When Talleyrand was in this city he was
introduced by Col. B . r, of New-York
to Mr. S——t the portrait painter, and af
ter some trifling conversation, the apoftnte
billioptook his leave, and while he was hob
bling down flairs Col. Balked Mr. S.
■what he thought of his friend, he replied,
" I think that if that man is not a damned
fcounarel God Almighty does not write a le
gible hand."
Mr- Ed iron,
RESPECTING the clofcofthe t3th
Century, there appears to be two opinions :
One that it is closed with the last day of
December 1709, the mom-Ut the firft of
January 1000 commences. The other opi
nion postpones it one year longer, or until
■the close of,the last day of December 1800.
li the firft opinion be true, 1799 years are
row elapsed,. and of cotfrf- we are in the
1800 th year of the Chrißian era. But in
looking into my Almanack of this year, I
find it is an " Almanack for the year 1799,"
■which does not elapse until the end of De
cember next.
And further, Mr. Printer, suppose those
wife men of the East, who cattle to Judea on
the birth of Chriftj and who no doubt were
astronomers, had fhortlv after made an Al
manack, and took the birth of Christ for
their era, would they not have.called their
Almanack for that period of time, Confiding
ef three hundred and fi*ty-five days, imme
diately succeeding the birth of Christ, and
for which their firft would be uvide, " An
Alnwmck for the year one" ; and would not
their feeond Almanack, commencing after
the expiration of 365 days from the birth
of Christ, be called " An Almanack for the
ylir two", or for the 2d year of Christ, al
though he would not have two years of
age until the end of the year two,—or, which
is the fame thing, two years would not have
elapsed from his birth until the end of the
year two ; and, by the fame reafori, 1800
years have elapsed until the end of
the year 1800, at which period the eighteenth
tentury clof^s.
The artificial division of time by time
pieces, makes nothing against the foregoing
statement; for we fay " twenty minutes past
ten", or as the cafe may be—Nor does the
division of (pace, although frequently men
tioned. The tnileftones on highways are
givrn a$ An illustration. We leave Phila
delphia for Lancaster—.we do not fee the
milestone marking " 1 mile fmnj Philadel
phia" until we have gone a mile, and im
n>' diately after we enter into the 2d mile,
lltbourh we do not fee the milestone marking
2 miles from Philadelphia" until we have
gene 2 miles. But let us reverse this state
ment, and suppose we are returning to Phila
delphia—then we fee the milestone and name
it before We have pasTed over the- space in
tended to be designated by it. The firft
mode is not purfuingthe order of nature—
As for example : I leave Philadelphia for
Lancaster—having gone to miles, I perceive
it marked oti the milestone. This gives me
so information how far 1 have to go, with
out being in pofTeffion of another idea, vfz
that Philadelphia is 62 miles from Lancafter
and then I can make the dedu&ion and af
oertain the distance.

interesting to our commercial metropolis, and
to the citizens of this common-wealth at large;
you are requeued to pubhlh the two last Pe
titions of the company, which led to the
hearing, and will be followed in due time,
with such other statements and explanations,
relative to the fubjeft, as may be found ne
celTary for more public information.
Tuesday, March stb, 1799.
To the Honorable the Senate of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
THE committee of the Delaware and
Schuylkill cznA company, appointed to attend
the legislature on the fubjeft of their memo
rial, praying for aid, &c. have been favored
with a copy of a resolve this day pafled by
the Honorable Senate in committee cf the
whole, viz.
Resolved, "That the duty on auctions
n the city of Philadelphia be granted to the
corporation of the said city for the term of
years, to be excldfively applied for
the purposes ot biinginga fuflicient <juanti«
ty of good and wholcfome water into the
Wets of Philadelphia and its suburbs, from
source, and in such manner, as the«faid
ecrpvration may think mod expeditious and
efleftitevy On which the following ob ler

to the City, in that great pohvt, which we
'it provided by mean.; of water, with-
■■
in the' fe : .v mc.nt'ns tjnj will 'meerven; Wo<'4
the a;>proach of ti.s hot aad uuhealthy fea
iir.. •
1 ft. The power, contemplated to he given
to the city, extenji to the stibi rbs alfbj be
yond their prefect-jurHiliiiion, and interferes
with theprior rights of the can<i' corporation
for watering bosh city 2nd suburbs ; upon
which object (as has been formerly stated) so
large a portion ef the can,d stock lias been ex
pended.
2d. The resolve proposes to veil power in
the corporation of the city to bring water
from any source, and in such manner as the)
may think most expeditious and effe&ual ;
which would include the waters embraced in
the charter privileges of the canal company ;
ana which, we believe wiw be allowed as the
only source for a permanent supply, and the
most expeditious, even for a temporary one,
in any degree adequate to the neceflity of
the cafe.
We are ceitain that the honorable senate
do not contemplate by any new lam to give
any other body of men a right in the canal
waters as a source, for watering the city,
which might procrastinate or even frustrate
public objetts, contemplated by I<JW in the
completion of the canal, or injure the com
pany in their franchifes, or the benefit of
their stock.
And we are persuaded also, that if tlie ci
ty corporation,fhould judge thtit any imme
diate or temporary relief can be drawn from
the canal as a source, thev will not seek for
it, without the tunsent of the company. But
if a on this head should prove unfuc
cefsful, as heretofore, it would tend only to
add to the procrastination, both of a tempo
rary and permanent supply of water to the
city, as well as of the completion of the ca
nal, for the benefit of the country at large*
We apprehend, then, upon the whole, that
the intercft of both, without making either
fide dependent on the other, will be most ef
fectually and expeditiously ccmpromifed and
promoted by the impartial hand of the Le-
I>,iflature, in separate bills, with separate
provisions ; as reported by the Committee of
the Senate.
This may be done, in fuhftance, rs Follows;
and, it is hoped, to mutual fatisfa&ion ; viz.
ift. That such portion of the dutv on
auftions as the Legislature may think proper,
be granted to the City Corporation, for tlie
express purpose of a supply of water to the
city, by such means as they may judge best
calculated to answer their prefeut exigencies.
ad. That three Conimiffioners be appoint
ed, on the part of the commonwealth, to
raise on loan, on the credit of the house in
tended for the Pre fide nt of the United States,
and the residue on the duty on au&ions, to
purchase (hares of the Stock of the
Delaware and Schuylkill Canal—or to com
plete the fame for the benefit of th? state, in
any way that may be thought best, if the
state should not chufe to be interested in
(hares. Thiis might all the interests of the
city and country, and of the state at large,
be concentered in one great work highly
honorable to the community. All which is
refpettfully submitted.
WILLIAM SANSOM, President.

monwealth of Pennsylvania.
THE MEMORIAL,
Of the Standing Committee of the Srocx-
KOIDERS and Manacxss of the Delaware
and Schuylkill Canal Company,
SHEWETH,
THAT fundiy Memorials, during
the present feflion of the legillature have
been presented by the Prelident and Manag
ers of the Delaware and SchuvlkUl Canal
Navigation, to the Senate and House of Re
presentatives, and have been referred to spe
cial committees of each house.
That, at a joint meeting of those com
mittees, and on an arrangement of tbe va
rious matters committed to them, it was
agreed to divide and separate the business, for
the greater expedition in framing reports j
so that all the memorials and documents pre
sented by the Canal company were- assigned
to the committee of the honorable Senate,
as well as the memorials and representations
of the Select and Common Councils, and
other public bodies of the city of Philadel.
phia ; which having in view a supply of wa
ter, for the benefit of the city, were con
iidered as in connexion with the completion
of the Canal, and the right.< of the compa
ny, as veftedby law, so* that important ier
vice.
That a report of the committee of the
Senate, was delivered and read on the i zth
of January last, appearing to be intended,
to reconcile all in terefts, refpefting the com
pletion of the Canal for the benefit of the
state at large, as well as the city in particu
lar ; whereby the aid of the Hate was con*
templated to become happily instrumental in
a speedy relief to the city, and the comple
tion of the Canal for all its permanent bene
fits, both to city and country.
That, in the spirit of this report, the Ca
nal company on the 19th of Jamil >-y pre
sented to the honorable Senate an addrefj,
fincc printed, stating their earnest.desire, to
labors, and the vast sums of money already
expended by them according to law, subser
vient to the public good, with the aid, and
under the patronage of the legislature.
That this address of the Canal company
was followed January 29th by the "commit
tees f wards for the city, the diftric.l of
Southwark and townfliip of the Northern
Liberties and Moyamenfiug, who being a
full representation recently appointed for the
city and suburbs aforclaid, unanimously
prayed,—That one moiety of the duties aris
ing on Sales at Auction be granted to the
city corporation, for a present supply of w*.

IT is now ascertained' who are to be the
candidates for the office of Governor at the
ensuing ele&.on. It is announced that, the
enemies of our adminiflratien, have fixed up
on Tkomas M'Kean, and it is well under
stood that its friends have determined to sup
port James Ross, Esquire, of Walhington.
In whatever light we consider this fubjeft,
• whether we view the "perlonal qualities of
the men, or their political principles, it is
alike evident that the iiTue of this contcft will
be more fruitful of important conferences
than any which has yet been known in Penn
sylvania. The taik of dil'playing the private
charatter of Mr. M-Kean, would be both
invidious and unneceflary. The bare recol
ledtiou of his public condudl will surely ren
der him fufficiently odious. It might, per
haps, be ufetul to trace his career from its
'commencement, to hold up to view his nu
merous apoftacies, and to endeavour to point
out their caules j to a(k wherefore he became
at one time a furious constitutionalist, and
soon after a violent republican , and to prove
that in the convention .which framed the
state constitution, heias ftrenuo'tifly advocated
a high-toned system of government, as he
how does the pure principles of democracy.
This would lead me, however, beyond the
circle which 1 have at present prescribed for
myfelf. It is well, however, to remark, that
in all his tergiversations the vindidtive in
tolerance of his nature, has been severely
felt and loudly complained again ft. We
have heard of a detestable robber of old, who
tneafured his captives by his own bed. If
they were too long for it, be amputated then)
—if too short, he flretched them to its
length. The parallel will not indeed entirely
hold between him and our Chief Justice ; for
the fame men whose joints have been racked
and dislocated to fit them to one measure of
his principles, have been afterwards unremit
tingly persecuted to bring them down to
another. Let us, however, for a moment
consider the consequences of fufferiuj? the
united activity and del'perate enterprise of
the profligate fidtion, which opposes our go
vernment to succeed on this occasion, I fay
the activity and enterprise of our autagonifts;
because a retrospective view of the politics
of Pennsylvania, unequivocally provci that
their numbers, wealth, and weight of cha
radier, bear no proportion to yours.
Pennsylvania, seated in the centre of the
United States, wealthy, populous, commer
cial and extenfiv* as it is, must, while the
present division os-sentiment fublifts between
the eastern and foutheru parts of our country,
dirett and govern its policy. Even if the
frantic and ungovernable ambition of our re
volutionists ihould produce a deftru&ion ot
the Union, the influence of Pennsylvania in
the scale of American consequence would be
immense. The two clalhmg inte.elts would
each make every exertion to engage her in its
: fav6r ; and ihe would become, 111 no fmali
I degree, the arbitrefs between them. The ef
fects then of the election of governor will
;be incalculable. The molt potent of any
in the Union inverted with the sole power of
appointment, with thy command cf our mil
itary force, with a negative upon the pro
ceedings of the .ligiuKure, his patronage,
when aided by t-he prevalence of party spirit
places him almost above controul. Concen
trating in his hands all the energies of the
state, how easy would it be for him to raise
the banner of oppolition to the federal ad
minillration ? Our militia maybe rendered
even more contemptible than it noW is, by
the appointment of the molt ignorant and
brutal -paupers in the community, in order
toenfvlrehim their support. Our judiciary
set in opposition to that of tlie general gov
ernment and by thele mear.s the whole state
turned into a filthy kennel of jacobinical de-

Senate if into a law will operate more
rjjariwuity tn the interest of the Cinal Stock
holders, and the public in gener il, than an
abfoiute repeal of the adt for incorporating
the company (if inch aft could be CQiiftitutU
onally repealed) sot although your memori
alists can have no ob jedlioit, but 011 the
contrary have exprefied their earned wish,
that the City corporation may be enabled to
make any experiment hj their power, for ob
taining a temporary supply of water, accord
ing to their original proportions, yet we
cannot but remonstrate against a grant of
)üblic money, to be applied to a permanent
work, comprehended within the charter
rights of the company, and which with the
like public encouragement, can be accom
plished, by means of the canal, to answer
every purpose, originally contemplated by
their incorporation.
Wherefore, upon the whole, if the hono
rable Senate ihould have any doubts concern
ing the confirmation of our charter rights,
as above stated ; we pray lc\ve to be heard
by counsel, in the hopes to (hew, —
