CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 5.
Mr. Griswold called up his resolution respecting Louisiana, laid on the table yesterday, as follows:
Resolved , That the President of the U. States, be requested to direct the proper officer, to lay before this House, copies of such official documents as have been received by this government, announcing the cession of Louisiana to France, together with a report explaining the stipulations, circumstances, and conditions under which that province is to be delivered up — unless such documents and report will, in the opinion of the President, divulge to the House particular transactions not proper at this time to be communicated.
Mr. Randolph observed that the discussion on this motion might embrace points nearly connected with the subject referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, and which had been discussed with closed doors. He therefore thought it would be expedient to commit this motion also to the committee of the whole on the state of the union to whom had been committed the message of the President respecting New Orleans.
Mr. Randolph accordingly made such a motion.
Mr. Griswold only rose to make a question of order, viz. whether the gentleman could move the reference of the resolution to a committee of the whole on a subject whose discussion required shut doors.
Mr. Speaker said the motion was to refer the resolution to a committee on the union generally. There was no special committee on the state of the union.
Mr. Griswold said he made no question of order of that. He had no doubt it was in order.
The Speaker decided the motion to be in order.
Mr. Griswold hoped the motion would not prevail. He did not see what arguments could be urged in favor of it. The resolution related to a public transaction stated on their Journal. He did not think that any thing which ought to be kept secret could be involved in the discussion of it. What is its purport? It only requests the President to furnish documents respecting "the cession of the Spanish province of Louisiana to France, which took place in the course of the late war," and which the President says "will if carried into effect, make a change in the aspect of our foreign relations, which will doubtless have just weight in any deliberations of the legislature connected with that subject."
Are not, said Mr. Griswold, these papers important to the house? Does not the President refer to them as important to enlighten us? He speaks of the cession as a fact. He took it for granted the President would not make the declaration unless he had official information of its truth. Ought not the house to be possessed of all the important information in the power of the executive to give? It certainly ought. Every gentleman would agree that the house ought to have all the information. If the information is confidential, it will be received with closed doors. But the question, whether the house shall obtain this information is a public question; and there was not a man within those walls, or in the U. States, who would not say that the legislature ought to possess every information on a subject so deeply interesting. Why then refer this resolution, calling for information, to a committee? Why postpone it? They had but a short time to sit. More than half the session was already elapsed. Is it not time to gain information? Mr. Griswold said, he would venture to declare that no subject so important could be brought before the legislature this session. Ought we not, therefore, on such a subject to take immediate means to gain information? He hoped the house would not agree to the reference, which could have no effect but to put the resolution asleep, and deprive the legislature of information they ought to possess.
Mr. Randolph said as he had expressed his disinclination to discuss a proposition with open doors which would trench on the decision of the house to discuss a subject to which it intimately related with closed doors, it could scarcely be expect-
ed that he should indulge the gentleman in entering into arguments calculated to carry him from his purpose. But he denied that the adoption of his motion would be a refusal to give information. He well knew that there was nothing easier than to declare the subject vastly important and make an eloquent harangue upon it, and to infer that those who did not immediately agree to the resolution were adverse to giving information, and to going into discussion of the merits of the main subject. It would, however, not be expected that he should enter upon these on a preliminary resolution. But he would assure the gentleman, who had submitted this resolution, that so far from indulging any disposition to be dilatory in his attention to this important subject, he came yesterday prepared to make a motion that the house should go into a committee of the whole on the subject, which motion he should have then made but for that offered by the gentleman from Connecticut.
Mr. Rutledge said that, did he consider that the giving publicity to any information on this subject would in the least interfere with the constitutional functions of the President, he would be the last man to support the resolution of his friend from Connecticut. But he could not conceive that this could be its effect. What were they about to ask? They were about to ask in respectful terms the President for information relative to what he states as a fact; to much information as he may think it expedient to give. Surely there would be no impropriety in this. The cession of Louisiana had been stated in all the public prints in Europe and this country, and on the floor of the British parliament. This cession had been made a year ago: & notwithstanding the elapse of this time, we had received no official information on this subject. Is it not natural for the people to ask why Congress do not call for this information? Will they not say the President has done his duty in stating the fact? Upon this subject, so very important, are they to be kept in the dark? Mr. Rutledge could not conceive any turn of the debate on this resolution that could produce a discussion of the merits of the Message referred to the Committee of the whole. If the President shall say the information he gives us ought not to be made public, he would answer for himself, and he believed he could answer for his friends, that they would not seek a public discussion. And if the information is important without confidence, the House, if it see fit, can itself controul a public discussion. Mr. Rutledge concluded with saying that in the present case he was for deciding on the resolution with open doors.
Mr. S. Smith thought this point ought in a great measure to be determined by the custom of the House in similar cases. He did not assert it as a fact, but, from recollection he believed it was so, that when a call was made for papers in the case of the British treaty, the question was referred to a committee of the whole, and there fully discussed. According to his recollection, one side of the House called for papers on the principle that after negotiations were terminated, the House had a right to information before they made a grant to money under a treaty; but acknowledging that a call for such information might be improper during a pending negotiation. He was one of those who thought it proper, on that occasion, that the House should have the papers; but he also thought it improper, and had then so declared, to call for papers during a pending negotiation. Whether in the present instance, a negotiation was pending or was not, he did not know. He was therefore, for postponing the resolution till this was known to the House.
(Debate to be Continued.)

Arrived this morning, the ship Matilda, capt. Talbot, in 25 days from New Orleans. No troops had arrived there, and the restrictions on American trade continued to be rigidly enforced.
TO THE EDITOR.
New Orleans, Dec. 5, 1802.
"The situation of this place, as to the operation of the Intendant's proclamation, continues the same as at my last. There are now eight or ten American vessels laying here, unable to obtain permission to discharge, and having no other way of getting rid of their cargoes, but by sending them to Natchez—a perilous step indeed!
"We are very anxious to hear what course your government will adopt on this interesting occasion. If we are to judge from what our neighbors at the Natchez intimate, it will be productive of a very important change in the relations of the two governments."
"There is no doubt as to the French taking possession of this colony. When it will take place, however, is a matter of uncertainty. It is the policy of the Spanish government to act in darkness. We therefore shall not be officially apprised of this circumstance, until the arrival of the French commissioners."
Arrived, ship Matilda, Talbot, New Orleans; Columbia, Holmes, Boston.
Cleared, sch'r Three Friends, Brooks, St. Thomas; Amity, Trefethen, Portsmouth, N. H.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.
[The following ARRETE was received at the Coffee-House, per the Viper, from Cape-Francois.]
The General in Chief and General Captain of the Colony of St. Domingo.
Considering that the imports of the French trade are not adequate to the wants of the troops and the colony; that the nature of its cargoes calculated for prof- perous times does not offer such measures necessary to restore a country laid waste by rebellion, that under the existing circumstances the supreme administrative, essentially responsible of the preservation both of men and things, ought to meet eagerly with every measure that will revive commerce and agriculture, orders what follows:
Article I. The arrete of the General Captain of the 15th Fructidor, year ten, whereby several articles of our consumption are permitted to be imported in the colony on foreign bottoms, on paying ten per cent. duty is maintained.
II. It shall be lawful to the foreign trade to import into the colony all kinds of goods and commodities not enumerated in the above said arrete, in paying for the same a duty of twenty per cent. ad valorem.
III. The colonial prefect will cause a tarif of the value of the goods and commodities mentioned in the foregoing article, to be made every six months; after which tarif the duty of twenty per cent. is to be regulated.
IV. Cape-Francois, Port-Republican and Santo Domingo, are the only ports wherein the articles permitted by the first and second articles of the present arrete can be imported.
V. The present arrete shall be executed on, and from the day of its publication.
VI. The colonial prefect is charged to enforce the execution of the present arrete, which shall be printed, published, posted up and inserted in the official gazette.
The General Captain, (Signed) Dtn. ROCHAMBEAU. A true copy: The colonial prefect, (Signed) H. DUARE.

PHILADELPHIA, January 6.
A gentleman in France, under date of October 28, writes to his friend in this city, "I have conversed with some well-informed people on the subject of the pending Commercial Treaty with England, and they are of opinion that Bonaparte will never enter into one, as he is determined to do every thing in his power to revive the manufactories of France, and such a treaty might interfere with this view."
Arrived ship Hampden & Sidney, Goodwin, Madeira; Four Friends, Waite, St. Ubes; brig Julia, Torris, St. Croix; Globe, Shallcross, Antigua; fchr. Lyon, Vaux, Aux-Cayes; Sally, Childs, Trinidad.

Just before capt. Goodwin left Madeira, two British squadrons, with troops arrived. They were destined for the West Indies. From various reports, it appeared that a renewal of war between England and France was more than conjectured.

MONDAY, JANUARY 10.
Captain Graham, of the brig Amiable Matilda, informs us, that a number of English and American vessels had been chartered at Amsterdam for the purpose of transporting troops to the Dutch West-India possessions, and to Louisiana. Capt. G. says, that American produce was generally dull at Amsterdam—Rice was the only article which bore a good price. (N. Y. Pap.)
Capt. Grant, arrived at Salem, who left Demarara the 29th November, informs, that the Bush Negroes of that place were very troublesome—the inhabitants are all in arms, and not a merchant there exempted from military duty. A Dutch fleet was hourly expected. The Barbadoes Mercury of the 2d November mentions the rigor which the French have adopted at Martinique towards the coloured people, and aliens of every description; and every act shews the jealousy with which the new government watches over the safety of that colony. No strangers are admitted into the island, and any person once leaving it, can only return by a licence.
From the Boston Centinel.
To the Editor.—"Salem, Dec. 18, 1802—Dear Sir—In March last, I failed in the ship John and James, Capt. Smith, from New-York, for Calcutta. On the 15 May, when doubling the Cape of Good Hope we encountered a violent gale of wind—lost our foremast, main and mizen topmasts, bowsprit, and had two seamen and a boy (William Hampton, Samuel Day, and Peter Tyron) washed overboard, and lost. The storm increased until the next morning, when finding the ship sinking, we all took to the boats without provisions or water. The yawl separated from us soon after, and was probably lost; the long boat being strong, weathered the gale pretty well. We remained in open boat, without food or drink, five days, in which time five out of the eight on board died with hunger: On the sixth day we saw land, and on the 23d May landed at Table-Bay, on the Cape. The survivors are Capt. Smith, John Forrester, and yours, &c. GEORGE AUGUSTUS THURBER."
One of the Virginia papers pathetically deplores that Mr. Giles's infirm health must deprive the country of the benefit of his patriotism, talents and zeal, during the present session of congress. It is true that Mr. Giles promised to originate several measures which, for the want of his presence in Congress, may probably not be brought forward. The repeal of the bankrupt act is one. The abolition of the mint was a very favorite measure.—The Virginian Shepherd has twice already brought this subject before the flock; but they are not yet well trained. They scatter off and follow strange leaders. Even Mr. Dawson and General Smith find it difficult to prevent them from straying. But there is one subject which will most peculiarly and materially suffer by the absence of Mr. Giles. He last year repeatedly declared, in different companies, both republican and democratic, that it was his intention, during the present session of congress to bring forward an impeachment against Judge Chase for his conduct on the trial of Mr. Callender. He said it was necessary to defer it till this session for the want of some documents which he expected to procure from Mr. Callender. Unless the roads have been too bad, it is probable that Mr. Giles has, before this obtained the documents of Mr. Callender, and would now be prepared to proceed in the business, if the country had not unfortunately been deprived of his services.—We know not whether Mr. Callender was apprised of this intention; but we know that the name of Mr. Giles has been very often in the Recorder, in the course of the last summer. Some imagine that the services which Mr. Callender has rendered to the cause of republicanism, since the last session, have so inflamed the resentment and the zeal of the democrats against the conduct of Judge Chase towards the favorite editor, that an impeachment will be moved, notwithstanding the absence of Mr. Giles. It is suspected, at Washington that Mr. Dawson is to bring forward the motion, and to be appointed chairman of the committee for managing the impeachment before the Senate. Some suppose that Mr. Claiborne, Mr. Randolph
and General Smith, are also to be up on the committee. All this, however, is mere conjecture. (Gaz. U. S.)

The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Wash- ington, offer for sale, the following  TRACTS OF LAND, viz. A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Wash- ington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburgh and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Plaster of Paris, well watered by seve- ral never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives. One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equal- ly favorable to Plaster of Paris. A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One al- to, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, contain- ing 183 acres. These several tracts are in Jefferson (late Berkeley county)—the soil very similar in quality, and particu- larly adapted to the culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Wheat and Indian Corn, situated twelve miles from Harper's Ferry.
One tract containing 571 acres in Frederick county, this land is in the vicinity of the last mentioned tracts and equally valuable. One tract in Hampshire coun- ty containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Springs) and is in the shape of a horse-shoe, the river run- ning almost round it; two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great abundance of the largest Walnut and other trees, which with the produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved naviga- tion of the Potomac) be brought to a ship- ping port with more ease and at a smaller expense, than that which is transported on- ly 30 miles by land.
One third part of 1119 acres in Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and on Nansemond river—this land is confi- dered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it. One tract in Charles county, Maryland, containing 600 acres—it is very level and lies near the river Potomac. One tract in Montgomery county, Maryland, containing 519 acres —This land lies about 30 miles above the City of Washington, not far from Kettoc- tan and is good farming land.
One tract in Pennsylvania, containing 234 acres—This land affords an exceeding good stand on Braddock's road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburg, and a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the loythe. It is distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first action with the French, in the year 1754, was fought.
One other tract on the Mo- hawk river, State of New-York, contain- ing 1000 acres.  In North West Territory. Three tracts lying on Little Miami, con- taining 3054 acres.
In Kentucky. On Rough Creek, one tract containing 3000 acres, ditto adjoining 2000 acres. Indisputable titles can be given for the above lands.  Lots in the City of Washington. Two improved lots near the Capitol square 634. The improvements are, on each an elegant three story brick house. Four other unimproved lots on the East- ern Branch, No. 5, 12, 13 and 14, in square 667. These lots are advantageously situated on the water.
ALEXANDRIA. A few valuable lots in Alexandria, cor- ner of Pitt and Prince-streets, three or four of which are let on ground rent at 3 dollars per foot.  WINCHESTER. One lot in Town of half an acre, adjoining Doctor Makay's, enclosed with a good post and rail fence, and ano-
ther in the commons of about six acres.  Bath, or Warm Springs. Two well situated lots, on one of the small building large enough to accom- modate one family. The terms of sale will be made known by application to either of the subscri- bers. SAMUEL WASHINGTON, Gulpepper county GEORGE S. WASHINGTON, Jefferson, do. WILLIAM A. WASHINGTON, Westmor-  land, do.
