LONDON, November 17.
It was from the fullest conviction that the dearest Rights of the People, and the safety of the consti- tution, on which the existence of those rights de- pends, most imperiously called for the adoption of decisive measures, for the suppression of seditious meetings and inflammatory publications, that we originally suggested the propriety of enacting laws for the accomplishment of that salutary purpose. Daily experience serves to strengthen our convic- tion, and the very nature of the opposition to the bills before parliament, demonstrates, in the most forcible point of view, the absolute necessity of the measure. At no period did the metropolis swarm with so many preachers of sedition; at no period were so many inflammatory publications published and circulated; at no period did Treason assume so many shapes and forms, and such a bold and confi- dent aspect. While the secretaries of the societies publicly disavow all treasonable intentions, the in- dividual members glory in their infamy, and boast of their crimes. Regular sections and divisions are still maintained among them; delegates are sent to different parts of the kingdom, for the purpose of making converts;—all the hated forms and appella- tions of the Gallic Regicides are preferred.—One of their delegates lately boasted, that he could bring 40,000 Miners to their support; and another, de- puted to Newcastle, flatters himself with similar suc- cess among the Colliers.
The very mode of their justification establishes their guilt. At their last meeting at Copenhagen- house, and on the 9th of November, their leaders issued their mandates for the preservation of tran- quility in the metropolis, and tranquility was pre- served; while, previous to the 29th of October, no such mandate was issued; and it was a matter of public boast and public exultation, with many mem- bers of the societies, and with many of their friends, that the king should be attended to Parliament by 250,000 people!—The event is known.—Thus it is proved, beyond all possibility of doubt, that there exists a power in the kingdom superior to the laws; and from the circumstances we have adduced, every honest and rational man will conclude, that such power is assumed and exercised by the seditious so- cieties. Their suppression, therefore, becomes a matter of such infinite importance, that we have only this alternative—Either to suppress them, or to suffer the Constitution to be destroyed. We are the more anxious to impress this truth on the mind of every true-born Englishman, as we are convin- ced, that on the issue of the present struggle, in which faction, falsehood, and misrepresentation, are opposed to loyalty, truth, and facts, all that a well-formed soul holds dear in life, ultimately depends.
To these observations we shall only subjoin the following fact: At a late debate at one of the se- ditious meetings, presided by a member of the Cor- responding Society, it was formally resolved, that the act of passing a Convention-bill, absolved sub- jects from the criminality of Rebellion; in other words, from their oaths of allegiance.—Let Britons reflect seriously on these proceedings, and act with that spirit and decision which the temper of the times so strongly demands.
As friends to good government, and to public tranquility, we earnestly recommend it to those who have an opportunity, carefully to read the bill now depending in parliament, for preventing seditious meetings, as the best answer to the misrepresen- tations which Anarchists have circulated against it.— We solicit the attention of those, who have not such opportunity, to the following short, but correct out- line of it.
In the first place, the first clause of the bill ex- pressly excepts from its operation all county meet- ings, all meetings of corporate bodies, as well as meet- ings of every kind, called by any two magistrates.
The bill, in fact, applies only to such other meet- ings, the object of which, real or pretended, is the redress of some public grievance, or some alteration in church or state.
The bill merely requires, that a public notice should be given of such intended meetings, (as is the constant practice of all regular public meetings) not summoning magistrates to attend, but enabling them to do so by such notice, should they have rea- son to suspect a seditious intent in such meetings.
Should such seditious intent appear evident from proceedings held at such meeting, two magistrates are empowered by the bill to dissolve it, for the ex- ercise of which discretionary power they are respon- sible to courts of law.
Persons who mean to read lectures on political subjects, and for money, and no others, are requir- ed to apply for a licence to do so, signed by two magistrates.—The whole bill is temporary.
Short Observations.
This is not a bill to inflict pains and penalties, but merely a bill of prevention; to increase the securi- ty of his Majesty's royal person, (which the late diabolical attempt on his life makes absolutely ne- cessary) to maintain the public tranquility, and to preserve the constitution. There is no additional power whatever given by the bill to government, or to either House of Parliament; but only a power, to be exercised discretionally, to a description of gentlemen, perhaps the most independent in the kingdom. The right of petitioning to the King, or to parliament, remains exactly as the bills finds it. The necessity of procuring a licence to read po- litical lectures, is by no means so strong a measure as the licensing of play-houses, which has never been objected to. The bill is only meant to con- tinue in force till that spirit of sedition and treason, which turbulent clubs have unfortunately been too successful in exciting, shall have subsided.
Let the public consider this measure with attention, and without prejudice, and judge for itself.
December 1.
A private letter received yesterday from Munster, dated the 17th inst. informs us, that gen. Warten- sleben has had a battle with gen. Jourdan, near the Moselle, and that after forcing him to retreat, the Austrians took the Chartroué, near Coblenz. The French troops which had lately advanced again to- wards the Lahn, have been driven back.
The elector of Saxony, it is said, has sent to the imperial army, 16 squadrons of horse, and eight battalions of infantry, to replace the troops which he had recalled.
The Prussians have evacuated Frankfort, and an imperial regiment has marched into that city.
The Afrea frigate is bringing general Paoli to England from Cruxhaven.
The quantity of cannon taken at the Cape of Good Hope, amounts to 430 pieces and 18 brass mortars, with an almost incalculable quantity of am- munition.
OPERATIONS ON THE RHINE.
Official bulletin of the Imperial Army, under the orders of field marshal Clairfayt.
Head-quarters, Pfederheim, Nov. 11.
Intelligence having been received that general Pichegru, with his whole army, had advanced as far as the Pfheim, and taken post between Worms and the Donnersberg (Thunder Mountain) it was resolved to attack him in this position, as soon as the reinforcement expected from the Upper Rhine should have crossed that river. This corps having on the 9th instant, formed a junction with the grand army, early in the morning of the 10th, a general attack was made on the enemy's whole line, whilst the army in three columns advanced towards the Pfheim. General count Wartenleben pushed for- wards from Alzey to Kirrheim Poland, carried that important post, and took post on the heights of Mashrim, whilst at the same time general count Nauendorf advanced as far as Gelheim. In the mean time, gen. Kray, at the head of the van- guard, harried and amused the enemy, greatly superior in numbers, until the arrival of the three columns, which immediately formed the line of bat- tle.
The first line then advanced under the protec- tion of our grape shot batteries, on the heights of Fleersheim, and the enemy's batteries having been silenced by the fire of our artillery, the villages sit- uated on the Pfheim were stormed. Our intrepid infantry forced them with fixed bayonets, and took post on the neighbouring heights. Pichegru for- ced by this manœuvre, after having made an obli- gate resistance, and sustained considerable loss, to abandon the field of battle, retreated at the fall of night with his whole army behind the Elbach, and further into the position between Neustadt and Durkham, after having rendered impassable all the avenues of the Pfheim, and of course prevented us from following them during the darkness of the night. Worms was abandoned, and at the break of day the flying enemy was out of our reach.— Before the arrival of our columns the enemy made several attempts against the left wing of our van-guard, and especially against the battalion of Clairfayt, which suffered them to approach within musket-shot, then fired a general discharge, and ad- vanced against the enemy's horse with fixed bayo- nets, which forced them to retreat. Our cavalry charged several times with the greatest success, and in general all our troops fought with their usual gallantry, steadiness, and order. We have made 500 prisoners, among whom are several officers, and taken some pieces of cannon. Our army is now encamped on the right banks of the Pfheim, be- tween Pfederheim and Wackenheim.—Gen. Kray is at Grunstadt—field marshal Latour, with whom he acts in concert, is near Frankenthal—and gen. Nauendorf at Gelheim.

HORSE GUARDS, November 3.
Extract of a letter from vice admiral, the hon. Sir G. K. Elphinstone, K. B. to Mr. Secretary Dundas, dated on board his majesty's ship Mon- arch, Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope, Sep- tember 23.
"I have the honor to inform you, that on the 3d inst. the India ships from St. Salvador, arrived in False Bay; his majesty's ship Sphinx, which failed with them, having met with an accident was obliged to return to the former place for repair."
"On the 4th, Gen. Clarke came into the har- bour, and on a conference with him, it was de- termined to land the troops without a moment's loss of time; but, notwithstanding the utmost ex- ertion of the troops and seamen, it was the 14th before provision, guns, ammunition, &c. could be collected to enable the general to move forward from the camp at Muysenberg."
"On the morning of that day the army march- ed, each man carrying 4 days provisions, and the volunteer seamen from the India ships dragging the cannon through a deep sand; the country being difficult to proceed on, they were considerably gal- led by the enemy during a fatiguing march, per- formed in hot weather."
"At Wynenberg, the bulk of the Dutch made a stand, but were soon dislodged by his majesty's forces, and nearly at the same moment, commodore Blankett, whom I had previously detached for the express purpose of alarming the enemy, and giving a diversion on the Cape-Town side, appeared off Camp's Bay, with the America, Echo, Rat- tle-snake, and Bombay Castle India ship, and per- formed the service in the completest manner."
"At eleven, P. M. the commissary Sluyskin sent a flag of truce, to demand a cessation of arms for forty eight hours; and on the following morn- ing the colony was surrendered to his majesty."
ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.
It having been represented to us that the utmost confusion must ensue in the colony, and that it would, in all probability, be attended with the en- tire ruin of it, if the paper money now circulating in it were deprived of that security which can a- lone give any effect to the eighth article, we therefore consent, that the lands and houses, the property of the Dutch East India Company, in this settlement, shall continue the security of that part of the money which is not already secured by mortgages upon the estates of individuals, by its having been lent to them. This is to be, however, without prejudice to the government of Great Britain, having the use of the buildings, &c. for public purposes. And we will further repre- sent to his majesty's government, the infinite im- portance of the subject to the future prosperity of this colony, and request that they will take it in- to consideration, in order to make such arrange- ment as may appear proper for its further security, if necessary, or for its liquidation, if practicable.
PFEDERSHEIM, Nov. 12.
The following is the official account of the affair between the advanced posts which took place near Frankenthal, on the 11th of Nov.
The enemy advanced yesterday, with a great quantity of artillery, a battalion of Latour, forming the advanced post near Frankenthal.— Count Latour being with a column of the army on his march thither, immediately dispatched Col. Count Klenau, with 5 squadrons of Wurmfier, & a battery of cavalry, for the purpose of sup- porting that advanced post, upon which the enemy announced very violently. Barons Tonou and St. Quentin availed themselves of this favorable mo- ment by turning Frankenthal to the right and thereby falling on the enemy's rear, of whom they took 3 cannon, 2 howitzers, and several ammuni- tion carts; they cut a number of the enemy in pieces, and took some prisoners.
The enemy was pursued as far as Oggersheim; at which place they left their advanced posts, and retreated, for the greatest part to Neustadt, at which place Pichegru, with his head quarters had arrived before. After which Count Latour enter- ed the camp of Bodenheim, and placed his advan- ced posts near Neckelsheim. The patrols of gen- erals Naudendorff and Kray brought in some pris- oners.
The advantage thus obtained is of more conse- quence, as the enemy had resolved upon attacking the imperial army with the armies of Pichegru and Jourdan combined, and to drive them conju- nctly from the borders of the Nahe and the Primm.
MAYENCE, Nov. 12 (in the evening.)
We are this moment informed, that the Aus- trian advanced posts are already at Kaiserst utern. The head quarters of Count de Clairfayt were this morning at Worms; but it is determined to push forward. The loss of the enemy in the action of the 10th must have been very considerable; several masked batteries which were played with great effect, spread great disorder through their ranks: Among the prisoners were several Carabineers.— The enemy attempted yesterday to make a diver- sion, by menacing the body of prince de Hohen- lohe towards Nahr; they even succeeded in repul- sing some advanced posts near Krentzenbach, but the reinforcements sent to that general enabled him to resume his original position before Nahe, and to oppose their further progress.
The enemy attempted likewise on the 9th to harass Bingen; they advanced from the wood sit- uated beyond the Nahe, and penetrated to the banks of that river, but a diversion of the troops of Bamberg and of Mayence who were at Bingen, were immediately dispatched from that quarter.— After a brisk engagement, they repulsed the en- emy beyond the mountain, and took twenty pris- oners.
At Frankenthal our troops got possession of the flying artillery of the enemy; they likewise took three French commissioners prisoners. At Worms a very considerable magazine fell into our hands. The enemy did not pillage this city upon evacu- ating it, but they took hostages.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, February 26.
Mr. Sedgwick presented four memorials com- plaining of undue proceedings in the election of one of the members of the House: these being read, it appeared that they referred to Mr. Varnum, member from the second district of Massachusetts. These memorials import, that a number of votes had been received at the election from persons who were not qualified to vote, by which means Mr. Varnum was returned as having the highest number of votes.
On motion of Mr. Varnum, these petitions were referred to the committee of elections. Mr. Var- num remarked, that these petitions were in pur- suance of a plan laid before he left home, but car- ried into effect since. He had not heard of the petitions till this morning.
In committee of the whole, on the bill author- izing a loan for the use of the city of Washing- ton,
Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair.
Mr. Venable's motion for striking out the first and second sections, in order to admit the substitute he proposed, was agreed to, 40 to 32.
Mr. Venable then proposed an amendment to the third section, to conform it to the spirit of the substitute, by making the lots the appropriate fund for the basis of the loan.
Mr. Smith, (N. H.) objected to the amend- ment; he said it did not go far enough. The scope of his argument went to shew, that the pro- perty contemplated as a fund for the security of the United States, was not so situated as that it could be so appropriated. The property is absolutely vested as a fee simple in the commissioners, and not as a trust; and unless there should be a conveyance of this property either to the United States or to the person under whose superintendence the loan is to be made, the property is no kind of security whatever; and he was fully of opinion that to con- sider the fund in the light contemplated by the a- mendment, the government could have no control over it whatever—he was satisfied that it would be dissipated, and the United States would have to pay the whole of the loan which they should guar- antee.
Mr. Venable said the gentleman entirely mistook the principle on which the commissioners held the property—Adverting to the law for establishing the permanent seat of the government, he insisted that the lots were held by the commissioners in trust only, for the use and benefit of the United States, and the President of the United States has a full and perfect control over the same.
Mr. Smith, (N. H.) recurring to the law, read the two sections referred to, and from thence de- duced this conclusion, that the United States had not, in the remotest degree, the right of the pro- perty in question vested in them: the law empowers the President of the United States only to

authorized by the law to accept any grants of land, but only grants of money.
Mr. D. Foster called for the reading of the deed of trust or conveyance which had been so repeatedly referred to. This was accordingly read.
Mr. Giles said he was satisfied with the bill as it stood. The only difference between the substitute and the bill is this, that the bill provided for the conveyance of the property to the United States, whereas the substitute contemplates leaving the property as it is, under the direction of the commissioners. He agreed with the gentleman from New Hampshire, that a good and legal conveyance could be made by the commissioners; but as the substitute had been agreed to, he saw no material difference in the actual operation of the thing; he did not think that there would be any hesitation on the part of purchasers, whether the sales were made by the commissioners, by themselves, or by direction from the President of the United States. He wished the discussion to proceed;—if the committee should think the objection of importance, the bill might be re-committed.
Mr. Nicholas adverted to the act of conveyance, recited a passage from which he said it was apparent the property stands precisely in the situation which gentlemen would wish it.
Mr. Havens said he did not perfectly comprehend the subject, but it appeared to him that there was an essential variation in the title of the deed of conveyance from that of the law for establishing the permanent seat of government.
Mr. Dayton said that from what had fallen from the gentleman from N. H. it appears that the commissioners were vested with the fee simple of the lots, if so, it was a total uncertainty whether the United States had or could have the least control over the property. If this was the case, he never would give his assent to the bill. The commissioners may refuse to sell or convey. The title to the property ought to be better understood. He considered the business as being highly important, and that the House ought to proceed with great caution and deliberation, and not decide without more information than they were at present in possession of.
Mr. Hillhouse proposed an amendment, the object of which was to place the subject on a footing that could not be misconstrued.
Mr. Brent, recurred to the law, and read the clauses, relative to the grants of land, and of money. With respect to the first, the law vests a discretionary power in the President to dispose of the property in such a way as to answer the several objects of the law, in the best manner. The deed of conveyance goes no further than this: Adverting to the deed, he said it expressly provides for the disposition of the net produce of the sales, as the President of the United States may direct; and the commissioners cannot make any use of it for any purpose that they are not authorized to by the President. Hence he concluded that there was no force in the objection drawn from the deed of trust, nor any ground for fear on this point.
Mr. Swift observed, that there appeared to be such a diversity of opinion relative to the nature of the deed of conveyance, that he conceived it was almost impossible for gentlemen to determine what was the actual state of the security, on which the loan is to be raised.—He moved therefore that the committee should rise.
Mr. Brent opposed the motion: he was rather disposed to attribute this desire of procrastination to a settled determination on the part of some gentlemen not to give their assent to the bill in any shape whatever.
Mr. Crabb said he admired the attention of the gentleman from Connecticut, in his watchful care over the treasury of the United States, but to what purpose is this delay? What is asked, it is simply to guarantee a loan, that is all. To what purpose then the flowers of rhetoric, and declamation. If gentlemen mean something more than they express, let them come forward and kick the bill out of the House. If they intend this, let them say so, and we shall then know on what ground we stand; we shall then be able to meet them on the ground of argument, but to what purpose are the amendments on amendments brought forward, but to perplex and deceive? Mr. Crabb then alluded to what had fallen from Mr. Williams, relative to the grants made to the federal city. Mr. Williams had insinuated, he said, that these grants were so far from a gift that they were a benefit to the donors. Mr. Crabb asked if the gentleman had never heard of the grants made by the states of Maryland and Virginia, seventy thousand dollars by the former, and 120,000 dollars by the latter? The gentleman said that he blushed as a republican at the grandeur of the federal edifices. I believe said he, that we shall look a good while before we see the gentleman blush.
The committee rose, and the bill was re-committed.—On motion four members were added to the committee.
Mr. Livingston brought in a report relative to the improvement of American seamen, which was twice read, and committed to the committee of the whole House on Monday next: Interim to be printed.
Mr. Dearborn moved that the committee on the loan bill, be instructed to this purport, that they enquire, whether any, and what alterations would be proper to be made in the plan adopted for the public buildings in the city of Washington, and to report.
Mr. Murray said he hoped the motion would not be agreed to. He conceived it was useless—No alteration could now take place without great waste and loss. The gentleman does not propose that the buildings should be pulled down. They are now raised and progressed to a considerable extent. They have not cost the United States any thing. They have progressed thus far, thro' the generous donations of two particular states, and he submitted it to the consideration of the gentleman whether it would be perfectly delicate to interfere in the plan, which had been adopted by those states.
Mr. Dearborn said if the committee, on enquiry, should not find any alterations advisable or practicable they would report accordingly. He thought there was no impropriety in the enquiry. With
the propriety of a full investigation into the subject became proper, and he did not conceive that in this situation of the business, it could not be considered as indicate, it was no more than adopting a proper mode to obtain information.
Mr. Crabb objected to the motion. He thought the proposed enquiry very improper. The law said he, has appointed the President of the United States to manage this business. Suppose the enquiry were to take place, and the buildings are found on too large a scale, shall they be pulled down, and smaller ones erected? If gentlemen were indulged, where would their enquiries end? He read the message of the President to the House on the subject, wherein he says the sale of the lots will be equal to the expence of the buildings. It would be well, he said, if gentlemen would gain a little more information on subjects, before they brought them forward. If this had been the case, he thought much of the debate which had occupied the House for several days might have been saved.
Mr. Dearborn acknowledged he lacked information, but that he had attended, without effect, to gain it from his accuser.
Mr. Bourne supported the motion. He conceived that it was strictly proper; the information may be of essential use in governing the decisions of the House in the future discussion of the bill. It is apparent that the supposed extravagance in erecting the public buildings has influenced in clogging the progress of the bill. Perhaps the suggestions which have been started are unfounded, if they are it will appear so. If not they may propose practicable retrenchments, in either case useful information will be obtained.
Mr. Murray hoped that the motion for this instruction to the Committee would not succeed.—The mover had wished for information upon the present state of the public buildings and to know their dimensions, to this he had nothing to oppose but the remark that if the information which was then on the clerk's table could not satisfy him, the time to obtain more from the city would be too long in all reason. On the table he could find the elevation of the Congress House and its dimensions, and he believed of the house for the executive also. Were the object of the motion to obtain this sort of knowledge through the committee, and that the only object, he should have considered it as merely unnecessary and opposed it as it would uselessly accumulate business for the committee and prove a source of delay; but he opposed this motion because it did not demand information merely, but the opinion of the committee whether any, and what alteration was necessary in those buildings. This being the motion he considered it as embarking the house in a principle new and dangerous to the city of Washington. It was the assumption of a power of controlling and of departing from a plan warranted by law, and to the implicit execution of which the faith of the government, through the President acting by his commissioners was completely and solemnly plighted. If you have a right to dictate alterations in any part of that city, then have those who have embarked their whole fortunes under the faith of the act of Congress from whose construction a discretionary power in the President upon this subject was deduced, been in a state of delusion. But he denied the power of the house to act in this way consistently with good faith. The President had the city laid off, he had power to do so. Men of taste, architects of ability and engineers were he presumed consulted as to the plan; sites were determined on for the public buildings; squares, streets and avenues were laid off, each object bore its relation to the other, so as to raise the value of the whole. Individuals have bought property there whose value must result from the completion of the place upon which they speculated. Defeat, derange that plan and you do a violence to that faith in which purchasers vested. If the motion seeks mere information it is present. If it asks opinion, it implies a power of alteration and this will vitiate the spirit of the institution. If defects do exist, it is too late to rectify them, and it would be profusion to do it in the way he had heard.
Mr. Thatcher was in favor of general instructions to the committee, and not those of a minute and particular nature. He considered that a minute enquiry involved very extensive consequences, such as he believed were not contemplated by any person whatever.
Mr. Giles proposed a substitute of a more general nature. The motion before the House proposes that the committee should report opinions; his was for a report of facts.
Mr. Dearborn said the motion just read did not go far enough.
Mr. Swanwick was in favor of a minute enquiry into the whole business.
Mr. Gallatin thought that the report should contain not only a state of facts, but also of opinions founded on those facts. Mr. Gallatin said the motion of the gentleman from Virginia did not embrace the object so fully as that moved by the gentleman from Massachusetts. In reply to what had been said relative to the exclusive right to manage the business, on the part of the President, he remarked, that the law had made it the duty of the President to cause the buildings to be erected; and this he had a right to do without consulting the legislature while the expence was confined to the grants by the states of Maryland and Virginia—But there was one check in the business, and that was in agitating the grant of money on the part of the Union; here the ground was changed, and a right on the part of the government to enquire into the business was the consequence. He was therefore in favor of the first motion, as it went to enquire into facts, but also provided for a declaration of opinions founded on those facts.
Mr. Coit hoped the motion would prevail. He recited some of the expences which had taken place. These were so extravagant as to occasion great part of the opposition to the bill.
Mr. Giles here read his substitute, with some additions extending the compass of it.
Mr. Murray offered some further objections to the motion: The more he heard it discussed, the more he disliked it. He did
Mr. Crabb said he saw no use in the enquiry, but to produce endless and unproductive debates.
Mr. Cooper opposed the motion. He said that all the government had to do in the business was to guarantee the loan, and to secure the eventual reimbursement of it by the lots.
Mr. Sedgwick observed, that contemplating the removal of the government as settled by law, he had thought it but reasonable that the government should guarantee a loan for completing the public buildings necessary for the accommodation of congress on the principles which he had stated. But with respect to the size or elegance of those buildings, erected not at their expence, he very much doubted the propriety of investigating the enquiry proposed. It would, he conceived, have a very singular appearance for the government to say that these buildings are too large, too commodious, or too elegant. He did not care, for his part, how accommodating they were.
Mr. Dearborn's motion was agreed to, 42 to 38.
Mr. Giles's resolution being called for, it was put and carried, to the following effect:
"That the said committee shall be instructed to enquire into the state of the Public Buildings at the permanent seat of Government of the United States, into the expence already incurred in erecting, and the probable expence of completing the same."
Mr. New of the committee of enrolment, informed the House that they had this day laid before the President of the United States for his approbation, the act for the relief of Benjamin Strother.
Mr. Richards had leave of absence for one week. Adjourned.

BENNINGTON, (Vermont.) January 30. Philad. 5th Jan. 1796.
SIR, I had this day the honor to receive your letter of the 20th ult. in behalf of the Bennington county convention, enclosing a resolution of that Convention of the same date, expressive of their wish that Mr. Smith and myself would use our best endeavors to obtain the sense of Congress upon the constitutionality of the late treaty with Great Britain. Impressed with the same sense of the value of that liberty and independence for which we have so successfully struggled, and in defence of which I have suffered so much, which you express: I cheerfully listen to the voices of my fellow citizens and friends, in the county of Bennington, upon the subject of the treaty—I regret the diversity of sentiment, productive of unhappy consequences, which has taken place upon that subject.—The question will undoubtedly come before Congress in the course of this session, and I shall without regard to party or place if it was only for my own satisfaction, most assiduously apply myself to the investigation of it? whatever may be the result of my enquiry, my own judgment must be my guide; for though I consider as you do, that I am placed here as one of the Representatives from the State of Vermont at large, and that it is the right of freemen, to become acquainted with the exposition, and true meaning of the constitutions of government by them adopted, and as understood by their legal representatives. Yet, as you have confided to me a trust, and delegated to me power, to act, I must faithfully exercise that power, according to my best judgment and ability; and when I have industriously employed my small talents to investigate any subject—have made up my mind and am called upon to act, I must decide and act as I should rationally conclude my constituents would do, were they acting with integrity and uprightness, under the same impressions and view of the subjects as I myself at the time possess.
I have a grateful sense of the confidence which you are pleased to repose in me, and consider it as an additional obligation to endeavor still to deserve it—I am sensible that as we have adopted the constitution, it is now to be considered as the expression of the will of the great body of the sovereign people, and as such it is the palladium of our liberty, and it would be treason to violate it.
I have the honor to be, Sir, With sentiments of esteem, Your most obedient, and humble servant, D. BUCK.
P. S. As many in Vermont, whose opinions I respect, have already decided on the treaty, If I should have the misfortune in finally making up my opinion to differ from them in sentiment, I will do myself the honor to send you a statement of the reasons on which I found my judgment. D. BUCK.

Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1796.
The legislature of Rhode-Island has written to the legislature of Virginia on the subject of their amendments to the Federal Constitution, in which they inform them, in substance, that in their opinion, the Constitution has not been sufficiently tried to justify attempting to make the amendments they propose.
Yesterday, in the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. HAMILTON, late Secretary of the Treasury, made a most eloquent speech in support of the Constitutionality of the Carriage-Tax—He spoke for three hours, and the whole of his argument was clear, impressive, and classical. The audience, which was very numerous, and among whom were many foreigners and many of the members of Congress, was much interested in his argument.
Yesterday the following Resolution, with the Preamble, passed the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
Whereas the people of the United States have, under their present Constitution, enjoyed many eminent advantages, in as much as they have thereby been secured in the blessings of liberty and domestic tranquility, and have experienced from its influence an unparalleled degree of prosperity, especially in their agricultural and commercial pursuits: And whereas, it would be highly improper to risk a continuance of these inestimable blessings and advantages, by making any alterations in the said Constitution, by the operation of which we are thus prosperously situated, until some disadvantages are found to result therefrom; therefore
Resolved, That it is unnecessary and improper for this House to take any measures to procure to the Constitution of the United States the alterations proposed by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
On the Resolution, Yea. Nays. On the Preamble, 45 30 4* 24
Our Jacobins have been called a faction. They complain of this, and say they are not a faction, but the people. So said the Jacobins of France. But the French nation were not always to be deceived by such means:—they drove these blood-drinkers out of their dens:—The public opinion of this country, tho' abhorrent to the shedding of blood, is no less decisive against jacobinism. The mobs and absurd resolutions in the large towns, have been discountenanced by the plain and sensible farmers; and thus jacobinism has been confined, with the yellow fever, to dark alleys and the neighborhood of unwholesome docks. The great interest of the country is peace; and the great body of the country people, as well as the men of worth, sense and property, in the sea-ports, have shown a strong support of the measures that tend to preserve it. Faction has been defined an adherence to interests, inconsistent with the general interest: What then are clubs, to influence elections, and mobs, to overawe a peace-making government, but faction, rank faction? and as such to be detested and suppressed.
It turns out, that those who made the noise about the British Treaty are not the people. The signers of petitions are but as a drop to the ocean. So much clamour, so much lying, so much running, riding and mobbing, and so few names! what can prove more pointedly that the party is weak? Yet more proof to the same point is at hand, tho' it is not needed:—the States, Virginia excepted, raise their patriotic voices against the disorganizers.
Now, citizen Democrats, as the people are deciding against you, will you persevere against the people? You say (when you expect to raise disturbance by saying it) the voice of the people is the voice of God! Respect that voice, so loudly and solemnly expressed—forbear to raise your wicked hands against this government which they appointed, and which you perceive they resolve still to maintain. You fancy you could delude a majority of one branch of Congress to stop the motions of that government, and to obstruct the lawful doings of the other two branches—will not the people hold you responsible for the anarchy and confusion that will ensue? will they not in vengeance require their government at your parricide hands!
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO.
ONE of the learned Counsel against the Constitutionality of the Carriage Tax, very candidly admitted, that Congress have full dominion over all the resources of the United States; but at the same time took infinite pains to shew the extreme difficulty of exercising this power with impartiality. He seems, however, to have lost sight of one maxim, which is, that in a choice of difficulties, the least exceptionable mode ought to obtain the preference. What tax, for instance, can be more congenial to our republican form of government, than the one calculated to reach the most wealthy class of people? Are they not better able to bear the burthen than the poorer class?—Again, What higher proof can be required of a man's ability to pay taxes than his title of living? Is there not good reason to conclude that he who keeps an equipage is richer than he who has none? most certainly.
The learned Counsel further observed—that the amount of the tax might operate to banish out of use the articles upon which it was laid. When experience shall prove this to be the result, it will be time enough to repeal the tax, provided the article itself is of public utility. But I will ask the learned Counsel, whether it is a fact within his own knowledge, that since the high duty imposed on playing Cards, there is one pack less used in Virginia—I might propose a similar question with respect to carriages. The truth is, that when people indulge themselves in bad habits, either from motives of pride or indolence, they are not to be easily restrained therefrom by taxation. For my own part Mr. Fenno, I should not be sorry to see the duty on carriages increased so as to amount to a prohibition; for I have no idea, that those citizens who cannot afford to ride, are to be suffocated in dry weather, with the dust raised by the carriage wheels of these pretended advocates of equality.

SCHEME of the LOTTERY, No. II, FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize amount, Number of Prizes, Total amount. Includes prizes of 20,000, 15,000, 10,000, etc.
16,739 Prizes. 33,261 Blanks. 50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 400,000
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 rows on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A 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 determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the 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 number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The Synod of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the share suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.

Bank of Columbia,
FEBRUARY 12th, 1796.
A late act of the General Assembly making some alterations in the Charter of the Bank of Columbia (but not to have effect until the consent of the Stockholders in the said Bank be given at a general meeting, and transmitted, under their corporate seal, to the governor and council) being too long for insertion in a newspaper, I am directed by the President and Directors to notify the Stockholders of the alteration, as follows:
By the original law, the Stock of the Bank of Columbia is to consist of 10,000 shares of 100 dollars each, to be paid by annual instalments of 10 dollars on each share, except the first three payments, which are directed to be made, and which have accordingly been made, at shorter periods. A failure in making any of the payments required by the law, operates a forfeiture of all preceding payments.
The late act provides that the Stockholders may pay up, as soon as they think proper, the several instalments due to become due on their shares, or any part thereof—but the aggregate amount of the voluntary payments so to be made is not to exceed in any one year 100,000 dollars. No forfeiture is hereafter to be incurred by any Stockholder for non-payment of any of the remaining instalments due on his shares—and each Stockholder is to be entitled to receive of the future dividends in proportion to the sums actually paid by him to the Bank.
Thus, it is proposed that each Stockholder shall be at liberty to pay up the instalments still remaining unpaid on his shares, or not, as may best suit his convenience and interest, without any risk of forfeiting the payments already made, or his share of his future dividends in proportion to his payments.
There has already been paid to the Bank 40 dollars on each share, or 400,000 dollars of the Capital Stock.
A meeting of the Stockholders will be held at Georgetown on the 20th day of March next, to elect twelve Directors for the year ensuing—and it is presumed by the President and Directors that the question as to the acceptance or rejection of this late act of the General Assembly will at that time be decided.

Insurance from Lois by Fire.
THE Insurance Company of North-America, to accommodate the Public, throughout the United States, with respect to insurances from Fire on BUILDINGS of every description, hereby publish, that resolutions to this effect have passed their Board; and that hereafter they shall be ready to make such insurances on terms to be fixed by their President and Committee, agreeably to circumstances. Those who are anxious to effect insurances, will find their advantage in sending the most particular statement of their buildings, and the relative circumstances. Persons not having a correspondent in this city, or who prefer doing this business with the Office directly, by means of Letters, post paid must not fail to enclose a builder's description of the dimensions, condition, materials and situation of the building proposed to be insured, especially with respect to its contiguity to other buildings, and whether those buildings be of wood, or brick, or stone. It must be particularly stated, whether the building itself, or those in its neighbourhood, be occupied as dwellings, or used as magazines or manufactories, and for what particular purpose; and to obviate all objection, it is expected that this builder's statement, and the representation annexed, shall be severally signed by the parties, and accompanied by a magistrate's certificate, that they are persons of good repute. For the government of the Public, they deem it expedient to notice, that although the premium must be fixed according to the degree of hazard in the estimation of the President and Committee of the week, yet it will probably not be more than from about half to one per cent. annually, except where a house or store is not only itself built of wood, but situated next other buildings of the same material. On such risks not more than four thousand dollars will be written on one policy. Houses and stores built of brick or stone, and situated in open streets in any of the principal towns or cities where fire engines and fire companies are established, and not containing articles particularly combustible, will be considered risks entitled to assurance at the lowest of these rates. On single hazards, even of the best kind, where from remoteness those advantages cannot be enjoyed, the Company will not assure more than five thousand dollars. No policy will be signed till the premium be paid. Any person insuring for seven years, will be charged only the amount of six annual premiums; and for three years, a deduction of one-third of a year's premium will be made. By order of the Board, EBEN HAZARD, Secretary. Office of Insurance Company of N. A. Philadelphia, Jan. 26, 1796. 2aw.
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, S K E T C H E S OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, From the peace of 1783, to the termination of the present Session of Congress. BY MATHEW CAREY.
CONDITIONS. I. This work will be comprised in two or three octavo volumes, each about 400 pages. II. The price to subscribers will be two dollars per volume, handsomely bound. III. No money will be required till the volumes are delivered. IV. Should any of the subscribers disapprove of the work when complete, they may decline receiving it. V. It is expected to be ready for press in the spring of 1797. VI. 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 Book-sellers throughout 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 importance, 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 announcing, that the body and consistency 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 number task shall be to sketch out the most prominent features. 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 labours abridged, and their progress accelerated.
His chief view will be, to give the History of the United States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, notice 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 separate appendixes.
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 preferred—and safely returned. February 9. TAWITZ

PROPOSALS,
FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
A NEW EDITION OF
MILLAR'S ELEMENTS
OF THE
LAW OF INSURANCE.
THE present publication shall, by additions to the small Treatise published in Britain in 1787, be augmented to the size of two volumes royal 8vo, consisting of at least 600 pages each, on a fair pica type.
It had been suggested to the compiler, by many persons conversant in the law and practice of Insurance, that a complete compilation of the authorities on this single subject would be of great utility; to which persons particularly interested in this one branch of law might have recourse, instead of being under the necessity of purchasing and turning over a variety of voluminous publications. To answer this end of convenience, it is proposed to define the first volume of the present work to the reception of a very full collection of authorities not in a state of adjudgment, as was the case in the former edition; and which could not have been resorted to the originals; but to be inferred from the most approved original compilations, and arranged in the mode which appears easiest for consultation.
This First Volume, or Dictionary of Authorities, will comprehend,
1st. The ancient Marine Ordinances of the foreign states of Europe: which form the common law of Insurance. At present it is unfortunate that a collection of these is scarcely to be found any where else than in that scarce and dear book, Magen's Essay, in two volumes, 4to.
2d. The Statute Law of Great-Britain in regard to Insurances. The American legislatures have hitherto done nothing upon this subject.
3d. A very full collection of the reports of adjudged cases in the courts of England and Scotland, and of those of the States of America so far as they can be obtained. This will form by far the greatest as well as the most important part of the first volume. By means of his friends at the English bar, the compiler hopes to bring forward a number of reports of adjudged cases never before published, so as to make the series on this subject more complete than any now extant.
The second volume will consist of an Institute, or Elementary Treatise, on a plan something similar to that of the former edition; but with a great addition of new matter; so as to extend this part of the work to about double the former size. A more practical arrangement will also be studied.
The whole will be attended with very full indexes of the different parts.
Price to subscribers six dollars and one half for the two volumes in boards.
The work will be put to the press whenever a sufficient number of subscriptions have been obtained to indemnify the publisher for the actual expense of publication.
Subscriptions will be received by Thomas Dobson, and all the Booksellers in Philadelphia. January 19. 2aw6w.
