John Hknky is r«-ele<sted a Senator of tin United States, by the Le jjiflature of Maryland. Benjamin Edwards Esq. is eledled a memb«r of the House of ReprefentativeJ of the United States, for the State of Ma ryland, in the room of Gun. Uriah Forreft, Ttfigned. Says a Correspondent, Our anarchists whose success depends on concealing their true character difiike the title antifederalift. They fay we are all federal party names and diftindlions should be dropped. The very fame f men with the impudence that suits their want of principles, and the inconfifteney that might be expected from their fuperficial knowledge, claim the title of republican, as the diiinflion of their party; as if the friends of a republican government whom they Dander and oppose were not republi cans. If they will give party names, let them patiently wear their owu. They chose it in 1787 and 1788, why because the people are federal should they jhrink from it now ? In fevers! factious newfp3pers, no moderate share of impudence has been exerted in vain to diilinguifh the fac tion by the pretty title of the Republi cans. The Republican interest See. &c. But it would not anfvver. Who are the mock Republicans ? The whiskey men, and the members in a certain aflembly, whose fpecches and thirteen letters and whispers of calumny a_nd falfehood at the elections inflamed the whiskey men and gave them pretences for mifchief. Now it may be Republican for a par ty who are in the United States, about 5,000 to five millions, to meet, and resolve the laws odious, and then tram ple them under foot. It may be Re publican for the leaders of the party to make speeches, which stir lip such ex cefTes. But if this is Republicanism, it is of a new and most abominable fort, from which and the profefTors of it, (jCod Lord deliver us—and we {hall be deliver when the people attend their elections, and Most of the antifederal newspapers in the United States seem to be (ilent, or merely to whisper faintly the old ac cusations againfl Government. The Boston Chronicle has long been remark able for perseverance as well as hardi hood. Mr. Genet was given lip here by (lis friends, and his accufeis had nearly dropt the mention of his name and his excefies. The Chronicle wri ters however still fought for him. They laviihed praises upon his spirit and te publicanifm as if such cordials could raise a dead man. Either the orders from here miTcarried or the subs at Boston mistook their tenor and mean ing. Here the vent of incendiary ca umny has been fliut, becauf« the licen tioufnefs tl'at difg>scei the newspapers fo.nc time ago would ftiengthen the prevailing opiniea that such things fo mented the infurrettion. But the Chro nicle writers go on to vindicate them selves and their party from the charge of sedition with a spirit worthy of the whiskey cause. Some mea»s ought to be fallen upon to prevent theinfurgent printers *t a dsltance from marring the designs of fa&ion and anarchy, at they seem to be so much behind hand in their politics, they never fail to disgrace their party more than the Government. Could they not correspond by the Tel legraphe i Extra# of a letter from a merchant much reipedfced for good sense and patriotism, in an Eastern State, to his Friend in this City. " I find it is the general opinion that no vote of Congrefa against felf-crcated focie t:es could bare been more damning to men* that have one particle of feeling, than the opprobrium thrown upon them in the hcufe. The contempt with which mem bers of this society are viewed by every one who has the lealt pretension to charac ter or patriotism can/zot be encreafed ; and *0 human consideration will foften this fentinaent, unless a degree of pity ihould be excited for the fate of those few who have so far out-run the great body of their fellow-citizens as to have reached the goal of moral and political infamy before the many who have only come in fight of it. Lad evening arrived the brig Mary, Capt. Fleming, from Bourdeaux, which (he left the 19th of Odober, Captain Fleming was at Paris the 7th at which time every thing was tranquil—the people highly elated with the success of their armies, and of their cruzing (hips who take an amazing number of prizes. Provisions were in great plenty, and r.ot so high as might be expe&ed. Two divisions of waggons, loaded with treafurc, under ah efeort of dragoons, arrived at Paris while he was there. The Brest fleet was still in Port. By this arrival Paris papers to the 12th and Bourtleaux papers to the 18th o<fl. are received; among other important arti cles of information which they contain, it appears that the city of Cologne with an immense quantity of property & the finelt arsenal in the world have fallen into poflef- Gon of the French—and the allied army afteraferiesoffurtherdefeatshadbeencom pelled to pass the Rhine.—This account is contained in a letter from the Repre sentative with the army Gillet which was read in the Convention. CONGRESS. HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, December 22, 1794. After reading and referring a number of petitions to the committee of claims, the House took up the transfer bill, founded 011 the resolution moved by Mi. B. Bourn ; which was read a fe cotid time and ordered to be engrofled. The hoiife then went into a commit tee of the whole on the bill providing an uniform system of naturalization, Mr. Cobb in the chair. An amendment was moved by Mr. Giles, on the fubjeft of expatriation, the substance of which is, that persons who have, or may expa triate themselves from any state, shall not be reftorrd to citizenship without a fpectal aft of the lrgiflature of the state from which they expatriated themselves. Mr. Tracy moved an addition to thii a mendment; which provides that an aft of the general government /hall be also necessary to their restoration. This *- meifdment gave rife to a debate. Mr. Giles finally withdrew his amend ment. The Committee reported progrtfs PI SCATAQU A-B RIDGE, Leading' from Newington over Pifcata que-Riverto Durham, is now paflable, and in a few days will be compleately finifhed—lts diitance from Portfmonth is seven miles—from Dover four ;— The River which it crosses is of a great depth—in moll places about fifty-two feet at high-water; the whole length of the Bridge, is 2362 feet—width 38. This piece of Archite&ure has been under the management of THOMAS THOMPSON and JOHN PEI RCE, Esquires—Agents appointed by the Dire£iors—lt confifls of twj principal parts—tht firft is a Pile Bridge, carried from Newington shore to Rock-lfland ; the second is an Arch, from Rock Is land to Goat-Island j the third from Goat-Island' to Durham shore; is si milar to the firft, supported on piles of great length ; from fifty-five to fucty three feet, driven into the bed of the river by large hammers, of oak-timber, braced and framed on a new and im- AMEN. proved plan. Mr. ENOS WHITING of Norwich, in Conne&icut, has had the fuperintendance of the pile work, which is finifhed in a strong and work man-like manner. He has also con ftruftcd a draw for the pa flag e of (hip ping, which moves across in » hor^o.i sal direction, infteari of being raised on hinges ; but it is feared this expe&ed improvement will not answer the pur pose. The Arch isfupported on two Abut merit—the one on Rock-Illand, the other on Goat-Island—the Chcrd of this Arch, between the two Abutments, whire the water pafTcs, is two hundred and forty four feet, fix irches in length, it is composed of three Tier Girders or Arches-—the Crown of the lower one next to the water, is Gxteen feet from the Chord, and twenty feet from high water.—The fccoud tier supports the planking on which the road p<ifl'e6— which is on a larger circle to facilitate the travelling. The third tier or cap pieces, forms the top railing of the bridge, which is ornament ed-—The length, of the areh being mueh greater than there was any fatisfadlory account of—appeared at firft a very formidable difficulty, but its prefect great strength and firmnefs is equal to the mod sanguine expe&ation, and fuf ficient to answer every purpose. Mr. Timothy Palmer of Newbury Port, in Maflachufetts, was the Archi te£l who contrived and presented the model on a plan entirely new, and un der wtiofe sole directions this accurate and beautiful piece of mechanism was ex ecuted. The model of Merimac Bridge was bad from the fame person, who from his knowledge of the theory and practical part of this fort of mecha nics, may justly be considered as one of the moll ingenious Archite&s of the present age. A convenient Tavern House and {ta bles arc erected at the expense of the Ptoprietors, on Goat-Island, forthe ac commodation of tra/ellers. The road is now very direst, and from the exer tions of the towns contiguous to it, is put in good order. This road & bridge being on the great route from Portland through Dover to Newbury-Port and Boston, will greatly accommodate all who pass that way. The work for building this Bridge was begun in April lafl, finte which as much as three thousand tons of oak tim ber—two thousand tons pine timber— eighty thousand tons (tones, have been used, and a suitable number of hands employed. Such exertions reflect great hono. on the Agents and others con cerned for completing in so ihort a time so great a work. By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, Dec. »i. Charleston, Nov. 19. John Neufville, Esq. lias lately iflued his certificates of funded debt in favor of this state to the amount of nearly one million and a half of dollars, due from the United States. A specie interest of about 13,000!. sterling, will be annual ly paid on this capital, from the com mencement of the ensuing year, and a eonfiderably greater sum after the year 1800. The whole debt of this state is about half a million of pounds sterling. If therefore the legislature can annually raise, by taxes, seventeen thousand pounds, in addition to the current ser vices of the year; the whole debt of the ftatt may be funded at fix per cent. To enfufe punctuality in the payment of the interest, it will be proper to lay the tax this! year, and to defer payment of interest till the year 1796. With a year's tax in advance, and five quarters interest from Congress, amounting to 69,000 dollars, alio in advance, it will be, fully in the power of the state to be punctual in the payment of the interest on its whole debt, from and after the end of 1795. The creditors of South Carolina are therefore cautioned against parting with the evidences of their debt, as the legislature, at their approaching feflion, have the means of doing them justice ; and it may be fairly presumed that they will not negle£l so important a partof their duty.
