CONGRESS [OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, February 23.
An engrossed bill to revive and continue in force an act in addition to an act entitled "an act in addition to an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of the United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen," and for other purposes, was read a third time and passed.
This bill contains an honorable donation of land, equal to the quantity allowed to an officer of the same grade, to general la Fayette.
Mr. Nicholson presented a memorial from James Strawbridge, agent of the Tennessee company, offering certain propositions of compromise with the United States.
Referred to the committee of the whole to whom was referred a bill for the settlement of claims of lands south of Tennessee.
Mr. Randolph, from the Committee of ways and means, reported a bill authorizing the transfer of the duties of the supervisor to any other office.
Referred to a committee of the whole, to-day.
The house went immediately into a committee of the whole on the bill.
Mr. Varnum in the chair.
Mr. Randolph explained the object of the bill, by stating that it had been introduced in consequence of an application from the Treasury department. It was considered that in those districts where the collection of the internal taxes was nearly completed, and where the supervisor, may, from the smallness of his commission, be unwilling to discharge the duties of the office, they might be transferred to some other officer of the United States who might be willing to undertake to discharge them. In cases where the compensation will be extremely small, it is proposed to allow a salary not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars.
Mr. Dana suggested the propriety of limiting the transfer of duties to officers employed in the collection of the customs.
Mr. Griswold moved to limit the power of the President to the appointment of revenue officers.
On this motion a short conversation ensued.
Those in favor of the motion thought it proper for the legislature to designate as closely as practicable the description of officers from which the President should be empowered to nominate those to whom the duties of supervisor should be transferred; while those against the motion remarked that authority to appoint any officer would be safely vested in the President in a business of so trifling a nature, and that convenience would result from not abridging the field of choice.
The amendment was lost without a division.
The committee rose, and reported the bill; and the house immediately took it into consideration.
The Speaker put the question on engrossing the bill.
Mr. Griswold observed that in all instances where monies of the United States were received, bonds had been required.
In this bill there was no such provision. He was against such an innovation, & must therefore vote against the bill.
Mr. Randolph replied that marshals, and other officers, on whom these duties might be devolved, did give security for the faithful performance of duty. The duties of supervisor, when transferred to them, would be their duties.
This was contested by Messrs. Griswold and Henderson.
Mr. Nicholson moved an amendment requiring bonds to be given, which was carried without a division, when the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Nicholson called for the order of the day on the bill to regulate the grants of land south of Tennessee.
Mr. Bayard called for a resolution on making an indemnification for French spoliations.
Mr. Thompson called for the bill for the government of Columbia.
The house agreed to Mr. Nicholson's motion, and went into a committee of the
whole; Mr. Varnum in the chair, on the bill for regulating the grants of land south of Tennessee.
The bill corresponds, in its leading features, with the report of the commissioners, inserted heretofore.
Mr. Israel Smith moved an amendment to the 1st section reinstating the claimants under the company of military adventurers in lands held by them under Great Britain.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Israel Smith, Griswold, Dana, and Bacon; and opposed by Messrs. Nicholson, R. Williams, Meriwether and S. Smith.
The amendment was lost, Ayes 14.
Several amendments were then made in the details of the bill.
Thursday, February 24.
A letter was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, inclosing a report of the enrollments of the officers employed in the customs.
Also from the same department, an account of the receipts and expenditures of the United States for 1801.
Mr. Gregg reported a bill in addition to an act regulating the grants of land to refugees from Nova Scotia, &c.
Read twice and ordered to be engrossed to-morrow.
The house took up the amendments of the Senate to the bill amending the act for the military establishment.
The amendments are, a new section authorizing the employment of one officer and eighteen men, to make practical experiments; and allowing 3,000 dols. instead of 2,000 dols. for clerk hire in certain offices.
Amendments agreed to.—Ayes 33, noes 23.
Mr. Thompson said there was a long bill for the organization of the Militia of Columbia, which had been referred to a committee of the whole. From its great length he was apprehensive unless some other disposition were made, there would not be time to pass it through both houses. As it was indispensable that something should be done, he hoped it would be referred to a select committee other than that which had reported it, on whose report it might be engrossed for a third reading.
Agreed to, and referred to a committee of seven.
An engrossed bill authorizing the transfer of the duties of Supervisor to any other office was read a third time and passed.
The house took up the amendments reported by the committee of the whole to the bill regulating the grants of land, & providing for the disposal of the lands of the U. States, south of the state of Tennessee, and agreed to them.
Mr. Israel Smith renewed his amendment, rejected yesterday, with the qualification that only such military adventurers, as were not enemies of the American revolution, should be confirmed in lands settled by them.
This occasioned a debate of considerable length, in which the amendment was supported by Messrs. Israel Smith, Bayard, Goddard and Shepard; and opposed by Messrs. Nicholson, Randolph, Bacon and Meriwether.
The amendment was lost. Yeas 17, nays 44.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow without a dissentient voice.
Mr. Nicholson presented a memorial from Thomas Young, submitting certain propositions of compromise with the U. States respecting lands ceded by Georgia. Referred.
A bill was passed to a third reading making certain ports of entry and delivery.
Among which the City of Washington is made a port of entry and delivery.
Other business was transacted, which shall be stated in our next.
REPORT.
Of the Commissioners appointed in pursuance of an act for the amicable settlement of limits with the State of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a Government in the Mississippi Territory.
THE commissioners appointed in pursuance of the act entitled, "An act for an amicable settlement of limits with the state of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a government in the Mississippi territory," in obedience to the provisions of the act supplemental to
the last mentioned act—respectfully submit the following report on the claims made by settlers and other persons, to lands within the territory situate west of the river Chatahouchee, and south of the cession made to the United States, by South Carolina.
(Continued.)
Upon a full view of the subject, the commissioners do not perceive that these companies have any equitable claim either for the land or for compensation from the United States.
On the 7th day of February, 1795, the state of Georgia passed an act, hereunto annexed, (K) authorizing the sale of four tracts of land therein described, and comprehending the greatest part of the country lying west of the river Alabama, to four companies, called the Georgia, the Mississippi, the Upper Mississippi, and the Tennessee companies, for which they were to pay five hundred thousand dollars.
To the Georgia Mississippi company was assigned all that tract lying between the Mississippi and Tombigbee rivers, and bounded by the parallels of latitude, 31 degrees 18 minutes, and 32 degrees 40 minutes; for which they were to pay 155,000 dollars.
The tract designated for the Georgia company was bounded on the north by the 34th degree of latitude, on the east by the Alabama river, on the west and south by the Mobile or Tombigbee, from the Spanish line to the north east corner of the lands assigned to the Georgia Mississippi company, by the northern boundary of the said lands, and by the Mississippi; for which they were to pay 250,000 dollars.
The Tennessee company were to pay 60,000 dollars, for a tract lying between the northern boundary of the state, and the parallel of latitude passing by the head spring of Bear creek, and bounded on the west by Tennessee and Bear creek, and on the east by a meridian crossing the last mentioned parallel, 120 miles east from the source of Bear creek.
And the Upper Mississippi company were, in consideration of 35,000 dollars, to receive a tract of 25 miles in breadth, adjoining the northern boundary of the state, and extending from the Mississippi to Tennessee and Bear creek, its boundaries on the east.
Two millions of acres were reserved out of these several tracts, for the use of such citizens of Georgia, as chose to subscribe on the original terms of the purchase; the monies paid by those citizens to the state, being considered as part of the purchase money of the companies, in whose territory they subscribed; the quantities thus reserved out of each tract, being one million of acres in the Georgia company; 620,000 acres in the Georgia Mississippi company; 242,000 acres in the Tennessee company; and 138,000 acres in the Upper Mississippi company. The price paid by the citizens who did subscribe, was two cents and one third, per acre, it being the price then supposed to have been paid by the companies; which (500,000 dollars, being the purchase money,) would give about 21,500,000 acres for the estimated quantity of land in the four tracts. It was further declared by the act that the lands lying westward of the eastward boundary of the several companies purchase, were estimated at one third of the lands within the purchase; and were supposed to contain 7,250,000 acres, which would give 28,750,000 acres, for the quantity intended to be sold. The land contained within those purchases amounts, however, too near 35 millions of acres; and the present claimants estimate the quantity at near 40 millions of acres.
The several companies did, it is understood, pay the purchase money, and obtain grants from the governor of Georgia, for the several tracts designated in the law: the lands have since passed through several hands, and so far as has come within the knowledge of the commissioners, the title derived from the grants appears to be now held in the following manner:
The whole tract granted to the Georgia Mississippi company, was divided into sixteen hundred equal undivided shares; and the president and directors of the company, in January, 1796, sold the whole, with the exception of the 620,000 acres, reserved for citizens, subscriptions, to certain individuals in Massachusetts, who style themselves the New England Mississippi company. The title has been conveyed to trustees, for the use of the company, which consists of 2,276 equal shares.
It is urged by sundry associates or shareholders of the original Mississippi company, that they have not been paid, and that they are still entitled to a portion of the land.
The tract granted to the Upper Mississippi company, appears to be divided into twelve equal undivided shares, and to be unencumbered by militant claims.
The tract granted to the Tennessee company, was, by the grantees, Mathias Maher and Zachariah Coxe, divided into 240 equal shares. Several hundred thousand acres are, besides, claimed under deeds, signed by Z. Coxe alone, and which appear to be exclusively of the shares which he held. The greater part of the original shares are held by trustees, for the use of the proprietors.
The Georgia company consisted of ten shares, exclusively of a number of sub-shares, and of noney shares, which have been either purchased in by the company, or absorbed in the payment of certain tracts sold by them. That company, however, no longer exists, having sold the greater part of the territory by mites and mounds; and surrendered the remainder to the state of Georgia. Instead, therefore, of being held by trustees, or in undivided shares, the lands originally assigned to that company, are claimed by several individuals, each claiming distinct tracts in their own name. There is a number of militant claims in that part of the tract which lies between the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, south of the parallel 33 degrees 20 minutes of north latitude.
On the 13th day of February, 1796, the legislature of Georgia passed an act, (L) declaring the act of the 7th January, 1795, abovementioned, null and void, as having been obtained by fraud and corruption; directing all records of grants or conveyances relating to the sale, to be expunged; and forbidding the recording, thereafter, of any such conveyances or contracts. The document (F) contains the evidence on which the legislature acted.
By the articles of agreement of the Georgia company, and schedule thereunto annexed, bearing date 1st and 10th January, 1795, a copy of which (B No. 9) was transmitted to the commissioners amongst other documents, by the attorneys of Hugh Rose and Valentine Jones, two of the claimants under that company, it appears that the company had disposed of a considerable quantity of the lands they intended to purchase, to divers persons (whose names with the amount in dollars paid by each, appear in the schedule) for the purpose of raising a fund to effect the purchase of the lands; and that they had also found it necessary to distribute to a variety of citizens of the state, certain sub-shares, or quantities of land, in order that the benefit should be as generally diffused as possible. By the form of the sub-shares (C) it appears that the holders were entitled to a certain quantity of land, without making any immediate payment, but on paying within several months what was supposed the original purchase money: viz, two cents and a third of a cent per acre.
A comparison of the schedule annexed to the articles, and which is declared to be a part of the agreement, with the year and nays on the passage of the act authorizing the sale, (E) shows that all the members, both in the senate and house, who voted in favor of the law, were with one single exception (Robert Watkins, whose name does not appear) interested in said parties to the purchase.
The articles of agreement, and list of associates of the Tennessee company, which have been voluntarily furnished by one of the trustees, shows that a number of members of the legislature were also interested in that company.
It is also proper to state, that all the deeds given by the company, which have been exhibited to the commissioners, as well as all the subsequent deeds, with only two or three exceptions, not only give a special, instead of a general warrantee, but have also a special covenant, in the following words: "And lastly it is covenanted, and expressly agreed and understood, by and between the parties to these presents, that neither the grantors aforesaid, nor their heirs, executors, or administrators, shall be held to any further, or other warrantee, than is herein before expressed, nor liable to the refunding of any money, in consequence of any defect in their title, from the state of Georgia, if any such there should hereafter appear to be."

Resolved That the United States have an indispensable right to the free navigation of the river Mississippi and to a convenient place of deposit for their produce and merchandise in the island of New Orleans.
That the late infringement of such their unquestionable right, is an aggression hostile to their honor and interest.
That it does not conflict with the dignity or safety of this union, to hold a right so important by a tenure so uncertain.
That it materially concerns such of the American citizens as dwell on the western waters; and is essential to the union, strength and prosperity of these states, that they obtain complete security for the full and peaceable enjoyment of their absolute right.
That the president be authorised to take immediate possession of such place, or places, in the said island, or the adjacent territories, as he may deem fit and convenient, for the purposes aforesaid; and to adopt such other measures for obtaining that complete security as to him, in his wisdom, shall seem meet.
That he be authorised to call into actual service, any number of the militia of the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, or of the Mississippi territory, which he may think proper, not exceeding fifty thousand, and to employ them, together with the military and naval forces of the union, for effecting the objects above mentioned.
That the sum of five millions of dollars be appropriated to the carrying into effect the foregoing resolutions; and that the whole or any part of that sum be paid or applied on warrants drawn in pursuance of such directions as the president may, from time to time, think proper to give to the secretary of the treasury.
A motion was made by Mr. Breckenridge, to amend them by striking out from the word Resolved, and inserting the following:
That the president of the United States be, and he is hereby authorized, whenever he shall judge it expedient, to require of the executives of the several states to take effectual measures to organize, and equip, according to law, and hold in readiness to march at a moment's warning, 80,000 effective militia, officers included.
Resolved, That the President may, if he judges it expedient, authorize the executive of the several states to accept, as part of the detachment aforesaid, any corps of the volunteers, who shall continue in service for such time not exceeding — months, and perform such services as shall be prescribed by law.
Resolved, That — dollars be appropriated for paying and subsisting such part of the troops aforesaid, whose actual service may be wanted, and defraying such other expenses as during the recess of Congress, the President may deem necessary for the security of the territory of the United States.
Resolved, That — dollars be appropriated for erecting, at such place or places on the western waters as the President may judge most proper, one or more arsenals.
On these last resolutions a debate ensued which continued to a late hour, in which Messrs. Breckenridge, Clinton, Cocke, and Jackson supported; and Messrs. White, Mason, and Dayton opposed them.
On Yesterday the debate was continued by Messrs. Wells, Ross and Morris against the resolutions of Mr. Breckenridge, and by Mr. Wright in their favor, until 7 o'clock, when the Senate adjourned.

Alexandria Advertiser.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26.
Communication.
The piece which appeared in the Expositor of yesterday, signed An Alexandrian, is one of those rare productions which are calculated to confound and defeat every argument, that can be urged against the militia bill now before Congress. That the Alexandrian has mustered in the ranks with his apprentices must be considered by all as a convincing proof of his republicanism; that he never incurred a fine is a strong proof of the necessity of the bill passing; and that he has had to alter his uniform and buy two new caps, in the course of nine years, is strong and conclusive evidence of the propriety of forcing the citizens to uniform themselves; but farther to enforce the propriety of this part of the bill, he tells us that military exercises will wear out cloaths at any rate, & that we had better wear coarse uniforms than cloaths that are more costly. Bless us, what force there is in this observation. Muskets and cartouch boxes will also wear out—why not force the people to buy those articles? They are equally necessary with uniforms to make a respectable military appearance; and if Congress have the right to force us to buy uniforms, they may also force us to buy the other articles. It would, at any rate, shew a disposition to be economical of the public money, to have a clause to this effect inserted in the bill. This proposition, I doubt not, will be congenial to the feelings of the Alexandrian and his friends, as it would afford an opportunity of glutting, in part, that revenge which they feel against men who have dared to proclaim them unworthy of their confidence. To conclude with the Alexandrian, I would rather pay fifty dollars for an uniform, to muster under officers whom I had a voice in choosing, than one cent for one to muster under officers who were appointed in contravention of the wishes of the people.
Q
When we heard of the late Emperor Paul of Russia, compelling the vassals in the metropolis of his dominions to wear cocked hats, we thought there could be nothing more ridiculous—But should the Colonel's militia bill be enacted into a law, the situation of the citizens of this district will be still more degrading, as it has the addition of a coat.
No LIVERY.
We are indebted to the politeness of a friend in the City of Washington for a copy of a Bill reported to the Senate of the United States by Mr. Breckenridge, the 21st inst. "To amend the Act, entitled, An Act concerning the district of Columbia," and also the Act supplementary thereto, entitled, "An Act concerning the District of Columbia." The following are the most material parts of it as it relates to the County of Alexandria:
Sec. 1. That the marshal of the district of Columbia, shall receive for his services within the counties of Washington and Alexandria, respectively, the same fees, perquisites and emoluments only, which, on the first Monday in December, in the year one thousand eight hundred, were allowed by the laws of Maryland and Virginia respectively, to the sheriff of a county for the like services.
Sec. 2. That the attorneys and clerks of the Circuit Court of the said district of Columbia, shall be entitled to receive for their services within the counties of Washington and Alexandria respectively, the same fees, perquisites and emoluments only, which, on the first Monday in December, in the year one thousand eight hundred, were allowed by the laws of Maryland and Virginia respectively, to the attorneys and clerk of a county court therein. Provided, That nothing in this act shall extend to the attorney of the United States for the said district; in relation to the duties required to be performed by him on public account.
Sec. 3. That the present existing quarantine laws of Virginia, shall henceforth be in force, in the county of Alexandria, in the District of Columbia; and that the president of the United States shall have and exercise the same power of carrying into execution the said quarantine laws of Virginia, in the county aforesaid, which the governor of Virginia, does possess and exercise in that state; and that he be authorized to appoint and commission, during pleasure, one or more superintendants of quarantining within the said county.
Sec. 4. That the levy courts or board of commissioners for the county of Alexandria, shall have power to levy or impose the amount of any expenses incurred in enforcing the performance of quarantine within said county, according to the mode of taxation prescribed to them by the present laws of the district of Columbia.

Plymouth, Dec. 30.
Yesterday it blew a most tremendous storm at South. Several vessels were driven on shore. Last night about 9 o'clock the American ship Juno, Clark, of New York, from Philadelphia for London, was driven ashore, at Wrinkle, in Witland Bay, within this port. The crew and passengers, consisting of a woman and four children were all providentially saved, except one little boy who is missing.
The ship fortunately got on a sand bank, and though it is feared she will be lost, it is expected that part of the cargo, consisting of cotton, coffee, furs, &c. will be saved. Every step to accomplish this object has been taken, and a proper guard of revenue officers and others placed on the spot, to prevent plunder by the country people. The cargo is very valuable. Two other ships went a shore.
