The house of reprezentatives consists of one hundred and eighty-two members. So that the whole number of senators and representatives amounts to two hundred and eighteen; which is also the number of the electors who are to vote for president and vice-president. On the fourth of March next, the seats of the present representatives become vacant. Elections have as yet been held in but few states, to supply those vacancies. As they occur they shall be regularly given. As far as returns are received, the result is thus:- city and county there is a federal gain since the last trial of strength there, of 3419! In the district of which Philadelphia is part, four members of congress are elected in the room of democrats, by triumphant majorities. Accounts from Philadelphia city and county, Delaware, Chester, and Berk's counties, give Isaac Wayne, the federal candidate for governor, a majority of about 1700, making a federal gain of probably 8000, in those counties alone. It is not improbable that Mr. Wayne is elected. From New-Jersey, the accounts are, that the legislature and governor will be federal. It is feared however, that the ongress ticket will be democratic.

There is one other docuiment which merits notice, as it will probably excite the party feelings of the legislature; it is this, that Mr. Monroe informed Governor Strong, that as the troops of Massachusetts are not placed under the control of continental or regular officers, the state must be respon-had been proposed by Gen. Cushing, to issue sible for their pay and rations. This is what we expected, maugre all the protestations of the Chronicle or Patriot writers, would be ampl "fed, paid and armed by the national government." MESSAGE. After I had left Boston, I received a letter from Major General Dearborn, who had succeeded Gen. Cushing as superintendant of this military district, dated on the 8th of July, in which by order of the president he requested me to detach eleven hundred of the militia to occupy the forts in the harbour of Boston and other points on the sea coast of the state. I immediately wrote to the adjutant general, requesting hitu, if he could make such arrangements with General Dearborn as the necessary order making the detachment. A general order was accordingly issued for that purpose on the 18th of July. On the 4th of September I received a letter of that date from Gen. Dearborn stating that he had received information of the eneGentlemen of the Senate, and my's having taken possession of Castine with Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, a formidable force, and that it was not impro Since your late adjournment such import-bable his views might extend to our principal ant changes have taken place in the state of towns on the sea coast, and requesting me to our public affairs, and the war in which we order out for the service of the United States have been unhappily involved has assumed an two thousand infantry and two hundred araspect so threatening and destructive, that tillery of the militia of this state, exclusive the council unanimously concurred with me in of the town of Boston, for the defence of the opinion, that an extraordinary meeting of this harbour, town and vicinity; and the same the legislature was indispensable. numbers for the defence of Portland and its At different times, and for short periods vicinity, and the seaboard between Kennesome of the troops of the United States had beck and Penobscot Rivers; and two hundred been stationed within this commonwealth; infantry and fifty artillery from Kittery, Berbut most of them having been withdrawn for wick and York, to aid in the defence of the the purpose of aiding in the operations against harbour and the public ships in the harbour Canada, it was found necessary in the course of Portsmouth. But such objections and comof the late session of the general court and plaints had arisen in executing the general aftermards, to call out a number for the pro-order of the 18th of July, and the whole numtection of the most exposed places on our inaritime frontier, and to furnish their inhabitants with such other means for defence as the circumstances of the state would authorize. Brigadier General Cushing, while he was superintendant of this military district, informed me that he expected an order from the president of the United States to request a detachment from the militia of this commonwealth for the defence of the sea coast, and particularly of this town; and stated that the number of the United States' troops in the two forts in this harbour was not more than sufficient to man one of them. He proposed that one of the forts should be occupied by the militia, and agreed that when called out they should be subject to the command of no officer of the United States army, except the superintendant of this military district. Though it was supposed that in ordinary cases the militia were not liable by the contitution to do garrison duty in the forts of ber proposed to be called out was so great, cerning the capture of Eastport and Castine, and other hostile events which have taken place in the eastern part of the state since the capture of Eastport, and also a letter from the governor of Rhode-Island and the zeply to it, will be laid before you by the secretary. the more valuable those interests are the TRIUMPHS OF DEMOCRACY. In the defensive measures which have been democrats, the distressing mode of warfare If we may judge from the conduct of the adopted, and which for the most part have adopted by our eneiny on the coast, is far been under the immediate direction of the from being to them a cause of regret. On the Commissioners for the defence of the sea coast, contrary, it affords them nothing but exulta we have been solicitous to avoid unnecessary tion and triumph. In the first place, they flatexpense. But the apprehensions of an at- ter themselves, that it will bring all the peotack on every part of our coast, and the press-ple to unite heartily in supporting the waring calls for the means of defence from the exposed towns through an extent of five or six hundred miles, have made it necessary to call out a greater number of our militia than have been in service at any former period. It is an obvious reflection that the limited sources of revenue which the state has retained in its own power bear no proportion to the expenses hereby incurred, and if those efforts are much longer required, the state will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to provide even in the first instance for the requisite expenditures. By a law of congress passed at their late session, it is enacted, that in addition to the officers of the militia which had before been provided for, there shall be to each division, one division inspector, and one division quarter master, and to each brigade, one aid-decamp. But no provision has been made directing the manner in which those officers shall be appointed. that amidst the bustle of preparation, the 66 In the next place, they think, it is now de The situation of this state is peculiarly dan-monstrated, that all they said about the joy of gerous and perplexing.

Subtle and insinuating in policy, as it was resistless in force, no art could evade, no strength withstand it. It palsied, ere it struck the miserable victim of its ambition. It is only necessary to state clearly this reasoning of the democrats to show how absolutely absurd it is. Our enemy is to be subdued by running with all our might to fall upon a few hovels in a cold and barren province, while we leave all our commercial establishments, our magnificent cities, the shipping of the north, and the rich produce of the south, exposed to any depredations he may think proper to commit with a fleet that commands the ocean!-For it should be ob invasion not an ariny like that we now have, but one raised in some other and more effectual mode, to consist of forty or fifty thousand men. From the New-York Herald. It is a third source of gratification to the democrats, that the appearance of so large a force upon the coast furnishes new and very plausible ground for defending their favourite plan of carrying the war into Canada. Many served, that it is proposed to employ in this of their prints have advanced this idea with | an apparent confidence of its obtaining the assent of all parties. We shall notice only one. In a late Richmond Enquirer, one of the most respectable papers of that party. appeared an article, evidently written by no ordinary hand, in which the writer thus expresses himself:-" But the best means of defending our towns on the seaboard, is to carry the war into the enemy's country"—"That the chemy would despatch their troops to the defence of Canada, we can have no doubt, when we recollect the interest which they have in that quarter, the fur trade, the influence which they would maintain over the minds of the Indians, the slender ties which they have to the allegiance of the Canadians themselves, i wounds which their pride would receive from the loss of their provinces." British opinions respecting American Fedsralists. The following article we have copied from the Acadian Recorder, a pure English paper without any American feelings about it, and which undoubtedly speaks the sentiments of the British naval and military officers who support it. For the information of the public, it may not be amiss to inform them, that all the papers of Halifax, except the Recorder, are published by natives of America, men, who though true to their king and country, yet have no particular enmity to the people of the Now, all this may be very good reasoning, but United States.
