MONDAY, December II.
Wb0 eoa7 be THE uest P,sfdsut is uu
certain.
When the Contribution was formed it
was forefcen that majority Of electors
appointed might fail to give their votes
to any One perfon, and that the Houie of
Representatives, voting by aates, Nigh,
tai to give majority Of votes to either
OF the perfons out of whom they are bound
to eleei, whether between two. having
an equal number and majority of the e.
leetors, or between the five highea OF
the lift, neither having majority of the
electors appointed.
The neceihty of having PRECEDENT a.
ways in being was obvious. Therefore
the Contribution enacted, that 6 the Con-
greis may by law provide for the cafe
I" OF remov0l, death, reignation or ina
bllity both Of the PRECEDENT and Vice
PRECEDENT, declaring what officer l1aiis
!" then act as PRECEDENT, and fuch Office
ihall act accordingly, until the difabi
lity be removed or PRECEDENT fhall b.
elected. = In pnrfuance of this prov;.
hon law was pafied Oh the frf Of March,
1872, by which " the PRECEDENT of the
Senate, PRO tempore, and in cafe there
/" be no PRECEDENT of the Senate, then the
Speaker of the Houie Of Repreienta
!" tiyes, for the time being, fhall act as
!" PRECEDENT of the United States, until
:" the disability be removed, or PyrE-.
I" dent fhall be cleefed.''
The Preident and Vice PRECEDENT be-.
ing elected for the term of four years, com
mencing on the 4th of March: they can
continue in Office no longer than until the,
laf moment of the sd of March in the
fourth year after the commencement of the
Proficiency, when they are removed from
office by virtue of the Contribution.
In providing fuccenor in the cafe Of
removal from Office, it is probable the
Contribution contemplated few cafes like
ly to happen, but the constitutional reno
walls Of the PRECEDENT and Vice PRECEDENT, ;,
which removals were certain to occur at
the fame time every fourth year, and whe-
Their the vacancies 70 occurring would be
filed up by an election could not be other.
wife than uncertain.
But the Contribution authorizes Con-
grefs to provide by law for fucceaor in
all cafes Of removal Of PRECEDENT and Vice
PRECEDENT, and confequently in the cafe
when the PRECEDENT and Vice PRECEDENT
fhall be removed according to the confti-,
tutional tenure Of their reflective offices.
This Interpretation Of the text in the
Contribution that has been quoted, is to
be maintained not only for the realons

ted at 40 guns, accordingly fhould have
between three and four hundred men on
hoard T: inRead Of which, her complement
was reduced by iicknefs and other cauHes,
TO 100 Or 40 men, a number but barely
Efficient to work the hip; the number Of
the officers was reduced to one lieutenant,
afailine matter, marine officer, furgeon,
and three or four midfhipmen, two Of
whom were too fmall to afford much fer

Of a Elip, may now form an idea OF what
alittance veAel, under thote circumi9an-
ces, could afford to city and forts about
to be attacked by. fifteen hundred men,
which was the number Of the French ex-
clu.r. We Of the negroes who joined them.
All the aflifance therefore the Engliih
couldor didgive, previous to the Patapicc
eotering the harbor Of An1fcrdam, was by
tending from the Nereide one lieutenant
ard FIVE men, who took poneilion of what
rhey called battery, which coniaed of
one brais eighteen pound cannon. This
paltry fuccor, as may be fuppofed, was not
the ilighteh impeachment to the operations
of tie French. After the meeting Of the
commanders, it was concluded as abiolute-
~ neceaary for one Of the ihips of war to
en.er the harbor to act as floating bate
ny to prevent the French from attacking
AnA}erdam; TO this iervice the Patapfco
was defined. She accordingly entered
tue harbor on the evening of tie 27d Sep

m,rccd a heavy fire from the:- battery ON
the welt fde Of the town from icveral field
pieces charged with muaset balls, which
were placed ona wharf within fifty yards
ofwherc the fhip lad to pafs. They ALTO
commenced heavy fire Of Iauketry from
the roofs and windows Of the houfes.
Tie number OF mulberry was net known,
but from the quicknels- Of the FIRE, there
NUT have been ieyeral hundreds. The
fire from the fhip dilmoanted. two of the
field pieces, and compelled the French to
abandon that part of the town frontine
the harbor.
, The French now expected that the other
lhips OF war in the ot1ing, meditatec
an attack on their veliels. The troops
which were intended to form Fort Replb-.
ic, were immediately recalled to the de-
fence OF the expected attack of their ihip-
Eng. They were ALTO imprened with an
idea OF the American fhips having troops
on board and what strengthened their
opinion was the landing in the morning,
from the Patapfco, an officer with 70 81
the crew, to take poneflion of one OF the
! &c IN which was the principal part OF
the military flores. In coriequence OF
THIS TN standardization Of the American crew.
they deipaired of ever taking the iAand.
and immediately prepared for iecurine the

which you announced this melancholy event.
and the certainty and circumf IN ial m manner in
which you give this intelligence were fuficient
