The committee rose and reported the bill thus a
mended ; when Mr. Bourne, made a motion to
postpone the further confideratton of the fubjeft
till the firft Monday in December, on the gtonud
of giving- farther time fox cOnsidering the fubjeift, t | a
and because he thought some relief should be given
to those persons who were at prefe'nt struck out of
the bill. 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. The postponement was, however, (I|]
carried by a large majority. j-
The house went into a committee of the whole on
the bill to continue in force the the adis therein
mentioned, which they made one amendment in,

having the usual complement of dragoons instead
of two companies, and the House of Representa

A meflage was received from the Senate infor- P

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 (

to an examination of the merits ot the' contraS,

From the MINER VA.
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.
" Dear Colonel, g
la- " I hafteu to inform you of the good news which 1
es, prevails in this city. The Chouans and emigrants
>n- who were about landing when you left this country,
n; have met with three several defeats. There has
iu- been between 8 and 9000 killed, wounded, and
nd taken prisoners. It was announced last evening,
to thai Mentz was taken ; but the particulars not yet
of made known. The treaty between the Republic
and Spain is not yet concluded; thereafon is, that
!ng Spain will nut agree to give up Lonifiana and the
ely Florida!.—A reinforcement is ordered to the army
ind in Spain, under the command of general Keller- J
:en man, whefe patriotism you well know; lam going
on. as a volunteer aid to him—l dined at his house yef
ary terday, in company with five of the deputies; Mer
-1 use lin of Douay, and Pilet, were of the party. The
ler. general introduced the fubjeft of Louisiana and the I
r. Floridas; Merlin expressed himfelf in the warmest
pa- manner in favor of the plan you proposed on your
la- firft arrival here and wished they had granted you t
the the supply you requested on your firft arrival. I 3
the breakfalted this morning with oar friend T. M. to 1
:11s. whom I communicated what passed yesterday—he
the desired me to write to you immediately, so that
they might meet you at Philadelphia, before you
1 in set out for the western Country, knowing that this
rhe information might £e of service to our western bre
;ad- thren—He likewise desires me to call to your re
:rn- membrance, the flattering profpefts you had when
the you last wrote to the people of Kentucky, by Mr.
1— Adet.
the " Jay's treaty has just made its appearance here,
too and is generally damned with the ratifiers of it; and
mo- it is also generally thought,here, by men of infor
mation, that it will be the meansof breaking off all
:on- connection between the two republics. This you will
for also communicate to your weliern brethren, they
lere are the best judges what to d».
The " Paris is as tranquil, and provisions more plen
