It is matter of great concern to us, that an event l'o prejudicial to the public happiness, and so inconfillent with an enlightened attachment to liberty and law, (hould haveoccnrred in a Rate of which we are citizens, and which is so deeply intereded by its internal and local circumstances steadily to maintain public order.— Antid(bth«f« painful sensations, how ever, we beg leave to aflure the ho norable couit, that we have not failed to exercise our vigilance and zeal in making diligent enquiry of all Inch offences as may have been committed within our jurifdidiion ; and are hap py to affiire you that we have fofind none of the nature referred to in the proclamation of the President of the United' States ; whose upright and mild, but efficient adminilhation of conltitution and laws, we vßll ever strenuously support, both in our public and private capacities. We beg leave to request a copy of that part of your charge which re lates to the President's proclamation for publication, being fully imprefl'ed that the fentinients contained in ir, will meet the entire approbation of every good citizen. In behalf of the Grand Jury unanivioufiy, (Signed) JOHN BARRY, Foreman. Hon. Thos. M'Kean, Esq. Chief Justice of the State ps Pennsylvania, The proceedings of the National Aflembly and the Community of Pa ris, at the fame time that they dilplay great enthufiafin, exhibit such strong fyinptoms of apprehension as mult create dismay and alarm in the other parts of France, and increase the confidence of the enemy. Their de crees bear the molt evident marks of precipitancy and want of system, and seem to arise on the fpurof the occa sion, without previous arrangement or forefight. To oppose, with effect, so powerful a confederacy, as that which now invades France, theie fliould be a well organized system of defence,an energetic executive power, and a numerous and well disciplined army, acting under one head, and well (applied with arms,ammunition, clothing, forage, tents and other mi litary apparatus.
