ehants and bankers of this cTtyWFPI nj
to a conference with the minister of finance j,
at which the Italian Hero attended.—The e
question propounded, was " the best man- x
ner of supplying in a prompt, txpeditious (
manner, those means which the wish of the
government and the general with of the peo- c
pie call for, by a descent an England." The
minister asked for a further loan, whieh he t
was certain would not be denied, as the de- !
mand was only for one half of what they e
s,migh'. fubferibe, to be advanced immediate- _
ly; the mode in which this loan was to be a
effefted was the only difficulty, and it wis j.
for this purpofc that the meeting was call
ad, as this loan is quite d'fferent from all o- t
thers heretofore made, he dtfired their as t
sent. He did not wish to fill them with i- j.
deas of enormous interest, nor, at the fame r
time wi(h to intimidate them to fubfei-ibe; :
he informed them of the only recompense r
they would receive inflead ofintereft—That c
of revenging the wrongs cf our Gountry, t
and punishing the mo 9 perfidious g©vern- j t
ment in the world; to annihilate it; and by ; j
that means give liberty to millions The (
loan, at any rate, should be guaranteed, ,
by government, in cafe of misfortune. It
will have the security in the bravery of our t
armies, who feeroed to have chained victory 1
to their fide.—They will fiud in the contfi- 1
buttons which (hall be laid on that perfidious j
coun ry, a fufficient profit for their loans.—
The merchants atid bankers of Paris, wiH
not be behind hand, certainly, in efforts
with the reft of the country to accomplish
this much wished for expedition. He fin
ifhed by faying that he was certain of meet
ing with that success, in hopes of which he
had called the meeting. I ,
Buonaparte joined his observations to
those of the minister, and it was, as if by
eleflricity, immediately resolved that a de
putation should beg an audience with the
Directory, and inform them that they*.vcre
in transports of joy at the proportion
The proposed audience was given yester
day with all the solemnity which a mcafur*
of this kind demanded.
Fifteen merchants and bankers were in
troduced to the Diredtory, palling through
two rows of grenadiers, who paid them
military honours, and the mafic played those
patriotic airs which always accompany vic
tory — In the hall were the five diredlors, in
full dress, accompanied by all the ministers
and several general officers. Any endea
vours to serve the country certainly de
serve applanfe, and these. deputies certain
ly met with their (hare, 111 the acclamations
of the public as thty passed the streets.
The minister of finance open.-d the business
of the audience. The deputation, by the
voice of citizen Fulcheron, said, that to
forward the views of the Directory and of
France, the merchants of Paris were dispo
sed to give an example of their perfeft con
fidence in them, by advancing such funs as
they might want, without the hopes of
gain, and offering government the use of
their purses and credit, aud at the fame
time promising to inform their correspond
ents in fore'gn parts of this their proceed
ing, and engaging them to the fame pur
pcfe: that although they do sot undertake
Ito atifwer for their fellow-bankers Jtc. in
France, they offer for themselves, and are
: , certain that the fatiefadtion of
1 j conquering England will draw forth their
1 patriotic exertions-
The piefident aufweredthemin a suitable
■ | manner, and exprefTed the thanks of the Di
; j reitory—'After which the deputation was
j introduced into ati inner apartment, where
1 1 they had a private converfatiori with the di
rectory the result of which we do not know
■ but we are affurcd the two parties were e
: ' qually fatisfied, and that there is hopes the
: , generous demeanor of the merchants and
, bankers of Paris will operate as an txample
1 to all true Frenchmeu, and lovers/jf their
country.
: Tremble, in your turn, perfidious govern
-1 ment, who, with your floating tallies be
: lieve yourselves invulnerable. Tremble at
I the vengeance of Frenchman! Infpiteofl
: theex'oauftcd (late of our ref«urGes,we have
still enough left of both (leel and gold, to

The result of the f«ci*t audience we do
1 not know officially, but we are allured from
unquellionableauthority. thata firfl advance
of 40 millions was agreed on, and further
sums, if neceflary, at a momen.'s warning-
Their example will be followed by all the

to whom was referred the memorial and pe

solution Congress of the x Bth of March,
1780. The report was read as follows :
That a ftaiement of the cafe of the holders
of bills of this delcription Is eontainrd in a re
port of the accounting officers of the Treasury
made 01) the 24th day of December 1795, in
pmfuance of an entitled " An adt relative

" Class 8. The claims of this class are found

" It is unWerfloid that the fcveral ftites con

" dates of New-Hamp:i.ire, MafTathufetts and
" Khode lfland.
" This species of papt-r hat never been confid

" United States"
In the variou- arrangements which have been
made fiace the efiahliihment of the p efent go
verument, relative to the debt of the United
States, no provision ha* ever been made for these
bills—they appear from the face of them to be
evidences of debt against ite slates individually
who had ifiwed them, and could not be provided
for by the United States, without raising a
charge against those slates ; and it was reafona
blyto be prefumtd that ihe slates concerned
would make fu.h provision as the jultice ana
equity of the cafe required.

" The true nature of the contra<3 therefore

The prepofni'lll of the Secretary on this fub
jeiSl, wj» not adopted by Cori^rels.
It is a fad notorious th„t thei'e bills fjpk in
the fame vertex of a eitrprecistior. With the old
con.inental bills, and white they continued to
circulate were generally in the ratio of lofty of
the old, for one of the new.
This unfortunate depreciation, which operat
ed opon all the paper mone.y nates and certifi
cates, ifTued during the war, neceflitate.l the
United States to adobt principles re'ative ro
them whicb cannot apply in cases <>f ordinary
co'ntra#— the ftajes, individually, have assumed
similar privilcgci; and n making j»r. vilion for
the bills in queltiwn, in some instances, have con
fidcred thera as a depreciated currency.
The committee »re informed,thaf all the fbtes
who iffurd bills of this dtleription, have a'rea •
dy made provifnn for their redemption, either
at their nominal amount, or at a eeriair, ratio of
depreciation, except the state of Rhnd«-Jfland—
i and they think it is fairly to be presumed, that
the states have made as liberal * proviiion as
the nature of the cafe demanded.
The United States have once made allowanc
es to the several states in settlement of their ac
counts for the supplies for which those bills
were ifTued ; should they make any further pr»-
vision, th«y must consider the several states as
indebted to them for the amount of such pro
viiion.
From an attentive eonfideration of all the
eireumftanees of this cafe, whicl) the committee
have endeavoured fully to exaihine and present
to the vieiv of the house they are of opinion,
that it will not be expedient for Congress. to
make any provision for the payment of said
bills ; they therefore recommend that the peti
tioners, refptflively, have leave to withdraw
their petitiens. f
This report was advocated by Meflrs Coit
fr """ nppr.Mff Try-*-.. 1 ~| r* .11 t | _
all, Livinglton, Otis, J. Williams and Day
ton.
The latter gentleman thought the report
of the committee was incomplete, as it did
not appear to have distinguished between the
principal and the intereil of these bills. . He
agreed with the comkiittee, with refpeft to
the principal, but was of opinion the Unit
ed States were bound to pay the interefl,
and that as the states which had negle&e'd to
make due proviiion, for these bills were cre
ditor states with the United States, any sum
which Congrefj'ftwild agree to pay, might
be' justly set off againit what was du« to
them. He hoped, therefore, the report
would be re-committed, and a diftin£tion
made betwee the principal and interefl.
After some conversation on this fubjeci,
in which it was stated, that there would be
no end gained by a re-committal, and that
if the report was not fufficiently explicit, it
might be made so, the question on agreeing
to the report was put and carried, there be
ing 62 votes for it.
The committee then rose, the house took
up the report, which after being amended,
by adding, after the word bills," or any
interejl thereon, it was agreed to, there being
62 votes in its favor.
Mr. Livingfton said, he was inftrufted
by the committee of commerce and manufac
tures, to all; for the appointment of a mem
ber upon that committee in the place of Mr.
Swanwick, whose ill state of health did not
permit him to attend the house.—Agreed,
and Mr. Otis was appointed.
Mr. L. added, that he wilhed to a(k ah
explanation of the house refpeiting an im
portant fubjeft. Two atfs ot the Britilh
parliament had been referred generally to the
committee of commerce and manufadlures,
and there had been some doubts in the com
mittee as to the proper course ta be taken.
Some members thought the objeA of the
reference must have been far them to state
fatts relative to their operation, or to report
what measures may be necessary to be taken
in consequence of this operation, which
would ferionfly affedt the commerce and na
vigation of the United States. In order to
determine this point he proposed the follow
ing resolution tor the adoption of the house:
" Rtfolved, that the committee of com
merce and manufaftures be iwllrndted to ex- 1
amine the two afts of the Britilh parliament !
referred to thefn, and report the operation
thereof on the commerce and navigation of j
the United States."
On motion of Mr. Otis, ordered to lie
on the table.
Mr.. Bayard presented a petition from the
Diftrift Attornies, praying for some altera
tions with refpeit to their fees.—Referred j
to a feletS committee.
Mr. Sewall moved that the house resolve
itfelf into a committee of the whole on the
state of the Union, in order to consider the
resolutions reported on Thursday, in conse
quence of the message of the Prelident; hut
the usual hour of adjournment being arriv
