Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, his Excelletfcy the Governor met both houses of the # Le gislature in the Chamber of the Senate, and addressed them as follows : Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. THE objeft for which the present session was appointed, being confined, I believe, to the completion of such bufinefd*as was de pending at the period of your adjournment, it will be proper to avoid pressing upon your attention any fubjeft that does not require an immediate irtterpofition of the legislative authority. I enjoy indeed, a sincere fatis fattion in beirtg able, on this occasion, to repeat, that experience has disclosed but few important defeats in the general inftitu tit>ns of our municipal policy ) while even those subordinate regulations which are ne cefTary to accommodate the progress of po pulation and settlement in a young country, have, in a great degree, been anticipated by the wisdom and liberality of your prede cefibrs. It is another interesting source of pleasure and congratulation, that, notwith standing every rccent 'symptom ofdifiatisfac tion and hoftih'ty, thp conciliatory conduft which the Federal government haspurfued, promises effectually to restore the harmony of our foreign relation®, anito preserve the peace and prosperity of the Union. In order, however, gentlemen, to pro vide against a difappolntment in this hope, Congress have directed, among other cau tionary m-afures, that a corps of 80,000 wi litia shall be organiaed, of which 10,696 men are to be furnifhed by Pennsylvania. The necessary inftru<ftions have been iflued for complying with the requisition j but per mit me to observe, that the imperfeftions of our militia law, ( which' have often been the fubje£t qf femark in my communications to the Legifiature) forbid the expectation of certainty or expedition, in embodying a competent force, upon the present or upon *ny future emergency. 'ln carrying the aft for procuring a supply of arms into ef feft, time has been allowed for transmitting proposals from the moA distant part of the Union ; and the delay has enablfd me to obtain the aid of the Prffident for facilita ting an exportation from Europe ; to ascer tain under a late law of Congress, an exemp tion fromdutyon the importation into Penn sylvania ; aad, in consequence of the sud den profpeft of a general peace, to insist u p6n more advantageous terms, than Could have been contemplated in an earlier pur eliafe. The contrasts. will nevertheless, I trust, be formed, so as to infu're the delive ry of 10,000 ftaad of arms in the course of the ensuing spring : But ftrlf, it is obvious, that the eftablifhmeut of au can be of little importance, unless the regulations for mustering a retraining the militfa shall also be efficient; and therefore, you will excuse tberenewed exprefiion of my solicitude, that a reform, may be speedily introduced, on points so essential to the national honor and defence. As the state of the unfortunate controver sy at Wioming has not been /natfrialty changed during the recess, T prefurae this fubfett will, likewise, be revived in the de liberations of the present session. The hope was entertained, that a judicial deter mination in the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States would, before now, have obvia ted evtry ground of litigation, even upon the question of private property ; but as the ifi"ue„of the fuftsinvolving that question, can have no direst influence upon the obligation of the government to assert its right of juris diction, I again submit to your considerati on, the expediency of adopting, in that refpefit, a prompt and decisive course of proceeding, whether it shall Wad to an equi table'commutation of either of the contend ing claims, or to a coercive establishment of the public authority. The additional do cuments that I have directed to be present ed to you, evince the continuance of that spirit of'refiftance-to our laws, which any appearances of fupineqefs 01; of irresolution, on the part of the state, would, I apprehend, fatally extend and embolden. From -the many other fubjefts which your records will exhibit, allow me, Gentlemen to feleft, as deserving of peculiar attention, the institution, of public schools, and thf sys tem for regulating bankruptcy: the former is recommended with all the force of a cqnfti tutienal injun&ion, and the. latter, by those ccinfiderations of policy and humanity which will naturally occur, at this cfifis, to every mind of feeling and reflection. Some further provisions might likewise be advantageously made, refpefting the interior management of the prilons'for debtors; particularly in the articles of lodging and fubfiftance; and, It is thought,- that the authority of a law is ■wanting, for a removal from the debtoi's apartment to the criminal jail, when a per son in custody, upon civil prqeefs, (hall af terwards be convifted of a crime The reprefentatipns which have been made bv the officers of the Land Office, point out the necessity of an early appropriation fjr paying the arrearages due for past Servi ces, and for compensating, in future, a competent number of clerks to perforin the dnties of that depa+tment. The allowance kas hitherto been so infuffieieut, that the Records, for a series of years, have been, unavoidably, left imperfect, and even the ♦xpence of trpife&ing the indifpenCaU^Cur vent liuftnefs, has been partially defrayed, as I am informed, out of the- private funds of the officers. Y«u will likewise be pleased Gentlemen, to prescribe the mpde for dis tributing 546 copies of the neweditionof the Afts of Congress, which the Secretary of State has transmitted to me, for the benefit of the Common werffth; and Tome use should immediately be defignat'ed, sos the'hoilfe or riginally intended to accommodate the Pre sident of the United States, as, in its pre sent unoccupied situation, it is greatly ex posed to dilapidation and injury. It is proper to t;ike thts opportunity of Hating, that the eoutroverfy relative, to the prize (loop Active, which was captured from the British in the year 1780, has been revived in a suit brought by certain claimants against tha then marshal of Pennsylvania, who paid the proceeds of the priz.e into the court of admiralty, under *ll order of the judge, and with the fanftion of the legisla tive and executive authority of the common wealth, as appears from'the records of that \ period. It being incumbent on the (late, under these circumdances, to indemnify the marshal, I have directed the suit to b; de fended on account of the public, and the do cuments will be laid before you, that fu£h further steps may taken upon the occasion as your wisdom and justice shall devise and ap ' prove. The appearance of a malignant and con tagious fever in Penu-ftreet anA,its Vicinity, as the time of your induced me, gentlemen, to convene such of the members as could conveniently att#nd, 1 that they might be apprised from the belt | fourcea of information of the fafts relating to the fubjeft : but a variety of reasons oc cuvied to render it improper on the part of the executive alone to pursue any (tep, that might prevent your meeting at all, or ( even change the ordinary feat of the legifiature, without the previous authority of a law.' fl aivxioufly hope, however, that the jirecau tions which have been takeuj and the fa vorable temperature of the seas n, will ena ble us fpetdily to remove every of ap prehension : And that you may, from time to time, pofTefs authentic accounts upon the fubjeft, I (hall direst the reports of the health-office, and the communications of the college of phyficiane, to be regularly la,id before ,y«u. But, under the irtipreffions made by the calamity which threaten*, you will naturally be disposed, gentlemen, to invigorate,, by efery poflible means, the police, for restoring and preferring the health of the city and its fnburbs. The existing law hat empowered the infpeftors to prohibit an indiscriminate intercourse with the infefted quarter, to re move the (R, and to provide for their ac commodation : and you will, doubtless, con cur in thinking, that the emergency jultifies me in having made arrangements for estab lishing camps on the neighboring compions, as an asylum for such of the citizens as may wish to fly from the immediate sphere of con tagion. For the outlines of a permanent plan, however, permit me to refer to there port, with which I have been favored by the college of phyefiians ; a plan which will, I am confident, be digested and matured by your wisdom, upon liberal and enlightened principles, adapted to an objedt so deeply affecting the tranquility, opulence and prof kperity of our metropolis. • Gentlemen of the House of Reprefcntatives, By the report from the department of ac count!, of which copies will bt presented to the legifiature, it appears, that to a balance of 94,718 dollars Cents, which was in the treasury on the I ft day of January last, there has been since added a sum of 178,205 dollars and 51 cents, the accumulative re sult of various sources of our revenue. Du ring the fame period, the dilburfements for 1 the public service, including the enpenfe of the late session of the general a(Tembly,-an J the grant for the relief of our fellow-citiiens in Savannah, have amounted to the fnm of 176,439 dollars and 1 cent ; so that there remained a specie balance of 96,485 dollars and 35 cents in the treasury, on the firft day of the present month. It should be recol lcfted, however, that this sum,. and the growing revenues of the state, are fubje£ted to very appropriations, independent of the current charg.es for the support of government; and I trust that the next general aflembly ( should your other avocations pre vent an immediate investigation) willjndge to review the fta,t» of our finances, and to take the necefiary precautions for preventing the public expenditure exceeding the public income. The officers of accounts will submit to your •consideration the ordinary objeSts for appropriation, which have occurred during the recess ; but permit me particularly to suggest, that it"may be proper to mak? a provisional grant for the use of the health office, left the progress of the disease, which at present excites an alarm, should call for pecuniary aid more suddenly and more ex tensively than the powers of the infpeftois could supply. It will likewise, I conceivS', be an a£t of true policy, as well as of benevolence, to provide fame means for employing and pay ing in the public service the indigent and in dustrious citizens, "who may be deprived of the ordinary resources for the maintenance of themselves and their families, during the continuance of the calamity. Gentlemen of the Senate, and Geitlem. n of the House of Rep refenta lives, The general information, which has been received, will not indeed permit me to flatter you the hope, that the malignant and contagious fever to which Ibavejuft alluded, has ceased to exist. It is, I fear, a melan choly truth, that the number of victims in the neighbourhood ofPenn street, in South wark, and in that part of the Northern Li berties, which is called Kensington, ha 3 un doubtedly inereafed in the course of the last week; and some cases, it is said, haveocur red even in the interior of the City. lam aware geatlemen, us the painful confequen ees of these public communications; but I have thought it a» iudifpeuisbk duty, iu aj I matter of such moment, that'every individu al {hould have an opportunity to judge for andtopurfue the measures which his own ideas of security might suggest. To the lufpedtora of the Health-Office, how ever, as more intimately acquainted with the state of the various parts of the city and its suburbs, T have implicitly confined the talk of deviling regulations, to check and prevent the progrtfs of the contagion'; and you will pq[£eive by the Proclamation which I have issued at their earned jrequeft, that whenever they have thought it necessary, to a!k my aid, their plana have received the full support of the Executive Authority. Those plans (which in mod points coincide with the Opinion with the College of Physicians) certainly corttain arrangements that will af feft the feelings and the interests of indivi duals ; biit our Fellow Citizens will perceive ; with their usual candor and good ferife,that I on oceafions like the }>refynt, perfoual con federations must be superseded, by an atten tion to the welfare of the whole community ; and it is great consolation to refleft, that the power is ex rcifed by men chosen by them selves for the purpose; by men whose duties eipofe them to extfaordinary dangers with -ojt the exemption from the operation of the roles they establish; and by men whose vigi lance, judgment, and humanity ,-entitle them ta public confidence andVfteem. THOMAS MIFFLIN. Philadelphia, Augufl 2()th, 1797, ' ' > / A bill appropriating 10,000 dollars to t'xe committee of health, to be by them ap plied to the relief of sick and indigent per sons labouring under malignant or other diseases in the city and liberties of 'Phila delphia, pasTed the house of reprefentatires yesterday afternoon. The Governor informed the Legiflaturd, thit he had negatived the election bill which was presented to him at the last fef ' fion. * The Legislature have adjourned Jtne die. The account publilhed in y,»fterday's Gazette, <jf an alarmi.ig disorder haying broken out in Proyidejice, R. I. is corroborated by letters.i frtnil New York. Ir isjftpprffed t» be the Yel-' low Fever, ants h;s bedn traced with certainty to a veflel from Hifpanrola. f A man by the name o- McDowell, who lately 1 died in Chefnut-Street» and who was reported to have expiryd under *lLthe most hori id fymp- j torn* of the Yellow Fever, and whose death, with the Qii cumftaiirf? attending it, spread such general alarm not only through the city, but thp neighboring towns, il m iw confidently beliered to have died of the Dysentery. Tw» Doctors lately pranounced a man to ex hibit every fyrjiptom of the Yellow Fever. The lir-xt day, he was walkiug the flreett, ind con tinue}; in usual health ; nor has he hadany other disorder than a trifling indisposition. The late Doftor Thomas Bond's iatrodolto ry Leflure to a cn'urfe of Clinirjd observations in«hr Pennsylvania Hospital, deliverrd there the 3d of December 17M, shews his opinion clearly, that the Yell»w Fever may be generated a mnng us—, " The Yellow Fever, which I take to be ex aflly she fame ('iftemper as the plague of Athens, described by Thuc id ides, has been five different times 11 thirelty since roy refidencein it—The fircund time it prevailed it was indigenojn from •-v de»t caufrs, »nd was principally confined to ■jnefquarcof thecltv." i. ' • There are erefted on the vacant ground between Broad-flreet and the Sch'uvlkill, near to the road leading tor the Middle- Ferry, betwixt twenty aud thirty tents, for the reception, wc believe, of such fa milies as have been, or may be, obliged to j leaVe the city on account of the prevailing : fever, and bad not the means of obtaining 'lodgings in the country. * It appears, by information colle&ed for the Philadelphia Gazette, that in -the btiry ing grounds of this city, colleftively, {here wrre.4 adults and 6 children interred in 24 hsurs, eliding yesterday at noon, exclusive 01 the City Hospital and Kenfingtoni / On Friday evening, there fell such a tor rent of rain a few miles tp the northward of this city, as has »ot been witnessed for a long time past, which' raised the in the small rivers and creeks to such a de gree as to do considerable damage. A newly-ere&ed bridge betwixt Germantown nnd Frankford was thrown down, atid con fi4erablc damage was <'<>ne to Frankford bridge, part of the foundation at one end, and the upper walls, haviug given way : in consequence of which a mtlancholy acci dent happened the fame evening. Mr,' Lewis Über (f(?n of David Über, Spripg- Gardens) a young man just of age, was returning to toVvn, and the part of the which had been washed away being overflowed, he and his horse fell off the "bridge '"nto the river, and, though a very good swimmer (perhaps from some injury ■ ht might receive in the Call) he was unfor tunately drowned ! Tl)e horse was saved. The body of the young man was found the next day, and on Sunday ftterred in the burial, ground' of the Genhan Lutheran Church in this city. What adds to the melancholy of this is, the young man was this week to have been married ! A boy about ten or twelve years of age, the son of Widow Wright, in Water-street, betwixt Race and Arch-streets, fell from one of the wharves in the neighbourhood, into the Delaware, and was drowned.

By Major Cafs, of the United Statei ■3d regiment, who arrived in this city oil Monday last, we are informed, that he left Fort Hamilton, on the Great Miami, the 15th of May last, and travelled through the North-western Territory to Detroit ; that as far as he could discover, the Indi ans (hewed no hostile disposition towards the United States, although their minds ap peared to be much agitated, and many of them were moving off to the Spanish fide of the Miflitlippi. The fpint of desertion which had prevailed amongst the American troops'at Detroit, had considerably abated previous to his departure, in consequence of energetic' measures being adopted by brigadier general Wilkinfon. Great cor diality subsisted between the American and British officers in that quarter. BOSTON, Augnft 25. We learn by an arrival at Newberry, that orders had arrived at Curracoa, frorfi Gua daloope, forbidding any American prize veflel, being brought in. Hughes proba bly wants all the provisions at Guadeloupe. ' The privateer arrived at,Marble head, we are informed by a gentleman of that place, is a ffbooner mounting 14 guns and enrrying 70 men. Th? conduft of the crew since her arrival, it is said, has excited some fufpicioßS, that her visit was not for the purpose of bringing dilpatches. And we are informed, one sailor, either whan in liquor or from receiving fomeaffront, threat ened to inform the Selectmen of Marblehead of the real design, which he hinted to be, to gain information, what Indiamen were about failing, or were expe&ed home ,-»*3nd, that to form a pretext for entering our ports, which might prevenr suspicion of the objeft —they emptied the water from the calks— befides the fpeciout one of bringing dispat ches. The sailor alluded to, aftually quit ted the veflel, and the other seamen were so much enraged, that they menaced him with death, if be attempted to return again. He was yesterday seen on the road from Marblehead for Boston. The privateer failed from Guadaloupe July r, and has probably had a very com fortable cruize, being at sea upwards of 50 days, and it is improbable she would have been-thus long, if employed as a dispatch boat. There is mystery too in the captain's pre ferring Marblehead to Boston. A Boftoa fifhrnnan, we are told, whb piloted liim to the former place, urged Incoming in the latter ; but the capt. iofifted upon going into Marblehead. An attempt has h«n made to fire the town of H.
