Was it not a little surprising, he said, I»fee the
members of that heufe, whose estates were mostly h;
in land, so desirous of avoiding a land-tax ? How ol
would this look to the people ? Would it not ap- bi

PHILADELPHIA,' February 16. t
James Rofs Esq. is chosen Senator of the Uni- 'J
ted States, by a majority cf 18.
In Senatt »f the United States,
February IJ, 1797- \
On request, the Vice Preftdent of the United «
States being excufcd from further attendance in Se
nate during the feffian, addressed them as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate,
If, in the general apprehension of an intention to ,
retire in that most eminent citizen, to whom all „
eyes had been directed and all hearts attracted, as a
the center of our union for so long a period ; the "
public opinion had exhibited any clear indications '
of another, ia whom our fellow citizens could have
generally united ; as soon as 1 read that excellent t,
address which announced the neceflity of delibera- J
tion in the choice of a President, I should hare imi- 1
tated the example of a chara£ter, with-which I had !''
co-operated, though in less conspicuous and im- c
portant stations, and maintained an uninterrupted z
friendfhip for two and twenty years. But as anum- t
ber of chara&ers appeared to stand in the general '
estimation, so nearly on i level, as to render it dif- L
ficult to on which the majority would 'j
fall; considering the relation in which I flood to 1 c
the people of America, 1 thought it most refpeift- i
ful ko them, and most conducive to the tranquility J
•f the public mind to resign mylelf with others, a j '
silent fpeftatorof the general deliberation and apis- ■
five fubjeft of public difeufiions.
Deeply penetrated with gratitude to my coun- ' I
trymen in general, for their long continued kind- ! '
ness to me, and for that fteadjf and affe£ling con- ; '
fidence, with which those who have moll intimately \
known me, from early life, have on so many great ' t
occasions, entrulled to me, the eare of their dear- >
eft interests ; since a majority of their ele&ois, tho'
a very small one, have declared in my favor, and
since, in a republican government, the majority
though ever so small rauft of neceflity decide, I
have determined at every hazard of a high but just
Tefpontibility, though with much anxiety and
diffidence, more to engage in their service.—
Their confidence which has been the chief consola
tion of my life, is too precious and fa-.-red a depo
litever to be considered lightly. As it has been
founded onlv on the t4ie heart, ir never
has hcep, it never can be, deceived, betrayed, or
forfeited by me.
It is with reluctance, and with all those emoti
ons of g'atitude and affeftiun, which a long expe
rienee i f your goodness ought to inspire that I now
retire from my feat in this House and take my
leave of the members of the Senate.
I ought not to declare, for the last time, your
adjournment, before 1 have prefented'to every Sena
tor prefeut, and to every ciuzen who has ever been
a Senator of the United my thanks, for
the candor and favor invariably received from them
all. It is a recolledtion, of which nothing can ever
deprive me, and it will ba a source of comfort to,,
v«r>e, through the remainder of my life, that, as on
the one hand, in a government cotrllituted like ours,
I have for eight years held the second situation un
der the constitution of the United States, in perfefl
and uninterrupted harmony with the fii ft, without
envy in one, or jealoufv in the other : fa un the
other hand I have never had the fmallelt mifunder
-1 Handing with any member of the Senate. In all
the aullrufe queftt'ons, difficult conjun&ures, dan
gerous emergencies, and animated debates upon the
great intcrefts of our country, which have so often
anii.fo deeply impressed all our minds, and interest
ed the strongest feelings of the heart, I
perienccd a uniform politeness and refpe& fro»i
every quarter of the house. When questions of
Ho leL importance than difficulty, have produced
H difference offentiment (and differences of opinion
will always be found in free affemoiies of men, and
probably the greatefl diversities upon the grcateft
questions) when the Senators have been e
qually divided, and my opinion has been demand
ed according to, the constitution, I have constantly
found, iw that moiety of the Senators, from whose
judgment I have been ohliged to uiffent a difpofi
tioa to allow me the fame freedom of deliberation
ano independence of judgment which they asserted
for themfelvei.'
Within thtfe walls, for a course of years, I have
been an admiring witness of a lucceflion of infor
mation, eloquence, patriotism and independence,
which, at they would have done honor t» any Se
nate in any age, afford a cbnfolatory (if the
Legislatures of the States are equally careful in
their future selections, which there is no reason to
diftrbfl) that no council morr permament than this
a« a branch us the Legislature will be necessary, to
defend the rights, liberties and properties of the
people, and to protedl the constitution of the Uni
ted States as well as the conffituticirs and rights of
the individual Rates, against errors of judgment, ir
regularities of the passions, or other encroachments
of human infirmity or more reprehensible enter
prize, in the executive on on* hand or the more im
mediate representatives of the people on the other.
Tbefe conliderations will all conspire to animate
me in my future courfj, with a confident teliance,
tuat as far as my conduct lhall be uniformly measur
ed by the Constitution of the United States and
faithfully diretled to the public good, I (hall be (up
ported by the Stnate as well as by the House of Re
prcittntiiinei and the people at large; and ea 00 uther
conditions any support at all to be expe&ed
or deliied.
With cardial wilhes for your honor, health and u»
happiness, and fervent .prayers for a continuation tic
of the virtue*, liberties, prosperity and peace of our ha
beloved country, I avail myfelf of your leave of *b- m
fence for the remainder of the fefiion.

LONDON, Decembfr io.
By the laii arrival from Paiis we are given to
unceriiand that the future progress of the
tion cannot be made so public as the previous flcps i
have been. It is said tfcat Lord Malmcfjury iirti- I
mated to M. de la Croix,
" That he had afluranee of being authoiiied to La
propose fp'ecific tcrfns of conceifion, but that his |
Britanic Majedy did not think that the ohjeil ot
the negotiation was Kkely to be prumoterf by the ha- I
bit of publifhingthe official communications on both
fides, thereby exciting the pafiions of the public on I
the tppicsin difcuflion before they were maturely
weighed. It was his desire, therefore, to suggest ..
the prudence of abstaining from this practice so new
i» this diplomacy, and to recommend that the fpe- I
cific terms ofconccffion «n both fides fliould be con- I
cealed until she proportions had undergone, at ieaft, I
a fair and uninfluenced difculfion." j ,
The answer of the Directory to the foregoing
fut>eeftion is liated to have been to tlfe following .
effea: , . lel
" That they bad chosen the concourse of public I
difcufiion, that all the world might be made par-
ties to the negociation, and judge between the two
governments ; but if was the desire and taftc of the
English court to prefer a close deliberation, they 1P c
could havrf no obje&ions."
It appears from the account by this chanral, that .
tranquility is. at length reflored to the counting that
were foase time since declared to be out of the
king's peace. The winter, in the filter kingdom, nt
has set in with very unulual rigor.
The whig club in Ireland, after a mature inquiry a 1
into the (late of the reprelentation of the people
in parliament, have refolvid, that'they are of opin- w
ion that, for the purpose of giving to the people V*
thcirj due and conditutional (hare in the legislature,
a reform in parliament is indifpenfibly necessary, and
that the emancipation of the Roman catholicks
should make a fundamental and essential part of the
fame ; and that they consider tbofe measurer as like
ly toeftablith public fatisfa&ion and tranquility, and
promote an union in support of king and countty. ta
Yelleiday advices were received at the admiralty, Q j
of the loss ot the Undaunted frigate, of 40 guns,
which foundered in a gale of wind on the Jamaica ej
Italian, but all her crew were fortunately saved. ej)
MONEY SENT TO THE EMPEROR.
The money fefit to the Emperor is ta be colleft
rd out of two diftiuA papers laid upon the table of 0
the houfeof commons, namely, out of the paper in- o]
titled " An account of the diltribuiion ot the sum z

ditiary services (thevote-of ciedit of' 96);" and a
also iu the account of the exttaordinarics of the }

mittance, from yrhich our readers will f-e whether Q

NEW-YORK, February Is. •
In the London Morning Herald, we find the
following article, cxsiaftcd from a French paper
called L'Ami deS Loix.
• I.eydcn, November 7.
' In the fitting of the Batavian National
ventic.i of the 3d, a letter was read friim citixen
Noel, miniiler of the French republic, by which»
on the part of the Executive Dire<ftory, he- makes
the following communication i
«' That as the negociation commenced with l»rd
Malmefbury at Paris, appeared to have a tendency ,
t» a general PEACE ; and, as the Direflory, ia
all the treaties hitherto concluded, had conllantly
had at heart, the interests of the Batavian republic, >
they invited the National Alfembly to name a per
son invested with the neceflaiy powers to condudt
the intertfts of the Batavian republic, in the pre
sent negociation." ,
« The letter adds, that in such circumstances,
the two republics ought to afiilt each other mutu
ally by councils as well as actions, and it was there"
fore wilhed that the perfoo appointed for this im
portant purpose might repair as speedily as poTUble
to Paris.
• It was dacreed that the coremifiion for foreign
affairs (hould arffwer this letter ; and at tbe fame
time make known to Mr. Noel, that the perfoni
nominated and authorised for this purpose, were
aitizens Leftevenon, Pa (leer and Meyeur, who ate
already at Paris.' ,
Upon the above it is obvious to remark, that
whatever may be thought of the sentiments cob«
tained in the official correspondence between lard
Malmefbury and Charles de la Croix, it is aaALtr
the opinion of tbe Dire&ory, that Peace will pro
bably cnlue from the present negociation.
