 'CONGRESS.\nPHILADELPHIA.\nHOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, FRIDAY, December 23.\nIN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.\nOn the Post-Office Bill. The bill before the House had been postponed, and which regulates the rates of postage, was taken into consideration.\nMr. FITZSIMONS offered a sketch of rates of postage, by way of amendment, different from that reported in the bill, and the rates now paid—his plan was a general reduction of the rates.\nMr. Goodhue said, he did not believe that the revenue from the post-office, any more than that from the impost, would be increased by establishing an high rate of postage.\nHe was pleased with the sketch offered—and wished it might be agreed to as an amendment—he had no doubt of its exceeding the revenue of the department.\nMr. Livermore was in favor of the original rates reported in the bill—he conceived that the reduced rates would be so low, as materially to injure the income of the department. He said, that he did not conceive why the rate of postage for 100 miles, in one part of the United States, should be greater than for 100 miles in another part—he referred to the diminished rates for great distances.\nMr. Williamson was in favor of reducing the rates—he observed, that though our experience in this business was not great, yet it was sufficient to show that a reduction of the rates of postage tended to increase the income of the department. And the experience of European countries was incontrovertibly in favor of the idea of a reduction of the rates.\nMr. Baldwin replied to Mr. Livermore, and observed that the amendment recognized the same principle in respect to great distances, which is contained in the bill as reported.\nOn motion of Mr. Williamson, the amendment was altered, so that the rate of postage for a single letter to the greatest distance, should not exceed 25 cents.\nMr. Fitzsimons\' amendment was then adopted. The section which makes it death for persons employed in the post-office department to rob the mail, occasioned considerable debate—the words, "shall forfeit death," were struck out, and it was then moved to insert imprisonment for life, or for a term which the court may think proper—This motion occasioned further debate, on its being moved to amend it, by striking out imprisonment for life.\nMr. Murray entered into a general consideration of the subject—He was clearly of opinion that if the punishment was not loss of life, it ought to be the next in point of severity—He enlarged on the enormity of the crime, and inferred that a person who was so depraved as to be guilty of it, ought to be forever deprived of the power of injuring society again—He adverted to the principles advanced by Montesquieu, Beccaria, and others, who had wrote so ably on crimes and punishments; but with all their refinements, he said, they were obliged to acknowledge that as there were grades in guilt, there should be degrees of punishment. He adverted to the regulations of Pennsylvania, he said their goal was more properly a school of morality, than a place of punishment. It may reform, but it will never be the best in point of severity. The general aim of society in the commonwealth, but he doubted whether it would not invite to the commission of crimes, and accelerate the period when they must have recourse to a more severe system of jurisprudence. He concluded by saying, that if the punishment was the next in severity to the loss of life, he should vote against the last amendment.\nMr. Hartley defended the system of punishment and reformation adopted by Pennsylvania. He said, his experience was in its favor—The gentleman has carried our ideas to European countries, but he thought that examples from our own country were more in point. He objected generally to punishments, and said the present amendment now proposed he thought would be too severe, if generally incurred for the crime under consideration.\nOn the subject of newspapers, Mr. Williamson suggested the propriety of their being so packed that they may be easily inflicted by the Postmaster.\nMr. Fitzsimons moved to add this clause, "to be paid by the printers sending the same, at the expiration of every three months"—this was not carried.\nThe section was further amended by saying that the newspapers shall be under cover of an envelope, and that the postmaster shall receive 50 per cent of the postage.\nThe residue of Mr. Williamson\'s amendment was agreed to.\nMr. Livermore moved that the prolix, which empowers the contractors to carry newspapers, should be struck out.\nMr. Page observed, that in disposing of this business, the prolix ought to be used, as it was a plain infringement of the liberty of the press, and should be the consequence. We have subjected the printers of papers to a certain tax for sending their papers by the mail; and now it is proposed to cut them off from all opportunity of making their own contracts—He thought the business ought to be left as much as possible—and the printers left to themselves to dispose of their publications as they think proper, independent of the mail.\nMr. Barnwell supported the motion, he said that by retaining the clause, the post-office would be subjected to innumerable impositions.\nThe prolix was struck out—and another proposed by Mr. Boudinot, to the same purpose, with an addition, subjecting papers sent by contract, to the inspection of the postmaster.\nThis motion was objected to—it would operate against the revenue of the post-office.\nMr. Boudinot observed, that in forming the contracts, the contractors always agreed for a less consideration than the advantage derived from carrying newspapers.\nThis motion was also disagreed to.\nThe committee then rose and reported the bill with amendments to the House.\nMONDAY, January 16.\nThe message from the President of the United States relative to the situation of the Western Frontiers, being the Order of the Day, after reading petitions, the House went into a committee of the whole, and the galleries were cleared.\nTUESDAY, January 17.\nA bill to reimburse certain extra expenses incurred by the late commissioners for treating of peace with the Creek Indians, was read the first time.\nA representation and memorial of Christopher Junior, and Charles Marshall, stating that they have established a chemical laboratory in the city of Philadelphia, for the manufacture of Sal Ammoniac, Glauber Salts, &c., and praying the patronage of Congress, by laying extra duties on those articles imported from abroad—was read and laid on the table.\nSeveral petitions for pensions and compensation were read, and referred to the Secretary of war.\nA petition of Henry Lee was read, praying the revival of a certificate of public debt, which had been destroyed—referred to the Secretary of the Treasury.\nMr. Murray moved that the petition of John F. Amelung should be taken up in order to its being referred to the Committee of Ways and Means.\nMr. White objected to going into the discussion of any business of a private nature, while public concerns of the first importance demand the immediate attention of the House.\nThe question being put for taking up the petition, it was negatived.\nMr. Dayton read the following resolution, in substance, on the table, that the President of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before the House copies of the official communications which have taken place between the Supreme Executive of the State of Pennsylvania, and the Secretary of War, relative to a plan of military operations—also such documents as may have been received respecting an invasion of the frontiers of this State.\nThe order of the day on the President\'s message respecting the western frontiers, being called for, the galleries were shut.\nBOSTON, January 2.\nCapt. Clay, in the brig Lion, arrived at Portland on Saturday, the 24th ult. from Port-au-Prince, and informs that on the 22d of November, that place was set on fire by the Mulattoes, and almost entirely destroyed.\nImmediately after the town was destroyed, the Whites (on the idea that the Blacks were accepting to its destruction) formed the horrid design of putting to death all the Negroes and Mulattoes women and children, who remained in the town. And this design, to the eternal infamy of the perpetrators, was put immediately into execution.\nAn indiscriminate massacre! What would have been the result, had it not been discovered, and not one who could be found during that day, innocent or guilty, but was instantaneously butchered, either by a bullet through the head, or a bayonet through the bowels.\nCapt. Clay left Port-au-Prince the 25th of November; at which time the town was still surrounded by the Mulattoes and Negroes. The Whites were greatly disconcerted, and were disposed to make peace on any terms.\nPhiladelphia, January 18.\nThe late accounts from Europe inform us of a very great storm or hurricane on the coast of England, Ireland, &c. about the 24th ult. great damage and loss were sustained both by land and sea.\nA manifesto against the new Constitution of France, signed by the refugee Princes, has been published—the leading feature of which is, that the King was not free, when he accepted it.\nMirabeau having died insolvent, the National Assembly has voted unanimously to defray the expenses of his funeral.\nAn English paper of the 24th Oct. contains the following article, viz.\nIt is said that one of the first acts of Colonel Simcoe\'s Government in Canada will be, to deliver up the British Fots situated on the east of the River St. Lawrence, and to the south of Nova Scotia, according to certain articles in the peace with America.\nTHOMAS WILLING, Esq. was unanimously re-elected President of the Bank of the United States on the 24th inst.\nThe members of the North-Carolina legislature, which is now in session, have taken measures to support the condition of the United States.\nProposals have been published for establishing a second bank in the city of New-York, under the name of the "Million Bank of the State of New-York," and the share amount of 15,000 shares were subscribed in a few hours.\nExtract of a letter, dated Boardman, Sept. 25, 1791 to a gentleman in this city.\nExchange is rising a little, and specie coming in circulation, the year is expected to be a good one for us. As confidence gains, it will become more abundant, which will operate in favor of the intercourse with America, herefore greatly interrupted by the low exchange and scarcity of specie. When the new paper currency would now pay ten or twenty per cent higher for tobacco, rice, indigo and grain, than any of its neighbors, and this year would take a considerable quantity of the late mentioned article, the last year having proved very short, considerable supplies will be wanting in all the south of France."\nORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.\nA correspondent says he was greatly pleased at being a member of the House of Representatives of the United States lay in his place, the other day, that he hoped the time would soon arrive when Turnpike Roads would be opened in every direction.\nThe interest of individuals, of farmers, mechanics, merchants, and of all others whose business obliges them to travel, would be essentially promoted by improved roads—the expected revenue would be a hundred fold, if that can be called an expense, which is absolutely nothing more nor less than converting property to the best purpose, combining private emolument with public convenience, and the funding law will be found a most effectual means of effecting it.\nShould ignorance, prejudice or wickedness, find ways to check the ardor of the present moment to engage in the improvement of roads and inland navigation, it would be a very great public injury, and evince that even in this enlightened age the relics of barbarism are to be found.\nThe general government of the United States, purging the obligation of the federal constitution, have honestly determined, that those who could prove themselves the public creditors should be paid a just equivalent for their demands. The new "morality" of some folks would have taught them how to discharge the principal of their debts for a quarter of their value; they have been sketched on a system of ethics, which would have enabled the public to issue a certificate for the payment of interest at a remote period without any compensation for the use of the money in the mean time. What would have been "the renders" of such measures? How pure would have been the public and private virtue of such a country, how respectable their character as a government, and how intelligent their knowledge of prosperity their future prospects? The old world (their fens being left in the admiration of our transcendent virtue) would have been in the wrong, and without interest, they might, possibly have paid us for borrowing money from them!\nThere are not wanting persons in the United States, who affect to consider the general government in the light of a foreign one. Blinded by the love, not of their fellow citizens in general, but of the particular state system to which they belong, they consider it a general contending national power, as an alien force, although they have participated in the election and appointment of those who execute it, as fully as in the election and appointment of the administrators of the state government.\nThese persons cannot be said to love their country, but the spot they live on. They do not embrace in their notions the whole nation of the people, but the little circle of their immediate connections. To the United States they are not patriots or friends to their country. To the people of America they do not hold themselves fellow citizens.\nThe following ideas on account of their intricate views, to be selected from the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject of manufacturing.\n1. That the promotion of manufactures (that is our home trade) is rendered necessary by the restrictions of foreign nations on our navigation and external commerce.\n2. That there is an absolute necessity to provide a home market for the increasing produce of our farms and plantations.\n3. That the United States sustain an immense burden in the charges of importing foreign manufactures, which amounting to twenty per cent, upon fifteen millions of dollars, is not less than three millions per annum in pecuniary value, and more in real value.\n4. That no country, however fertile has retained its gold and silver, if it has not manufactured goods.\n5. That by the intervention of women and children, and machinery, manufactures have been brought to require a small portion of the labor of men, and that these may be obtained from abroad.\n6. That a judicious system of measures to encourage manufactures will draw capital from foreign countries to be employed in the United States, and will tend to augment our raw materials and provisions.\n7. And lastly, that manufactures will succeed in the United States, because they have been in Europe, and are now in the United States.\nSome political writers have censured the Secretary of the Treasury for proposing so much in favor of the public creditors. These, it is probable, have no interest in the debt. Other political writers have censured him for proposing so little in favor of the public creditors. These, it is probable, have bought largely of the debt. Such being the two extremes dictated by self-interest, it would seem probable that justice and good policy were to be found in the middle line, which is proved by the value of the public stock, and the credit of the country abroad and at home.\nWe frequently hear the general government blamed for exposing that, which held the public securities to speculators. Every advantage of a future to public creditors, was recommended to Congress by the report on the debt, on the 9th of January, 1792. The proposition of the assumption was contained in the same. This report was published and re-published throughout the United States. Thirty days carried it to every State. The bills in all states were put upon the stock for the month of February, and continued six months and twenty-six days after. Were the people then taken by surprise? No—The truth is, that the late governments had so long neglected to provide funds to pay the interest, and so long refused to empower Congress to do it, that their continuance, in too many of the states, did not believe an adequate provision would or could be made. It was therefore the former conduct of many of the states that exposed the debt to the speculators, and not the present honest system of Congress. If the states had made provision from 1783 to 1789, the debt would have been worth more in dollars in the pound, and speculators could not have got the people\'s certificates but by paying that value for them. Every state government knew of the proposition to fund the debt in 1789, and if the people were not informed, measures could have been taken to apprise them at that time, when the continental securities were worth no more than even or eight dollars in the pound, with two years interest due upon them.\nIt is a remark frequently made, that the enemies of a government are always more numerous than its friends—Were it necessary, the reasons might be readily assigned.\nThe most effectual defence of any administration arises from conscious duty and honesty. If these continue to be the leading virtues, they will repel the shafts of every assailant. But to be successful, these virtues must be known for the knowledge of the people is the support of a good government, and without it their continuance is in the power of those who deal in lies and misrepresentation.\nA fair prospect appeared lately to dawn upon the public in respect to the general diffusion of that information among the people which is the life blood of a free republic—but, alas, it is not at present overall? Better for the government to expend an hundred thousand dollars an-\nnually, than to defeat the public expectation, as will be the case should the present imperfect, uncertain and vexatious system, respecting the circulation of intelligence, continue. It is a decided point that the newspapers cannot be sent by bags, and it is less discretionary with the Postmaster-General to send the mail either on horseback or in a carriage, and at the same time it is almost necessary to send it by the former, for several months in the year. What a difference for the better, will take place, even should the law now on its passage be finally enacted?—The mail, from December 1st to 1st of February, from this city, to New-York and Baltimore, on horseback—the consequence is, that newspapers, except for Printers, must be riked in the stages—and it is almost necessary to send it by the former, for several months in the year.
