,Philadelphia, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1796. Names of the Committee appointed by the Mer chants on Friday, to correspond with the commercial cities and towns of the United States, as well as the frontier Counties— Thomas F itziimons, Joseph Ball, Walte - Stewart, George Latinjer, Saipuel Ster'rett, A Cori efpondcnt obArves, that when a certain petit rr.aitre, not a hundred miles from north Eighth-street, ■u'iAiai to imitate father Adam in his native state of innocence, iie would do well to get into the cellar, or asy other dark place, and not parade himfelf at the front windows, to the great scandal of the oeighhour- llODd. From a Correspondent. It is supposed that Mr. M r being ftnfible of his present want of influence from his ineomfiftcncy in po litics, hasTefigned the conspicuous station he formerly held in the House of Representatives, in favor of Mr. G , who, altho' a foreigner, is undoubtedly to be depended upon in certain cases. To the Circuit Court of the United States for the Pennsylvania Diftrift of the middle Circuit. The address of the fubfet'ibers, members' of the Grand Jury, in answer to the honorable Judge Iredell's charge. We arc sensible ofthe importance of the fubje&s discussed in the charge delivered to us, and we molt sincerely wish that all our fellow citizens were im pressed with the duties, which it inculcates. We participate in the eulogies bellowed on the conduct of the Executive, an 1 hope the patriotic exertions of our fellow citizens to support the laws on the occalijn you mention, will ever ensure them the gratitude and cfteem of their country. We hope the difgraceful infurreftion which called forth th* energies.of the friends to order and good government, will only be remembered as a warning toothers of the folly and danger of such qpavail ing and attempst. It has however been at tended with good confequeaces, whatever evils might have been contemplated by its authors. It lias afforded another proof of the finmnefs, the wisdom, and benevolence 'of our itiuch. beloved President, in whom our confidence continues to be undiminifhed. It has opened the eyes of a once deluded people, and enabled them to fee their true interests. Their recent conduct affords us a pleating and decided con firmation of this sentiment. Although we had not any official aft to perform, on which the fubjedt of treaties came under our view, yet we cannot forbear,.as citizens called to a very confidential Ration, mentioning our sentiments otva ftibjeft, which now so much engages the pub lic miad. We mean the several treaties lately made with foreign powers, on the due execution whereof the peace and happiness of our country so materi ally depend. - . Much misconception, and much unfounded alarm existed as to one of these treaties, namely, that with G. Britain, But we can from a knowledge of the people, among whom we lire, truly fay that the fubjeft being now better by those, who were alarmed and deceived, has produced a de sire in the miijds of the great body of the people that this treaty as well as the others may without delay be carried into effe£t. And we express our own, and we confidently believe the wifnes of the great majority of this diftrift, when we hope no impediment may be thrown in its way by our repre sentatives, so tar as their agency is necefiary to ef fectuate its objetts. Were this nation in a condi tion to dilate a compact, one might have been made exa&ly to our mind—but we believe this treaty is the belt which under all circumflances could be obtained. It places great points of controver sy, either of which might have produced war, in a train of amicable adjullment; and, in our opinion, it is one among the many wife and firtfi measures pursued by our patriotic Chief Magiltrate, which have a decided tendency to perpetuate the unexam pled prosperity, with which the great disposer of events has been pleased to bless our dear and happy country.

The Amfterd.im Packet, Henderfon, is arrived k in Clyde, from New-York, and brings American newspapers to the ead of December. The inter cepted letters of the French Ambassador, Fauchet taken in the Jean Bart, had been pdblifhed. From them it appears that Fauchet had been very instru mental in fomenting the late rebellion in the Wef. tern States aaraind the Government, and that he had endeavored to raise a party to overthrow the government of the United States. In this plot were involved, the Secretary Randolph, and other leading men of the Hates. Fauchet, upon the dis covery of this letter, had very pruden;ly made his escape from America.— Randolph had resigned. The French party was strong in Virginia ; bnt notwithftanJiu'g all the intrigues of the French t'ae ti«n to overturn the conliitution, a verygteat ma j irity ir| all the dates, among whopi vv;re almolt all the refpefhb'e people, were resolved firmly to support the conltitution. -In mod of the Itates re solutions had been pafled, highly applauding the of their venerable Preiident VVafliington, reprobating thi insidious arts that had been tiled a gaind him, and approving of the Treaty of Amitv »id Omn ncree betwixt Great-B it<wn and the U Israel Whelen, Robet Wain, Jofepli Anthony, Samuel Breck, Francis Gurney.

Extract of a letter from a Supercargo »f a vessel as " Hearing of an entire reform of the French ad mfniftration in the Bite of Leogane, in consequence of a national decree in favor of Americans, we left Jacquerr.el for Meraguan, but by fatal expetienee find 'no law binds a-fet of rascals whose whole fludy is to cheat their country and rob the Americans un der the specious name of friendfhip, this they hour, ly do in direst opposition to their own laws, and when told of it, are not ashamed to confefa the fa£t, pleading neccflity has no law, and although this is their excuse, administration are fully able to pay every American his due, provided the officers were honest, but tliey take ipecial care to feather their own nests while in their power to accomplish it, which they do by playing into each other's hands, and league together, to prey upon us, unfortunate Americans. The coffee that (hould be delivered us for our cargoes taken by them, is fold for ca(h and pocketed bv the officers. " The Americans place by far too much confi dence in the honor of Fienchmen—they forget the difference between the teal patriots of France and the noisy democrats for liberty, the ignorance of the latter is hardly conceivable, it is common to find their principal officers unable to sign their names—when we fit ft arrived here and found the situation of things, I demanded a permit to depart the poll—their answer was—we intend to have your cargo before you go. Immediately 15 soldiers were placed aboard—l demanded to know if they would tike it by force, they replied no, but would j keep us and not allow us ta fell an article until we ; fold to government —We waited 14 days and found others haJ lain 66 days and then been compelled to j give up—we concluded it vain to (land out and j heaven only knows what will be the event."

In Fiuchet's dispatches, above alluded to, is the following remarkable passage : " Jt appears to me that these men (the popular societies, j with Ran dolph at their head, were beginning to decide on their party. About two or three days before the proclamation was published in the Weflern lhtes Mr. Randolph came to fee me with an air of great eagerness, and made to me the overtures of which I have given yon an account in my No. 6.

To any printer in Philadelphia, whose liberality los sentiment may lead him to believe that a few ■ difinteielled ideas on a certain occasion are worth a I place in his paper, the following remarks are re , fpeflfully adtireflej, and that witliout any partial | attention to the common course of political opini ons ; it being a reafor.abli supposition that particu ; lar cases may sometimes occur, in which even dif -1 feretit (ides may (hew a dilpofition to promote the I general welfare : Of this I could produce an in | llance, if neceflaiy; but (hall now proceed to what j I have in view 0.1 rhe prefetit occasion. | THE public papers of late have I een so re. I markably occupied vith the debates of Congr?fs, ; that 1 (hould not wonder if many parts of the de ■ bates weie but litlje known to a number of those I w 'ho are even the cultomers for one 01* more of the ; daily paper? ; and of course there miy be fume | ihinjjs palled over in too light a, manner, which are i exceedingly inteiefting, and particularly so to the catife of ( honour and humanity. Of this fort, [ believe that forae of the remarks relating to the I natives of this land are of the firll rank, in the \ (cale of reason and jultiee How pleasing is it to i fee one,of the members of Congress exprefling him fcif in the following fot'cible manner: " I he Cod of Nature had given them the land, and he was sorry to hear any gentleman on that floor call their right to it in question, He wojild ask who were the proprietors of this country pievi pbi to its Tieing known to eivifiz-d nations s (..« ;hey were called) were not those people ? and lud they not always been in the peaceable enjoyment of ft ? Who cave us a right to call their title io quif tion, or forcibly to thtuft them out ? They h?d (he said) fuffered enotygh from the fraud and vic -1 nee of those, who, finee the discovery ot Americ r oad been fceking to difpofiefs I hem of their land?, and he hoped no one m that Ho oft would with to take from them what htlle of their inheritance re mained in their pnfTcffion. He l,ad (he faH) been advocating the raufe of the Induu} but jhe little regarded v\f lat r/as said oil that head i His objes was, not only quiet to the Indians, but security a!f„ to the peaceable-, wei}-difpofed inhabi tants on the frontiers, who had families, and were exposed »o resentment a id" retaliation." After those and a rurnber.of oilier pointed rr* marks, the famr honorable member read an extratt of a Ltrer from Governor Blo'un't, in which herac .prefles a wifli for the future peac* <\nrj happiness of his fcllow-ciir'xens, and acknowl dges it as his opi nion, that he who prc/erves peace with the Indians thereby serves the Indian*, but it is equal!y true, that by the fame aft he in a much greater degree serves the frontier inhabitant*. Siich sentiments are honorable, in my opinion, not onlv to the gen tleman of the name of tiillhoufe, but a!fo to member of the House of Conjjrefs who, willing to give a due attentien to such sentiments, demonstrate a just idea of the rights of other men. Whether or not tliefe oLfervations will be ever printed is not for me to know ; but I am ready tr> imagine, that if they were thrown up in the wine?, and /hould light near sn Indian wigwam, at any diilance, and one of the interpreters should read them to the natives in their own language, they would fnew such marks of approbation as would moie than compensate the said interpreter for his trouble ; —and if such a ciroumftance fliouH be known to the prefenl writer, he might alfopartake with the in'ei preter in such amusement with plrfaf ing fatisfadlion.
