Mr, Livingfton presented a memorial from Alex ander Macomb and William Edgar, Hating that they purchased in the year 1787, 89,000 acres or land from the United .States, for 80,000 dollars ; that they paid the firft instalment of 29,969 dollars but that afterwards being unfortunate in a voyage to China, Jiey were unable to make good the suc ceeding ir.ftalments ; they now, therefore pray,that their original purchase may be completed, or that they may be allowed such a proportion of land as they are entitled to from the money they had hate paid. Referred to the committee of claims. The bill relative to Quarantine, was read 1 the third time and passed. The bill for tre&ing a light hotife on Cap? Cod, was received from the Senate with one imenjmsnt, which was agreed to. . 5 The report of the committte on the'.petition.-of John Edgar, and others, was read a second' time,- and referred to a committee of the whole. On motion of Mr. Nicholas, the poijunittee of the whole to whom was referred the bill for .taking off the drawback on fnuff imported, was difcfiarged and the bill was recommitted to a feledl committee. On motion of Mr. W. Lyman, the house vefolv ed itfelf into a committee of the whole,on the port of the committee appointed to take into con tideration the date of the fortifications of our harbours, the measures which have been pursued for obtaining proper fcites for arsenals, and for replen ishing our magazines with military (lores and to re port what further measures are necessary refpe&ing the fame. The report was in the following words. " That it appears from the feport of the Secre tary at war, referred to the committee, that mea sures are now pursuing by the executive for obtain ing proper fcites for arsenals, and for repleoithing our magazines with military ilores ; but that ahe result thereof is not ascertained j the progress, however, i 3 fnch as to warrant a belief, that the complete accomplishment of those obje&s will faon be effedied. It is therefore the opinion of the com mittee, that no further legislative provision, relativt thereto, is necessary at this time. <fto, . -ry . From the view of theprefent date of the fortit ationsof our harbours, exhibited in the report c he Secretary at War, the committee are inducec o believe, that some further expenditures will bi :xpedient to psrfeft and secure the works alreadj might be useless, and in many, would probably b< exposed to very sudden dec?y and deftru&ion, ne tcrthelefs, it does not appear to the committee t( be necessary to extend the proviftons for this object any furthei, at the present time, as by a letter anti itatement from the Secretary, to the committtee there appears to be a very Con fider able sum (viz 23,877 dollars 56 cents) of the former appropria tions now unexpended. These eonclufions of the committee are formei without raference to the fortifications in the liar bour of New-York. At that placc." ihe woik have been laid out upon a plan very extensive, coa ftru£ted with durable materials, and principally un der the direction of the government, .Vnd at the ex pence of that state: although it does not appea to have been contemplated by the United States to fortify any harbour so extensively, and in a manner foexpenfive, it may, notwithstanding, be dcferviag their attention to consider how far the undertaking is entitled to their encouragement and support.— The committee, therefore, beg liav« to submit the following resolution: Refoived, Thatthefuraof dollars be ap propriated and paid out of any monies in the trea sury of the United States, not otherwise appro priated, for the purpose of securing and completing the fo'tifications in the harbor of New-York. This report occasioned confiderahle discussion.— The Chairman of the committee (Mr. W. Lyman) and the members from New-York urged the pro priety and the neceflity of an appropriation of a sum at least large enough t» preserve from decay the fortifications at New-York, erected' at an ex pence of 200,000 dollars from the State of New- York,and 17,522 dollars from the United States 5 in opposition the lateness of the ftffion was urged, and the impolCbility of going into a general con lideration of the fubjeft, which, if any thing was done, was tieceflary, as other dates were equally de sirous of attention in that relpeft. Other reasons were urged against making the appropriation re commended by the feleft committee, (which will appear when a fketchof the debate is given.) At length the committee rose, and on motion being made for the committee to have leave to fit again. Mr. Livingfton called for the yeas and nays, which were taken as follows : YEAS. MefTrs.

Mr. Tracy fiem the committee of claims, made a report on the petition ofthe widow of General Greene, which dated that Meffn. Harnfon and Blackford, merchants of Great-Britain, had obtain ed a final decree in. the court of equity of Charlel ton, the heirs of Gen. Greene, for a sum more than 70001. tterling, as surety for the houie of Hunter, Banks, & Co. that this surety being given for the ncceflary provtfions of the Southern army when it was in the most diftrefled condition, at a time when he had no other alternative than to rifli his private fortune or disband the army, his wi dow prays for payment from Congress. Ihe report which was in favor of the petitioner, was twice read, and referred to- a committee of the wnole to morrow. On a motion for po ft pone merit of the re ference, on the ground of some doubts on the fubjeft, a number of obfervatipns took place, but the motion being withdrawn, the report was refer red as above. Mr. Gallatin called up two refutations to the fol lowing effe£t, laid uj«>n the table by the committee of Ways and Means, some days ago, which were agreed to and a bill #r bills ordered to be brought in M Rcfolved that dollars be provided for the payment of variom incidental demands, occa lioned by trials of ptrfcns for crimes and offences during the late infurredian, not heretofore provi ded for." " Refolvedthat an additionalcompenfationought to be made for the services of marlfoalj, jurors, and in the ccurts of the United States during that period. Mr. S. Smith wished the house to tefolve itfelf into a committee of the whole on a bill which o rigiaated in the Senate, to regulate the compensa tion ofcletks, which was accordingly done; the committee rose without making amendments to it) the house took it up when Mr. W. Smith propo sed to add " that there be allowed for the year 1796, to the principal and other clerks in the office of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Representatives dollars each, in addition to their compienfation," The amendment was agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read a third time to morrow. Mr. Venable, from the committee of ele&ions, made a further report refpefling the ele&ion of Is rael Smith, ftatinj the number of votes in the towns of Hancock, and Kingston, and that it was by ac cident that the warrants of cle&ion were not sent to those places.

For fojne days it has been perceived that there is a revolution of opinion in the Council of five hundred and the Directory, that is to fay, a more profound refpeft for the Conflitution, for the veal public opinion, and a more decided aversion from those who would renew revolutions to the profit of anarchy or royalifm. Thus converts have bctn made already. Those who a fortnight ,ago would have gone to the Jacobins, if they had opened'their Club, are now forwifdemand moderation. (Perlet.) Envy, mediocrity, jealousy, and the jacobinism which detclls Pichegru, will repeat, that vidlory does not depend on a fwgle man : I hope so. But history teaches me that it may be dangerous to put it to the trial. It is not proved that without Vil lars, France would have beeq fa/ed at Denatn ; nor at jontenpy l without the Marchal de Saxe. I know the prodigies achieved by the enthusiasm arid bravery of our soldiers ; but 1 also know what can be eflfcfted by the name of a general cfitrifhed by ftis troops, dreaded by the enemy, esteemed by his rivals, and so oft<n crowned with viftery. I know that we fclicitate ourselves on the Court in trigue that occasioned the dismissal of Claiifayt, which also was called a resignation. I kt>o<v that the retirement of Pichegru will be a fubjedt of joy and hope to our moll cruel enemies at London and Vienna. 1 know that Germany blames the Empe ror for having accepted the resignation of Clairfayt. France will also blame the directory for having ac cepted that of Pichegru, unless it shall appear to have been determined by the molt decisive reafonj. The Directory, and more efpeeially Carnot, in whose hands the war departm*nt is particularly veiled ought to know that if, after tfye retreat of Pichegru, any miscarriages (hould happen, the whole of the responsibility will lie on the government; it will unquestionably in such a cafe be said—Why was this resignation accepted or called for ?—Perlet. 7 Germinal—'March 27. It was very well for Duplantcir, in his speech on the liberty of the prcfi, to affirm, that the revolu tion was finifhed, since we had a government or ganized, a constitution accepted, and a Dire&ory established on the principles of Republicanism. It is yet but the dream of a well meaning man. If the Revolution were indeed finifhed, woulcl there (till exist a system of conspiracy, as admirably planned, and as coolly prosecuted, as if Billaud Va rennes was the Director, and Fouquier Tinville the agent ? Would the prisons be crouded with unfor tunate men, who have for three months in vain de manded a trial ? Would the pro-consuls, Reverchon arid freron, have extended and prolonged those ar bitrary powers, which they derived not from the cooiluution ? Would they coutinue, in the present [ day, to set at defiance every choice made by the people, under pretext ot a ia w condcmaed by the conltitution ? Would ,t be permitted to suspend the power, of a reprefentat.ve of the people withou' «en a bearing ? Would they, in thebofom of the legislature .tfclf, propose penal laws, and those fom t.mes capital for the punishment of temporary l.nqUency ? Would they w.th so rouch l= vlty m ul .

From the contents of the last Pir!s Journals, we learn, that the Abbe Syeyes'is the leader of the Orleans faction. It is this faction which, step by Hep, has brought the Revolution to its pre fen t stage; it elevated Robespierre, and it defttoyed him. It was lately divided into tivo ptrts, the vi olent and the moderate. The latter are the ruling party, and ■the former, with Syeyes at their head,, dill retain the name. One of the Journals informs lis, that Letourneur indirectly menaced Syeyes to his face, on account of the movements of the violent Jacobins which he isTuppofed to direct. It is the Orleans fa&ion that contends for making the Rhine the limits of the Republic ; it is this fa&ion which the Government piincipally dreads, and in itrug gling with which it is supported by the great body of the people, vfrho have long been difpok'd in fa vour of moderation.
