G^nticrrncm, Ha vino - in our co-Terence, at eonfi derable length itateilto you the grounds | of that discontent which exiP.s in the j minds of the people of this country, j 2nd which Lias lately fhevvn ltfelf in j of opposition to the excite law, you will contider us as waving any queltion with regard to the nature of those a£ts, whe ther, treasonable, or amounting only to riot and breach of the peace ; of course a-t waving the queltion of the conttitu tEonal power of the President to call up on the force of the Union to fupprefe them. It is our object as it is youis to compose the disturbance. We are fatisfied that in fnbilanceyou luwe gone as far as we could cxpeft the . Executive to go. It only remains to ] ascertain your propp lit ions more in de- j tail, and to fay, what arrangements it may be in your power tc* make with re gard to convenience in colledting the revenue under the excise laws ; how far it may be confident with the public in terefl: to prevent commencing prosecu tions under those laws at a distance from the places where the delinquents relide; on what condition or cireum itance prosecutions for t'ie late violation of the laws lhall be fuipeuded ; that is to fay whether ok the individual keeping the peace, or on its being kept by the country in general; and alio with re gard to the general amnesty, whether the claiming the benefit of it by an indi vidual (hall depend on his own future conduit, or that of the whole commu nity. We have already dated to you in con ference that we are empowered to give you ho definitive answer with regard to the feufe of the people on the great qu?(lion of acceding to the law ; but that in our opinion, it is the interell ot the country to accede; and that we (hall make this report to the committee to whom we are to report, and state to ' them the reasons of our opinion, that so far as they may appenr to have weight they may be regarded by them. It will be our endeavor to conciliate, not only them, but the public mind in general to ou' - sense on this fubjeft. For this jwrpofe we hope to be affilted by you x in giving all that extent and preciiion, clearness and certainty to your proposi tions as may fatisfy the underftaudings and engage the aequielccnce of the peo- pie. It is to be undetflpod that in acced ing to the law, no inference is to be drawn, or conftruttion made that we will relinquiflia constitutional opposition, but that we will invariably, undeviating ly and constantly pursue every legal means and measure of übtaiuing a repeal of the law in question. As we are dilpofed with you to have the sense of the people taken on the f .Ujeft of our conference as speedily as may be, with that view we have resolv ed to call the committee to whom our report is to be made, at an earlier day than had been appointed, to wit, to meet on Thursday the 28th inft. but have not thought ourfelvcs juftifiable in changing the place, to wit, <)t Red ftone Old Fort on the Monongahela.

The Committee to make weekly re ports of the deaths and Hate of licknef* in this city, Certify, That the following deaths have taken place since the date of their last publication, viz.

As the Committee consider their ho nor concerned in the faithftilnefsof their j reports, they have frit a degree of m:>r- j tification to hear that the truth of their j certificates, have, in some instances, been scrupled ; and as they are convinced that a uniform relation of the firrrple truth, is the heft mode of corredting the errors of vagiie and unguarded ru mours, they have only to allure the pub lic, That in preparing their reports of deaths, their own recollection has always been corrected by the books of the Sexton ; and they are confident that not a fmgle death in the city has efcap -1 ed their notice. They are happy further to certify, that the Scarlet Fever, which was the prevailing epidemic at the time they began their reports, is now, they hope, nearly extiniS ; they do not know of a single patient sick of that d;feale it* the city. They furthir certify, that they haife flattering profpefts of a speedy termina tion of- the Putrid Fever ; several who were f:ck of it at the date of their last publication, have since recovered ; and only one hau died j we know of but three persons who are hard sick at this time* and four eonvalefcents, fbme of whom have had the disease very fererely. Th'ey also certify, That no person is now f.ck of that disease in any part of the city weft of the Creek, dividing the old from the new Town/hip, nor on Ihe wharf or its vicinity, where the dffeaCf began.
