The reason for taking the Council from
both branches of the Legislature, and not
trom the Senate 2lone, was to give to each
upon a 3 miniature {cale, a hand in the ap
pointment of officers, and to’ prevent the
mifchiefs which might enfue,were the Coun
cil composed of the whole, or a'greater part
of the Senate : for in such case the Council
could not be tried for mal conduét upon im
peachment, the Senate being folély invefled
with that ‘authority : the natural and obvi
ous consequences of such a 2 measure would be
toplace the higher Executive Officers beyond
the reach of impeachments’; and it is net
unnatural to suppose, that, tpon the rento
val of this check, they might ¢enture to pur
sue measures which when responsible for
their condut,they would not dare to attempt.
Besides the reasons before assigned it may ea
sily be discovered, that 2 Scnate, with such
additional powgrs, would soon 2cqnire undse
inflience over the otiier branch of the Ls
giflature ; and in time either wholly absorb;
or render it'of Mitle imporfance in the po
litlcal feale’ e furne s S i
To avoid these evils, and to'comply with
the sentiments exprefled in the returns from
2 great number of towns,we were led to adopt
the before mentioned mode; but at the fame
time were not insensible; that such arrange
ment is liable to many objedions * That, in
this way, the powers of Goversment must
be blended, and their independency on ezch
other in some degree defiroyed @ but as our
former fentitients in thils refpeét have not
been adopted by the people, we drenow ¢n
der the neceflity of proposing the only re
maining plan,which{as men of integrity,in
trufted by you withthis important charge,and
as men equally interefled witd yourselves in
the event)we can with fincerityrecommand,
The Convention have deterniined that, at
their meeting on the adjournment (which
will be on the fourth Tuelday of October
next) they will lodge the Execttive power
in the manner prescribed in this alternative,
provided a 2 majority of votes should then ap
pear in favgur thereof : but in case 2 majo
rity thould appear in favour of the mode pro
posed in thie last plan; o 5 any other, which
you yourselves may devifz, that mode will be
adopted by the Convention, and the Confli
tution flhbii&ed accordingly ; and in case
this alternative, or any new mode, should be
agreed upon,the Constitution will be altered
{o far, and no farther, than is necessary to
make the whole plan uniform, and consistent
with the necessary alterations. The Con
vention bave further determined, that, in
case 1 .perrsanent form of Government.
fhou'd then be adopted, tke present Confif- .
tution shall remain ir__) full force, until the
officers, under the new form shall be invefled
with their refpeétive trufis ; and that, in the
mein time, the members of Assembly under
the present Government, shall make all the
necefiary arrangements for introducing the
new Constitution zt the time, and in the
manner, therein prescribed. b
The general agreement of the people ref
pelting other .parts of the plan § th? oppor
tunity PEACE affords for cool and dispassio
nate, consideration ; the advantages, which
yeall fefult from 2 regular and permanent
form of Government, animate the Conven
tion to persevere, and give the mofl flatter
ing profpelt of finding, at the adjourament,
a majority of votes, at least, in favor of one
or other of the plans now proposed ; and of
their having the {atisfaction of Being’ inftru
m-=ntal in eftablithing a political Confiituti

That{day foms lstters were received frem Brofiels,

commited several adh of hoftilitics on the frontiers.
Thae famioe that now ragss in the Carnaiic. is of
fufuitcly more alarmisg & aatare than people are

fumine which carried off two milliens.of pecple a
few yeari ago in Bengal : For there is great room
_for appreheading that the famine wili produce & pef.
ctilerce. Every morsirg exhibits the most shacking
{pedtacles round Macras ; the high roads rouand the
town are {t-ewed wiih dead bocjes; and from ths
~e2ceflive heat of the climate, and the consequent pu
tref.&ion of thele bodies, there is every thing to ba
apprehended by those whom Providerce ‘may hevi
"placed out of the reach of one dreadful scourge, ia
order that they might fall by another : But as if fs

the poor Indians, the calamities of war are fupesaded,

Carnatic is nearly-ruined ; Bengal is, very little able
