Mr. G. said they had already received an estimate of the expen es Lr the year 1797, and although, tbcfe were fevcral items relative to foreign inter course, there was not a* single thing about an ap propriation for the Alg eri bulinefs. He thought therefore, tho' fnms might be wanted for effe&ing treaties with Tunis and Tripoli, the appiopriation would be wanted next year, and not this, ana there fore there would be money enough now for Algiers. The only question was, whether it was their duty to ask for the information contained in the refolu tiion ; he believed it was, especially when they were told thee had been great pecuniary losses, they certainly had a right te> know what they were. The propofuion, he said, did not ask for informa tion how the treaty had been completed, but how the money had been disposed of. This was infor mation they had aright to have, in order to form a judgment whether these losses might have been a voided or not ; and, an he belived they should not have the information except it was asked Tor, he should vote for the refolutian. Mr. Gilbeit did not doubt but they should get the information wanted in a few days, without en-j tering into a resolution on the fubjeft. They had been promised information on other fubjedts, and they'nn'„ht be confident it was all in far.vardnefs, and would be commnrucated as soon as pofii le. Mr. Livingfton said gentlemen feemcd to take it for granted that the President meant to communi cate to them information on the fubje&of ihc trea ty withithe Dey and Regency of Algiers. He did not find this in the Prcfident's address ; he found only a kind of exeufe that the treaty had not been carried into effeit. He did not fay he would communicate what was the immediate occalion of the delay. It was the duty of the house, he said, in a twofold point of view to call for this informa tion ; firft, that they might provide the necessary fund, and secondly ta know what had been the cause of the great delay. The appropriation for carrying the treaty into effedt had been long since made, and unless circumstances unavoidable, and urgency very cogent, had taken place, he would not help thinking there mud have been a fault in some department or other. It was not to be pte. fumed the delay was with the President ; but he believed it might be presumed there was a delin quency somewhere. It was not enough for them to be told that the delay arose from unavoidable circumlhuceo j it was their duty to look the business, and therefore he thought the present call a very proper one. Mr. Swc.iwirk said the gentleman from New- York (M~ Gilbett) seemed to think they might wai> a few days lor the information wanted- Mr. S. said they had already waited for it a month, and Bothi ; was yet brought forward. The feflion, he faiii, waslitjitted, and it was important that the bufi ess to which the resolution before them rela ted, should be speedily taken into consideration. It was very important as it refpefted commerce, which was never in a more critical situation than at present. It was high titpe, he said, to go into an enquiry on this fnhjeiS, in order to know the train in which the l»ifinefs was placed, and to what the delays had been Siting. He believed they had been owing to the derangetnents of money tranfa&ioiis in Europe ; but of this they ought to be it,formed, aAd if thete was any charge to be made againtt the house on the occasion, it was for having delayed the enquiry so long. Mr. Gilbert, said, the gentleman last up seemed to speak as if the house had nothing to do, and were waiting for business from the President. He said there were various objects of great importantce to the United States which called for their attenti on ; and as he had before said, a short time would probably bring the information without application; and as they did not know that it was unneceffanly retarded, there was no use in palling the present resolution. Mr. Sitgreavas said, gentlemen who supported this motion,fpoke as if the right of the House had beendifputed to make the enquiry. He had not heard this doubted. The only reason foroppofing it was, that it was lyineceffary, and less refpeAful than it would be to wait for the communication. The President had said that a farther appropriation .was necessary this feflion, and he thought this was a fufficient answer to his colleague (Mr. Gallatin) and not next feflion, and therefore, he presumed, he would take care, at a convenient season, that the neciffary information was laid betore them. He would"not call upon them to make appropriations without {hewing beth the neeeflity and the quan tum required. He had already said there could be no question about their light of calling for the in formation in question ; but he would not be un derload to presume with the gentleman from New- York (Mr. Livingfton) that was a delin quency famewhere ; if this were preinmed, it would be directly in oppefition to afferiion of the President, who bad told them the circumftaHces or delay, &c. had been inevitable. Upon whatptin ciple, tberefore, gentlemen should conceive there had teen a delinquency somewhere, he could not fee. He-was therefore pppofed to the resolution. The' qtfellion was taken and carried 44 to 3'" A committee ot two members was appointed to cany the revolution into cfied. £To be continued.] 1 A Printing-Office for Sale; Situate in the city of Burlington, on the river De law are, about 40 miles from Philadelphia.

COMMUNICATIONS. 1 he complainings and-forrows, the pathetic apo strophes of monsieur Adet'a note, and indead of all the eh we hare been blelt with, remind one of the tender exclamations of the hag-killer in the poem, to the pi;j that squeals and flares when the knife is at his throat. " why kick—why fqneal—be still! " W'ont you be kill'd and cured a little ?" It was early predicted that an energetic national government waß necessary in this country for the ptirpofe of checking the inroads of foreign influence through the individual state governments. It was forefeeß that if the states held their foveteignty in an independent capacity, it would be no very im probable thing that a foreign power should cor rupt demagogues fufficient in number and popularity to bend th? measures of their government to foreign machinations- That this mighty evil would pro bably h»»e happened either from corrupt motives, or from ignorance, a few events within the lall have clearly manifetted. Among the laieft we hear of is the inttance mentioned in a let ter (lately published in the Gazette of the United States) from South-Carolina. If it be true that Charles Pincknf.y, the governor of that Hate, declared (as is therein asserted) in his inauguration fpeecti, that the federal government had behaved moji infamovjly to the Freßch, and that he hoped that the brench wouldfoon bring us to a ferfe of our political errors, it is deeply to be lamented that the evil intended to be guarded againfl could ndt be \nU\c\y prevented as well as cured. That the mif chief arifmg from such a remark loses all its tting from the ignorance of him who was capable of making it, is a consolation it is true ; but it like wise proves how essential it is to have a government mnving on great, uniform, aud exalted national prin ciples, whose authority may palsy into-dei'erved impotence the Ji; tie tyrant who 'might wi/h to em broil his own country from luve of a foreign land ! A certain tyrant of antiquity had s singular punishment that at once evinced bis love of the fine art!, and his refined tajle Jor cruelty. He had a piece oftT)achasifm rxquifitely executed in the forth of a beautiful woman. Wlifn his friends offended, he ccinfigned them to the arms and embraces of this lovely automaton, which by the touch of cer tain springs clasped the beloved friend in her Jiily arms, and fque&ed him to death ! Mr. Adet and hii fraternal amateurs have attempted ta cul tivate a taste for this species of the fine arts— Tears—embraces—exquisite sensibility—the molt endearihg small talk—The lovely automaton for ever held up to view—aud nothing wanting to fct her arms in motion but a firm basis for her fret to reft on, that her embraces and squeezes may be felt by the lutly and tree sons of America.
