REVOLUTION IN HARTFORD.
IT is worthy of note, that the city
of Hartford, (late of ConnedJcut, has
heretofore been reprcfented in her City
Council, by meu whose principles were
federal—we now fee the face of politics
reversed in that city. It is a notorious
fa&, that the under named gentlemen
have long since tfpoufed those principles
which lead to freedom and good order-
This ftrideof Republicaniftn far exceed*
our moft sanguine expeditions. We
may (hortly exped a llatement of their
state eledion—and, we 11 > uld not be
surprised if it terminates i.i favor of a
Republican representation. Perhaps,
there is no date in the union, in which
there is more electioneering squibs play*
ed off than in Connedicut—the papers
are generally crowded with them a
month previous to the eledion—incivi
duals lose no time in securing votes for
their party. Long has Connedicut
flood in the foremolt racks of fideralifm ;
long has (lie boailed of her afeendenev
over republicaniftn—her leaders have
boldly asserted, that the fun of federal
ifm continues to shine more brilliant;
but, we think its bril'ianry will soon
fade—it has arrived at its rfieredian—it
begins to fet—federalifm fejms to tot
ter—we difeover fnmething that makes
it tremble to its foundation.
The editor of the Connedicut Cou
rant, endeavors to palliate tor this flride
of n, by faying, that “ Fe
dera'ijls had rather life ,m elt’Rion th ;n

being more than Jixty federal freemen be.

It's natural fora partv, when over
come, to extricate themfdves on the

not think it confident to suppose that

tented themfdves at home on the day of

NINTH CONGRESS.
HO USE of REPRESENTATIVES.
IVednefday, April 2.
Fit. jf. Randolph ffated that an un
.'erltanding had taken place between the
nimtlcr of the public treasury, as to the
payment of claims of American citizens,
generally called Bordeaux embargo claims
(the payment of which had heretofore
t en ftifptndid) hy which it was agreed
ih it payment (hould be made at the
treasury of the United States. Under
extiling provisions, ibis authority did
not atch to th- treasury. He had,
therefore, been ’ t-v
’ lr.’ttfe of wayD and means, to present a
lil to give this power. He according
ly offered a bill supplementary to the ad
m kmg provision for the payment of
claims, of certain citizens of the H
j States on the government of Fiance,
which was referred to a committee of the
whole.
Mr. Farntim reported from the com
mittee appointed to enquire into such
measures as it is expedient to adopt for
the complete arming of the militia of the
Hinted States, giving a very interesting
detail of the extent to which the mili
tia are at present armed, by which it ap.
pears that there are in the hands of the
militia 250,000 fire arms, and 120,000
in the public magazines of the Hinted
States. The report recommends an
additional appropriation of 61,000 dol
lars toward the matiufafture of arms ;
which was fubfcquently introduced in the
military appropriation bill.
The house took up the unfiniffied bu
siness of yeftercay, being the report of
the committee of the whole, agreeing to
the following resolution offered by Mr.
sh. Randolph.
3d. Resolved, That provision ought
to be made, by law, to render an officer,
in the armv or navy of the united States,
incapable of holding any civil office un
der the H S.
Mr. Fisl moved to postpone this re
solution indefinitely.
This motion was supported by Mcffrs.
Fish, Elmer, and Cook ; and oppoled by
Mcffrs. J- day , J. Randolph , aud J.
C. Smith ;
When the question was taken by yeas
and nays, and the motion disagreed to—
Teas 4.3 —Nays 72.
The question was then taken by yeas
and rays, on concurring with the com
mittee of the whole in their agreement to
the resolution, and paffi-d in the affirma
tive ; 7*eas 94 ; Nays 2 1.
Mr. y. Randolph, from the commit
tee of ways and means, submitted a bill
fupp'emcntary to the adt making provi
sion for the redemption of the whole of
the public debt, with an accompanying
letter from the secretary of the treasury ;
which was referred to a committee of the
whole house on Monday.

THE Commander in chief, with deep
regrei, has to announce, the death of
M.jur General J IMtS JACKSJN,
who command’ and the fit ft dtvilion of mi
litia, and was one of the Senators, of this
flat e, in the Cong refs of the United
States.
This unfortunate intelligjncr was con
veyed to him on the 7th inst. by a loiter,
dated the 1 7th of last month, from the
general’s Colleague, the lion. Abtahatn
Baldwin, in the following words
“ The diftrefiing talk, which my let
“ ters have so long led you to txpeft,
“ is at length enforced upon me, ot an
“ noun ing to you the death of my be
“ loved and much refpefted Colleague
“ General Jackson. I have been wirh
“ him all night, arid elofed his eyes just
“ at the dawning of the day.
“ It is now more than twenty years
“ since wc have bten intimately aflocia
“ ted in the duties of public life. A
“ part of the duty which I feel to he left
“ to me is, to declare, that in ftcrling
“ integrity, and honest devotion to pub
“ lie good 1 have itever found his lupe
“ tior.”
Death has bereaved the state of a Ge
neral and a Statesman, who was no less
valient in the field, than eminent in the
cabinet. During our revolutionary war
in the days 0} peril, he exerted his utanoft
powers in defence of his country’s
rights, and performed afts of heroifm—
and in her councils both at home and a
btoad he advanced and supported the in
tercfl of the state with Item integrity,
undaunted perseverance, perspicuity of
mind and flow of eloquence. So great
were his public virtues that, from an early
part of his life, he held the firll and molt
dillingiufhed appointments, both civil and
military, in the gift of his state.
Toatteft thelofs Georgia has fullain
ed by the death of her beloved general
and patriotic and able statesman, who
yielded up his last breath from home and
in the service of his country, and to
manifeft the estimation in which his worth
and services are held by a grateful peo
ple, the commander in chief
