CONGRESS. ir
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Frid.ay, May 27. f<
A message was received from the President of the c '
United States, reforming the house, that he had r i
approved and fignedan aft altering thetime of hold- J
ing the Dillrift Courts, in the State of Vermont and p
Rhode {(land, an aft relative to quarantine ; an
aft for eltablrlhing new ports of entries, &c. and n
*n aft altering the compensation of tha Accountant a
of the War Department.
A meflage was received from the President in- 0
forming the house that the President had approved f
andligned an aft oiiginating'in their house refpeft- t
ing the mint. >
Messrs. Thatcher and Van Alen presented peti- y
tions in favor of the Britilli treaty. t
The bill providing pafTports for ships and vessels
of tlve United States, was read the third time and i
patted. t
A bill from the Serrate for laying out into one t
State the whole of the territory louth of-the riv*r O- x
hio, ceded by North Carolina to tlie United States t
was read the firft time. <
Mr. Macon moved to reject this hill, as being (
predicated on directly opposite ground from thkt on ;
which the house had come to a resolution to admit 1
the South Weilern Territory as a state into the u- 1
nion. This called forth coftfulerable debate; but ]
those who were averfc to the bill, expressing a wi(h (
that the bill might have a fecono reading, in order \
to be diCpofed of, the motion of reje-lment was put
and loll; when, on motion of Mr. Giles, the bill <
together with the meflage of the President relative j
to this fubjeft, and the refoUition entered into by j
that house, were ordered to be referred to a feleft
committee of five members.
Mr. W. Smith from the committee appointed to
confer with the Senate on the fubjeft of their dif
agrecment on the bill regulating the compensation
of clerks, reported that the committee on the part'
of that bouse had receded from their amendirtint,' i
(which was to allewa hundred dollars a year to foch*
of the clerk* in the office of the Secretary of the. )
Senate, and Clerk of the house of Reprefeotatives
as may be employed the whoJe year,} The house
agreed to the report.
Mr. W. Smith also said, that the Committee
of Ways and Means had direfted'him to report
- the following relulution to the confederation of the
house : v *
" Resolved that provision ought to be made for
the appointment of an agent or commifiioner to Su
perintend the foreign expenditures of the United
States, if the President of the United States /hall
find it nectiTary such agent or commif
iioner."
This motion occasioned considerable debate. It
wasafleited in support of it, that the Secretary of
the Treaftiry Hated that such an agent was ne
ceflary to tranfaft our money concerns in Holland,
which was at present done by merchants residing
there, who hod an interest opposite to that of the
United States. It was on the contrary urged, that
if such an agent was sent to Holland, he would still
have to employ merchants to tranfaft a buiinefs vw'th
which he would be totally unacquainted; that it was
the iittereft.of such an agent as much as it was now
the interest of the Dutch merchants to keep up the
foreign debt (contrary to thewifh of government who
were defnous of changing their foreign to domestic
debt) becanfe when it was done away 'his office
would cease; and that our miniftrr at the Hague
■ might as well tranfaft the buiinefs witLthe mer
chants at Amsterdam, as any peifon sent for theex
prefs purpose.
The motion was negatived ; and then Mr. Ma
con moved that the farther consideration of this
question should -be postponed till the firft of Decem
ber next, which was carried by the yeas and nays
being taken (on . motion of Mr. W. Smith J as fol

On motion of Mr. Christie, the house resolved
. itfelf into a eommittce of the whole en the bill for
the relief of John Sears which they agreed to. It
- was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to
: day ; which it afterwards received and palled.
On motion of Mr. W. Smith, the house resolv
ed itfelf into a committee of the whole on the re
part of >he committee of ways and means relative
to appropriations for the military and naval eftalniftt i
ments, and for the payment of military pensions, v
and came to the following resolution
Resolved, that there otight to oe appropriated
for the year 1796, for the milftary establishment in
chiding the film already appropriated by law, du- I
ring the present year dollar? j sot she naval <]
department, dollars ; aud for the military r
pensions, * dollars." 0
The house agreed to the resolution, and the com- c
mittee of ways and means wera directed to bring in (
accordingly.
The house took up the consideration of the report (
of the committee of elections on the petition of p
Matthew Lyon, complaining of an und.ue elec- 1
tion' and return of Israel .Smith j and the chairman <j
t*\Ke fcommiltee offering a resolution to the house, c
y >cjaring theetc&ion void, on motion the decision of
tSe house was postponed till to morsow.
On motion of Mr. Claiborne, the fioufe formed
itfe'f into a committee of the whole oiv the repo/t e
of the committee of claims on the petition of A- f
mey Dardiu, who prayed for compensation for a v
Very valuable horse which had betn impressed during I
the war. The report was against the petitioner, p
on the ground of the aft of limitation barring the t
claim. Tile cafe appeared a hard one, as a widow a
and orphans were in want of the money.; and le- c
veral ttfeffibers having that application n
had been made before the aft of limitation took t
place, preof of which could be substantiated, the r
committee rose, and the papers were recommitted t
to the committee of claims.
The house went into a committee of the whole t
on the bill to fatisfy 1 the claim of Baron Steuben, j
which having agreed/ to, was ordered to be*en- t
grafted for a third reading to-morrow. (

POLITICS WITH NAPLES,
[Entradted from the French Journal l'Asu des |
r\ n T9 , V, ■ Loix.J 1
" The kingdom of Naple9 is the mod confide- (
rable and .powerful (late in Italy, and, compriling
Sicly, ha« nearly fix millions of inhabitants, thirty (
four millions of livres of revenue, thirty thousand (
soldiers, a marine force of twelve fail of the line or (
frigates, and a very active commerce. The circum
ference of the kingdom is about 1400 Italian miles
—so that it has more than 400 leagues of coast, .
which is protested by twenty fortified places, and
3ooredoubts disposed at equal distances upon the |
shore where a descent might be attempted ; thus (
the country can with ease be .defended. ;
" The city of Naples, 350 leagues distant from (
Paris contains r.early foer.hundred thousand fouls ; (
the port is small, but the road is very good. It
ean hold four three deckers, and twenty frigate*, or ,
tartans. Trade, the military service, and public
wot (hip are almolt all in the hantfs of foreigners ;
the tnafs of the people, furnamed the Lazaioni, is
eflimated at 50,000, all devoted to those who pay
them ; niore than once have they shook the Throne.
Tbfc Commercial productions of Naples conlift in
essences, soaps, artificial flowers, confectionary,
4ried catgut, vermicelli, lilks, and Spanish
fnuff.
Sicily is justly called -the granary of Italy : it is
sixty miles long, and forty broad ; contains ?. mil- 1
lion of inhabitants, and several commodious ports. :
It produces corn in great abundance, and excellent
wines j its principal traffic consists in fjlk, honey,
wax, fngar and woolthere are gold, silver, and
iron mines, precious ttones of allkinds, and very tine
coral is caught on the coast.
" Naples and Sicily would be the most delightful
plftcesof abode in the world, if they were not con
tinually threatened by earthquakes, and the fetal
eruptions ot Vesuvius and
" The king of- Naples is so influenced by his
wife, filler to Marie Antoinette and Joseph the 2d,
that be knows no other interests than those of Au
stria. 'He would never aecede to the Family Com
pact ; and he prefers incurring the displeasure of
the .king of -Spain, his father, by prefefving his
Prime Minister, Acton, the sworn enemy of France
and Spain, and so attached to the Imperial and Bri
triik Courts, that he has induced the King to grant
them free admission into all his ports, and to furnifh
. them daily with all polfible afliftance in troops
• tuquey, and provifiens. He is ode of our most bit
ter enemies.
" In this state of things what ought France to
do ? ■
" She ough: to unite with the king of Spain,
now become her friend and ally, to force the King
of Naples to throw off the Austrian yoke ; to en
gage the queen to confinc herfelf to the care and
education of her children ; to ditmifs the Minister,
A6ton ; to replace him by a Spanish minister ; and
finally, to make a eommon cause with the French
Republic, Spain and Sardinia. These four powers
adtuated by the fame fptrit and wiH, would acquire
that confeqaence, crcdit and pre eminence that are
due to thein."
AN IRISH LEGACY.
- On the iftinft LordVifcountO'Neil presented a
petition to theHoufeof Lords, Ireland, from the
iruftertof Mr. Hutchinfon, of the Inner Temple,
praying to have a bill for regulating the re
posed in them. The following singular circum
itances were dated by the Lord Chancellor:
Mr. Hutchinfon had bequeathed fifteen thousand
pounds to ptirehafe an eftatc, fiom the issue of
jjfhich. his relations »f every the molt remote de
btee, were to have annuities ; the lowest five, aud
the ten pounds. A Master in Chancery
was authorised to call upon the claimants by a pub
lic adveitilement, to pioduce their claims, which he
• did ; and a northern attorney publilhed, at the
fame time, an advertisement in a Beltalt newspaper,
d offering, for a (hilling each, to eftablilh a right of
)r inheritance. The consequence was, that there were
It sixteen thousand claimants of five and ten pounds
:o annual produce ; and the Matter in Chancery ap
plied to the Lord Chancellor to make such a par
v- tition, which not being poflible, he had recom
e- mended an application to the legislature. The
re principal objedt of the bill was to limit the right of
inheritance to the sixth degree of affinity, nrhiclv
was the limitation of the canon law.

Intereftiug particulart of Madame La FjlTbttf.
A little work by a M. Marchena, lately publifti
ed in.Germany, under the title of " Qnelques Re
flcftions iur les Fugitifs Francais,'* has produced a
very considerable sensation. ft is spoken ofbyM.
Arcbenholtz. the author of Minerva, with high
praise. After making a very jull diflindtinn be
tween those emigrants, who, animated by foolilh
ambition, and blind attachment to the ancient fyf.
tem, fled only to stir up foreign powersagainft their
native land, and those men who fled only to save
themselves from the horrors of the mountain, he
makes a very sensible reflection on the pr#fent pof.
ture of things;
<" In the mean time the war against France,con
tinues without interruption. The united powers
perfifl in thefr projects against the French revolu
tion ; some of its firfl and mod illustrious authors

holtz.) reft rain me from faying ;>!<- f«. t |
the fubjeft ; but there rs one fadt which 1 ought- .
to reveal for the fake of every feeling h.art:
»» The journey of Madame de la Fayette to Vi
enna, was mentioned in the .journals in the month of
October lait. The Emperor gave het a kind re
ception, and permitted her to go to 0!r»u:z, to
attend her husband and t» fbfteo his doom. She
flew thither, and arrived with her two daughters,
the one 18, the other 16 years of age. They were
all searched with the mod scrupulous care, ami then
thrown, as if they had been malefactors into the
depth of the dungeon, where M. de la Fayette was
immured ; and, from that moment to the prefeut,
the fate of that unhappy man has been theirs 1
deprived of exercise, of air, of all communication
with the living, this virtuous lady and hertwo
beautiful daughters find the fame horrors in Germa
ny, which they fuffered uwdcr the irons of the Ja
cobins in' France ! What a fate irtheirs 1 Madame
de la Fayette, after 18 months of the -moll cruel
imprisonment in Paris;.after Laving by a miracle
escaped the fcaffold upon which ail her family weie
immolated, -she traverses the fca to Hamburgh, ar
rives at Vienna, is favourably received hy tin- Jvo»-
.ppris-. a—fan^iand finds
herjelf plunged to the bottom of a dungeon !
" Surely this tnuft be wit hoot the knowledge
of the Emperor: but this adt of barbarity is com
mitted under the name of a prince with the warm
afTedtious of a youth, and who enjoys the character
of humanity 1"
The German writer concludes with a generous
lentiment : " How djfmal, then, is the deitiny of
-sovereigns ! they are always deceived ! The great
est talents, and the genius even of the Great Fre
deric himfelf, whieh embraced every thin*, could
not protedt him against this unhappy lot,

Qur convcrfation never flagged a moment ; and he
seemed thoroughly pleased with the place and with
his company. We had little politics ; though he
gave me, in a few woids, such a character-os Pitt,
I as one great mau should give of another his rival ;
1 much of books, from my own, on which he flatter

Nights : much about the country, my garden
(which he underflands far better than I do) and up
on the whole, I think he envies me, and would do
fa were he minifler. The next morning I gave
i him a guide to walk him about the town and coun
try, and invited some fompany to meet him at dm

to Bern and Zniich, and I have heard of him by
