V ~PHILADELPHI A, JUNE 9« This forenoon at 11 o'clock, the two llou fts oi Congress "adjourned to die firlt Mon day in NovcnVocr next —then to meet in this city. FkOM jl CORUFSPONDFNT. THE SESSION OF CONGRESS. Two nttratfl our attention to the history of the feffon of Congress jtlft closed; a representation according to the enu meration of the inhabitants, and the extra ordinary events of foreign politics which have greatly affected the sentiments and in tcrcfts of the people, and the proceedings of the Legislature. The long boStled triumph of the murmunn;: and acctifim; party has not happened. An equal reprcfemation of the citizens has'not unraveled tlie systems of the two former Legiflaturcs. ,No mighty frauds hiA'e been exposed, no great offend ers hive been brought to ftfaine or to justice. Sc fir from it the malice of the faction has k< p> a fact instead of a feafl. For instead of freafury corruption, instead Of abuses in the departments* a committee of the house of Representatives after a molt accurate ex amination have tinted in th?ir report an au thentic and itnanfwerable refutation to the whitWered fufpiciohs and bold lies of five years. The eqnal reprcfentation of the peo ple has given a new /auction to the eftabiifh* «•<! lyffeir.s. The provision for the balances du. to the creditor states, snd the auxiliary fine's of new taxes indicate steadiness and p rfeverance, which will fectire the general interest of the people and the refpetflability of the Legislature infinitely better than the frothy novelties and pernicious changes which some factious men had hoped to in troduce. The new members have brought their proportion of patriotifm,of attachment to order and to the present government as well as of good sense. After this if will be rather bold, but not too bold for those who have become by practice hardened in calum ny, to fay, that the people are averse to, the government arid its eltablifted fvltems. The rdort to a committee for plans of finance instead of calling upon the Treasury accord ing to the existing law and former usage has not produced any of the advantages nor drawn after it the changes which were predicted. In (hort, it appears from the session that the government and its me«fures have the popular fancftion and support. The aifls and votes of the representatives of the people af ford better proof that they have, than- the newspaper squibs of a half dozen clamorous malcontent* in eath of our large towns, that they haw not. Yet it is to be expected, the chroniclers of scandal will go on as before to call themfclvcs /' he people. If we attend to the measures of Congress, we fhali fee one system in them all. A system of peace. To make the chance of peace the best possible, they have made preparation for war. These fern words explain the history of the lalt session. Those who like secret hiltory will find abundant materials for their curiosity. 1 he great aim of the party and the insi dious measures they took to carry their point, w .11 be known and understood. The steady citizens who feel an interest in good order will fee the extreme hazard of our peace and honor, and will rejoice in the termination of the session.Events may turn out unfavorable, and war may ensue. But it will be a merited praise even then of the government that they have done all to avert the calamity, and much perhaps enough, to prepare for it. The style of debate has often' been too personal, and lomfjtimes, tho' very seldom there has been a grofsnefs and intemperance of language which a deliberative body fhoulrl always dili ountenance. But the state of affairs fur nifhed some palliations, and we flatter our selves in future to fee Congress quoted as a pattern of temperate dignity and wisdom. Says a Correfpomlent, The Democratic Society resolve one thing, the President of the United States resolves another—A House divided against itfelf can not stand—One cannot serve God and Mam mon. If the Envoy of the President of the United States should go to the Court of London and demand indemnity for the sei zure ot our vessels, and the Envoy from the 1 resident of the Demo Society should go and fay we had rather not have indemnitv, matters would really stand iu a quere pof t)ure Lord Grenville would fay, gentlemen do agree among yourselves. It is evidently tue with of that party to prevent any allow ance for our injuries. Why ? Take away the complaints and what else have they to Hand on ? /. c have hen favored by a gentleman of this City with the following interring arti cle received by the Jhip Harmony from Bourdeaux. Extradt from the record of the Commit tee of Public Safety of the National Convention, dated yth day of Germinal, the .econd year of the French Repub lic, on,e and indivilible.

Sir, 1 WE are appointed by the Democratic Society of the city us New-York, a com mittee to congratulate you on yotir arri val in this country : And we feel the most lively pleasure in bidding you a hearty welcome to thele shores of Liberty and Equality. While the arm of Tyranny is extended in most of the nations of the world, to crush the spirit of liberty, and bind in chains the bodies and minds of mtn, we acknowledge, with ardent gratitude to the great parent of the Univerl'e, our lingular felicity in living in a land, where Reason has fuccefsfully triumphed over the artifi cial diitindtioiifi of European policy and bigotry, and where the law equally pro teds the virtuous citizen of every descrip tion and persuasion. On this occasion wc cannot but observe, that we oneo eftccmed dtirfelves happy m ! the relation that fnbfiJlcd between us and the government of Great Britain—frit t ie multiplied opprtfiions which charac ter, /.e that government, excite in us the I molt pfiinful fenfatigj;,s, and exhibit a fpec ,as i« itfelf,"as diftonorable to the Britlfti name. Ihe governments of the old woiM present to us one huge mal's of intrigue, corruption', and defpotifni— mod of them a ;. e n °"' bafe 'y combined, to prevent the eltabLlhment of .Liberty in France, and to ettett the total deduction of the Rights or Mart. Under these affldting circum itaiices, we rejoice that America opens her arms to receive, with fraternal affec tion, the Friend of Liberty and Human Happiness, and that here he may enjoy the belt bieffings'of civilized society. We sincerely Sympathize with you in a'l that you have fuffered, and we con iiuer the perfeewtion with whicTi you have been pursued by a venal court, and an imperious uncharitable priest-hood, as an ilhiltrioiis proof 6f your personal merit, and a biting reproach to that govern ment, fiom the grasp of whose tyranny you are so happily removed. Accept, Sir, of the sincere and bed wiihes oif the Society whom we repre sent, for the continuance of your health, a.id the inereafe of your individual and domelHc hippinefs. JAMES NICHOLSON, Prejident. To the Members of the Democratic So clety in New-York; GE NTLEMEN, VIEWING with the deepest concern, as you do, the profpeft that is now exhi bited in Europe, those troubles which are the natural offspring of their forms of go vernment, originating, indeed, inthe ("pi nt of liberty, but gradually degenerating into tyrannies, equally degrading to the rulers and the ruled, I rejoice in finding an afyium from persecution in a count y in which tlufe abuies have come to a natural termination, and produced another system of liberty, founded on such wile principles; as, I trull, will guard again It all future a-' buses ; those artificial diftinftioHS in focie-. ty ; from which they sprung, being com pleately eradicated, that protection from violence, which laws and government pro mise in all countries, but which I have not found in my own, 1 doubt not I (hall find with you, though I cannot promise to be a beiter iubjedt of this government, than, my whole conduct will evince that I have been to that of Great Britain. Jultly, however, as I think I may com plain of the treatment 1 have met with in England, 1 sincerely wish her prosperity, and from the good-will I bear both to that country and this, I ardently wi(h, that all former animosities may be fjrgotten, and that a perpetual friendlhip may subsist be tween them.
