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.

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.

The Hon. the Legislature of this state, now conven

day the 3d inft. We have detailed the most raateriaJ
parts of their proceedings.
The following resolution faffed the Striate of this State,
.4* the 4th infant.
Resolved, if the hon. the A/lembly concur there
in, that a joint committee of both houses fce v ap
pointed, to consider and repott, with all conveni
ent speed, what arrangements may be requisite to
render the monies which now are, and may from
time to time be paid into the treasury, preduftive
as income to the Kate : and further o devise and
report, whether any and what arrangements are ne
cessary for the better management and disposition
of the funds of the state. The afiembly concurred.
The committee arc MefTrs. Schyylet, Jones and
Caotii.c of the Senate, and Meflrs, Kent, Mason,
Ryersj Co.mftock and Blaachard of the afietnbly.
The proposition between Lord Malmfbury and the
Fier.ch Executive Directory amounts to but little im
portance, itniefs we admit that the comicfcenfion of
ta king more fully to each other in town, has, as the
Diretflory exprefsts it, somewhat of a mare amicable
appearance than the former overtures, made by Mr.
Wickhkm. i hat the King of Prsffia will.eventually,
hold a language in favor of the Stadtholdcr's reinftate
rflcnt we have no doubt of, and have formerly ventur
ed to predict.
A resolution is moved in the llotife of Reprefenta
lives, to enquire into title of the United State# to land
weft of the state of Pennfyhania. This business will
probably end with the firft motion ; but the prppofi
tion is a proof what a knack some men poflefs of mak
ing mifchief.—Suppofe another member ihould move
to appoint a committee to enquire into the title of -the
state of New-York, to lands weitof the Delaware.—
Some of our pert motion makers would have a talk on
hand to fatisfy enquiries on that point. Men who
love union and harmony will be flow to open the
wounds which are healed, or to intrude into the ju
diciary department to find sources of contention.
