The gentleman from New-Yoric had said,
that his (Mr. G'<) mode (Jf arguing would not
obtain-Ah»t he prdpofed fiibmiflkm, because
of the expense' which would attend defence—
that he wished to alarm the people ot the Un
ited Staffs, 'by an inlinuation that we did not
po'.lel; the means of defending furielvei?
Was it to aWiri tfic people of the United,
States, that he said !\e did not believe we had
reason to expeft an lnvafton, from thertrength
and resources of our country, and from the
iveaknefs of the enemy ? It was his wish that
ou# danger, our real, situation, (hould be
known, without exaggeration on either fide.
He had himfeft conlidered our situation, and
it appeared to him that the mod %ve had to ap
prehend was from our money resources. If in
1776 there was an immediate danger of inva
sion, he knew very well it was not a time to
confidy of expense ; but when war is made
upon otfr money resources, he thought it
light to take these into confideralion, and
not cripple ourselves in that part which will
be molt exposed. Is it ndt (rue, said he, that
our revenue is chiefly derived from imports >
•And will not war greatly derange that-reven
■*ie » And is it not proper to consider that at
the time we are about to make large expen
ditures of money in defendve measures f. If
an individual was to aft in the way recom
mended by the gentleman from New-York,
his conduct would not be mueh admired. He
acknowledged there might be times whenex
pences might be a.fubord.nate consideration ;
but he believed our present danger principal
ly threatened fmr property, and the deltrue
tion of our revenue. It was proper, there
fore, to let oi.r measures and resources go
hand in hand, iflid it was on this ground that
lie fbould vote against the amendment.
He might be excused if he was actuated in
some degree by the difficulty always attendant
in the reducing of an ellabliiliment when once
gone into. Causes which gave way (o eltas
bliflimeuts may ceale, and eliablilhments con
tinue. He need only refer to our prefect
Military and Naval Eltabl/'rtiments, which
were raised for different purposes from those
for which they are now maintained.
1 he question on the amendment was put
and carried, there being 35 votes in favour
of it.
The resolution as amended was put and
cairied, there being 61 votes for it.
Mr. Sew A Li. rhen called up the resolution
reported at the fame time with the above, for
the purpose of purchasing arms, ammunition
and cannon, which he moved to amend by
giving the President power, in cafe he found
any difficulty in purchasing camion or arms,
to purchase or rent foundries or armouries.—
Some oppofjtion was given to this amend

LONDON, March 2.
High Treason.
Last Thursday, Binns, a well known mem
ber of the I.ondon Corresponding Society,
went to the road of Kent, to provide a con
veyance for certain perlons desirous of going
to France. Government, we believe had in
formation of this proceeding. Binns went to
■Canterbury iji the stage, and from thence
toolc a liorle to review the coad. He agreed
with a fifliermauat Whit (table, to takeover a
gentlemanand his servants to Holland. Whit
ftable is a final! (idling town at the mouth of
the Swale ami also at the mouth of a brook
running from Canterbury, of which it may be
cofifidered as the sea port. The bargain
•Binns made was to give ija guineas,'for con
veying the person* to Holland, and to leave
300 guineas as lecurity ill cafe the veflel
lhould be (eized. The bargain being fet'led,
the parties had advice, of it, and on Sunday
morning they failed from London in the Wliit
ftable hoy. They arrived on Sunday night,
and being met by Binns, they made immedi
ate and eager enquires reflecting theirdepar
♦ure. They at firlt represented that they wifli
ed to go to Holland ; but then they observed
that being better known in France, they
would rather go thither at once. This was
the Itate cf things on Sunday night ; and here
it will be proper to describe the parties that
Came down in the hoy.
James John Fevey, laid to have been a Ro
man Catholic Pried. He is a (frong well
made man, thirty five years of age. .It is fuf
pedted that Fevey is not his real name, and
that he is a very different person from what he
is represented. He is supposed to be a man
of coolequence.
John Ally, a young well made man, mark
ed with the finall pox.
Arthur O'Connor, of whom the publis has
already heard so much refpefting the affairs of
Ireland. '
Lenry< a young man, servant to Mr.
O'Connor, and
Binns, whom we have already mentioned.
These ate the five persons accused. .AH of
them except Binns, arc Irilhmen : we'are not
able to fay whether lie is from .Ireland or not.
These four persons embarked on Sunday
morning from London, in the character ot
•(apt. Jones, and his servants. Fevey was
capt. Jones, and all the others were his fer
v'aiitJ. But when they landed at Whitltabie,
Fevey gave hiinfelf out as colonel Morris,
itnd all their luggage, of which there was a
conljderable quantity, was marked "Colonel
Morris." The parties were net however ve
ry eager to give themselves out for any thin£ ;
bnt % .t Whit (table, enquiriesbeing made, they
with tome reluctant e aud confulion, gave out
themfflves col. Morris arul servants ; and
they did this, notwithstanding their previmis
account that they were capt. Jones and fer-
Vants. r r ■
. This inconliftent account led to suspicion at
Whitltable. . .
Another circumstance leading to suspicion,
wai their extreme anxiety to depart for
l'nnce. , . ,
-'Early on Monday morningthe cuftora houle
officer examined their gooCfs. They freely al
lowed htm to infpeft some packages of hams,
biscuit, and sea (tores, trunks of cloths, &:c.
but certain very heavy fmali mahogany boxes
thev would not open, pretended the firtvant
had not come forward with the keys. This
was another circumstance that txcited (jifpici-
Ob, and the officers refufed to allow them to
depart till those boxes were examine'?.. Now
they found that they wcr/iufpecle.!, and re
solved to feck for a more easy place of em
barkation. For this purpose they on Mon
day night hired a cart to convey away thsir
trunks next morning: The carrier knew not
whither he was bound : but he travelled a
long- the U:id< 011 Tuesday forenoon from
Whitltable to Margate? O'Conrier, Fevey,
See. walked all the way by the fide of the cart ;
the didance is 15 miles. Binns had a map qf
thecoalt, and to the alfonifhment of the carri
er, feffmed to know the roads better than him,
though he had lived in the country many
years. The parly entered Margate on Tues
day afternoon (oon after day light had expir
ed. They desired to be conducted not to one
of the belt inns, but to some filial! public
1 house. The/were accordingly taken to tlie
. King Head, close to the water fide, kept by a
! Mrs. Crickets. Here they took, up their a
| bode on Tuesday night, and made some in
quiries about a fifh.ng boat going to France,
bus the rcfult not being very favonrable ro
their views, they tefolved to .go to Deal next
dav, where there was a friend upon whom
they eould rely for providing them with a
conveyance to France. Of this Cinnsaflured
them, and he seemed to be tin guide in all re
fpeiits-. On Tuesday night they (lept at Mar
gate, witk the determination of setting oft for
Deal next morning.
Reversand Fugion, two of the Bow (treet
officers, were the persons appointed by go
vernment to apprehend them. It is pretend
ed that these officers went down in Kent, at
Gravefend.on other bulinefs ; but we believe
they were ferit from London especially 011 this
bulinefs, and that government had good in
telligence of the proceedings of the parties
now in custody. When the Bow Itreet offi
cers found their men had paded Gravefend,
they followed them, that they (liould
firlt commit themselves with regard to their
of going to France before they were
apprehended : &at the fame time the officers
were prepared with d veifel to follow and
leize them had they embarked. It wastho't
that the parties had fufficicntly commitied
themselves at Whitltable, with regard to their
place of destination, and it was feared they
would take a veflel under pretence of going
to Deal, Dover, or some other part of the
coalty and when they had it at sea, compel the
crew to carrey them to France. These reasons
niade the officers resolve to seize them at Mar
gate ; they saw that they might escape to the
continent without embarking for that country,
and they saw 110 pro'pect of having better
proof against them than they were actually
polTelTed of with refpeitto their object ofgo
! ingto France. The officers, therefore, re
solved to seize them next morning. On'l'uef
j day night tiiey got hold of the carter, and
■ drew from him every information pollible. At
firlt he was not at all communicative, the
parties having cautioned him to be silent re
fpefting whatever he might observe ; but be
ing urged by the officers, lie told all he knew.
011 VVednefday morning about si ve o'clock,
the Bow (treet proceeded to the King's
head, at Margate, to arrelt the parties. The
officers had previoully consulted some cu(torn
house officers, whom they engaged in their
j cause, together with a party of the military.
! Fevey was in the parlour at breakfaft. They
bounced in upon him by surprise. Binns they
apprehended coming down liairs, and O'Con
nor and Leaiy they took in their bed rooms.
On Binns were fouiid a pair of piltols, and all
theothers were provided "with arms.
From Fevey's person was taken a large
strong (harp, serpentine fliaped dagger. As the
parties w ere taken separately, they were ealily
secured. Fevey submitted quietly, but O'-
Connor formed much. Before the proper
measures were taken at Margate fqr securing
their luggage, papers, the witnefles, &c. it
was nine o'clock 011 Wednesday, when all the
parties departed under a military elcort for
Canterbury. As they travelled (lowly, it
was too late when they arrived in Canterbury
to hope to reach London the fame day in any
reasonable time for'bulinefs.
They therefore resolved to remain all night
•at the Red Lion. Several military officers, a
mong others lord Paget, came to fee the pri
soners. Fevey was civil, though reserved,
but O'connor and Binns were very warm and
indignant, (peaking in language designedly
offenlive to their vilitors. They remained on
mattrall'es all night, prisoners ai d officers in
the lame room, and a military guard in the
Early yelterday morning they departed from,
Canterbury, and arrived at the public office,
Bow (treet, under aguard of light liorfe, a
bout half palt 3 o'clock. They came in three
post chaises, befidesa post coach with the lug
gage and some of the witnefles, and the escort
conlilled of twelve horsemen. It was not the
hours of business at the public office, Bow
(treet, when they arrived; but Mr-. King,
secretary to the Duke of Portland, Mr. Ford,
and other magirtratcs, were inllaritly afleni
bled, before whom they underwent a flight
examination.
From the firC. of their arrest, Fevey said le
went down to the coast t»r his health, and
was desirous of going to Ireland in a veflel.
O'Connor and Binns reftifed to answer any
quertion and in the conduct they refpeCftively
perlilted before the magiltrates. Mr. O'Con
nor avowed who he was, and Binns was ealily
identified! On be ng taken, they owned (uch
trunks as contained clothes, & such packages
as contained provisions; but they denied all
knowledge of certain finall mahogany boxes,
said to have been in their pofleffions.
These boxes were uncommonly heavy ;
made so, it was supposed, for the purpose of
finding, had'he velfei in which they were been
fpized by any EngLlh (hip of war. .These
boxes had not been opened at 7 o'clock lad
night; the contents of them are fir/l to be
examined by the Privy Council. It is re
ported that tl-.ey contain many important pa
pers relpeiHing a traiterous correspondence
between Ireland and France, and England and
I ranee, Inch as a flu ranees and declarations of
the various societies and individuals. It would
be improper to relate here all we have he aid
respecting the papers. They are represented
'_as of the utmolt importance, and likely to dis
close the mod interelling facts. In the pock
et of a great coat hanging in the room where
Ftvey was taken, a declaration or address to
the Directory was found. This paper, it is
said proves the correspondence of the parties
with the Directory
Feveydifowns the paper, and denies that
the coat belongs to him ; but the officers lay
the coat mult be his as it is powdered on the
neck, and he is the only person of the 5 who
wore powder. It seems he did not wear pow
der till he set offon his journey. The paper,
it is said, purports to be an address from the
Executive Directory us Britain (conltituted of
members of the London correlpondmg focje
ty) to the Executive Directory of France,
dating that a delegate from each dtvifion were
then fitting, and that the hearer was the wor

ExtrnQ of a letter from Massachusetts, dated
<jth April, 1798,
; •* An union in Congress in dccifive mea
sures would unite the whole people ; but a
divided and weak Congress, may involve the
nation in great calamities. This danger
awaits us. How deeply to be regretted
that Congress should have wafted at lead
two months at this eventful period in child
! i(h.debates in making fpeeehes for newspa
pers, when the all-important concerns of the
nation required manly decision. The inter
course bill employed fix weeks, when it
ought to have been decided in a day ; —the
spitting business, which did not require an
hour, took up two weeks. Not only the
precious time is loft at this momentous a:ra,
but the dignity of Congress is loft with it.
The long fpeeehes, the fuffering of grcifs is
dccenc es, wrangling of members, the hints
at challenges, and the trifling afpeft of con
gressional proceedings this fefiion, form a
fubjeft of universal regret among all classes
of sensible men. Our only hope under
providence, is in the wisdom and firmnefs of
the President, with a majority of good men
in the Senate ; for as to the house of repre
fentatlves, the reins of government seem
ready to fall out of their hands ; indeed it
seems to be the sole aim of many long fpealc
ers to weaken the executive, and to prevent
the legislature from doing any to secure the
nation : Equally opposed to the neceflary
means for public credit, to the fulfilment of
contrails, and to the means of defence to
our commerce. If some are not traitors,
their aftions look like treafori. It is high
time for some gigantic genius to arise who
(hall be able to " rule the wilderness of free
minds" and lead the house of representatives
to pursue business with dispatch.
The President's proclamation for a faft,
ftrrkes me as a wife mea&jre—and the senti
ments it contains are"excellent, rfttly- worthy
of his high station, and do honor to his
country : I am sure they will meet'the warm
approbation of every good man.
Communications from Philadelphia men
tion that we may expc£t a lift of tration
will soon be published, See. how much trutlf
there may be in. this I cannot fay ; that
there are many traitors in our country I
have no doubt, and should be rejoiced to fee
t he wretches brought to condign punifhmettt.
I cannot biit entertain a hope that it may
be 10. It certainly would not wound our
humane feelings so much to fee such crimi
nals go to execution, as the petty robber ur
house breaker.
I am favored with your gazettes, find
they contain as usual good fluff. But what
avails preaching to deaf ears—or beauty to
blir.d eyes. Congress I perceivecontinu-: to
trifle away day after day as if they were
<waiting for something to' do. Hence the
town meetings at Roxbury & Cambridge—
how many lunatics may follow I cannot tell
but all the jacobins and 'all they can seduce
will rife in proportion as Congress ftnks. —
Countless are the evils winch are resulting
from the inert, faithlefs and factious repre
sentatives. Their demerit is the universal
theme ; it palsies the country. What can
be done ? Are we to fit still and fee these
dead fifh go down dream, and carry the
country with them. Even the federalifts are
not half awake, there is little point or de
cision in many ; iong and lank fpeeehes still
occupy their time. Scarcely one appears to
feel the dignity andrtfponfibilityof his feat ;
theyarevulgatifedby so much low company
and the perpetual din of nonsense. If pro
videncedoes not work wonders for us, as in
times past, woe to our country. If we had
no foreign foes, it might admit of a doubt
whether it would be rational to attempt to
prevent the government from making the
' port of monarchy—as the antrs are crowding
J all failtoreaeh it while their democratic flag
: is flying at mall head—and not a few tics are
• cutting away all the main cables which held

MR. FENNO,
The observations of Bache in the Auro
ra of this morning, refpefting the Grand
Jury are worthy of himfelf. The wretch
cannot write but to abuse—nor speak but
to villify. I would advise him not to leave
his Press, for he may be aflured there will
be as much business shortly as he and his
friend Callender can attend to. AddrefTts
from all parts of the Union are coming for
ward, and, it is his duty to attack them,
r because they 6'xprefs the determination of
f the People to support their government.—
J " The Grand Jury,"he observes, are the
, creatures of the Marshal." I was one of
i that body, and I aflert he is a Liar.
J It would be degrading indeed, if there
: (houldbe a man in the United States, who
s would hesitate for a moment, to whose" af
fertiftn to attach the molt credit ; to that, of
, any one of thej late Jury, or of Benjamin
- Franklin Bache. I have not time jutt now
r to fay as much to this man as I could wish ;
s I will,- however, recommend to him to dif
i charge the Notes which he gave to his pa
per makers ; and which, fuice last October
• have been laying protested in one of the
r | Banks of this city, before he fays any thing
f more about Credit.

" Before this you witl probably
have heard dreadful accounts of this place,

never was the smallest apprehenlions of dan
