Capt. Adolphus Hinuber, of the 68th foot, is appointed Deputy Adj. Gen. to the forces serving in the island of Minorca, with the rank of Major in the army, vice Mackenzie.
The army of General Angereau, consisting chiefly of Batavian troops, and those of the French that were in Holland, is to take the name of the army of Bohemia and of the Lower Rhine.
Mr. Editor,
The public conversation being so much engrossed on the dearth of provisions, I hope you will insert the following, which I trust, gives, a pretty just idea of the true causes thereof. In my attempt, the beginning of 1796, soon after the publication of my address to the public on the monopoly of small farms, to get established a Small Farm Society, by subscriptions of 100l shares, the meetings at the London Tavern were but thinly attended; it was found that powerful patronage was necessary to carry the proposed plan into effect, and the minister then wanting large sums of money, it was judged prudent by the few subscribers present to postpone their further attempts till Peace. I had, however, the satisfaction to find my plan with general approbation.
From the information then obtained, and the communications made me from various parts, it appears, that within the last forty years there have been monopolized and consolidated into large farms upwards of 40,000 small ones, to the destruction of so many families, besides cottages dependant on them; but if I calculate them at 30,000, their annual produce in live stock only, independent of Grain and hay, on the lowest possible average will stand thus:—60,000 calves, 300,000 lambs, 300,000 pigs, 600,000 chickens, and 4,500,000 lbs. of butter, besides milk, cheese and eggs, leaving geese, ducks, turkeys, and pigeons out of the calculation. Since the small farms have been consolidated into large ones, it is believed scarce one fourth of the live stock is produced, and very probably not more than three fourths the quantity of grain and hay—besides the small farms, the cottages which were attached to them generally raised some live stock, which might also be taken into the account.
From these circumstances I am induced to challenge Sir John Sinclair, and all the advocates for large farms, to prove that farms of 1000 acres each produce an equal quantity of grain, hay and live stock, and support as many persons as ten small farms of 100 acres each (there were formerly numerous farms of 40 and 50 acres) and unless they can prove this, my positions will stand good, that large farms are injurious and small ones highly beneficial to the community. For the advantage and happiness of the nation, I wish to provoke a free discussion on the subject, but not under the long black cloak of anonymous; for it will bring truth to light—it will then be seen whether it is for the interest of the nation that the lands of Great Britain should be portioned out amongst a few opulent persons, to the injury of the whole; and it will also be seen whether the Legislators of our ancestors were guilty of folly in repeatedly enacting, and confirming laws for the protection of the small farmer and the cottager, or whether our modern Legislators have injured their country by repealing those laws, for since the repeal in 1768, of the acts of the 3d, 4th, 5th, and 6th of Edward VI. the 3d of Philip and Mary, 5th of Elizabeth, 5th of Charles II. and 5th of Queen Anne, those salutary laws which had stood the test of centuries against badgers, engrossers, forefellers, and regraters, every species of provisions have been rapidly advancing in price.
What do the large farmers in general raise, except grain and hay, more than sufficient for their own family use? It is the small farmer and the cottager who weekly supply the markets, with small stock, butter and eggs, and too much encouragement cannot be given to them.
The immense number of enclosure which have for many years been taking place, under a bad system, I am satisfied have been injurious to the country. How many cottagers have thereby been dispossessed of their much loved spots, and their offspring forced on the parish for subsistence! In short what has the country gained by monopoly, experiments and enclosures! The answer is, almost a famine! Humbled to solicit by large rewards, foreign lands to supply us with bread, whereas we formerly supplied them.
I cannot too much impress on the minds of the corporation of the city of London, and of all the great cities and manufacturing towns, the circumstances, for surely if
ever there was room to petition the throne or legislature for redress of grievances, it is now, when they so forcibly come home to every man's feeling.
I am, Sir,
T. WRIGHT.
R A T I S B O N.
September 4.
Notwithstanding the continuance of war like preparations on both sides, for the renewal of hostilities, all hopes for a peaceable accommodation are not yet relinquished, since intelligence has been received, that on the 30th ult. some hours before the notice of the termination of the armistice arrived in the Imperial head quarters at Old Oettingen, another French courier, directly from Paris, had arrived there, who, on being told that he could not be suffered to pursue his journey to Vienna, declared he would not deliver his dispatches, but would immediately return with them for Paris, upon which he was allowed to continue his journey, accompanied by an Austrian officer. An Imperial courier, coming from Vienna, also hastened through Augsburg on the 31st ult. for Paris. These circumstances keep alive our hopes, that before the expiration of the armistice, on the 10th inst. a favourable change may take place and we are assured from good authority, that Moreau had full powers, in this case, to discontinue hostilities.—Lieutenant General Grenier, meanwhile, continues making the necessary preparations in the left wing under his command. The day after to-morrow he will quit this city, and fix his head quarters, for the present, at Freyburg. The greater part of our garrison will also leave us, which has already been the case this morning with some companies of grenadiers; and we learn, that only a few hundred men are to remain here, under General Ney. By mutual consent, the gates of this city were thrown open yesterday morning, after they had been closed ever since the 29th ult. but the Imperialists would not suffer any provisions to be carried over from their side, and but with great difficulty some waggons with merchandise were suffered to pass. At five o'clock the gates were shut again, and since that time, the post only is permitted to go which departs at five o'clock in the afternoon. To day the General in Chief Moreau arrived here, accompanied by eight of his life guards, and the chief of his Staff, General Desolles. To-morrow he will pursue his journey to Straubing.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 6.
In our neighborhood hostilities will not commence to morrow, but on the 10th instant. at six o'clock in the evening in consequence of the arrival of a Captain of Szekler hussars, with a letter from the Imperial Field Marshal Lieut. Simbschen, that the general of Division Barbour, who commands in the absence of General Angereau, desiring that as in Bavaria, the armistice might continue three days longer namely to the 10th of September, to which General Barbour, agreed, informing the Austrian Officer that he had already sent a Lieutenant Colonel to General Simbschen, for the same purpose. In the night from the 4th to the 5th instant, the French marched from their cantonments in the vicinity of Wurzburg towards Mergentheim. General Simbschen, has his head quarters at Schwanfurt, where he waits for reinforcements. His corps is greatly weakened, since it has been left by the Mentz, armed peasants, the Militias of Franconia, and the Mentz troops of the line. About the 9th inst. the Elector of Bavaria is expected to arrive at Bareuth, from Aumburg, with a suit of 232 persons, for whose reception the palace and fourteen houses in the town are expected, exclusive of those that will be wanted by the ambassadors accompanying him.
VIENNA, Sept. 3.
On the 31st of August arrived here, accompanied by an Austrian Officer, the same French courier, who, in the winter between 1796 and 1797, passed three months in this city. He came last from the head-quarters of our army in Bavaria, the command of which, ad interim , has been taken by General Count Collovrath. Soon after his arrival, he delivered in his dispatches to the department for Foreign Affairs, and thence went to the quarters assigned him in the barracks of Salzgries.
At the moment, therefore, when notice has been given on the part of the French, of the cessation of the armistice on the 10th of September, dispatches have been sent from Paris, on the answer to which every thing will depend. The modifications which were offered, on our part, to the first propositions of Bonaparte, have been refused at Paris, and it is required that the first preliminaries, with a very few alterations, shall be accepted and ratified, or all farther negotiations will be broken off, & hostilities recommenced.
Immediately after the above-mentioned dispatches were received, a Council of State was held. Our hopes of peace are now somewhat revived.
An offer will be made to the Archduke Charles of the command of the army in Bavaria, which is now entrusted, ad interim , to Count Collovrath. It was before reported that it would be commanded by the Palatine of Hungary, and under him by General Lauer, Director of the Corps of Engineers at Vienna.
Another letter, same date.
General Kray will retire with a pension of 4,000 florins. Some other officers, it is said, will likewise leave the army.
Orders have been sent to Bohemia to supply the fortresses of that kingdom with provisions, artillery, and ammunition, as speedily as possible.
Our State Paper fell 3 per cent. on the intelligence that the French had given notice of the ending of the armistice.
An order has been published to day for all soldiers, both privates and officers to join their regiments and respective corps immediately.
In Bohemia, the recruiting for the completion of the regiments is carried on with the greatest activity; besides which, every 20th man is taken for the militia.
Yesterday a full Council of State was held; after the breaking up of which a courier was sent off for France; this is considered as in some degree encouraging the hope of peace.
AUGSBURGH, Sept. 4.
The head-quarters of General Moreau will be removed in a few days to Munich.
A deputation which had been sent from Munich to make representations to General Moreau, on account of a heavy requisition of bread, oxen, &c. has obtained no redress; as the centre of the French army is to form a camp in the vicinity of Munich.
The recall of General Kray from the command of the army was notified to him in a short note from the Emperor's own hand.
STUTGARD, Sept. 5.
The following article appears in our Gazette;—"The appearances of an approaching peace are again renewed. All the French troops which were marching forwards from Suabia have returned to the quarters which they left a few days since, and the armistice is to be prolonged for some days.
PRAGUE, Sept. 5.
According to our gazette, should the war, contrary to expectation be renewed, certain foreign powers will take a decisive part in it. It is probable, under the present circumstances, that the notification of the cessation of the armistice on the part of the French, will contribute greatly to hasten a peace.

WHEREAS the two Houses of the Legislature of this State now in session, have duly nominated and appointed Electors in this State for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States of America, whereof notice will be immediately sent to each of them by express. But as by reason of accidents either to some of the express messengers or to the letters committed to their care, it may so happen, that every of the said Electors may not receive his notice in due season—I therefore think it proper by this Proclamation to make it known, that Isaac Ledyard of the county of Queens, Anthony Lisdanard of the city and county of New-York, Pierre Van Cortlandt , jun. of the county of Westchester, James Durt of the county of Orange, Gilbert Livingston of the county of Dutchess, Thomas Jenkins and Peter Van Ness of the county of Columbia, Robert Ellis of the county of Saratoga, John Woodworth of the county of Rensselaer, Jeremiah Van Rensselaer of the city and county of Albany, Jacob Baker of the county of Montgomery, and William Floyd of the county of Suffolk, are the Electors in this State, nominated and appointed, as before mentioned, for the Election of President and Vice-President of the United States of America. And therefore that it will be proper for all of them to attend and do that business at the time and place fixed by law, even in case the notices sent by express should not come to the hands of every of them in due time.
GIVEN under my hand and the Privy Seal of the State, at the city of Albany the 7th day of November, one thousand eight hundred.
JOHN JAY.
Legislature of New-York.
SATURDAY, Nov. 8.
Answer of the Assembly, to the Speech of his Ex. the Governor. To His Ex. JOHN JAY , Esq. Governor of the State of New-York.
SIR,
WE are sensibly impressed with the importance of the business that has occasioned the convening the legislature at this time: and we shall steadily pursue that temperate line of conduct which is equally removed from a dangerous spirit of innovation and a slavish adherence to customary forms.
We contemplate with high satisfaction the growing prosperity of our country, and acknowledge with gratitude the distinguished favours of Providence towards us.
The different class of public expenditures which demand more order and economy, shall receive due attention. The extraordinary expences of the counties and towns under the manner in which they are at present incurred, liquidated and conducted, evince that the system is defective and requires legislative interference. But notwithstanding any defect, we lament that instances have occurred where the boards of supervisors have disregarded statutes constitutionally enacted; and we trust that your Excellency on whom the constitution has enjoined the important duty of seeing that the laws are faithfully executed, has taken effectual measures to bring all such offenders to exemplary punishment.
The amelioration of our present system of taxation will command our attention, and we hope by our deliberation thereon to confirm the public confidence reposed in the legislature.
Being firmly impressed with a belief that it is essential to the duration of civil liberty, and the well being of a free people, that the several departments and officers of their government do on all occasions strictly observe the constitutional powers committed to them, your communication relative to the interference of the legislature, in individual cases, by private acts to control the lawful operations of wills and testaments, requires our candid consideration.
That it is the duty of every free and virtuous government to countenance and encourage morality and religion, is a truth which cannot be denied; yet how far legislative interference in aid of divine worship contributes to the advancement of true religion, is a question which merits the most deliberate and serious reflection.
The inconveniencies anticipated from certain parts of our constitution, claim our attention.
Such further communications, Sir, as you shall think proper to make to us, shall receive our mature deliberations. And keeping constantly in view the true interest of our Constituents, we shall cheerfully co-operate with your excellency in every measure calculated to advance this important end, and nothing on our part shall be wanting to promote the utmost harmony.
By order of the Assembly, SAMUEL OSGOOD , Speaker. Assembly chamber, Nov. 8, 1800.
His Excellency's Reply.
GENTLEMEN, IT gives me pleasure to be assured that the several matters recommended to your consideration, will receive the attention due to their importance; nor am I less gratified by your suggesting, that disobedience to the Laws should meet with exemplary punishment. Experience shews that a patriotic disposition in the Legislature to encourage and support the Executive in fulfilling that duty, is not unimportant to the uninter-
rupted administration of justice and the maintenance of good order.
Nothing certainly can more conduce to secure to the State the benefits resulting from co-operation and harmony between the departments of the Government, than that the true interests of our constituents be constantly kept in view: this sentiment cannot be too strongly impressed on our minds, nor too uniformly animate our endeavors to promote the peace and prosperity of our country.
JOHN JAY.
The respectful Answer of the Senate of the State of New-York, to the speech of his Excellency John Jay, Esq. Governor of the said State.
Impressed with considerations, arising from consequences connected with the Election of a First Magistrate of the United States, we are sensible of its importance and we trust that the business will be conducted with that temper and moderation which become the Representatives of a free and enlightened People, and that no difference of sentiment, springing from this or any other source, will tend to interrupt the public tranquility, or in the most remote degree affect the political existence of the Nation.
With a proper sense of gratitude, for the continuance of the blessings of Providence, to our happy Country, our duty, coinciding with inclination, will prompt us to adopt such measures as may conduce to preserve and advance the welfare of the State; and in pursuing this end will lead us to concur in such improvements in our public affairs as may be expedient.
With this object in view, we receive with attention the suggestions of your Excellency respecting County Expenditures; the imperfections in our present system of Taxation; the interference by acts of the Legislature, in controlling the legal operation of wills and testaments; the statute enabling Religious Societies to become Corporations as at relates to the adequate support of Ministers of the Gospel; and the propriety of a provision for restricting the number of Senators and Representatives.
We reciprocate the assurances offered by your Excellency, and consider the general tenor of your administration as the firmest pledge, for your co-operation in measures, which will render the session beneficial to the state and agreeable to ourselves.
By order of the Senate, Stephen Van Rensselaer , President. Senate Chamber Nov. 8, 1800.
To which his Excellency was pleased to make the following reply.
GENTLEMEN,
Accept my thanks for this address.—When I consider the political fluctuations which distress so many other countries, I become impressed with a strong sense of the importance of stability in our public councils: it is an agreeable circumstance that the constitution of the state has not been regardless of this object, and that the great and respectable body of citizens whom you represent, and to whom it is particularly interesting, have much to expect from your steadfast attention and adherence to it.
Whether my administration merits the approbation with which you have frequently honoured it, is not for me to say—but I cannot omit this occasion of observing, that I shall carry with me into private life, the pleasure of recollecting the marks of confidence I have received from my fellow citizens, and also the pleasure of reflecting that I have served them faithfully—My best wishes for the happiness of our country will not cease or abate, and the most fervent of those wishes will be, that the high degree of liberty and prosperity we enjoy under our present government, may be so filled and enjoyed, as not to incur the displeasure of the Great Sovereign of Nations, who remembers though men too often forget, that liberty and prosperity are of his gift and bounty.
JOHN JAY.
At a meeting of the Council of appointment on the 29th ult. His Excellency Governor Jay laid before the board, a number of affidavits, stating that William Baucus, Esq. an assistant justice and justice of peace for the county of West Chester, residing in the town of Poundridge, had, at a town meeting there held, admitted non-resident freeholders to vote. These affidavits were referred to the attorney general, who, on the third instant, reported it as his opinion (which is founded on the 2d section of the act for the more orderly holding town meetings) "that freeholders and others, residing out of the town, have not, by law, a right to vote at town meetings; and that the votes of persons of such description, ought to be rejected as illegal." It was then resolved, that this opinion be agreed to, and that the justices of Poundridge be advised thereof.
SAVANNAH, October 31.
A gentleman from St. Mary's informs us, that Bowles and his adherents, consisting only of 16 renegados white and black men, were lately driven from their encampment above Coleraine and obliged to swim across the river, by a party of militia from that neighbourhood. One negro, who was in the camp was made prisoner.
BALTIMORE Nov. 15.
The extraordinary method which the state of Tennessee had adopted to appoint presidential electors, renders it very difficult to anticipate the result of the election in that state. The legislature, which met but once in two years, after dividing, the state into three districts, have appointed three men in each county, who are to form a convention in each district, for the choice of an elector.
Washington county.
Kershner 820.
Williams 644.
The latter is the federal candidate, Allegheny belongs to this district, and will probably give the federalists a majority.

MR. WAYNE.
Mr. Dallas has lately obtruded upon the public, two publications respecting the constitutional mode of electing Electors; these papers, whatever form they may have chosen to give them, were evidently in the first instance designed for the press; each of them is stamped with no inconsiderable portion of arrogance; and both of them are rendered singular by a spirit of sophistry and misrepresentation equally disgraceful to his character and his cause.
1st. By the people at large, 2d. By the people in districts, or 3d. By the Legislature representing the people.
In his second letter when justifying the opinion, that the Legislature are empowered to make a choice, he says that the state may be considered either in its physical or political capacity, that in its physical capacity it consists of the people themselves, in its political capacity of the legislature representing the people.
The true question therefore, according to Mr. Dallas's own statement is; what is the legislature? what is that power which thus represents the state; and which is thus entrusted with the delegated portion of its sovereignty.
The Legislature is defined to be that power which makes laws: in whom by the constitution of Pennsylvania is this power vested? "In a General Assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
The Legislature, therefore, consists of two distinct independent branches; each having a control over the measures of the other, the consent of each being necessary except in certain specified cases to enable the acts of the other to be carried into effect.
If it is admitted, that the members of the two branches jointly assembled, have no legislative powers; it is a contradiction in terms to say they can be a legislature; since no legislative act, entered upon by them can be legal in its operation and effect.
In order however, to rescue himself from the ridicule attached to his dogmas, Mr. Dallas attempts to render the constitution as absurd as his own opinions. He says that in two cases the Legislature are empowered to make an election by joint vote, and that this circumstance proves that the Legislature for deliberative purposes only, are to act distinctly and concurrently; but that for ministerial purposes it was intended they should act conjointly or by a conventional vote.
It appears, however, that the framers of the Magna Charta of our liberties, as they had more correct ideas, used more correct language than himself. If "two or more shall be equal and highest in votes" says that sacred instrument, one of them shall be chosen Governor (not by the Legislature but) by the joint vote of the Members of both Houses." Again "the State Treasurer shall be appointed annually by the joint vote of the Members of both Houses."
If the members of the two Houses acting conjointly, would compose a body incapable of legally acting, and which would not be invested with the Sovereign Powers of the State, it follows that they are to be viewed in no other light than as individual citizens, and that the Legislature can no more authorize them to make an election of electors, than they can give the same power to the Divan of Turkey, the Tribunate of Paris, or the Parliament of Great Britain.
ANOTHER OF THE COMMITTEE.
[The following Song, written by the Bard of Ayrshire is an elegant and tuneful compliment to the lovely female to whom it was originally addressed. It seems, from a note below, that the fair Caledonian has exchanged the mountains and the Poes of Scotland for the shores of the Atlantic, and the din of Commerce.]
THE BLUE EYED LASSIE. (From vol. 4 of Burn's works.)
I jagg'd a waefu' gate, yesfreen, A gate I fear, I'll dearly rue; I gat my death frae twa sweet een Twa lovely een o' bonnie blue Twas not her golden ringlets bright Her lips, like roses, wat wi' dew Her heaving bosom, lily white It was here e'en fae bonnie blue. She talk'd, she smil'd, my heart she wyl'd, She charm'd my soul, I wist not how; And ay the sound, the deadly wound Cam frae her e'en fae bonnie blue But spare to speak, and spare to speed; She'll aiblins listen to my vow Should she refuse, I'll lay my dead To her twa een fae bonnie blue.
Dr. Currie, the Editor of Burn's, informs us that "the Heroine of this song was Miss J. of Lochmabon. This Lady now Mrs. R. after residing some time in Liverpool is settled with her husband in New York, North America."
LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
Dr. Currie, of Liverpool, has published a very brilliant and complete edition of the works of Robert Burns, a poet, the rays of whose fancy have shed new light and lustre upon Scotland, the land of learning. This valuable edition of the works of an original bard, is enriched with much sound criticism, and, above all, with the biography of Burns.
A very late English writer observes that the cumbrous volumes of Voltaire and Wieland are greedily sought, and printed with all the meretricious decorations of engraving, hot press and wire woven paper and that the "Grapeshot of Literature" is spreading havoc all around in the light essays of a Godwin, in the deleterious novels of a Holcroft, and in the licentious plays and crazy tales of Diablerie and Witcherie, now pouring from Germany throughout Europe.
It is well remarked by an observer that the world is overwhelmed by the daily influx of modern publications, pouring in, on all sides, from the ocean of Literature.
The first and most important reform, and which loudly calls for the immediate and serious attention of every Philosopher, statesman and divine is the restoration of the respectability of the Press. To prevent it from being degrading into a bad ministering angel of Deism, a pander to the vice or the folly of the vulgar, a vehicle of bombastic nonsense, and canting and lying Patriotism, or a kennel, through which every French, and every German impurity may pass, and "Sink in the nostrils of the People."
The Committees appointed by the Senate and House of Representatives, on the subject of the disagreement of the two Houses respecting the bill, entitled, "An act to direct, on behalf of this state, the manner of appointing the Electors of a President and Vice President of the United States" have had several meetings since Friday last, without adjusting the difference between them; it is said that another effort was to have been made yesterday morning, and if the opinions of the committees did not then harmonize, they would report their disagreement to their respective Houses.
The following are the names of the members of the two Committees: From the Senate—Messrs. Gurney, Ewing, McClellan, Johnson, and Barton. From the House of Representatives—Messrs. Whitehill, Boileau, Logan, Penrose, and Snyder.
IMPORTANT. Last evening arrived in this city from Lancaster, Tenche Coxe, Esq. with face, nearly as long, and heart, as heavy, as his own compositions. Totally defeated in the Country, he now tempts the Town, but, alas! the race of Jacobinism is nearly over, and the friends of the would-be secretary hint that his "much speaking" and much writing had better at present be spared.
The Jacobin Members of the New-York Legislature, have held a caucus, at which they have resolved to support G. CLINTON, the father-in-law of GENET, the French Jacobin, as Governor of that State. On Sunday evening, the 26th ult. the light-house on Brandt Point, (Nantucket,) was blown down. The ship Swiftsure, from Liverpool, for and belonging to New-York, was chased into Newport, on Friday the 7th instant, and a British privateer brig of 14 guns, and 40 men, from Halifax. The Swiftsure left Liverpool, on the 4th of October.
An infamous publication has lately appeared in this city, entitled the "Sixth number of the Ruler Light," and ascribed to Cobbett. Any man of common sense who reads the work, and is acquainted with the style of its pretended author, will at once perceive that it is an abandoned fabrication, probably written in Philadelphia, and calculated and calculated and intended to produce an effect on the election for President. It is not even stated to have been printed in England, and the first person who is known to have sold it, is one Rawle, an avowed and notorious democrat. A forgery so evident and abominable has seldom issued even from a Jacobin Press, and it is hoped that the people of this country with all their cullibility, are too well informed to be made the dupes of a stratagem as weak as it is villainous.
PUBLIC THANKSGIVING.
The next Sabbath will be observed in the Churches of different denominations in this city, as a Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer for the Mercy of God experienced by us during the Seasons of this year.
Inhabitants of Philadelphia!
You are called to the discharge of a solemn, and necessary, and transporting duty. Will you pierce Heaven with your cries in the time of trouble and affliction, and will you refuse your gratitude and acknowledgments to your God when he sends you prosperity? Frequently has the Lord frowned upon you in his just displeasure; and frequently has his blow of justice followed your crimes; But again have you turned unto folly. Again have you laughed at Divine Indignation, and trampled under foot the awful blood of redemption. Let not your conduct be again chargeable with his ingratitude. Forget not that Providence who hath manifested a forbearance towards you far beyond your merits—who hath not during the last Summer and Autumn permitted his Pestilence to visit you, to glut the grave with his prey, and to render this metropolis the scene of desolation and mourning. Let all the Houses of God then be filled at the ensuing Sabbath by his grateful People—Let his Ministers proclaim how great are his Mercies; and let the offerings of pious joy be united with praise, repentance, and humility.
[Phila. Gaz.]
No dispatches have been received by the Government of the United States, as stated in a Philadelphia paper; but from concurring advices there is the greatest probability that the account, taken from an English paper, that a treaty has been concluded between this Country and France, is true. We know this belief is entertained by the best informed men in Washington. [Wash. pap.]
A number of English and American shipwrecked seamen have been landed at Bermuda this fall, where they have been treated with the greatest humanity.

Pennsylvania Legislature.
LANCASTER, November 14.
Messrs. Boileau, Penrose, and Wilson, of the House of Representatives, waited on the Governor this day and presented the following answer of that body to his address.
To THOMAS M'KEAN, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
SIR, The House of Representatives impressed with the importance of the extraordinary occasion, on which you have convened the Legislature, take this early opportunity to express their approbation of so laudable and patriotic an interposition of the executive authority.
While the motives by which you have been actuated, justly increase your claims upon the public confidence and esteem, we anxiously hope, that the honorable example of your conduct, will produce a cordial co-operation, in all the departments of the government, to rescue Pennsylvania from the stigma of neglecting the performance of an important constitutional duty, and endangering the energy and stability of the Union.
We concur, Sir, in the general opinion which you have announced, that the appointment of the electors of a President and Vice President of the United States, by a general choice of the people, is the truest, safest, fairest exposition of the constitution; and we sincerely lament the necessity which even in a single instance, has imposed a departure from that rule; but as there is
no alternative except a Legislative appointment, or a dereliction of the right of election, the good sense of our constituents will discern the dangerous consequence of the latter course, and justify a resolution to pursue the former. Under this conviction, we have given a prompt attention to your address, and guided in the present instance, by the precedent which our sister States have established—by the obvious spirit of the constitution and laws of Pennsylvania, in similar cases—and by the very nature of the subject, we trust that whatever may be the issue of this interesting session, there will be no cause on our part, for self-reproach or public censure.
We shall receive your future communications, on the general state of the Commonwealth, with merited respect; and be assured, Sir, that all the means in our power will constantly be employed to preserve that liberal and harmonious intercourse between the departments of the government, which is essential to the advancement of our private happiness, as well as to the execution of our public trust.
To which the Governor returned the following reply:
To the House of Representatives to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN, AS it is my constant study to merit the approbation of the Legislature in all my official proceedings, it affords me a sincere satisfaction to receive the present testimonial of confidence and esteem from the House of Representatives.
That the occasion of which you are convened is an important one, appears to be the unanimous opinion of every private citizen, as well as of every public officer. It involves the fulfilment of a solemn obligation to our sister states, and the discharge of an indispensable duty, which we owe to our constituents. Though therefore, it is no longer in your power to pursue the most eligible mode of appointing electors. I am happy to find, that you consider the appointments as an act, that must, at all events, be performed, in any mode that the constitution will allow. Convinced as I am, that the virtual secession of Pennsylvania, by refusing or neglecting to give her vote, in the organization of the Federal government, will be a vital stab to the Union, under which it may, perhaps, long languish, but from which it can never perfectly recover, I wait with inexpressible solicitude, the ultimate determination of the Legislature.
Yet, Gentlemen, I cannot allow myself to despair. If the voice of the people is at all regarded; if their welfare is contemplated; if the honour of the Legislature, as a body, is consulted, if the blessings of a quiet conscience are to be preferred to its members, as individuals, and if the applause of all good men is an object of pursuit—Pennsylvania cannot fail to be rescued from the impending danger and disgrace. THOMAS M'KEAN.
The following is the answer reported by a Committee of the Senate, composed of Messrs. Gurney, Poffethwaite & Smith:
REPORT OF A COMMITTEE.
To THOMAS M'KEAN, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Senate, sensible of the importance of your communication to both houses of the Legislature, have given it the most early attention.
The circumstance of no mode of electing electors of President and Vice President of the United States being yet prescribed is a subject of general regret, but had a more early interposition of the executive authority been extended, it is probable there would not have been occasion for the regret at this late day.
We feel the influences of those occurrences which admonish us all to rally round the constitution of our country, and permit us to add the constitution of our particular state, we shall carefully advert to their respective provisions in all our deliberations on the important subject of choosing electors, and we confidently hope that the result will consist with the former without infringing the political balance of the latter.
The day of election being so near at hand as to preclude our constituents from an immediate participation in the choice of electors, we shall endeavor to devise such a mode as, that while it conforms to our constitution, shall promise all the satisfaction to our fellow citizens that the emergency of present circumstances will possibly admit. Thus shall we become exonerated from responsibility as far as depends on the Senate of this important state to preserve its merited place in the great scale of the Union.
