CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, April 28.
Mr. Sitgreaves presented a petition from the attorneys acting in the Circuit Court held at Philadelphia, praying that the said Courts may in future be held at Philadelphia and York Town alternatively. Referred to a select committee.
Mr. Goodhue, chairman of the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported a bill for discontinuing the drawbacks on the exportation of Snuff from the United States; which was twice read, and after a few observations, was ordered to be committed to a committee of the whole.
A message was received from the President, informing the house he had approved and signed a bill for making further provision for supporting public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt;
Also a message in writing representing the propriety of advancing the salaries of the attorneys, which was referred to a select committee.
A bill was received from the Senate, authorizing Ebenezer Zane, to locate certain lands north west of the river Ohio, which was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. S. Smith proposed a resolution to the following effect, which was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures to report thereon:
"Resolved, that the President of the United States be authorized to direct quarantine to be performed on all vessels from foreign countries, arriving at the ports of the United States, as he shall judge necessary."
Mr. Muhlenberg presented a petition from 42 inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia; Mr. Sitgreaves four petitions from 358 inhabitants of Bucks and one from Belfast, signed by 50 persons; Mr. Hartley one from 130 inhabitants of York County; Mr. M'Clay one from 101 persons in Dauphin county; one by Mr. Heister from 400 persons in Berks; one by Mr. Richards from 112 inhabitants of Montgomery; one by Mr. Kitchell from 65 inhabitants of Lancaster; by Mr. Isaac Smith one from New-Jersey; one by Mr. Kitchell from the same state, signed by 307 persons; one by Mr. Madison from 100 citizens of Fredericksburg; one by Mr. Crabb from Annapolis, signed by 164 persons; one by Mr. Havers from the County of Kings, in the state of New-York, signed by about 200 persons praying that provision may be made for carrying the British treaty into effect. They were referred as usual.
Mr. S. Smith also informed the house that he had received instructions from 97 of his constituents to exert himself in getting the British treaty carried into effect. He said the instructions which he read to the house before from his constituents, in Baltimore county, were signed by 197 persons, and not 571 as had been stated.
Mr. Livingston presented a representation and memorial (a copy of which appeared in our paper of yesterday) signed by 37 persons, in behalf of a public meeting which had been held at New-York in the fields, praying that the house of Representatives would act, as they thought best with respect to the British treaty, without being influenced by the efforts of any party. It was referred to the usual committee.
The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union; when the resolution for carrying into effect the British treaty being under consideration, Mr. Preston spoke against the motion, and Mr. Ames in favor of it. At the conclusion of Mr. Ames's speech, there was again a divided cry of "committee rise," and "the question": when
Mr. Venable said he hoped the question would not be taken to day. The business was allowed on all hands to be important, and one day he trusted would not make much difference. He said there were mischievous effects stared them in the face look which way they would; evils from carrying the treaty into effect, or refusing to do it. The question was to chuse the least of the two evils. He himself was not determined at present which was the least, and wished for another day's consideration.
The committee divided and there appeared 70 members for rising. Adjourned.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
MR. TRACY appears to have made the force back'd horse race. Witness the lamentations in the Aurora of this morning. If to defend the character of his constituents and of his fellow citizens of the United States in general, against the imputation of blustering cowardice, be doing his duty, then has Mr. Tracy done his duty indeed: if the people of these states, with to preserve the character they have acquired of a peaceable and at the same time brave nation, they will reverence the man who would not permit their character or the character of those whom they have chosen to superintend their public affairs to be calumniated with impunity by any man native or foreigner in the public manner that the charge alluded to was made against them. Mr. Tracy has done his duty; to see a man abused in the Aurora is sufficient proof; it is a natural consequence of his having done so.
I was present yesterday when Mr. T. made the comments upon Mr. Gallatin's oration of the preceding day: when he said "I do not thank that gentleman (Mr. G.) for coming all the way from Geneva to tell me, that such is the character of my countrymen," the smile of joy and gratitude danced on the cheek and brightened the face of every American present, a few democrats excepted, who having divested themselves of every true patriotic motion, can suffer any calumny on their own country to pass unnoticed, can permit any man to speak ill of their own country, of their own government with impunity, but when a single syllable is uttered against the bravery, the generosity, the millions of good qualities which the French Republic has been discovered to possess, then all is fire
fury and the guillotine. The Aurora asks, "even supposing that the solum nati plampt the character of the man, for what d...veva deserve contempt and reproach? Is it fortitude and spirit with which it has resisted all the attempts of foreign encroachment?"
With whatever fortitude and spirit the Genevans may have resisted foreign encroachment in former terms, the citizen who made this communication to citizen Bache seems to be as well versed in the recent history of this "second Nineveh" as the democrats in general.
Let him peruse the history of the late revolution in that country written by a Genevan. He will there discover that amongst this brave and spirited people, a majority could be found base enough to "join the French in the destruction of their own native country, to assist them to overthrow their ancient constitution, ruin their trade, annihilate their public finances and cleaving to a new faction, having the French Resident at their head who desired nothing less than the downfall of all religion, preached the most extreme principles of the French and seemed to aspire to imitate them in every thing or to deliver themselves up to them."
Such a faction have we in our republic—God of his infinite mercy grant that we, cowards as the Genevan representative, represented us on Tuesday, never may submit to wear the chains his countrymen have lately bowed to, let their former spirit and fortitude have been what it may. "Happen what may" says the historian, "Geneva no longer deserves liberty. Liberty has been branded and dishonored there." So mean have they become as to suffer their republican masters to immolate a tenth part of the males in their empire to their revolutionary fury.
Is this the salut and fraternité with which the emitters of the republic conclude their dispatches? May we ever remain in the condition we are, detestable as the Jacobins would with us to believe it, rather than bow down our necks to such a yoke as this!
"Is it because Geneva has produced a Rousseau, and a long list of worthies?" asks the Aurora.
If the reader has never yet read the life of the infamous John James, and 'tis pity, 'tis pity 'tis true, that Americans have been drawn, by the celebrity of the writings, into a belief of an excellence in some of the European writers, without investigating their characters, as if a man could redeem his name from merited detestation by praising in his writings a virtue which is as far from his breath, as are the Poles asunder, liberty which he never understood. Such persons I would advise to read a few pages of Porcupine's Bloody Buoy, beginning at page 166, they will there find summed up the transactions of the worthy, whom Mr. Bache has placed at the head of the long list of Genevan worthies; they will find that if a multitude of character runs through the long list from Rousseau to Gallatin, Mr. Bache or his correspondent, has made an unfortunate attempt at a compliment to that Representative as ever Democrat made—however notorious they may be for their awkwardness. Permit me to transcribe one paragraph from the work above quoted; page 168. "We seldom meet with so much villainy in a youth. His (Rousseau's) manhood was worthy of it. He turned apostate a second time, was driven from within the walls of his native city of Geneva, as an incendiary, and an apostle of anarchy and infidelity; nor did he forget how to thrive. At last the philosopher Marries; but like a philosopher; that is without going to church. He has a family of children, and like a kind philosophical father, for fear they should want after his death, he sends them to the poorhouse during his life time! To conclude, the philosopher dies, and leaves the philosopheress, his wife, to the protection of a friend; she marries a footman and gets turned out into the street. This is a brief sketch of the life of J. J. Rousseau, the oracle of the regenerated French, a thief, a whoremaster, an adulterer, a treacherous friend, an unnatural father, and twice an apostate."
This account of Rousseau does not rest solely upon the assertions of Mr. Porcupine. No, they are to be found in works which in all probability will last as long as any of John James's writings. By this he certainly was a fit character to be canonized by the Jacobins of the present day. Any man who endeavors to eradicate the precepts of religion, virtue and morality; any man who endeavors to subvert the great fabric of christianity which teaches us to live like brothers, and in it's stead to substitute atheism with it's necessarily horrible concomitants, bloodshed and murder, is worthy of praise from them, I do not envy him nor any Genevan like him the blessing; for praise from them is infamy eternal and indelible.
"Mr. Gallatin's being born there is his soul reproach." 'Tis a great pity when a fore is fast healing to tear it open; 'tis madness when the person himself tears it open. The people have almost forgotten the Western Insurrection; they are willing to forget the men whose machinations cost them a million and an half of dollars.—Why then pel us in spite of ourselves to remember that unfortunate aspect of theirs? Thus compelled to cast a retrospective look, we find ample cause of reproach, a sufficient reason to wish that Mr. G— had staid in that land which has resisted foreign encroachment with so much fortitude and spirit, and not come to this country to slacken the sinews and "clog the wheels" of a government which preserves to its citizens a degree of dignity and respectability in the eyes of the nations of the earth, far superior to what his spirited countrymen possess; we do not indeed thank him for coming all the long way from Geneva to tell the American name with a stigma, no one before him ever dared to fix upon it, and I believe, if he would express an intention of returning to his independent birth place, I might venture to promise, that a subscription should be raised to defray his expenses home, and every true American would wish him a short voyage; I further believe, and six or eight members of the House to accompany him, their passages would cheerfully be paid to Geneva, Botany Bay, or any other elegant retirement in which they might chuse to enjoy, "Otiun Turpitudine."
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
WHY call for papers? say the President and his adherents to the House of Representatives. Since the treaty itself contains every thing necessary for you to know in the agency allotted to you by the constitution, for what purpose would you pry into the secrets of the negotiation? I'll tell you why, Mr. Fenno—Because republicans have no secrets, nor indeed, in the opinion of some able statesmen, ought they to have any treaties, though this latter point is not yet thoroughly ascertained. But that the former is orthodox, have we not the authority of that paragon of republicanism, Citizen Cenet, who was accustomed to promulgate his very dreams, and also of our quondam democratic secretary, in his "precious confessions" to Citizen Fauchet? And, in fact, is not the very appellation of Sans-Culotte, ex vi termini, an ample exposition of Sans doctrine? A hint, which, by the bye, is much at the service of its learned advocates in either House of Congress.
Besides, in concluding this unnatural treaty with the monarchy of Britain, it is shrewdly suspected, that the characters of the true republicans have been made very free with, and should any thing of this kind appear, what a glorious ground would it furnish for an impeachment and the introduction of the guillotine, that indispensable engine of a free government! For my own part, I have little doubt, that a language very similar to what follows, took place between the negotiators. Instead of a manly demand for reparation of injuries, and a magnanimous denunciation of vengeance in case of refusal, I suppose the business to have opened in some such inquiring tone as this:
Envoy. I am come, Sir, or my Lord, perhaps, (was the servile anti-republican address) with a view of accommodating the differences unhappily depredations between your country and mine. Your of the Western ports in violation of the treaty of peace, are among the causes of complaint which bring me hither; and in order to evince their sincere disposition for an amicable adjustment, the United States have sent me, their chief justice, as ambassador.
Grenville. Why, Sir, why Mr. chief justice, to be plain with you, I do acknowledge that we have pretty freely availed ourselves of the power which our naval superiority has given us, as well upon the vessels of your nation, as upon those of every other nation, which has shown an inclination to abet our enemies in their monstrous schemes for the subversion of every well organized government. The present contest being founded on speculative opinions, differs from all others that we know of, and in the present rage of political theory, not only every nation but every man is in some degree a party.—Down with monarchy is the cry. Now, Sir, whether the republican or monarchical system is preferable, is not a subject for our discussion. You may have a predilection for the one, I for the other.—Your country has naturally assumed the one form, and mine, from causes and circumstances not necessary to develop, has been thrown into the other, with which our most important and sacred institutions are blended and inseparably connected. I will go further, and admit that what may be adapted to the state of society here, may not be so with you. It is enough, however, for us to know, that every thing we hold dear depends upon supporting our present establishment, and we should be the most egregious fools in nature, if, when we see a nation under the mask of neutrality doing every thing in their power to ruin us, we did not consider that nation as our enemy, and treat it accordingly.—There is, besides, another view of the subject, which affords a further justification of our conduct. In this war of opinion, one of the principal arguments of the reformers is the comparative cheapness of a republican administration, and its exemption from wars, to which they hold up the ambition of princes as the only incitement. Now, Sir, as this popular reasoning is absurdly illustrated by the example of your government, which is yet too young to have attained the expensive luxury of European establishments, or to have contracted debts by former wars, you must suppose us to retain an infinite deal of parental affection for you, to let our cause suffer by this contemptible fallacy which it is in our power so effectually to refute, and when we are continually provoked to it by your prayers for our destruction, and participation in the triumphs of our enemies.
Envoy. I cannot but admit that there is too much truth in your observations. But it is necessary to distinguish those who administer the government and the better classes of citizens, from the noisy and turbulent, who are ever busy to disturb the peace of society. As well as you, Sir, we have our jacobins, who are as indefatigable in their labours to destroy our constitution, which they stigmatize as aristocratic, as yours are to overthrow your monarchy. But, Sir, the well informed and virtuous among us, so far from wishing a revolution in your kingdom, deprecate an event which involves the ruin of a whole people, and detest that bigotry of sentiment which sets up civil institutions, framed for the happiness of particular communities, as causes of hostility and signals for mutual extermination.
Grenville. This, Sir, is coming to the point. But if your government and better classes of citizens, cannot restrain the fury of your jacobins, what reliance can we place on the assurances of your rulers? They may mean well, perhaps, and be sincerely inclined to observe the neutrality they have avowed; but if, while you are enjoying all the benefits of this situation, we are sensibly suffering by the weight which the accession of the American character and opinion gives to the cause of our enemies, and indeed the enemies of all order (tho' monarchy is the declared object of their vengeance) we stand upon very unequal terms. If, however, the subject is viewed in its true light, the wise and good of all countries and nations, whether monarchical or republican, in the present revolutionary frenzy, have a common cause; and making this the basis of an accommodation, we are ready to meet you, and to make you every reasonable concession.
Here, citizen Printer, I shudder to think what

must have been the shocking answer of our envoy to this abominable proposition, & pretty certain I am, that some such villainous proposal was made and acceded to. Not that there is the smallest degree of truth in the observations, but it is so like the language of the aristocrats, that I would venture a wager that something very like it took place;—and hence the call for papers, to come at the bottom of this affair. Grenville we well know to be a foul-mouthed fellow, from what he said of us to Mr. Pinckney, and Jay is but too well disposed to chuckle at, and approve of his abuse; therefore there is more than mere suspicion, that we have been fearfully treated in this negotiation, and, like men of true spirit, are determined to have satisfaction, cost what it will.
A TRUE PATRIOT.
NEW-YORK, April 27.
The following Letter from an American of information in London, to his brother in this City, contains many interesting ideas.
London, Dec. 30, 1795.
MY DEAR BROTHER,
With respect to the state of public affairs in America, we are at present in a suspense, which is unpleasant enough. Much will depend upon the proceedings of Congress at this time, and I confess the western political sky looks rather more lowering than I could wish.
There is nothing very remarkable in the present situation of European politics. There have been recently some symptoms of an approximation towards a peace; but little dependence is to be placed upon them. Before the close of the season, all the parties at war will be in great want of bread, and I do not know but they will drain it off from America, even beyond what we could wish. But in a national point of view, the advantages of neutrality are increasing in Geometrical proportion to the United States. In the course of the year now expiring it has given us peace with the Indians, peace with Algiers, and a Treaty with Spain.—Let the Mediterranean be fairly opened to our Commerce, and the consequences will soon be felt in respect to other branches of trade. In this country the restrictive system is already gasping, and will be forced to yield for a time, at least, to necessity. But there seems to be people in America, who are not enough aware of all these things, or who think like Mandeville, that national happiness and virtue are inseparably connected with national weakness and poverty.
The neutrality of the present time has not only produced an unexampled course of prosperity, during the period itself, but has laid the foundation for a series of advantages, which I cannot imagine that madness itself would throw away. Our political dependence upon France, and our commercial dependence upon Britain, have both been great and heavy clogs upon us from the time of peace to this day. Every hour of neutrality now has a tendency to extricate us from both these shameful dependencies, and to make us a really and completely independent people. The demands upon the articles of our produce, will undoubtedly continue very great for several ensuing years. The inevitable course of events will make us carriers for France, Holland, and even for Great Britain. As to the last, the benefit will be possessed only while she is at war, and we at peace; for you may be assured she now feels herself with extreme reluctance, compelled to resign it into our hands. Her own navigation is not adequate to her own supply; and the longer her war continues, the greater her deficiency will be. Holland, which has heretofore been her competitor and rival as a carrier, is in greater need even than she. Holland has scarce any active navigation left. She cannot protect her own Commerce, and we must therefore be her carriers too. As to France, the thing speaks of itself.—There is indeed no doubt but a general peace will produce great changes, and the usual system of selfishness and exclusion will be as far as possible resumed by all these nations. But there are many reasons which lead to a belief that France will, for many years, have no temptation to resume it entirely—and perhaps not the ability. The commerce of Holland has suffered so severely by the present war, that they will not easily find themselves able again to carry on the trade of others. But if they should, it will but partially interfere with us. Let there only be a competition, and our point is gained; for the simple reason, that we can carry quicker and cheaper than either the Dutch or the English.
There is another circumstance, which will enhance the value of American neutrality, in the opinion of every man, who can look deeper than the surface. It is the probability that a general peace will, if it takes place, be but of short duration; and that the seeds of future European wars and tumults are thickly sown. The hearts of the human race were never less pacific than they are at this time. The political question upon which all Europe has been deluged with blood for the last four years, is so far from being decided, that it has become a more extensive source of discord than ever. The political question will, perhaps, be decided by arms in every part of Europe, and it is every where a civil as well as a foreign war. It will undoubtedly give to all the standing governments so much employment, that their commercial pursuits will necessarily and inevitably suffer from it. This is our strongest security against the gigantic projects of the British government; for so long as they shall be engaged in the grapple of democracy and feudalism, their purposes of commercial extension must be often sacrificed to the necessities of their struggle. And I have no doubt but at the period when they shall be disembarrassed of the doctrine, the United States will have strength to resist and defeat any attempt to encroach upon their Commerce.
I hope, therefore, that at all events our neutrality will be preserved, as I am persuaded, that the prosperity of our country depends upon that circumstance alone; and in that hope I conclude, with the assurance of the invariable good wishes and affection of your brother, &c.
Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 29, 1796.
IMPORTANT.
This day the Resolution for making appropriations to carry into effect the Treaty with Great-Britain, was CARRIED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, in Committee of the Whole, by the casting vote of the Chairman, Mr. MUHLENBERG, Forty-Nine members rising on each side. The committee rose and reported the Resolution to the House; by an unanimous vote, the calling of the Ayes and Noes was postponed until To-morrow.
There is report from the West-Indies of a French frigate of 36 guns, having taken and carried into Guadalupe, an English 50 gun ship.

The officers elected for the ensuing year, are as follows.
Robert Morris, Esq. President.
Mr. Isaac Hazlehurst, Vice-President.
Richard Rundle, Treasurer.
John Vaughan, Philip Nicklin, Josiah Twamley, William Bell, John Travis, Robert E. Griffith, Ezekiel King, and Doctor Edward Cutbush, Stewards.

Extract of a letter, dated Baltimore, April 23.
The alarms and fears of people have in no degree abated since my last. There is a suspension of commercial business amounting to a virtual embargo. The prices of flour and grain fallen in a degree alarming to the holders, and must be ruinous to many without a speedy change. People are much disquieted by the intemperate debates of Congress, and I do believe it is generally feared the British Treaty will not be carried into effect. Your letter has a little revived my desponding spirits; but, from the debates, I fear your zeal and wishes for its success, have led to conclusions we shall not have realized. I am still convinced the great body of people with all impediments to the Treaty removed: if it is not carried into operation we shall experience divisions, disquietudes, and convulsions alarming to the Union. The people will be more disunited in regard to any measures our Government may adopt, towards the British, than ever—18 months or 2 years ago the country would with unanimity have consented to hostilities; but they have since experienced such a degree of prosperity under our neutrality, notwithstanding the injuries and insults committed on our trade, that they will engage reluctantly in hostile measures.
The people here seem in some degree to have dropped their party spirit, and become more united in their wishes for appropriations. The late meeting of the mechanics and manufacturers lead to no conclusions, when properly understood, unfavorable to this belief. Pique and pride at not being included in the invitation to merchants and traders, gave rise, I believe, to this meeting. The chairman, and it is said a great part of the members, had signed a paper but a little before directing Gen. Smith to endeavour to obtain the appropriations—the chairman himself was active in procuring signatures to instructions the opposite of what the meeting expresses.
I do not see, at present, what measures either the Senate or your House can adopt to carry the business into effect, if there should in the House of Representatives be a majority against it. I do most fervently hope a regard to the honor, happiness, prosperity, and unanimity of our country may prevail over party-spirit, selfish considerations, and jealous views; and that the decision of your House may be favorable to the wishes of the People. Please to give me every intelligence on this business, and I will inform you of any thing that may occur here worth noticing.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of Augusta (Georgia) to his friend in this city, dated April 12.
SINCE my last nothing of importance has turned up here. The sundry certificates you wished me to procure, cannot possibly be had at this time, because Clayton has not yet delivered over to Berrian a schedule of the monies in the treasury.
On my way from Washington I called at Louisville about 8 days ago to procure the papers you wanted, but Berrian was gone to Savannah and nothing could be done; by his agent upon examining the records in the Secretary's office, I find that the Ex-Senator has omitted to consume that part of the record which contained the mortgages, they remain entire, and being drawn up very specially they contain all the material parts of the law with a certificate on the face of them, that the purchase money has been paid in full. It will appear from the monies delivered over by the old to the new treasurer, that Gen. Jackson had one of his warrants paid out of the Taxoo money, the other it is said he kept for the purpose of paying taxes.
Peau is appointed the judge for this district but the whole bar agree that the appointment is illegal and unconstitutional. At Washington there could be no business done, from a defect in the jury, but as the court was opened I stated in open court my objections to the constitutionality of his commission and was supported by others of the bar, the objections alarmed him much and he adjourned after saying that they had weight, and he would give them an attentive consideration. It may truly be said that the state is in more confusion now than at any other period since the revolution. Letters from Savannah mention that the bar of that place have determined that there shall be no courts alleging a defect in the judiciary about the jurors oaths, they will by this to procure a call of the legislature, should they effect this the whole Chatham representation now hold offices and that county must have a new election or be unrepresented except by James Jones.
Extract of a letter, dated Greene County (Georgia) March 15.
Every thing here wears a peaceable aspect in
appearance, but I tremble to reflect on the real danger we are in of an Indian war, that must be attended with dreadful consequences in itself; but which may be infinitely aggravated, if the leaders in this plan, succeed in their attempts to involve their country in a civil war also. I am informed through a channel that I rely on, that an Indian war is determined on. The plan of bringing it about, and the manner of conducting it was laid last winter at Louisville.
An idea was to be circulated in the first place, that the general government was not in earnest to permit the state to purchase the Indian title to the Oconee lands; but were only amusing the people with the idea, when in fact they want to defeat it; and this is now generally believed all through the western country. To the next place no steps were to be taken to punish Harrison, in which case it was foreseen the Indians would retaliate, which they have done; and this would afford a pretence to raise troops, and declare the state to be invaded. Then, in case the Indians should agree to meet, contrary to expectation, the business would fail for want of funds; as they know the sum provided is insufficient, and that the fund out of which it was to be raised, would be unproductive. The treaty failing by these means, operations are to commence. The inhabitants of the frontier counties are to be carried over the Oconee river by particular leaders, the Indians they know will attack them, and the state having been already declared to be actually invaded by a resolution of assembly, the constitution authorizes the raising of an army. The governor then orders such a number of troops to be raised, under the command of general Jackson, as is thought sufficient to carry war into the Indian country, and at the same time any troops of the United States that can be suddenly called together to check them. Their language is, that it will require a large army to restrain the people, if the treaty does not take effect. All the parts of this plan have been hitherto exactly pursued. The people expect the treaty will not take place, which they say is owing to the want of sincerity in the general government; great numbers are ready, many of whom are actually encamped in huts on the Oconee, and the leaders of Jackson's party declare that in that case nothing can restrain them from going over the Oconee. The state has made no substantial provision for purchasing those lands, and if the Indians meet and are willing to sell, the state commissioners, of whom Jackson is one, are predetermined not to agree about the price. The resolution of the general assembly of the 15th of Feb 1796, says, "On the motion of James Jackson, Resolved unanimously, that his excellency the governor be earnestly requested to lay the unhappy situation of the frontiers of this state, before the President of the United States, and to require the aid of the general government, against savage invasion, which this state now experiences, and to assure him, that this state has viewed with with regret and indignation, the conduct of Benjamin Harrison, and others, &c. whom they will may be brought to a fair and speedy trial, agreeably to existing laws. The Governor is farther requested to lay before the President of the United States, the sincere will of this legislature, and of all ranks of citizens of the state, that the treaty with the Creek Indians, &c. should be proceeded on and held, which this legislature is assured will be the only means to establish and preserve a firm and lasting peace between the citizens of the United States, and the Creek Indians." Means being thus taken to defeat the treaty at all events, and a legislative decision, to satisfy that part of the constitution (Art. 1. sect. 8) which lays "That no state shall, without the consent of Congress, engage in war unless actually invaded," General Jackson declined the appointment to the Senate of the United States, having already given the government to a tool of his own, that he might have the execution, without the whole of the odium, of this plan. He, however, is a commissioner to defeat the treaty, and then to be appointed to the command of the army, to carry on the war. I am informed, from the best authority, that the Indians will not meet in a treaty in May; this is what they will; but if they do meet, there is no one step taken, nor have the means been provided, to have any chance of success, so that I see no possible way of escaping the ruin of this deep laid plan; for they will have gone so far, before any information can reach Philadelphia, that the war will become inevitable—and this is what they count on. What is to be done? The people are this way mostly in favor of their scheme, and every where so infatuated by the late proceedings, that it is impossible to be heard. I see no prospect but ruin and devastation in the neighborhood where I live."
COMMUNICATIONS.
The speech of Mr. Ames, on the Treaty, was certainly one of the most elegant and irresistible proofs of eloquence that perhaps was ever displayed. We rejoice that his state of indisposition has left him all of intellectual charms—perhaps has given them a tenderness of character the more touching. Such a blending of argument, fancy, and feeling, has very rarely indeed been seen. He was a fine ship, on a summer sea, decorated with her colours, and bearing a rich cargo of spices before a fair wind.
It would be astonishing, says a correspondent, if the People were to suffer the rich purchase of Independence "peace, liberty, and safety" to be wrested out of their hands, by a criminal apathy to proceedings which are portentous of more and greater evils than imagination can conceive of.
A correspondent says it is a fact that the Aurora is constantly sent to the British minister, who takes every convenient opportunity to read it to the members of parliament, to induce them to continue the war. Urging that even under the happy equal government of the United States disorganizing Jacobin principles threaten the destruction of the public tranquility; and adds our correspondent, the effect has been consonant to the object of the minister.
I do not know a circumstance which gave more pleasure to the friends of "Order," than to find Mr. Ames again defending the white and colored people of his
men, yesterday, in the House of Representatives. I hope his speech has been carefully taken down, that his elegant and sublime comparisons may be published with accuracy and precision. How beautifully harmonious to observe the melody of the sound transcended by the copiousness and justness of his arguments! But what gave his reasoning and voice and action a still higher sell, was, to find old grinning Cassius (immediately after the mellifluous orator had concluded) mouthing some whining remarks, which he had distilled out of B' Albert's old Gin-Still, at the foot of the Allegheny mountain. Yet there can be no doubt but this full-gorg'd b g tr-t-r had his Earlings in Congress, as well as in Braddock's field, who listened with avidity to this son of "treasons and stratagems, airs," and amongst these our ——— member, alias Jack Certificate, alias the little monster of ingratitude, was one of his prime bearers and applauders. I think Jack Stanza is almost done over—for if he once had eminent friends (and he certainly had, or he would still be nothing more than a mere arrantive coon) they have all deserted him; and I am much mistaken if the whole State will not return him, at the next general election, to his primitive political nothingness: but even then I suspect the compliant Sharp will, out of respect to Jack's father, invest the Son with the Family Coat of Arms, and perhaps out of gratitude to Skunk, and his speech-writing friend, the Doctor, commission him and appoint my dear Johnny, Diator to the Club of Inspectors at Guzze Hall. In the mean time, until the fate-deciding vote is taken in the House, what a dilemma is my merchant in! For, by the best account, he cannot have less than £100,000 of merchandise now lying on board his vessels in this harbour, bound for England, which he can neither sell his ——— for nor obtain insurance for all risks, nor suffer it to depart uncovered, and consequently unprotected; besides immense property afloat, lying at the hazardous issue of his and his beloved colleagues crooked and damned policy. Is such a man (if man he can be deemed) as this, fit to rule and mar the happiness of this great and growing empire? Look around you, countrymen—The notable bins are thrown out from the hardy sons of the East. Let us unite with virtuous States, and be a wall of defence and a bulwark to each other, and for all honest men. The season of Danger says "tis time to part" from Gamblers, Slave-Keepers, and Italian Gladiators—and then (the sooner the better) let "their wisdoms and betternesses" set up a single branch government to the southward, where Great Albert shall shine the illustrious Prince of Darkness, anarchy and delusion, and little Johnny be his Scribe.

To give a proper idea of the Plan of this Work, the fol- lowing is extracted from the Advertisement of the Author:
"I imagine a Scythian, named ANACHARSIS, to ar- rive in Greece, some years before the birth of Alexander; and that from Athens, the usual place of his residence, he makes several excursions into the neighbouring provinces; every where observing the manners and customs of the inhabitants, being present at their festivals, and studying the nature of their governments; sometimes dedicating his leisure to enquiries relative to the progress of the hu- man mind, and sometimes conversing with the great men who flourished at that time; with Epaminondas, Phocion, Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, &c. As soon as he has seen Greece enslaved by Philip, the father of Alexan- der, he returns into Scythia, where he puts in order an ac- count of his travels; and to prevent any interruption in his narrative, relates in an introduction the memorable events which had passed in Greece before he left Scythia." "I have chosen to write a narrative of Travels ra- ther than a history, because in such a narrative all is sce- nery and action; and because circumstantial details may be entered into which are not permitted to the historian."

SPECIMEN of ELEGANT PRINTING.
John Thompson & Abr. Small,
RESPECTFULLY inform such persons as admire, and would wish to encourage any improvement in those arts, which are an ornament to a state; that after much expense and great attention, they have printed for public inspection, the first number of their newly FINISHED
Hot-Pressed BIBLE,
Which they believe to be the most beautiful production of its nature, hitherto seen.
Similar works in Europe have for some years been li- berally patronized—they have had an honorable place in the libraries of men of taste—the present production is an attempt to show, that in America, works can be executed in every respect equal to the efforts of trans-atlantic genius. From the warm approbation that has been bestowed on it by some of the first characters, the proprietors are war- ranted in saying, they have been successful.
It claims patronage as being wholly American—the pa- per, by far the best ever used here, in printing, is made within a few miles of this city—the types, which are tri- bly beautiful, are also American—and the whole apparatus for hot pressing, has been procured from different parts of the Union: It is also the CHEAPEST HOT-PRESSED BIBLE ever printed in any country. The first number may be inspected at No. 34, Carter's alley; or at No. 98, Union street.
It is proposed to deliver the whole in Forty Numbers, at One Half Dollar each—one of which will be completed every two weeks. April 25. *2a&3w.

As soon after the above time, as one thousand copies are subscribed for, the printing shall commence, and shall be finished as speedily as possible.  VII. Subscriptions received by the Author, No. 118, Market-street, and by the chief Booksellers through- out the United States. 
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE object of the proposed work is, to present to public view a connected series of the chief events of a period of American history, that does not yield, in im- portance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful annals of any country in the world.
Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he shall endeavour to satisfy, the writer is thus early in announ- cing, that the body and consistence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work: neither his talents nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His hum- bler task shall be to sketch out the most prominent fea- tures. It shall be his study to collect and arrange the most interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path- for abler hands, who, by such means, will find their la- bours abridged, and their progress accelerated.
His chief view will be, to give the History of the Uni- ted States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, no- tice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information shall be classed under sepa- rate appendices.
The Author solicits the assistance of such Gentlemen as may be possessed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They shall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and safely returned. February 9. 1aw1t

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 draw- ings, 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 adventu- rers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net 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 determin- ed to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as secu- rity.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prize 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 num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects 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: fulfillment indispensable.
