Proceedings of Congress. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. OF THE UNITED STATES.
Thursday, January 21.
A MESSAGE was received by the President of the United States, by the Secretary at War, accompanied with a plan prepared by the said Secretary, for the general arrangement of the Militia of the United States, which was read and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Sedgwick, from the committee to whom it was referred to prepare and bring in a bill to make compensation for persons employed in the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations, reported one accordingly, which was read the first time.
Friday, January 22.
The Secretary of the Treasury, agreeably to notice given in his report on Thursday last week, laid before the house this day a report respecting the post office, received from the postmaster general, which being read, was referred to a select committee.
Mr. Sherman, of the committee of conference on the part of the house, brought in a report, which is in substance as follows: That the committee of the house and senate have agreed that the unfinished business of the last session, which passed from one house to the other, shall be considered as if it had not been acted upon. This report was laid on the table.
Monday, January 25.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, and after making some alterations and amendments therein, the committee rose, and the further consideration of the same was postponed till tomorrow.
Mr. Hartley, from the committee appointed for the purpose, presented to the house a bill for an uniform mode of naturalization, throughout the United States, which was read the first time.
A message was received from the senate by their Secretary, with a resolution, That the business unfinished between the two houses at the late adjournment, ought to be regarded as if it had not been passed by either, and requesting the concurrence of the house to the same.
A motion was made, that the house do concur with the senate in the said resolution, which was agreed to.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) moved the following resolution;
Resolved, That it be established as a standing rule of the house, that every future adjournment of congress for more than three days, shall be considered as a termination of the session, and that at the next meeting, the business, depending at the time of such adjournment, shall not be taken up, unless it be commenced de novo.
The consideration of this resolution was postponed.
Tuesday, January 26.
In committee of the whole, on the bill to provide the means of intercourse between the united states and foreign nations. This bill empowers the president to draw out of the treasury of the united states, a sum not exceeding forty thousand dollars, for the support of such persons, as he may find necessary and proper to employ in the intercourse between the united states and foreign nations; with a proviso, that a minister plenipotentiary shall not receive more than nine thousand dollars per annum, as a compensation for all his services and expenses, a resident, five thousand, a secretary, fourteen hundred.
Mr. Lee said that the word "annually," should be inserted after 40,000 dollars, which was agreed to.
Mr. Lee said that in his opinion the president's power to draw money from the treasury, should be, by and with the advice and consent of the senate; and
moved that the clause be amended so as to read agreeably agreeably his idea.
This motion opposed. It was said, it would interfere with and lessen the responsibility of the president: would tend to excite jealousies and parties in the senate; and might in its consequences counteract the essential interests of the united states. The president was restricted to a certain sum, which he could not exceed, and for the expenditure of which he must account. The appointments must be made by him with the advice and consent of the senate: and he might consult them in the appointment of the salaries: but it must be left generally discretionary with him, how much it will be necessary to allow in particular cases: for if his judgment were to be controuled in this point, or he were confined and limited, it was evident that embarrassments very probably would ensue especially as advances of money might be necessary in the recess of the senate.
LEXINGTON, June 14.
By a gentleman who arrived in town on Friday last we are informed, that five hundred families have lately arrived at Alexandria in Virginia from France, and are now on their way to settle on the North West side of the Ohio, at and above the mouth of the Sciota, on lands they have lately purchased from the united states.
By the same gentleman we are also informed, that there is every appearance of a famine in the Western parts of Virginia and of Pennsylvania, there being at present no grain of any kind to be purchased, and most families entirely without; he also says the crops of small grain have a very indifferent appearance, and if it should fail, a famine is inevitable.
MR. BRADFORD.
AS one design of your useful paper, is doubtless to convey useful knowledge to your Countrymen as there are a variety of cases, which do frequently occur in the practice of that useful art Surveying, which are attended with considerable difficulty to Tyros or such as are not perfect Adepts in the art: you are therefore requested to publish the following case in your paper requesting a solution by the ingenious for the improvement of learners. There is a vacant space of Land lying between old lines, and bounded by them on three sides, in the manner following (viz.) The first line of a great and indefinite length, runs North 75 Degrees West. The 2d line due north 480 poles and the 3d line North 60 Degrees East to a great and indefinite length. Now it is required to lay off 820 acres of land binding on the whole length of the second given line and so far on the first and third, as that a line parallel to the second, shall include quantity. The ingenious Mathematician who shall solve the above case, and lay down a clear, concise and certain rule to the Surveyor, to run the above mentioned closing line so as to include his given quantity, and a rule that will equally apply in all cases of the like nature, will much oblige the public in general, and in particular his very Humble Servt.
