hated ta create it ; 1 will not pretend, gentlemen,
that it it in my power to fugged, or in your's to
provide, an adequate remedy. Some reformation,
however, w#uld probably be produced, by aug
menting the penalties again [I all kinds of gambling
—by amending the laws for the relief of insolvent
debtor*—and by reviving the aft for the regulation
©f bankruptcy. It must be remembered, likewise,
that every measure which tends to annihilate a fic
titious credit, and to counterafl a fraud in trade,
will, with equal force, invigorate the real capital of
our commerce, and encourage its fair and salutary
operations. And if, after the eftahlidiment of a sys
tem that will do ample justice to creditors, by pre
venting their debtorj from committing a wr.de or
concealment of pioperty, you (hall I e riifaofej to
abolilh the practice of imprisonment for debt, the
principles of our couditutio-, of tK? common law,
and of found policy l will, in my opinion, warrant
and approve the aA.
At the opetrng of the lad session, it was intima
ted, that tlie footing on which marine insurances,
inland bills of exchange, and promissory notes, ex
ited in Peanfylvania, might be rendered more se
cure and fa isfaiftory to the public, by adopting, in
relation to the refpe&ive objects, fnch of the po
sitive regulations of foreign countries, as experi
ence had proved to be beneficial. Allow me, under 1
the preflura of encreafing inducements, to renew
the recommendation at this time ; and particulaily
to observe, that the preference given hy law to pro
mifTory notes, discounted at the bank of Pennfyl
vinia, (an inditution in which the (late has veiled
its pecuniary capital) has been deemed a singular
departure from the disinterested and liberal policy,
that charafierifvs onr legislative code.
Having thm reviewed the general fitua'ion of the
public affairs, and cursorily pointed-out the princi
pal improvement that may be made in our police,
I proceed, gentlemen, with the highed fatisfa&ion.
to inform you, that the date of our finances will
assure to all your undertakings, for advancing the
interest and happiness of our corfftituenn, an abun
dant and constant supply of_ wealth. Ti-e debta
and duties paid into the treasury, from the fir ft of
January to the firft of November lad, (to which
(everal important payments have finee been added)
amount tothefumof 265,580d011ars and 82 cents;
and this fum,together with the pre-exilling bjlancc
of 90,189 dollars and 52 cents, c»ndi;ute a fund
355'77° dollars and 24 centß, which is much
moie than fufficient to meet all :he.contifiger* i<.j of
the expiring year. For, the dedudtion to he made
during the correfpording period, in order to de
fray the expencesof government, to discharge the
public debts, to advance tl.e public improvements,
(including the fcveral grauts for enlarging the Penn
sylvania liofpital, and finishing the house intended
for the accemmodation of the President) and to
supply the variety of miscellaneous disbursements,
dated in the report for the department of accounts,
amounting only to the sum of 282,444 dollars, will
be found to have left in'the treasury, on the firft of
November lad, a specie balance of, at lead, 73,326
dollars. . ,
The principal fourees of revenue, which ha*c
been edablifhed, preclude, likewise, (as I have da
red) the spprrbmetion of failuve . ur disappoint
ment, in prosecuting on a liberal and judicious scale
the important obje&s of your admtuidration.
From the public capital, veded in the Bank of
Pennsylvania, an ahnual dividend of 90.000 dol
lars mrty be confidently expefied. From the dock
of the United States, which is the propeity ol Penn
sylvania, an annnal sum of about 6,679 dollars is
now enjoyed ; which, when enereafed hy the e
*entful produfl of the deferred Rack, will amount
to an annual sum of about 35,690 dollars, liable,
however, upon the payment of the principal, ac
tording to the dipulated indalmcjai.jf the arts of
Cdngrefs, to be gradually diminifccd, and finally
extinguished at the close of the year 1818. Frcm
the duties k fees colleflcd o« tavern & marriage li
cences, on sales at audlion, and in the public offi
ces, we may compute an annual accumulation of -
50,000 dollars : And the combined result of these
ftveral items, con flit utir.g the ascertained revenues
of the date, fumilhei an income of 146,69 a dol
lzrs.
But it .mud, also, be taken into our view, that
the contingent refourcesarifmg from the arrearages
of tuxes, from the salts of the town and out-I»;s on
.Lake Erie, and on the western frontier (including
the forfeited lots in the town opposite Pittsburgh,
which I direfled to be disposed of,-J "frum the re- I
ceipts of the Land-Office, and from the coIIe&ioH
of various debts, will in the piogrefs of several years
greatly augment the eliding capital of the date. i

In this bright, but foitiifol profptiS of our Fi- I

burfement of the loan, obtained from the bank of f
North America, on a pic 'ge of the duties atiftsg t

fideration the expediency of eftabjifhtng a general \-
rule, for employing the furpltis specie, which accu- p
mutates from litre to time, in the treasury ; and u
which, according ro the exiding f) stem, will often, I
for a corfiderable period, and to a great amount,
be us less and unpioduflive. The policy recom

which the conveniency of the members might pre

, A perfect view of the inrereds of Pcnnfylvama,
leading us naturally to contemplate her relative si
■ tnation, a member of the Union, it will not,
1 gentlemen, be deemed ohtrufive or improper, at
• tVis important a;ra, to close my communications
j wuh a reference to the general tranquillity, order,
and profpe.ityof the iider dates. f'Our
had fcarce.y rtcruiieo the (Irength exhanded in her
revolutionary contell, and fcajcely surmounted the
embarrafTmeDts produced by her firft feeble confe
dera ion, when the fndden and irreliftable explo
sion, which dill (hakes the p ilincal atmosphere of
Europ-, nrged to a severe and painfuj ted the pas
sions of her ci'< Bert's, and the energies 'of her go
vernment.—The love of liberty and the fenfc of
obligation created in the A merican mind an honor
able predileflipn for the CEufe of the French peo
ple; but the duties and the intereds of a neutral
charadler imposed upon our government the adop
tion of a fyrtem, !>y which .u.ne of the belligerent
powers might have renfon to complain of ihe"viola
tion iif niir faith, and all would be compelled to
acknowledge rhe rcftitudt of our impartiality. The
fame fkiiful and patriotic hand that had led ns, tii
umphaiiily, through he and conflict of a
seven year's war, wn» again employed, at that ar
duous peuod, ia pointing out the p*'h of judice,
and peace; and the effefls of ihe.atifpicioßs
couife that his been purfned are visible throughout
the land. Notwithstanding the inconveniences and
outrages to which our coiiimcrce has been uuhap
pily 'xpoftd, the citiea and ti w 3 of th«
have flourifhtd lii arts .itid opulence ; the face ot
the country has beer improved and beau
tified ; and all the ilople proJuflsof the American
foil have been cultivated ami m itttred beyond the
med Enticipatidn. The blessing of be
ing prefervrd frr m a participation in the European
war, has been consummated by the cessation ~f In
dian hcdilities on our frontiers; nor will it be elli
matrd as a gratification of ineonfiderable value,
that the exertions of the federal government have,
at length, releeled our unfortunate fellow-citizens
from the Algeri-e enpfivi'y, fedori-ig them to ci
vil freedom, and Jomcftic comfort.
But/at this moment, gentleme'ff, circumdancei
•wfis w!f t h are calculated to cad a (hade upon the
fptendour of the scene that has been defrrihed, ani'.
to iutertupt thecurrent of our enjoyments Yn'ti
will ieadi!y perceive that 1 allude to the Prefident'-
retreat fiom public life—and to the diflatisfafliip
which tlie French republic has exprcfled at the con
duit of our government.
NWith refpefl, however, to the latter of thef:
painful events, we may impii itly expe*3, that' tit
probity, moderation and wisdom, of the federal au
tharity, and the judice and magnanimity of thecx
ecutive direfloiv, will speedily furnifh an effeaual
relief, by restoring the natii>ns to that date of con
sider e, concord and amity, which can alone be con
genial with the popular feelings, and the political
intereds, of both the republics. But in r< linquifh
ing the adtive services of a patriot, who has so me
ritorioirily swayed the fffeftions of hii fellow-citi
zens ; and so fuccefsfully executed the councils of
his country ; we mud, in vain, attempt >0 calculate
the loss, and can derive confutation frorr. this reflec
tian alone—that, while the grateful love sad vene
ration of his ctrmporaries (hall give to his retreat
all the solace that this world can bestow, the rich
inheritance of his example and his fame (hall be the
palladium and pride of our lated posterity !
" Thus deprived in our public trar.fa&ions of the
benefit of those virtues and talents, that might well
inspire univtr sal confidence ; and of those aufpicet, |
which have hitherto given a propitious damp to the
fortunes of America ; the crisis will demand from
every department of government, from every mem
ber of fociery, a zealous and faithful eo speration.'
Let us, then, gentlemen, by laws judiciously
mcd, and pu"dually executed ; by private exam
ple, as well i.a by official vigilance ; discharge [
important trust confided t» us ; discountenancing, 1
at all times, aud by all means, the ungenerous aspe
rity of party spirit; and inculcating the principles
of benevolence and haimony. By the observance
of a policy thus enlightened, you will confirm the
virlue and happiness «f your conflitaents, and raise
a lading monument of your own wisdom and patri
otism You will perpetuate the individual prospe
rity of Pennsylvania, and enlarge the scale of her
influence, in maintaining the rights and dignity of
the union. In a career so glorious, I shall chear
fully, though diffidently, accompany you with all
the powers of my office, and all the faculties of my
mind—enjoying the bed of all rewards, if, at the
\-lofe of a long and.afGduous political life, I shall
prove to my fellow- itizens, that I have not been
undefceving of the generont partiality, with which
I have been uniformly honoured and fu-port«d.

j fumed the whole bloik of buildings from that Slip to
the F'y Ma-'ket, about 50 or 60 in number. The

r NEW THEATRE.
MACBETH.
The performance of this Play, last evening, contrary
[ *• expedition, drew a full house. Many of the charafl.
crs ill the play were weakly oast, and the piece was, of
courft, not given with that strength we had been accus
tomed to fee in it. Some amends were, however, made,
r by the fpleiidor of the new dreflcs and decoration*, and
the fine performance of Cooper.
Commenciug his Thcat ic> 1 carrer in America, as he had
j done in England, with the chara&cr of Macbeth, the ul
timate ifluc will probably be very different- If Mr. Coo
per's Macbeth hag been thought, v orthy of cenfuri* in
FngUr.d, we fh*ll, wi-h all del deference to the London
Leviathans i/i Critique, tuke the liberty of forming an opi
, n,on wholly oppoiit*. Whrther this is to be at ributed
. rf> a decency of judgnKnt-in the. wrtfer of- these remarks
or rhe performer's advances in improvem nt in the in
terval, 1 know r.ot: th? general applause of a numerous
i au :it sice, is at once a ftrikinsj reinforcement of the latter
opinion, and forms a decided teftimony , to his merit,
Mr. Cooper had, however, attained the highest refpeifl
ability, previous, to his departure from Fngland.
In America, if Mr. Cooper be thought by some to l ave
been iurpafTed by that excellent performer, Fennell, his
I Macbeth jk opinion, entitles him at least to an equal
rank. TJp * in point of figure he will not bear a com
parison vritti that performer, yet the chaflenel's of his ac
tion and hi c com# gcfticulation, effaced any ideas of a de
ficiency to that refpeifc.
Mr. Corper's voice is clear and sonorous ; and though
he did not perhaps come up to Fennell in energy of tone
3!>d cocntcnance, he certainly pofleffrs in an eminent de
gree, all the flamina of a firft rate a&or.
The principal fpeechcs were given with nice difcrimina
ti?n and accuracy of judgment, above all at his death.
It appears not to have been a favorite cmHoiii with the
Immortal Bard, to put lengthy fpeechefl into the mouths of
his dying heroes. Wherever these occar *hcy are to be
traced to tlie hinds of moderß reformers. Nature and
' »Sh-.kefpeare ! bothfufifer from their labours.
" Time was tha;. whsn the breath was out,
" The rvmi would die.''
To make a man deliver a labored fpcech a quarter of an
t hour in length, after he is 'huYt even to death' is a palpa
ble abfurtiirr.
I| is a pity the Drama in America cannot lhake off the
trammel* on it by European prejudices and faJfe
1 idea*.
However in our recoJVflioß mny be the excellence
of ?,Trs. Whitlock, in L»«.dy Macbeth, we arc ®f opinion
ihat the applause beftowedon Mrs. Morris, in the flceping
scene, was richly merited Her taste and judgment, in
regard to her atrire, demand the palm of pre eminence.
Upon the whole, though we cannot be of opinion that
the characters of this ph.) were, generally, well yet
justice require the tribute of applauieto Mr. Cooper, in
Mr'.cbcth, for the eminent fati*fu£lion afforded by h;s natu
ral performance of that arduous chara&er ; —to Mr. War*
ren ? in Banquo, for his chafteneGi and excellence and
to the Managers, for their liberal and expensive exertions in
brlngmg foi ward the tragedy in so elegant a flyle.
! Mr. Cooper n said to be a young gentleman of only 24:
His talents are uncommon fcr his years; and by having
judiciously marked out the line of nature for hispurfuit, he
bids fair to attain to the highell honors of his profeifion.
w -
Last evening, Mr. Cooper from CoM-nt Garden
Theatre, made his firft appearance in the chamber
of Macbeth. His figure is handsome and bit
countenance expfeflive and interelling—he played
1 wi.h finfc difen'mination and great effect. During
the 2 fitft aftshe fecmed Jefvctive in energy, which,
perhaps was owing to the embarrassment of hi 6 situ
ation ; but his fubfequect scenes could not fail to
' rmprefs the public with a favorable idea of his ta
-1 lentj. There wa» no violent ranting or pompous
; dccjatmtion j hut he copied nature, and nature in
is fme to please : we wish, however, to fee
, Klin in two or three more charafttrs before we form
j yhj decisive judgment on his merits.
"j The farce of the Prize, was played with infinite
| huraytt by Mr. Harwood, Mr. Francis, and Mrs.
Oldmixen—the latter sung her burlesque Italian air
with inimitable drollery.
We could wi(h the managers would obviate the
tedious delay that takes plat* between the aits ; it

occaConed by the treaty,.is abated ; and iren
naturally txpeft, that even the southern members

vulgar plea of the youth of our couatry, it is now
fttfTicidiitly mature to sorter the arts. It is hieh

upon the attention of Congress } a claim, which is
paramount ta both the French and the Bririfh in

works of public utiliry, and natiokal and dome/-
