HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TUESDAY, NOV. 25.
The following message was received from the Lieutenant Governor, by the Secretary of State: To the honorable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives. Gentlemen,
AGREEABLY to the constitution of this state, its authorities are now met at the seat of government, for the dispatch of public business; but the gentleman who filled the executive office at the close of your last session is gone. Rutledge is no more! With Washington and other illustrious personages dear to America, for a series of long tried and virtuous services he hath departed. As his manners were pleasing he has been regretted; as his life was useful to humanity, he has been publicly mourned, and long, very long, I trust will his memory be held dear, to all who now enjoy, or who for ages I hope will continue to possess those blessings flowing from American Independence, which his labours, under God's providence, assisted to obtain.
In consequence of this unexpected calamity, the duties which he was entrusted to execute, constitutionally vested in me; and I was immediately notified by the Secretary of the State to enter on the same. This I was enabled to perform, as I had previously qualified before you when elected Lieutenant Governor, and in a few days after his decease, I repaired to the city of Charleston for that purpose. Here I found that the illness of the Governor had unavoidably retarded public affairs, particularly as relating to the appointment and commissioning of all public officers throughout the state; one thereof only of the new election was in commission, and all the other officers connected with the Judiciary department, required to be without delay placed in their respective stations, or, otherwise the first sittings of the courts under the late Judiciary laws could not have taken place. My endeavours to this point were, for the most part successful; and the judges of the courts of law performed their Spring Circuit, holding courts throughout the state except in some few instances, where commissions were received too late, or some error might have happened in drawing Juries.
Upon the whole, however, I congratulate you on this first commencement under the new judiciary system; and I earnestly hope, that with your support, it will be the means of justice being better administered, and of its being brought nearer the homes of the citizens of this state, than has heretofore been done. The courts of county throughout the state could not be organized, so as to enable the judges to commence their circuit at the time first contemplated in the law, as, from applications not being made for the office of commissioners in each of the courts, time was necessary for searching out suitable persons to accept appointments thereto; without which, the business of the courts could not be performed. The court of equity, however, for the districts of Charleston, Colleton, and Beaufort, held their first sittings at Charleston in May last, going through much important business; and since that time, the officers both of the courts of law and equity, have fully entered on the duties of their respective offices; evincing, that although the justice of this state may have hitherto in some respects been slow, it is nevertheless sure; and that from henceforth a bright prospect is presented before us, of suitable dispatch in legal concerns, than which nothing is more honorable to a State, or necessary for the welfare of its citizens.
While beneficial consequences result from our present judiciary system, other advantages arising therefrom are already perceived as enabling the people the better to know and support governmental authority, with all those advantages of civilization and information connected therewith. To
further this good work, permit me to invite your early attention to the education of our youth throughout the state. For as all good governments are founded on education and patriotism, so legislative attention cannot be better bestowed, than by encouraging these desirable objects. The first leads to the knowledge of one's country, her government, and to all rights incidental to her welfare; the second, originates at an early moment, that national ardor which leads to the most honorable actions, and blinds in sweet union the citizens of a state together. Hence education, combined with proper political information, and formalities, make so deep an impression on the minds of youth, that when they grow up to manhood, they are ever to be relied on in times of emergency. Foreign influence of whatever kind, will then discharge its shafts of corruption with unavailing tendency, and when strangers shall boast of the advantages or perceptions of distant countries, and shall recommend alterations in our laws and customs conformably thereto, a laudable jealousy will be excited, which will lead to cautious investigation, and will serve to bind us to our country the more. By this principle, the heroes of past times long preserved unvarnished the liberties of their respective states; and it was not until this principle was dissolved, an engine ever played off by crafty ambition, that their governments were subverted. From public schools, then, early of access to the poorest class of the community, are these national benefits to be derived; to reap these advantages, the citizens of Carolina have a claim upon your attention and generosity in behalf of their children, and I cannot recommend the institution of these public seminaries on proper principles, too much to your serious consideration.
It is a matter of national joy to find that so valuable a staple as cotton is now added to the produce of this state. Its introduction as an export, has been but of late years, but, on trial, it has been found to answer in all high land situations, and, as indigo and tobacco become in less demand, to ensure an handsome return in their room to the industry of our inhabitants. Under this influence the planting of cotton energetically both in the lower & upper parts of the state and in value it has already surpassed any of our other staples, and it this year the exports of cotton from the port of Charleston alone, amounted to six millions four hundred & sixty three pounds weight. Possessing so valuable an acquisition, it is time some Legislative measures be taken to guard against any frauds respecting it, and to ensure, as much as they be, its being sent to market in good order and condition; and I recommend such consideration to your particular attention.
With great pleasure I have also to inform you, that not only this state, but the United States, at present enjoy an interval of less foreign interruption, than has been experienced for several years past, a calm has ensued respecting ourselves, which I hope will end in universal peace; and although our Envoys to France have not yet, as far as we know officially completed the ends of their mission, this much has been effected, that our Government in them has been respected and that our armed vessels of marque, which heretofore were obliged to carry on commerce with foreign powers at a great risk and expence, now traverse the ocean from Europe to America, unarmed, bringing valuable cargoes, and protected alone by the American flag which they bear. Commerce will thereby be encouraged, and as the merchant now pays less insurance and freight, so the planters and farmers have a right to expect more for the produce of their industry.
But although their blessings at present attend us, yet ought we not by any means to be rendered thereby inattentive to those duties, which a prudent regard to our general tranquility obviously suggests, for, a becoming vigilance may prevent those dangers, which an indolent security may otherwise invite. The militia and parole laws will not therefore escape your attention, amendments to which in some respects, I am persuaded you will find necessary to make during your present session. And when I shall transmit you a return of the military stores contained in the arsenals and magazines of this state, I trust you will take measures to supply such wants therein as the public safety may require.
By the report of the comptroller of the revenue and finances of this state, which I shall have the honor of transmitting to you, you will find your expectations have been well realized, as respecting the benefits which would be derived from the establishment of that office. A new life and vigour has taken place in all departments over which its influence extended, public monies have been called in to a very large amount and thereby many debts which were precarious, or in a little time would have been lost are saved and on the first day of October last, a balance remained in the treasury for three hundred & two thousand four hundred and fifty eight dollars, 88 cents, subject to any directions you may impose. When such are the advantages which you this day possess, I cannot but draw your attention to the officer who is the head of that department, whose industry in the duties of his station have to my knowledge been indefatigable and unceasing, and whose zeal for the public service, although great, has always been guarded by the prudence and discretion, which never led him to oversleep the boundaries of law, or to swerve from what he imagined the true interest of his country.
With the means and opportunities you now possess, much may be done for the public service; much to relieve the local inconveniences under which many citizens labor at present. Various parts of the state are so far from a market, &
the expences of carriages thereto are so great, as to discourage the efforts of a well meant industry. Hence many farmers in these situations raise little more than necessary for their own consumption; they have not even an inducement to give their lands that attendance which otherwise they would be invited to perform. As opportunities permit, to open the inland navigation, to encourage the industry of individuals, & from the very mountains to lend down the produce of this state, an intimate connexion with commercial advantages, is one of the dearest privileges of legislative power; and one, which I trust you will hasten to exercise, by all constitution al means within your controul.
Intimately connected with this, are the establishment of manufactories, which, according to the objects of their institution, may either prompt the growth of articles around, which for want of demand are now raised only in small quantities, or they may encourage the growth of new articles, direct to a better husbandry, and thus afford better opportunities of comfort to the people. Should you think proper to alter our criminal code, and make it less capital, an accession of means towards the establishment of manufactories may be produced by enacting, that persons guilty of inferior crimes, be condemned for a certain term to labor therein; thus obliging them, by their services, to make some compensation to a society whom they have injured.
These, and many other blessings, may be derived from your exertions, of the opportunities you have, be industriously pursued. A certain portion of business, however, can only be performed in the short space of your customary session. The particular communications which by the constitution of this state, and my public station, I am charged to make, shall be transmitted you with all possible dispatch. And may the Great disposer of Events, direct your councils, and invigorate your measures, promoting the practice of morality, and increasing the happiness and safety of our country. With great respect and consideration towards you, I have the honour to subscribe,

SALEM, December 11.
Late from ALGIERS and GIBRALTER.
On Tuesday arrived at this port, the ship Brutus, William Brown, commander, in 32 days from Gibraltar, and 40 from Algiers. Captain Brown informs, that the United States frigate George Washington, captain Bainbridge, dated for Constantinople on the 19th of October; having on board the Algerine General of Marine and suite, with presents, &c. for the Grand Seignor. The Dey of Algiers, by force, compelled captain Bainbridge to perform this service, and threatened, in case of refusal, War to the United States, and Slavery to the Officers and Crew of the George Washington. The Dey also insisted, that the ship Brutus, captain Brown, should unload, and go to the Isle of Rhodes, for a cargo of Turks—no pay or freight to be allowed—but the voyage to be considered as a favour granted by the United States. Through the influence of the American Consul, Mr. O'Brien, and the ship's being private property, and having a perishable cargo on board, she was excused from this service. Captain Brown embraced this favourable moment, fearing a further requisition, and quit Algiers, on the 25th of October. Captain Brown brought dispatches to the Secretary of State, containing the particulars of this extraordinary affair. Mr. O'Brien, the Consul, and Captain Bainbridge, had remonstrated, but were obliged to comply, to prevent a more serious difficulty. Two days out from Algiers, Captain Brown was brought to by the British brig Carmelita; the Lieutenant of which informed—that she was bound for Egypt, with dispatches from Lord Keith; and that his Lordship, with the fleet and transports under his command, was destined for Egypt. On arriving at Gibraltar, no one was permitted to land from the Brutus, because the Dey had prohibited it on the Barbary coast—but an American, a resident there, came along side, and informed—that the French marched into Leghorn on the 10th of October, agreeably to a stipulation in the Treaty with the Emperor—that the inhabitants were much exasperated at the measure, and that it had excited considerable commotion, in that unfortunate city. The day the Brutus arrived at Gibraltar, an American ship owned by Murray and Mumford, of New-York, sailed, and was captured by some Spanish Gun Boats in a few hours—she had previously been boarded by the same Boats, and cautioned against entering Gibraltar, it being declared in a state of blockade by his Catholic Majesty—she however did enter and fell her cargo of Flour—she was carried to Algeziras, and would probably be condemned. The Gentleman also informed, that the Plague at Cadiz continued its ravages, and that it had spread into the interior of Spain, that it was at Malaga; and that in consequence the English at Gibraltar were very strict in their quarantine regulations. The next day Capt. B. took advantage of the Convoy of two Frigates, which had under their protection 38 transports, most of them full of troops, bound for Lisbon—before they got through the Gut, a Westerly wind sprang up, which obliged the whole Fleet to put into the Bay of Tuscany, on the Barbary Coast—found there, seven Sail of the Line, and 45 Transports with more troops. Next day was joined by Lord Keith, with four more Sail of the Line, and a number of Frigates. The Fleet all that day and night were busily employed in watering, not being able to procure supply at Gibraltar, owing to the dry season. Next day sailed with part of the fleet for Lisbon, leaving Lord Keith with the residue, and most all the troops, at Tuscany Bay—from whence it was conjectured he was to sail for Egypt. Capt. Brown left the fleet that night. While at Algiers, Captain B. procured the following information.
Sketch of Algerine Spoliations for the last two years.
Twenty-Seven sail of Neapolitans, Sicilians and Maltese, having British Passports from Lord Keith—vessels and cargoes condemned—crews, 215 condemned to slavery, claimed by the English, and not given up. Seventeen sail of Greeks—vessels, cargoes and crews condemned; the Greeks employed as slaves, and after a service of 15 months given up to the Grand Seignor. Thirteen sail of Imperialists, valued at one million of dollars—vessels and cargoes condemned; crews given up to the Grand Seignor. At Tunis, they have taken 11 Danish vessels, valued at six hundred thousand dollars. At Tripoli they have captured 24 sail of Swedes. A Danish Frigate by mistake chased an Algerine Corsair ashore near Tunis; for which the Danish Government will have to pay to the Dey eight thousand and to his Ministers twenty thousand dollars! Three hundred and sixty eight Frenchmen were made Slaves in July last at Algiers, but were released at the conclusion of the Peace with France. The Spanish Consul was 35 days in chains on account of the French taking the brig Bahaw. Spain returned the brig and crew to Algiers, accompanied with presents to the amount of 60,000 dollars—which released the poor Consul.
The following remarks on the above, are made by the Editor of the Salem Impartial Register. Look out United States of America! or you will share the fate of the Swedes!
Tripoli—the Dunes at Tunis—and of many other Nations at Algiers!
The United States should immediately have six stout frigates in the Mediterranean to keep Rogues in awe. Should any accident happen to the George Washington, in her passage to or from Constantinople, the Government of the United States will be obliged to reimburse the Dey all damages he may sustain thereby, or his most potent Majesty will order his corsairs to capture American vessels.
Among the presents sent to the Grand Seignor were one hundred black slaves, fifty of them females; Lyons, tigers, leopards, ostriches, &c. &c. valued at several millions of dollars. Precious cargo for an American Government ship!—Captain Bainbridge was obliged to hoist the Standard of Algiers at his main-top-gallant-mast head, instead of the American Pendant!
The George Washington failed on the 19th of October, upon her new voyage, and may return to this country possibly in July next. She had carried out to the Algerine Government large supplies of stores, which were received on account of the annual stipulated payments from the United States. The English had offered a frigate for this purpose, but the Dey did not like to trust them, for fear they would secure the treasure to themselves, as there had been a serious misunderstanding with them. Several Danish vessels were forcibly taken into port, and ordered for the Isle of Rhodes upon a similar business with the Washington.
The English Consul was at first refused a reception at Algiers, but was finally permitted to remain there.
Notwithstanding the treatment Capt. Bainbridge received from the Dey, the American Consul, and Flag, is more respected there than any of the European nations. The Algerines observed to Captain Bainbridge that he ought to consider it a great mark of the Dey's favour, to go on his Majesty's special business to the Grand Seignor—adding, that it was an honour he would confer on very few others. There are about 2300 European Slaves in Algiers—some of them from the first families in Europe. The place appears very strong, but 6 or 8 Seventy-Fours could batter it to pieces. The Policy of the English Government is against a measure so important to the commercial world. A petty Depot of a Piratical State, with a small marine force, commands homage and respect from all the Christian world. O tempora! O mores!
Mr. O'Brien had written home to the American Government, requesting that another Consul might be sent out to supersede him.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 17.
Hamburg Papers in the German language, to the 24th October, inclusive, were received yesterday at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the brig Thomas. They detail a number of interesting articles, of which the following are the outlines.
On the 17th October a plot was discovered at Paris for setting fire to the opera-house; and about the same time an unsuccessful attempt was made to fire the powder magazines.
On the 9th October, the First Consul received an intimation that a plot was in agitation to assassinate him in the evening as he quitted the Opera-House; that eleven conspirators had pledged themselves to each other for the performance of the deed; and that it would be prudent in the Consul to decline going thither. "I will go," said Bonaparte; and having made the necessary arrangements, and named Moreau as his successor in the Consulate, he went to the Opera, in his accustomed manner, unattended. The conspirators being known, the officers of police took suitable precautions, and arrested two of the principals, who confessed their criminal intention, and discovered their accomplices, amongst whom were Barrer, Delfren, and L. Marque. Diligent search was making for the remainder. The person to whose friendship the Consul is indebted for the discovery of the plot is said to be an emigrant who had received permission from the government to return to his native country.
General La Fayette, a name highly distinguished in the annals of our independence, is talked of as Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic to the United States. One of his daughters, it is added, is on the point of marriage with Lucien Bonaparte.
An embargo, which it was imagined would be of short duration, has been laid on all French vessels at Bourdeaux; the cause not made public.
In the convention of amity lately concluded with this country, it is said to be stipulated, an indemnity for spoliations, &c. to the amount of 20 millions of livres, shall be paid by France to America, at a period and in a manner, hereafter to be fixed; and that for the ensuing four years, no treaty shall be concluded between the latter and Great Britain until the conditions of it are made known to the French Government, and receive its approbation.
The French armies in Germany are progressing, though slowly, into the heart of the Empire; and the utmost exertions are employed on the part of the Emperor to make a desperate and effectual resistance whenever circumstances shall render it necessary to employ the whole energies of Austria.
The English still maintain the blockade of Cadiz, and threaten to set fire to the town. The Governor and 30,000 of the inhabitants, have fled into the country, to avoid the pestilence which had carried off 10,000 people, 11,000 were then lying sick, and 26,000 had recovered.
A letter from Frankfort, under date of October 18th, says, in the night of

12th three couriers arrived at head-quarters of General Moreau, who set off immediately for Paris, accompanied by several of his officers, and passed through Condé to Strasbourg on the 14th. Lecourbe went off before him to take command of the armed force, and General St. Luzenne succeeded Moreau, ad interim.
Apartments are sitting up at Mentz for the Chief Consul, who intends residing there during the Congress, should it meet at Lunéville, as is expected. In the mean time Bonaparte and Talleyrand are said to be busily employed in drawing out a plan for a General Peace, in which the interests of all parties, will be consulted to give it permanency.
The Arch Duke Charles has been appointed to, and accepted again the command of the Armies. Hopes are also entertained by Austria, that if the war should be renewed, a formidable Russian Army will co-operate with them. Volunteers from Austria, Hungary, and indeed from all the Emperor's territories, flock round the standards in great numbers and display a zeal hitherto unequalled in defence of their country; yet notwithstanding all these formidable appearances, negotiations are still going on at Lunéville.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Hamburg, to a respectable House in this city, dated the 22d of October.
"Although again a new armistice has taken place between the Emperor and the French, and the English have been trying whether they could also make up their differences; the result of both appears to be still dubious—and the Negotiations with the latter are reported to be broken off already. If peace on the continent should take place it is believed the differences with England will not be soon settled."
Since the above, The Gentleman who has our Hamburg Papers; says, "That the paper of the 24th of October expresses a doubt whether the Congress at Lunéville would ever effect the object wished for—A Peace."
FROM THE HAGUE, October 14. Accounts are received daily, which confirm the news, that three large Russian armies are forming; and it is credibly reported, that according to circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor of Russia will go in person to take command of those armies.
Schimmelpennick, our minister to the French Republic has returned to Paris.
Several French Officers are expected here from Germany, to join the Batavian Army, by which it appears that no winter campaign is expected in Germany.
It is generally expected here that there will be a peace.
We are informed, from the Helder, that on the 7th instant, during a thunder storm, a ship opposite Petten, took fire and was consumed. She is supposed to be an American, or an English ship of war.
Captain Hawes says, it was the general opinion at Hamburg, that there would be a peace between the Emperor and the French Republic; but it was not so prevalent a one, that Great Britain would be included in the pacification. The accounts, however, were various and contradictory.
Insurance on American ships, armed or unarmed, at Hamburg, was from 8 to 10 per cent.

Gazette of the United States. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13.
RETURN OF VOTES, For President and Vice President of the United States.
   Adams, Pinckney, Jefferson, Burr, Scattering     New-Hampshire, 6 6   Massachusetts, 16 16   Rhode-Island, 4 4   Connecticut, 9 9   Vermont, 12 12   New-York, 12 12   New-Jersey, 7 7 00 00   Pennsylvania, 7 7 8 8   Delaware, 3 3   Maryland, 5 5 5 5   Virginia, 21 21   Kentucky,   Tennessee,   North-Carolina, 4 4 8 8   South-Carolina, 8 7 1   Georgia,   61 61 62 61 1  
[The article published among the Foreign News, in this day's gazette, said to be in the convention entered into between America and France, concludes in the following degrading and insulting manner:]
"For the ensuing four years NO TREATY shall be concluded between the latter [America] and Great Britain until the CONDITIONS of it are made known to the FRENCH GOVERNMENT and RECEIVE ITS APPROBATION" ! ! ! ! !
[If this is true, what has become of our Independence—surely under such circumstances, no man will be fool enough to say, we are an Independent Nation—It is insulting the understanding and feeling of the Envoy, to suppose it possible, that such a stipulation has been acquiesced in.]
The Honourable THOMAS PINCKNEY, Esq. Member of the House of Representatives, arrived at Washington City, on Friday evening last.
Elegant Compliment. A French officer being just arrived at the court of Vienna, and the Empress hearing that he had the day before been in company with a great lady, asked him if it were true that she was the most handsome princess of her time? The officer answered, with great gallantry, "Madam, I thought so yesterday."
A Well-Doer. A father wished to dissuade his daughter from any thoughts of matrimony. "She who marries does well," said he; "but she who does not marry, does better." "My father," she answered meekly, "I am content with doing well; let her do better who can."
Ignorant Naiveté. An old officer had lost an eye in the wars, and supplied it with a glass one, which he always took out when he went to bed. Being at an inn, he took out his eye, and gave it to the simple wench who attended, desiring her to lay it on the table. The maid afterwards still waiting and staring, "What dost wait for?" said the officer. "Only for the other eye, Sir."
A Commandment. The evening before a battle, an officer came to ask Marshal Toiras for permission to go and see his father, who was at the point of death. "Go," said the general, who saw through the pretext; "thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the earth."
Use of Monasteries. An envoy from Cairo to Lorenzo de Medici asked that wise prince how it came to pass that there were so few madmen at Florence, while the capital of Egypt presented great numbers. Lorenzo, pointing to a monastery, said, "We shut them up in those houses."
Divine Favour. In Italy, when they make processions to procure rain, and a tempest and deluge follow, they say that when Dominio trying to mount a horse, prayed to our Lady to assist him. He then made a vigorous spring, and fell on t'other side. Getting up and wiping his clothes, he said, "Our Lady has assisted me too much."
[WILLIAM CORBETT, having projected a daily paper in London, the following are extracts from his Prospectus. He has not relinquished his independence, or his interest.]
"THE PORCUPINE will embrace all the usual topics of a Newspaper; Parliamentary and Law Reports, Court City, and Country News, &c. An early and correct account of those foreign events, which may be considered as news, is a thing so much in the beaten track, and so indispensably necessary, that any specific promise on that head would be superfluous; but it may not be amiss to mention, that, to faithful translations from foreign journals, I shall endeavour to add such a commentary as will prevent my paper from being (what too many others are) a mere vehicle for those articles, which are fabricated on the Continent of Europe and America, for the sole purpose of deceiving the too credulous people of this kingdom. The intrigues of the French, the servile, the insidious, the insinuating French, shall be an object of my constant attention. Whether at war or at peace with us, they still dread the power, envy the happiness, and thirst for the ruin of England. Collectively and individually, the whole and every one of them, hate us. Had the means, they would exterminate us to the last man; they would snatch the crutch from our parents, the cradle from our children, and our happy country itself would sink beneath those waves, on which they now flee from the thunder of our cannon. When we shall sheath the sword it is for our Sovereign to say; but, while we retain one drop of true British blood in our veins, we never shall shake hands with this perfidious and sanguinary race, much less shall we make a compromise with their monkey-like manners and tiger-like principles."
"I shall stand in great need of, and, I hope, I shall receive, voluntary assistance, in every department of my Paper, but more particularly in that which will treat of the artful manoeuvres of the factious in the country-towns, and in the villages. The unperverted sense of the people is decided in favour of the established order of things, that the contrivers of innovation are never formidable, except where their real views are unperceived. It is, their, by-o-vitical cant, their clandestine intrigues in the numerous societies and institutions into which they imperceptibly worm themselves; it is their vipers, and not their village, that we have to fear. On this topic, therefore, I thus early solicit information from every part of the United Kingdom, being well assured, that, if the malecontents have sometimes succeeded in exciting a spirit of opposition and revolt, their success is to be solely attributed to the want of a regular, well-conducted, widely-extended system of exposure."
A late London paper says—"The new species of Hemp, called Sun, the produce of Bengal, and which has been manufactured there for general purposes, has turned out nearly equal to our own rope. In order to give it a fair trial, the company's ship the Earl Howe, Captain Robert Burrowes, which has lately arrived, had all her running rigging rove with this rope in Bengal, by the order of government; and we learn, from respectable authority, that it answered during a long voyage home, captain Burrowes's sanguine expectations. All the Marine Establishment in India is to be supplied with this new article of Eastern produce, which is esteemed an invaluable acquisition to the shipping navigating the Indian seas."
POLITICAL SKETCH.
THE rigid censors of that commotion, which some time since, enflamed the body politic of Pennsylvania, extending thro' the enlightened counties of Northampton, Berks, and Dauphin—in the Banks of the Delaware almost to those of Sulphur-hama; seem to be wholly unacquainted with the genius and spirit of our Republican Institutions. What to the affrighted imagination of these ignorant cavillers, presented the appearance of a tremendous insurrection, was nothing more than an ebullition or rather a flowering of liberty, a mere hot-water business, as it has been aptly termed.
A consequential ill which freedom draws, a bad effect, but from a glorious cause. No wonder, therefore, that the formidable force which was drawn out by Government, to quell an harmless effervescence in the best of causes, should have excited so much disgust and indignation in the minds of good Republicans; but the real motive of the termient is yet but little understood. It was no disaffection to the general government, no reluctance to comply with its requisitions, no hostility to its measures. No, Sir—The poles which pierced the skies, the trees of liberty, which proudly decked the villages from Easton to Lebanon inclusive, waved not their cloud-capt heads in defiance of government. They were no signals of sedition, as has been invidiously alleged; but to eyes of all intelligent Republicans, the floating streamers which adorned their tops, held out the words—M c Lean and Liberty. This, patriotic Heister, knew, otherwise can it be supposed that he would have condescended to patronize the pale of Steven? This too, was well known to his Excellency. For had it not, who will dare to say, that Steven would have figured a justice and Fries a colonel, under the administration of a man, so anxious to fulfil his federal obligations? Let the historian, then, who shall transmit to posterity, the glories of this memorable administration, beware of falling into the common error. The fame of an illustrious man is much nearer to him than life or property, and justice is all he requires. "Let him be spoken of them, as he is, nothing extenuate or set down in malice."
The foregoing development shows the folly of being alarmed at every cloud which appears in the political horizon. Calms are for despotism, the sea of liberty is ever tempestuous. We must not be surprised therefore, if, in the progress of illumination, a gentle insurrection should precede every important election. Insurrections give vigour to the cause of freedom. Like an electric shock, from the GREEN END of a STATE, to its far bound, the impulse is simultaneous, and the partisans of liberty are every where in motion. Aristocracy is overwhelmed, Republicanism triumphant. Such are thy blessings, Holy Insurrection!
It is by no means, however insinuated that the Republican Candidate had a hand in exciting the hot-water commotion. Far be it from us to entertain so unfounded a suspicion. But as it was in action for his benefit, it is not all to be wondered at, that he should be penetrated with emotions of gratitude to a set of citizens, that did him such signal service on the great day of his election; or that amid the doubtful strife, he should with heroic ardour exclaim,
"I've man to day, that gives a vote for me, Shall be my brother; he ne'er to vile, This day shall gentle his condition."
CLASHING OPINIONS.
Governor Jay, and indeed all the Governors to the Eastward, have borne testimony against the dangers of innovation—in which opinion the President concurs. But the Governor of Pennsylvania has no far on that score—He is for rotation and innovation; and is now urging some new-fangled mode of selecting jurors.

We hear, that some time last week, a pack of the Jacobin GANAILLE at Middletown, (one of M c Lean's hot beds of Democracy) about 40 miles from this place had the effrontery to publicly hang and burn in effigy the thirteen Senators of this state, who have so virtuously distinguished themselves by their patriotism, and thereby prevented the government of this country from falling into the hands of men unworthy of so important a trust. We have not heard who these fellows are, that dare intrude in this outrageous manner, the dignity of the Senate of Pennsylvania; but we do not hesitate to assert, that should their idol ever get the ascendancy in the United States, as it has in this state, no honest man will dare exercise the privileges of thinking and acting as an American, without subjecting himself to the outrage of democratic and raggamuffin malice.
From the Washington Federalist.
The issue of the election of President and Vice-President of the United States, so far as it depended upon the individual states, is at length known. Previous to the vote of South-Carolina which decided the election, the four candidates for those high and important offices, had each 65 votes. The Arts, from mere accident, had obtained a majority in the legislature of that state, and its couple appointed electors who bestowed their suffrages on Mr. Jefferson and Col. Burr. The whole number of votes will, therefore, on the final count, stand thus;
   For Col. Burr 73   Mr. Jefferson, 73   Mr. Adams, 65   Gen. Pinckney, 65  
Such then being the fact, on which of the two candidates having the greatest number of votes, will the House of Representatives, who are constitutionally empowered to decide in the event of an equal vote, confer their sanction?
The choice indeed lies between two evils; but as the Federal Republicans are, under existing circumstances, not only overpowered for the reasons aforesaid, but actually enabled by their numbers to make it, ought they not to chuse the least? and if this be the case, will they not elect colonel Burr and certainly the least physical, and most probably the smallest political evil?
DIED —In the 82d year of her age, at Coventry, Chester County, on Friday the 5th instant, Mrs. REBECCA GRACE; and on the Sunday following, her remains were deposited in the family burial ground, attended by a numerous train of relations and friends, by whom she lived beloved and respected.
