PITT & HIS STATUE,
A SATIRICAL POEM.
By Peter Pindar. Jan. 19.
TO BE SOLD,
At Public Sale, on Thursday the tenth of March,
THE subscriber's life estate, in that valuable FARM, known by the name of the Walnut-Tree Farm, situate on the south side of the river Potomac, about four miles below Alexandria. This farm contains 360 acres, of which about 100 are in wood, and the rest arable. The buildings consist of a two story brick house, handsomely finished, and a two story frame kitchen adjoining the house; a two story frame house for an overseer; a frame quarter capable of accommodating 15 or 20 persons; and a large well built barn, with grainaries, stables, and an extensive shed for cattle. The beauty and salubrity of this situation is exceeded by none on the river Potomac. The arable land is divided into convenient fields, and the soil is good for the production of small grain. There are on the premises a thriving young orchard of apple and peach trees, and about 40 acres of wheat in the ground. The extent of this farm on the river (being more than a mile) affords an opportunity for an industrious farmer to collect large quantities of manure, and the excellent FISHERY attached to it, on which are two very good and convenient fish houses, must greatly enhance its value.
At the same time will be sold on the premises (if not disposed of before at private sale) upwards of twenty NEGROES together with the Stock of Horses, Cattle, Sheep and farming utensils on the place.
The terms of payment to be cash for all sums under one hundred dollars; from one to two hundred dollars, sixty days credit; and for all sums above two hundred dollars, one half in sixty, and one half in ninety days, the purchaser giving approved notes negotiable in the Banks of Alexandria or Columbia. TOBIAS LEAR. Alexandria, Feb. 11.
To Rent,
A small 2 story frame House, situate at the lower end of Water street. For terms apply to Wm. H. and E. M. LYLES. Feb. 12.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, February 15.
An engrossed bill to make provision for persons that have been disabled by known wounds received in the actual service of the United States during the revolutionary war, was read the third time and passed.
An engrossed bill entitled an act in addition to an act, entitled an act more effectually to provide for the national defence by establishing an uniform militia throughout the United States, was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Helms made a report from the committee appointed to enquire whether any and what provision ought to be made by law for allowing pensions to persons who do, at this time, labor under disabilities in consequence of known wounds received in the actual service of the U. States, and who have not heretofore been provided for; and who were also instructed to enquire into the expediency of extending the time for the settlement of claims for services rendered, and supplies furnished during the revolutionary war.
The report was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Randolph from the committee of Ways and Means, presented a bill making an appropriation for the support of the Navy of the United States for the year 1803.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Friday next.

Referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday next.
Mr. S. Smith, from the committee of Commerce and Manufactures, to whom was referred a petition of Hezekiah Pinckney and others, owners and masters of vessels within the United States, reported a bill for erecting a light house, at the entrance of Penobscot Bay, or any other place, in its vicinity, that may be deemed preferable by the secretary of the treasury.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday next.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of a select committee respecting claims against the United States, for the services of the militia of the state of Georgia.
Mr. John C. Smith in the chair.
The report is as follows: The COMMITTEE to whom was referred the report of the Secretary of War, together with sundry documents respecting claims against the United States, to compensation for services performed by certain militia within the state of Georgia, during the years 1793 and 1794.
RESPECTFULLY REPORT—
THAT it appears to your committee, that the said services were performed under circumstances which render them a just claim to compensation from the government of the United States, and that said government hath already gone far in recognizing their validity, by settling with and making payment to the contractor who furnished supplies to the said militia, whilst engaged in performing the same services for which they now claim compensation.
Your committee therefore beg leave to submit the following resolutions.
Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law, for the payment of certain militia employed within the state of Georgia, during the years 1793 and 1794, for the defence of said state.
After debate the committee rose reported progress and asked leave to sit again, which was granted by the house.
The house went into a committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the report of the committee of claims on the petition of the Mayor and Commonality of Alexandria, and reported their agreement to the same, in which report the House concurred as follows:
Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law, for the regulation of quarantine within the district of Columbia.
Resolved that so much of the memorial of the Mayor and Commonality of the town of Alexandria, as prays for a reimbursement of money by them expended
in executing the quarantine law of Virginia, is unreasonable and ought not to be granted.
Ordered that Messrs. Mitchell, Eustis and Elmer, be a committee to bring in a bill or bills pursuant to the first resolution.
Wednesday, February 16.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill to prevent the importation of certain persons in certain states where by the laws thereof their admission is prohibited.
Mr. Hastings moved to amend the bill so as to prohibit the importation only of French negroes and persons of colour.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. Hill and Bacon, and lost without a division.

The motion was supported by Mr. Hill and opposed by Messrs. Newton, Lowndes and Mott, and lost.

The house went into a committee of the whole, (John C. Smith in the chair) on the bill to amend the act entitled an act to amend the Judicial System of the U. States.
The bill is follows:

And be it further enacted, That the senior associate justice, resident in the fifth circuit, shall attend at the City of Washington, on the first Monday of August in each and every year, who shall possess the same powers, and is required to perform the same duties, as are prescribed in the second section of the act, entitled, "An act to amend the judicial system of the U. States."
Mr. Elmer moved to strike out the first section.

The house immediately took up the report, when on motion of Mr. Mott, the yeas and nays were taken on concurring with the committee of the whole in their disagreement to the 1st section of the bill, and carried, yeas 48, nays 40.
On motion of Mr. Bayard the further consideration of the bill was postponed till Saturday.

Motion lost, Ayes 34, Noes 36.
Mr. Randolph observed—that he had no disposition to press a final decision when the house was thin; but as he did not wish a question of so much importance to be decided at so late a period of the session, when many of the members were absent, he would move a postponement of the subject to the first Monday in November.
Carried, Ayes 33, Noes 31.
BOSTON, Jan. 5.
The Hon. Timothy Pickering, it is said, will be considered a candidate for the seat in the Senate of the United States to be vacated by the resignation of the Hon. D. Foster.
The weather this winter has been uncommonly variable. On Thursday we had the warm rains usual in May, with a thunder shower, accompanied with sharp lightning.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 11.
The Editors of the N. York Gazette yesterday received a letter from their correspondent at St. Croix, of the 4th ult. which says, "We have just received information that we are to have a new Governor-General, in the place of General Wolferstorf, who will, on the 16th of next month, resign, and install General Mullenfeldts, who is appointed by the King Governor-General of His Danish Majesty's West-India Islands. This appointment gives great satisfaction to the inhabitants, as he is a man of the strictest probity, great good sense, and universally beloved; and, there is no doubt of his doing every thing in his power for the benefit of the colony."
"We have in this harbor, a number of American vessels; and 12 or 15 Danish ships have just arrived, which will reduce the price of European Goods. Salt has been very high, Beef is 18 dollars, Pork 24, Flour 8, and in great abundance, Irish Butter 24."
Our correspondent has favored us also with the particulars relative to the capture, by the French, of the schr. Maria Meeks, of Norfolk; but they are similar with those already published in this Gazette. She was, however, still under quarantine at St. Croix, in consequence of having the yellow fever on board; but would be ordered away, as soon as cleared.
Capt. Aubrey, who arrived at this port yesterday in 17 days from New-Orleans, informs us that at the time of his departure the port continued shut to American vessels. No French troops had arrived there; and nothing of importance had recently occurred.
February 14.
THE LATEST.
Yesterday arrived here the fast-sailing new ship Delaware, after a passage of only thirty-six days from Greenock. To captain Beebe and a respectable mercantile house of this city, we are indebted for London papers to the 2d, and Glasgow papers to the 5th of January. These papers mention, That
Accounts from Alexandria, of the date of Sept. 20, states that war still continued to be carried on between the Turks and Mamelukes in Egypt. Both parties having had several severe skirmishes.—During the cessation of arms for some days the Turks formed the design of surprising the camp of the Mamelukes by night, and putting every man of them to the sword. The Mamelukes being apprised of the of the plan; and on the night of treachery arriving, silently retired from the camp and formed an ambush. When the Turks arrived, and found the camp deserted, they proceeded to plunder. During this scene of disorder and confusion, they were attacked by the Mamelukes, and not a foul of them escaped. There were not twenty of the assailants killed. The Turks acknowledged the loss of 2000, but it appears to have fallen short of the real number. The British still kept possession of Alexandria, and it was uncertain whether it would be evacuated very soon.
The late earthquake appears to have extended over the greatest part of the Turkish empire.
At Algiers, on the 7th November, the

shock of an earthquake was so violent at that place, that the people for more than 40 seconds, expected every moment to be buried under the ruins of their houses. Several houses have been damaged, and most of the houses rent. A village six leagues from Algiers, containing two hundred houses, was destroyed, and all the inhabitants perished. Two English ships of the line felt the shock in a violent degree, at the distance of thirty miles from land.
At Constantinople, only a few houses in the suburbs of Pera have been injured.
Malta, it appears, is still to be retained by the English. It is said that 6000 troops will be stationed at that place.
It had been a custom, for all ships passing up the Elbe, to salute the Danish battery of Gluckstadt: Bonaparte had suddenly issued his mandate to his French Minister, to signify to his Danish Majesty, "That upon consulting all subsisting treaties and precedents of every description, it appeared that the Elbe is a free river, and that the Danish flag could not, in consequence, exact from any nation, those marks of homage or salute, to which it supposed itself to be entitled; that the French would, in consequence of those considerations, pass up and down the Elbe as before, without saluting, and that Denmark would of course not demand salutation even from the smallest States of Europe in amity with the French people." The expence of enlarging and fortifying the fortress of Gluckstadt, has cost the Danes two millions of crowns.
An article from Berne of the 23d Dec. mentions, that the Senate had received important intelligence from Paris, relative to the audience which the Helvetic Deputies had with the First Consul. At that audience Bonaparte explained the system which should serve as the basis of the future organization of Switzerland. Among other things he mentioned the following; "If Switzerland should enjoy perfect independence, as to her domestic affairs, it is not exactly the same as to her relations with the French people.—England has not, and ought not, to have any relation with Switzerland; her dangerous emissaries cannot be tolerated in that country." Again—"Switzerland has one mode of aspiring at certain greatness: this would be by her incorporation with France, of which she would form but two departments: but she has been separated from that country by nature, who has herself fixed its limits. She may enjoy perfect security if she remains tranquil, if she preserves her manners, her usages, her laws, in short, her neutrality. She would have, besides, nobody capable, by his authority and by his consideration, or by great services to his country, of being placed at the head of affairs. Nothing but a federal government, adapted to the ancient constitution, but without inequality, without subjects, without privileges, or patricians, can suit Switzerland." General Berthier is stated to have passed through Brussels on his way to the Hague. It would seem that some object of considerable importance was in discussion between the First Consul and the Batavian Republic.
The sovereignty of Saltzburg is to be ceded to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. A Convention to that effect having been signed at Vienna.
The equipment of vessels in the French ports is carried on with the greatest activity.
A private letter from Paris mentions, that a new expedition of not less than 20,000 men is about to be sent from France to St. Domingo. Another letter mentions, that 4000 soldiers, of the most abandoned description, are ordered to embark at Havre for St. Domingo. Which implies that the regular troops are not willing to go on the service, or the government is unwilling to throw them away.
Paswan Oglou was conducting himself with the greatest fidelity to the Turkish government; but a new adventurer has started up, who has assumed the title of Sultan; he is the son of a Pacha, but his forces are not very numerous.
On the 29th of December the British Parliament adjourned, to meet again on the 3d of February.
London, December 20. According to intelligence from Constantinople by the way of Vienna, the Bey in Egypt have defeated the Turks in 7 different actions, by which the latter have been so weakened and reduced, that they have been compelled to apply to the Eng-
lish for aid and protection, to prevent their being driven out of the country.
The Meditating Powers have presented a note to Baron d'Albini for the deputa- tion of the empire, acknowledging the re- ceipt of the D finite Conclusum , which they represent as fixing, for the present, in an invariable manner, the arrangement of the indemnities; and they call upon the Deputation, to terminate without de- lay, the objects which still remain for its discussion. The formal consent of the em- peror is, it appears, not waited for. Most of the German States have been put in ci- vil possession of the Government and reve- nues of the territories allotted to them, with the exception, however, of the Elec- tor of Bavaria, who is still excluded from Passau.
The troubles in the Gironde are not yet appeased.
Two thousand Batavian troops were to embark last week for the West-Indies.
The departure of the French troops for Louisiana has been deferred for a fort- night.
Hague, December 11.
General Montrichard, late commander of the French troops in Helvetia, has arrived in this city. He is to take the command of the auxiliary French division, which still remains in the service of the Batavian Republic. He appears likewise to be charged with the superintendence of the preparations the French are making for the expedition to Louisiana, General Victor, who is to command this expedi- tion, has not yet rejoined the troops, and the rest of the establishment assembled for the voyage but he is soon expected.
The French government has paid the bills drawn on it last spring, by its agents in America; and to obviate the inconve- nience which its commanders in the West-Indies have experienced from the want of credit to obtain provisions &c. the Chief Consul has established a fund in the Unit- ed States, adequate to any immediate oc- casion.
Capt. Haley, in 12 days from Cape- Francois, informs us that the Blacks were completely subdued, and all was tranquil; that a week before he failed, two French 74 gun ships, having on board 1500 troops, arrived from Toulon; that a fleet of 15 sail was hourly expected; that it was healthy at the Cape; that four ships of war failed the day of the Sophia's de- parture; one of 80 guns, with Admiral La Touche and General Rochambeau on board, for Cape Nichola-Mole; one for France, and the other two for Port-au- Prince; and, that American produce would barely pay freight; but a rise was expected on the arrival of the troops.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.
On Saturday arrived in this city in the brig Syren, capt. John Patterson from Leghorn, Robert Morris & Shandy Yard, late mate and Stewart of the brig Franklin capt. Andrew Morris, which was captur- ed on the 17th of June last, and carried into Tripoli. They inform that they were liberated on the 21st of September last by the interference of the Dey of Al- giers; that they were five in number, four were left at Algiers the 21st Octo- ber, and capt. Morris remained at the house of Mr. O'Brien, American Con- sul.
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21.
We had this morning put into our hands a bill for "more effectually providing for the organization of militia of the District of Columbia." Its length precludes its entire insertion, and this may be the more unnecessary, as we hope it will not be en- acted into a law until it undergoes some modification. Annexed are the 22d and 29th sections, which are the most mate- rial, inasmuch as they establish the fines and regulate the equipment, though these are not the only exceptionable provisions in this bill.
"Sec. 22. Be it enacted, That the following forfeitures and penalties shall be incurred for delinquencies, viz. By a lieutenant colonel commandant, or com- manding officer of a legion, for failing to take an oath to summon any court or board, or failing to give notice of a brigade or legionary, or battalion muster; to report delinquencies, to make returns of his le- gion, shall for each and every such offence or neglect, forfeit and pay a sum not ex- ceeding seventy dollars; for failing to
send into service any militia legally call- ed for, or turn out his militia upon an in- vasion or insurrection of his county, three hundred dollars. By a major, for failing to take an oath, to attend any court or board, to give notice of any brigade, legi- onary, or battalion muster, to examine his battalion, to report delinquencies, or to make any return, he shall forfeit and pay for each offence and neglect, a sum not exceeding thirty dollars; for fail- ing to call forth his battalion with cor- respondence; any detachment of men or offi- cers as shall be required from time to time by the commanding officer of his legion, or any call from the President of the Unit- ed States, invasion of, or insurrection in his county, or requisition from the neigh- bouring county, one hundred and fifty dollars. By a captain for failing to take an oath, to attend any court, to enrol his men, to give notice of a brigade, legiona- ry, or battalion muster, to attend any muster armed, to cause his roll to be cal- led, examine his company and report de- linquencies, or to allot his company into divisions, from one to ten, for a regula- routine of duty, or to make any return as directed by this act, he shall forfeit and pay for each and every offence and neglect, a sum not exceeding twenty dollars; failing to call forth such officers and men, as shall from time to time be legally called from his company, upon any call from the Pre- sident of the United States, invasion of, or insurrection in the county, or requisition from the adjacent county, or failing on such occasions to repair to the place of ren- dezvous, he shall forfeit and pay seventy five dollars. By a subaltern officer, for failing to take an oath, to attend any court or muster, armed as directed, for each and every such offence he shall for- feit and pay a sum, at the discretion of the court, not exceeding ten dollars; fail- ing to repair to the place of rendezvous, armed as required, when ordered, upon any call of the President, invasion of, or insurrection in the county, or requisition from the neighboring county, shall for- feit and pay fifty dollars, to be adjudged of and determined by the respective legi- onary courts of enquiry. By a non-com- missioned officer or soldier, for failing to repair to his rendezvous when ordered upon any call from the President, invasion of, or insurrection in the county or requi- sition from the neighboring county, he shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding fifty dollars, to be adjudged of and deter- mined by the respective battalion courts of enquiry, and, moreover, shall be en- rolled in a class defined to perform the next tour of duty: all officers failing as beforementioned, shall be subject to be arrested, tried, censured, or cashiered, at the discretion of the battalion courts of enquiry. Any non-commissioned of- ficer or soldier failing to attend at his brigade, legionary, battalion, or compa- ny muster, armed and equipped as the law directs, shall forfeit and pay a sum not less than seventy five cents, nor more than five dollars, at the discretion of the battalion courts of enquiry. If any non- commissioned officer or private shall be returned as a delinquent in not appearing, armed and accoutred as the law directs, the court of enquiry before whom the same shall be tried, may, if it appear reasonable, remit the fine incurred by him, provided every such delinquent shall make it appear that he was unable to procure the legal e- quipment. Any private at or near the muster ground at any legionary, battalion, or company muster, who shall refuse or neglect to go into the ranks when requir- ed, shall forfeit and pay ten dollars. "Sec. 29. And be it further enacted, That all non-commission officers and pri- vates belonging to battalion companies, shall appear while on duty, uniformly clothed, the color and fashion of which uniforms to be determined on for the re- spective legions, by the first legionary courts of enquiry which shall be held, and to be approved of by the brigadier general, provided the expence of the same, additional to that of usual, ordinary and cheap clothing, does not exceed five dol- lars for each person, and every such non- commissioned officer, or drummer, or fifer, or private, appearing at any muster held after three months from the time that such uniforms shall have been determined on, and the order relative thereto shall have been published, in some newspaper within the legionary district, and not wearing the same, shall be fined five dollars for each offence, unless he can make it appe- ar to the satisfaction of the court of enquiry of the battalion to which he may belong, that he was unable to equip himself."
The bill provides that there shall be 9 musters for privates and 12 for officers in the course of the year.

Extract of a letter from Havannah, da- ted Jan. 15.
"We have had a severe gale of wind in which three vessels were lost in this har- bour, several vessels were cast away on the coast of Florida and reports says seven Gu- inamen were lost on the south side of this island and all the Negroes perished.
A London paper of the 10th of Dec. gives the following—"Letters have been received here from the highest authority in Madrid, which state positively, that Louisiana does not remain ceded to France."
By the Mars from New Orleans, which left the 17th ult. we learn that the dispatch-boat from our government had reached there previous to her departure, and the Intendant so far from relaxing or regarding the recommendation of Cheva- lier D'Yrujo to restore the right of depo- sit; treated his interference with the ut- most contempt, and persisted in his con- duct with unabated rigour. It is further stated, that no other opinion was enter- tained at New Orleans, than that the In- tendant was acting from positive instructi- ons from his Court, which were consi- dered as originating with France. That both political parties at Natches (which he left the 6th of Jan.) were in favor of immediate and energetic measures of re- dress, and were fully persuaded with the inhabitants of New Orleans, that the ex- ecutive would ensure the restoration of our rights.
