CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, Nov. 18. Debate on the bill fixing the SALARIES of certain Officers therein mentioned. CONTINUED.
Mr. J. Randolph. The gentleman from Pennsylvania asks for information, and professes ignorance of the duties of the attorney general. I believe those duties are prescribed by law. As to his compensation, the first act, passed under this government, gave him 1500 dollars. In 1792, 400 dollars were added; and in 1797, 500 dollars more were added, making in the whole 2,400 dollars. By the act of March 1799, this salary, with the others, was raised to 3,000 dollars. It appears to me that these progressive additions made to the original salary of this officer, furnish proof that it has heretofore been too low. The gentleman proposes to make the salary 2,000 dollars; when before the passage of the act of March 1799, it was 2,400 dollars. In my turn let me ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and it is the first enquiry I have made of him, his reasons for reducing this salary below that fixed previously to 1799? I understand him as willing to put the salaries generally on the same footing on which they stood before the passage of the act of 1799. This salary was then 2,400 dollars; it then was increased with the rest, and having been increased proportionally with them is a reason with me that it is not exorbitant and does not require diminution. I have no other reason to offer. The gentleman asks if the important officers at the head of the state and treasury departments receive only 3,000 dollars, why we give 3,000 dollars to an inferior officer. For the plainest reason on earth. We must give him a salary that will enable him to live in a comfortable manner. I agree with the gentleman, if we were to remunerate our officers in the ratio of their merits, and were to give the comptroller 3,000 dollars, we ought to give to the head of the department at least 50,000 dollars. I speak as to the offices, not as to the men that fill them. But this is impossible. It is, however, proper that every man should live in some style; however we may reason on this point, the feelings of men will decide it. This is my reason for giving the attorney general 3,000 dollars. If I am asked, why give our clerk 2,000, or his chief clerk 1,300 dollars, I have no other reason. There is no doubt, if we give our door keeper 800 dollars, 5,000 dollars is not competent to the secretary of state; but it is necessary, nevertheless, to give our door keeper enough to live on, that we may insure his daily faithful services.
While I am up, I will take the opportunity of making an explanation, which will show how far I have been misunderstood by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I did not state, as represented by him, that the contingent expenses of the departments were profuse, or that any reform could be made in them. But I went over the list to show that, if the object of gentlemen really was to make a saving of the public money, it was in them that it was to be made, and not in the salaries of particular officers. I stated that in the department of the treasury, whose whole expenses are 100,000 dollars, it was idle to attempt an economical reform by curtailing a few salaries. I could not have stated that I considered the departments as conducted with profusion, for I do not believe it.
I also stated that gentlemen who wished to save money should resort to the marine and military departments, and that they were the two great sinks of nations; but I did not state that they were the sinks of this nation. Did the gentleman ever hear of a nation ruined by its civil list? I do not, however, mean to say that abuses should be tolerated in the civil list; but that in great pecuniary reforms, we ought to begin with the marine, the army, diplomatic expenses, and then come to the civil list, thus embracing a full enquiry into the expenditures of the government.
Mr. Skinner said he was for continuing the salaries as they stood. If he were disposed at all to alter them, he should be in favor of raising that of the attorney general. The reason at first, assigned for the smallness of the salary of this officer was the residence of the government at a commercial city, where he could discharge the duties of his office without sacrificing his professional pursuits. This reason had ceased.
Mr. J. Clay merely rose to answer one question of the gentleman from Virginia, who had asked why he was in favor of reducing this salary. Simply, because the
services rendered by the officer were more than adequately compensated.
Mr. Nicholson observed that the gentleman from Pennsylvania was mistaken in saying that the attorney general was more than compensated for his services. Mr. N. could not say, with precision, what those services were. But he knew that there was scarcely a law in relation to the revenue that did not come under the view of this officer for his advice and opinion. He knew that he was frequently called upon by the heads of the departments for his opinion of the construction of laws. He was also a member of the Cabinet, and was bound to give an opinion in writing to the President, whenever required. It was, therefore, absolutely necessary that this officer should be a man of the first talents and integrity. Mr. N. was of opinion that he ought to be a man of equal talents and integrity with those at the head of the departments. Not however being obliged to relinquish all professional pursuits, it was not necessary that he should have an equal salary with them.
For some time it had been the practice of the government to compensate the attorney general for extra services. For such services, performed under the British treaty he had been allowed 600 dollars. His salary, with this additional compensation, had never been heretofore considered as more than sufficient. It was true that his duties were not so arduous as those of the heads of the state and treasury departments, but they require equal talents and integrity; and if the officer should be brought from a distance, he ought to be enabled to live comfortably.
Mr. Goddard asked if the 600 dollars, alluded to by the gentleman from Maryland, did not make part of the salary of 3,000 dollars given the attorney general, although the services for which the 600 dollars were allowed were at an end.
Mr. Nicholson replied that the gentleman was mistaken. The attorney general had received 3,600 dollars since the year 1799, when the salary was raised to 3,000 dollars.
Mr. Goddard said he considered the augmentation of the salary from 2,400 to 3,000 dollars as having arisen from the temporary duties of that officer, which augmentation was made by a temporary law.
Mr. Nicholson. By an act passed in 1797, an additional compensation of 600 dollars was allowed this officer. In 1799, his salary was fixed at 3,000 dollars. He accordingly received thereafter 3,600 dollars, until his temporary duties under the English convention were completed.
The question to fill the blank with 3,000 dollars was then carried in the affirmative—Ayes 69—Noes 30.
The remaining blanks in the bill were thereupon filled, as we have already stated.
Tuesday, Jan. 24.
Mr. Dawson presented the petitions of Ann Alricks and Judith Crow, both of the District of Columbia praying to be freed from their matrimonial obligations. After the reading of which, Mr. Dawson stated that although he was not acquainted with either of the petitioners, he had reason to believe that they were persons of the most reputable connections and great propriety of conduct—that the petition of the first lady was supported by one from some of the first characters in the town of Alexandria—he moved the reference of them to a committee formerly appointed on the petition of Marcell Stanton which was done, and Mr. Dawson and Mr. Smilie added to that committee.
Wednesday, Jan. 25.
Mr. Nicholson, from the committee on the memorial of the city council of Washington reported a bill supplementary to the act incorporating the inhabitants of the city.
Referred to the committee of the whole to morrow.
Mr. Nicholson, from the same committee, reported a bill for laying out a public road, &c., in the county of Washington, district of Columbia.
Referred in like manner.
Mr. Battimore, from the committee on the memorial of the Mississippi Legislature, and a petition from sundry individuals, made a report, which was referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. J. Randolph from the committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill for fixing the salaries of certain executive officers.
Referred to a committee of the whole to morrow.
Dr. Mitchill, from the committee of Commerce and Manufactures, made a detailed report (which shall be soon published) on various petitions from citizens of New York and Philadelphia, relative to the encouragement of their trades and arts.
The report after an elaborate train of reasoning recommends an increase or diminution of the duties at present laid on some articles, and an entire exemption of others from duty.
Referred to a committee of the whole to morrow.
The House went into a committee of the whole—Mr. John C. Smith in the chair—on the report of the committee of ways & means on the amendments of the Senate to the bill giving effect to the laws of the United States in Louisiana.
The committee of Ways and Means recommended a disagreement to the first amendment of the Senate, providing for a part of entry at Natchez.
On concurring with this part of the report, a debate of several hours ensued, on the expediency of constituting Natchez a port of entry; when the question being taken, the committee of the whole voted a disagreement to the report of the committee of Ways and Means, only 33 members rising in favor of it. It will be perceived that this decision is a virtual agreement to the amendment of the Senate for constituting a port of entry at Natchez.
Having made progress in the amendment the committee rose, and had leave to sit again.
The Speaker communicated a letter received from the Secretary of the Treasury, with a statement of the exports of the United States for the past year.
AT a meeting of the inhabitants of George Town on Wednesday, the 25th inst. at John H. Barney's Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration, measures proper to be adopted by the proprietors and inhabitants of said Town, respecting the petitions now before Congress, relative to building a bridge over the Potomac.
Daniel Rentzel Mayor of the Town, was called to the chair.
William O. Sprigg, was appointed Secretary. Messrs. John Mason, Benjamin Souders, John T. Mason, Thomas S. Lee, Daniel Rentzel, and William O. Sprigg were appointed a committee to draft a memorial to congress, stating a belief of the citizens of this town, that their rights would be invaded and their interests injured by the erection of a bridge at the place proposed.
Messrs. John Threlkeld, John Peter, Adam King, Abner Ritchie, Thomas Corcoran & Wm. Steward appointed to receive signatures to the memorial.
Messrs. John T. Mason, and John Mason were appointed to present the memorial, and to attend, if necessary, congress, or any Committee of Congress on the subject.
A person who has been a sufferer from having his slaves harboured, requires the attention of a particular description of persons to the following section of an act passed by the legislature of Virginia entitled— An Act to amend the Act, entitled an Act to reduce into one, the several acts concerning slaves, &c. &c.
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted , That all free persons who shall be convicted before any magistrate of a county or corporation court, of harbouring or entertaining any slave without the consent of his or her master, mistress or overseer shall forfeit and pay immediately the sum of ten dollars to the use of the informer, and in case of failure to make payment thereof, to be required by the magistrate before whom such person shall be brought, to give bond and approved security for his or her appearance at the next court to be holden for the said county or corporation, and in the mean time to be of good behaviour, or stand committed until the same shall be performed. And in case the person so offending shall be a free negro or mulatto, and shall be unable to pay the said sum, then to receive such corporal chastisement, not exceeding thirty nine lashes, as the magistrate shall determine upon.

Democratic Defaulter.
Who has yet forgotten the two successful lies of Duane (for which Jefferson has so generously rewarded him) and the infamous fabrication of a committee of congress, to deceive the people into a notion that some of the late federal officers, among the best and most deserving men of the country, had cheated the public, and embezzled large sums of money! Those falsehoods are given up now by the democrats, because they have no longer any use or necessity for them. But still federalists can not help advertizing to them, when another instance has occurred to confirm the truth, that in the only case in which the public have ever really been cheated, the guilty officers have been and are democrats. Edmund Randolph, of Virginia, a democrat turned out of office by general Washington, has been sued for a balance of fifty one thousand dollars, wherein he is found in arrears to the government. And it now appears at last, that another democrat, Edward Livingston of New York appointed by Jefferson to the office of district attorney, has absconded and suffered a judgment against him to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, on account of public monies collected in his hands and applied to his own use. So far, so good. But what makes the matter better is, that Mr. Livingston is the same democratic orator, who used to oppose Mr. Adams's administration so violently in congress, and who brought forward the famous resolution, and made the famous speech against President Adams about Jonathan Robbins's case: Withall he is the same Mr. Livingston who was expected to vote for Mr. Burr in preference at Jefferson on the election of president by the house of representatives, who held the note vote for Burr but voted for Mr. Jefferson, and who was immediately afterwards, as well as several other members of congress in the same situation, promoted to office by Mr. Jefferson. So much for the present, by way of beginning, for we do not intend to quit the matter until we have said all we can to get the people to reflect as they ought. We shall add nothing more (now then) prophecy, that by the time our democratic gentry have run on a little longer, and we have gained "a view of whole ground," it will be generally told in the words of the good book—"But it happened unto them according to the true proverb. The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire."

Louisiana Salt.
Dr. Waterhouse, of Boston, has received a specimen of the Louisiana Salt from Washington; and with it the following information—"That this mountain of salt was discovered by the Rev. Colonel Collart, who was in the French army in our revolutionary war, and who was afterward a Governor of one of the West India islands; but who travelled through Louisiana, about five years ago, by order of the French government, who it seems had then determined on possessing it. When he returned from that country to the seat of our government, he gave, among other interesting particulars, an account of a vast mountain of Salt, and exhibited a specimen, which he took from it with his own hand. The respectability of Governor Collart precluded all shadow of doubt on this subject of Natural History."
"Not long since the Chief of the Choctaw Nation, with several others of high respectability from that numerous and friendly tribe of Indians were on a visit to the seat of government when they unequivocally declared that in their ranges far up the Red River, they came to a large plain, extending almost to the margin of the river the surface of which appeared to be one continued mass of Salt. On being shown a lump of that sent here from the mountain near the Mississippi, they declared it to be the same kind they had seen on the Red river."
The specimen sent to Dr. W. is too small for any experiment. It appears, however not so hard as several specimens in the Cabinet at Cambridge; some of which are so perfectly transparent, that we can read through a piece two thirds of an inch thick. No study tends to rub off prejudices and to enlarge our views like Natural History.

ANTHONY PASQUIN.
The following remarks on the character of Anthony Pasquin, extracted from the National Register, deserve to be honorably noticed. The Editor of that paper, although generally a democrat, has repeatedly adopted the language and the spirit of genuine republicanism. By his judicious and well-timed remarks on this pitiful foreigner, he has, at least for the moment, raised himself aloof from that fawning, cringing servility, which too generally characterizes the democratic Editors of the country. His observation on noisy, meddling imported patriots, is peculiarly correct and pertinent. "We have," says he, "We have already enough, in all conscience, of these imported patriots among us." "We want," he continues, "no more Pasquins, nor Pasquinades, to cherish the flame of discord, or to keep alive the spirit of resentment." We have, indeed, enough of Duane, and Cheetham, and Pasquin-men, ever on the watch for objects on which to level their calumny—ever hankering after scandal—ever vociferating slander. When will the good sense of our fellow-citizens teach them to reject the mad counsels of these impertinent strangers? When will Americans cease to be led about, cajoled and deluded by the merest refuse of Europe? N. Y. Com. Adv.
Anthony Pasquin alias John Williams. It is with sincere and unfeigned regret, that we see this foreign renegado seeking an establishment, and finding encouragement among us. After having run the gauntlet in Europe, after having run down his reputation and fortune in his own country, after having run away from merited chastisement beyond the Atlantic, he is now attempting to run himself into consequence, with the administration, by running down the characters of all who formerly conducted the affairs of our nation. In pursuance of this plan, he issued at Boston, on the 4th instant, the first number of a semi-weekly paper, to which he has given the title of the "Democrat." This paper, we understand, grows out of the "Gazetteer" which was begotten by the "Telegraph." During the period of its last transformation, it was conducted with decency, and by native Americans, and we are sincerely sorry to find it has fallen into the hands of a hireling scribbler, who (if we know him rightly) has neither talents, nor morals, nor manners. We may have judged too severely of this man—but our judgment is founded upon what we have seen and have heard.
We have seen a ridiculous jumble of doggerel nonsense, from the pen of Anthony Pasquin, under the title of "The Children of Thebes." This was written in the full orb of splendor of his literary fame, and to this we refer our readers for a specimen of his poetical genius. We have seen too, in the Thebian Magazine, a correspondence between this same Anthony Pasquin, and a certain capt. Wachen, who was for some time the Manager of a private Theatre in England. From this we could only learn, that the redoubtable Anthony Pasquin, after having been guilty of a most outrageous and unpardonable insult, received from the hands and feet of capt. Wachen, the chastisement which was due to his insolence. It is so long since we have seen this correspondence, that we do not pretend to remember all the circumstances of the case. But we refer our readers to a volume of the Thebian Magazine, containing the Biography of Captain Wachen, for a specimen of Anthony Pasquin's talent, at prose composition, and for an unequivocal proof of his cowardice.
So much we have seen of the character of this adventurer. We have seen, too, an empty and ostentatious gasconade in the first number of his "Democrat" which he pompously entitles, a "Declaration to the Good People inhabiting the Eastern States." As a specimen of his nauseous and insufferable impudence, we cannot forbear to present to our Democratic Brethren, the following extract. After Remarking upon the Alien and Sedition Bills (which we are almost tempted to wish were still in force, that he might meet his merited punishment, or be driven with disgrace from the Country) he adds; "These severe proceedings were followed, by the establishment of a standing Army, the introduction of the elements of a sinking fund! and the pliable delivery of Jonathan Robbins to a British gibbet; but in this act of mean barbarity, the talisman of delusion was broken; the nerve of horror vibrated from Maine to Georgia, and John Adams felt that he had signed the death warrant of his own dignity, when it was too late to recede from the malefaction."
"He is now 'shorn of his beams,' in meditation and in trouble, and should be permitted to descend to oblivion in peace; while he sheds floods of tears over pages of Davilla: pages more minous to the fashion than the Sybils leaves. Let Goody Pickering gather up the flood as Lachr me Johann, to be deposited by Pitt and Cobbett in the British Museum: and while he is sneezed in his final bed, by an enraged and convulsive aristocracy, may hope whisper comfort to his wounded spirit, as repentance is covering him with sackcloth and ashes!"
And has it then come to this—that every strolling adventurer, who in the elegant language of Pasquin, has "scudded from a royal tyrant," is to gain credit and currency among us by arraigning without discrimination, the moment he has put his foot upon our shores, the motives and conduct of those whom we have once been accustomed to respect?
We have already enough, in all conscience, of these imported patriots among us. We want no more Pasquins or Pasquinades to cherish the flame of discord, or to keep alive the spirit of resentment. This man, it is said, attempted some years since, to enlist himself under the banners of Federalism, and to become a drill serjeant for Peter Porcupine. But he has now made himself a republican, on the spur of the occasion, and flattered himself with the hope, that he shall move in the front ranks of the party. We have a confidence that the good sense of the "good people inhabiting the eastern states," will at once detect the motives and object of his conversion. We know they will be disgusted with his vulgarity, his insolence and his egotism.
We believe he will soon be overtaken by that contempt, which has hitherto pursued him in every other country, and in every other part of the union. Whether this does or does not provoke a reply from Anthony Pasquin, Anthony Pasquin may be assured it is the only notice we shall ever bestow upon him or his paper.
One of our London papers by the Packet announces that a negotiation between Russia, Denmark, and Sweden, for a defensive alliance, was on foot; and that Russia would be invited to accede to it. The cabinet of Russia is represented as being disposed towards France, and inclining to England. The Chancellor, Count Woronzow, is said to be the friend of England, and that he predominates over the French party at St. Petersburg.
The towns of Hamburg and Altona were in a deplorable situation from the blockade of the Elbe, so that many articles of the first necessity were advanced in price to an almost incredible degree. One hundred workmen were about to emigrate to the United States of America in consequence.
At Paris, about the middle of October, a political fanatic named, Bouquet deposited in one of the public offices two bags containing each two thousand francs in gold, to be given to the two Frenchmen who at the invasion of England obtain the first military badge of distinction.
The neutrality of Spain with respect to England it was supposed, would be terminated by the circumstance of the court of Madrid having consented to comply in every point with the Ultimatum of the F. Government. The Prince of Peace had given in his resignation, and the father-in-law of general Duroc, had been appointed his successor.
N. Y. Pap.
To Cure Hams.
For twenty four hams, take six pound of fine salt, three pounds of coarse brown sugar, or two pints of molasses, and one pound of salt petre, pounded fine; mix all these together, and rub every ham with this mixture and pack them down in your cask; let them remain five or six days, then unpack them and those which were on top, put at the bottom of the cask, and sprinkle a little salt over them; so let them remain five or six days, and then make a pickle that will bear an egg and pour over till it covers them; so let the whole remain one month and they will be fit to smoke.
N. B. Twelve hams, use half the above ingredients.
ANECDOTE.
Two men of the sword, one from Virginia, and the other from Kentucky, meeting at an Inn in Pennsylvania, over a bottle of wine; an altercation took place, which ended in a challenge from the Virginian and was accepted by the Kentuckian. The seconds were chosen and the preliminaries agreed on; which were, that they should stand back to back and march, and neither to fire till both had wheeled. They took their stand and both marched; the Virginian turned and saw his antagonist still marching forward cried out "where are you going!" to which the other answered, casting his eye over his right shoulder, "I am going to Kentucky, Sir."

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 necessarily 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.
The Executors Of Mr. William Triplet, deceased, have an anxious wish to settle the estate accounts with the Court as soon as possible, they hereby give notice to the legatees, and others having unliquidated accounts, that they bring them forward for settlement, on or before the 15th instant. The legatees are requested particularly to attend to this notice, as the executors cannot proceed to make the dividend of such part or parts of the estate, as have come to their hands, until such accounts are given in, adjusted and settled.

This land lies about two miles from Colchester, one and an half from the Occoquan Mills, where there are high prices given for every kind of country produce. The terms of sale for the land will be the same as heretofore made known on the sale of the other tracts. On the same day, and at the same place,

For Sale, by ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT JAUNDICE BITTERS,
A MEDICINE extremely useful in Jaundice and Bilious Complaints are prevalent among the citizens of America and the West Indies. They are a useful and efficacious Medicine for curing Jaundice and Bilious disorders, and removing that linking, faint, distended feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, want of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the lower part of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundice and bilious people.
Also removing constipation of the bowels, obstructions of urine, cholicky complaints, puking and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c. (which arise from a collection of sour, bilious matter in the stomach) are at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor. They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes. The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine, (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
Wheaton's Patent Ich Ointment. The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in any thing either dangerous or disagreeable; it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother after the use of it than before. Any. 2aw6m
