- HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES.
M FRIDAY DEC. 18.
R. Nichplfon reported a bill refpeding fu
gitives from justice, and performs escaping from
their matters. Read twice, and made the or
der of the day for Monday, f .
PRINTER to the HOUSE.
Mr Randolph of the Committee rclpeding
the printing business of the House ; reported,
that it was necULry that a Printer to the
House fhouid be appointed, who mould be re
sponsible for the faithful and prompt execution
of all business confided to him.
Mr. Griswold objected to any alteration of
the mode in which the printing bulincfi was
now done. If a printer should be appointed,
he will become an officer of the house ; he will
net'bc responsible to the Speaker. We have
officers enough already ; it is neadtefs to mul
j tiply.
Messrs. Nicholson and S. Smith thought such
an officer would be serviceable. Mr. N. ob
served, that the printing is said to be worth ।
4000 dollars per annum ; and that if a printer
Was appointed he would have every thing in
readinefs.^
Mr., Lowndes thought such an appointment
useless; andi
Dr. Euftis considered it altogether unneceffa-{
ry, disadvantageous, and troublefome.|
.The motion was loft—only 31 members rif
iug in favour of it.
Apportionment of Representatives. l
The House went into a committee, on thel
bill on this fubjed. Various opinions were ]
expressed by gentlemen of the ratio which was ]
to guide the apportionment; but it being f
mentioned, that there were errors in the re
, turns made to the Secretary of State, and that
the return of Tennessee had not been received ;
the Committee rose, reported progress, andl
alked leave to fit again. (

MONDAY, DEC. 21, lßot.
A bill was reported, and ordered to lie on
the table, refpeding the Congressional Library.
After traofa&ing feme private bufmefs. the
House went into Committee on the report re-\
fusing the right of the Miffifippi Territory
tu fend a deputy to Congress, and to examine '
the credentials of N. Hunter, Esq. A lengthy
debate ensued. 1
Gen. Smith offered a resolution to adjourn
from Dec, 24th, 18ci, to Jan. 2, 180, which
was ordered to lie on the table.

TUESDAY, DEC 22, 1801.
A bill refpe&ing the duty on drawbacks

for Jan. 4th.
STATE or the UNION;
The House went into Committee, when
Gen. Smith offered the following resolution :
“ Refolded, That it is expedient to fix the (
Peace eftablifhruent of the United ^tates." |
Doaor Euftis wished to know the present ]
Rate of the establishment.
Messrs. Randolph and Davis were desirous
to fee the report of the Secretary <f War, before 1
a decision should take place., 1
Mr. Griswold thought the resolution idle, 1
unlcfs referred to a fried committee. He wife (
ed to^cfer |he mattefruntil thfy should fee the
documents which accompanied the Prefident's <
meffege,'
Mr. Gregg hoped the Committee would (
not Fife. He held in his hand,three resolutions ,
—which he intended to offeft, relative to the]
Militia, Military Stores, and the Fortification
of Harbours. ,
Cen. Smith also hoped the Committed would f
hot rife. The foorier these tubj^^s were fee- 1
tied, the Better would the Committee of Ways^
and Means be able to complete the Appropria-;
tion Bill. T h e motion for the tiling of the
Committees as loft.
"MILITIA:1
Mr. Gregg's refoliation refpe&ng the Mili- ]
til was taken tip. ;It proposed efiviaing the mi- (
litia into two classes. After some modification;
of the refolntion, itwas adopted.
MILITARY STORES 1
A resolution to inquire what additions weref
neciffary to the dotes on hand, was carried.,

A refoltition for an inquiry on this fobjed^

The Speaker having relumed the chair-, the
resolution refrying the Militia was concur-:
red in: Those refpe&ipg Military Stores, and
Fortifications, on the fugged ion of Mr. Gtif- (
weld, who observed, that it would be difre
fpe&ful to the President to ad thereon, until
the publication, of his documents on the fub
were postponed ,Unhl Monday.j

Mr. Randolph offered a refofotion direding ,
the Setretov of War to lay before the Hotife a (

of the men requisite to garrison §hem.

®KaCCe anh
pending any large sum at once, as there are
Continually new books, maps, &c. published,
and there was the greater probability of being
able to procure the molt valuable publications.
Mr. Randolph talked much of old pra^ker,
practices of expending unneceff.irily &c .he
said that expedition was on tiptoe to fee the
new praaice;, the practices nffoving : for his
part he teas unwilling to expend the public
money, except in cases of absolute necessity.
Mr. Bacon., On mere principles of
cecohomy be woql.lleave it indefinite,
and a succeeding congress might di
minish or add to the sum to be annu
ally expended for the library, as they
pleased. He had not made a calcu
lation, but he believed the house ex
pended as much in deliberating, as the
ium about which they were contending
would amount to.
Mr. Bayard, in reply to Mr. Ran
dolph. As the gentlemen had talked
so much of the disposition of the house
heretofore to expend unnecessarily pub.
lie money, he wilhed he would specify
to what nieafures he alluded. It had
been common to make such charges
generally, he believed few dared fpecify.
For his part he believed he was anx
ious as any one to hold faft and tight
the purfeltrings of the public, he would
be as willing to curtail Executive pow
ers as any one: but if the gentleman's
principles are carried to their extent,
they should indeed spend but little. It
had been said we were the moll en
lightened people on earth : if that be
not altogether true, let us make it as
much so as possible.
Mr. Bacon was in favor of 1000
Dollars annually ; he tho't. it a mod
erate sum, and a necessary appropria
tion.
It was carried but for one year,
1000 dollars.
A petition was presented praying
for liberty to ere^ a bridge over tire
Patowmac, from the city 01 Washing
ton to Alexander's inland. Referred
to a committee. Adjourned.
Extras of a letter from the Secretary
qf State to William Eaton, Esq.
Consul of the U. States at Tunis—
dated,
DEPARTMENT of STATE,?
Wajhington, May 20, 1801. j
I HE proofs which have been giv
en, by the Bathaw of Tripoli, of hos
tile designs against the United States;
have, as you will learn from Commo
dore Dale, determined the President to
fend into the Mediterranean a squad
ron of three frigates and a sloop of
war, under the command of that offi
cer. Should war have been declared,
or hostilities commenced, this force will
be immediately employed in the de
fence and protection of our commerce
againQ the piracies of that regency.—
It is hoped that & contagion will not
have spread to Tunis and Algiers ; but
should One or both of them have fal
lowed the perfidious example, the cor
faifs will be equally repelled and pun
ished.
" The policy of exhibiting a naval
force on the coast .of Barbary, has
long been urged by yourblf and /be
other. Consuls. The present moment
is peculiarly, favorable for the experi
ment, not only as it is a provision a
gairift in immediate danger' ,but as
we are now at peace and amity witli
all the red of the world, and, as the
force employed would, if at home, be
at nearly the fame ex,ertce, with less
advantage to our mariners. The
Prefiderit has therefore eV ry reason to
expert the utmost exertions of your
prudence and address, in giving the
measures an imprefllnn most advanta
geous to the character arid intereffs of
the United States. IQ ^fe^i@ this
g§£& & means mufthe left, ii&
gr& degree, to your knowledge of
the local and other circtimftances,
which cannot be underwood at this
distance. You will therefore take due
pains to fatisfy the Bey, that the Unit
ed States are desirous of maintaining
peace with all nattonsrwho are willing
to live in peace ; that they have given
abundant evidence of their difpofitipn
to cultivate the ffiendfhip of the Bar
bary regencies, and himielf in particu
lar ; and chat if the flag of the United
States should be engaged in war with
either bf them, it will be a war of de
fence and necessity, not of choice and
provocation. You will alfo^ivc ever,
friendly explanation and arfurance on
this occafon, which may be reqynite
