Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives.
WEDNESDAY, January 16.
A message from the Senate by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing that the Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate, had obtained leave of absence, and that the Senate having proceeded to the choice of a President pro tempore, had elected Mr. Anderson, of Ten-nessee.
Mr. Speaker laid before the House the report of the Secretary at War, on the petition of the military officers stationed at New Orleans, which was referred to a select committee of five.
Also the report of the Secretary of the Treas-ury, on the petition of Fontaine Maury, pray-ing a drawback on certain coffee transported coast-wise. Referred to the committee of com-merce and manufactures.
A petition from captain John Badger, of the revolutionary army, who was disabled in the ser-vice by very severe wounds, praying relief, was read and referred to the committee of claims.
On motion of Dr. Leib, the House, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to amend the charter of George Town.
Mr. Gregg in the chair.
After going through the same, and making se-veral verbal alterations, the committee rose, and reported the bill with amendments, which were agreed to by the house.
General Varnum moved to give the mayor of George Town a qualified vote upon the laws passed by the aldermen and common council.
On the question to agree to the same, the house divided, and there appeared 39 in its favor, and 40 against it.
The Speaker declared that it was not agreed to.
Mr. Smith said he had risen in favor of the motion but he believed he had not been count-ed as the Speaker had passed his feat before he rose.
The question was hereupon put a second time, and there were 44 in favor of the amendment, and 42 against it—So that the amendment was agreed to.
The next question was on ordering the bill to be engrossed for a third reading. The house di-vided, and there were for the motion 57, against it 13. Not being a quorum, the members were called upon to divide a second time, and there appearing 63 in favor of ordering the bill to be engrossed, it was carried in the affirmative.
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing that the Se-nate had passed the bill received from this house, authorizing the corporation of George Town to erect a dam or causeway from Mason's Island to the West side of the Potomac.
On motion of Mr. J. Randolph, the House re-solved into a committee of the whole, on the bill making appropriation for the support of go-vernment for the year 1805.
Mr. Dawson in the chair.
The various blanks being filled up, the com-mittee rose and reported the same, which being-agreed to by the House, the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading for Friday next.
Adjourned.
THURSDAY, January 17.
Mr. J. Randolph laid the committee of ways and means had received a letter from the secreta-ry last evening by which it appeared to be necessa-ry to add an additional item to the appropriation bill, and to make a small alteration in an item already agreed to. The letter was read by the clerk, and then on motion of Mr. J. R. the bill was recommitted to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Dawson in the chair.
After some time spent in considering the same and making the requisite amendments, the com-mittee rose and reported; the house thereupon proceeded to consider the motion, and having concurred in the amendments reported by the committee of the whole, the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Dawson presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Detroit and its vicinity, praying an alteration in the law for the disposal of public lands of the United States. Referred to the committee appointed on the seventeenth of January last, on the same subject.
Mr. Claiborne moved the order of the day for the house to resolve itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill mak-ing further provision for the extinguish-ment of the debts still due from the Unit-ed States.
Mr. Varnum in the chair.
This bill goes generally to make provi-sion for the payment of certain debts liqui-dated at the treasury.
A new section was proposed by Mr. Claiborne, making similar provision for all unliquidated debts due for services ren-dered or supplies furnished during our re-volutionary war.
A debate of considerable length and in-terest grew out of the question for adding it to the bill.
On motion the committee divided and 78 members voting in favor of inserting it in the bill, it was carried.
A motion for striking out the last section limiting the duration of the bill to
years was made by Mr. Macon (speaker); another debate of some length took place, and when the committee divided there were 48 in favor of striking out, and 58 against, so it was determined in the neg-ative.
Mr. Elmer proposed a new section em-bracing the cases of Messrs. Bowen, Moore and Elmer, officers of artillery, but who were not attached to the line of any state; providing for an allowance of the depreciation of their pay, which they did not obtain under the resolution of the old congress, in consequence of having re-signated a few days previous to its taking effect.
This motion did not succeed, only 18 members voting in its favor.
Mr. Thomas proposed a new section enacting that the claim of the United States against individual states for balances which occurred previous to the year 1790, should continue to exist till the day of and no longer.
This motion was also lost, only 20 ris-ing in its favor.
The last section limiting the duration of the law for years being under con-sideration, it was proposed to fill up the blank with 2, 3, and 20.
The question was taken on the highest number, 112, 80 and lost, only 27 mem-bers voting in its favor.
On filling it with 3 years the house di-vided, and there were 52 in the affirmative and 42 in the negative, so it was carried.
The committee then rose and reported the bill and its amendments, and the house proceeded to consider the same.
A considerable debate took place on con-curring in the amendment proposed by Mr. Claiborne, extending the law to un-liquidated claims, and upon the question of concurring the house divided, and were for it 54—against it 56—So the amend-ment was not agreed to.
Several verbal amendments were after-wards agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-mor-row.
On motion of Mr. Thomas, Mr. Ver-planck, of New-York, obtained leave of absence from Monday next to the end of the session.
Adjourned.

Twenty Dollars Reward.
Eloped from the subscriber, living in the town of Portsmouth, Virginia, on the night of the 24th ult. without any provocation, a very light mulatto man, who has generally been known by the name of GEORGE TALE, formerly the property of Mr. Hector Alexander, of Dumfries, from whom I purchased him about twelve months since. He is an excellent boot and shoe maker, and served an apprenticeship to that business with Mr. James S. Leiman, of the aforesaid place, from whence he eloped to Nor-folk, and was there apprehended, lodged in jail, and brought me by his master. He is about 22 years old, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, well proportioned, a little pock pitted, with black hair, rather lank in front, but inclined to curl at the back of his head, his voice resembles the ge-nerality of negroes, his face appears very much scarified, from a recent boxing match with one of his companions. It appears unnecessary to attempt a minute description of his clothing, as I am informed he either battered or sold the major part of them.
I am convinced he is bent on fixing a residence in some of the northern states, and will no doubt attempt to pass as a freeman.
It is highly probable he took with him a grey horse, about nine years old and five feet high, as the stable was broken open the night he eloped, and such a horse taken away. He is well known in many of the northern towns. I will give the above reward to any person who will deliver him to Mr. A. Cooke, in Frederickburg, Mr. John Guelick, Dumfries, Mr. Samuel Craig, Alexandria, or Mr. Thomas Dobbie, Baltimore, or for se-curing him in any jail so that I can get him a-gain; and ten dollars for delivering the horse to.

N. B. I thus publicly forward all matters of fact as and others, from harboring, employing or carrying off said slave, under no less penalty than the extent of the law made and provided in such cases.

From the PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE.
From Washington, Dec. 31.
Great preparations are making in the trial of Judge Chase. I presume the Se-nate expect a vast concourse of spectators, for they have done little business of late, and the carpenters are busy in making ac-commodations for the lookers-on, by ex-tending the gallery and providing new seats about the chair of him who was the princi-pal actor when "murder was playing a great master-piece." There are various o-pinions held here as to the probable issue of this trial; but the more prevalent ex-peciation appears to be that he will be con-victed. I have myself, however, some doubt. Those who feel confident of his conviction, build their fear on two strong foundations; the one, that the impeach-ment would not have been forwarded in the house with so much zeal, had not the de-terminations of the competent number of senators been sounded, and found favour-able; the other is the natural depravity of democrats in power. Were I to detail to you the flying reports, I should inform you that Col. of Penna. is by some considered doubtful; that Doctor Mitch-ell, from having opposed the impeachment in the house, is also considered doubtful; that Anderson of Tennessee, is also con-sidered very doubtful; that Judge Stone of North-Carolina, is also considered doubtful; nay, some have suspected in this instance the integrity and magnanimi-ty in General S. Smith, the townsman of Judge Chase; there are also, two or three others towards whom the open look of char-ity has been extended. If all the mem-bers of the senate should be present, 23 will be necessary for his conviction; if one, two, or three are absent, 23 would be ne-cessary. There are 9 members who will without doubt be opposed to this convic-tion; and some have considerable confi-dence that those will be joined by two or three others. Did Giles possess the deli-cacy and feelings of a man, I should pre-sume that he would not vote on the occa-sion, having long since expressed his de-termination to cause the removal of Judge Chase. But any expectation of honorable conduct on the part of Giles in this case, is, I presume, futile.
You may rest assured, that Judge Chase will attend. When the sergeant at arms of the Senate delivered to him his message, he told the sergeant to give his love to every member of the Senate, and assure them of his attendance.
Nicholson has not been in the house, I believe for nearly three weeks. Probably he is endeavouring to prepare himself as a manager of the impeachment. Randolph is very retired and busy, probably for the same purpose. Nelson has been absent from the house for some time, probably for the same purpose. You know that that man about whom the principal evi-dence of greatness is the sound of his names, [Cesar Augustus Rodney] has wan-dered from [not] his duty, here, to further the works of the wicked one in your state. There are some men here who think that J. Randolph, will die with fear of having his incompetency exposed in this trial, there are others who imagine he will hang himself, with shame after the trial; but you can determine this question as well as myself; I think his matchless assurance will sustain him.
Randolph seems to have grown unpopu-lar of late among his own party. J. H. Ni-cholson has long laboured to deprive him of the character of the leading member of the house; and Nelson appears very soli-citous to wrest it from them both. The decrease of Randolph's popularity gives ge-neral satisfaction to the democrats here. They are desirous of curbing the overbear-ing and dangerous ascendancy of the anci-ent dominion. The preponderancy of Vir-ginia is almost as much disliked here a-mong the democrats, as feared by the fe-deralists north of this. There are many of the ministerial members as jealous of Virginia as of Virginia as necessary.
In the house of representatives this day, a message was received from the President inclosing several letters from Consul O'Brien, the last of which was dated the 14th of the 9th month, at Malta. From what I could hear, as the clerk read these letters, I believed them to give a more detailed ac-count than we have before received of some actions that took place before Tripoli, as well as an account of some indecisive ac-tions since, in which three American of-ficers were killed. Lieuts. Wadsworth, Ralph Izard, and Somers. The arrival of the squadron that sailed last summer from here was mentioned; the Consul expected to return here shortly in the John Adams; he did not expect that any thing further could be effected against Tripoli till spring.

Priest Relf , the situation of our brave unfortunate countrymen in captivity grieves me exceedingly; and it pains me to consider how tardily the administration have endeavoured their relief. I had fondly hoped that the squadron fitted out in the spring would have arrived in season to compel their release. Our fighting men on the waters are brave, but it doth not appear to me that the Mediterranean affairs have been well ordered by our directors at home. The pouting out of human blood is dreadful, but if these barbarians cannot be brought to justice without, let it be done copiously at first, and thus prevent its long continuance. I would gladly sell 20 of the best oxen on my plantation, to so strengthen our navy that our brethren in bondage might be relieved.
Leave of absence was asked in the house this day for Mr. Rodney, of Delaware, for two weeks. He has been absent already, I believe, for two weeks, without leave.
Dr. Kuitis moved a resolution, which was carried, the substance of which, I think, was, to request the secretary of state to give information to the house, of all those persons who have been impressed by foreign powers, who are Americans, &c. as far as has come to his knowledge.
What is said privately between us you will bury in secrecy. I this day several times heard the speaker call to order members without the bar, and inveigh against private conversation, but when the house is in committee of the whole, I have very frequently observed the speaker in conversation with other members of the house, and generally in a loud key; so much so, that I could hear him in the gallery. There is sometimes a degree of horse and confusion without the bar that astonishes me. There is a mode to prevent this; but this mode will never be adopted. If all the speakers were Morrises and Tracys and Bayards, the tongue would lie down in silence, while the ear was diligently swallowing delight. There is not a truly great speaker in the house of representatives—no, not one, unless greatness be measured by quantity.
There were this day very many spectators about me in the gallery, expecting to hear a discussion on the motion for retroceding all the district of Columbia, except the city of Washington, to the states of Virginia and Maryland. It was moved to postpone it till the second day of next week: this motion prevailed. You may, however, forgive me if I want charity, but I must believe that the name of Washington is to Thomas Jefferson, to W. B. Giles, to John Randolph, and some others, more hateful than that of the most venomous asp in Egypt. This retrocession, even should the states accept, appears to me to be a violation of the spirit of the constitution, a violation of contract, and a forerunner of the alteration of the seat of government. As this is not my home, you will know this is not said from motives of self-interest. Wright (do you know that senatorial nothingness?) was direct in his motion for removing the seat of government; but these enemies of the name, and too much of the virtues of Washington, take an indirect method. I know not what are the grievances of which complaint is made. I know that Wright could not find all the conveniences here that he wished; he complained that there was a want of variety in vegetables; he could get no carrots. But there exists another complaint; heavier: forgive me as before I said, if I want charity; there exists a weighty complaint of the want of houses for the convenience of men who look on women to lust after them. Report, however, says that there are houses of this description, to which single men, aye, and others too, not unfrequently resort. Did I not detest private slander, I could unfold tales.—This objection I believe to be a serious one, made by some members, but as a moralist and a Christian, I must pronounce it an objection suggested by the evil one.
The senate do not now set in the usual place. That room is under the care of the carpenter. Dost thou know what appropriations have been made by law, for such expenses? I was in the room this day, but no business either of the senate or of the carpenter was in operation.
A friend told me that J. Randolph assured him that the trial of judge Chase would not commence on the 4th day of this week, that it would probably be yet a considerable time before he and the senate would be prepared. Perhaps he has yet to send for witnesses. I know not the form of proceeding in this case.
The year is dying—it hath but a few hours to live: it dieth placid and pious: God grant that your last moments and my last moments may also be placid and pleasant.

SIR FRANCIS BACON was wont much to commend the advice of a plain old man, who sold brooms. A proud, lazy young fellow came to him, one day, for a broom on trust; to whom the old man said, "Friend! if thou hast no money, borrow of thy back and of thy belly: I shall never ask thee for it;—I should be dunning thee every day."

From the Philadelphia Gazette.
[For the following correct and judicious remarks, we are indebted to the Editors of the Gazette of the United States. In addition to the excessive fees herein enumerated, we may subjoin the official charges of the French Consuls in our ports; and if we are not mistaken, those of the Danish which are equally unjust and extravagant.]
COMMERCIALLY INTERESTING.
Under the administration of General Washington, and that of Mr. Adams, our ears were perpetually stunned with democratic clamours against the government, on the score of our relations with foreign nations. As these democrats have now had the management of the government in their own hands for four years, it is incumbent on them to show in what one particular our affairs with foreign nations are better managed now than they were then. In the mean time we will point out several particulars in which our own citizens are at present absolutely oppressed and laid under contributions to fatten the mignons of foreign powers, while our government tamely looks on and takes no concern in the business.
From sheer carelessness on the part of our government, or from something worse, the credibility of all kinds of American official papers connected with commerce, such as bills of health, manifests, &c. has sunk so low in the estimation of foreign powers, that they have been induced to place agents of their own in all our seaport towns, to be supported at the expense of our merchants . To this imposition they compel us to submit, by suffering no American vessel to enter their ports, unless the truth and correctness of her papers are certified by their agent at the port from which she sails. Though this is sufficiently oppressive and injurious, the evil does not stop here. Even this guarantee of the veracity of the American government is not deemed satisfactory. An American vessel sailing from the port of Philadelphia when in perfect health, and having her bills of health in due form, certified by the Spanish Consul, at the expense of the owner,
on her arrival at Cadiz, though that city was then afflicted with disease, was not permitted to enter until she had performed a quarantine of 15 or 30 days. This iniquitous exaction having taken place late in the season, has been the only cause that many of our vessels have been excluded from our ports by ice, and driven to the West Indies.
In these remarks upon the conduct of foreign nations relative to American Commerce, it is our duty to exempt the government of Great Britain from the charge of authorising these shameful and degrading contributions. They place their consuls in our seaport towns, and they pay them for their services. For signing certificates of health, &c. the British Consul neither receives nor demands any tribute.
The Portuguese Consul, for certifying both bills of health required by law, is authorised by his government to demand and receive of our merchants 2 dollars.
The Spanish Consul is in like manner authorized to levy a contribution of a dollar for each bill of health; and upon the cargo, 2 dollars for every separate article specified in the manifest; so that on a cargo consisting of
  Stoves,  Butter,    Corn,  Lard,    Flour,  Rice,    Wax,  Hams,    Fish,  Bread,  
the owner must pay 20 dollars to the Spanish Consul for signing the manifest, and in the same proportion for any greater number of articles.
If our government could be prevailed upon to take the least interest in the commerce of the country, we might expect either that foreign governments would be prevented from thus levying taxes upon a part of our citizens for the support of their own officers, or else that our consuls in Spain, &c. would be authorised to demand like privileges in the places to which they are sent.
There is still another particular in which our merchants are taxed by foreign governments without any reciprocity on our part. Whenever an American vessel arrives at any port in Spain or Portugal, a guard of Custom-house officers is immediately put on board, where he remains during the time of quarantine; and until the cargo is discharged, who besides living on board receives daily wages at the expence of the vessel; consequently, as we make to such demands of their vessels coming to our ports, we allow our merchants to be taxed for the purpose of defraying the expences of their Custom-house regulations. The length of time also, which our vessels are detained in their ports is no small addition to the inequality of terms upon which commerce is carried on. Here a foreign ship will be despatched in ten or twenty days, in Spain an American vessel will be detained forty or fifty days, including quarantine.
Let us now invite our democratic brethren to take a view of these notorious facts thus briefly stated, and compare them with what they have so often said about the high national spirit of our government, which disdains forsooth, to be tributary to any nation under heaven. If this is not tribute and levied too in the most humiliating form, we unable to conjecture what would be tribute. If a petty consul or commercial agent may be sent to each of our seaports and authorised to levy contributions upon our citizens for his support, upon the same principle, ambassadors and their suits may be authorised to support themselves at our expence, and upon the same principle their ships of war coming into our ports, may demand and take whatever supplies they may choose to want of provisions, military stores or any thing else. Should they choose however to carry the principle into operation in its full extent, they will do well to confine their exactions to the merchants, in which case they will have nothing to fear from the interference of our government.

AFTER WHICH
The Grand Italian Pantomime, By the Wonderful Group of Artful Comedians, three feet and a half high, possessing by the Powers of Mechanism, the exact Movements of Life, will be presented
An Ancient Dramatic Piece, Taken from a Ballad, entitled
THE NORFOLK TRAGEDY.
A description of the different scenes, performed by the Figures, is highly necessary, in order that the public may form an idea respecting the Merits and Ingenuity of the Performance.
Scene 1. The parents of the children are discovered, in their last moments, giving charge to their brother respecting their lovely offspring, admonishing him to train them up in the path of virtue, which he solemnly promises to perform, and calls in the children, who take an affectionate farewell of their parents.
Scene 2. Soliloquy of the Uncle, in which he determines the death of the children—meets two bravadoes whom he engages to murder them.
Scene 3. The Russians arrive in a wild forest, where they intend murdering the children, but not agreeing respecting the mode or manner of their death, they quarrel—a combat ensues, which terminates in the death of the wicked Russian; the children enter, complain of their being left alone, he soothes them by saying they shall soon be at their journey's end.
Scene 4. The surviving Russian not wishing to kill the unfortunate babes, leaves them in the trackless desert where they wander up and down; at last worn out with fatigue, they fall a sacrifice to hunger. Here the phenomenon of human invention is displayed by a Robin, flying about with all the movements of life and harmonious notes practised by that favorite bird; its care and attention in collecting leaves to cover the bodies of the unfortunate innocents, is truly wonderful and often draws the tear of sensibility from the most obdurate! After which a figure descends, supposed to represent a celestial messenger, come with power to convey the spotless victims to their destined happy abode. The graceful attitudes, and diligence of this figure in uncovering the bodies, display the care of Providence towards the unfortunate.
Scene 5. Meditation of the Uncle, wherein he repents of the wicked deed he has been guilty of: In the course of his reflections, he is surprised by the approach of a large snake, who enters with all the natural and terrific attitudes that these poisonous reptiles possess; he jumps at the Uncle, and is supposed to kill him. Here the spectator is lost in wonder, by reflecting on the ingenuity of mankind!
The Evening's amusements will conclude with the Comic Interlude of the Unfortunate Old Gentleman . Doors to be opened at six, and the performance to commence at seven o'clock.
Admittance Fifty Cents.
Tickets may be had at Mr. Stewart's Book Store.
The room will be made comfortably warm.

DENEALE'S
Patent Threshing Machine.
THE subscriber having invented a machine, (for which he has obtained a patent) for threshing all kinds of grain, particularly wheat and the like kinds of grain most difficult to be separated from straw, &c. has taken the liberty of recommending the same to his fellow citizens as worthy their attention. The subscriber is well aware that the public attention has often been called to inventions for threshing wheat, and it has been asserted that those inventions have often failed to produce the desired effect, but from the actual experiment which has been made on the subscriber's machine, to the public, the inventor is emboldened to recommend it in terms of confidence and a well founded expectation of its success, as it will produce the grain clean and free from straw, and will be found a most profitable and useful machine to the farmer and manufacturer. This machine is constructed upon entirely new principles, its operation is by hand, enclosed by a cylinder, moved by friction wheels, and can with ease be regulated so that no straw shall pass off before the grain is entirely threshed out of it. It is worked by two horses, and so geared that their speed will not exceed the rate of three miles per hour, and the thought moderate nor does it require more than two persons to attend it. The straw is discharged at one part and the wheat at another, perfectly screened and fanned ready for market, the threshed wheat, cockles, &c. are deposited by themselves, and the straw also, so that no mixture takes place. This machine will thresh at the rate of from fifteen to twenty bushels per hour, is not subject, if properly built, to get out of repair, and if kept under cover will last many years. The wheat prepared for market by this machine is worth to the manufacturer considerably more than that got out in the usual mode of threshing, and the cost of the machine will not exceed from one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars.
The subscriber will grant permission to use his threshing machine and furnish a drawing or written description by which it can be executed for fifty dollars each, or any person can view the one he has erected at his mill near Dumfries, Virginia, so as to enable them to erect one from it. The subscriber certifies that being from gentlemen who are good understanders and steady habits entitle them to respect, and some of whom being persons of scientific knowledge, he hopes will be sufficient to recommend his machine to public use; he will also contract for the privilege of using his machine in any particular place. Letters post paid directed to him at Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
JAMES DENEALE, Jun.
Dumfries, Dec. 3. 1804.
Dumfries, 30th Oct. 1804.
We, the underwritten, inhabitants of the town of Dumfries and its vicinity, having frequently attended experiments made with a machine invented by Mr. James Deneale, of the Quantico Mills, near this place, for the purpose of threshing out wheat, have no hesitation in giving our united testimony in support of the usefulness, which will result to the community from this excellent invention. As Mr. Deneale is about to apply to the proper authority for a patent when the construction will be generally disclosed, we deem it unnecessary to say more on the subject.

Ocean View, 30th Oct. 1804.
Being called on by James Deneale of Dumfries, in the state of Virginia to view a threshing Machine of his invention and executed by himself, for which he is about to obtain a patent, I waited on him, but went with prejudice against all threshing machines heretofore invented, having never seen or heard of one that answered a good purpose, and hardly thought it likely that this should be much superior to those which had preceded it; but contrary to my expectation it did its work perfectly leaving not a grain of wheat in the straw, nor even any chaff when the straw was put into the machine in a straight or in a tangled state, it delivered the straw well, and did not appear difficult to manage nor to be complicated as to be hard to keep in repair, it threshed, while it flowed by, nine dozen bushels of wheat, (such as two dozen in common use would have made a bushel) in sixteen minutes, so that I have no doubt it will thresh fifteen to eighteen bushels an hour with two horses, and two hands to attend it with much ease to the hands and horses with the assistance of a common Dutch fan placed under the machine, which would be turned with and by the machine, the wheat might be rendered nearly fit for market, without the expense of two hands and two horses working at leisure at the rate above mentioned of fifteen to eighteen bushels an hour, clear from all dirt or chaff of any kind. And as most Millers would find it to their interest to give 30 to 60 per bushel more for wheat got out in this way than that got out in the tedious mode of threshing with horses on the dirt; I can with confidence, and on the principle of doing to others as I would have them do to me, recommend this machine to all considerable farmers as wor-
thy their most serious attention and adoption. Seeing the farmers generally in this state do not get for their wheat within 63. to 1s. per bushel of what the northern farmers get at market, I attribute the cause to the difference in management only.
