MR. Fenno,
Ir closed I firnd you a letter from tke
cotnmi'tte o: correspondence for Wafhing
tcn county, covering a certificate from a
number of the moll refpt&able gentlemen
1" that county, proving Mr. JAMES
of Pittfbargh's atta-hm«nt to the
Chn'fbin Religion, in contraciiElion to a
fa' e aud fcatidalons report propogated and
induftri, ufly circulated, by the friends £0
Mr. M K-a 'g cleftion, " that' Mr. Rofs is
an A'heUt, a Dcitt,'' tie. I have known
Mr. R is frjfm Ins youth, and his father
and friends of York connty, where he was
«nd a more religiou and virtuous la
milv is not to ba produc d. In my long
acquaintance with him, I have never heard
an irreligious or indeiicnte expression from

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WE tli« I'ubfcribers, regular members of
sundry Prefoyterian congregations jh tbc
fcuunty of Walhitigton, have heard with
surprise and regret, that among the many
flai.fleroos reports propagated against the
refpc&able charafter of James Rofs, Esq.
of rirtfburgh. who has been proposed to be
chofeu governor of Pennsylvania, one is
that he is a D i/i.
We trust that we have a firwwe regard
so truth and religion, and we feel ourfclves
bound by the duties we owe to both, so far
at our tellimony can go to remove from our
fellow citizen*, this i bftruSiou to the frte
txcrcife of our votes in favour of Mr. Rofs.
G"d forbid that we should aflift in placing in
fuels an important a station, a man defettive
in refpeft for religion. And we but obey
thedidta'ei of our own consciences in ma
king the following declaration of what we
knew of Mr. Rofs, from our own obferva
t-ion aid indubitaMe information.
Mr. Rofs was born of refpcdiable and
pioui parents, of the Prefcyterian churc'i in
I
York county in tliis slate, ind received f;otr.
; ihera a religous education. He is vvell in
ftrufled in the scriptures and the do&rines
of christianity as held by our church ; and
we are persuaded believes and refpefts
them. He lived long in this town, and long
er in this county, and Ve hare had good
opportunities of knowing bim. Where he
ha- lived, there has not been ai>y Hated
mmifter, and only occasional ftipplies for
public worlbip. But he has contributed to
the fopport of public worfh'p where he liv
ed, and attended it regularly and there is
nothing known to us to jitftify the imputa
tion that he is an infidel or deist, and we
think this imputation falfc and malicious.
In witness whereof we have hereto set out
hands.

THE SPEAKER'S SPEECH.
Addrcffed to the King, when on the throne,
on Friday lafl.
" Most Gracious Sovereign,
" Ih the name of the Commons of Great
Britain, in Pari ment aflembled, it is my
du y humbly to render to your majesty the
bills by which their grants are completed
for the public service of the year. The
magnitude of the supply, and the cheerful
) nefi with which it has been given, combined
with tiie flourifhing Hate of commerce and
ot the rev nue, an 1 with the mani citations
of zeal and public spirit which universally
prevail, mav juttly be considered as indica
tions, ihe most encoura ing and decisive, of
the abund nt and unimpaired resources of
the firiiifh empire, and of the unfhakeu
iirmnels of your faithful people. To rour
Commons, it is a fubjedl of pride and
fatisfaflion to refleft, lh.it in providing for
the exigency of the present conjuniture,
they been enabled to adopt a measure
which, though attended with facrifices un
preceden cli their amount, it eminently
calculated to ariminifter lupport to
publi cr.dit ; upon the depreciation and
expefltd failure of which, the enemy have
lc Bg been induced to found the vain hope
of d> llroying the liberties and independence
of tbcfe kingdoms. The conduct however,
of yo r Commons has rot bet.n influenced
by a li ited and partial view of the situation
and circumftancci, of this country, and of
the causes which operate upon its welfare
and security. They know that ias intcrefts
are closely connected with those of other
Hates ; a> d th y have according y confor
med to the principles of a found and enlar
ged policy, for affording to your maj fly
the mod ample mea«s of promoting and ■
afSlli g the exertions of those Powers ; '
who jullly estimating the danger with which
they arc tbreained, are convinced that »fa
tal aggrayatian of it would be the probable
: eoi f quence of compr< mife and fupinenefs ; :
and that to be fucctfsfully repelled it niuft ;
be opposed by such .efforts as will be fuffi
-1 cient to prove to the e>'Cmy tliat their fyf.
. tem as ambition ai d conqu ft is equally
I m farious and extravagant, and that its ob
ju&s are un ittainable.
" Your r Commors. fire, are derply fen.
iible of the importance of the stake for
which your msjcity is ftiH unavoidable con
tending, and of the duties which they are
bound to discharge. It is, they are per
suaded upon the w fdom and fortitude of
the British parliament, that under the fa.
vourofDiwmc Providence, must chiefly de
pend theii prcftrvation of whatever is tru
ly valuable in civil fuciety, and of all that
conftituut the happiness of private life.
Actuated by these sentiments, and relying
with perfeft co. fidence upoi. the justice and
moderation of your majesty's vfcws, your |
Commons have not hclitatcd tn continue to'
your majrfty that cordial and decided sup
port in »he profecmion o( the ctmtelt, which
can alone jultify the hope of concluding it
by a fafe and durable peace."
ult. wlien Moivau obtained an advantage
near Alexandria. Marlhal Suwarrow him
ft-lf tranfmtts "his crnt'ure. It is foppofed
that several cfficrrs will be calhicrll: the
blow is thought to be aimed at General Bel.
legrade, who has the character of ai> excel,
lent officer) but has likewil'e the reputation
of an intrigue)-: he is known to have coun
tenanced the discontents which have appear
ed against the plans of Suwarrow.
If we may credit lome ipeculators in this
country, not only are the French Republi.
can, l'pit into a variety of fefts, but even
the Rovalifls are divided in their sentiments
One party "is for putting on the Throne the
foil of the late Duke oi Orleans, others for
the Hereditary King. The most sanguine
friends to the reltoration of Monarchy, are
for cutting the kn.it of all these difficulties
with the l'word of Suwarrow.
It was a fortunate thing for this coun
try that nortejof the Continental Powers pre.
tended to interfere in our internal disputes
during the last century, or to rcllore the exi
led Royal FamHy. Had they made the at
tempt it would have in all probability uni
ted the various parties wlofe si lling out at
the end of the civil war rendered the Redo
ration easy, and thus would have retarded
if not finally prevented, the re-eTlablilhment
of monarchy. Wli n the Stuart family lean
ed, for support on the French and oth.rpowers
they totally extinguillied the hopes of their
cause.
St. Jian d'Acre was scarcely ever taken
without a long liege.. It ftopp-d the progress
of the Cruf.iders for upwards of two years,
and was taken from the Knights Templars
and Hofpitalln j, in 1790, after a liege which
lasted nearly a year.
