whole Of this large extended country.
PHILADELFAIA, April :.
We this day pubifh the report of the grand
committee Of our houfe Of afcmby, on the fob
iea of calling convention. From this report
il appears that majority Of the committee are
in favor Of revolution, though they with more
perfectly to aicertain the popularity Of the mca-
fure, before they will venture to call conven-
ton. we however confider the report as ad-
ding greatly to the probability, that the revotu-
tionary faction viii ultimately fucceed as thofe
n,embers Of the Legislature who have Joined that
party, and who are laid to compete a majority
of both houfes, will doubtefs exert their infu
ence among their conitituents to enlure fuccels
TO their revolutionary projects.
The governor has rcturncd another bill,
which was a favoTite one with the reyolutionifs,
without his llgnature. The party have become
70 charged, that they can retain their fury no
longer and the whole kennel which u(ed to be
kept and trained BY Mr. M'kean and his friends
for worrying their political adverlaries, are now
let loofe upon him. He and Mr.. Dallas are O.
pehly denounced and inlulted IN ali the papers
oF the new faction, and are likely 10 be COM
plcteIy trodden under foot by that very delcrip-
tion Of people upon Whole flou!ders they have
heretofore been elevated.

We have ftrong ground to believe that the
mother of the Empreis Bonaparte IS pafengcr
on board the friqatc La Vile de Milan. lately
captured by the Brltifh frigate Leander, and car
ried into Bermuda. 1t is certain thar re,eated
invitations were fent to this lady from France.

Firit Coniul, all Of which were rejected nm
on the plea that the tenure by which her fon-in
law held his Office was too unfable and preca-
rious to warrant the propticty Of her leaving
the TRANQUIL retreat which lle pofeilcd in Mar.
