Smith informed the House, that the committed appointed to wait upon the Directors of the Bank of the United States, to enquire whether it would be convenient for them to continue the money which they had advanced to government in of the revenue, on loan as usual, had dire&ed hinl to move that the committee of the whole might be discharged from a farther confidera* tion of the bill before it, providing in part for the payment of the debt due to the Bank of the United States, in order that it might be re-coHitnittrt to the committee of ways and means, (o undergo some alterations, in consequence of the result of their enquiries. The committee of the whole was dis charged and the bill re-committed. Mr. Goodhue, of the committee of commerce and manufa&ures, reported a bill for allowing com pensation to officers in the army for horses lulled in battle ; also a bill for providing relief to distillers tn certain cases, were twice read, a.ld committed to a committee of the whole on Monday. The bill providing appropriations for defraying the expences as carrying into effect the treaty lately concluded with the Dey and Regency of Algiers ; and the bill for making provision for the Revenue Cutters, were read a third time and passed. The blank in the former bill for the yearly allowance to be paid to Algiers, was filled up with 24,000 dollars.

Smith spoke on the fubjeft, generally against the treaty ; but believing it to have been constitutionally form ed, and finding that his canftituents were aimoft wholly in favor of it, he declared his iflt?ntion of giving his rote for carrying it into execution.' The committee rose and had leave to fit again. Adjourned till Monday. from'the Columbian Ceatintf. EPISTOLARY Dear Friend, YOU observe very truly, that all the public de monstrations of opinion, from one end of the Union to she other, are unfavourable to the an»j r treaty me ? *. ai they ground their principles and their influence in obt affairs on popularity, they will not dare, nor be disposed to aft again ft the plain sense of the eoantry: that, altho' thev may pretend to deny the fact, they will not ia their'hearts entertain a doubt, that since the firft hot fever a gainst the treaty has cooled off, the general senti ment has turned strongly against them. In the fact, I fully agree with you< 1 also agree, that t)te conduct of the Virginia afTembly gives no color of encouragement to their doctrine. For the Vir ginia amendments proceed on the »iidouUting faith that the Gallatin interpretation of the confttf ution is not true. There are very great difficulties in the way of the anti-treaty party and their new tights on the constitution, and I believe .with you, they go for ward with faint hearts, and sensible that it is on a forlorn hope, as the million of lit? against the treaty have now spent their force and loft their power to deceive. The (late legislatures, the chambers of commerce, the toad* of public feafts, the univcrfal sentiment of our enlightened substantial yeomanry, have piled one proof upon another, and have added demon (lration to demonstration, until bo one doubts that the nation will support the conftitutcd authorities. Still, however, and contrary to your vrrynatuial expectation, they will go all lengths, undet pretext of the treaty, to attack, and if poflible to usurp the treaty-making power. In judging of parties, yon must attend to the or dinary operation of party paflions. This party, so long a tool is the hands of France, sod many of them, beyond all question, hired for the purpofa, lias long laboured, with unwearied zeal, to involve thw country in the war, because wai* would bring anarchy and the «verthrow of the conliitifcion ; all wiiicb are as dcai to our.jacobins as to tWe France. j, - While jthe war rages inEurope, the passions of our citizens will scarcely become cool, and defigoing de magogues will not despair of fuccei's in their schemes of confufion. But a* that war it evidently drawing to a close, the operations of the party are crowded into a small space of time. They mud conquer before a peace, or the laws will conquer them. Their ftmggle at lhi» late day, and under so many difeouraging cir cumstances, is neveithelef* for life. If-the treaty wifl not kill ihe government, the life of the party is gone. Peace will remove from us foreign emifla ries, and the government will find the whole strength of a happy nation, then grown calm, then steed from tl.? leaven and the four fanaticifra of Freoch madness, united to fopport it, w« (hall then have none but our own rogue* to deal with. You will therefore agree with me, thai the party ii driven to desperation. Since the date of my l«lt, y*u will find this proved by their condudt. It is truly a bold thing, by a vote of one btanch only,- to make a new constitution, and one in every refpedl much worse than that which the people ordained— The attempt will fail, and draw down the authors of it into utter disgrace. How is it, that a majority of »ne popular body is found so little in correspondence with the sense of the country ? This queition is very natural. Re member, however, that our last elections were made while the elubs and the reign of terror were at the highest. A great ferment had almoll convulsed the canntry. It has since subsided, but while it lasted a fort of men came in who will as certainly go out at th» next choice. Many of them know it, and think it for that reason the more urgent to make the most of the prtfent moment. So far as one can judge of the general opinion, it was never more corre&— ne»er in any instance more dccidedly a majority, than it has appeared against the late new fangled do&rine of the (hare of the House in the treaty-making power. It would, be Grange if the public (hould believe the preachers of the new do&rine ; for it is well known they do net believe it themselves. It is perfe&ly well known that fomc of the speech makers were zealous oppefers of it in the great Convention.— Wl.at matchless boldness (f want a fironger word for this bfaien profligacy) what boldness by a new,comment on the conftiturion in dire& repug nance to their own declared and solemnly repeated conttrnftion of it, thus to make War on the coniti tutcd Authorities—thus to attempt to nrakea new government by usurpation ; or in other words, by cunning and sophistry to turn Congress. into a French Convention. On this great question, the public mud judge.— Thanks to our wile forefathers, whoere&ed schools and fettled ministers, it i# an- enlightened public •hat has to judge between the Preftdent and an u furping majority. If the nariop -will not hold tip its own conflitutcJ authorities, they mull fall, they have no armies to hold them up by force. But if our citizens are c*ol» imprefled with a sense of the crifta, the conllitution will prevail— it will go on asit was intendedit should when it was made—party will fall, and peace will baniih foreign passions and foreign gold, that (lir up mobs aitd popular iocieties. Until that tak«s place, the pre servation of public order wdl be both difficult and hazardous. The ioterefh'ng crisis that is now unfolding itfelf is to display whether our citizens are worthy or un wort?iy of a free courtitutitfn—Whether they really possessor unhappily want the Spirit and good sense that will support it.
