CONGRESS.
t The firft ftffion of the fourth Congress will com
mence 011 Mrtnday, the seventh day of December
next, purluant to the fourth fedtion of the firft |
article of the Conftitutioii of the United States.
,It is expedted by many, that the approaching
fcffi'<n of Congrcfs will be highly intetefting—
It will —for what is more interesting to the people,
than the congratulations of their civil fathers on
the peace, tranquility, and unexampled prosperity
of their country —what more interesting than the
attachment of the people to their own conftitUlion,
laws, and government —an attachment so firmly
rooted atid fixed in t-hs hearts of the great Body of
the people, th;t all the attempts of the secret and
open enenves of our glorious independence, hare
not been/able to affedt or diminish it—What more
interfiling than the refledtion, that no general ca
lamity, as wars, fires, earthquakes, inundations,
•or famine,"has delolated our country, and occalion
the aflembhng of the' States in Congress—No gene
ral public misery, no public loss, no failure of the
sources of public revenue calls for extra public sup
plies—no new taxes are contemplated, perhaps
those exiftiog may be reduced—our Treasury full,
and flowing—our refourees expanding—our credit
strengthening, our debts decreasing—What more
interesting or pleasing ? Contrail ourfituation with
that of any other country —what is the rcfult !
With what sincerity will every benevolent Ame
rican adapt the beautiful exclamation of the poet,
Peace o'er the -world thine olive branch extend.
We le am from , Savannah, that Gen. Jackfan
has resigned his feat as Senator in the Senate of

Mr. Randolph's vindieation of his resignation is
I now in the press, and will shortly be published.—
f But the people of the United States will certainly
s eonliderit as singular, that thq Copy Right of an
Appeal to themselves, from one of their public offi
cers, in vindication of his own condudt, fliould be
- secured, so that the information, necessary to Enable
1 them to judge of the redtitude or criminality of his
• condudt, mult become an article of confideiable ex
penfe to them, though peihaps of emolument to
- him. It is the more peculiarly extraordinary, as
there is not, perhaps a printer of a newspaper on the
1 Continent, who would not willingly have published
hisvindication, gratis, for the fatibfadtion of hi 3 ct.f
- tomets. We have repeatedly observed, that the af
-1 fair was involved in myflery ; and we confefs We dc
1 not yet find it less so ; and if we ever fhouW, from
any ftatemcnt of Mr. Randolph's, we are not likely
to be at liberty to unravel it to our readers. We
f will, however, publish, from the advertisement <n

' On Tuefdav last, the Supreme Judicial Court
opened in thistowrt. 'i'ae Chief Joftice, Ds.ka,
delivered a mod pertinent Charge 10 the Jury.—
f He introduced it with the proper definitions of
treason against the (late, and interfpeifed it with
1 very judicious observations, upon the importance
, of a sacred regard to the laws, and the conftitu'red
• autharities. He then proceeded to the other arti
cles belonging to the duty of a grand Juror, ar/d
• accommodated his information particularly to the
caies which would probably come before them. He
then closed his charge with a molt pointed represen
tation of the danger of riots, of private will againlt
the Laws, and of unlawful combinations. His
Charge was lengthy but it engaged the molt ani
r mated attention. There was a glo* of gratitude on
t the Couatenaneesof thejaffembly,when they were re
lieved from the apprehended horrors offedition,by a
seasonable and jult recolledtion of the Chief Jullice,
i t iiat he wasaddreffinga part of the state, in which a
sacred regardihaubeen paidto the public tranquility.
• —.The Chief Jullice was requelted to deliver the
' Charge to be printed, but as many fine thoughts
'' were found to have been fuggeftcd by tile occasion,
c he left it as it then was, written upon our hearts.
' On Thursday last at the Supreme Judicial Court
1 came on the trial of Henry Blackburn for the mur
der of George Wilkinfon. The wrtneffes were di
redt full and consistent. The Judges were clearly
" ef opinion that it was murder, and by Blackbnrn,
' and the Jury after a fliort absence, returned their
verdidt guilty. Sentence was yelterday passed upon

" I have the pleasure to inform you, that the

Capt. Dunn arrived here yeflerday from' Ham.
1 burg, in 43 days, informs.
That the'new French Conftitutioa had been ac
cepted by all the armies, and many of the depart
ments ; but whether a majority had ratified the
Decrees for re-eledting two thuds of the Conven
tion, was not ascertained when Capt. 1). failed :
That was the opinion of many at Hamburg, !
that the Germanic Princes would fucc.td in it,flu
enci|>3 Emperor to make peace, mt only as
hear! of the Fmpire hut as lung, of Hungary :
Tliat tlie French army conti tied on the right
fide of the Rhine, and were making large llridea
towards Hanover :
That the English continued to take Dutch ves
sels whenever they mrt with them, which was con
sidered as tantamount to a declaration of war :
That the Empress of RufTia had not declared
war againfl Prussia 33 reported ; nor had there
been any Naval A£tioh i The Dutch fleet that
had been out had returned again so the Texel.—
That the Hanoverians were embarking a bp4y 01
troops and £irvalrt, for which puipofe a number of
Ammciß and .other veiTtls had been purchafrd,
amounting to abotit 36 tianfports, with three fri
gates to convoy them—their destination wes un
known.
The papers by Capt. Dunn, are to October, but
they contain little other general news, than is de"-
tailed above.
We had iWral airivals yesterday from Europe,
principally long paflages.
The King of England as Duke of Eremen, is
, chosen one of the Germanic agents, to treat with
the. French for peace. His acceptation of the ap
pointment is considered in Europe as a virtual ac
knowledgment of the Frencft Republic.

We begin to recover from our alarm, the tem

been carried pall our doors to other places. French
i troops have been landed at Ham till now from
large boats, and as soon as the landing of any par
. ticular regiment is effected, it marches thence for

ing towaidsthe Sieg.clofely followed by thcFreneh.
The Frenfh (tp not seem inclined to follow the
Aultrians farther than the environs of Mark. Ac
. cording to our acsounts, the French have not only
. pofielfion of Solingßii, a place famed for its manu
factories of fire-arras, and especially swords, E'.ber
feld, and the whole country of Berg, but also of
■ Mulheim on the Rhine, where General Kleber
commands. Though several houses in this place
have fuffered materially by the fire of the French,
f<irtunately no part of the town was burnt down.
The inhabitants who left the town for fear of a
bombardment, arejeturning. Lieutenant-Colonel
Winter is at present Commandant of this place :
the garrifonis not very llrong. The French among
other things, have made a requisition of 2fcoo horses
in Dufieldorf.
