Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, Feb. 4.

On motion of Mr. J. Randolph the petition of John Potter, and other persons, presented the last session, was referred to the committee of the whole on a report of the committee of public lands on similar claims.

Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.

Mr. Early from the same committee, made a report on the petition of sundry inhabitants and merchants of Stonington in Connecticut, and Pawtucket in Rhode Island, unfavorable to the prayer of the petitioners.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill from the senate for the relief of Seth Harding.
Messrs. Van Cortlandt, Mumford, Elmer, Smilie, Conrad and Jackson supported the bill, Mr. Quincy suggested some difficulty with regard to the fund from which it was proposed to derive relief.
The committee then rose and reported the bill, which was read a third time and passed, without a division.
A message was received from the senate stating that they had passed a bill respecting the administration of justice in the district of Columbia, and a bill for the relief of the sufferers by fire in the town of Portsmouth.
The house took into consideration the report of the committee of the whole on the report of a select committee, on the subject of fortifying our ports and harbors.
When the subject was previously before the house, a motion of general Van Cortlandt was depending to authorise the president to man and equip such gun-boats and other armed vessels of the U. S. as he may deem expedient.
On this amendment a long debate ensued involving the discussion of the policy of protecting our ports and harbors.
Mr. Sturges advocated the amendment.
Mr. D. R. Williams opposed it.
Mr. Elliot spoke in favor of strong measures of defence.
Mr. Lloyd declared himself against both the resolutions, and moved to postpone the further consideration of the report till Monday week.
This motion was advocated by Messrs. Lloyd, Gregg, Smilie and Fisk—and opposed by Messrs. Thomas, Lyon, Mumford, Elliot, Van Cortlandt, Masters and Van Rensselaer—when the question was taken by yeas and nays on the postponement.
Yeas 40—Nays 76.
The house then adjourned.
Thursday, February 5.
Mr. Lewis, from the committee to whom was referred the message of the president relative to the public buildings in the city of Washington, presented a bill making appropriations for finishing the south wing of the capital, and for other purposes; which was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Early, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, to whom was referred the amendments of the senate to the bill for surveying the coast of the U. S. reported their agreement to the same, in which the house concurred—ayes 58.
The amendments extend the survey to the Gulf of Mexico, and appropriate 50,000 dollars for the same.
The house resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday, being the
report of a committee on fortifying ports and harbors.
The question was taken on the amendment offered by Mr. Van-Cortlandt, which was agreed to—Ayes 51—Nays 54.
The question then recurred on filling the blank in the second resolution with 250,000 dollars for building 50 gun-boats.
Mr. Mumford spoke against agreeing to this amendment, and expressed a hope, that part of the sum would be applied to fortifications.
Mr. Smilie coincided in opinion with Mr. Mumford, and said if the amendment were not agreed to, he would then move to fill the blank with 150,000 dollars, and be in favor of applying the remaining 100,000 dollars to the protection of New York.
Messrs. Thomas & Cook spoke to the same effect, when the amendment was disagreed to—Ayes 4.
The amendment, authorising the president to arm and equip as many of the gun-boats as in his opinion the public service may require, was likewise disagreed to—Ayes 34.
Mr. Thomas then moved to fill the blank with 150,000.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Stanton, Thomas, Smilie and Fisk; and opposed by Messrs. J. Randolph, Elmer and Holland.
Mr. Gregg suggested the propriety of postponing the further consideration of the subject to gain information.
With this view Mr. Early moved a postponement to Monday week. This motion was negatived—Ayes 49—Nays 58.
Messrs. G. W. Campbell, Alston and Smilie spoke in favor of appropriating 150,000 dollars for the building of gun-boats; and Mr. Elliot against it.
Mr. Early moved a postponement to this day week.

This motion was likewise disagreed to—Ayes 49—Nays 58.
Mr. Epps then moved a postponement to Monday next.
This motion was generally acquiesced in, and carried—Ayes 69—after a continuation of the debate on the main subject, in which messrs. Epps, Cook, Thomas, Mumford, Varnum and Smilie took part.
A committee was appointed to bring in a bill to carry into effect the objects of the first resolution.
On motion of Mr. Early the house adopted the following resolution:
Resolved , That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before this house such information as may be in the possession of the executive department tending to shew the efficacy of gun-boats in the protection and defence of ports and harbors, and particularly a list of such of the principal ports and harbors as may be defended or essentially assisted in being defended by gun-boats, together with the number necessary for each.
NEW YORK, January 31.
An express arrived last evening from Albany, brings intelligence that the house of assembly, met on Tuesday, and proceeded immediately to organize themselves; and that Andrew McCord, esq. was chosen speaker by a majority of 11—Mr. McCord is what is usually denominated a Lewisite. We may therefore from this circumstance form a pretty accurate calculation of the political complexion of the legislature.
We further learn that the clerk of the house who is also a Lewisite, had a majority of 7.
It would appear by the French having arrested the four great British capitalists in Hamburg, Messrs. Thornton, Parish, Burrows and George Smith, that their object must be to intimidate the senate or government of that city in order to extort a large contribution; as the property of these houses together cannot be less than ten millions of dollars, and should it be confiscated, England would undoubtedly make reprisals on Hamburg property within her power; otherwise we cannot account for their not having arrested the other British residents in Hamburg.
It is a fortunate circumstance however, that the gentlemen in custody of Bonaparte's myrmidons had time to secure the greatest part of their moveable property prior to their arrestation, which must abate the demands of the arch plunderer, and procure better terms for that city.
BALTIMORE, February 6.
Yesterday arrived schooner Sukey, capt. Blake, 18 days from Kingston (Jam. The schooner Jefferson, Goff, of this port, sailed 5 days before for Havana. In lat. 34 10, long 75, spoke the brig Aurora, from New York, blowing fresh, could not learn where bound. The Sukey was boarded by the ship Leopard, 60 miles S.E. by S. of Delaware capes, on Friday last, and strictly
examined. Captain B. has performed his voyage hence to Kingston and back in 43 days.

NORFOLK, Feb. 2.
ARRIVED,
Schooner Catharine Shepherd, Webb, 15 days from Antigua. Left there Jan. 15, brigs Washington, Mather, and Venus, Sheffield, both from New London; Columbia, Levering, of and for Alexandria in six days; Franklin, of and for Norfolk in 14 days; ship Betsey, of New York in distress, bound to France, cargo much damaged; schooner Felicity, Folke, of Tappahannock, bound to Charleston, blown off the coast.
Captain Webb, of the schooner Catharine Shepherd, in 15 days from Antigua informs, that a vessel had arrived at that island from Barbadoes, bringing intelligence that by an arrival at the latter island from England, it was stated that the Prussians and Russians had formed a junction in great force, and that after a most bloody battle which had lasted for three successive days, the French were entirely defeated and surrounded with Bonaparte in B-lio. In giving this intelligence the only part that we would vouch for is the correctness of the report, as to captain Webb; but we cannot without other data, as to time and place give full credit to this information, although intelligence might have been received at Barbadoes as late as the 1st of December, or even later.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Catharine Shepherd, says that the above account reached Antigua from St. Croix, and that he thinks the date of the European accounts were to the tenth of December.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9.
We learn from Spain that great armaments were making in that kingdom; and that 150 thousand men were to be raised. This is doubtless one of the ramifications of Bonaparte's immense plans.
New York pap.
By captain Harris from Port de Pais, we learn that a bloody battle took place about the first of January near Port-au-Prince, between general Christophe and general Pétion, in which the former was victorious. General Pétion had armed several vessels, and had stored a little place between Gonaiwes and Port de Pais, and was daily expected at the latter place.
Ibid.
Captain Main from Bourbon informs, that on the 11th November the British man of war Sceptre and frigate Cornwallis appeared off that place. The French frigate Semillante laying in the roads immediately gave orders to all the merchant ships to slip their cables and haul close to the beach, as the British ships commenced a heavy fire upon the frigate and town, which lasted for about 20 minutes, and then stood off—the same night the Arcturus was taken possession of by the French, and no person left on board but Lascars, but was given up the next day. Another attack from the British ships was hourly expected.
[Ibid]
A London paper of the 5th Dec. says:— "The loan for the next year will be for only twelve millions." [100,000,000 dollars!]

Extract of a letter from Trinidad, dated December 30, received by a mercantile house in New York. Bonaparte had overrun nearly the whole continent, but his late defeats by the combined armies of Russia and Prussia, will, I trust, give such a turn to his affairs as may procure to him a passage to Siberia. He is said to have lost in the three battles three days successively 60,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners. In short he was completely routed. Orders have been issued for marching the conscripts from every part of France. Great commotions, it is said, prevail at Paris—this we have from Martinique, where the news had also arrived by express!!! This will change the face of all Europe."
By the vessel from New Orleans we received the Louisiana Gazette of the 24th of December, which contains a very lengthy address to the public, by Edward Livingston, esq. late mayor of this city. This address, which is warmly and elegantly expressed, does away the suspicions, and denies the charges of Gen. Wilkinson, of Mr. L's. having any concern in, or knowledge of, Burr's conspiracy. Mr. Livingston boldly vindicates the authority of the laws, and lashes Wilkinson for his wild and illegal conduct relative to Bollman, Swartwout and others. Mr. L. concludes his address in these words:
"I know not what effect this publication will have—it may justify me to my country, which is the first wish of my heart; it may be the means of producing a strict scrutiny into my conduct, which I invite; it may draw down the further vengeance of my accuser, which I never will deprecate—but, whatever may be the event, nothing can destroy the consciousness I enjoy of my own rectitude on this occasion; nor the determination in my humble sphere to resist oppression, and assert the empire of the laws."
[N. York pap.]
Extract of a letter received by the editor of the Baltimore Telegraph, dated
"NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 30, 1806. "Dear Sir, "New Orleans now is a theatre of oppression and tyranny—Wilkinson has had a number of persons arrested on suspicion of being guilty of misprision of treason against the U. States—and has, as he says, adopted measures for having them safely conveyed to the president of the U. S. Whether they will be intercepted by a Spanish force and sent to the mines, or hang, or arrive safe at Washington, time will determine. To-day an officer (lieutenant) in the army was arrested on the same charge, and it is said the general intends having 8 or 10 more arrested as being concerned in the plot.—God only knows the issue of the general's measures; but I assure you they have given rise to the most serious alarms—never perhaps were such acts of tyranny exercised, except in ill-fated Ireland—There are a thousand conjectures afloat: all is wrapped in mystery; and it is the opinion of many, very many, that the general has committed himself, and knows that nothing but a desperate effort can save him from the inevitable disgrace and punishment which awaits the violators of the laws. You could hardly imagine that Aaron Burr, a man of the first talents and information in our country, would communicate his intentions to the commander of the American army, unless he was assured of his co-operation; and, unless some designs inimical to the interest and welfare of our government were meditated where was the necessity for a CYPHER between them? You have herewith a publication of Edward Livingston's, which, as it regards the general's conduct and observations in court is substantially correct, and I flatter myself the other statements will not be found to deviate from truth. He paints the general's conduct in glowing colors; but not more so than it deserves; Livingston's publication has just been printed this evening, and God knows the effect it may have. The writer's reward may be a dungeon, and the printer's a trouncing; such is the awful crisis at which we have arrived. No name is put to this for obvious reasons. It may be intercepted. You will know who it comes from and I rely on your not letting it fall into the hands of the general's creatures. N. B. I would not wish to convey an idea by the preceding observations, that none of the persons are guilty of the charges—on the contrary it is believed that there are some of them who ought to receive the punishment due to so base a crime. But it is the usurpation of authority that excites alarm, and gives rise to fears in the breast of almost every inde-
pendent man, who will not crouch to the "powers that be." The general has men engaged in repairing the forts and breast-works; there are about five hundred effective soldiers in the garrison; and perhaps about one hundred and fifty volunteers; measures are also taken to have the militia ready in case of danger. But I believe Burr is defeated by the general's discovering the plot, and perhaps if he had never had an expectation that the army here would co-operate with him, he would never have made an effort to disturb the tranquility of the union.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house at Liverpool (England) dated
LIVERPOOL, 6th Dec. 1806. "The unfortunate progress of the campaign on the continent, occasions a considerable degree of gloom in this country. Markets, we particularly affected on the first disasters of the Prussians, but the seizure of Hamburg by the French, has produced an increased dullness, and apprehensions with respect to individual credit, which will probably continue to be felt in some degree, until our intercourse with the continent assumes an appearance of greater security. In articles not directly connected with the continental demand we look pretty co-fidently for more business doing after Christmas, when the caution of the moment will probably in part have subsided.
"The import of Ashes in November, was about 1400 barrels. The stock in the market remains somewhere we compute about 1500 barrels. The import of this year, now stands about 11800 bbls. & there being yet about 1200 bbls. expected this month, the total import seems likely to exceed last year's about one half. In this year of the supplies, there is less ground for confidence than was looked to some time back, but seeing that the market continues tolerably steady in the general depression, we do not look for any material variation at this time; the remainder of the supplies is likely to be in few hands, which will favor the article.
"Cottons are considerably affected by the political state of things. The sales in last month amount to about 7000 bags, whilst the import exceeds 18000 bags.—The reluctance of buyers at present to take any quantity of much consequence, occasions the stock to accumulate here; but it is well known that the stock is trifling in the hands of dealers and spinners. The stock is heavy of Demerara, Lisbon, & Sea Islands, & pretty ample in Uplands, with some New Orleans. The last week has been very dull, and prices have continued going rather lower, but it is not expected that there will be further material decline, and if this idea becomes established, buyers will probably come forward more freely. It seems as if the aggregate import of 1806 will prove somewhat short of last year.
"Our markets have been well supplied with country and Irish wheats, which in consequence are rather lower; but prime foreign wheat for mixing is scarce and wanted; fine American white wheat in good condition is worth 12s 12s 3d per 70lbs. and we quote generally 11s 9d a 12s for good American; a parcel lately arrived from New York was sold a few days since at the latter price. Superfine sweet flour, free from the garlic or oily flavor very generally found in cargoes from Virginia, is taken regularly at 48s 6d a 44s 6d per barrel. Exportation with respect to our grain market seems rather to lean to the idea of prices being full as high in March or April as at present, as the English new wheats were brought into consumption in quantity, early this season; but there is a peculiar uncertainty attending this subject.
"Quercitron bark continues dull.—The usual sorts of first quality may be quoted at 15s a 19s per cwt; but extra fine quality is worth 20s a 23s per cwt. and such being scarce would command a pretty ready sale.
"As usual at this season, there has been little inquiry for coffee of late, and any trifling speculative demand seems now altogether suspended, in consequence of the recent disastrous events that have taken place on the continent; the annexed quotations therefore may be considered merely as nominal, and only referring to the latest partial sales. In the present extraordinary state of affairs in Germany & other countries to which coffee is usually exported, it is difficult to say how the article may rule; but these are moderate war prices, and our stock being by no means heavy, we may expect some improvement in spring; unless indeed our intercourse with the continent should be more cir-
cumscribed than has been before experienced. "Our quotations for Havana sugars may be considered also as nearly nominal, the present export being so exceedingly limited, and indeed now likely to be altogether suspended during the winter months; we have only therefore to observe, that they are moderate, and as the quantity on hand is not large, such prices may reasonably be expected to be maintained. Hides are dull, and doubtful if these prices will be maintained. Spanish indigo continues to go off pretty freely at these prices; but it is said large supplies of East India may be expected next year, in which case this article may become precarious.
"We continue to receive considerable supplies of mahogany, and the demand being limited, the markets remain heavy. The general vent for dye woods remains dull, and the speculative demand that appeared for logwood (per British ship) for home use in October having subsided; that article has again declined. Jamaica and Cuba fustic (per British ship) for home use commands a more ready sale, but our stock of Porto Rico wood is ample, and there is no moving with that sort even at our reduced quotation. Large fresh solid Nicaragua wood is scarce and wanted, at 30/ a 40/ per ton, but the market is greatly overstocked with other sorts. Dye woods imported per American ship are not inquired for, being affected by the stagnation in export articles, owing to the state of the continent, and the season of the year.
"The successes of the French in Prussia have operated favorably on square timber, which has again rather improved. A cargo of pine obtained yesterday 2s 5d being 1d higher than a similar parcel was sold at ten days before. The stock of square timber here is very inconsiderable, and prices are likely to remain high, as also of lathwood. The market is still heavily stocked with European deals, but American plank is purchased more freely at this moment than of late. Good southern staves obtain a pretty ready sale, and red oak and ash go off at our quotations, at which we have sold within these few days.
"We have received near seven thousand barrels of Tar, in the last month, viz. five thousand from America, and two thousand from the continent of Europe—but the article is steady, and a parcel from New York obtained twenty one shillings two days ago. The import of Turpentine in the last month amounts to four thousand nine hundred and seventy seven barrels, and the article is exceedingly dull, an inferior parcel was sold the other day at ten shillings and a fair parcel at 11s. 6d per cwt.
"Good qualities of tobacco for our home manufacture go off but low, and middling description, of which the stock principally consists are dull."
Price of coffee, triage 60 to 70s; ordinary 92 to 120; middling 124 to 132; good 134 to 140; fine 142 to 146. Havana sugar, brown 32 to 38s; yellow 3 to 4s; white 50 to 64.

Stop Thief!
RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, on Sunday evening last, an apprentice boy, about 15 years of age, by the name of James West—has light curly hair, full cheeks, and his toe next to the smallest one on the right foot has been split with an axe, which causes it to stick up remarkably. Had on when he went away a blue roundabout Bath coating jacket with pearl buttons, a red cloth vest, black buckskin pantaloons, blue stockings and buckskin mockasins—he has stole several pair of buckskin gloves, Mockasins, and gallowse.
I will give Five Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail, and reasonable expenses if brought home. He is an apprentice to the glove and buckskin breeches making business. I forward all masters of vessels and others from harboring him, as I shall prosecute them as the law directs. It is supposed he has gone to Baltimore to take shipping, or with a waggen up the Leesburg road.
