on did not in the leaf mend the report,
for that the commif1ionerss had de-.
elared in their report that shefe renltsan-
ces were executive Of monies in the hands
Of agents, and Of coutie contained only
,hoic purchales Of remittances, otwhieh the
commissioners had received regular &C
counts, and the OBJECTION as had been be-
fore explained, was not only that they had
not fsted ereciiely the amount OF remit.
saaces, bur they had not fated the monies
remaining ia the hands OF agents.
One gentleman from Maryland (Gen.
snith) has mentioned the ials of the bank
ihares, and expreaed bis appreciation OF
that extraordinary nlealuie. That trani-
action had nothing TO do faid Mr.. G.
with the refolution Under confederation.
He hoped however as the iubjett had been
mentioned as late as twas, that it would
be brought under difcniiior. He fhould
however content himf:if at this time,
with faying, thar from careful examinati-
on OF the law OF 1856 and the clrcumitan-
ces Of the Gale he was perluaded that the
fale was unauthorized by law and that
this large amount of property was iacri-
feed by faIe much below Its va lue, and
thar he differed altogether from the gen.
man from Maryland in refpcd to the ne
GETTY and the prudence Of the 'meaiuTe.
Mr.. Grifwold faid that he would con-
clude the remarks which he had toi iubralt
upon the refolution, as,no oppohtion had
been made to il, by fsying thar although
he did not charge the commlaioners
with any abfolute Multiplication OF the
public money, yet he knew in the ma
nagement Of ten millions, favorites
might ea6ly be accommodated with the
ufe oflarge fums, and tbole who consroul-
ed this enormous fun might IN variety
of ways avail ,hemfe!ves of its ufe, with.
out leaving much room for Detection even
after detailed account had been rem
dered.
The qdeaion was then taken by yeas
and nays on agreeing to the refolutions
Of Mr.. GRISWOLD, ard unanimously
carried in the Affirmative.

PHILADELPHIA, June rs.

The following article appeared in an
evening paper Of yeferday. Since that
we have made numerous enquiries, with
view 80 obtain q perufal of the letter,
which is faid 10 contain information of 70
novel nature. In this endeayouring we
have not iucceeded. We learn however
that letter to this effect was received
yeRerday by gentleman in this city !;
but il unfortunately had no date ! The
letter was accompanied or encloied in a
mother from Spain, dated the 18th ofMay,
and from this circomaance it Is iuppoted
10 have been written about the fame peri
cd. The information il contains is fiat
ed to have been julf received at Spaniih
barrier town. from France. Who has re-
ceiyed the lette. we have nor afcegtalnsd.
The information above given is directly
derived from his excelIency the Spanifh
miniaer in this city, who, we are INFORM
ed, repofes iomc confidence in lis contents.
Letters of late date were yeferday
morning received in town from Spain
which mention that at the moment when
it was expected that hofilities@ould COM
mence between c.. Britain and France,
Lord Mslmefbury was ordered to Paris to
take the place of Lord Whisworth. 1t is
therefore prefumed that the negotiation
has aiumed fome new form.
We have not been able to fee thefc ler-
ters and therefore cannot be particular as
to dates and circumstances but what we
have mentioned may be relied upon as lub-
itantially correct.

dent, who in his executive capacity, and
particularly in his foreign relations, is the
great representative of the whole people
Of the United States, and of the particu-
Ter Ratcs, or members of the conledera-
ton. Ii thefe three branches, with ia
dietary, in the appointment OF which tie
people hold no voice, reiide all power to
make, explain, and execute laws.
Here we difcoyer in the tef2e roright
or authority but that of elealous no posv-
II to tranfaa any part Of administration,
to frame laws, TO explain, or adminieer
them, 10 determine on peace or war, TO
make tfeatries, iend anabaiadors, or, in
fine, to do any sae al IF government.
It's true the nomination Of mott Of thafe
il Whole hands the affairs of government
are entruaed may be traced to the people,
from whom in the hra infance all power
mutt proceed bus this no more continues
a democracy than if the people ar itated
intervals elected aking, and sruaed every
department to his management. The
great excellence of the franchife Of election
is, not that it gives pave, TO the people,
and enablesstbem TO adminiaerthe govern.
nent and confsquently abufe il, but that
it gives fecurity, as far as human prudence
can guard againa grievances, for enjoy
msnt Of chartered rights, the exemption
from unneeeiIary taxation, and burthen-
fome Embellishments, BY returning into the
hands of The people, at certain periods the
right of removing from Office thole who
hare abufed public confidence, and of no.
minating ia their place thoic who will
correct the evils alrdeady committed.
They who Aatter the inordinate love of
power which exits ia every breah, by
holding up the FLY phantom Of authority
to each fraction of popular (svereignsy,
either ignorantly mlitake, or wiltally
mifrepreient the genius and ipirit of our
contribution, which, as is proven, gives to
| the people no power Of committing fin
gle ass Of governments, bot provides for
their iecurily by enabling them at regu-
lar intervals to remove their governors
from office.
In hne, the arguments adduced TO prove
that the republic Of the United States is
a democracy, only fhews that it has tie
democratic principle interviewer with the
o theirs of which il is compounded ; this is
not an attempt TO be denied bnt in like
manner the fame arguments might prove
that the government of Great Britain is a
democracy, becaufe the people there en-
10y the elective fran hlfe in the appoint.
nrnt of one branch of its lcgiilature. In
both there is more or lefs Of the three
forms. In Great Britain leis, in the u.
States more OF the Democratic and it
will not be denied that the power of cur
executive, and the functions of our fenate
partake of the Britiih form that the pre-
fident of the United States has many OF
the Discretionary powers OF Britifh mo-
march anG that our fenate in all relpetfe,
lsxcept not being a hersditary1 has equal
and in fome cafes more authority than a
