By the SENATE, November 28, 1800. WE return to you the bill, entitled, A supplement to an act, entitled, An act to establish a bank, and incorporate the subcscribers thereto, with the expectation that on reconsideration you will pass it. We originated it upon the information that great inconvenience is felt from the rotation of directors established by the twelfth section in the act of incorporation. Persons, after having gained experience, and conducted themselves with propriety, in the direction, have been dismissed, merely in compliance with that section. The selection of proper characters for directors of the three banks in the city of Baltimore, even in its most flourishing condition, occasioned no small embarrassment, which has been greatly increased by the number of late failures. If the bill should meet your approbation, the directors will still be subject to the control of the stockholders, who may displace at such annual election those directors whose conduct or circumstances might induce a majority of the stockholders to think a change expedient, and conducive to the welfare of the institution. By order, W. S. GREEN, clk. Charles Ridgely, of Hampton, Esquire, has leave of absence till Tuesday next. John Campbell and Charles Goldsborough, junior, Esquires, have leave of absence till Monday next. S A T U R D A Y, November 29, 1800. THE senate met. Presnet the same members as
