PffILJDEL PHIA,
\VEDNESDAY EVENING, AuguJ 30.
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.

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

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

leaVe the city on account of the prevailing :

/ 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,

others appeared. By some address the ci

ALBANY, August 2j.
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.
