E BILITISII PH tES:I.

I AM I)ON,
SATURDAY. DECBMILIL 2;).

The dispute between Mr. Fosrmt and Lord
Dosiounumont bas considerably abated; but we
understand by letters from Dublin, that the measure
irbich gave rise to it is regarded in the same
light as at first in that city. 'the Commissioners,
have consulted some ni the Crown Lawyers,
whom opinion coincides with their own determina-

tins, not to leclgt.ise the persons nominated by Mr.
Foots' as duly authorised and appointed to serve
under them as Officers of the Revenue. l'he suspen-
sion of the old Officers upon mere suspicion has

. .
plunged several families into great distress, and is
universally con.iskred a very harsh proceeding, to
;ay no ww-...: of it.

It is reported in the Ministerial circles, that one of
the first measures to come under the discussion of
Parliament, is the Defensive Treaty lately signed be-
tween Great Britain and Russia. Accord ingto rumour,
it is equally honourable to both countries, and will
be followed by a new Commercial Treaty new nego-
tiating, which, if carried into effet% will deprive
France of those advantages which she derived from
her commercial treaties with Russia of 1786 and
I SO!.
Government is also said to he at this moment
negotiating with Eli, SWEDISIt MAJESTY, not only
a Defensive but a Subsidiary Treaty, which, when
agreed to and settled, will extend to Russia, and
form a triple alliance between the three States. We
have heard from respettable authority, that the
Cabinet of Berlin is well acquainted with all the par-
ticulars of these negotiations, and though, not yet a
patty, has given its promise never to oppose their
execution.

Loyal and well-informed persons, both on the
Continent and in this country, hope much from the
change, which has appeared of late, in the politics
of His PILSSIAN MAJAST V. It is generally ascribed
to a discovery, saisl to have beet' made by the Mar-
quis of Lecciststar, of a secret treaty having been
signed between France and Austria, last Augost,
at Aix-la-Chapelle ; the first consequence of which
was, the resolution of the Emperor of GER/AA/4r, in
imitation of BON•PARTE, to declare himself an he-
reditary Emperor of Austria. Many persons pre-
tend, that this secret treaty contains, in several ar-
tides, the favourite plan of Boa AAAAAA and
ZYR AND. for the partition of the Turkish Empire,
and that the communication of it to the OTTO% AN
Poore, by the Russ! AN Am sass/awe, at Constanti-
nople, is the principal cause that the GRA ND Slow) a
has refused to acknowledge FRANCIS 11. an here-
ditary Emperor of Austria, and the Corsican Usurper
an Emperor of the French.
Whether such secret treaty really subsists or not,
the diaatorial influence of the Cabinet of St. Cloud
at Vienna cannot escape the notice and regret of
the most impartial observer. Even in such a rela-
tively indifferent occurrence, as the inauguration of
FR A C4CIS 11. in his new dignity, the insolent inter-
ference of France may be plainly seen. This cere-
mony was put off duee different times, because So.
did not app rave of its being carried into
effeA, until his 01.V3 sacrilegious coronation had
take place, which was deferred en account of the
delay of the Po ifc'k, arrival at Paris.

A memorial has been written by Doaor 11,N se is
at Paris, addresseskto the Irish Officers in the armies
of the several continental powers, particularly to
those in the Austrian service. It sets out with an
assurance that an attempt will be shortly made to
liberate Ireland from what the writer falsely and
traitorously calls the bondage and thraldom of
England, under which that country has in long
suf ered. and promises that due t otice shall be given
of the s,iling of the army for that purpose, so as to
afford . n opportunity to all those inclined to share
in the glory of delivering their country,
,of joining
in the expedition. It assures them, that immedi-
ately upon their arrival at the head quartets of the
troops destined for the invasion of their native
country, they shall receive such promotion and re.
compence as they shall be intitlel to and their pa-
triotism deserves; but that such dastardly cow-
ards as should negled this call, and decline
the honour to which they are invited, shall
have their names crated from the list of Pa-
triots, and that their families shall be treated with
contempt. Such, we are assured, is the substance of
this paper, several of which are in the possession of
Government. It is said to be written in a very spi-
rited and elegant style. Annexed to it is a list of
the officers, to whom it is addressed, and are thus
invited to assist the French in the destiudion of
their native land. But, however captivating the
language, or insidious the arguments of the Medi-
cal Traitor may be, we fancy this new address will
not add much to the strength of the Invading
Army. There is no Irish Officer in the service of
any Continental Power, except France, who can be
the dupe of such an invitation. If there be any de.
scription of Irishmen, who must shudder more than
..ny other at the poison thus offered to his lips by
the Doctor under cover of a salutary Medicine, it
must be the Irishman, who, whether in Austrian,
Russian, or Prussian service, has marked the bloody
steps of the French armies upon the Continent ; who
has witnessed their plunder and devastation ; their
cruelties and their crimes, in the very countries
which they entered as friends; in the very villages
where they were received as deliverers, and the cities
which they took under their fostering care and pro.
teflion. What Irishman can so well appreciate
the curses of French fraternity, as he who, in
continental service, has had an opportunity of
seeing and knowing the misery they have brought
upon their friends, nay, upon their own country ;
their own families; and fellow-citizens. And if he
has seen that they have not spared either themselves

. ~

or their friends, what horrors must he not anticipate
from their presence in IrelAnd, in an enemy's coun-
try, where their temper mast be soured by priva-
tions, and their fury enflamed by resistance and
defeats ?,

Our Correspondent at Vienna writes us under the
Gth instant, as follows: " During the two months
our Sovereign was absent with his Imperial Con-
sort from this capital, Their MAJESTIES gained the
hearts of all their subjefts in the provinces blessed
with their presence. Foreigners can form but little
idea of the popularity of the Esteems and Ea-
PRESS, how much they are beloved, and how well
they deserve to be beloved. During their journey
Their MAJESTIES travelled without any escort, and
almost without any suite; they were only accom-
panied by twelve noblemen and ladies, and ten ser•
rants. Every where they rewarded the meritorious,
encouraged the industrious, assisted the indigent,
and relieved the wants of their people. This year's
harvest having miscarried in Bohemia, Their Wt-
./Ernes took a million of florins (80,0001.) from
their private purse, and sent one of their Chamber-
lains to the neighbouring states to purchase grain,
which is to be distributed equally in every suffer-
ing parish in that kingdom. The city of Prague
having it in contemplation to prepare a triumphal
arch, and expend great sums in other rejoicings,
the EMPEROR wrote a letter with his own hand to
the Governor, stating, that he could enjoy no
satisfaction so long as his people suffered, and that
if the intent of the City of Prague was, to shew its
fidelity and attachernent to its Sovereign, the most
pleasing way, and the most congenial to his feelings
would be, to bestow those sums destined for shews,
fetes, and illuminations, on their suffzring fellow-
subjefts.' A magazine was immediately ereeted,
and grain purchased, enough to support until next
year's harrest, 420,000 poor in that city. General
Count II ADOSCIL, having, one day, during the
Eurzaoa's stay at Prague, hinted at the necessity
of Sovereigns keeping up their rank, and to cause

Acquitted, in which offer, the troops of the whole
Austrian army joined. The Em prima, however,
in thanking them for this proof of their affeaion,

letter, with his refusal of it. These alts, in doing
equal houour to the Sovereign and to the subjeas,

Four British subjeccts were found on board the
three Spanish galleons which we lately took off
Cape St. Mary, bound from Spanish South
America to Cadiz. The account they gave of
themselves was, that they had been pricnners of
war in Buenos Ayres, in consequence of their being
on board the Lady Shan' transport ship, bound for
aany Bay, on board of which a mutiny took place
, their passage, And the Captain and Officers in-
-I,.::tranly murdered. The mutineers carried the ship
i.‘to Monte Video ; they had been rcle.ased by
order of the Government of Spain, and were to
be landed at Cadiz, and conveyed to England by the
first conveyance it the expence of that Government.
This account was transmitted to the Secretary of
State's Office, with their names, viz. Jahn Brown,
!..11vard Eaer, Francis Ward, and Lamic!lot Movies;
and information being sent that they were arrived
.a ihe River, and on beard the Enirraria- tender, Sir
.;:e a H WOf orosentAdkins and Anthony for them
Lot Men y. The Officers lodged them in Tothdl-
v. Us They have undergone several
ts 'initiations, and the account they have given of
ni,elves and their adventures is as folows :

dleurei Ensie said, he was a drumnic:' in the New
tio.ith Wales Corps; that he was on board the
Lidy Shore when the mutiny took place; that he
had no share in it ; he was then only fourteen years
of age ; that since that time he had chiefly been
in prison in South America, in Buenos Ayres and
other places; that he received permission to come
to Europe in the Spanish frigate Medea, which was
captured off Cadiz.
John Brown said, he was born at Cambridge, and
is about thirty years of age ; that he wits on board
the Lad_y Shure at the time of the mutiny as a soldier
in the South \Valet Corps ; he was not in the
watch at the time of the mutiny, and knew nothing
of it until the morning, when he found himself
fastened below. The Frenchmen, Dutchmen, and

Irishmen, who were concerned in the mutiny, fast-
ene I down the hatches before they t,ok the vessel,
rind our officer told us we could not reteke the
vess..l, and that he had given up his sword, and
we :nust give up our arms. Serjeant Burns brought
the order fruit i!,e officer ; they took no prizes after-
wards, and. the Fienclimen carried them into the Ri-
ver I.a Plata, wuere he had been a prisoner about
seven yeas: the Frenchmen were all in one
watch.
Enneir Ward said, he was born in the North or
Ireland, at Ballyhay ; he was a soldier in the
South Wales Corps ; was on board the Lady Shore
at the time of the mutiny ; he inlisted in Lond.:ii,
an,l was very young, and worked in London as a
journeyman tailor; he was sick below at the time
of the mutiny, and knew nothing of i• ; they were
taken into 'Monte Video, and atter that to Buenos
Ayres; the other three prisoners were vi ;ill him all
the t:me they were inprisn; and they came home as
prisoners of war in the Mist's? Spanish frigate.
Lgoorsiar Snowier said, he was born at R•iscrea,i::
Ireland ; is now upwards of seventy years of

two male convids 41rt board ; they laid in the steer-
age, and heard or knew nothing of the mutiny until
the pistols and guns were fired on deck. The Lorlif
Sityre was carried into Monte Video, and he was the
first man that told what had been done, and knew
they had obtained possession of the vessel.
_ The mutineers were eleven Frenchmen and seven

Irishmen. who were s-idiers in the South Wales
corps. flc was the only Englishman on hoard the
ijil.;drilli Spanish frigate, when she was taken. They

fortably there as in London, havin.; a strong recom-
mendation from the late Mr. kirhy, the keeper of
Newgate, and several ether per%o .5, to Governor
Hunter, and had considerable property given him
by his friends to take, and every thing was made as
comfortable to him as his situation would admit of.

The mutiny was accomplished by the following ex-
tram danary means ; the small number of eighteeen
men, consioing of eleven Frenchmen and seven
Irishmen, happening all to be upon the watch at
the same time. When the mutineers had murdered
the officers, and made thems-Ives masters of
the vessel, they put on the officers uniforms ;

When they arrived at ?dome Video, it lt,t being cus-
tomary for Europeans to do any work, they were
serptrused by the female inhabit ints, who provided
them with Spanish dresses, and made them their
companions. Some of the women conducted them-
seise-. with a deal of propriety, and are married and
sAtt,..l there—some to .he inhabitants, and some to
American Captains. Several of them behaved in a
very loose and disorderly manner, and were in con-
seq sence taken into custody and carried before the
Governor, who committed them to prisms at Buenos
AP es. where they reformed. and agreeing to turn
to the Ittimass Cathnhc religion, they were espoused
by the hill thitanti, and are now comfortably settled
Wlen they arrived at Monte Video, the
Frendt mutineers wrote to the French Government,
stating the capture thee had made, but concealing
the horrid murders they had committed. The
French Government. in consequence. wrote to the
Governor of Monte Video, saying. they considered
it such a brave and gallant adieu for eleven French-
men to take a ship with so many men on hoard, that
they dire/teal the vessel and cargo to be sold, and
the amount 011ie sale to be divided among them, ac-
cording to the rank they held in the command of the

GUILDHALL.
Yesterday, the Master of the Swan with Two
Necks, is Lad-lane, was summoned by a gentleman
beiore the siting Alderman, whose complaint was,
that two hares had been sent to him from the coun-
try the day before Chrisimas-day, and had not been
delivered according to the direction, ,‘ The White
Horse Cellar, Piccadilly."
The master, his book-keeper, and porters, proved
their being sent to Piccadilly, agreeably to the di-
reaion ; but they would not he received at the
Cellar, and were left at the White Horse oppo-
site, and the gentleman informed of the circum-
stance, who, refusing to pay the carriage front
Lad-lane to ,Piccadilly, they remained there. The
Master said in holiday time he never allowed any
parcels to be delivered until the coach arrived at his
house, the final destination, to prevent game being
lost. The Alderman thought the defence was so
extremely reasonable and fair, he could only direa
the Gentleman to pay the carriage, and receive his
hares.

A NSION- HO S C
Yesterday, a complant was made that a shop in
Threadneedle-street, iv; thin two doors of the Watch-
house, had been robbed, and a watchman had given
information that he had seen the goods deliberately
put into .1 coach at three o'clock in the morning, and
carried off. The Officers are in search of them.

MARL BOROUGH-STREET.
Thursday a busiress or curious notice occupied
the attention of the Sitting Magistrates a consider-
able time. Gosling and Spencer, beadles of Saint
Anne's parish, charged a Serjeant in the 14th Re-
giment of Light Dragoons, with violently as-
saulting and beating an unknown person, in Comp-
ton-street. It was stated, by the officers, that they
took the prisoner into custody in coasequence of his
having 'eaten a person in the street. assisted by
others, and creating an immense mob. On the
Serjeant being put on his tletettc•-:, the charge took
a very different turn ; the he'.l as follows :
The prisoner was sent ssa:t saspatzhes to Lieut.
Colonel Hawker, the officer :,nainanding the re-
giment, and on his way to the Colonel's lidgings,
he saw A person whom lit knew to be a deserter
from the Bth Regiment or Foot. The fellow took
to his hetis ; and the Prisoner, who was unable to
head him, kept strikibj him with a stick, and as he
ran, cried " stop thief, a deserter." A considerable
mob was assembled, and the beadles interfered,
and insisted on taking the Prisoner to tl e IVatch-
house, for assaulting the deserter. The S ajeant
ialiirmed them that he wassettling a deserter. The
officers, how.iver, insisted that the prisonertpd com-
mitted a !treads of 'the pease, and wok him to St.
Pane's watch-house, without paying any resrea to
his prow.tations, or the deserter, wits eii'eaed his
escape.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hawker, and Cornet Knight,
of the same regiment, accidentally were passing
near, and witnessed the trans.:Lakin. While the
needles had the prisoner ht custody, tshOn't tl* same
moment had hold of the deserter, Cornet K. without
making himself known to them, reques•'-d of the
beadles that they would first secure the deserter,
and in that case the prisoner's conJuEt could have a
legal ins c,tigation. They, is .wever. took no notice
of the t emonstrance, but conveyed away the serjeant
from his prisoner.
The Magistrate remarked, that it was the duty of
Ofii-ers to suppress, as much as possibl-, any kind
I of disiirler and riot in the .street ; and it was also
their ditty to secure the person or persons who ap-
peared to theist the aggressors, and bring them be-
fore a Magistrate, as it was nut for them to decide.
It was also every man's duty to secure a deserter ;
and they had aged wrong, it it was within their
knots ledge that such was the case when the Prisoner
had the man in custody. He gave Colonel Hawker
the names of the Beadles, and stated, that a Bill
might he pieferied against them at the Sessions
The Colonel expressed his determination to that
offal ; and the business will, of course, be heard
again.

The KING is to exercise his right in the care' nnd
education of His t; RANO DAUGHTER; and it w:11
astonish the vile and malig:unt slanderers, who cats
live qtly in times et turbulence and dissenticn,
to learn, that His Royal Highness the Prince of
WA i Ls never opposed the full exercise of that right
on the part of his Roy At Fa ram Actuated by
every dejree of tender afFeCtion and loyalty to his
Roy AL PARENT, the PaiNCL knew that the Law of
the Land had established the right of the Care and
Education of the PeiNcEss and PRESUNIP fIVE I leis
in the person of His Mare.r v. His 111,41 High-

right with greater solicitude for the happiness of the

Hut there were certain points of etiquette—certain
forms—which are highly honourable to a father, and
which are here unnecessary to be particularised, that
operated for a time on the PR 1 N CEPS feelings, and
required, in his opinion, a satisfaClory explana-
tion. After a full and fair discussion of the subject,
every cause oi difference has at last been happily re-
m'Aied, and such explanations made as haste per-
fedly reconciled the parties most deeply interested.
It is now for the present agreed-

to remove Ilei Royal I I,ghilim, to the country, that she shall
reside at Windsor.

DUELLING.
•
The Public are sufficiently acquainted with the
sensation produced by the unfortunate duel in which
General Hamilton fell, and the grief which his death
occasioned in America. In several of the States, re-
solutions against duelling were entered into, and a
general spirit was excited against a pra4lice which
had risen to a height which threatened to be attended
with consequences utterly dest:uftive of domestic
peace or public tranquillity.
The following is the Memorial of the Represen-
ta:ivti of the State of South Carolina on this subjeft:
" Your are deeply impres•cd with Fief at the
presslmee of th,• entrains of 1/tainting, which, tniinAing upon
all lars. human and divine, sweep: cff many useful citizens,
leJving their blush,* a prey to sorrow, and often to poverty and
vice
•' That thii euit'im originated in dark and barbarous age%
when a r. (Aar east i.n,atrt al administratiou of jugote was us.
?wean% oud triseelNised ; but It ought not to be tolerated by
tire eivilisati.ni modern tunes, under a 1-gislation, which has
provid-d, or mar easily provide, adequate redress for all serious
injuries c.onnsitted ageing the life, liberty, fame, or property
of the

That this custom emu a tribunal for the settlement sof
pets .nal differeacoi, iu witch, contrary to all sound principles,
a man becomes the sole judge in his own cause; whence, as
might have been expected from such a code, the only punish-
ments for the kwest, as well as the highest offences, are written
in blood.
That restraining personal resentment, by giving the attri-
bute of vengeance to the laws, Walia thir greatest victory obtained
by civilisation over barhsrism ; but the custom of duelling is tow
well calculated to dcfeat the hisnecill effects of that triumph,
and tow oaken the authority of all iaws, by accustoming Rico to
contein.i th, ir Sa actions.

"That your Memorialists are apyveliensive, from the fre•
quency of the practice of late years, that this cudum is gaining
ground, and seems likely to be earned to such great length:, as
to degrade men to the condition of glatliators, and to introduce
a new reign os barbarism.
" That, from the nature of the human mind, men are ever
ready to follow exaniples, especially those set by einment per-
sons; 11604 therefore the body of the community perceives
great, and in other respects, virtuous citizens, shedding each
others blood on slight provocations, or trivial pretences, the
fatal practice be general. Thus, the barriers between
virtue and vice, innocence and guilt, are broken down, arid
that horror of shedding human blond wantonly, which is the
best safeguard of the peace of society, is greatly diminished, or
wholly destroyed
" That in countries where distinctions of rank are sanction.
ed, a pernicius cu•tuni may exist, and be confined to the higher
orders of society, and be, compaiatively, little destructive;
but that, in our country of equal laws, tights, and rank, such
custom. if unchecked by the laws, will necessarily become
general, and spread its destructive Cfects far and wide in the
community, Ow dt,olauoil thoitsands of famdieg.

Thal this 'aortal vengeance is not resorted to merely in
eases of griftvou, ;.moue, for which the laws may not have
provided an ademiate remedy; but, in many cases nt t•inal
offence, which 4 40tiernos mind would williugly pardon, this
tyrant cudoin is 'opposed to impose an obligation to call nut to
the field of blood even a companion or friend who may have
unguardedly given the provocation.
That this absurd custom decides no right, and settles no
point; anti as the religion and philosophy it modern times
ell nut admit that this Almighty disposer of events will inter-
pose his power, on such au impious appeal t his rustier;
which the credulity of the Gothic nations believed, when this
Cliftenits6ted anions them in the form of judicial combat.
It is themfore conceded nuivermlly, that the innocent and ag-
grieved p^rson is as liktly to he the v. iim as the guilty uffen-
der, and probably more so, as a mild and peaceable man would
les inclined to acquire or exert a morderclu= skill, the c11....a
of which he abhors.

That the preteiiee o: those who would excuse this custom,
on the ground that it polishes society, and meients assassMa-
non, is wholly inifouisd.ni, as the most polished natium of car
tient times—the Grecians and Romans, and the moat humane
and civilised nation of inialetn times--the Chineac, have en-
joyed society in perfection, without the adventitious aid of this
pernitious and unnatural custom; which, though in aired
hostility to the principles of Christianity, prevails only in
Christian Europe and America.
Your Mensori.ilisu have been informed, that although the
comm. 011 low in the land deviate; homicide in a duel In be mur-
der, the law h.. lieeovie obsolete and a dead letter. That all
the decisimas in our Courts of Justice have turned wholly on
the :airimoi with which the duel was conduet,d, and verdias
of Acquittal, or Manslaughter, have constantly been ten-
dared. Titmice arises a necessity for a clear and explicit ea-
mush.' of the Legislative will on this important subjeet, gua-
ranteed by II .nod v.gorous mations.
" Your Nteniurialists, therefore, humbly pray that your Ho
namable House,: would be pleased to take this important sub.
jed into your iiiiists,ioits consideration; and, that sou would
in vow wisdom provide such remedies as mar effe:tually de-
stroy that evil praetice communed of, by regulat.ons wisely cal
lutated to protect the fame and feelings of the innocent and
insalted person ; and to punish tigorrius'y the bold aff,iider
who shall dare to lift his hand against his neighbour, and shed
his blood in a dael, iw violation cf the divine law and the law of

GALVANISM.
.. .
~ .
• --..up.—.
We lately inserted a paragraph, respelling the •
recovery of sight to Richard Cooke, a seaman. Mr.
Creaser, surgeon, of Bath, has since publi:bed the ..,.:
following truly interesting account of this extraordi- 1
nary case:
Richard Cooke, the patient in question, says Mr.
Creaser, received a wound in the right temple, some
years since, in the A of hoarding an enemy's ves-
sel in the West Indies. By this, he was instantly
and totally deprived of sight, ant so continued.—
Being robbed of all ft's money, in the streets of Iron-
don, some time since, he returned to his native place,
Bridgwater, after receiving the assurance of one of '
the first oculist; in London, th it his disease seas in-
capable of relief. The opinion of this Gentleman,
in writing, which is now in my possession, is thus
given :
44 i do nut think that Franck Cooke w it ever be simnel...-. • ;
Ha nu a confir,ned Gotta S,•e,,a--,nd noth.ng out liiioWl3l
anxious desire would have induced ine to try sty recncdy."
Under these prospects. through the humanity of
Mr. Sandford, he became a patient of the Dispen-
sary lately established at Wivelitr•omb, in she county . •
of Somerset, under the auspice, of Lord Somer.:
ville, and several Gentlemen of th it neighbourhood, .
and condufted by Mr. Silly, sur:•eon ; a Gentleman .•'
whose talents and ingenuity ate of the highest or-
der. Mr. S. applied Galvanism with considerable v
boldness, and, on if, ,rt /first applicolima, the unfor-
tunate man was restored to the sight of the eye oppo-
site the seat of injury ; the eye nearest to it having .
probably suffered in its organisation too much to •I
admit of restoration.
To the alt eady existing fads, which induce us
to form high future expedations from the powers of
this wonderful influence, Galvanism, in the relief
of disease, I am happy to contribute my mite of
addition. From several recent instances, and espe-
cially from the removal of a paralytic affection in a
lady, of several years duration. which had pro-
duced total inability to walk, I am persuaded that
this power will constitute a valuable addition to oar
stock of remedial agents. Such, it may be ob-
served, have been our hopes in several other novel-
ties which have been illusory ; but disappoiotment
in these respeds should be rather a stimulus than a
1 reveatitive to future exertions towards advance-
ment in a science, too noble to be suffered to re-
main in any avoidable imperfection.

An entertainment given by the Earl of Sursout, •

bearings of Lord and Lady A %Doren, most exqui-
sitely executed by Lady Joilm
In the even.ng, a ball was given to the families of ".
the worthy and respedful tenants, in whicit they
were joined by some of the loveliest and most ele..
gent, as well as most distinguished women this '
kingdom can boast. At eleven o'clock, the doors of
the hall (which was illuminated and desotated for
the occasion) were thrown open, and a very elegant
and magnificent supper presented itself, to which
about two hundred sat down. About one o'clock,
the dancing again recommenced, and was kept up
with unabard spirit till a late hour in the morning.
The events of this jocund day tended, in an eminent
degree, to shew how far the attachment of good te-
nants to a kind landlord can be carried, and in mark
the benevolence and benignity of an ilinerinus fa- ,
mily, who seem to consider high situations and large
fortune only as the means of rendering happy all
around them. A very good band, belonging to time

the festivity of the d.ty.

with a German, who had got ten guineas from them
under the pretence of ourchasiag cutlery goods,
which they were to hawk about the country, until
they found an opportunity of getting out of the

Naw YEAR'S GIFTS are of greater autiqui
than some persons imagine. The ancient Roma
were fond of conferring them out of respell .t

bestowed a gift herself, at the commencement of the

was for this reason that her Temples were so parti-
cularly crowded in January with votaries, stung her
smiles and favours. But what a throng would
there have been, had Fortune's Temples ,

WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 14.
Mr. Crowningshield presented the petition of Si-
meon Noys, an old revolutionary soldier and non-
commissioned officer, who was disabled in the ser-
vice by wounds and sickness, who, although admit-
ted Ere the pension list by the judges in 1792, has
never received any assistance from the United
States, and praying a pension may be allowed him,
to enable him to support himself, his wife, and
eight children.
On motion, this petition was referred to a Seled
Committee of throe ; but on the suggestion of
Mr. J. C. Smith, the motion was re-considered,
and it was referred to the Committee of Claims.
Gen. Varnum moved that the Committee be in-
reviled to coesider at Lrge the sultjeS relative to
invalid pensions, and the situation of all person•
who were wounded or disabled in the service of the
United States, during our revolutionary war with
cam Britain, and what farther measures are neces-
sary to render them such ample remuneration as
justice may require.—Ordered that the Committee
be instruCted accordingly.
General Varnitm presented a petition from Paul
Noys, praying for the payment of a balance due to
him, for military equipments furnished the army

the Committee ot. Claims.
Dr. Leib mentioned to the House the condition in
which the public buildings (the arsenal at Philadel-
phia), the prop(' ty of the United States, wore; one
of the sections was raised to the first floor, and
some other parts wee left unfinished, indeed all the
uncovered part, of the buildings were more or less
,suffering dilapidation, or going to decay; lie thought
it would be found proden: to finish them, in or-
der to preserve them. He therefore moved that a
Committee be appointed to inquire irao the expedi-
ency of milking provisions,hy law for the comple-
tion of the public buildings belongiug to the United
States near Philadelphia.—Refctred to a SeleCt Com-
mittee of three members.
Mr. Rodney presented a petition fruit John Craw.
fiird, an old soldier of 1776, in the Delaware regi-
:nest, and afterward: engaged in the sea service,
who was twice wout,ted, and three times taken pri•
toner; twice he was confined on board the prison
ships at New York, and once at Halifax. Mr. R.
wished some general regulations could be speedily
made for the small remnant of this brave and men.
vinous, though negleEted and suffering class of our
fellow citizens. The petition was referred to the
Comioitufs of Claims.—Adjourned.

NLW-VORK, WOVEMIIER 12.

Mr. Shuttleff, from the joint committee of the se-
nate and assembly on the communication of the ma-
nager., of the lotteriev under the aa for the edkou-
ragement ,if Literature, reported,
That film the information obtained. it ap-
pears there is a large balance due from Mr. Philip
Ten Eyck, one of the managers, estimated at about
thirty thousand dollars, which he declares himself
unable to make good ; the era& deficiency will de-
pend, however, on the som which can be realised
from certain securities and WO acres of land which
Mr. Ten Eyck has transferred to his associate ma-
nagers for the benefit of the State. From the short-
ness of the time since this de..ilcation became
and the want of pi ecise information on this sithjea,
the Committee cannot at present state to the two
Houses which have produced the ti .ficiertcy in ques-
tion ; they, therefore, recommend that a Committee
he appointed. consisting of the Comptroller, the
Treasurer, and the ,Ittorney-Ceneral, and that they
he dire Sod, during the recess of the Legislature, t.
inquire and ascertain the manner in which the de-
falcation orirtinated, the particular causes prodtirin?
it, what prolierty or security can be obtniiesi i••-
demnify the State, and, generally, to prusite t'
whole, or any part of the balance due.. The (
neittee are of opinion, that inasmuch av tb:se 1: • -
ries are condo red under the slit:Flinn or the T.
!attire, good faith requires that individuals s, •itil •
not be prejudiced by the failure of one of
agents ; the Committee are of opinini that it wiil be
adviseable to pass a concurrent resolution, Ic,!ginr
the faith of the Legislature to apropriate. a• their
next meeting, such sum, not exceeding sue • Jo!
lays, as mar be necessary to enable the managers to
pay the holders of price tickets.
Resolved, That the House agree with the Com-
mittee in their said Report.
Resolved (if the Hon the Senate coml. herein),
That the Legislature will, at their next meeting in the
present session, provide such funds as mar he neces-
sary, not exceeding 8000 dollars, to enable ,he ma-
nagers of Lotteries for the encouragement of Lite-
rature, to proceel with the drawing of the third of
the said lotteries, and the payment of the prizes
drhwit in the same, in like manner as lithe defalca-
non, which has taken place on the part'of Mr. Ten
Eyck, one of the said managers in the third lottery,
had not occurred.

Ordered, That Mr. Dayton and Mr. Deitz deliver
1 copy of the preceding resolution to the Hon. the
Senate.

Resolved (Jr the Hon. the Senate concur herein),
That a Committee be appointed, consisting of !! e
Comptroller, the Treasurer, and the Attorney-Ge-
neral, and that they be direaed during the recess of
the Legislature to inquire and ascertain the manner
in which the defalcation which appears to have tak,yn
place on the part of one of the managers of the lot-
teries for the encouragement of Literature origi:,ated,

the particular causes producing it, what pro;,-rty or
security can be procured to iiwemnify the State, and,
generally, to pursue such lawful measures as they
may deem expedient, an.l calcul tied to secure the
whisk, or any part of the balance due ; that Philip
Ten Evck, one of the said managers, be no longer
continued as such, and that John L. Broome, of the
city of New-York, merchant, be, and he is hereby
appointed a manager in the room of the said Philip
Ten Eyck; and that whenever the said John L.
Broome shall have given bonds to the Comptroll r,
in the thual penalty, fur the faithful discharge of his
ditties a• a manager, he shall enter upon the execu-
tion of the said dune..
Ordered, That Mr. Payton mil Mr. Deit z deli.
ver a copy of the preceding resolution to the Hon.
the Senate.

A copy of a resolution from the 1 ion. the senate,
delivered by Mr. I.'l lommedieu and Mr. Peck, was
read, that the Senate do not concur in the resolution
of this House, appointing the Comptroller. the
Treasurer, and the Attorney-General, a Committee
to inquire and ascertain the manner in which the de-
