CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 27, 1794.
Debate on Mr. Dayton's motion to restore the words "self-created societies and," which had been expunged in the address to the President in answer to his Speech.
Mr. DEXTER rose in reply to Mr. Madison. He said that, if he viewed the subject as trivial as some gentlemen appeared to, he would not trouble the house with any further remarks, after having so long detained them while in committee; if he viewed the amendment proposed as dangerous to the most perfect freedom of expressing political opinions, as the gentleman seemed to who was last up, he would be the last to support it. He said that the most certain way to destroy this freedom was to encourage an unlimited abuse of it, and the way to render a free press useless was to prostitute it to the base purposes of party and falsehood, until wearied with constant impositions the public would reject all information from that source as uncertain and delusive. He said that the most successful weapon used by the enemies of civil freedom ever had been, to push the ideas of liberty to such wild extremes as to render it impracticable and ridiculous, and thus to compel the sober part of the community to submit to usurpation as a less evil than utter insecurity and anarchy; he added, if America loses her liberty, this will be the instrument of her destruction. We possess, he said, greater equality of property and information than any other nation; the means of subsistence are so easily obtained that no man is necessarily dependent on the will of another; from these circumstances our country is more fit than any other for a republican form of government; if we fail in maintaining it, we shall be fairly considered to have made an experiment not only for ourselves, but for the world, which will prove that the beautiful theory of civil freedom is not practicable by man; that ambition and envy, aided by ignorance, are naturally too strong for patriotism. Mr. DEXTER said, that the nature of civil freedom is more obscure than its real friends could wish; that it consists rather in what it forbids than in what it allows, that man was free before he became a member of society, that the great object of associating was not to obtain freedom, for that was possessed before; but to guard against the abuse of it in violating the rights of others. My liberty, he said, is that all other citizens are restrained from violating my rights, and the liberty of each one of them is, that I and all others are equally restrained from violating his rights. Restraint then is necessary to constitute civil liberty, and the uniformity of this restraint, as it operates equally on all classes of citizens, is equality. I know Sir, that a doctrine very different from this has been held by some false apostles of liberty, and that the aspiring, the vicious, the desperate and the weak have flocked to this standard; by them the power to violate the rights of others, and disturb the public peace with impunity, has been prophane-ly called liberty, and the universality of this has been called equality. Can I be a freeman, Sir, if the government, which is my only security for all my rights, may be invaded with impunity, and my reputation the dearest of all possessions, and the best reward of virtue, blasted by the foul breath of slander and falsehood? When this shall be admitted as a principle in the American code, we shall call that freedom which will be our misery; we shall cease to deserve liberty; we shall need a master. Let men meet for deliberating on public matters; let them freely express their opinions in conversation or in print, but let them do this with a decent respect for the will of the majority, and for the government and rulers which the people have appointed; let them not become a band of conspirators to make and propagate falsehood and slander; let them not instigate to the highest crimes against society; and, Sir, if any have so done, let us not encourage them in these outrages by calling them the exercise of the inviolable rights of freemen. To suffer misrepresentations of government to gain credit among the people, is giving a blow to the weakest part of our government. It would be a most important political acquisition if means could be devised to scatter thro' the union true ideas of the measures of government. The best intentions cannot now guard the citizens from being deceived by the cunning and depraved; some improvement on this subject seems essentially necessary to perfect the system of political freedom. Scattered as our
countrymen are over an immense country, and employed in useful industry, perhaps this is rather to be wished for than expected; but we can at least take measures to prevent the most fatal effects from misrepresentations and scandal. Mr. Dexter said, he had made these remarks as being applicable to most of the reasoning against the proposed amendment, and particularly to that of the gentleman from Virginia who last sat down, (Mr. Madison.)
He was no more inclined to infringe rights which the people had reserved than that gentleman, but he did not know any article or principle of the constitution by which the people had reserved to themselves the precious right of vilifying and misrepresenting their own government and laws and exciting treason and rebellion with impunity. However inestimable the right of free discussion of public matters and of a free press might be, and no man valued them more highly than himself, he thought that when they were so abused as to become hostile to liberty and threaten her destruction, the abuses ought to be corrected, and he argued from the principle of self-preservation that the government of every country must have the right to do so. Unless those are more sacred than the very liberty they are designed to secure, this cannot be denied. Mr. D. observed that Mr. M. had stated as a principle, from which to argue and on which almost all his deductions were founded, a proposition so doubtful in itself that it ought rather to be proved, than assumed as a first principle from which to reason, viz. that we cannot rightfully intermeddle in any way with a subject, which we cannot regulate by law. Admitting it to be a true and self-evident proposition, however, he said, it concluded nothing against the amendment. For it would still remain to be proved, which it never could be, that the legislature had no right to restrain such abuses by law. He did not think it necessary or expedient to make any law on the subject, he hoped it never would be; but he did not doubt the right to forbid such flagrant outrages on social order and all arts tending to produce them. There can be no better proof, he said, that such laws may be made than that they now exist. Mr. M. had mentioned religious societies as not to be prohibited by law; as such Mr. D. said they clearly could not be, no more could harmless discussions of political subjects by individuals or associations; but would any man doubt, when under the pretence of the exercise of these rights the blackest crimes were instigated and perpetrated, that the law had a right to punish? The clubs have waged war not only with the government which the people have instituted and the rulers which they have appointed, but they have counteracted all the most essential principles of republicanism. They, being a small minority, have attempted to control the majority; to usurp a power which the people never delegated to them, to act as censors of the government and laws; they are responsible to nobody for the exercise of it, and are to continue in office as long as they shall please. Such societies have all the properties, except the power, of absolute despotism; yet these tyrants prate about liberty and prophane the name of republicanism. Mr. D. adverted to Mr. M.'s observation that the censure intended must be a punishment, and that the House had no constitutional right to convict of or punish for crimes. If, the proposed amendment be a punishment, he said, it is of a singular kind; it is punishment in the abstract without an object punished. It says that certain self-created societies have trespassed. Can this be called a stigma on all such societies? The word certain forbids this construction. Which society is punished? None unless conscience or public opinion shall designate the object. The President in another part of his address has lamented that certain citizens have shown themselves capable of an insurrection, and we have done the same in our answer; is this a stigma on all citizens? It had been repeatedly said, that the measure is unnecessary, because the danger has subsided; but he asked, is it not necessary to inform the people from whence the evil arose, to guard against a repetition of it! Can we always presume on the same prompt patriotism of a future Executive; or the same public confidence in his measures, and compliance with his requisitions? Or on the same good fortune in reclaiming or subjugating the disobedient?
There was a time when the insurrection was truly formidable; it rose like a water-spout threatening to annihilate gravity and throw the Ocean to Heaven; as that by force of the general principle of attraction returns again to its former level and mixes with the sur-
rounding waters, so this civil tumult has been overcome by the energy of the laws; but it is folly to incur future evils presuming on similar good fortune. The heavy hand of despotism may forcibly hold down the scale which preponderates, and preserve public order; but in free establishments like ours, where the scales are nicely balanced, the smallest breach disturbs the equilibrium.
A gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Giles) has compared the amendment to the denunciations of France. Those were not uttered by the organs of the public will; they were denunciations of individuals or self-created societies against individuals, whereas this is neither. This is only stating a fact for public information. The same gentleman and many others have said that we have not sufficient evidence of this fact. We know Sir, that resolutions of such societies encouraging rebellion were made and published; we know that their natural effect did take place. Knowing then both the cause and effect, can we doubt of their connection? If I see a firelock pointed at a man, hear the discharge, see the man fall, I on inspection find a ball lodged in his body, can I doubt as to the cause of the death of the man, because I could not see the ball pass from the muzzle to the man? Must we see things in their nature invisible, before we believe? The President has been present at the scene of insurrection, we have his testimony on the subject, and other official communications are not wanting. We have the pointed testimony of the member from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Scott) who was an eye witness. He tells us that the club there directed the insurrection, that the same men were leaders in the club and in the field, and that they corresponded with other clubs. The gentleman from Virginia, last alluded to, has said that discontent and disturbance existed there prior to the establishment of clubs. But does it follow from this that their measures when established did not encrase the evil, and, by deceiving the malcontents as to the principles and conduct of the Government and the disposition of the people, encourage them to take arms? The clubs declared they spoke the opinion of the people and the deluded Insurgents believed them. The same gentleman has said that the President addresses the public, and not us, on this subject; and therefore does not expect an answer. Why Sir shall not we join in the address, if it be true and useful? The Senate have done it; if we do not, we seem to contradict it. If we do not, we create a dangerous disagreement between the different branches of Government, distract the public mind, and encourage disorders. If the member from Pennsylvania is to be credited, and no man will dispute his testimony, the clubs are more criminal than the deluded Insurgents; yet we have censured the latter without reserve. Why Sir, has the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Giles) criminated so severely our zeal on this question? Why has he condemned the oratory it has excited, when he often gives us such handsome specimens of it? If liberty and our country are in danger, it is treason to be cold. From the gentleman's censures on the loose reasoning and warmth in favor of the amendment we were led to expect from him the most dispassionate demonstration, yet the gentleman appeared in some of his reasoning more ingenious than solid; it was too fine spun to be strong. The strength of his understanding, like the intense heat of the sun, produced a vapour to obscure its own effulgence. One plain distinction is an answer to most of the reasoning of this gentleman and his colleagues. We do not contend for controlling or even advertising on the rights of opinion or of publishing opinions. We with only to call the attention of the public to the abuses of those rights and the crimes such abuses have produced, which endanger the existence of those very rights, and liberty in general, in order that the people knowing the evil, may themselves correct it.
Debate to be Continued.
Foreign Intelligence.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sept. 21.
Carnot, in the name of the committee of public safety, presented the following report on the events that preceded, accompanied and followed the surrender of Valenciennes, Conde, Le Quesnoy, and Landrecies.
"Your committee had resolved to surround the enemy, and cut off their communication. Jourdan executed this determination on the banks of the Sambre, Piechequ on the banks of the Scheldt. It was necessary to retake the fortresses of which the enemy had obtained possession, and in order that it might be done more speedily it was resolved to adopt revolution-
ary means; the decree of the 16th Messidor ordered, that such of the garrisons should be put to the sword as refused to surrender within 24 hours after being summoned. Nevertheless it was not forgotten that this law might become a terrible weapon against ourselves, by infusing despair into the minds of the foreign troops. The committee felt that for the convention, did not mean to pass a decree of carnage, but to save the country. They therefore suffered the generals to use their own prudence, with respect to executing or not executing the decree. The four garrisons were restored to the republic in less than four decades.
"We found in Valenciennes, 3 millions of florins, in specie, about six millions and a half of livres. Landrecies did not chuse to wait till her fortifications should be injured. Le Quesnoy and Conde made still less resistance. The commanders of such of the places as did not obey the decree within 24 hours prescribed, were arrested and rendered responsible for the non-execution of the decree. Despots are the only persons whom the convention would punish, and not those who have the misfortune to be their slaves. (Loud applause)
"Notwithstanding the perfidy of Robespierre, who gave it as his advice, that each of the places should be assaulted, tho' he knew that each assault would cost us at least 6000 men, notwithstanding the hopes of that monitor who waited only for a check on the part of our army, for the purpose of accusing his colleagues, Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy, Landrecies, and Newport, cost little blood to the republic, ere they were restored. The garrisons surrendered at discretion, and France triumphed by her generosity and courage.
"In remembrance of these blissful events, Conde has received the name of Nord Libre; and under the walls of that fortress we found 190 waggons of stores, provisions, and ammunition of all kinds.
"The emigrants taken in the different garrisons, have been delivered to the military tribunals. The national representatives on missions, have taken proper steps to restore to those four communes the usual activity in their commerce, primary schools and authorities."
The report was received with great applause, and the Convention immediately decreed that,
1. It should be printed and sent to the armies, the popular societies, and constituted authorities.
2. The convention approve of the measures taken by the committee of public safety relative to the surrender of the four garrisons, and the decree of the 16th Messidor.
3. That six copies of the report should be delivered to each of the deputies.
LONDON, Oct. 3.
Twenty Bylanders, loaded with stores belonging to the British army, have been taken by the enemy in passing down the Meuse.
The Proclamation for the further prorogation of the Parliament to the 25th of next month, is expected to appear in the Gazette of to-morrow evening.
Yesterday, a patent passed the Great Seal, appointing Lieut. Gen. Sir John Vaughan, K. B. commanding general of the troops in the West Indies, in the room of Sir Charles Grey, who is on his return to England.
Orders are given for all the troops in British pay to be withdrawn from the Dutch Fortresses.
The combined Swedish and Danish squadrons, consisting of 12 ships of the line, 4 frigates, and 4 cutters, sailed on the 14th ult. with the Prince Royal of Denmark on board the Admiral's ship, on a cruise in the North Sea for a month. The Prince Royal has landed at Elsinore, but the United Fleet is to keep at sea for a month.
The misunderstanding between Denmark and this country, is so completely done away, that the Danish Underwriters have again begun to take insurances on ships.
The Russians defeated the Polish General Chlivanowski, on the 21st of August near Olika. The Russians took the whole Polish camp, six pieces of cannon, and killed 200 Poles.
October 4.
We understand that the difference between a Great Personage and Mr. Pitt, no longer subsists. The parties have been reconciled through the interference of Mr. Dundas, and the Duke of Portland. It is now settled, if His Royal Highness the Duke of York, is prevailed upon to surrender the Command of the British Army to another General, that the resignation of the Earl of Chatham, as first Lord of the Admiralty, is immediately to follow.
October 3.
Yesterday afternoon three messengers and two mails reached town from Holland. The messengers were Messrs. Hunter, Caviza and Major. The latter, who came last from the army, left it on the 26th. His Royal Highness the Duke of York had changed his ground. No action had taken place.

THE SPECIAL COMMISSION. The Special Commission for the trial of
those confined in the Tower on the charge of High Treason, was yesterday opened at the Sessions-House, Clerkenwell-green. The Commissioners were, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the Lord Justice Grose, Lawrence and Buller, the Judges of the Common Pleas, and Mr. Baron Hotham. Their Lordships at half after nine o'clock in the morning assembled in the Court at the Sessions-House, in the presence of the prisoners, the judges of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the Lord Justice Grose, Lawrence and Buller, the Judges of the Common Pleas, and Mr. Baron Hotham. The whole court was lined with officers, and the prisoners were in the court and the adjoining room in almost innumerable numbers. Their Lordships having taken the places on the bench, the Speaker of the House of Commons was called in, and the report of the committee on the appointment of a grand jury, when out of the legal number on the panel were selected the following gentlemen, viz. Benj. Winthrop, Foreman. Tho. Bell, John Henry Synge, George Ward, Edward Ironsides, Joseph Lancaster, Benjamin Kenton, Thomas Cole, Rawdon Harberton, Robert Wilkinso, John Eyres, George G. Miller, William Pardoe Allet, Henry Wright, John Perry, John Hatchet, Samuel Winlow, Rowl. Stephen, Henry Peter Cuffe, John Campbell, Samuel Hawkins, and John Hankey. Tho. Everett Esqr. The Chief Justice addressed the grand jury and concluded with a humane admonition in favor of life. "It is," said he, "your business to stand forward in protection of your fellow-subjects, if innocent. If you shall believe them, by the evidence to be laid before you, not guilty of the heinous crime with which they stand charged, it is your duty to ignore the bills, and not subject them to a trial for their lives. But at the same time you ought also, if a sufficient ground of accusation shall appear, to take care of our gracious Sovereign, and the preservation of our happy and most valuable constitution. The grand jury having retired, thirty-six witnesses were sworn to give their evidence on the first indictment; after which the jury proceeded in the examination of witness, and afterwards adjourned till ten o'clock this morning.
UNITED STATES.
FREDERICK-TOWN, Nov. 20.
On Friday last came to this town, six persons, amongst them the celebrated captain Hoffner, charged with high treason against the constitution and laws of the United States; they were arrested some time ago, in the county of Washington—they left this town on Saturday morning escorted by a suitable guard, on their way to Annapolis, to take their trial at the general court, now sitting in that city.
HAVERHILL, Mass. Nov. 21.
On Tuesday last, that noble structure the BRIDGE over Merrimack river, was opened for Passengers (a work stupendous, and which was tho't by our ancestors impracticable but by the genius of the worthy President and Directors, in its origination, will be the wonder and praise of posterity!) At sun rising flags were displayed and cannon discharged from the several arches: At three o'clock, P.M. the President Vice President and Directors, Artificers and Labourers each with some tool emblematical of their profession, walked in procession over it, from this Town to Bradford shore, followed by the Clergy, Civil and Military Gentlemen, the School Master with his Scholars and others which collected upon the occasion, to the number of about 2000—On the verge of the river, a collation was provided for them by the proprietors, and the whole invited to partake.—At sun setting the flags were struck at the discharge of the cannon on the bridge, and the company separated—The regularity and order that was observed among such a large collection, was very remarkable. The strength, clearance, workmanship, and situation of this bridge, is not equalled in America, and perhaps not excelled in the world: it is 860 feet long, 34 feet wide, with three arches 182 feet each in length, supported by Stone Piers and Abutments.
BOSTON, Nov. 22.
John Henry, of the American Theatre, who died not long since, on his passage from New-York to Newport, had too much merit to quit the stage of this world, without some expressions of applause for having performed well the part of an honest man, an agreeable companion, a genuine philanthropist, and a sincere friend. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin; served under Gen. Burgoyne in Portugal, and was for some time in the family of the Duke of Northumberland, when Lord Lieut. of Ireland. He came to America in a dramatic character, and has not only been admired as such, but highly esteemed for the qualities of his heart. He had conversed much with the world, and had passed through a great variety of scenes in the tragicomical farce of this life. When we

to judge of the conduct of a man, we do him injustice, if we take not into the account his peculiar situation, and allow for it. A player's situation in society, though he be a real gentleman, and of pure morals, is often awkward, and always in a degree embarrassing, owing to the prejudice the world has imbibed against that class of people. An actor capable of conveying to an audience, the transcendent conceptions of a Shakespeare is really a genius. If this actor, be of good morals, why should we in bestowing applause on his genius, withhold our expressions of esteem for him as a man, especially if we find his heart replete with the milk of human kindness?
Henry admired the Bostonians, and has been frequently heard to say, that the uppermost with him of his soul was to be a Manager of the Boston Theatre; that he would sacrifice not a little property to the fond idea of first exhibiting to the pure unprejudiced minds of the Bostonians, such a school of morality and patriotism, as the Theatres of the old world have never afforded—and Providence seldom sends a person into the world with an inclination to attempt great things, without a capacity equal to the performance of them. But poor Henry is gone! and left many behind to regret his loss! [Col. Centinel.]
PHILADELPHIA,
DECEMBER 3.
From a Correspondent.
The boast of some of our public men is this—they have not voted in favor of any one principal measure of the government since it was adopted. That is said to be an old and successful trick to save popularity. If the measure is liked, nobody cares who voted against it. If there is a clamor, cunning exclaims I did not do it. What a stock of merit certain patriots have laid up in the journals!
The following article is translated from a Hamburg paper of Sept. 23, with which we were favoured last evening. [Aurora.]

[VERBATIM.]
Canningburgh 28 July 1794—
Sir, Having had suspicions that the Pittsburgh post would carry with him the sentiments of some of the people of this country, respecting our present alarming situation and the letters by the post being now in our possession by which certain secrets are discovered before our interest. It is therefore now come to that crisis that every citizen must express his sentiments not by his words but by his actions—Your then called upon as a citizen of the western country to render your personal service with as many volunteers as you can raise to rendezvous at your usual place of meeting on Wednesday next. And from thence you will march to the General rendezvous at Bradock's field on the Monongahela River on Friday the first day of August next to be there at 9 o'clock P. M. with arms and accoutrements in good order. If any volunteer should want arms and accoutrements bring them forward, and they shall be supplied as well as possible. Here Sir is an expedition purposed in which you will have an opportunity of displaying your military talents and of rendering services to your country. Four days provisions will be wanted let the men be thus supplied—
 We are &c  JNO CANNON  B. PARKISON  D. BRADFORD  A. FULTON  THOMAS SPEARE  JNO LOUGHTY  JAMES MARSHALL—  with others not present 
Dr. Sir,
Upon receiving some late Intelligence from our runners we have been informed the ammunition we were about to seize and put into the hands of the citizens is designed for Genl. Scott who is just going out against the Indians we therefore conclude not to touch it—
I give you this early notice that your brave sons of war need not to turn out till further notice
Yours &c DAVID BRADFORD 3-th July 1794—
Died the 26th ultimo, after a lingering indisposition, which he bore with christian fortitude and was interred the 27th, attended by a respectable number of citizens, Mr. JOHN BOWEN, of the parish of Vere, in the island of Jamaica—a gentleman universally respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
To Colonel William M'Pheron, commanding the Infantry, and Captain John Dunlap, commanding the Cavalry, of the advanced Corps of the right wing of the Militia Army. Gentlemen.
In the hurry of making the arrangements at Pittsburgh, for the march of the advanced Corps of the right wing it became impracticable to communicate to you the General Orders of the 18th instant.—A copy of them is now enclosed, and you will of course, acquaint your respective Commands, with the sentiments of our worthy Commander in Chief, respecting their and their fellow-soldiers patriotic conduct in supporting the laws and the Constitution and the happiness of their Country.
Whilst you are discharging this duty, I request you will likewise express to them my high satisfaction with their soldier like deportment during the whole time I had the honour to command them—while I live, I shall recollect with pleasure the fortitude and patience with which they endured the severe toils and hardships of the Campaign, and the promptitude with which they obeyed every order. To my latest breath, I shall keep in my mind with the liveliest sensibility, the remembrance of their politeness and attention to me on every occasion.
I am, Gentlemen, with sentiments of pure regard, your most obedient and very humble servant, FRED. FRELINGHUYSEN. Bedford, Nov. 23d, 1794.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. September 10. Giraud, in a long and very eloquent harangue, insisted on the glory of educating
a whole nation, so as to render them worthy of liberty. France, he observed, at this present moment was elevated to the very pinnacle of earthly splendor; the eyes of mankind were fixed upon her delinies, and fourteen centuries of ignorance, degradation and slavery were now effaced. The slaves of despotism had been struck with a mortal terror; a protecting divinity had elevated her empire on the smoking ruins of a throne and on the bloody remnants of expiring factions.
"Mandatories of a generous nation, let us consecrate a durable monument to the rising generation; the Areopagus of Europe, ought now to consolidate the majesty of our immortal revolution, by the indestructable basis of public instruction."
"Before we abandon the helm of public affairs, let us announce to our constituents with a true republican boldness—to France, and to all Europe, that we contemplate with enthusiasm one inviolable maxim; without public education the empire of morals must be destroyed."
"And if the fury of new Vandals shall aim at the destruction of the Republic; if the dread of this horrible calamity diffuses consternation among the passionate friends of liberty; but I here pause, and consign my reflections to virtue, to the principles of the French Senate, to the cogitations of the learned, and to the meditation of philosophy."
Mr. Giraud concluded by proposing that after the 10th Vendemaire, in the 3d year of the Republic, three days shall be dedicated in every decade to public instruction.
The Assembly ordered this speech to be printed, and referred to the Committee of Public Instruction.
Genissieux remarked, that a gross abuse had crept into the Courts of Justice; they now granted delays to debtors, which had a near resemblance to letters of respite, under the old Government.
INSTRUMENT OF TORTURE.
The Representatives of the People in the North sent from Brussels the infernal machine that their enemies had contrived, with which to destroy Drouet by Hunger and Thirst. He owed his life to the humanity alone of an old man, burthened with ten children, who constantly conveyed to him nutriment.
Upon the proposition of Sergeant the Assembly decreed, that this instrument of the barbarity of Despots should be placed at the feet of the statue of Liberty, upon the place of the Revolution, and that below it should be this inscription—
Behold the Blessing of Despots!

CONGRESS
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Tuesday December 2.
After reading several private petitions and a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, notifying the House of his intention to resign his office on the last day of January next, The House went into a Committee of the whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair and took up the bill providing Co-pensation for the militia when called into the actual service of the United States. The Committee made further progress in the discussion of this bill but rose and reported, with finishing it.
The House proceeded in reading communications from the executive till the time of adjournment.
Wednesday, December 3.
Mr. W. Smith, after some introductory remarks on the important services rendered to their Country by the Legion of the United States, and the Militia commanded by General Scott, all under the orders of General Wayne—moved three resolutions of thanks; the first to General Wayne, the second to the Officers and privates of the Legion; the third to General Scott and the Volunteers under his command.
Mr. Smith enforced the propriety of passing these resolutions—inasmuch as the late important successes of the army are the first that have been experienced in the war with the hostile Indian Tribes—he was particularly induced to bring forward the resolutions, as the late very signal advantages opened the fairest prospect of a lasting peace with those tribes.
Mr. Smith adverted in the course of his observations to the diligence and attention of General Wayne to disciplining his army for the service on which they were employed—a circumstance which he thought merited particular notice and approbation.
Mr. Giles offered some objections to the mode proposed by the resolutions; he considered it as a novelty in the transactions of the house, and might lead to consequences not at present contemplated. He was against an immediate attention to the subject; wished the resolutions should lie on the table; or if not, be referred to the committee of the whole house.
Mr. Smith supported the resolutions on the ground of propriety, and as consonant to the proceedings of the house. He adverted to the vote of opinion in the case of the French constitution, and also on the death of Dr. Franklin.
Mr. Sherburne and Mr. Dearborn severally suggested the propriety of deferring a decision.
Mr. Smith withdrew the resolutions; and gave notice that he should bring them forward again to morrow.
Mr. Murray moved a vote of thanks to the militia who have lately been called out in support of the laws of the United States, this was laid on the table till to morrow—a resolution respecting compensation to the individuals who have been personal sufferers in the late insurrection was called up—and being read, was referred to the committee of the whole house to morrow.
A message was received from the President of the United States, communicating a statement of the expenditures from the sum of ten thousand dollars appropriated to defray the contingent expenses of government—also informing the house that the President had this day approved and signed the act, granting the privilege of franking, to James White, delegate from the South Western Territory of the United States, and providing for his compensation.
On motion of Mr. Lee, a report of the Secretary of war on sixty petitions from invalids made during the last session, was taken into consideration.
Several of the cases were discussed, and finally referred to the committee of claims.
The House then in committee of the whole took up the militia compensation bill—in the discussion of which further progress was reported.

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents.
[The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artful and affecting; the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for so many errors, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. "The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English wings, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced."
"In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive." EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind."

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient subscription is taken place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's:
The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was retold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14 and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1 to 2, &c.
A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but indeed there are, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will be found in the number of those who, being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and for the regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
