CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Friday, May 27.
A message was received from the President of the United States, informing the house, that he had approved and signed an act altering the time of holding the District Courts in the State of Vermont and Rhode Island, an act relative to quarantine; an act for establishing new ports of entry, &c. and an act altering the compensation of the accountant of the War Department.
A message was received from the President informing the house that the President had approved and signed an act originating in their house respecting the mint.
Messrs. Thatcher and Van Alen presented petitions in favor of the British treaty.
The bill providing passports for ships and vessels of the United States, was read the third time and passed.
A bill from the Senate for laying out into one State the whole of the territory south of the river Ohio, ceded by North Carolina to the United States was read the first time.
Mr. Macon moved to reject this bill, as being predicated on directly opposite ground from that on which the house had come to a resolution to admit the South Western Territory as a state into the union. This called forth considerable debate; but those who were averse to the bill, expressing a wish that the bill might have a second reading, in order to be disposed of, the motion of rejection was put and lost; when, on motion of Mr. Giles, the bill together with the message of the President relative to this subject, and the resolution entered into by that house, were ordered to be referred to a select committee of five members.
Mr. W. Smith from the committee appointed to confer with the Senate on the subject of their disagreement on the bill regulating the compensation of clerks, reported that the committee on the part of that house had receded from their amendment, (which was to allow a hundred dollars a year to each of the clerks in the office of the Secretary of the Senate, and Clerk of the house of Representatives as may be employed the whole year.) The house agreed to the report.
Mr. W. Smith also said, that the Committee of Ways and Means had directed him to report the following resolution to the consideration of the house:
Resolved that provision ought to be made for the appointment of an agent or commissioner to superintend the foreign expenditures of the United States, if the President of the United States shall find it necessary to employ such agent or commissioner. This motion occasioned considerable debate. It was asserted in support of it, that the Secretary of the Treasury had stated that such an agent was necessary to transact our money concerns in Holland, which was at present done by merchants residing there, who had an interest opposite to that of the United States. It was on the contrary urged, that if such an agent was sent to Holland, he would still have to employ merchants to transact a business with which he would be totally unacquainted; that it was the interest of such an agent as much as it was now the interest of the Dutch merchants to keep up the foreign debt (contrary to the wish of government who were desirous of changing their foreign to domestic debt) because when it was done away his office would cease; and that our minister at the Hague might as well transact the business with the merchants at Amsterdam, as any person sent for the express purpose.
The motion was negatived; and then Mr. Macon moved that the farther consideration of this question should be postponed till the first of December next, which was carried by the yeas and nays being taken (on motion of Mr. W. Smith) as follows:
   YEAS. NAYS.     Messrs. Bailey, Messrs. Blount,   Baldwin, Bourne,   Benton, Bradbury,   Bryan, Brent,   Cabell, Cot,   Claiborne, Cooper,   Coles, Dent,   Crabb, A. Foster,   Earle, D.

Sprigg, Van Cortlandt,   Swanwick, Wadsworth,   Swift, 35.   Tatom,   Venable,   Williams,   Winn—40.  
On motion of Mr. Christie, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for the relief of John Sears which they agreed to. It was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to day; which it afterwards received and passed.
On motion of Mr. W. Smith, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the committee of ways and means relative
to appropriations for the military and naval establishments, and for the payment of military pensions, and came to the following resolution.
Resolved, that there ought to be appropriated for the year 1796, for the military establishment including the sum already appropriated by law, during the present year dollars; for the naval department, dollars; and for the military pensions, dollars."
The house agreed to the resolution, and the committee of ways and means were directed to bring in accordingly.
The house took up the consideration of the report of the committee of elections on the petition of Matthew Lyon, complaining of an undue election and return of Israel Smith; and the chairman of the committee offering a resolution to the house, clearing the election void, on motion the decision of the house was postponed till to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Claiborne, the house formed itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the committee of claims on the petition of Aimey Dardin, who prayed for compensation for a very valuable horse which had been impressed during the war. The report was against the petitioner, on the ground of the act of limitation barring the claim. The case appeared a hard one, as a widow and orphans were in want of the money; and several members having suggested that application had been made before the act of limitation took place, proof of which could be substantiated, the committee rose, and the papers were re-committed to the committee of claims.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill to satisfy the claim of Baron Steuben, which having agreed to, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow. Adjourned.
From a late London paper.
POLITICS WITH NAPLES,
[Extracted from the French Journal l'Ami des Loix.]
The kingdom of Naples is the most considerable and powerful state in Italy, and, comprising Sicily, has nearly six millions of inhabitants, thirty four millions of livres of revenue, thirty thousand soldiers, a marine force of twelve sail of the line or frigates, and a very active commerce. The circumference of the kingdom is about 1400 Italian miles—to that it has more than 400 leagues of coast, which is protected by twenty fortified places, and 300-redoubts disposed at equal distances upon the shore where a descent might be attempted; thus the country can with ease be defended.
The city of Naples, 350 leagues distant from Paris contains nearly four hundred thousand souls; the port is small, but the road is very good. It can hold four three deckers, and twenty frigates, or tartans. Trade, the military service, and public worship are almost all in the hands of foreigners; the mass of the people, furnished the Lazzaroni, is estimated at 50,000, all devoted to those who pay them; more than once have they shook the Throne. The Commercial productions of Naples consist in essences, soaps, artificial flowers, confectionary, dried fishes, catgut, vermicelli, silks, and Spanish stuff.
Sicily is justly called the granary of Italy; it is sixty miles long, and forty broad; contains a million of inhabitants, and several commodious ports. It produces corn in great abundance, and excellent wines; its principal traffic consists in silk, honey, wax, sugar and wool; there are gold, silver, and iron mines, precious stones of all kinds, and very fine coral is caught on the coast.
Naples and Sicily would be the most delightful places of abode in the world, if they were not continually threatened by earthquakes, and the fatal eruptions of Vesuvius and Ætna.
The king of Naples is so influenced by his wife, sister to Marie Antoinette and Joseph the 2d, that he knows no other interests than those of Austria. He would never accede to the Family Compact; and he prefers incurring the displeasure of the king of Spain, his father, by preserving his Prime Minister, Acton, the sworn enemy of France and Spain, and so attached to the Imperial and British Courts, that he has induced the King to grant them free admission into all his ports, and to furnish them daily with all possible assistance in troops money, and provisions. He is one of our most bitter enemies.
In this state of things what ought France to do?
She ought to unite with the king of Spain, now become her friend and ally, to force the King of Naples to throw off the Austrian yoke; to engage the queen to confine herself to the care and education of her children; to dismiss the Minister, Acton; to replace him by a Spanish minister; and finally, to make a common cause with the French Republic, Spain and Sardinia. These four powers actuated by the same spirit and will, would acquire that consequence, credit and pre eminence that are due to them."
AN IRISH LEGACY.
On the 1st inst. Lord Viscount O'Neil presented a petition to the House of Lords, Ireland, from the trustees of Mr. Hutchinson, of the Inner Temple, praying to have a bill for regulating the trusts reposed in them. The following singular circumstances were stated by the Lord Chancellor:
Mr. Hutchinson had bequeathed fifteen thousand pounds to purchase an estate, from the issue of which his relations of every the most remote degree, were to have annuities; the lowest five, and the highest ten pounds. A Master in Chancery was authorised to call upon the claimants by a public advertisement, to produce their claims, which he did; and a northern attorney published, at the same time, an advertisement in a Belfast newspaper, offering, for a shilling each, to establish a right of inheritance. The consequence was, that there were sixteen thousand claimants of five and ten pounds annual produce; and the Master in Chancery applied to the Lord Chancellor to make such a partition, which not being possible, he had recommended an application to the legislature. The principal object of the bill was to limit the right of
inheritance to the sixth degree of affinity, which was the limitation of the canon law.
ANECDOTE.
A merchant of Liverpool, in the reign of James I. having a demand on the king of Spain, for some damages which he had sustained by one of the Spanish men of war; and not having any other means of procuring redress, according to the advice of his counsel, proceeded against his majesty in Westminster Hall, where, for want of an appearance, the king was after some process outlawed; whereupon Gondemar, the Spanish ambassador immediately paid the money; the king, his master, having at that time several suits against the English merchants depending, he could not during the outlawry, proceed as plaintiff.
Interesting particulars of Madame LA FAYETTE.
A little work by a M. Marchena, lately published in Germany, under the title of "Quelques Reflexions sur les Fugitifs Francais," has produced a very considerable sensation. It is spoken of by M. Archenholz, the author of Minerva, with high praise. After making a very just distinction between those emigrants, who, animated by foolish ambition, and blind attachment to the ancient system, fled only to fir up foreign powers against their native land, and those men who fled only to save themselves from the horrors of the mountain, he makes a very sensible reflection on the present posture of things:
"In the mean time the war against France, continues without interruption. The united powers persist in their projects against the French revolution; some of its first and most illustrious authors still groan in the prisons of Olmutz; and it appears by their long and cruel captivity, that their oppressors still wish to wage war against liberty, while the king of Prussia, brought back to justice by the voice of true policy, has delivered one of these interesting victims, Alexander Lameth. The narrow limits of German liberty (says M. Archenholz) restrain me from saying all that I feel upon the subject; but there is one fact which I ought to reveal for the sake of every feeling heart:
The journey of Madame de la Fayette to Vienna, was mentioned in the journals in the month of October last. The Emperor gave her a kind reception, and permitted her to go to Olmutz, to attend her husband and to soften his doom. She flew thither, and arrived with her two daughters, the one 18, the other 16 years of age. They were all searched with the most scrupulous care, and then thrown, as if they had been malefactors into the depth of the dungeon, where M. de la Fayette was immured; and, from that moment to the present, the fate of that unhappy man has been theirs deprived of exercise, of air, of all communication with the living, this virtuous lady and her two beautiful daughters find the same horrors in Germany, which they suffered under the irons of the Jacobins in France! What a fate is theirs! Madame de la Fayette, after 18 months of the most cruel imprisonment in Paris; after having by a miracle escaped the scaffold upon which all her family were immolated, the traverses the sea to Hamburgh, arrives at Vienna, is favourably received by the Emperor, received by the Emperor, flies to his protection to Olmutz, and finds herself plunged to the bottom of a dungeon!
Surely this must be without the knowledge of the Emperor: but this act of barbarity is committed under the name of a prince with the warm affections of a youth, and who enjoys the character of humanity!"
The German writer concludes with a generous sentiment: "How dismal, then, is the destiny of sovereigns! they are always deceived! The great talents, and the genius even of the Great Frederick himself, which embraced every thing, could not protect him against this unhappy lot, necessarily common to all kings."
LITERATURE.
OF CHARLES FOX.
From Gibbon's Miscellaneous Works.
The Man of the People escaped from the tumult, the bloody tumult of the Westminster election, to the lakes and mountains of Switzerland, and I was informed that he was arrived at the Lyonn d'Or. I sent a compliment, he answered it in person, and settled at my house for the remainder of the day. I have eat, and drank, and conversed, and sat up all night with Fox in England; but it never has happened, perhaps it never can happen again, that I should enjoy him as I did that day, alone, from ten in the morning till ten at night. Our conversation never flagged a moment; and he seemed thoroughly pleased with the place and with his company. We had little politics; though he gave me, in a few words, such a character of Pitt, as one great man should give of another his rival; much of books, from my own, on which he flattered me very pleasantly to Homer and the Arabian Nights: much about the country, my garden (which he understands far better than I do) and upon the whole, I think he envies me, and would do so were he minister. The next morning I gave him a guide to walk him about the town and country, and invited some company to meet him at dinner. The following day he continued his journey to Bern and Zurich, and I have heard of him by various means. The people gaze on him as a prodigy, and he shews little inclination to converse with them." Vol. I. p. 192.
Mara has given her husband 500l. to be finally off. How many of the married of both sexes would rejoice to make such a bargain!
The French Government have adopted the most effectual mode to make their troops celebrate the anniversary of their murdered Sovereign; by giving them on that day meat with their bread, and allowing each soldier 50 sous in specie.
Mr. Jennings, of Suffolk, is thought to be the richest capitalist in England. He has an annuity of 40,000l. a year in one Fund only. The three per cents.
Reynolds, the Dramatist, is already at work again, animated by the success of his friend Morton's Way to Get Married. Reynolds, however, does

not mean to offer his piece this season, but to finish it as soon as he can, and take the summer to re-touch it. There will, of course, be proper space for the reception of such allusions as current events may supply; for the tale of the public, at present, requires a touch at the times, rather than a portrait of human life in all ages.
The Edinburgh Review, Mr. Johnstone, is soon to a hair dresser there of the same name. He is said to possess uncommon talents.
When application was a few years since made to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, to obtain permission for Mrs. Clive, the Actress, being buried in the Abbey, one of the Prebends said, he had made no objection to burying Garrick and Henderson in Poets' Corner, because each of them had talents independent of their profession, nor did he see any particular objection to allow the same privilege to Mrs. Clive; "but," added he, "if we do not draw some line in this Theatrical ambition for mortality fame, we shall very soon make Westminster Abbey a kind of Gothic Green-room!"
Our amiable Princess Royal is not in such a hurry to change her condition, as some well-informed prints would endeavour to make us believe. Her gracious denial to the despairing Duke, might be given in Rochester's reply for Charles the Second:—
"The Princess having no need, Thanks you as much as if she did."

NEWBEDFORD, May 13.
We have been favored with the following copy of a letter from the Selectmen of Nantucket, to the Hon. Mr. Freeman, Representative from this district, in the Congress of the United States, and his answer thereto, which we doubt not will give satisfaction to his Constituents.
Nantucket, May 1, 1796.
NATH'L FREEMAN, jun. Esq. Boston. AS part of your immediate constituents, we take leave to address you, and observe, that when the Treaty between Great Britain and the United States, was ratified by the constituted authorities of the government, and had become the supreme law of the land, we conceived it to be for the honor of government, and the general interest of the nation, that the requisite provision should be made by the Representative Body of the Union, for carrying said Treaty into effect:—But on information recently received, they cannot but be very seriously alarmed, from an apprehension that their expectations may be disappointed, and that the disturbance of our national peace may eventually lead to the calamities and miseries of WAR, in which we conceive (as a town) our ruin involved.
Under these impressions, they feel a strong desire that you would proceed as soon as may be to Congress, not doubting your aid in endeavoring to prevent the evils which are of so fearful an aspect, and for preserving that Faith and Honor which are so important to a rising Nation.
We lament with you, the unhappy cause of your absence at this critical juncture, and that Health may again be restored to your family, is our sincere wish.
We are, with sentiments of respect, For and in behalf of the town of Nantucket, Obed Hussey, } Christo. Mitchell, } William Coffin, } Selectmen of Nantucket. Zaccheus Hussey, } William Hammatt, } John Pickham. }
P. S. We take leave to inform you we have sent forward a Memorial to Congress, and by reason of your absence is addressed to B. Goodhue, Esq. we hope, however, he will ere long have your support.
At a legal Town-Meeting of the Merchants, Traders Mechanics, and other Citizens of the town of Nantucket, this 30th day of April, A. D. 1796.
Voted, unanimously, That the Letter presented to the Town, addressed to Nathaniel Freeman, jun. Esq. Representative of this District in the Congress of the United States, be signed by the Selectmen, and forwarded as soon as may be.
A True Copy from the Town Record. (Attest) JAMES COFFIN, Town Clerk."
MR. FREEMAN'S ANSWER.
Boston, May 6, 1796.
To the Selectmen of Nantucket.
Gentlemen,
I THIS day received your favor of the 1st inst. expressing the opinion of the inhabitants of Nantucket, that the requisite provisions for carrying the Treaty with Great Britain into effect, ought to be made by the Representatives of the Union; and their wishes that I should return to Philadelphia, to lend my aid in effecting this object.
Such is the situation of the District which I more immediately represent, so interlaced are the inhabitants by their navigation and fisheries, in the preservation of Peace, that local as well as national considerations, will ever compel me to pursue such measures as may most conduce to secure this important blessing.—Nothing but the most pressing and urgent calls, could have induced me at this period to abandon my post.—But the same circumstances which brought me here, now forbid my return to Philadelphia.
It appears by the last information from Congress, that in a committee of the whole house, a resolution passed by a majority of one, in favor of carrying the Treaty with Great Britain into effect. I have no doubt in my own mind, that this resolution will be finally adopted in the house. Under these circumstances, and with this impression, your humanity will plead my apology for not returning to Congress at this time. If any future exigency should make a single vote necessary, I shall receive regular information of it by the mail, and no private consideration shall prevent a faithful discharge of public duty.
I beg leave, Gentlemen, through you to tender my grateful acknowledgments to the inhabitants of Nantucket, for the sympathy you express on their behalf, in the unhappy occasion which called me from Philadelphia, and for their good wishes that health may be restored to my family.—They will please to accept in return my regards, and warmest wishes for the prosperity of Nantucket.
I am, Gentlemen, With great respect, Your humble Servt, NATHANIEL FREEMAN, jun."
P. S. I omitted to mention above, that last Saturday was assigned for taking up the resolution in the house—I could not therefore probably arrive at Philadelphia early enough to take a part in this business."
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES!
At a meeting of the Field and Commissioned Officers of the 2d Reg. of the 2d Brig. and 5th Div. the 4th inst. the critical situation of our political affairs was candidly considered; when the following Resolves were unanimously passed:
Resolved, That as American citizens, we feel ourselves bound to support the constituted authorities of the United States, if need be at the risk of our lives and property, so long as they adhere to the Constitution of the land.
Resolved, That as Freemen we will with our swords support the Constitution and the power regulated thereby, against every encroachment of the ambitious and designing, when called upon so to do by the proper authority, or driven by necessity to the disagreeable alternative.
True Copy from Record. J. SPOONER, Adj.
CHARLESTON, May 3.
The following was related by a lieutenant, who was on board one of the ships which attacked Leogane—delivered to a gentleman in Kingstow, where the several ships of war who went on that expedition were repairing.
The Raisonable, Leviathan, Africa and Severn, went again the fort and continued 4 hours and a half—the Leviathan, alone consumed 264 barrels of gun-powder; she had ten men killed, besides wounded; there was only 18 guns on the fort.
On the approach of the British, the French commander hoisted the bloody flag under the national colours, and the republicans behaved with the most undaunted courage during the fire, which was tremendous.
The English lost in the attack, by sea and land, about 700 men killed and wounded, the French, it was reported, only 15. It was found necessary for the ships to cut cables and bear away.
SPRINGFIELD, (Mass.) May 24.
We are requested by a correspondent to extract from the Philadelphia Aurora, the following paragraph, and to infer the subsequent remarks thereon:
Philadelphia, May 12.
By our last Boston accounts to the 5th May, it appears, that the Republican Candidate for the Governorship of Massachusetts, keeps a head of his opponent."
The above is one proof, in confirmation of a thousand others, how little the Jacobins concur in sentiment with The People. Lately, the Aurora assured us that the votes for Governor Adams were the result of the Anti-Treaty spirit of Massachusetts. But the citizens of Massachusetts have clearly concluded that story—as with one mind, and one voice, they call for its faithful execution. The fact is certain, and the Aurora is challenged to deny it.—Governor Adams is the known enemy of the Treaty—Anti federal from the day the Constitution was published, and probably long before. His letter to the incendiary Genet, giving him aid, comfort and counsel; and his late address to the legislature of the state, put it beyond doubt that his principles and politics are in direct opposition to the citizens of the state.—That address was calculated and intended to kindle a war of remonstrances of the state governments against the Treaty, and had it succeeded, no doubt the Virginia amendments, so truly anti-republican and anarchical in their principle and tendency (as can be demonstrated) would have prevailed, and the treaty would have failed. The dreadful consequences of its failure are obvious, and the people understand them.
The citizens of Massachusetts were in a calm and unruffled temper on the first Monday in April, and voted for their old Governor, not for a liking they had for his politics (the event has proved they do not like them) but from their unwillingness to dismiss him to private life, which would have the appearance of harshness and disrespect; and because they did not see any great harm his malevolent principles could do. But no sooner had they given their votes, than the conspirators against the peace, the faith, and the honor of their country, took encouragement, and a great deal of encouragement from it; and went on in their schemes, expecting that the steady farmers of Massachusetts would uphold them in their plans. These schemes were pursued almost to their dreadful consummation of war and disgrace.—Thus we see how the votes have operated to mislead the public opinion, in regard to Massachusetts' federalism; and how necessary it is for the people, if they would support their government, to entrust no department of it to an implacable opposer of its principles and measures, of the enemy of its illustrious head, the great WASHINGTON.
We may also see by the above paragraph from the Aurora, how impudently the word Republican is applied to a man, whose system of opinions is now ascertained to be obnoxious to ninety-nine hundredths of the state. If the one hundredth part are the only republicans, what are the rest? It is a pleasant article for a newspaper, that the People are not Republicans. If the election had been six weeks later, when the enlightened body of Farmers were roused, not as the Aurora presumes to suggest, the silly dupes of an alarm about war, but the real People saw the danger, if the election for Governor had been at that period, no doubt the question of Treaty and Anti-Treaty, would have been more considered than it was—We do not scruple to avow the decided belief, that Judge SUMNER would have been chosen Governor.
WASHINGTON, (Penn.) May 17.
The usual monthly meeting of the Rev. Mr. McMillan's congregation at Canonsburgh, for social and public worship, was on Thursday last, the 12th inst.
After the religious service of the day was over, Mr. McMillan intimated, that business, of a public nature and great importance, required the consideration of the meeting, and he therefore requested that the men would remain.
All did, and Mr. McMillan having been chosen Chairman, and Craig Ritchie, Esq. Secretary:—The present critical state of this country, and the danger of an Indian and perhaps a British war, with national disgrace, expence and calumny, was taken into view.
Whereupon, it was resolved unanimously, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the interests of this country require, that the British Treaty should be carried into execution with good faith.
Resolved unanimously, That a petition be circulated and signed, and sent to the House of Representatives to this effect.
Resolved unanimously, That the following petition be adopted.
To the honorable the House of Representatives of the United States, the petition of sundry inhabitants of the Western counties of Pennsylvania Humbly sheweth,
Having lately, with great cordiality and good intentions, very generally united in a petition, that the House of Representatives would concur in the execution of the British Treaty, we had believed, that no further expressions of our wishes would be necessary. But it having been suggested, that the Spanish Treaty was the main object of our petition, and that we were indifferent as to the British Treaty; and seeing our apprehensions, that the British Treaty might be defeated, were but too well grounded, and are not yet removed; we feel ourselves constrained, by a regard both to safety and duty, again to address your honorable house.
We consider the British Treaty as peculiarly advantageous to us, and essential to our enjoying the blessings of security and peace. Its ratification made it a solemn national act, according to the terms of the constitution, binding the people, and every branch of the government. And we consider its execution as necessary for public faith, which we regard, interest, which we pursue, and peace, which we cherish.
We therefore pray, that the House of Representatives will concur with the other branches of our government, in a full and faithful execution of the Treaty between the United States and Britain."
And this petition having been signed by all present, it was Resolved, that the Chairman be requested to write to his brethren, the ministers on this side of the mountains, requesting them to call their congregations, as soon as possible on some week day, and take their sentiments on this interesting subject.
JOHN McMILLAN, Chairman.
Philadelphia, SATURDAY EVENING, May 28, 1796.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in this city.
How comes on the Philadelphia penitentiary house? I see the success of the plan highly spoken of in the governor's address to the Legislature, which gives me sincere and lively pleasure—I rejoice to find that the attention of Congress has been drawn to the subject, that there is a prospect of their penal code being ameliorated and of the same respect being paid in the laws of the union, to the preservation of life, and the prevention of crimes, as in the laws of individual states. What a reflection it is on the humanity, nay, indeed on the wisdom and policy of the rulers of states and nations that so little attention should have been given, and such faint exertions made, to reform rather than to extirpate, to reclaim rather than punish. I most ardently hope, that we may both live to see the day (and that at no remote period) when by the diffusion of knowledge, the increasing influence of the most liberal philanthropy, but more especially by a true understanding and practice of genuine unadulterated christianity, man may learn to love and do good to his fellowman, and the punishment of death be forever abolished.
Convinced as I am, that society has no right to take away the life of any citizen, I am also convinced, that the period is rapidly approaching, when governments will think it as impolitic as it is wrong to exercise this assumed power."
Extract of a letter from Governor SEVIER, dated Knoxville, April 30, to Wm. Cocke, Esq. Philadelphia.
Since my last of the 25th, I have received information that a John Bird, Robert Henderson and John Phillips, as they were hunting horses (thought to be stolen) near the head of the West Branch of Little Pidgeon, were fired on by a party of ten or twelve Indians. Several balls passed through their cloaths, but did no other damage. They returned the fire, killed one fellow on the spot, and wounded as they suppose another."
The Lexington (Kentucky) paper of 23d April, says, that a person from Nashville informs, that between the 20th and 30th of March, the Indians killed a family between the mouth of the
Ohio and Illinois, consisting of 12 persons—and that the informant says he saw 10 of the dead bodies.—[It is rather singular that this story, if true, should not have been known at Knoxville, on the 30th April.]
The above articles, it is presumed, furnish no very solid reasons for diminishing the military force on the Frontiers.

HANOVER, (N. H.) May 16.
Friday last, the Citizens of this Vicinity assembled for a celebration in consequence of the appropriation News, brought by Mr. Buck, who arrived on the Stage on Thursday evening, where he found a most cordial reception.
While Mr. Buck was in town he was presented with the following address:
To DANIEL BUCK, Esq.
Sir, Impressed, as we are, with a lively sense of your early services in the cause of our country, grateful as we must be for your late exertions in defence of our constitution, and happy, indeed, as we are, to embrace you, at your return, we cannot, suppress our feelings, on this joyful occasion.
Though we are not among the number of your Constituents, though your place of residence is separated from ours, by the banks of a fertilizing stream, and the boundary lines of a sister State, yet, as a neighbour, a patriot, and friend, we bid you a most cordial welcome.
Though remote from the seat of government, as we have not been disinterested, so we have not been indifferent spectators, of its labors and toils.
We are attached to our Federal Constitution, and cheerfully submit to its constituted authorities; we love the President, we venerate the public faith, and we have beheld with indignation and regret, the menaces to the one and the jeopardy to the other: but patriotism has at length prevailed, the hopes of Disorganizers are baffled, our Constitution, the sacred Palladium of our liberties, remains inviolate, and we, with the Citizens in this quarter of the Union, rest gratefully satisfied.
On this glorious event, the inhabitants of this vicinity beg leave to congratulate you!
You were our war-worn Soldier in the battles we fought for Freedom; under the mild reign of Peace, you have been appointed to guard the acquisition; and we rejoice, that in the discharge of this last duty, you have enjoyed a triumph without a Sacrifice; that you bring back with your laurels the limbs, which the sword of war had spared unmaimed in the conflict with faction.
Accept, Sir, on your return to the bosom of your family and friends, the best reward which we can give, or you receive—the heartfelt applauses of your Fellow Citizens.
May you long live—may your patriotic exertions continue to be successful, and the memory of your signal sacrifice be indelibly engraven in the breast of a grateful country.
Signed in behalf of the Inhabitants of this Vicinity.
B. WOODWARD, Chairman.
By Order, Attest, J. DUNHAM, Clerk.
Hanover, May 13, 1796.
To which he returned the following answer: CITIZENS OF HANOVER,
Language is too feeble to express the lively sensations I feel from the sentiments expressed towards me in your cordial address, signed by the Hon. B. Woodward, Esq. in your behalf, and this day presented me. Accept, therefore, the silent but grateful emotions of my heart, as the only adequate return in my power to make.
I participate with you, in your attachment to the Federal Constitution, to the constituted authorities, love to the President, and veneration for the public faith; and, while I sincerely regret the unhappy contest, which has so long occupied Congress (and, I fear, in some degree, sullied our national character) I join with you, in mutual congratulations, that it has terminated in a manner which unfolds to the patriotic mind, prospects more pleasing in future.
Your applause, and that of the rest of my fellow citizens, joined to fellow citizens, joined to a consciousness of having acted with uprightness of intention, is truly the best reward, which can be given or enjoyed. Be assured that my best endeavors shall never be wanting to insure that prize. D. BUCK.
Hanover, 13th May, 1796.
When he left the place, he was escorted to the River by Capt. Brigham's company in complete uniform, the members of College, and the principal Gentlemen of this Vicinity.
On the other bank of the River in Norwich, he was met by his friends and neighbours, and conducted to his seat. Such a reception the partisans of faction may look for in vain!
A civic feast was then prepared at Graves's Hall, where the principal Gentlemen of the place attended.

Pennsylvania, ss.
By THOMAS MIFFLIN,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the General Assembly did, on the fourth day of April last, resolve, "That the Governor be requested to issue a proclamation, reciting the act entitled "an act to prevent intrusions on lands, within the counties of Northampton, Northumberland and Luzerne," and enjoining obedience to the same; and that he be forthwith requested to cause the same to be published in the newspapers of the states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts: and whereas the act, in the said resolution referred to is expressed in the following words:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That if any person shall, after the passing of this act, take possession of, enter, intrude or settle on any lands within the limits of the counties of Northampton, Northumberland, or Luzerne, by virtue or under colour of any conveyance of half share right, or any other pretended title not derived from the authority of this commonwealth, or of the late proprietaries of Pennsylvania before the Revolution, such person, upon being duly convicted thereof, upon indictment in any court of oyer and terminer, or court of general quarter sessions, to be held in the proper county, shall forfeit and pay the sum of two hundred dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer, and shall also be subject to such imprisonment, not exceeding twelve months, as the court before whom such conviction is had may in their discretion direct.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every person who shall combine, or conspire for the purpose of conveying, possessing or settling on any lands within the limits aforesaid, under any half share right or pretended title as aforesaid, or for the purpose of laying out townships by persons not appointed or acknowledged by the laws of this commonwealth, and every person that shall be accessory thereto, before or after the fact, shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay a sum not less than five hundred, nor more than one thousand dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer; and shall also be subject to such imprisonment as hard labour, not exceeding eighteen months, as the court in their discretion may direct.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the court wherein any such conviction shall have been had, shall issue their writ to the sheriff of the county wherein the said offence has been committed, or the said conviction had, or if the said court shall be of opinion that the sheriff or coroner are not impartial, then to any other person or persons they may think proper, commanding him or them, together with the power of the county, if he or they should judge their assistance necessary, to proceed to the lands in question, and therefrom to expel and eject all and every the person and persons therein intruded as aforesaid; and if the said sheriff, or other person or persons appointed as aforesaid, should make return to the said writ that he or they have been unable to execute the same, by reason of the forcible resistance of the parties or any other persons, or from a just apprehension of such resistance as would render the execution thereof by himself or themselves, and the power of the county, impracticable, the prothonotary of the court to which such writ is so returned shall forthwith transmit a copy of the said writ and return, under the seal of the said court, to the governor, and if upon the said return, or if upon a certificate signed by the president, or one of the judges of the court of common pleas of the proper county, or by one of the judges of the supreme court, that the process of the court has been resisted, or that there is reason to believe that the civil authority will be incompetent to the execution of this law, the governor shall deem it expedient to order out a portion of the militia of this state to assist the civil authority in carrying into effect this act, or any part thereof: The detachments so called out shall receive the same pay and rations, and be subject to the same rules and regulations, as are provided in other cases.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if a judge of the court of quarter sessions for the proper counties, or a judge of the supreme court shall apprehend that the sheriff or coroner are not impartial, it shall and may be lawful for the said judge to direct the writ for the grand inquest, and for the traverse jury, to any person or persons he or they may think proper.
Sec. 5.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, Philadelphia, May 2, 1796.
City of Washington. SCHEME OF THE LOTTERY, No. II, FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes, Total Amount. Includes entries like 'A magnificent dwelling-house, 20,000 dollars, & 1 ditto 15,000 & cash 25,000'.
16,739 Prizes. 33,261 Blanks. 50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 400,000
N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one:
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the Scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the thor. suspension indispensable.
SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
General Post Office, Philadelphia, March 16, 1796.
