For Mr. Gerry
For Mr. Gore
expected notice which you and they
have been so good as to take of the
United States and their minister. I
thank you in the first place, for my
couhtry, and I hope I shall not be
' fought very presumptuous if lead,
or even misled, by my wish to con
clude, that personal kindness may
have had some little share in prompt
ing your conduct on this occasion, I
venture to thank you for myself. I
trust, my Lord, it is scarcely neces
sary for me to say how sincerely I
join in the wish which has been so
well received by,the Noblemen and
Gentlemen here present, that there
may be perpetual good understand
ing between Great Britain and the
United States. An American mi
nister has in truth no merit in anxi
ously desiling cordial friendship
ivijh this country on terms consistent
with the honor of his own, and your
{»ordship will allow me to rejoice
Unit there do exist on both sides the
most powerful and obvious induce
ments to cultivate such friendship.
We need not trouble ourselves to
inquire whether it be true, as some
politicians have pretended, that in
terest is the only tie of sufficient
strength to hold independent nations
together as friends, for we are for
tunately bound in amity* by all sorts
tits, which I fervently hope we
shall not, even if it were possible that
we should be disposed, be strong
enough to break. No reflecting and
impartial man can doubt, that the
true interests of Great Britain & A
jutrioa arc compatible in all cases,
• the same in most. A liberal and
comprehensive view of these, can
lead to no other conclusion than that
-they are calculated to cherish and
• invigorate each other. But a sense
• of this compatability and identity of
• interests, effectual as it ought to be
, in communicating a character of
. steady friendship to our relations, is
not the only pledge of harmony be
tween us for a thousand kindly in
fluences, with which calculation has
no concern, combine to form an aux
iliary pledge, little inferior in strength,
I should hope, far superior in mo
ral beauty, I am sure, to the other.
These influences, my Lord, it would
.be a pleasing, & perhaps not unpr
ofitable task to review in detail,
i and by reviewing, to give them
.- freshness and augmented activity
| for the noble and salutary purpo-
• ses of peace and kindness. But I
have already trespassed too. long on
.• your indulgence, if indeed, I have
not trespassed upon that discretion
r which so emphatically becomes my
» situation. I beg leave to drink the
health of your Lordship, &c.

An Austrian Courier^ proceeding

A gentleman who left Savannah
on Thursday, has favored us with
the papers of that place to the 19th
instant inclusive ; and several New-
York and Baltimore Gazettes of re
cent dates. From these we have
extracted the very late and impor
tant news contained in our paper of
to-day; the article from the London
Chronicle relative to a Treaty be
tween the United States and Great
Britain, we are informed, is corro
borated by private letters received
in Savannah.
The ship Cincinnatus arrived at
New-York on the 13th inst. in 30
days from London. Bv this arrival
London dates to the lOth March
have been received. It will be seen
by the extracts which follow, that
there is every prospect of a speedy
adjustment of all differences between
the United States and Great Britain.
The following article from the
London Morning Chronicle of the
7th ult. is believed by the passengers
in the Cincinnatus, to be correct:
It is very currently reported
that the negotiations which have for
some time been conducted by the
Marquis Wellesley and Mi. Pinkney,
have happily terminated in an amica
ble adjustment of the differences be
tween this country and the United
States of America. The John
Adams frigate has been detained to
carry out the Treaty, which will not
be made public until the ratifications
are exchanged. It is said that the
despatches of the American minister
are to be forwarded to the frigate
to-morrow.”
The frigate John Adams it was
supposed, sailed from Portsmouth
on the 13th of March, for America,
to touch at Havre for a Bearer ol
despatches. The Juno, Bates, with
duplicates of Mr. Pinkney’s des
patches, sailed about the same time
ior Boston.
It was said in England that no
minister at present would be sent out,

SUMMARY VIEW OF THE PROCEED
INGS OF CONGRESS.
SENATE—The Senate have con
curred in the Resolution from the
House of Representatives for ad
journment on the 23d inst.—Ayes,
23,—Noes 7. The Senators from
this state voted irt the affirmative.
We may conclude, that Congress
adjourned yesterday. Mr. Giles on
the 6th inst. submitted the following
resolutions for consideration :
Resolved, That a committee be ap
pointed to inquire into the expedien
cy of providing by law for appropri
ating certain waste and unappropri
ated lands, to satisfy bounties d ue from
the state of Virginia, to. the officers
and soldiers of the line of that state,
and to the marines thereof; and if
deemed expedient, to designate the
said lands by law.
Resolved, That a committee be ap
pointed to inquire into the expedien
cy of extinguishing the Indian claim
to lands within the boundaries of the
state of Kentucky, and of confirming
the titles of all locations, lor military
services, therein made ; and that the
committee have leave to report by bill
or otherwise^
These resolutions were taken up
on the following day, and agreed to.
A bill to enable the people of the Or
leans Territory, “ to form a consti
tution and state-government, and for.
the admission of such state into the
Union, on an equal footing with the
other states,” was read and passed
to’a second reading. The bill regu
lating the Post-Office department was
passed with amendments, one of
which deprives Post-Masters of the
privilege of franking. (This privi
lege is almost the only advantage
derived by many post-masters from
their office : It is the abuse* and
not the use of franking that should,
we presume, be prohibited.)
House of Representatives.
7th April.—The House agreed to
meet at 10 o’clock for the remainder
of the session. A bill was reported
by Mr. Eppes and twice read, au
thorising a loan of a sum ol money
not exceeding the amount of the pub
lic debt, reimbursable according to
law during the present year.—Mr,

On the 21st ult. the governor gene

been printed, published and circula

according to thejdisseminated at a very great cxpence,

number than could be accommodated
within these walls, and a greater bo
dy of men than could progress with
the business of this House.
Alter the census shall be taken, the
amount in each state ascertained, and
the fractional numbers known, it will
