Mr. Swanwick opposed it, as he said the widows were in want of relief, and because a future j n bill might be brought in to afford compensation to the clerks who hod been happy enough to survive the calamity.

A committee of conference was accordingly appointed. The house formed itfelf into a committee of the whole on the letter and report of the Attorney Ge- j neral on the petition of John Cleve Symmes, & his aflociates, with refpeft to a contrast made by them 1 with the government of the United States in 1792. v By this contrast, a milefquare at or near the mouth f of the Great Miami river was reserved to the use of the United States, for the purpose- of erecting thereon Fort Wafhingtoti (which is said now to be ( in an imprepec situation) provided a law was pas- led within two years, from Sept. 30, 1794, author- ; ifing the President of the United States to locate the fame.

THE lettsr from Pans, recently published, fta tipg a p lot for involving this country in hoililities, has excited much public attention and many con ect ' jedures. The public, may doubt the information ; ne -i but we have good authority for believing it is au~ thsntic. The whole lliftory of French intrigues and TS ' influence in this country affords strong ground to believe the fads stated in that letter, independent of ' the authority of the writer. r 3 The firft object of those intrigues was to bring 7 * the government and the people of America entirely under the influence of the French—as Geneva and ~ Holland are. To effett this, evety art has been used to make our • people hate the Britilh nation. To accomplish the work, it was however neceflary to bring the United States to make a common cauje flew with France—this would have made a a mmon inter. mott cjl, and placed this country at the foot of France. :om- The p o i n ts of attack were to lijve beCn the Spa eice! "'ft pofleflions, Florida and Louisiana. Genet la -1 the bored this point—a very popular one among the rese- western people, as it led directly to give them the ■"'y • command of the Miflifippi. Hence Fauehet dwells. o " u e f " in his deleft ed letter, with peculiar force, on the com- opening the navigation of that river. ;ured The plot was thickened when the infurre&ion in ■if to Pennsylvania broke out. This was premature. The : Al- people there knew not the whole plot of their lead ers—but it was a great point to make our govern- ] P"° n ment odious, and the coiifpfrators made use of the ° nth e Excise for that purpose. The bait toak effedt— ri»cr, but the popular odium incieafed too fact for the ild he benetit of the general plut—the storm hurst too bouf!> soon. This disconcerted the leaders for a mo ment. to The crisis was important—what could the con -0• fpirators do ? Their plans were not quite ripe for execution—money especially was wanted. Here Fauehet's letter difelofes the whole secret. The question with the party was, (hall we avail ourselves Y • of the infuireftion in Pennfylvauia, spread the flame to Kentucky and all the western country, di fllb reft the whole force against the Spanish settlements [ phi! and open the navigation of the Miflifippi—declare :ional the western country independent, and place it under rurß " the protection of France or shall we not ? i' ,e p ian was ut t^c means wcrc want " the o- ing. s the The moment wa9 precious. They therefore had " ll4rs no alternative but to apply to Mr. Fauehet for, mo s'e" ney. Here is the whole myttery of the " few 'thine thousand dollars." The French minitler might not have known the jutended use of the money ; or he may have given the application the turn of a bribe. ry ' But the truth probably was—if Fauehet can flip l and ply money, we will foment the inlurredtton and cai jrfled ry our purpofesof invading the Spaniih settlements ; nine jf we must give.up the plan at present, turn . patriots, and aid in fupprefGng the ity . This clue will unravel the whole my ft cry of the ap. i'licstion for monty by the Ex fee ret a ry, not for lade ntnfitfy as he has averrtd, probably with truj!'.— info us will alio hccount for change of con- ferv dnft of the governor of Pennsylvania, icnrnediattly wen •titer the failure ps the application for money ; and Ker Ins " scandalous oflentation in support of govern- niftt rnent, ot which l'auchft complains. His corref- Y pandence with the Prefidentat that juncture, fhuws in o that he intended, by peifuading the President to now ( leave the rioters to the civil power, that the inft:r- conl teftion ftiould not be fupprefTed. But finding no try, I resources in Mr. Fauchet, and feeing the Preft- wh« I dent firm, he tacked about, and aided in fuppreffiog in rl ! "• mili . -Let any man read, in connection, the official pa- letti ( pers relative to the infurreftioh ; the relolves of fe- in si veral democratic societies in thV: western country, —— and efpfrcially of one in Kentucky, concerning the ( navigation of the Miffifippi, and tlifi; take Faucher'» ( letter as a key to the whole, and it is impofiible nor to fee an extenlive conspiracy, formed with great address, but int«;fded to carry into effect the valt project of invading the Spanish pofTeflions, con j queriujj ihem for the western country, detaching the [ whole from the Atlantic ftntes, erecting an inde- BA] » pendent republic on the Miflifippi, in close alliance f with and under the prote&ion of France. , It is well known, that Genet's agents eaily in- ]n^u lifted a body of troops for this purpose in the south- f ern dates. The spirit and firmnefs of the legifla e ture of South Carolina, in arresting Drayton and fei others, put a stop 10 that traiterous bufiaefs for a — 1 time ; but gen. Clarke with a small body of troops persisted in the plan till peace was proclaimed be- JVI tween France and Spain. These are public fads. * The Jesuitical doctrine of the " right of expatri- jfl ation," wasdiffufed in thistountry by Genet to aid tun ® the fame project. 1 " But theie is a private fact, that wjll (how that the u j. al c western infunAction was either a premature part of tro! the general plan, or at least that the leading confpi- 1 0 rators had it in contemplation on its firlt appearance I " to connect it with the general explosion. The fad . is this. 5 A gentleman, now a member of Cangrefs from e South Carolina, received a letter earfy in the time la of the infurre&ion, from an influential character at Philadelphia, who supposed that gentleman to be in his poli'iics. The tenor of the letter was to in e foim him that the infurre£Hon was or might prove £ but a part of a more general fermentation, and fug e gelling the propriety ofraifingan independent body • r ' of troops to a'ft as exigencies might require. The 0 suppression of so important a letter, or at least of. its contents, can be alcribed only to the general temper of riie Americans to conceal, rather than to cxpofe and bring to punishment, the crimes of their countrymen. " But we have more evidence of the intrigues car , ried on by some of our citizens and the French. It is taken from a letter published last October in Ken "e tucky, of which little notice has been taken, but which, if 1 am not much mistaken, difclofe6 some es important fafls.—lt is as follows : rn ' es Lexington, Oft. 27. s . e The following is an >extract or a letter from a -1 " gentleman is Paris, to colonel Fulton, who ar ut rived in-this town a few days ago, and who left Franc* but a.short time before the date of the let ter : •' Paris, July 5.
