    wouid fay he had not ir.cde uj> jiis'inind an
the fubjeft, he-would withdraw his motion.
In relation to the principle of the biH. It
had obferved that lie had said yefterdiy
that if the iij,ood dollars were agreed to,
this bill hiuft also be agreed to. It was true
he had read the letter of the secretary of
war On the fvibjett, and predicted, that if
thai sum was agreed to, it would be brought
as an argument for agreeing to additional
artillery ; and the event shewed that he was
tight
With refpeft to our prsfent situation from
the-late tranfa&ions in Europe, he (hould
fay nothing. It was mere matter of opiuion
which operated differently on 'different minds
acceding to their habits of thinking, or
p«rhaps their prejudices.- Nothing could
astonish him in this refpjft, after what he hat!
heard ip that Hoirfe.
Granting, iiowever, the danger to Be
possible, whidn he did, he would'afk whether
the prefer.t measure was calculated to repel
the danger ? He believed not ; but on the
-contrary, that it was calculated to weaken
the union. The danger apprehended was
war ; but he did not believe "that those who
feared war, e:;petted an invasion ; and if not,
the present measure was not calculated to
meet-the danger. To defend the sea coast,
tlie inhabitants nuift man their forts, and up
on their own exertions their fafety must de-«
pend. He supposed, if war was made upon
• Its, it wqnld be in that part in which we
" were vulnerable, and not ia that in which we
were invulnerable. The attacks of anv so-
reign power would be upon our trade. The
United States were impregnable to the at
tack of any foreign nation ; they had ten or
fifteen years ago refilled, those of a more
powerful nation, with refpeft to naval force,
than the one about which we were now a-
lanned ; when-the population was much
less, and much left compact, and when the
government was very imperfeil. He there
fore looked upon any fear of an invasion as
grourtdlefs ; and if there were attacks upon
our commerce which were apprehended, a
nevf regiment of artillery could have no ef
• feft. The operation of such attacks would
fall upon our merchants and upon our reve
nue. Every additional expense, therefore,
not calculated to repel the danger, will di
minish our means for repelling it in the pro
per way, which would be by means of fri
gates, gallies, and vessels of every descrip
tion.
He believed, with the g?ntlenvMi from
Virginia, that this was not a war measure,
but merely an attempt to -increase the army
eftabliihment, which had always been a fa
vorite objeft with those gentlemen who seem
ed to flaisn an exclusive right of supporting
government ; and yet he knew of nothing
which weakened it more. He was not afraid
of troops impairing the liberty of the people
of the United States ; but he believed no
thing tended more to weaken the hands of
government-than the want of woney, and
nothing consumed To much of it as lair*
litary establishments. That the secretary at
war fliouW \vflh to l'ncreafethe establishment,
he did not much wonder at; it was natural
that he fhoujd do so ; but his opinion ought
not to guide them. -Mr. G. concluded by
faying, that if it were necessary to have this
additional number of men for the purpose of
having them trained in the artillery business,
he had no obje&ion, if the fame number was
lopped off the infantry.

Mr. Allen said he should avail himfelf
of the liberty the gentleman last up had of
fered ; for he owned he was not ready to
vote upon the question. He wifyed to have
some information from the War Depart
ment, which he would move for, if the mo
tion were withdrawn.
Mr. Gallatin withdrew his motion,
Mr. Allen propo r edthe following reso
lution, which was agreed to, after feme few
observations.
" Resolved that the Secretary ofthe War
Department be direfted to lay this
House an account of the number of artille
rists in adtual service, and of the posts aiid

Mr. Blount wished the House to go in
to a Committee of the whole on the state
of the Union, upon the resolution which he
laid upon the table some days ago, authori
sing the President to purchase a certain
quantity of arms.
Mr. W. Smith suggested the propriety
of referring the matter to a Seleft Commit
tee, as there might be matter connected
with the enquiry made, which might not be
proper to be made public ; an «n quiry ref
pefting the quantity of arms in pofleflion of
the United States, and where lodged, was
somewhat of a delicate nature. *lf it was
referred to a Select Committee, they could
determine apon the propriety of making the
fubjeft public.
It was agreed to be referred to a Com
mittee, and a Committee of Five was accor
dingly appointed.
Mr. Harerp laid two resolutions upon
the table to .the following effect:
" R'fohied, provision ought to be
make to authorize the Prefldent of thf> Uni
ted States to fix upon a proper place as a
fcite for a Naval Yard for the use of the
United States."
" Resolved, That provision ought to be
made sot enabling the President of the .U.
States to secure a proper quantity of live
oak for. the purposes of ship-building, with
the upon which the fame is growing."

committee of the whole on the bill relirifling
the regifterin'j of vefTets, in cases where fhey
hive been tfken and purchased into the U.S.
by others than the former owners. The com
mittee reported the bill without amendment,
and it was ordered to be engrossed for a third
reading. It-afterwards received its third read
ing and pal Ted.
On motion of Mr. Nicholas, the house
went i«to a committee of the whole on the bill
for appointing agents, under the direction of
ihe attorney general, for aflifting to carry into
efledl the 6th article of-the British treaty, -with
re<pe<s to the Biitifli oebts. A good'deal of
convet&tion took place a* to the nature -of these
agents, the mannei in which they should a<£),
and what would be a proper compensation for
them At length it was agreed that the blank
for a sum to enable the Prefidentto appsint such
agents as he (hould fee necessary, ftiould be fill

the principal agent to reside at Philadelphia,
2oeo dollars ; and an additional salary to the

Tile Curate of Saint Jacques officiated lafl
Thursday in his parish with all that decency
and calmness which the good ministers of
the Catholic religion know how to maintain
wherever they are heard. At the hour
when the Dominc fal-vum sac Re gem (God
preserve the King) is sung, one of the crowd
thundered out this verse with alltheftrength
of lungs he was master of. The people re
mained silent and amazed. The Curate
immediately ordered the Church doors to be
{hut, sent for a commifiary and afllftants, as
cended the pulpit, preached union, peace,
and above all obedience to the laws ; decla
red that the person who sung Dominc falvum
sac Regem mull be an enemy to the public
good and mentioned themeafufes he had ta
ken to be certain of it. He was heard peace
ably. The commilfary arrived with an arm

person ; he was as length discovered.

having refufed to vote on the second, it was
Jooided in the negative by 53 against one.—
The deterrrunaiicii. on tj le third was that
the result shall be taken by "polls.
The afiembly has also decided the ques

The Auftrians have been defeated on the
Piate, and the Chronicle " fvvears that
to the best of its knowledge and belief" the
Archduke Charles is routed. When French
Editors are thus ppfitive, a little scepticism
maybe allowed it: the condu&or of A
mer'can. paper Buonaparte, threatening
the Venetians with hostility, has been ap
peased by a million of Zechins. Both in his
anger and clemency he resembles antient
Pistol in the scene witli his Frenchprifoner,

will take." Jn these scarce times money
quells French paflions better than a page

INCIDENTS AT HOME
The Senate of the United {States }, ave
presented an answer to the Speech of the
Prnfident. It is exprefiive of natiortah'ty,
and of high confidence in the talents and vir
tue of our firlt officer. The house have re
ported an answer ; which, in the usual way
has originated much debate. Mr. Nicholas
has made a luke-warm proposition, calcula
ted by smooth words to filter away the eu
ergy, with which the Representatives have
exprefTedthemfelves.ontliefubjeft of France.
Mr, Smith, from So'jth Carolina', with his
usual acutenefs, and spirit of federalifm, and
Meflrs. Otis and Rutledge, with clafiical e
loquence, advocated the reported reply.—
The abilities of Meflrs. Harper and Grif
wold were likewise displayed on the fame
and right fide. The reported answer is m
theclofe stile of Tacitus, and in in more
than one particular, Roman. Its tone is
high, and indignation is with the ftrifteft pro
priety, the word employed to express the
feelings of our political guardians, on the
fubjeft of French aggression. It is said,
that Tom Paine, the modern Jack Cade,
wrote, before he left Pari*3, another little
book again! the French coßftitution as not
fufficiently democratic.
A gentleman, reading in one of the daily
prints that thirteen hundred of the French
had been drowned, said, " Thus (houM the
courage of all our enemies be damped.'"

The following authentic information is re

pondant at St. Mary's.
Tgiun of St. Mary's, in Georgia,
May, 17-97.
Yesterday, returned to' nis place, James
Seagrove, Esq. commifiioner from thfi Uni
ted States of America, to the government of
Florida; and Thomas King, Esq. agentfrom
the state of Georgia. These gentlemen have
been at St. Augustine, for a month past,
during which time an agreement took place
for an exchange of all fugitive Haves from the
United States, or his Catholic majesty's pro
vince of East Florida, from the 2d Septem
ber, 1790, until the 19th instant. All fu
gitives, prior to the 2d of September, 1790,
remain to be fettled by the king of Spain
| and the United States.
It is with pleasure we inform, from un
doubted authority, that Mr. Seagrove has
entered fnto a treaty wk?i tiie SpSnifh go
vernment, whereby a total ftcja is put fci* aIL
fugitive slaves, or servants, being people of
colour, ftom' receiving countenance or pro
tection'in Florida. Should any fucli people,
go there, on being diil'overed, they, will be
thrown into priion,.until demanded "by their
owners, when they will be delivered upV
This Treaty, we are informed, extends to
Horses, Cattle, and all other property, that
Inay llray or be stolen, and be taken intci
Florida, are to be returned without delay or

cally bound to t'l ■ Spanish Government, so

peared a great def're in the government and
