On the return of their fellow citizen, THO MAS PINCKNEY, from his Embassy to Great- Britain, tbe inhabitants afTembled along the wharves to fiail him wel ome. Fort Johnfton compliment ed the (hip with a Fedeial Salute ; aad as (he pas sed the new street continued along the bay, where the old artillery was drawn up, the compliment was Tepeated. The (hips at the wharves were throng. «d, from which frequeut huzzas were reiterated. Mr. Pinckney was landed with his family at Blake's wharf. The carriages waiting for them were nofooner noticed than (he jmpulfe of the mo ment, suggested an honor as novel, as it could not fail to be gratifying. The horses were taken off, and the carriage for his reception wade ready to be drawn by the throng, when it appeared that Mr. Jinckney, taking advantage of the delay, ocrafi ened thereby, had walked on. The cariiage how ever followed him with celerfty, and he soon <was prefTed to eriter it amidftthe applaufcs and gratnla tloßi of thousands. When he alighted at his house a little east of Pinckney street, he returned his thanks to his fel» low-citizens, for this testimony of their regard and approbation of hie conduct while abroad in the fer *ice of his country, in terms thai* once (trough evinced his great lenfibility, and his gratitude for such an unexampled le. eption. . He then ran into the arms of his beloved filler; and the clamour of his admirers giadnally died away into murmuring wi(hes, that he might again enjoy domefiic peace and happiness.

We tl» not believe it. Spain is on friendly terms with the United States. The truth doubtless is, that the French do much as they please in Spaiaifti ports in the Weft-lnaies, as they do ;n Italy. They take and condemn American vefleis. It will be recollected that the treaty be tween France and Spain, jho offenfive and defen five, is foonly in regard to certain powers—it does not require Spain to wage wai with every power at war with France. It does not require Spain to be at war with the United States, even though France fhou'id engage in hostilities with us. This, as far as our recolle&ion extends, is the fatt in regard to that treaty ; and it precludes all doijbt 011 the fubjeft of a war with Spain. Fifty-eight fail of American vefleis arc seized and carried into Gonaives by French crnilers We nn derftand the Bntifh (hips at Port au-Prince protest the Araeiican trade, and often convoy American vefleis out of the reach of the French cruisers. The last fentenceof the Prelidents meflage to the haufe of representatives, accompanying the do cuments relative to P'rench affairs; is remarkable and deserves notice. After aflignirig his motives for fending Mr Pinckney, mimfter to Fra'nce, he*fays, " a government which required only a knowledge of the truth to juftify its raeafure3, could not but be anxious to have this, fully and frankly displayed." That cautious officer, the President, would not have let such an exprellion fill from his pen; with out fatisfaftory evidence, that some persons, hollile to our government, have been attempting to mislead the French Directory. The merchants in Philadelphia have petitioned the lej;iflature for a law 10 nnake notes of hand ne gotiable. All the banks have also sent in petitions foi the fame purpefe. Mr. Lcib moved 111 the legifla'.ure to introduce a claufe'into the bill for making notes negotiable, prohibiting the taking more than one half percent, a month for difceunting notes. Referred to a com mittee of five. It is aftonifliing, at this period of the wo ld, that such prohibitions can have advocates. The way, and weafTert; the only way to prevent the mouftrous premiums now paid for money, and which draw all the spare money of the •country trum regular bufiriefs into fjolijh prsjeits, is to refill all such prohibitions. A limit all re paints on the nfe of moltey, and the common rate of interest will not remain eighteen months above 5 per cent What did a!> America fay of the sol- Iv o i regulating prices during the war ? Fnrtunare iy the laws were soon violated, or we {hould alt* have perilhed with cold and hunger France had recourse to the fame (illy projeift in tbeirlaw of the maximum and that far enforcing the circulation of affignatj. The consequence of these laws wat, u nivcrfal want and dijlrefs. France was upon the verge of a famine. Th? cause wa» difcevered— the regulating lawi repealed, and France was abun dantly supplied. The laws againlt usury in this country, are the principal cause of high interefi. They create the very evil intended to be remedied. When powder was scarce, during our war, the flatei did nor fix the price—they bid a bounty. Im mediaiely mills were built, and vefTels loaded wilh powder, entered our ports. Powdei was as cheap as ever. In regard to money, people, who want it, bid the bounty. Legiftatutet have nothing to do, but te let it alone. We understand the sales of land, by the United States, have produced about 60,000 dollars. » 1 College-Hall.
