LANCASTER, November 8.
GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Yesterday afternoon the Governor met the two Houses in the Chamber of the House of Representatives, and delivered the following address:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
THE Legislature having omitted to prescribe the manner, in which the electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States, shall be appointed, I have thought it incumbent on me, to furnish the present opportunity, for discharging a trust, so interesting to the honor of the State, and so essential to the prosperity of the Union. To preserve, indeed, the political balance of our confederation, to promote the regular operations of Government, to diffuse the blessings of concord, and to ensure the confidence of the people, are considerations intimately connected with the object, for which you have been convened; and having thus prompted an extraordinary interposition of the Executive power, they will, also, I am persuaded, command, on your part, a serious and salutary attention.
It is to be regretted, Gentlemen, that the difference of opinion, which occurred on this subject, between the two branches of the last General Assembly, has deprived our Constituents of an immediate participation in the choice of Electors, either by an election of the citizens at large, or by an election of the citizens in districts. Since, however, the crisis affords no other alternative, than a Legislative appointment, or a dereliction of the right of election, we cannot, I think, reflect upon the dangerous and disgraceful consequences of the latter course, without resolving to pursue the former. On the fidelity and vigilance of its several members, the Union depends for its energy and duration; and, it is obvious, that a neglect, or omission, of the important duties, assigned to the individual States, must, eventually, prove as destructive to our Federal Compact, as an opposition the most active, or a secession the most daring: For, a free and enlightened People will not long continue to maintain or to respect an institution, in which (from whatever cause) they have ceased to be represented.
Nor can we resist the influence of those occurrences which admonish us, at this momentous period of human affairs, to rally round the Constitution of our Country, as the palladium of civil Liberty, and the last hope of Republican Virtue. To rescue Pennsylvania, therefore, from the stigma of exhibiting to her Sister States, a fatal example of discord and disorganization, is a motive, that cannot fail to supersede in every patriotic mind, the pride of opinion, as to the theory of our Government, or the bias of predilection, as to the various means of supplying its departments. For my own part, I acknowledge, that I have ever contemplated a general choice by the People, as the truest, fairest, safest, exposition of the Constitution; but a deference for the judgment and practice of others, taught me to respect a departure from that rule elsewhere, before the necessity had arisen, which imposes a departure from it here. In eight States of the Union, Electors are appointed by a Vote of the two branches of their respective Legislatures; and appointments so made, have been uniformly recognized by Congress. It is a great consolation, therefore, that on the present occasion, we have these authoritative precedents to pursue; since, permit me to repeat, it is only left to your discretion to decide, whether Pennsylvania shall abandon her elective rights, or exercise them in a manner, which has already been adopted by one half of the Confederation.
Though I have thus explicitly communicated my sentiments, and exonerated myself from all official responsibility, I still deeply partake of the general solicitude, for the issue of your deliberations. The situation of our Country is critical:
but not alarming. In her external relations, the prospect of reconciliation and peace appears, by recent intelligence, to be realized; and nothing seems wanting to her domestic happiness, but a recollection of the common interest, by which all her Citizens must be equally animated, in their efforts to promote it. It has perhaps then, fallen to the lot of Pennsylvania, not merely to determine an important election, but to extinguish, by a magnanimous example, those feuds and jealousies, which have disturbed the order of Society, and threatened to eclipse the glory of the Revolution. Under this impression, we see, without surprize, the attention of the Union fixed upon the proceedings of the present day; while, from every quarter of the State, the wishes and prayers of our Fellow-citizens, emphatically appeal to the patriotism and fidelity of those, in whom they have reposed their confidence, and to whom they have delegated their power. Such just and honorable expectations will not be disappointed! No:—Superior to the suggestions of party, disdaining a contest about forms, and yielding to the precedents that have been established, your decision cannot fail to merit the approbation of our Constituents, the applause of our Sister States and the gratitude of posterity.
I shall reserve, Gentlemen, the communications on the general state of the Commonwealth for a future message: but I cannot conclude at this time, without assuring you of my most cordial co-operation, in every measure for the public good. Let us, then, cultivate, by all the means in our power, a liberal and harmonious intercourse between the departments of the Government;—convinced as we must be, that our private happiness, not less than our public duty, will be best promoted, under the influence of mutual confidence, deference and esteem.
THOMAS M'KEAN.

Captain Hufsey, the pilot, who was blown off on Saturday night last, in the Schooner Highland Lads, capt. Brown, arrived in port last night. He informs us that he spoke the Sloop Dove, capt. Lufcomb from Savannah, bound to this port, who had been blown off in the same gale; that capt. L. unable to get in here, and being short of provisions, and otherwise much distressed had resolved to bear for Wilmington, at which place it is probable he arrived here yesterday.
Capt. Littlefield, of the Sloop Aurora, left the Havana on the 17th inst.—An embargo had existed for 26 days previous to this date, in consequence of three Spanish 74's and a frigate preparing to sail on a cruise: they left Havana a few days, before capt. Littlefield; but after being a short time at sea, returned; and in entering the port, one of the ships ran foul of a Baltimore Schooner, and sunk her.—It was expected, when capt. L. failed, that the embargo would again be laid on the next day—No United States cruisers on the Havana station.
Mr. MICHAU, the botanist of the French Republic, who resided for a number of years in this state, in that capacity, we find is not to return here immediately, as the following extract of a letter from his son mentions. The letter is dated in Paris, on the 6th of August last.
"I have to inform you, that my father appears to have abandoned absolutely the idea of again seeing Carolina. He has taken a direction entirely opposed to a voyage to that country; and it is with grief I announce to you, that he is to embark on board of one of two vessels, which are destined for the South Seas. This expedition, the object of which is to make new discoveries, has been ordered by the First Consul, and the British government, and the British government has granted passports for it. The national Institute has made a selection of learned men who are to accompany it, and my father is one; they are to depart by the 15th September, at the latest from Havre. Captain Baudin is to command the expedition. It is supposed they will be absent four or five years. My father expects to leave it at the Philippines, where the squadron is to refit."
SAVANNAH, October 21. In the counties of Jefferson, Montgomery, Washington, Hancock, Burke, Warren, Bullock, Screven and Wilkes, the votes for Representatives in Congress, stood nearly thus: James Jones Jones, Esq. 4000—Benjamin Tilliaferro, Esq. 2500—Francis Wilks, 1000.

As there are no such coins in the United States as Pounds, Shillings and Pence, The Brokers of Philadelphia in future, intend to buy and sell all kinds of Public Stock, at so much per cent. in Dollars and Cents, which are the proper coins of the United States, and not as heretofore, at so much per pound. And to prevent any inconvenience which may arise to those who have been habituated to the old method, the following table is published, showing the sum in Dollars and Cents, per Cent. which correspond with shillings and pence, per pound. They hope the simplicity of the new method, will be pleasing to the citizens of the U. States, and give general satisfaction.

When the storm rages, and the waters are troubled, substances defined otherwise to obscurity, rise often to the surface. As in the natural world, extraordinary causes produce uncommon effects, so in the moral, there exists the same connection.
Under what circumstances, but such as the present, could such a base, treacherous and unheard-of wretch as Coxe be listened to with patience, or even countenanced in society?
But the antidote to every bane is wisely incorporated therewith and dependent thereon, in a manner, not always perceptible, but certainly always admirable and beneficent.
Thus in the wreck of reason, Coxe mounts the Jacobin scaffold, and assumes to guide the public sentiment and public orthodoxy in politics and morals; and Coxe in the attempt, betrays his own perfidy, and unparallelled baseness, in colours so striking as to pierce the thickest gloom of ignorance or prejudice.

MOULTRIEVILLE, October 25. Messieurs FRENEAU & PAINE, IN a publication signed Tench Coxe, addressed to the Editor of the Aurora, and inserted in your Gazette of Thursday last, I observe the following sentence: "I never understood before that you, had sent copies, (meaning of the letter of Mr. Adams) to Mr. T. Pinckney, while he was attending the last session of Congress." I therefore request that you will give equal publicity to my declaration, that I never received from the Editor of the Aurora, nor from any other person, a copy of that letter; that I never before heard of any such copy having been sent to me; and that the first copy of it which I saw, was that which you published in your Gazette of the 13th of last month.

A London paper of October 1, says—The Mail brings a confirmation of the Emperor Paul's having taken off the sequestration on the effects of British subjects; it is to be regretted that it should have been so hastily imposed, and that a disposition should have been manifested for which no provocation had been given.
COMMUNICATION,
Last Friday Evening, the Operas of the Mountaineers and the Lock and Key were performed, for the first time this season. The characters in each piece were well supported, except that of Bulcazer Mulbey, by Mr. Wood, we do not mean to censure Mr. Wood for his bad performance, he done it as well as he could. 'Tis the Managers who are to blame, in rendering him the laughing stock of the audience, by his being cast in such a part; Mr. Warren should have played it.
Mr. Bernard is determined not to attend to Hamlets advice to the Players. "Let those that play your clowns, speak no more than is set down for them, for there be of them that will themselves laugh, to let on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh;" he may think his additions a pleasing; but it is quite the reverse; they will create a smile with the above described part of the audience. We hope when he gains Plays Sadi the author will be his guide; excepting additions, be performed the part with great judgement.
Mr. Darley junr. made his appearance after an absence of near four years in the character of Oberon. He has since his departure
from the stage; been second lieutenant of Marines on board the frigate United States until of late when he was promoted, if we are right informed, to be first lieutenant; which is a convincing proof that his conduct was approved by his superior officers, and such as rendered him worthy of being advanced. Since he preferred the stage, he was certainly at liberty to return to it—and had he been negligent whilst an officer, he would have been punished for it, no doubt, but he quit the service, without a stain upon his character; and his friends were pleased to see his return to the stage announced; and he may depend upon being supported by them; but we regret the necessity of expressing the most pointed disapprobation of the conduct of several gentlemen on this occasion, who endeavoured to expel him from the boards, by repeated hissing.
When he asked them "What have I done to deserve such treatment?"—What answer did they make? None—for they had not one.
The conduct of capt. Murray, on this occasion deserves the highest praise.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended,  DR. HAHN'S  Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S  Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infalible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousands cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
