c,/6f the 3poled convention, fome YER
N diferencdi between the Engliih coun-
%er-projett and the fecond French project,
= are not intended to be here adverted to.
If the more important points of the ne
gociation were satisfactorily adjuAcd, it
would be neceGary to make fome remarks
on thefe, and poGbly ALTO to propofe, for
the fake of preciiion, few verbal altera-
tions or additions to the original articles:
but none Of thefe appear likely in that cafe
to create any ferrous difficulty.
1tnisht be iuficient to include under
this referve the two variations made in the
preamble of the convention.
But it may perhaps be more proper for
you to fate at this time the following OBJ
fervations refpeeting them, viz.
I. That the mention of the REFLECTIVE
allies, in the form-in which thefe words
are introduced into the French preamble,
ieems to imply of nece]1ity, not only that
the negotiations fhall (as is the kings in
tention) be carried on with view to
general peace alone, 70 as to include in the
final adjuAment 1.-The allies on both 1ides,
but alto that thofe allies fhould immediate
~ be called upon to take part by their mi
niiters in the propoied negotiation; a
queition which his majeity concelves may
more conveniently be re1erved to future
diicuiiion, -inftead of being prejudged by
the terms of any feparate agreement for
an armifice between Great Britain and
France.
2. The expref1ions ufed in the French
project, reipecting the continental arn,if-
tice, appear unbecoming towards the kings
allies, and cannot therefore be agreed to
by his majeRy.
8. The word "eqxivalent,'' as there
inherited, ieems to anume, as the BATS of
the naval armifice, that principle of full
compensation to which the king has alrea-
dy refufed his content.
1t ihould in like manner be mentioned
by you, that, in the frR article, the omilli-
on OF the words 6 foyres Of" feems to i'm
ply more complete fuipenfon Of the fate
OF war between the two powers than ac-
cords with the nature of an armiitice, or is
contiftent with the conditions particularly
thoie Rejecting the tranfport Of naval and

THERE, was a numerous meeting at the
Shakcipeate Tavern on Saturday, conven-
ed for the purpo{e of the celebration. Mr..

The fra toat given by Mr.. Fox, was,

The fecend ,oaa given ALTO by Mr.. Fox
was, .. Succcfs TO the preliminaries OF
peace, and TO the dc6nitive treaty, and
may there be permanent peace between
Great Britain and the French Republic" :"
This toait was received with loud and re-
iterated applauie.
Mr.. Erkine then rofe to give the health
ofMr. Fox. He faid, he could not but
remark on the Gnguiar coincidence which
.sppeared this day in the arrival OF the ra-

for him to rejoice in its conclufon. and It
was conGiten, in him to propois the toatt
which he had given. His honorable friend
had made every effort to terminate the war
at different periods when peace would
have been wife, juR, and politic. A
peace was now found TO be indilpeniable

TUESDAY Dsc. s. .aC
A motion was made by Mr..
Nicholfon, from Maryland, Gecond-
ed by Mr.. Giles, from Virginia, re-
quiring the Secretary of the Trea-
fury to lay before the Houfe a fate
ment of the receipts and expendi-
lures of Timothy Pickering, late
Secretary of State. During fome
converfarion on this ,fubje6, the
Mefage from the Preiident was re-
ceived; the reading of which occu-
pied the greater part of the fitting.
The Mefage and Papers accompa-
nying it were ordered to be printed.
After the reading of the Mefage,
the motion reipeeting Mr.. Pickering
recurred. 1t was fomehow modiii-
ed, and deferred for confederation
until Mondy next. The Houfe then
adjourned. Faf@
After reading the Mefiage of
the Preiident in the Houfe of Re-
prelcntatives of the United States, a
delultory converiation took place ON
the printing. Mr.. Randolph and
Mr.. Giles were for printing the
Meiiage and documents accompa-
nying it, FIVE hundred copies of
each. Mr.. Bayard for printing on.
ly $50 of the documents, and 500
Of the Meaage. He argued thar
the expence would be too great, as
the documents we're voluminous,
and it would be repugnant to the
economy now purifying, befide that
the Houfe having diipenfed with the
reading of them, did not know what
they were.
Mr. Giles complimented the
gentleman from Delaware on his
difpoGtion to economy, and hoped
TO fee it manifelted during the fef-
fion. For his part he was fond of
economy, but it was an economy of
money, not of PHh|iGsi pformation (;
he thought the Az could not be
too well informed On that point
there had been much economy here
tofore, but very little economy the
other way. There were perfons in
all parts of the Union equally CON-
petent with the members of that
Hou(e to form an opinion on thofe
documents, and he wifhed them to
poilels the means.
Mr.. Bayard aGured the gentle
man of his dilpoGtion to 60 as far
as he ihould in a liberal economy.
But the means of information pro-
poled, he confidered inadequate to
the end. Each member would re-
ceive four copies of thele documents,
and what means would they afford
to all their conltituents ? He, for
inltance, reprefented $4,000 per-
fons; what ufe would four copies
be to that number /!
Mr.. Giles oblerved that the
objection made to printing 500 CO.
pies of the documents, would equal
ly apply to 500 of the Mefage to
which they belonged /; furely the
documents will be as adequate as
the Meaage. The queltion for 500

(C0neluaea from oHr Aaf.
No material alteration therefore in the
bill asreported by the committee was made.
During debate, however, on the judicia-
ry part of the bill, a bill was tent from the
fenate, the only object of which was to di-
vide the diltritt into two counties, one on
each fide of the Potomac; and to eftablilh
Judiciary fyeem for the dieritt: For
which three judges were to be appointed,
one fupreme judge at lalary Of 1000 dol
lars, and two aHociates at 1000 dollars
per annum. To hold in each county four
fetlions annually. Provifon was alto made
for all the apparatus of court, and for the
future trials of caules. This bill it was
attempted to incorporate with the bill of
the houie, but after fome days delay it
was pafed alone with fome amendments
in which the fenate concurred. It is
fuppofed the bill 70 far paned in the
houfe for appointing governor and le-
gillative body is dropped for the prefent
felton,.
On the quefion for pafing the bill from
the fenate, as amended in the houfe, Mr..
Randolph moved the pofponement of the
quefion till Thurfday, not becaufe he then
hoped to get greater number to vote a.
gainit the bill than at prefent, but becaufe
the iub(ett was of nature 70 ferrous as to
demand Of him lone time for confederation,
as to its effects upon people 70 peculiarly
placed by the contribution.
The motion for pofponement was mega
tiyed.
Mr.. Randolph then rofe to offer his OBJ
jeetions to the bill. He faid that he was
perfectly aware of the general indif pofition
Of the houfe to give attention to arguments
which were offered to their confederation,
and he was fully apprized that this temper
was peculiarly prevalent on the prefent &C.
caGcn; he fhould therefore fate the few
obferyations which he was about to offer
in the form Of opinion, rather than of ar
gument. He could have wifhed that an op
portunity had been afforded which would
have enabled him to deliver them in fate
LET'S crude. But fnce the motion to poft-
pone the confederation Of this bill had not
prevailed, he was unwilling to omit an op-
portunity Of recording his dinent to bill
fraught with many obviou1y pernicious
effects, and with others unforefeen, but
perhaps not lefs ruinous. MIR. R. declar-
ed that his objections to the bill went to
any which could be brought in--they
were objections to that part of the conffi-
tuition which gave to congrefs the power
Of legiAating excluGvely over the diftriet
which might become the permanent feat
of their deliberation. That contribution,
it would be recollesfed, was an expert
