ly Of improper behavior (tiall happen 'in the galleries, it be a /landing rule of this H.ufe, that the Speaker or Chairman do or der the galleries to be immediately cleared without taking the opinion of the House or committee. An enrolled bill entitled an ast declaring the assent of Con Orel's 10 a certain ast of the State of Maryland, &c. was brought in'and ligned by the Speaker. The House proceeded in the trial oF the Georgia eleaion ■ after a few introduftoiy remarks, Mr. W. Smith moved the followitw refolution,viz. That Anthony Wayne was not duly elected a member of this House.— This relolution was unauimoufly agreed to, Ayes fifty-eight. ° Mr. Smith then moved another resolution, viz. That a cerii fied copy of .he vote just patted (hould be Iranfmitted by the Speaker to tbe Supreme Executive of the State of Georgia This motion, alter confutable debate, was by general consent, Jaid on the tabic,nil Monday. The Houll- took into conlideration the report of the committee of conference on the bill to regulate the claims to half pav and in valid pensions, and agreed to fa.d report, in confluence ol V'hich the bill is palled. The amendments of the S;nate to the Representation bill were read, and laid on the table. The principal amendments are an encreale ot the Representation to 120 members ; and afllgning ad duional members to those States which have th • larked fractional numbers on the apportionment of one Reprcfentative to ever, 3 o thousand persons, and expunging the fidl ion which provides ior a lecond enumeration. The report of the feleft committee, to whom was referred the report of the Secretary of the Treafurv, on the pet itiou of Comfort Sands and others, was taken into cdnfideration ; after confidcrable debate, the House, without taking a vote, adjourned till to-mor row. BOSTON, February 22. LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Feb. 24. A lingular letter was presented by Amos Butterick, a Shaker praying that government would receive bark the fecunties &c' ■which had been granted him, as a pension for the loss of an eye in the iervice; declaring, at the fame time, that he could not confei entioirfly keep it, nor receive any gratuity ; which was read and committed to the hon. Mr. Hofmer, Dr. Euftis.and Mr.Johiifon— who reported, that the applicant have leave to depofif.tie money &c. in the treasury, and that it be fafely kept for him. • There is 2 seasoning in wit, frequently to be found in the most simple expreflion. On Wedncfday, a young pirl asked, what ihe firing and ringing were for ? For Gen.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. TPHE attemp(|jof the persons in the gallery on ■A TlNirfday last, to manifeft their approba tion of what was doing in the House of Repre sentatives of the United Stares, by clapping their hands, was too suddenly checked by the marks of severe displeasure which appeared on the part of the House. It :night be said, with more truth, by a part of the Houfe—for proper exceptions are always to be made. But why fliould not the House fuffer the people to express their sense ? They represent the people it is true—that, how ever, is in the quality of substitutes for those who cannot attend in pofon. Those of the people who are prefeijt in the gallery, represent them selves 5 and with the members, atSing as attor nies to those who are absent, the whole is repre sented. And so things go as merrily as at an horse-race, by Ihoating and clapping of hands. Who will not prefer this mode of doing business u C j C ou '' s t " le gallery in conjunction, to the dull nutcracking, apple-pairing, drowsy hum of their ordinary proceedings ?—We talk oftlie ienfe of the people. But this, on the old plan, Js mere t,alk : by the addition of the gallery, the advantage is doubled—we have two senses—at lead we have added besides the sense. The sense of the people exprefled at a distance, gets cold before it reaches Congress. But if ongrefi can be made to do as the gallery woi)ld* have them, it seems clear that they will be made to obey the sense of the people. This, it is true, would throw a burden on the flioulders of the people of this city. But, fSr the fake of their diltairt fellow-eitizens, they ought not to refute, especially as it would give those whom they t>b- Jg e great pleafnre and fatisfa*fiion,'and increase I the confidence reposed in Copgrefs. Nay, if the 1 rant iVates fhdiild happen to negle<ft chufing members, or they fhpuld negle<si to attend, things Would gdon iwitnhlingly notwithstanding. The gallery would fep to them. The Senate keeps its doors ftiut,,„ and seems to believe that a dell eiative aflembly may deliberate without a gal y* It seems easy to prove the very contrary. - Sal'ery may goyerri very well without an af lembly.

' ExtraH of a letter from a gentleman, dated PojlVincer.nes. January 4 th, 1792, to his friend in Montgomery county, Pennfyivania. " When we entered the Ouabaclie river it was lull of floating ice, Major Hamtramck with whom I came, had about 5 o men : we had 170 miles to ascend the river in this situation, and we had but ten days provision. About 200 Pyankefhaw Indians, who had beard of the defeat of the army, and that their prisoners were hanged at Fort-Waftiington, fell in with us; wfc happened fortu nately to have two Indians with us who had been up to Fort- Walhington' to fee their friends, who were taken by Gen. Scott and Gen. Wilkinfon ; these two informed their brethren, that their prisoners had not been hanged, as had been told them', but were well treated—this pleased them. But still we apprehended they might wilh to take some prisoners which they could offer in exchange for their wives and childrcq, and there were three or jour of them for one of us. To account for it, I cannot, but the fa a is, they were very kind to us, gave us plenty of frefh meat, and all the afliftance they could in coining up.
