to deny and controvert it.
I cannot leave this fubjedt, Gentlemen, without,
recommending to your Confidtftatipn the expediency
of adopting a permanent and general plan for the
defence of our fror-iers, at lealt during the continu
ance of the Indian war. The detachment which was
formed to pro'c-Tf the csmmiffion'-r«, in laying out
the town at Prefqo'lSe, has eftablilhed for its lecuri
ty a fortified pod at f e 3ceuf, the pjacj which it had
reached when itsm'ircb was interrupted. Conned d
with that important station, are bveral points of de
fence, from the weft branch of Sufrjuehanna, on tie
one hand, and from t'ittfburgh, on the other,
being feafouably and effeitu.iliy occupied will, in ,m>
•pinton, be the the means ot producing the mod fa.
lutary effeits npon the genera! pperation ot the war,
condu&ed under the autliority of the United -States,
at the ia'Ti - lime that it will afford fafety to the ex
poled inhabitants of tflt: Frontiers, give encour. ge
znent for forming on the cradts of
uncultivated land, and iniure a reduction ot the hea
vy eauence incurred Ly those casual and frequent
dralits from the nrlitia, which the cxigenciis of the
c >u r i:ry have hitherto rendered unavoiiiable.
The necuffary Imitation of the present fefiibn,
and the flriii attention, which, I am peifuaded, you
will be difpoltu to devote to its immediate objedl,
forbid my introducing a;iy bufinefj, that does not
Kidifpeufably recjiiire your legillat
are, however, a few fubje&e, wh . .
iiilormation, it would be improper to omit.
Among these, gentlemen, permit me to state,
the intelligence which has been received of the pre- j
valence of malignant and contagious diseases in the i
illands of the Weft Indies, in New-Orleans, and ;
the Spanrffc Main, and also in New Haven, in the ;
state of Conne&icut, rendered it expedient to issue !
the Proclamations, directed in such cases by tlie
law, for enjaining the performance of a real'onable
quarantine, upon all veffeis thatfhould arrive from
any of theinfe&ed peaces. Tho' the recolleifion of the
awful iccrie that lately occurred, excites a general
foltcitude, the public health has hitherto exilted, in
a degree of perfection, seldom enjoyed at this l'ea
fon of the year; and its preservation from allexternal
in jury,may be confidently expected fronj the new fyf
the health-office, and tire vigilance of
the officers. It appears, however, from the report
cf the inlpe&ors, that in performing several essen
tial di ties, and in ere&ing or altering the buildings
on Starae-Iflaud, for the indispensable uses of the de
partment, a debt has been incurred, for which the
law has, uo otherwise provided, than by charging it
on the contingent, precarious, and, at prelent, unpro
ductive fund, of penalties and forfeitures. Judice
fecms therefore to recommend, that more certain
means of payment ihould be speedily appropriated,

measures have besn taken by the federal govern
ment to fortify tVe harbor of Philadelphia; incon
fequeucc of which considerable turns havg been dif
bmfed, and great alterations have b«en made at the
Fort upon Mud-Island, according to a plan which
will be fubmicted to your iiifpeclion. I have foun
it abvifeable to diredl a quantity of hewn flone,
which, on this occasion, has been removed, as
useless, from the Fort, to be fold for the public emo
lument : but, if (as it is, perhaps, contemplated
the and jurifdiition of a place, so impor

ol the fa!e of a greater quantity of land than remains
the property of the I'ublic. The Adt which was

treasure should be fuffercd to lie inactive, du
ring the considerable period that frequently

ments that certainly require attention and a
mendment.
Gentlemen of the Houje of Reprefentafives,
The officers of accoutswill exhibit to you
the ordinary objects that require a pecuniary
appropriation, and ihe amount of the Conti
nental and State bills of credit that are collect'
ed in the Treasury.— But, in the present state
of our finances, I am induced fuitker to re
commend to your attention, the propriety of
discharging the loan of 20,0001. which was
obtained in the year 1791, from rhc Bank of
North America, upon a mortgage of theduty
irwpoftxl upon sales at au&ion, a fund that has
hardly produced enough to pay the iatereftof
the loan.
With rcfpcifl to the appropriations, which
the prifsnt exigency of our affairs will require,
I am confident that, guided by the rrinciple*
of true policy, you will not emharrafs the
prosecution of ohjedls upon which the evid
ence of otir government lnay ct > nd, by a
rgo ons and tnfVafonable parsimony. Re
garding the end as worth our attainment,you
will not wirhold the nocelTary means.: and 1
think you tray br a'Tuivd, that whatever you
shall grant for the public fervid?, will be e»
pended with • conomy and fidelity.
Gentlefnsn of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the House of Reprefcntati'ves,
In the close of fhefe communications, you
will receive, with a generous" and patriotic
fatisfa<stion, an intimation, that th« judicious
exercifc of the powers entriifted to the weft
cm Commiflioners has, at length, opened in
that quarter a '.jrofoeA of Returning harmony
and order. Let not the preparations to
maintain, at all events, the authority of the
laws, be suspended 01* omicted—but, while
the occasions for domestic unanimity seem
to multiply, we may surely cherish, as a fair
and honorable source of consolation, the
dawning hope, that the prefenc concumon
will teririnite in the triumph of viftue r.nd
reason. On ourlelves it wJU be the high
encomium - t> our enemies it will be the
severest difa —tfyit developing, ill
ev ry political, v ciiTitude, the peculiar mer
gers of a Republican system, our citifcens
have requifed no other rule of obedience
than the recoil (^ion of their interefl arui

*• The mad com'nit of the insurgents

man to dilcouiage them.—lt appears
the Society in Philadelphia were alarm
ed, and after some veiy f:ily resolves by
way of preface, disapproved of the con
duit at Pittftnirgh—l am told that the
Society here, which at fit (I had some
few men of common sense in it, is de
serted by all excepting two or three
who want to obtain an election.
It is now so despicable, nothing is
said about it, and probably will loon
ceafe.—lf the government of Pennsyl
vania adts with any spirit, the Insurgents
will soon kils thejod. However lam
not sure it may not be for the national
good, if the federal government (hould
be under the necessity of fending an
army to enforce the laws—it might
teach some wrong heads in Congress
and others, the necessity of Supporting
a Heady, firm government.
The infuirection in this State pro
duced many good effedts—we will hope
the evil of the Infuvgency in Pennsyl
vania may do the fame.
We are folicitotis to learn the success
of Mr. Jay's mtfiiofi ; the naval vi&ory
of the English being more than coun
terbalanced by favorable events to the
French, we hope the pride of the Bri
tish may yet be humbled so far as to
do us juttice."
