The iitling ' ber spoke at confiJeiable Jengfh on the fiibjeft, giving'his reasons why the eletiioVi (boutd not be q ( set aside and Mr.-Swift replied, explaining the mo- 'gf tives which had influenced the dtcifion of the com- g n mittee of elections.

The house receded ftom their dis agreement to the amendment of the Senate, which, instead of making the five millions payable, after the year 1819, in Jive equal and fuccefftve annual ga injlalments, diredta payment to be made after that period, a t the pleasure of the United States, Ihe ai 1 committee consented to to the amendment of the Senate to (Irike out the latter part of the third clause, which directs that the 6 per cents stock to be created (hall not fell under par, on con dition of a reftri&ing clause being admitted, to pre vent more than a moiety of such (lock from beisg t j ' fold underpar. _ , b' This agreement of the committee occasioned considerable debate. The principle of felling any part of the 6 per cent. Stock under par was re- q probated by MefTrt. Swanwick, Giles, Havens, and y( ■ Lyman, as introducing a bad pradiiee into our si- 1 nancial proceedings, as it had been under- j flood the bank would be.fatisfied with two millions of dollars at present, there was no necessity for fel- u ling any part of the 6 per cent (lock under par, as > the two millions of bank (lock would doubtless fell above par, and would be equal to the fatisfying of r ? their present demands. But it was said by Mr. e - Gallatin, who was one ot the committee of con- t | t. ference, that he was unwilling to have fold any part of the 6 per cent (lock to be created, under j par, if it could have been avoided ; but gentlemen were mistaken with refpeft to the bank's being fa- £ tisfied with two millions at present. The commit- tee had been told by a gentleman in the Senate | (whom he believed was a direflor of the bank) f y that, if the bank (lock was not fold, and two mil ~ lions and a half of the 6 per cent (lock was permit-, j ted to be fold on the belt terms which COuld be ( got, the bank would be fatisfied ; but, otherwise ( - they must have the whole five millions paid them. The committee, theiefore, thought it best not to agree to any condition of the kind mentioned, but provide for the payment of the whole and this they ( j could not d 6 in any other way than- that proposed. t _ Mt.

A duel of a very extraordinary nature took plae* lately at Hamburgh between Gen. W. and Col I both officers of the Guards. It originated in a cJar' rell at > gaming-table. They went out to Lht with broad swords. At the lirll stroke col. 1. cut off three fingers of the right hand of general W. the matter ended there lor the present ; but it is fuppaleA that andther meeting will take place. An alteration, it isfaM, rt-ttrtake place in file dress of the infantry. Long coaw are to be wholly laid aside. Lieut. Pine, who so gallantly signalized liir.iftlf on the Battery of Hetqui, is the officer who some time ago preienred a petition to the Ring at Winc for, Hating the difficulty he expctiencei in being employed in the fervfce, owing to the loss tf hi» arm. The Matquis of CornwSllis is now making a sur rey of the potts edablilhed along the Kent «nd Sussex Coalls : He infpe&ed t>)e garrifan of Can terbury 011 Thursday, and on Fiiday proceeded to Dover. Mr. Pitt's intended tax on Legacies andTnheiit. . ances is nearly an cxaft copy of that impol'ed by Jugujius, when he edablilhed a permanent military , force for the defence of his Government and f r the extraordinary cxpenf.-3 of War. Gibbon, in L his.Roman Empire, vol. I. oft. ed. p. 263, fays, —♦'The pie revenue of the Excise, though pe culiarly appropriated to those ules, was lounj in adequate. 'Foiupply the deficiency, the Emperor fuggelled a new tax of live per eent, pujl legacies and Inheritances.; but the nobles of Rome were j more tv than of freedom. Their indignant muimurs were received by nugujiui with e his usual temper : he candidly referred the whole e business to the Senate, and exhorted them to pr - c vide for the public fcrvice by some other expediei t » of a less odious nature. They were divided and perplexed- He intimatetf to them that their oblli nacy-would oblige him to propose a general land tax » and capitation. They acquiesced in silence. The cevv imposition on legacies and inheritances wds however, mitigated by some rcftriftions—lt did not talte place unless theobjeft wasot a certain-.a -- lue, nor could itbeexafted Irom the reared of kin." The cenfequeuce of this law, however, was, that "in the course of two or three generations, the f- whole property of the fubjedi must have gradually passed through the,coffers of the date." r > The following very extraordinary circumfUnre took place, a few days, lince, »t Penfy, in Buck s') inghamftvire : —A fwao, while fitting oa her eggs, "» on the fide of the river, observed a fox fwimmirg towards her frota the oppolite ffiore, and rightly n " judging (he could encounter the enemy bed in her own element, indantly darted into the- water, and "xl having beat off the Xu* for.a cawi*4vMMe time with her wings, atiualiy succeeded in drowning him, to 1 a the adoniftiment of several persons, fps&ators of this Angular phenomenon. LONDON, April 5, We have mentioned that a Committee of gentle men had met at the London Tavern, to consider the didtcfied date of public credit, and that they were to meet Mr. Pitt.on thefubjedl as yeP.erday. Tic names of these gentlemen have been jathei in correiSly dated in til's and every other paper — The following is acorreft statement of the gentle men who formed the committee: Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON, Chair. Mr. Alderman Henderfon, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Alderman Lufhington, Mr. Inglis, and Sir James Saunderfon, Mr. Angerllein. Tile fuhjeft of the deliberations, and the repoit of the commi.le not being yet in that date ot ma turity as to be fit for publication, we are only p (l " mitted at present to date the general result ot the •rt. proposition which was yedtrdav submitted to Mr. , Pitt on the part of the Committee, who were with om the Minider near an hour and an half. In conle mc quence of the extended trade of .the countiy, a™ io the narrowed tin ulation of the bank paper, every for mercantile m tit has lately felt the greatelt inconve >od nience in carrying on his bufmefe, on aeconnt o cts the limitation which the bank has prescribed to 1 * sale fclf >n difroilViting hills. To remedy this ins'"- lar- venience, the committee have generally propof«<> iwn that a paper currency should be ifTued for a limitc for time, not exceeding one year, under the fandio" 0 lat parliament, aw j under the controul of 15 c cßin ™ •ionerii, iovvsrdi the aid of public crtdit ; and * lay, ,his paper, io issued, (hould be either payable at but fight (to co, which a fund should be raised) or b fJf rafc on iutereil, suited the holder. .
