We insert the following at the request of Dr. Rose.
Mr. Snowden,
Considerable pains having been taken to misrepresent and exaggerate the circumstances of my having given information to a member of congress, relative to certain alterations made in a bill agreed upon by the inhabitants of this town, I think it proper to submit to the public the following explanation:
Soon after the last town meeting, I heard a few of the citizens of this town complain that the bill had been altered by the committee, from the state in which it was passed by the town meeting. I had never seen the bill and was acquainted with its provisions only by report, it was therefore utterly impossible for me to have any personal knowledge of it within its original, or altered form. Happening to be in conversation with a member of congress on the subject, I mentioned to him the information I had received, of the unauthorised alterations made in the bill by the committee; and I requested him to send me a copy of the bill, as soon as it should be printed, in order to that I might ascertain the truth of the information I had received. It was with no intention whatever; that this intimation should stand upon my credit, or be considered as a charge against the committee, or an objection to the bill unless the accuracy of the fact could be substantiated. I mentioned it to that member merely, as an inducement for his furnishing me with a copy of the bill for the purpose of investigation. That gentleman urged this information, as a reason, for having the bill printed. His observations on the subject may be seen in the National Intelligencer of the 15th inst. This public information which had been derived from me, produced an application from several members of the town committee. I explained to them the nature of the information I had given and received. They made me solemn assurances that it was unfounded, I found that my informant could not support the charge and therefore made no hesitation in giving the gentlemen, who applied to me, a letter to the member stating that I had reason to believe that I had been incorrectly informed. Since writing that letter I have been furnished with the documents containing the proceedings of the committee and find that there is actually foundation for the information I had at first received. I do not pretend to say how far the town committee exceeded their powers, or their duties, but the simple fact is that the committee did make material alterations in the bill after it passed the town meeting. The most material alterations were made in the first section. Subjoined is a part of the first section as it passed the town meeting (No. 1.) also the same part as afterwards altered by the committee (No. 2.) it is also fair to give the letter of one of the committee explaining and justifying these alterations (No. 3.)
The uncandid and malicious manner in which I have been attacked on this subject, renders it necessary that my motives should be explained. I trust every man of candor will perceive that I had no farther given credit to an unascertained report, than merely to set on foot a proper investigation. —The folly and the malice of those who would pervert such conduct into a serious assertion of the charge have compelled me to search out and to publish the real grounds of the report. It will be found that it was literally true. My fellow-citizens will now be able to judge fully and fairly of the conduct of their committee. It is probable enough the alterations made by them may be approved. It is not for the purpose of involving them in the censure of the public that I enter into these explanations, but to exhibit the motives and the facts that have actuated my own conduct.

Alex. Jan. 18, 1804.
Sir, By the committee of compromise, I am desired to send the enclosed draft of a bill to the Mayor and Common Council, as the result of their deliberations. They have carefully avoided introducing into this bill, any principle or idea variant from what was read at the last town meeting, except the one in the first section, and in this instance, they have connected a sentence which admitted an operation very different from what they would have approved, if then it had been observed and weighed. The alteration being so proper and necessary as to receive general approbation, and being made conformable to the uniform sentiments of the committee, they take this opportunity of stating, that accident having prevented a meeting by reason of the absence of one of the members, they had only the forenoon of one day to prepare their report for the town meeting; and in the present state of the session of Congress, they have been of opinion that the application for the objects of the bill should not be deferred.
I am respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, CHARLES LEE. To Jacob Hoffman, Esquire, Mayor of Alexandria.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, February 17.
On the passage of the bill in addition to "An act 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."
Mr. Elliot moved the following amendment, which was adopted without a division:
"And also all those persons, who, in consequence of known wounds received in the actual service of the United States, during the revolutionary war, have at any period since become disabled in such manner as to render them unable to procure a subsistence by manual labor."
Dr. Latimore, after some preliminary observations, offered the following resolution, which was agreed to.
Resolved, That the committee who was directed to enquire into the expediency of amending the several acts providing for the sale of public lands of the United States, be directed to enquire—
Whether any, and if any, what additional compensation ought to be allowed to the several officers appointed under the act intituled "An act regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States south of the state of Tennessee;"—
Whether any, and if any, what additional allowance ought to be made for the expence of surveying the lands in the Mississippi Territory;
Whether any, and if any, what alterations ought to be made in such parts of the act aforesaid as provide for laying out the public lands in the said territory into townships and sections, and for disposing of the same, agreeable to that plan;
Whether any and if any what reduction in the price and quantity of land ought to be made in favor of those settlers who hold under the third section of the said act, a right of preemption only;—
Whether any, and if any, what further time ought to be allowed for laying in of claims before the register of the land offices in the territory aforesaid;—
Whether it be expedient to exempt from survey such tracts of lands as are sold by the states legally and fully executed; and likewise such tracts, the quantities of which are already ascertained, and the titles to which are confirmed by the act aforesaid: and
Whether an act of Congress be necessary to legalize the proceedings of the commissioners in the district east of Pearl river, in consequence of their not having met on or before the first day of Dec. last, agreeable to the sixth section of the act above mentioned.
Monday, February 20.
A bill for erecting Louisiana into two territories, and making provision for the temporary government thereof, was received from the Senate, and referred to a committee of the whole on Wednesday.
Mr. J. Randolph said the House would recollect that he had on a former day offered a resolution barring any claims derived under any act of the state of Georgia passed in the year 1795, in relation to lands ceded to the United States. It was not his purpose in rising at this time to trespass on the patience of the House. Nor did he know that he should in future offer any remarks additional to those he had already made. But he conceived it his duty to place the subject in such a point of light that every eye, however dim, might distinctly see its true merits. For this purpose he withdrew the resolution which he had before offered, and moved the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the legislature of the state of Georgia were at no time invested with the power of alienating the right of soil possessed by the good people of that state in and to the vacant territory of the same, but in a rightful manner, and for the public good:
That when the governors of any people shall have betrayed the confidence reposed in them and shall have exercised that authority with which they have been clothed for the general welfare, to promote their own private ends, under the barest motives and to the public detriment, it is the unalienable right of a people, so circumstanced, to revoke the authority thus abused, to resume the rights thus attempted to be bartered, and to abrogate the act thus endeavouring to betray them:
That it is in evidence to this House that the act of the legislature of Georgia passed on the 7th of January, 1795, intituled "An act for appropriating a part of the unlocated territory of this state, for the payment of the late state troops, and for other purposes" was passed by persons under the influence of gross and palpable corruption practised by the grantees of the lands attempted to be alienated by the aforesaid act tending to enrich and aggrandize, to a degree almost incalculable, a few individuals, and ruinous to the public interest:
That the good people of Georgia, impressed with general indignation at this act of atrocious perfidy and unparalleled corruption, with a promptitude of decision highly honorable to their character, did by the act of a subsequent legislature passed on the 13th February 1795 under circumstances of peculiar solemnity, and finally sanctioned by the people, who have subsequently engraved it on their constitution, declare the preceding act, and the grants made under it, in themselves, null and void, that the said act should be expunged from the records of the state, and be publicly burnt; which was accordingly done; provision, at the same time, being made for restoring the pretended purchase money to the grantees, by whom, or by persons claiming under them, the greater part of the said purchase money has been withdrawn from the treasury of Georgia:
That a subsequent legislature of an individual state has an undoubted right to repeal any act of a preceding legislature, provided such repeal be not forbidden by the constitution of that state, or of the United States:
That the aforesaid act of the state of Georgia passed on the 13th of February 1795 was forbidden neither by the constitution of that state, nor by that of the United States:
That the claims of persons derived under the aforesaid act of the 7th January, 1795 are recognized neither by any compact between the United States and the state of Georgia, nor by any act of the Federal Government:
Therefore resolved that no part of the five millions of acres reserved for satisfying & granting claims to the lands ceded by the state of Georgia to the United States and appropriated by the act of Congress passed at their last session shall be appropriated to quiet or compensate any claim derived under any act of the state of Georgia passed or alleged to be passed during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five.
On considering the resolutions the House divided—Ayes 53, carried.
Mr. J. Randolph then moved their reference to the committee of the whole on the bill provided for the settlement of land claims to public lands lying south of the state of Tennessee.
Carried, Ayes 50, Nays 30.
A committee was appointed to enquire into the expediency of altering the times of holding the district court of Rhode Island.
Mr. Leib reported a bill to repeal the act fixing the rank and pay of the commanding officer of the corps of marines.
Referred to a committee of the whole on tomorrow.
Mr. Latimore presented a memorial from the merchants of New Orleans, expressive of their attachment to the United States, and disposition to support the constitutional tax, and re-

offering the services under which they labor from the payment of exp. etc.  Referred to the committee of the whole on the bill relating to the registering of vessels in the district of New Orleans.  The bill to a single the courts of the United States, to appoint commissioners to take deposits out of court, &c. having passed through committee of the whole was ordered to a third reading to morrow.  Mr. Newton reported a bill altering the days of session of the district court for the district of Virginia—made the order for Monday next.  The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Vassum in the chair—on the report of a select committee on the bill from the Senate, to divide the Indiana territory into two separate governments. The report, for reasons assigned, recommends a rejection of the bill.  The report was supported by Messrs. Gregg and Lyon principally on the ground that the population around Detroit was too small to justify the expenses attending a separate territorial government, and on the ground that if the advantages derivable from a separate government were conferred on them, the right and would be claimed, with equal justice, by several detached settlements in the Mississippi and Louisiana territories.  The report was opposed by Messrs. Lucas, Tipton, Sloan, and Morrow on a variety of grounds. They contended that equal justice was due to every member of the American community, and that of course, however small the population, it was entitled to the same protection with a community composed of larger numbers; that the distance of this population from St. Vincennes was so great as to deprive them of benefits resulting from the administration of justice; that Michimackinac, which exported produce valued at above 200,000 dollars, and from whose imports the United States derived a revenue of 77,000 dollars was more than 800 miles from the nearest seat of government.  The question being put on agreeing to the report, it passed in the negative—Yeas 34.  When the bill, from the Senate, was read, and amended as to designate the new territory by the name of Michigan , instead of North Western Territory; and the committee rose and reported the bill, which was ordered by the House to a third reading to morrow.  Mr. Thomas, from the joint committee of the two Houses, made a report, specifying the business, in their opinion, necessary to be transacted the present session and concluding with a resolution that be closed the 12th of March.  Messrs. Huger and Varnum advocated an immediate adjournment to the report; and Messrs. Nicholson, Leib, Smith, Findley, and S. L. Mitchell supported a postponement.  The motion to postpone its consideration to Friday was agreed to—Yeas 56—Noes 49.  Dr. Mitchell reported a bill to provide for light houses and buoys &c.  Referred to a committee of the whole.
ous and splendid assembly ever witnessed in this place, at eleven o'clock the Ladies were invited to take a view of the supper room, which was elegantly decorated with a transparent painting of Washington at the east end of the room, and opposite to it, a painting of a Frigate under easy sail; when the Ladies entered the room Washington's March, was commenced by a band which was continued until the Ladies had all moved round the room and taken a view of the decorations on the supper table, which we venture to say, far exceeded any thing of the kind in this part of the country, and did great honor to the provider.  ON the recurrence of this important day, it is impossible for any real friend to his country entirely to refrain from retracing the services of this great and glorious character, or to suppress the sentiments which must follow a contemplation of the reward he has met with, from the ingratitude of his countrymen. In the one and in the other we see the leading traits of republicanism. Its nature is well, is admirably calculated to call forth all the energies of the human mind, to rouse to enthusiasm that first of passions, the love of country; and to exalt the meritorious individual to the highest honors of the community. On no man did it ever produce those effects more powerfully than on this pre-eminent patriot; who was the life of our armies, the soul of our national councils, and, in a very great degree, the author of the exclusive good we now boast the enjoyment of.  And what was his reward for a whole-life passed in conferring blessings on his country? Calumny and detraction while living; opprobrium and obloquy when dead. This also is characteristic of a Republic, such as the demagogues of the United States would persuade us ours is: in their own words— Democratic Republic .  Scarcely had the constitution of the United States been organized, and its chief promoter appointed its chief guardian, ere the jaws of party were distended to devour his reputation. What epithet degradatory of the most abandoned wretch who traduced him have we not seen prefixed to the name of Washington? What crime has not the infernal machinations of an inimical and profligate faction alleged against him?—What art, what device, what species of villainy has been left untried, in order to ruin a fame which was earned by the patient endurance of every toil, the unremitting exercise of every public and private virtue in the promotion of human happiness.  Nor with his life could their malice terminate. The day of his decease was attempted to be established as a day of national rejoicing. That very people who now owe their political existence to his prudence his valour, and his skill in public affairs, was boldly and seditiously called upon to celebrate as a jubilee the day that robbed our country of its brightest ornament, and put a period to the career of its best and most disinterested patron. Oh! no. That delivered us from the trammels of prejudice , and the tyranny of an aristocratical veneration for a man who deserves only our execration as the declared enemy of our government, and of liberty!!!  Gracious God! and is the depravity of our nature so unlimited, that even a veneration for such a character as that of Washington could not have the power to arrest the progress of malice; that the divine splendor which enshrined his reputation could be no protection against the sacrilegious approach of blaspheming slander!  Alas! no. He loved his country. His whole life evinced that the enemies of her prosperity were his enemies. Those who sought to betray her interests, found in him a vigilant sentinel, whom nothing could detach from his duty of watchfulness; and an opponent, whose name alone gave to every thing it sanctioned the distinguishing character of right , whose power over the hearts of the virtuous part of the community, formed an insurmountable obstacle to all their schemes of overturning the lovely fabric of our constitution, and rising to personal distinction on the ruins of social order.  Hence all the aspersion which party malignity has, with unremitting assiduity, aimed against him and his memory. Yet has it not succeeded. Still there are many whose benedictions accompanied him thro' life, and follow him to Heaven. The benefactor of mankind may for a time be neglected, may be traduced, but that justice which is eternal and unerring will rescue his fame from the grasp of his detractors, and posterity will experience the obligation, and bestow the meed, which envy would not suffer his contemporaries to feel or to confer.  It would be an unnecessary and an inter-
minable task, to select all the illustrious names of those who, after having been the authors of their country's salvation, became the object of its deadly hatred, and implacable persecution. Such has ever been the reward of those who have had Democracies for their masters. In this country we have had but too frequently to notice the conduct, and to mark the conformity of character, displayed by those who assume to themselves the appellation of Democrats , and exert their every faculty to convert our republican constitution into a thing to suit their purposes. In nothing has the distinctive marks of this detestable system more glaringly appeared than in the persecution of Washington.  For on that party alone rests all the infamy which attaches to the ingratitude with which he has been treated. Not on their factious, servile, seditious journalists alone would we fix this abhorrent stigma. It extends through their whole ranks; and to their Representatives in Congress, their Senators, nay, to their highest authorities belongs the indelible disgrace. They have all partaken of the crime; they have all with one accord "imbrued their conscience in the blood of Cæsar." Nor would we wish to abate one jot of that execration which must one day overtake such base-  We must limit those reflections which we cannot prevent from rising in our mind, on the contemplation of such a picture.—But who can be entirely silent when he sees and hears such things as are daily done and uttered against the fame of this most exalted man, even under the first patronage in the country, and beneath the sanction of legislative exemption? When he hears his merits either slightly alluded to, or contemptuously passed over, and the well-earned recompence of public approbation and applause, attempted to be torn from him, not merely by a Paine , a Duane , or any other wretched felo de se scribbler, but can it be believed! by Senators, and in the Senate of the United States?  It is unnecessary to say more. "When vice prevails and impious men bear sway," when truth is prohibited under the severe penalties which ought only to pursue the guilty wretch who profanes it; when men in power protect their actions from public scrutiny by the terrors of political prosecutions, under an unwritten, exotic, and almost undefined law, prudence opposed to duty, must confine the indulgence of the indignant resentment which is roused by a survey of such turpitude.  It is not from any apprehensions that the fame of Washington can suffer by all that has been, or can be, done to tarnish or destroy it, that these remarks have proceeded. It is not that we think his reputation can be served by our feeble testimony. It is that we feel for the degeneracy, the infamy of those by whom it has been, and is assailed; and whom we blush to call our fellow-citizens. We thank God that the poison of their darts is daily losing its force, upon the public mind. The people are gradually returning to a sense of the duty they owe to the memory of their deliverer. And we cherish the delightful hope, that we shall see the day when he who shall raise the voice of slander against Washington, will be scouted from society, as a being unworthy the title of an American.  Amongst the few testimonies of gratitude to the memory of the Hero of our revolution which have yet appeared, the Society in this town bearing his name, stands foremost for its design, and bids fair to be the most lasting and beneficial. We do not mean at this time to enter into any detail of its purposes or regulations; one of which latter is, that twice in each year, on the memorable anniversary of our Independence, and of his birth who so largely contributed to the obtaining it, a public oration shall be pronounced, by one of the members, on some subject interesting to the community, and appropriate to the occasion.  That which we heard yesterday, deserves very pointed encomiums, for justness of conception, perspicuity and elegance of composition, and the gracefulness and modest energy with which it was delivered, entirely from memory and without the aid of notes. Mr. Herbert soon overcame that diffidence so very natural to a young man, on first rising before a very crowded assembly, where every eye would be fixed upon him, and where many would doubtless be on the alert to find cause for censure. We have not seen any of the latter description; and we are happy in believing that both the matter and manner of the Oration can defy them. To those, however, who had the pleasure of being present we need not say more; and we will not anticipate the judgment of those who were not, to whom we shall have the satisfaction of submitting the address in our next.
In the fifth line from the conclusion of Dr. Rose's communication, published in our last, it was the writer's intention to have substituted the words to engage in controversy , instead of to bring to public notice —a correction which was overlooked in the haste to transcribe a copy for this press.  Mr. Hoffman's reply to Dr. Rose will appear to-morrow.  Mr. Snowden,  A paper containing the following curious particulars was this day sent to me, wrapped about a parcel of figures.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.  FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24.  Anniversary.  Yesterday the Nativity of WASHINGTON was celebrated in this place, in that truly rational and dignified style, which reflects the highest honor on the admirers of departed worth. The Washington Society of Alexandria, instituted for the laudable purpose of commemorating the virtues, and the glorious actions of that much lamented citizen, and also to aid and perpetuate certain charities, which his humane and munificent mind delighted to exercise, assembled at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel at 12 o'clock, the children of the Washington Free School, forty in number, to which this Society contributes annually a portion of its funds, assembled at the same place, who were all uniformly clad at the expence of the Society; at a signal gun they were drawn up in military order, in front of the Hotel, on their right a band of music, the Members of the Society headed by the Orator and Officers passed them in review, when the boys with an appropriate manoeuvre of the hat saluted the Society with a promptitude and exactness which would not have disgraced disciplined troops, here the heart that delights in charity, had an opportunity of feasting on the countenances of this grateful little band; the procession proceeded with marshal music to the Presbyterian Church—The services of the day commenced with solemn music, after which the Rev. Mr. Maffet, addressed the Throne of Grace in a short, but instructive prayer, which was followed by an Anthem; when John Carlisle Herbert, Esq. delivered an Oration. The Society returned in the same order, when a discharge of 17 rounds from the Market-square, was fired in presence of the Society by a platoon of its members.  In the evening an entertainment was given at Gadsby's, which was the most numer-

ELEGANT EDITION
OF THE HOLY BIBLE.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, (in four handsome octavo volumes)
THE HOLY BIBLE,
CONTAINING
The Old and New Testaments.
CONDITIONS.
It shall be printed on a superfine wove paper, with an elegant new type.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars per vol. in boards, or Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, handsomely bound and lettered.
To those who subscribe for several copies, a discount will be made, proportioned to the number subscribed for.
THE advantage of having this invaluable book printed on a large type, and at the same time, in portable and convenient volumes, appears so evident, that the encouragement necessary to warrant an undertaking of such magnitude, is confidently expected; a portable volume would often be taken up, in a moment of leisure, when the size of a large, unwieldy folio, would operate as an apology for leaving it unopened, in this way, small portions of time would be profitably employed, which might otherwise be totally lost. In large families a Bible in volumes, affording an opportunity for several to read at once, may sometimes be peculiarly convenient: it seems superfluous to add much on this subject—suffice it to say, that no reasonable expense or pains shall be spared, to render this edition of the Holy Scriptures both correct and elegant.
The above work is in press, and will be finished about the end of the present year.
Subscriptions received by R. and J. Gray, King Street, where a specimen of the paper and printing may be seen.
