The next tax -1, wlili k 1 have to proj>of« in addition to thi<, it OIK wjtich fall equally light on all deCcrip . tiors of peopie ; it has been Hated to me that the ."iithcr.rlcited topxesof deeds which are kept ihdifferent offit'tj never have any (lamp upon -tlie-n, and that it is only the orirfiral deed which ii stamped ; 1 shall therefore propole that there lliotild be 00 copy of this kind without a ft amp equal to that of the original ; and the duties producedby this regulation would amcunt to the sum of 40,0001, The fourth aititle which I mean to propose as a fubjeft of taxation, relates to the Prebates of Wills, all of which, except those for sums under 3001. I shall move to pay a certain duty, which may produce the fund of 40,0001. — 'I he next lubjeA I have to offer to the com mittee, is One which will produce a great deal of difcufiion 6ut of this house. It re lates to a certain species of property well known in this country ; but it will be the v-liicle (and that not a verbal one) of con veying to the different parts of the country, what I am now Hating. When Iconfiderthe great pre valenee of this vehicle ofgeneral intel ligence ; when I consider the amazing extent to which it has been carried ; that the lux ury of it has been so very generally felt and ■ pra&iicd ; that the taste of the Public is not 'likely to be shaken, by any trifling encrcafe 111 the price of an article fought after with such universal avidity ; when I consider al so the immense profits produced by these ar ticles of luxtiry, which are of a nature fhat Ought not to exempt them from their share of general taxation, I conceive that the lay ing on an additional duty on . ne-wfpapers. it a meafpre that cannot be in any manner objec tionable. This might be donewithout any in juryeitherto theeditorsorthe authors of such i publications. Theprefentduty is 2d on each paper ; in addition to which I should pro- 1 pose a further tax of one penny halfpenny ; ; and even in that cafe, considerable gains will be produced to the proprietors of pa pers. I should conceive that the price to customers ought not to be raised any higher than this additional duty ; because on a for mer occasion, in confequen.ee of an encreaf edduty otr. paper, the price of newspapers were raised far beyond that proportion, and has continued so ever since' < therefore I do not imagine the proprietors of them can now hive any equitable claim to an encreafe in their price. The sum produced by this duty oil! amount to H4,0c01. The next ; thinj; I have to propose, is a modification of the duties on advertisements publifhpd in news papers, According to the regulations that ; exist at prpfent, there is no difference in the duty upon an advertisement of three lines and that on one <jf the greatell extent. I i should propose to vary the present mode, and according to the regulations whieh I shall offer, there may be advertisements the duty on which shall amount only to some fhillingsj while on others the duty shall rife up to some pounds flerling. The eitimated produce from this source will amount to ao,oool. The next duty I have to propose ii to arise from a regulation of the fiamps on attornies certificate/, by which certain frauds that have hitherto been praftifed may be prevented. This will produce the sum of 15,0c01. There is one more article of lux ury which I shall propose to lay a tax on ; that is, all plate that Jhall be manufactured forth.' purpnfe of ornamental.use, which will produce the sum of 30,0e01.-' All those taxes which I -have just now enumerated, seem to rae-to press as lightly on the gene raftjulk of the people as any I could think of; and leaf! of all to increase the nationul difficulties. There still remains one more to be added. I have endeavored to find one, which, although I corifcfs it is not free from some speculative and practical objec ' tionj, \yill not however be found inconve nient to the public at large. It is'a fubjeft which ha« often been thought of before Hii« time ; which has been once before this hptifc but Was withdrawn. This is a tax on carriages of all forts, and tan gOods of all kipcts coiv«ye4 by carriages w"hich pass through tiirnpUe-gater, whefe the la"X"i« to . operate by air mcteafe of the tolls. To illic it-will be right to tViake some eximp «<r tifkM i fuilf as exemption? on all new tolls • : Vny they shall have rifcn to a certain amount ' A-:tferie'jal;«<rcptions provided- for by gene -\4law£Tr-an<j localesception»in certain di , _ . The lm>e-cxceptio?s that now pre vail in tolls alfo tO prevail on tjie part ! »of the pUfilic ; and I should propose that n- theftnx- dutj maybe taken for the publics, ttSt is how paid for tolls. I .cannot exactly fay how much thii vri'j prodtuie; but T know tjiat w'vKti it was brought forward hereabout 15 years-ago, it was CltimateU ; it fio W« afum than between 4 and jco,'oco - pounds. With r«fpeft to the piinciple of ' this tax, it may be to <jii the ground of its being a-great hardiuip-bo tay a bur tlten on pajjengers and -U>e conveyance of good.); but I hope ■when gen tit men \rill confidrr how final! a portion mull fall to well individual, that they will not look upon this is a grievance, But rather as a I,'anAer of listen ing thej?cncf4 burthens. f J have now listed every thing whieh I con ceived material in-aa conciiie a manner Is I could ; and t return my thanks to thrcorc mittee fjt tl.e indulgence they have ftiewn | ;nc_during the length of time I have trcf- ] pafied on their attention. I -have no other j exenfe to make- than that I am pleading.j the ncccffity of dwelling oil a subject whi.-h T did not wish.to brii)g'forward.immediately. • —And I n»w submit this pleasing oJrcutn llance to the confidcration- of the House, that in the midst of difficulties-, - and appa rently surrounded by calamities, we have fliL been able to find such ample rtfources, as those which have been stated to them this day. I call upon thefn to reflect, that at the moment when we are struggling with a great cocteft—while we are laboring under prefTures as heavy as they are unexampled; we still fee the itrength and powers which we poflefs ; and that if we are not to be a larmed at imaginary evils ; if we are not to be dispirited by events which are not so ca lamitous in themselves as they have been conceived to be ; we shall find the radical wealth and the ample means of this country fully fufficient to support us in every con juncture of c>ur affairs, and ultimately to restore us to that situation from which we have been removed for a time, by circum stances as extraordinary as they have been unavoidable.'

Upton, of which fix are in the month of April, we have found few articles, but have noticed the following. In January, the RuJJia fleet in the black Sea wets reported at PeterJburgh to conjjl of 20 Ihips of the Line, built of Oak, and us good conJlruSion for fa ft failing, 10 of 50 guns and others were building, among which was one of go guns. There were 17 frigates. The smaller vessels with flat bottoms were 126, fuf ficient to tranfpart 30,000 men, drawing only three feet water. • Tbe news from Basle was, that the neutral ity of that place'had brought company from all countries, and that the Swiss Cantons had re called all their troops from the frontiers, and sent rhem home, confident that they should have no further occajion for them. CHARLESTON, June 2. * COMMUNICATION. The Spanijh general sometime since said to have been in Georgia, is gone to St. Augujline. His errand was to fee gen.

SAVANNAH, June 6. MeJfrs. Powers & Seymour, I will thank you to insert the fuljoined in your ufeful paper, and oblige A SUBSCRIBER. On Thursday tafl arrived at Cockfpur, a Virginia built brig, formerly called the Matil da, at present under Spanijh colours, mounting 16 guns 4 and 6 pounders, with 102 men ; lajl from St. Thomas', commanded by Tho mas IVhippo, whose general character is well known in the middle andfouthern Jlates as well as feme parts of Europe. 'Unfortunately for our national character, he once claimed the right of a citizen of New-York by birth. Capt. IVhippo arrived dt this port late in the month of December lafl, iif the fbip Com merce of New-Tori, from 'Baltimore ; here he made a kind of sale of the ship, to Capt. John Green of Alexandria, who loaded her for the. Wtfl-Indies. To avoid the fraternul embrace of the fheriffi, or some of his deputies, and to dfappo'int his creditors, Capt. IVhippo's friends gave out that he had embarked iu the barque Albany, for Europe, and from that time he. became invisible to the public. When the Commerce was ready for failing, he left \ this city by moon light, and proceeded in her to St. Croix, where Jhe was again fold, this virtuous American proceeded to St. Tho mas', and purchafecl the brig above mentioned, and has come hither with the laudable intention of capturing American property. CONGRESS. - HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES, Turf lay, Joins 10.

Mr. W. Smith, from the committee of ways and means, reported a bill laying a «iuty 011 licen ces foi the fate of wines by retail, and also foreign diflilled spirits, which twice toad, and commit ted to a committee of the whole on Thursday. The house then resolved itfelf into a committee of the whole on the bill tor railing an additional torps of artillery ; when Mr. 8. Smith took, a pretty eitenfivc view of the fubjeet, aid noticing the men reported to be Ra tioned at different places, infifttd upon there being a fulticient number at every one, except at Wil ®mingt<ii», N. Carolina. Hewilhcd the deficiency in the prelcnt ri-£imrnt to be filled up, and then there might be a supply sent to Rhode-Island, and any other place where they might be required. Mr. Giles moved to ftiiae out the firftfedtion of the bill. He thought the 300,000 dollars pro poled to be expended on this objeft might be bet ter of in another way. Mr. W. .Smith hoped the present motion would tiot prevail, as it was intended to destroy the bill, fie thought tbe Prciident and Secretary of War having recommended the measure, and one branch of the legillature having pafled s law upon the fubjed, thty ought nut to defeat the b:.finefe in this way. He was fwjirifcdthc gentleman from Ma ryland fr.cuM have been so decidedly opposed to it, since thi other day he feeined undetermined on the fubjeift. Hrhadtafcen a view of tlic different polls, and declared them all well garrisoned, but he had taken no notice of places where thtre was hot a single mail. Mr. S. said it Ihould be reinem bered that in the men calculated to be at each place, were included non-conmidioned officers and rfin fid; dripped of these, htfmade the whole number •jybmen. The polls at which no nien were Ha tion:<l'K!*e, he said, Portland in Maine, Ports m->utli, N. H Gl«Ueefter, Salem, Newport, R.I New Lo"do*i, and Po nt Petre at Savaniuh. The report ol the Secretary ol War, Mr S no ticed, had repr fttited these placet as to de cay for want-os eing keut in repair. He noticed leir.e abjefiioh-, I'rgeci ajjainft th srn:afure on a for mer day. He denied that this could !>c called the fcleton of a ri::ini nt; it was nearly complete, as nejr as it (ffuld well he. None of the artillery on the frontier eculd be fafely drawn away. Our fi lu-itiou ih're was critical; and tu take any men away, whilst the Spaniards were lscieafing their force, would operate to our disadvantage in the .minds of ihe Indians. Mr. S. denied that,the ex pence would be so £reat as had been said. Our Ti tration, he faid,'was neither pence nor war, but a fort of intermediate lUte, which wa« far from hieing fafe, and wh ch required tiiem to prepare tor war. If gentlemen had not been of this-opinion, why incretfe our naval armamuit ? He thought they com radioed themlolves. He charged ths gentleman from Maryland with having fcr/ot the raprcf ntation he bad given on a fornier occalion with refpeft to the fttuation ef the fortifications at Baltimore, which he then said was not fufficient to keep off the ctius. (Mti S. Smith said iie ip '-ke only of the want of a fence). This measure had been charged with being an increase of o»ir peaca ! eftablilhnv rft and that die bill being for five years countenanced this idea He denied that this was the cafe, and if the period were thought too ionjj, it might be Ihortened. Gentlemen had also said, that advaatage wts taken of the impuife of ths moment to pais this bill. But by what, he siked, had this unpulfe been occafioaed, but from an id a of the danger of a war? And he thought the fears of the nation ought to be calmed, by taking such measures as the present. When an increase of the navy was under con federation, Mr. S. said, g#ntlemen exclaimed, leave trade to tal:e careol itfelf, and let us attei.d to the internal defence of the country; but now, when they were preparing fir that, the faille men fay we are about te employ upon this obje& what ought tu be employed for theproteiSion of commerce Mr. S. laid it was an error to fay no tares would be wanted, if this bill did not paTs. There would be money i i that cafe wanting' for manning the fii gates, for arming the revenue cutters, for the di plomatic department, and for the expellees of this feflion (not ltfs than 60 or 70,000 dollars) would he needed for the lafl item only for the pay siant of the agents appointed for afjfting to car ry into cffeift the 6th article of the Britilh treaty, &c So that that that argument had no weight. It was said these men were unneceflary, because the militia were the proper defence; but-the Prefi icnt had not the power to call out the militia, except in cases of infurre&ion or invaGon, so that an enemy might get poffefiion of the polls before the militia 'were called out. Mr. S. concluded by faying there were about. 33 forts on the sea coast, and that these men ditlributed among them would only give 14 to each, which would r.ot be fufficient to preserve the guns from rufl ; and, if this bill palled, there would only be 41 for each fort. He submitted it to the commit tee, therefore, whether they ought to rilk the fafcty of the country for the fake of 316,000, dollars. He trulled they would not. Mr. Shepard opposed the motien. He thought it necelTary men fliould be sent to thofc forts where there were none,t» prevent them from go ing to ruin. Inflead of the number proposed to be raised, he tho't two companies wou'd be fuffi cient. He did not think the country in a fafc state, »nd wi(h«d to make it in some degree more so. Mr. Baldwin observed, that since the adoption of the federal government, the his tory of the military eftablilhment had, in his judgment, been the molt expensive and un fortunate part of its hiltory. It had com monly been so of all nations. He thought there was every inducement, from the ex perience of ourselves and others, to make as sparing a use of it as possible. The reasons hitherto afligned for a military eftablilhment, in this country, have been a supposed un friendly difpoiition in foreign nations, and of the vast Indian tribes who bordered on our frontiers. These had been for fcveral years the cause of great anxiety and expenee ; they i were all now happily removed by treaties of peace lately established. It was his opinion, that on that event there was little or no cause left for any military establishment at all. He had been one of a committee last year who recommended a reduftion of them, particu larly a total reduction of the cavalry : this recommendation did not fully prevail, but his opinion was still the fame. The reasons now urged for regular troops mult be con sidered principally of' a permanent .nature# and for a peace establishment; the enlistment now proposed is for five years—he hoped it would not prevail; he hoped the establish ment would not be carried to any greater extent at this time. More money and mere troops was apt to be an increasing paflion, •always attending large delegations of power; colleft money to raise armies, and raise ar mies to collect money, has been a wheel of fortune to theffi, and a wheel of rack to their fubjetts. He 'hoped this country would form an exception, and fliew that some of the miseries of the world were not the in separable condition of man. It was the profefled objeft and principle of our revo lution } none of its friends can advocate a .standing army. The fpecinl reasons urged of their being necelTary to keep peace with the Indian nations on the frontiers, or for the forts on "the sea coast, he thought had not great force ; the numbeV or extent of the forts is not to be encreafed ; in a finilh ed State they would require fewer troops to man them. There had always been a fron tier, and large nations of Indians bordering upon it ever lince the firft settlement of the country ; there is therefore nothing new in our situation in that respect, to urge it more than formerly ; Aat there (hould be £ome confufion and disorder from that cause, had always appeared unavoidable, but regular troops had not been found by experience to be the most ready or molt ufeful relief. He believed things mull go on pretty much as they had, and that eftablilhing the civil go vernment was all that could be done in the cafe. He thought the fifty companies now in service would be fufficient for all purpo ses, and that the new regiment now propo sed woidd not be necessary. Mr. Williams thought the report which they had received from the war-office . did not go far enough. Eef.des the artillery, we had four battalions of infantry, which mujl be some where in garrison. He thought the present number of artillery was fufficient, being the fame at in 1J94, efftciaHy since artilirry nei tier ereUed forts nor kept them in repair, •wifhedthe 122 deficient jgicn to Le raised, and fentto Georgia, and places crfl of blew-Tori, Indeed, it would appear extraordinary, if, after voting IJ 0,0 00 (hilars for fortifications» tb.y Jlould vjti'j at leaf! 250,000 for men to, tdhe care of them, tic did hot think it •would le prudent at phef nt to go into the meafurei fine? be did nit believe any danger tvas noiu to be apprehended, arid as they did not knoiu •where the money -was to-come from. £te did not wish to go on increq/ing the utebe, and hi few I'ttle chance of raising frejh. revenue.— iVe had at present, he said, a greater propor tion of artillery, than ahy ocher nat'tbn ; hav ing 16 compauiet (f artillery to Si of infant ry.
