"To give a proper idea of the Plan of this Work, the fol
lowing-is extrailed from the. Advertisement as the
Author:
" I imagine a Scythian, named Asachas.sk, to ar
rive in Greece, some years before the birth of Alexander;
■ and that from Athens, the usual place of his residence, he
wakes fe-veral excurfiens into the neighbouring -provinces;
every where observing the.manners and enftoms of the
inhabitants, being present at their feflivals, and Cudying
the nature of their governments; sometimes dedicating
his leisure to enquiries relative to the progress of the hu
man mind, and sometimes converting with the great men
who flourifhed at that time; with Epaminondas, Phocim,
Xenophon, Plata, Arljl.tU, Demofihenes, Sec. As faon as he
has fecn Greece eriflaved by Philip, the father of Alexan
der, he returns into Scythia, where he .puts in order an ac
count of his travels; and to prpvent any.interruption in
his narrative, relates in an introduction tlie memorable j
events which had palled in Greece before he left Scythia."
" I 'have chosen to write a narraiive of Travels ra
ther than a history, because in such a narrative-all is Xce
jiery and ailion; and because circumllantial details may,
ibe enteied kito which are not permitted to the hiftoriaa."

The bill for regtilating intefcouflc with the In- t
dian tribes wss read a third time, the .blanks iilkd c
up, and pafTcd. p
Mr. New, of the committee of enrolments, re- n
ported as duly enrolled, a bill for eftaHifhing trad
ing houses with the Indian tribes, and a resolve -
dire£ling further returns in the cases of clatmaims
for invalid penlions, which accordingly received
the fig.nature of the Speaker.
Mr. Tracy moved to take.up the amendments
of the Senate to the bill authoring the Secretary .
•at War to place certain perfens on the pentomlilt. 1
Mr. Chrillie, moved the order of the day to be 1;
pottponed, tliat the Hoiifc might tefolve itlelf into d
a committee of the whole on the state of the
Union. , ,
Mr. Tracy {aid he ,was as much in favor of going
into the ■question of the date us the Union as tin; 1
gentleman who propOied it coi'Jd be ; bwt he/aid 1
,the huiinff! he proposed to-the of the v
House, he believed, would not occupy many mi- 5
nu:es. , -
The business wastheteforc taken up, and the a* . J
mendments agreed to.
Mr. Harper said tfrey had this morning parted a
bill containing strong, but peceflary meafu«s W '
prevent future infra&ions of the treaty lately con- )
eluded with the Cherokee,lndians. In ordvr effec- 1
, tually to prevent this, he believed it would be ite* }
firable to do away alLcauft ot cornpliintfiom those r
persons who had claims upon the land ceded to the
Indians by treaty. For this purpose, he laid the 1
following resolutions on the. table : 3
Refulved, 'Hiat all pttrfons now holding lands
under grants from the liate of North-Gjrcjlina, in '
the territory of the .United Si ate?, iouUi of the '
Ohio, antl beyond the boundary line bejwocji <he a
United States and the Indians, (h;ill be eetjtled to. '
receive in exchange for an equal quantity of their '
lands, 320 acres each in the territory of the U. 1
States north.weft of the Ohio, on their refpeciive- '
ly fettling there, ami continuing to relide for the
ierm of
Resolved, That all peifßiis holding as.aforefiid J
shall be permit'ted to fubferibe their lands on the •
loan for the domestic debt of the United States'at
the rate of 25 dollars.per hundred acres, and in the '
fame teitns with the present unfubferibed debt, !
provided that such fubfeription (hall not entitle any j
fubferiber to a certificate 'till the whole lands so
granted as aforefaid, shall have been fubicribed or '
exchanged. 1
Mr. Christie renewed his motion to go into a 1
mcomittec of the whole on the Ita'e of the UnioH. '
Mr. W. Smith was ngainft agreeing to the mo
tion, tW He was aware of the necessity of'an ear- J
ly attention to the business, until the important '
financial business before the House was gone thro'. J
He was the more desirous of going into the bufi '
ness of finance from the very long representation
which had been gone into by the gentleman from '
Peiinfylvania {Mr. Gallatin) yesterday ; a repre, '
fentation tending to mislead the public, and which '
he thought it his duty flatly to contradict, and tc
(hew that his calculations and conclufions,were to- !
tally unfounded. If it was, however, determined '
to go into the business of the state of the Union, '
he wished to be permitted to read a flatetnent of 1
their finances, by which he would prove that ifcey !
were now in a better state than they were in 1791, *
by two millions. » '
Mr. Smith had not pfermiflion to read his Hate- '
ment, it being declared not in order ; and after 1
some observations from Messrs. Harper, Sedgwick, '
and Gilbert, against going immediately into a state
of the Union, and from Messrs. Giles, -Swanwick '
and Gallatin, in favor of it, (the latter gentleman
noticing what had fallen from Mr. Smith, with re- '
fpeft to the financial question, faying that ae he !
had no other object than truth in view, he chal- '
lenged difcufllon 011 the fubjeft, at the fame time \
expressing his "confidence in the truth of his Hate
ments) the question was put and carried for going '
into a state of the Union. 1
The House having formed itfelf into a commit- !
tee of the whole, Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair, j
Mr. Sedgwick prop«fe«d a refolutioii to the follow- 1
ing effett.
Resolved, That provisions ought to be made by !
law, for carrying into effect with.,good faith, the 1
treaties lately concluded wi'h the Dey and Regency J
of Algiers, the King of Great Britain, the King
of Spain, and certain Indian Tribes, north weft '
of the river Ohio. 1
r This relolution occasioned considerable heat in '
the committee. It was objected to as being intro- '
1 duccd before the Chairman had read the papers be
fore the committee, and some debate took placc u- 1
pon the point of order ; but at length the Chair- :
man having declared the refolntion in order, a de- ;
' bate took.place upon the form resolution. !
It wasobjefted tapn account of its embracing ail '
the-four treaties. 0 '
was tliat gentlemen might wish to sppro- 1
priate for carrying into elicit one treaty, and not '
another. This, it was said, could not be an .of 1
jedtion to gentlemen themfalves bound '
to carry all the treaties into effea without exercising '
; tbe,r judgment upon thenv but it was'an objection . 1
to those who advocated a contrary do&riue. It
was the wifn alfo»f many genfiemen that the Spa-' :
niSi treaty Ihould be firit difenffed, as least ohicd- :
ionaMe; - On the other bsnd it was infilled by .0- '
ther gentlemen that the house was equally bound 1
10 carry hi: j effea all the treaties, and some gen- '
, tlemen said .hat if any one of the treaties was refa
: fed to, be carried into effea, "they should feel .t.hcm
felves juftified in refKfing their assent ?o the others;
Sojiie piopofed that the treaty with Algiers should
be fir ft taken up, as fir ft iq the refolntion, others
that wr.h Great-'Britain as moll pressing on account i
ot time. And aftei along, very irregular, and in t
j some degree, intemperate debate, during which
fevM-al means were proposed to get rid of the re fo- !
, lotion, and a number of points of order fettled, 1
Mr. Gallatin moved an amendment »o out i
the word " treaties*' and introduce the words the
treaty, which being carried, Mr. , l ?loi:nt mover, to
ttrike-out the words, " Dey oF Algiers and King
of Great Britain." Mr. Grabb alio gauged an a
memlment to the amendment toleave the refblution
to be filled up to morrow—upon which some ib-
IStvatior.s wtre made, but the quellions were not
taken. After two motions beings mace for the
committee to rife, whieh were negatived, (it being
past the usual hour of adjournment) a third was
made and carried.
Adjourned.
FOR SHE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
TO HARRINGTON.
YOUR attack upon the freedom of the press
in the person of the Printer, affords an additional
preof of youi arbitrary principles and lack of wis
dom.
That an author writing under the impenetrable
(hield of an assumed (ignature, (hould conceive him-
Celf aggrieved by liridtures on his fatherlpfs Eflays,
is truly novel, and it was reserved for Harrington
tq .present the firfl example.—lf, Sir, governed by
vanity the invariable chara£tcii!tic of a weak mind,
you have bet rayed your own secret, to ingratiate
j'otrrfelf with the meji augu/f m jority in the universe,
who is to blame ? The lilly Author and not the
Printer.
It Is not pretended that the Printer has abided
your confidence—how then do you reconcile it to
your proteftatiorjs of re£Htude, to accuse him of
ingratitude for publishing Ltonidas in reply to
Harrington—Did you hibferibe to his paper or
furniftt him with advertisements tindei that ilame ?
If not why all this uproar because he has granted
the. fame indulgence to one anonymous writer as
another. I am also a cultomei of Mr. Fcnno's,
but.l (hould fooa take my leave of him, if 1 could
once believe him capable of surrendering np the
, freedom of his press to you or any body elie for
aiiy'ifußi however much lei's for the paltry
conGderation of a few hundred dollars. For fiame
Sir, to wreak your ill judged vengeance on an ho
. nest man, whose labours raalgre the threats of the
defpoiler are inceflantly devoted to preserving his }
fellow citizens in the peaceable enjoyment of all that '
is dear upon earlh : if you are not a full blooded
Jacobi i you will.make an immediate atonement for
your fault.
The moderation of whiwh ycu make so much pa
rade, reminds me of Nero, who it is said fiddled
whillt Home was in flames ! Were you adling less
ia chsra&er than Nero, when you so exultingly
Jiu.led a dart at the bosom of your country : Won
. derful moderation indeed ! And what is your cx
cqfe for this parricidal nci ? Why foifooth, that
the magnitude of the object for.which the majority
of the House of Reprefer.tatives are contending, is
so * reat, it -were lo be more or left than man not to
feel a deep inlcrejl in it. Sir, there is no difference
of opinion as to the objetl of th« aifpute. Ail
parties are convinced that the Treaty-makingpow
er, is exclulively vetted in the President and Senate,
but as all parties are not agreed as to the expedien
cy of Supporting the present form of government,
the mealure which you ate singing hallelujahs .in
praise of, —has been divifed to.effcft its prottration.
You assert, " that for the lall ten years, you had
not written three columns oil nor.taken any can
i cern in polities." It is rather unfortunate that you
fhould'have refumcd your pen after so long an in
terval, to weaken the confidence of the people in
the President, at a crisis, which so loudly calls up
tin every friend to his country to rally round the
conltitulion.—Do you flatter yourfelf Sir, that in
the event of a diuolution of the government—you
will be peimitted to wander unmolested amidst the
mighty ruins ? If so, you indulge a desperate hojje.
Perhaps you are so blinded by prejudice, as not to
perteive, that the coiitcft btvween vhe President
and the majority of the House of Representatives,
is the result of a preconcerted plan on the part of
the latter? -Ye*, I fay preconcerted plan,—because
if there had been any the leail profpedl of success,
th« motion for papers yvotild never have beeir made.
Is it pretended that there are any secret articles in
the Treaty ? No. Is it believed that the papers
would throw light on an instrument which speaks
so plainly for itfelf ? No. What then was the ob
ject of the call■?' Why to jifFord a pretence for not
raking up the Treaty, by »lledgin;r for reason,
that the thing ivlich ivas not wished for., was with
held ! The cry of no Treaty, at the various meet
ings convened the last summer by the partisans of
the majority—the petitions presented to the House
by the fame persons—the amendments proposed by
the state of Virginia, and language held by that
majority, and in the devoted to their
interell, mutt be cofihdered as concluiive evidence
of tr« truth of my afferticn.
If you have pinned your faith on tire sleeves of
the majority—it is an aift of complaisance which I
am nit dilpofed to ihtvv to them or their oppo
nents.-—But Sir, since we have euteted upon the
relative merits of the two parties as to the qneftion
in dispute—l will alk you, whether there is not
some reafim to drlirutt the decisions of any set of
men, in a cause to which they tlumfelves are par
"es —and if io, wheth«r the minority do not stand
. upon better ground than the majority ? Becatife,
i whatever may he the lefult of the conieft, the felf
deriVl exetciied by the minority mull itafure to
them, the applause of their fellow citizens.
1 (hall conclude for the present, with performing
an act of jullice to Mr. Pernio, with whom you
: are displeased for maintaining the independence of
his prefs.—lt is Sir, that I have never received
from him the filghtell intjmation of the real author
of Harrington. LEONIDAS.
