TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28.
, ~l* /TR, S. Smith appeared to day for
.lVi. the fa'ft time this feflion.
Mr. Otis presented the petition of Jona
than Jackfoii, Supervisor of the State of
Massachusetts, ttating that the duties of his
office were so greatly encreafed that he found
it impossible to make his returns to govern
ment in due time, without assistance ; he
rprjys,- therefore, to be allowed additional
compensation, that he may be enabled to
employ a clerk or (w, as necessity may re
quire.—Referred to the Secretary of the
Trcafury.
Mr. O. also presented the petition of De
• borah Gannett, praying compensation for
bher fetvicesas a fojdicr in the revolutionary j
war, under the name of Robert Shirtliff, ;
flat ing, that (he is able to produce certificates
not only cf her having served, but also of j
her having been wounded. —Referred to :
the Committee of Claims.
Mr. Coit moved for the order of the day j
. oil the reported answer to the Prelident's
Speech.
The motion being agreed to, the House
accordingly resolved itfelf into a committee
of the whole upon that fubje£t, Mr. Dent
in the Chair, and the Address having been
read through by the Chairman (as given in
our paper of yesterday) it again read
by paragraphs. The four firft were read,
without any objefhon being offered to them.
The fifth being gone through,
Mr. Pinckney said he had to propofea
small alteration to this clause. He wished
to the latter part of it a little less harlh.
Instead of faying, " we shall infill upon the
fame justice from others," &c. bethought
it would have the fame efi'eft, and the terms
Vould be less objedlionable, if the passage
ran thus, " nothing shall be wanting on our
part to obtain the famejuftice from others,"
&e. The expreflion used, he said, might be (
- perfefUy juftifiable, but if we could obtain :
i what we wished, without the poflibility of
I .giving offence, he thought that mode ought
to he preferred. It was on this account that
he wiihed the phraseology to be changed.
✓Mr. VINABtE' would suggest an amend- 1
• ment, which he thought would produce the
effeft wished by the gentleman just fat down,
without changing the phraseology so much I
as he had proposed : The way in which this
might be done, would be by flriking out
the word " insist," and inserting that of
expeft.
Mr. Pikckney did not think this amend
ment would produce the effeiS he wiflied.—
I Expeftation, he said, might be entertained,
without making an effort to obtain the ob
jeft. We had already expeffed'z long time
without effeft. He wished to express the
fame firmnef6 which the committee intended
by their report ; but, at the fame time to
avuid any thing like harshness. If th* effeft
of the proposed substitute had appeared to
be the fame, he fhonld have been sorry to
have cavilled about words.
Mr. Rvtlißc e a* a member of-the
committee W U:.??rt«l the address, he did
not feel tenacious as to the wcraing oi i*.
" At firft, hie thought with his colleague, who
proposed the amendment, that the word in/JJI
was* rather harsh ; but, upon a little reflcc
_ tion, his objeftions to the phrase were remo
ved. Indeed, be thought the proposed a
mendment would make the pafiagc stronger
than it was in the original. They might
' " insist, he said in argument ; looking upon
the treaty as a good one, they might infill
upon its execution ; but if it were net to
be effe&ed without goingto war, they m:ght
afterwards relinquish it. The amendment
he thought more forcible. It said nothing
shall be wanting to obtain,'&c. Which would
"be to fay, we look upon the Treaty as a
good one, and nothing ihall be wanting on
our part to obtain its fulfilment. The words
might be even considered to fay, that we are
determined to have the treaty carried into
«fft£l, though war should be the price of
the determination.
Mr. Venable said, it was an objcdtion
to the proposed amendment that the lame
phraseology occnrred in the last paragraph.
He thought, therefore, it would be belt to
change the words in the way he had suggest
ed ; for though the word e X pj3 was less
harsh, ke thought it equally forcible with
Bayard was in favour of the amend
ment of the gentleman from S. Carolina,
and if the fame phraseology had beeni propo
► fed in the feleft committee, he should there
have supported it. He did not think the
fu'oftitute which had been proposed by the
• gentleman from Virginia would produce the
effeft intended by the gentleman from S.
Carolina. It was the intention of the com
mittee who repotted the address, to fay
something on the fubjeft; but the proposed
substitute said nothing. As to the objection
of the gentleman, on account of the fame
phraseology occurring in another part of the
'iddrefa, there would be no difficulty iniec
- tifving that, so 33 to produce that variety
which the gentleman fcemcd so delnous of
hj Mr! 'Dayton (the Speaker) approved of
,be amendment of the gentleman frorri S.
Carolina, but not from the reasons which
that gentleman had urged m support ot it,
but for tbofe which his eolleague hac. pro
duced againit it ; not because it was n,iore
smooth, but because it contained more of
liucifion and firmnefs. He tnou-ht, in this
refoeft, this country had been trifleo w.t.i,
and any opinion expre-ffed by them upon
Liiij fut]ii£t, ought to be done with a firm
riefs of tens. ~ ✓
Mr. Livixgston fcid, ?.s gertlerrseri
thought it aeceP.ary to give the reasons of
their vote npon the occaiion, he would just
mention his. IF it were intended to be in
ferred by the phrafeolugy used upon this oc
casion, as some gentlemen seemed to fup
pofe,that they were difpifed to go to war in
support of the executive in their confirm:-
tion of the negoeiation with Spain, he was
not prepared to fay this for his constituents.
He did not think the l'ubjefl was fufficiently
matured to give this decision. He consi
dered the proposition as a general one, and
preferred the amendment of the gentleman
from S. Carolina to the orginal—He did
not, indeed, think it matcirally different,
until he heard the objections urged against
it by a gentlemSn who was upon the Com
mittee (Mr. Rutledge). Hs bad said they
might injijt in argument. How infill in ar
gument ? What had that House to do with
argument? Were they to carry on the
Treaty? No. All the infiftlng they could
(hew m;ift be by aSs and not by arguments.
The Mr. Pinckney's amend
msnt was put and carried, there being six
ty two members in the affirmative.
The remainder of the address was then
gone through, without further observation.
Mr. Hauler enquired whether it would
now be in order to go back to the firft par
agraph. On the chairman's informing him
it would, he said lie thought there was an
expreflion in the latter part of that para
graph which would require alteration. He
meant that part which spoke of the law
which contemplates contagious sickness at
the feat of government. He supposed the
committee meant to recommend fueh a law,
as he believed there was not a law of that
kind at present in existence. He therefore
moved to flrike out the words which had
this reference.
Mr. Otis said, hii friend from S. Caro
lina had overlooked the law in question,
which was pasTed in 1794, inconsequence
of the contagious sickness which had been
experienced in this city the preceding year,
and which gave to the President of the Unit
ed States, the power of convening Congress
in any other place.
Mr. Harper acknowledged his mistake,
and that his proposed amendment was there
fore unnecessary.
Mr. Harper said, he wished to propose
an alteration in the phraseology of the fourth
clause. It did not appear to him to be very
polite, to talk to other Nations about their
jealousy and avarice ; and whatever might
be the latitude proper to be taken in private
debate, when the House expressed itfelf
publicly, he thought all unnecefTary harlh
nefs (hould be avoided. He wished, there
fore, to flrike out some words, and intro
duce others, so that the passage instead of
reading as at present, might be thus express
ed : •' and white the exleti/ion of our Naviga
tion and Trade may excite jealousy and tempt a
•varice five are, of."
Mr. Bayard was opposed to this amend
ment He did not think the phraseology
could give umbrage to any Nation whate
ver, lince no Nation could apply the phrase
to itfelf. If the gentleman would confidcr
the paragraph, he would find, that it was
hot said that any particular Nation was jea
lous or avaricioue; but merely, if any Na
tiofl were possessed of jealtfufy and avarice,
o\fr Navigation and Trade would naturally
excite their jealousy and t eir.pt their avarice.
Any general sentiment might as well be ob-
Jested to as this. When it was said that
the riches of one man t;mpt the avarice of
others, it could not possibly be inferred
th't asy pjriicaiar man was pointed at.
Mr. Harper did not thii>k the amend
ment of very great importance, though of
fufficient to be adopted. He did not think
any nation could juflly take the expreflion
to itfelf, or rhat they tould with propriety
be offended at it ; but he thought it bettet
to avoid all harsh expressions. He thought
a proper degree of spirit, and even ofaagei
and revenge, might be (hewn, without un
becoming expressions ; not that he meant tc
fay the expreflion in question was tinbecom
ing, but he thought it was haifh. H(
was alfoof opinion thatthc discriminations 01
his friend on the fubjeft of jealousy and.ava
rice were more nice than solid.
The queflon was then put on Mr. Harper's
amendment, and negatived 47 to 33.
The Committee then rofc and reportec
the address with one amendment. lh<
House took it up aad agreed to the a
mendment.
Mr. BaVard then moved an amendment
to correft the phraseology of the last para
graph, so as not to claih with the amend
ment ; bat the speaker informing him th<
amendment could not be~ introduced withou
a recommittal the Address was agreed t(
without further amendment.
Mr. Otis moved, that the Speaker, at
tended by the House, shall present the faic
address to the President of the Unite*
States ; and that a committee be appointei
to wait upon the President to know whei
andwhere it will be convenient to him t<
receive the fame.—Agreed.
Mr. Hap.per moved that the House re
solve itfelf into a committee of the whole, o
the report of the secretary of State, on th
memorial of Antonia Carmichael, widow 0
William Carmichael, deceased ; which be
ing agreed to, the House resolved itfelf ir.t
a committee accordingly, and the repot
was read from the chair.
It appears that the late William Carm
chael (formerly a delegate in Congrefsfror
Maryland) was appointed secretary of leg:
tion to Mr. Jay, minister plenipotentiary fc
negociating a treaty with the king of Span
in "September, 17 79 ; that the coinmiffion
I to the fecrttaries to foch ministers, at ths
! time, dire&cd that in cafe of the death c
j the minister, or necessary abfcnce, they ai
' to takecharge of allpublicaffairsin hishand:
' and to reside at such court ; that on the 4t
: of O(Sober, 1779, Congress refolvtd th:
each of the minillers plenipotentiary be a
lowed at the rate of 2,50 c!. per annum, an
each ot their ten«tir;;3 at :..t ratecr iO v .:.;. ex

til he received a formal ippoiJßr.cn t in A- w1
pril 179 C», of charge des aflT-uW, tinder the in

Hence it follows that Mr. C. was entitled of
not only to the salary of locol. sterling as , an
secretary, but to iuch other allowances as an
were proper to be made to a charge des as- ■ w'
fair:, or minister of the United States at a to
foreign court ; for though the salaries were : fu
laid to be in full for their ftrvices and ex- ! ar
pences, yet it was ufnal to make othef al- ; vs

the court of Spain, foreign minifterj were ; th
obliged to attend the court at their five dif- I ra

he was under the necefiitv of hiring a house ; ki
the Secretary of State therefore reports that j ft

A concurrence wiih this report was advocated j
by Mfflrj. Harper, Hartley, Pinckney, Sprigg, (
Gallatin, Bayard, Craik, and T. CUibora, on the
grouad of equity and humanity. It was oppefed [
by MeOra. Williami, Macon, and Coit; they with- 1
ed for further time and information on the fubjeft, 1
and for that purpose, Mr. Williams moved that
the committee rife, in order that it might be dis
charged from a farther confWeration of the fubjeft,
and tlut the Viufiuefj might be referred to the com
mittee of claims. It was urged by the fri-nds of
the report, that farther information could not be
had than was contained in the report, aud that the 1
principle might as well now be decided up*n as nt
any diflaet period ; that being a cafe founded on
equity an£not on law, it was not a proptr (übjcA
to be transferred to the tommittee of claim'-
They urged also, that a deby of j'.ftice was in (
this, a« in most other cases, a denial of it ; that
tlcc'ellatet of the widow were mortgaged, and had
been kept from sale from the 1 opek of feceiving
what flae petitioned for from coiigtvfs. At length
th« motion for ihe committee to rife was put and 1
negatived, there being only seven vote in favor of
it. A resolution was th«u agreed te, authorizing
the accounting officeis of the trralury to fettle the
account, and a committee appointed to bring in a
bill.
Mr. I.ivinoston that the petition of An
drew Pipfiin, and the report therecn, be referred
Jo the committee of claims.—Agreed.
Mr. Otis, from the committee to
wait upon the President, tohr.ow when and where
it would be conveniint to liirn to rec»ive the ad
dress in answer to his fpeccb, reported that they
had attended to that fervic*, and that it would be
convenint to him to receive it at his houl'e, to
morrow at IX o'clock.
Mr. .Swanwick present 'd the petition of Ed
ward Thompson, afuldier in the late war, for re
lief, which, Leing read, he moved to be referred
t*the committee of claims; but the chairman of
that connuitttec Dating, that the famepetition was
reported npon last feflion, and leave given totle
petitioner to withdraw his papers, the m-tionw.a»
negatived, there only being 18 votes in favor of
the reference. Adjourned.

ftern, aged about 40, and a young woman
by the name of Elizabeth Folkenhan, aged
24, were found dead in a bed at Miss Eol
kenhan's in the Bowery.
On this truly (hocking discovery a jury
1 of inquest was immediately fuanmoned, who
found, by letters which were on the table
■ from each party, aud other corroborating
i circumflances, that they had mutually a
: greed to die in this way—on which they
■ adjudged, that Leowenftern firft (hot Eliza

It appears, that her filter had sent to the

1 open, the discharge of a pistol was heard ;j
- and 011 afeending, both th<* man aud woman j
