conduced, '*s not tfe infraft the coalitions
on which the old troops now in fervicc were
enlisted. %'
The aft which authorises to raise the
twelve regiments of infantry, and fix
troops of dragoons, provides, that they
shall be kept in service during the con
tinuance of the existing differences be
tween the United States and the French
Republic, if not sooner discharged. Upon
the dilbanding of these troops, it is to be
prrfumed by far the greatest number of both
officers and men will find themselves at a
considerable distance from their homes. The
faino thing also happens to officers on the
establishment, whose age or time of life, or
foanty fortune, doe. not admit their enntinu
ance in the army, as well as to privates
serving on the frontiers, whose engagements
are successively expiring. These all have,
or mil have to travel to their refpeftive
places of residence, at their own expence, if
110 provision is made by Congress to meet
the cafe. This to nvany of them, must be,
and is an extreme hardship ; efpeciallv when
it is cbnfidered, that the profeffion of arms,
however important to the country, and noble
in itfelf, is so far from furnifhing to the of
ficers, even of the hi »■ heft grades, the means
of making a tolerable jjrovifion out of the
iavings of their pay, for the future support
of themselves and families in advanced old
age, pr when their services maybe dispensed
"with by the public, that it requires them to
observe the; greatest ceconomy to be able to
proceed in their career,J and defray the ex
pence of their neceflary wants.
In the English service, the officer, when
dilbinded, receives half pay; the private
soldier in the cavalry has his horse, and an
allowance for his sword, with fourteen days
pay to carry him home :—the infantry have
likewjfe fourteen days' pay granted them for
the fame purpose.
It is refpeftfully suggested whethe' it
would not comport with juflice. anil have u.
tendency to encourage men to enter in the
army, if a provision was mide for an allow
ance to each officer and soldier, on quitting
the service, or being disbanded, equivalent to
the expence he must incur in returning
home.
The adl authorising the Prudent of the
United States to raise a provisional army, is
too important to the peace and fafetyof t'ie
union, not to require from Congress such a
matured rcvifion as may render it effe&ual
to the purposes for which it was framed.
The firft feftion, by which the President
was vested with the power to raise ten thou
sand troops, has expired by its own limita
tion.
It is conceived advifeable, and founded on
the soundest policy, that the power to raise.
such troops as are contemplated by this
clause, should be exterded at least to twenty
thousand. To be on fafe ground, our pre
parations and supplies ought to contemplate
an army of fifty thousand men.
The aft in question contemplates also an
auxiliary force, under the denomination of
volunteer companies, who (hall be armed,
cloathed, and equipped at their £wn expence.
It i- fc:-Wy mtnmon, that ftfT
ficent cadence has appeared, that the patri
otism of onr independent citizens will not
(hrink from this measure of defence ; the
number of volunteer companies which have
offered their f«rvices being already consider
able.
As it may be questioned, whether the aft
enables the President to appoint all appropri
ate officers to these companies when organized
into regiments', brigades and divisions ; it is
desirable that such power* (hould be expressly
given.
A fpecific provision for the pay and rations
to volunteers during the days it may be ne
cessary to aflemble them in bodies in each
£tar for the purpose of general discipline and
manoeuvres, would be very beneficial.
To form effedtive soldiers at this moment,
and at so light an expence to. the public, must
be looked upon as an objeft of great nation
al cqncern, especially when we take into
view the difficulty of getting men, in time
of aftual war.
The value of those patriotic bands of vo
lunteers, who destine themselves to the front
or'dai ger, is inapp.-tciable. If welt inftruc
ted ind difc:plfnea they wilt, in the event of
sudden invafiop be of immense utility and '
importance—B. fides the direst effefts of '
their exertions in refitting the enemy, till '
they can be succoured by the regular force,
if at a distance, the militia, rallying to them, '
would derive from their example and coun
tenance, additional courage and Jsrefervance. '
They would, thus disciplined, and aided £
by the regular force, tho'fmall give a con- J
fiftency and liability to our firft efforts, of 1
which these would otherwise be deltitute
and would tend powerfully to prevent, great, 1
tho' perhapis partial calamities. f
It is impoffibte to contemplate the du
ties of the office of infpe&or-geueral, with- 3
out perceiving, that their due discharge will '
require the exercise of extraordinary (kill
and labour, and that the existing law align
ed no compensation whatever for the exer- *
cife of this (kill and labou'.
In the cafs of officers taken from the
line to perform the fpecific duties of affift
vmt infpeftor>, quarter-masters, &c. we find
the law has made a fpecific allowance. The
principle applies, and with augmented force,
to the infpfftor-general, who has not only -
to create regulations,but to their
execution, in addition to his duties at a gen
eral officer.
To discharge with effeft, the duties of
his offic-e, he must take frequent journies
from one part of the army to another, when
it is encamped in different-and distant pla
ces. It must be conceived, that the expen
ces of such journies must quickly eat out
the narrow allowance or" a major general, ir
If filled by a man of talents, without a for ""
tune to meet such expenc«s, he must either
compromit his reputation, and that of the c .
government, by not producing the results to el
expefted from his department, or he r c
■ujft ruin himfelf in performing services for
is precedent . fLft war eftafclirtves the pro
i'e priety of an extra allowance For the extra
(ervices and expences of this officer; and
le it would be, infinitely more frceable and
x less embarraffiivg to the department of war,
y that the latter, or his expences on jcrtirnies
l- from one part of the army to another, Ihould
e- be fettled by a fixed alio wancc bylaw, in
;h (lead of being chat-gable to the contingen
>n cies of the war department. A further ar
)e rangement is ncceffary to gve full effeft to
:h infpeftor general's department. During
a our war with Great-Britain, this offieer was
ie allowed secretaries, in addition to his aids
ie as major-gen. It is thought that one fecre-
W" tary to the present officer is indifp-nlable.
■>- It it proper, before closing this reference,
:s to mention a circumllance intimately con.
ts nested with our military system. Owing
f > to the iHcreafe of the naval and military ef
re tablifhments, the of purveyor of
it public supplies, has been so augmented as to
;t require for the war department alone, the
■i exclusive and uninterrupted services of luch
n au officer.
» Is seems ta be improper, that the head of
e the war department (hould be ebliged to
employ hisnfelf in any other manner in the
5 bufi Jiffs of purveyor, than merely to make
e requisitions for articles wanted; to prescribe
the quantifies, the times and places of de
livery ; ai d that the whole responsibility for
the execution of the order should reft upon
° the purveyor. A Secretary of War, will
always find ample employment in the gene
ral fuperintendance and direftions of the
n f ta ' operations of hia department ;if
a portion of his time is to be occupied in
| the details of 1 ffcr concerns, it is morally
certain, that the greater mud langnifh or
futfer.
f Besides these duties the purveyor (hould
he charged exclusively with the disposing of
all returns from the Indian faftories, corref
pondinjr with these* keeping all accounts,
and conducing all concerns to them
under the direftion of the Secretary.
y He might also be the agent and organ to
» procure the means of transportation for all
' supplies sent from the feat of government
5 or elsewhere, to the army, agen sor quat
; ter-mafters, to arsenals and distant places of
~ deposit.
s The Secretary takes leave to recapitulate,
4 for the purpose of presenting, in a concise
j view, the propositions, refpeftfully recom
mended to attention, by the foregoing ob
t serrations.
ist. A new modification of the militarv,

15 tb. A specific provision for tbe appoint-
ment of appropriate officers jfor tbe volunteer
companies, that are or may be accepted, when ,
formed into regiments, brigades or divisions ; r
and for pay and rations to such volunteers,
for those days in every year, it may be neces- ,
sary to assemble them in bodies, for the pur- f.
poses of dieipline and training.
16 tb. A further provision for tbe extra 1
services and expences of tbe inspector-gene- !

Pennsylvania Legislature.
The committee appointed to preparte
fpecific charges again (I Benjamin Brannon,
Esquire, one of the Judges of the Court ef
Common Picas of Delaware county, made
report, which was read, as follows, viz.
I ft. That the aforefaid Benjamin Bran
non, contrary to the duties of his office, en
deavoured to prevent a certain Isaac Davis
from being punished, whom he knew had
robbed the Bank of Pennsylvania.
2d. That on the 21ft of November last,
Jonathan Smith, Esquire, Cashier of the
Bank of Pennsylvania. f cn t a bond and war
rant of attorney to Isaac Davis, to be execu
ted by him, in favour of the President and
Direftors of the Bank of Pennsylvania, for
the sum of three 'houfand dollars, they ha
ving received of the said Isaac Davis all t<*
money, of which the Bank had been robbed,
except the aforefaid three thoufa:;d dollars.'
That on the said 2ill of November, the
said Benjamin Brannon, came to the Cashier
of the Bank with the aforefaid bond, unex
ecuted, and wifred to be informed of the
circumstances of the robbery, and of the re
turn of a part of the money ; and after ha
ving been informed l-y the Cashier, and the
Cashier, also having stated to him that the (
Prcfidtnt and Diretfors of thg Bank, before 1
they could prevail on Davis to acknowledge !
the robbery and return the money, were ob
liged to promise him, that, if he retui ned 1
the whole of the money, they would inter- <
fere for his pardon ; and also having stated 1
that it was just and proper that Davis's pro- t
perty ftiould fee bound for the payment of
the remainder of the money, the said Benja- s
min said he would fee Davis on the fubje&. [
That on the f.u'd 21ft of November, Ben- ]
jamin Bronnoß wrote a bond and warrant t
of attorney for Isaac Davis to execute in fa- a
vour of Mary Davis, his mother, for the sum j
of twelve hundred dollars, which sum was c
more than fufficient to cover all the proper- f
ty belonging to Isaac Davis ; and that on 1
the 23d of the fame month, the said Benja- t
min Brannon went, in perfou, to Cheftcr, \
and had judgment entered uponthefaidbond. <i
That the laid Benjamin Brannon called 1;
fevcral times on the Cashier of the Bank, be- t
tween the zift of November and the 24th
of the said month, and imprcfled a belief on
the mind of the Cashier, that Isaac Davis n
would tell who made the picks and key 3, v
and at one of the times said that he had seen a
Davis, and thought he would get Davij to 4
execute the aforefaid bond, in favour of the n
Bank, if it would operate as his compleat 1
discharge. « r
'1 hat on the 24th of the fame moßth, the
said Benjamin Brannon called again on the (
Cashier of the Bank with aforefaid bona b
executed in fatfjur of the Bank, and said he u
was ready 10 deliver it, on condition that
- Davis's pardon fhonld be obuiiitd. In this
oai ■ icular the/aid Benjamin Brannon maiv
feltly designed to deceive and defraud ihtPre
fid;nt anj Direflors of the Bank, knowing
that lis.had previoufiy. got a judgment en
ter' d agaiiifl Isaac Davis. in. favou-r of, h)6
Brother, fufficieut to take all Davis's proper
ly ai d without ■ iving the least intimation
of this circumstance. to the Cashier. .The
Cashier did , not accept of the bond, and
when, on, a subsequent day. the Cashier in
formed the said Benjamin Brannon that he
had discovered that a judgment was entered
agairift Ifaao Davis in favour of his mother,
he replied, that he knew nothing of that!
bond until it was handed to him, although,
at the tame time, he knew it was written by
himfelf.
1 hat the said Benjamin Brannon has fre
quently said that he did not fee Isaac Davis
at any time after the robbery, until the 24th |
of November,, although he acknowledged to
the Cashier that he had seen him previous to
the 24th of November last, and although
Isaac Davis acknowledged a power of attor-
P ney to his mother, before the said Benjamin
c Brannon, on the 21ft of November.
11 Resolved,. that a Committee be appointed
° to prepare an Address to the Governor, for
the removal of Benjamin Brannon, Esq. from
