of peacr, and there is no to break .if, h ! with 3d to as in .1 lUte of peace.— , Gentlemen had Ipoken of the true touchstone, and ot parties; \he true distinction of party in that house seemed to be> ■ hat certain gen tlemen are determined to take every means which leads to expence and patronage, and others arc as determined inoppoling that ex ycncc and that patronage. He belived this v. as in Congrefsthe trne criterion of party Therefore when augmentations of our mili tary force were contemplated, it was ftiewn to the House where they were to be employ ed, and the propriety of theincreafe was tes ted by the neceflity which was thewn for them; but now, because the French govern • raent, or somebody for them, has (aid some foolilh things, an array is toberaifed, without faying how, or where it is to be employed. Is there, said Mr. M. a man in the counffy, who is nor blinded by party spirit, who can believe that the French government knew any thing of the unauthorized conversations held with our CommilfiOners in Paris? Is there an American who believes that one half the people of ihis countryitre devoted to Francfc? It could not be believed. If the people of Charleston, or any other place, think ihemfelves in danger, he was willing to let them have as many troops as ihey a!ked for; but, as had been nated, 5000 were a greyer ftumbfr than had been (hewn to be necefl'ary. He was opposed to the bill altogether, as he latf no neceflity for it. He believed f any nation chose to make an at tempt to latvi men in this-cotintry, the militia would be able to kill them as fa(t as they could be brought. He hoped wever again to fee whut lie saw in the late waf —American armed again It American. If ever we were a gain called to arms, he trusted there would be but one sentiment in America, as to the pro priety or justice of the cause in which we fight. Gentlemen talked loudly about the Inde pendence of the country, as if they were the lole guardians of it. Could it be supposed that men who had fought to gain that inde pendence, would now be more willing than they who had taken no part in the contest, to relinquilh the prize to any Nation ? It could ny be supposed. Nor could he believe with the gentleman from New-Jersey (Mr. Day ton) that the Army of England could be in tended for this country. He underltood thar Army was proposed ia be sent ov# to Eng gland in open Doats, whichgentierhen would not contend could bring them hither. He believed that it was not proper on this, or on any »ccafion, where danger was apprehended, to (hew a distrust of our countrymen, fromany difference of political opinion which may exiit amongfl them ; for, whatever maybe their va rianee io that rei'petfl whenever an enemy ap per.rs, they will unite in repelling him. At to what had been faicl about the fbhjugati 11 cf*h s country*, it wa«- id'e. He did not believe that . all the powers of Europe united could fubjagate the United States. Ht should be in favor or 5,:oo men, because they would only cost hall theexpence of jo,coo The queAion for striking out 20,000 to insert 5,000, was put and negatived 4J to 41 The qneftion novv returned upon striking out so,ooo to insert io,coo. Mr. N. Smith hoped this amend men would not be agreed to. It was contempla ted, when this reduction was proposed, that the power should be given to the President for three years; b llt w as now reftricled to the recess of Congress. He did not himfelf think that at present there was any danger of an invalion, nor did he believe that imminent danger of an invasion would ex'rft, whilst the war continued betwixt France af*l«England ; but, whenever a peace lhall take place be twixt those two powers, the que/fion ought then to be this country ought not immediately to go into preparations for war, and if Congress were nDt in feflion at the time, the President ought to have the power of deternjffiing this question. It will depend on several circumfhmces— 011 what kind of Peace was made—upon what ground parties flood when peace was made —®n the "iituation of France dtfthe time—on what kind 1 of men are in power-—on the situation of this country—on what is the slate of parties here at the time —what is the number of those who ' are opposed to the government—how many 1 there tire of those who wi/Ti to lull the reft to j deep —and what is the amount of spies in the country. All these will be important conta- derations to be decided at the time, and if it 1 flial! tiic . appear that imminent danger does 1 exist, will 20,000 men be too large a number I to raise ? lie believed nor. Another consideration of great importance . wis, the language which the house would ' hold to Europe in adopting this amendment. It is laid, that in cafe of invasion, war, of imminent danger, ac.ooo men will be too ' many to-be raised ; we will only raise 10,000. He did not think luth language the most pro- I i per on such anoccalion, If, the French invade this eountry, it mult he with a view to fubjngate it ; and if so, it ' nmft be done through the nte'lium of a Re- ' volution ; and it the date of parties at the ' time anthorifes an expectation of fue'eefs, we J may expeft them here. And though he be. ( lieved, with other gentlemen 011 this floor, ■ that therfc is no'danger of an invasion at pre- 1 fant, it was because he believed the opinions frequently exprelTed imthis house by the gen tleman front Pennsylvania and others, were not very prevalent out of doors. If- they were, he (hould count upon nothing less than Revolution and Subjection. To provide for the raising of lets than jo,ooo men, would in • his opinion, rather invite attack, than serve to repel it ; and as the men would not berai-, (cd, except tjiey were wanted, there could be 110 reasonable hesitation about the matter. < The queltion for striking out 10,000, and inserting 10,000, was put and carried, 54 J in favourofit. The queftinn next came upon agreeing to the section proposed by the seleCt committee, 3 for authorizing the President, from time to ' time, as he fli.ill deem it neceflary, to call forth in rotation such portions, not exceeding i at any one tiir.c the number ps ao,ooa men of ; the detachments of the militia of the United , States, authorized by the aft of the 14th June lad, as may be conveniently mullered toge- J ther, and cause them to be trained and diiei plined by their proper officers, either in th«ir 1 respeCtive States, or'in one corps, to be < drawnfrom two or more adjoining States, for i a term not exceeding for which time , the officers and men (hall bfe considered as in actual service and be paid and governed ac- ' conlingly. c Afrcr fonie difcuflion, in j»hich conflituti- I onal objeClions were urged againlt this provi- f tion, the committee role without takint; a t quellion upon it, 4nd the house adjourned t till Monday. , a William Meredith, Attorney at Law.

Sir, ' WE have been accustomed to observe in silence, though not with indifference, those political occurrences which affeft the hnp pinefs and prosperity of our-country. The present eventful crisis, however, imposes on us a new duty, and we comply with its ob ligation with cheerfulnefs :n exprefiing to you, the firft officer of our government, those sentiments with which we are at pre feut actuated. We allure you, therefore, that we have cordially approved of the firm, yet temper ate system adopted by the Executive in its intercourse with the government of the French Republic. With anxious solicitude we have awaited the event of these overtures dictated by a spirt of dignified forbearance and condufted with the firmnefs of con scious integrity, which have been made with a view to an amicable adjuflment of the differences between the two countries. But, Sir, though we desired an adjullment upon terms compatible with the honor and dignity of the United States, upon those terms only we desired it, ai d we have seen, with inexpreflihle indignation, the infamous attempts which have been made upon the integrity of our govern ment, by threaten ing the peace and happiness of our country, unless preferred at the price, us national de gradation. With tlje virtuous spirit, therefore, of Republicans, we join, we trnft, the general voice, in rejecting with disdain the igno minious alternative ; resolved to preserve inviolate, at the facrince, if necessary, of property and life, the honor and indepen dence of our country, and to leave them unsullied, a sacred deposit with our pos terity. While a review of the measures of your adminiflratioti impresses us with a sense of your wisdom and firmnefs, it infpire3 us with a confidence that you will not surren der any of the rights of the nation, and that its interest and happiness will Hill continue , the objeft of your meritorious exertions. Resolved unanimoujly, That the foregoing nddrefs be signed by the Chairman and Se cretary, on behalf of this meeting, and forwarded to John Chapman and Samuel Sitgreaves, Efqwires, Representatives in Congress from this diftriit, to be by them prefetited to the President of the United States.

S 1 R, THE intereftmg crisis to which the Unit ed Sates are at lalt driven by the rSpacity, wickednefj, and ambition of the French 1 Government, tails loudly and explicitly up- I on us to unite in defence of our country ; and by displaying that unanimity o the worU, c to convince our enemies, that the people are i not d.vided from their Gsvernment. There remains not the doubt that their piojeft of plundering this part of the globe, is very much strengthened by the sal- ' llacious idea that the Executive ol the U it ed States hath contravened the wilhes and sentiments of the people at large in his inter course with foreign nations. To repel this falft and mischievous calum ny arfar as lies in our power, by bearing a , public and unequivocal teftimoney in favour of your Adminiftratio'i, and tfpecially in behalf of the !ate attempt to negociate a t eaty of peace with the French Nation, is both cur motive and apology for intruding on you with' this A jdrefs. If our situation has becone in any degree serious or alarming, Ve are highly gratified in the refle&iort it has not proceeded from any want of temperate and judicious mea sures, on your part to prevent it. The relative conduit of the United States and of France, at this eventful period, must, form a striking contrail, in the judgment of the candid and discerning part of mankind ; and history w ll hereafter be at a loss which to admire most, the impudent profligacy and exorbitant demands of the French, in order to plunge us into war, or the anxious and unremitted efforts of the United Sates to avoid it. While we thus express our un refcrved approbation of the conduit of the firft Magiflrale, we cannot omit the oppor tunity of declaring, that we have the most entire confidence in your wisdom, integrity, and political fortitude ; and that we trust, by the bleflings of Heaven, upon the Exccu tive and Legislative Councils of our country, 1 aided ty the patriotism of the People, we shall be enabled to support our independence, in defiance of an enemy, who not only spurns at ourtriiniileri of peace, but openly avows of an intention of compelling us to yield the lad Tie far'hin<> ; if in their boundless ambition they he fha!l ihi' k proper to ask t.
