By the President of the United States of America, A Proclamation. WHEREAS by information given upon oath, it appeal's that in the night time of the twenty second day of November, a number of armed men hav ing their faces blackened and being other wile disguised, violently broke open and entered the dwelling house of Benjamin Wells colleftorof the revenue arifingfrom spirits distilled within the United States, in and for the counties of Weftmoreland and Fayette in the dirt rift of Pennsylva nia, and by allaulting the said colle&or and putting him in fear and danger of his life, in his dwelling house aforefa:d, in the said county of Fayette did compel him to deliver up to them his commiiiiun for col lecting the said revenue, together with the books kept by him in the execution of his said duty, and did threaten to do further violence to the said colle&or, if he did not (hortly thereafter publicly renounce the further execution of his said office : And whereas several of the perpetra tors of the laid offence are still unknown, and the fafety and good order of society require that such daring offenders should be discovered and brought to justice so that infractions of the law may be prevent ed, obedience to them secured, and officers proteited in the due execution of the trulls reposed in them, therefore I have thought proper to offer and hereby do offer a re ward of TWO HUNDRED DOL LARS for each of the said offenders that lhall be discovered and brought to justice for the said offence, to be paid to the per son or persons who (hall firft discover and give information of the said offenders to any judge, justice of the peace, or other magistrate. And I do hereby ftri&ly charge and enjoin all officers and minilters of justice according as their refpeftive duties may require, to life their best endeavors to cause the said offenders to be discovered apprehended and secured, so that they may be speedily brought to trial for the offence aforefaid. In Testimony whereof I have / . \caufed the seal of the United J States of America to be affixed to these presents, and signed the fame with my hand.

By the President Edm : Randolph. CONGRESS Houfc of Rcprcfcntativcs. January 28. In committee of the whole on Mr. Mudifon's resolutions. SPEECH of MR. MURRAY. ( Concluded.) In no country that Mr. Murray recol le&ed, did the history of the carrying trade show us a people overflowing with raw materials and natural wealth, inhabit ing a new, extenlive, fertile foil, who be came great carriers. If we examine the causes that made Ve nice and Genoa and other free states of Italy, the carriers for the Weft of Europe, through the Straits of Gibraltar, to all the states that were rich enough to pur chase, or refined enough to enjoy the lux uries of Alia and the Mediterranean, we find them, small; with no extent of ferti lity or foil ; and with a population over flowing, and difproportioned to the land labor or its produce. The Hanfe-Towns, the Dutch and the Englilh, with a few fliades of difference, were similarly situa ted when they became the successors to these republics in the carrying tnide. I Whole No. 525.] Had all of them abounded in those bulky raw materials which arise from a foil like ours ; with spare population, with a great disparity between labor and its objects, they never would have been the great car rying nations they were. We (hould have seen something like that equipoise of em ployment which the genius of our own country leads to ; and agriculture at lead disputing the pre-eminence with navigati on, which in our country, is but her hand maid. We have, indeed seen similar habits and systems. The insular position of Great- Britain, her neighborhood and hostile ri vallhip with the Dutch, who preceded her in arts and in navigation, pointed out the navigation ast to the Parliament, in 16 J I, as an inllrument of resentment—and it seemed naturally to arise from her national qualities. But it is observable and important in considering the cause which rendered that ast advifeable, that notwithstanding her insular situation, and her fulnefs of inha bitants, there was wanting for half a cen tury, that co-operation of causes, which occurred to give it all the efficacy it has been attended with since. The proportion of Britilh and foreign shipping was but little in favor of England, till eleven years after the peace of Rvf wick, at which period, in 1697, the Bri tish tonnage was 144,000, and the fo reign tonnage an 100,000. The causes that then began forcibly to operate in fa vor of the British, eleven years after, when the Britilh. tonnage was 240,000, and fo reign but 45,000, were as irrefiitible as to that effect, as they are remote, and for tunately so, from this country. A union with Scotland had taken place, and in creased her exports ; the manufactures of the country had received great compara tive improvements; the American filhe ries began to improve ; —Jamaica, which is immensely important to her, and a kingdom in itfelf, became a considerable object ; but above all, these independent states, who were then very growing colo nies, became felt in the scale of national interest, and poured their bulky materials into her lap. Without a colonial system, she would not have felt the benefit of her navigation act. With a colonial system, flie, and other countries pofleffed of colonics, have in ducements and employment for a dispro portion of navigation that this country is without, and needs not in her present progressive state of all things. And yet the gentleman's system looks to a naviga tion ast, at a time, when all is convulsion without—and where none, or very few of the causes that have led to such a scheme in other countries, are visible in our in ternal affairs. For if we look into our local situation, we find a mod extensive and fertile country sparingly inhabited, and abounding in natural wealth. If we look at the Englilh, we find contracted territory, redundancy of population, few or no raw materials, and scarcity of the necessaries of life, with large capitals, and the greatest exertion of ingenuity in ma nufactures. Importation of manufa&u l es has been our praflice, and seems, under the pre sent degree protc&ion given to those which are adapted to our immediate at tempts to be our interelt. We import no raw matei ials scarcely, nor grain nor ne ceflaries. They on the contrary, import almoil eveiy thing, and manufadlure eve ry thing. In (hort, our situation is com pletely a contrail to theirs, and it is a con trail infinitely to our credit and comfort. It had led his mind to a full conviction, that all our powers would gradually ame liorate together, and if left, as they have hitherto been, more to the exertions of an enterprizing spirit and feeedom, than rigidly directed by speculation and theory they would in the fulnefs and feafonable nefs of time, accomplilh the extent and grandeur of design which nature seems i» R.
