Mr. Halhed quoted Acts . t -8, 39, ' And now 1 fay unto you, let ' these men alone, &c. Mr. Brothers, he t ' lc contended, didjiot afiociate with any per- Ml' foil but four or fivetinambitious men, of J— whom he was happy to reckon himlelf as ' one who, though they enjoyed his con- verlation, and believed in his prophecies, yj coold not be imagined as having a design to abet any traitorous designs. Of the vei prophecies recorded in the books of Mr. Brothers, he declared that many had alrea- tlx dy been attually fulfilled, or in a state of mi probability to be so ; but he would inlift, ret that of all the prophecies contained in his tcl two books, not one had failed, notwith- j ( Aauiiag the miserable attempts or mifer r , ab;« parnphlateers to ftigmitize and viliry : him. Many long jeaws written to his Ma jelt's Ministers, contained predictions of wl what had actually happened ; and amonglt na I tliofe which he (Mr. Hilhed) wilhed molt ft tarneftly may not be fulfilled, foinereiat ed to the Parliament, and to that house in particular. Many of thole friends wno !' had, with the njllt laudable motives advi- Y -fed him not to bring forward the present 111 motion, and who represented him on the cl : brink of a precipice of oblcquy and dif- m 1 grace, would, he hoped,' impute similar w i motives of philKithropy to him, if he men- j j tioned to tnem Ins imagination that fhey i flood in the way of dangers, of infinitely 111I 11 greater importance. He had known Mr. 15 Brothers, he said, but a short time: he tr had never heard of his books until Janua ry, nor their author until February ; but m so thoroughly convinced was he of the „ trutii and magnitude of his prophecies, that he had written a small pamphlet in ; Ins favour. He (hould not there: ore, think ! it very unrea.«nable to prop ife to the ' c members ot the House to employ part of ai E alter reccli in the perusal of tholi: bojks S w 'fTT?H had made so very gi-fjt an irapref- tl iion on his mind. The great Omnipote .t Vl Being had already interfered in the affairs a| of the world. Why may it not, therefore, be considered probable that he may again ! 11 Every body kn<iws that the great Colum- P bus, who .was so fully convinced that there p was land liayoud Atlantic, applied to many j a nionarchs before lie could gain any credit; j M at tail, however, he convinced the world j of the truth of his prophecies, by praeti- m cal demonstration. Brothers had once in tended to present Wrriftlf to that House and let them know the denunciation a gainst them ; and though he was then turned out, yet he did not wiih rhat he b might he'ordere lto attend at the bar, in t order that he may give them some whole- t some warr.ivig. He said, he proposed to move that day, for laying a copy of Mr. Brothers's books' on the table ; but if the a house wilhed lie would present a copy in his t own potTeifion, which he had interlarded t with occalional obfervatiohs and paflages t frpm the bible, similar to many of the r said book;. ( Mr- .Halhed concluded his fpeecji by moving—That c.iyiu.#. «i£—Mr. 1' :■'h ar'i 1 Brothers's two books be laid upon the table ( and be perused by the members of the i House. j No member appearing to second this mn- ] tion, the Speaker cob Id not put the ques tion.

' A writer in the Aurora of the 9th ' ,e " inft. appears to console himfelf for the ' result ol the election for Governor in ' » the State of New-York, by observing, 1 that Mr. Jay has not been chosen fey 1 the fuffrages of the Freemen at large, ns ' and refers to the late cho.ce of Repre- 1 fentatives in Congrcfs for proof of his 1 eis affertioo.—The two following faiSs ' however will shew what degree of faith 1 ought to be given to the scribblers in ' the Aurora. The firll is, that the ag " g rc S ate Majority in the four ' f n " diltricts who returned federal mem bers, lon exceeded the aggregate of the majorities ' :cc * of the fix Diftrifts who have so wifely 1 ■''' deputed Democratic members, i>y many *P" hu»dred votes. The second part is, that in the Diltrift. in whieh Mr. Van Cort- : landt waseledted only by a majority of er * twenty votes, Mr. J y had a majority of y more than eight hundred. It t iidently f'" follows from this llatement that the ies greater number of freemen in the State of New-York are friendly to the present sr ' Government, and that if the election >nt there had been a general one (as in Con -11 nedticut) and not confined to diltrifts, ro " tke result would have been highly fa ro" vorable to the peace and happiness of the United States. j For Sale at this Office, [Price One Eighth of a Dollar.] c '" The Publications which appeared in the Vir >er ginia Gazette under the signature of IT MARCELLUS.
