The Trefideaft boufe and public of.
fees in the Federal Citv, we under
lUnd, are rapidly progieffing, and the
capitol may also be completed before
the next meeting of Concrete ; the
rbof being on and floor# and plaiftering
only wanting. Gen# Walkingtort has
commenced two hoofe# near the capi
tol, not to benefit or accommodate him
fef, but to aid in preparations for the
reception of Congress in 1800, or be
fore if neteffary.
It is pleating to find that experience
has justified the (election of a central
sott or the metropolis of this ektehfive
empire, remarkable for the falubriry of
ib air, the purity of its water, and the
cheapnefs* of provifion# and fuel; aod
that whilst the yellow fever ftaiki with
defolatiag ft ride* in some of the prinei,
pal towns of the Union, the Federal Ci
