DescriptionHe has received by last post Gates' letter of the 27th ult; the ferment on the subject of Gates' society, [The Cincinnati] seems just becoming general; they write from Virginia that it works high there, the division being precisely civil and military; will not presume to send foreign news from Annapolis to Philadelphia; Congress expect to adjourn on June 3; they have passed the estimate and requisition for the year, and some recommendations to the states to vest Congress with so much power over their commerce as will enable them to retaliate on any nation who may wish to grasp it on unequal terms, and if expedient to pass something like the British navigation act; report seen by Gates in public papers of committee's report, erroneously styled an act of Congress, for dividing the western country into new states, was recommitted, paragraphs of names struck off, principles of government somewhat varied and the act then passed; foreign treaties of commerce occupy them at present; thinks he will come to Philadelphia ere long.
