ernment fatements of all the receipts and
payments, particularly every payment
made to the orders of each 'miniRer. The
collection ofthefe fatements at. the end of
every year will thew the receipt, the ex-
pences paid, and the nature Of each ex-
pence. The Ultimate Of the expences me-
ceiary for the year 9 has been formed with
the ftrieteh re gard to economy. The re-
venues have been valued with every de-
gree Q pohible preciGon. Thofe revenues
are not adequate to the calculated expen-
diture. The government will propofe to
the Legislative Body what it conceives
the beit expedient to cover this deficiency
and leave to their wifdom to decide on its
propriety.
A linking fund has been created. The
Administration of it will not ~encreaie the
burdens Of the finances ; it will at once
furnih exteniive means of extingu;nainp
the public debt, and prove a powerful IN
ltrument Of public credit. In examining
its operation, it will be found to pronot
iuccefsfully the important end of an Office
Of 1]ecurity for the bonds Of the receivers.
A bank has been founded: feeble, indeed,
as yet; but Whole feeblenefs is in propor-
ton to the actual wants Of circulation.
On a peace it will embrace a range which
our commerce, encreafed by the reaitution
OF our ancient relations, and by the forms
of the revolution, vii, require. The gov
eminent, which has favored its birth with
all It's power, will always protect it by
its influence, will continue to regard it as
a 1acred dcpoit, to be protected by the
power and the fidelity Of the nation.
Other ameliorations will be prefented
in the report o the Minifer Of the finances.
Other plsns of amelioration are fill under
thc eye, and in the contemplation Of Gov
eminent. Once delivered from the chaos
OF adaptations, abales and injufice, eve
ry day will bring a new accelion ofEaluta-
ry principles, and prefsnt new means of
PROPERTY. HoneA citizens, thofe who
have wealth and reputation to prefsrye,
will offer their refources and their fupporf
to a government faithful to the plans which
regard TO good faith and the public inter
eft have pointed out to it.
1t is no longer embarraHed by thoie in
trigues which make a traffic of the confufi-
on OF the finances, nor by that cupidiry
which exchanges at a dear rate, real,
though dieant advantages, for that mifera-
Die iuccour. which only }upplies the wants
Of the prefent moment by adding to the
demands of futuriey. Already companies
Of good credit have entered into engage
ments ON the mott moderate terms, and
have not, as was formerly done, demand
cd any fecuriry in real ponefions for
@fervices which they have not yet per-
formed,
Our fdccefs in war has exceeded our ex-
peetations. -Four armies, all Victorious,

q Qtry. IF the hofpitals are till in diff.
Z 20, adecree fecures to them at leaft the
p15mentof apart of what is due to them
o. the capital of their debts, of which the
redemption was authorized by a law pa1ed
during the laR fe{ion. Meafures have
been taken to afcertain the number of de-
terted children, the number Of whom has
very much increafed of late, and plans are
adopted to fuccosr their wants. Some ma
nufaeures which are peculiar to the ma
ton, and which honour French indutry,
begin now to rife from that langour in
which oar former misfortunes had plunged
them. Painting and culpture have OBJ
tanned encouragement, and are prepared
to traninlit to poRerity.th the traits. and ac-
tons of the heroes who lave combated
tor our independence and our glory. The
monuments of art are preferved and offer
ed to the public admiration, in places
worthy Of containing them. The high.
roads are almoa throughout in a fate Of
alarming decay, but the administration
does every thing to remedy this, which.
the feeble reiources entruited to them en-
ables them to execute. The right ofkeep-
ing up the public roads has received GER
tain notifications which public iuNice,
and public intcref demanded. The per
@ception Of this right, ieparated from the.
obligation of keeping up the roads them
delves, has been confirmed, and a fund is
now provided on proper iecurities, which
will not be vain and illufory as in former
years. The application Of products, fill
too feeble, is Entertained in each depart
mel,t. in proportion to its wants. Inipec-
tion becomes every day more active, and
T~eiponfbility becomes every day more
clear, and approaches nearer I pereetion. I
The government. has extended its views
to interior navigation, ard to canals. 1t
is not to vait projects to which it has d.
reeted its attention, it is not a great fyl-
tenn of general navigation which it wifhes
to create. The conclulion Of the labours
already begun, which refer immediately
to inland navigation, and the commerce Of
France, is all that it now promiies, is all
that the prefent circumstances Of the coun-
try enables it to adopt.
Execution, rather than project, is the
fundamental maxim of its administration.
The finances have been one Of the objects
OF Its c~ontfant INFECTION and anxiety, the
primary bafe, and necenary fupport of all
the plans which canbe formed for the hap
pineis and glory of the fate. The go
vernment has thought it neee.:ary to apply
itielf TO the confederation of all the prin-
ciples, and become acquainted with all the
caufes which can operate either to their re-
f~toration or defruetion. 1t was not merely
funds that were wanting to the Republic
on the 4th Nivofe of the year s /; it was
activity in the fubdiviion, and Allotment
of direet contribution, regularity in the
receipts, care in the difburfements, clear
accountability in the public treafury, a
well managed d~iaribution in the different
channels Of expence.

!remity betwffn the two Nations, but il
is daily expe ID. The caufe of the quar-
rel IS laid tc be ~as. follows: One of the
daughters of Corhplanter had been fck,
and applied for relief TO a famous doeerefs
OF the Muniees, under whole hands fne di-
ed. A iecond daughter took III and alto
applied to the Muniee doArefs, and is now
lying at the point of death. Thefe cir
seumitances induced Cornplanter to believe
that his daughter had been poifoned.-
Dung Henry Cornplanter, (who had been
educated i'll Philadelphia) in fit of rage
killed the Munfee doetrefs; ard her matt
on are determined to have atisfaetion for
the murder. 1t is however agreed, that.
ln.caie OF the death Of the fecond daughter
81 CornPlanter, the Muniees are willing
TO admit that his daughters have been poi
toned, and that the pnnifbment inflicted
was Juit; but that fhould fhe recover.
they are determined to avenge the death Of
their doetrefs in a pitched battle, agreed.
upon by both parties. The ground for
this Purpofe has been laid oa'on the heads
OF OIL creek, about thirty miles beyond
Fort Franklin. All is anxiety and ex-
pectasion tor the fate. of the daughter of
Cornplanter.
The Muniees are fa;d to be more war
like and powerful nation than the Senecas.
The former count for hundred warriors );
and the latter three hundred. Should the
expected battle take place, each nation
will bring all her warriors to the field.
It is alto rumonred that Cornplanter has
tent delegation to the PRECEDENT Of the
United States, claiming his aliRance in
the event of a war. Our frontier fettlers
coniider themiclves in critical ftuation,
as they are completely furrounded by the
two contending parties.

Indians going to Var.

BY a gentleman direct from Lake Erie,
we learn, that there is every probability
OF a war breaking out between the Seneca
chief Cornplanter, and the Munfce nation
OF Indians. The gentleman who brings
the information, fays, that duri=g his
journey out, the road from Franklin to
Erie was, in different places, lined with
Indian encampments but, that on his re-
turn, they had moved off. The Munfeee
were daily in their war drefs, and painted.
They were very fly with the whites, fuf-
peeting them to be favorable to the inte-.

trade with them, for any oftheir venifon,

The death Of the Elector of COLOGNE
has given new fimulus to the cupidity
OF the principal powers. The court of
Vienna is deGroos that the dignity of that
tccieliaitical Electorate fhould be confer
rcd upon one Of the young Archdukes the
Emperor's brother, the Archduke Antho-
ny. Pruifia, on the other hand, has init
mated, by fpecihc note to the Chapter Of
Cologne, prefented by the baron De Dohm,
that they ought to delft from the election
OF new Sovereign, till the arrangements
rendered necefary by the 9TH article of the
treaty of Lunevile, are completed. 1t is
not difficult TO fee that Praflia expects to
profit by the fpoil of this electorate.
