Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, February 4.
Mr. D. R. Williams presented a resolution which was agreed to; that the speaker address a letter to the governor of S. Carolina, informing him of the death of gen. Casey.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill for the relief of Seth Harding; Mr. Varian in the chair. After about an hour's debate the committee rose and reported the bill, which was immediately read in the house a third time and passed.
The house took up the report of the committee on fortifications and gun boats. It was moved after filling the blank with two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for gun boats, to add, "and other armed vessels."
Mr. Mosely spoke in favor of the motion. He hoped gentlemen were willing to give the president a discretionary power, and let the money be expended on other than gun-boats should it be thought proper.
Mr. D. R. Williams opposed it.
Mr. Elliot in the course of his remarks spoke of the system advanced some days since by Mr. Nelson, that of leaving the cities it attacked, as worse than that of Hudibras.
He that fights and runs away, May live to fight another day.
But here we are to run-away without fighting, that we may live to run away another day.
Mr. Lloyd thought it indecorous to comment on the remarks of a gentleman not present (Mr. Nelson has leave of absence) who could not reply. He thought also that his colleague's sentiments were mistaken: he believed, he said, that rather than be at the enormous expense of fortifying the whole coast, it would be better to retire from it.
Mr. Lloyd said he would vote against any appropriation for gun boats; he considered the system of gun boats as a matter of experiment, and he doubted their utility.
Mr. L. spoke highly of the character of his colleague, and moved that the subject be postponed till Monday fortnight that he might be present.
Mr. Thomas objected to the postponement. It is a subject of great importance and ought not to be postponed merely because the chairman of the select committee, Mr. Nelson, is absent.
Mr. Gregg. There is no necessity for haste in this business. The gentleman from Vermont, Mr. Elliot, has expressed his apprehension of a war before the next session of congress. I have no fear of it; — I have no doubt of an accommodation with any nation between whom and ourselves any difficulties now exist, or have existed.
This resolution gives the president the power of arming the whole navy—I do not consider it necessary to give this power.
Mr. Lyon said he should give his vote for the postponement not on account of the new lessons of decorum he had this day heard. Although it is ten years since he first had the honor of a seat in this house this was the first time he had known a gentleman undergo a flagellation, because he had called up the report in the absence of its chairman. Although it has been considered the duty of the chairman of a committee to call up the report, it had always been considered that it was a right of any member to call up the report.
I have heard a member of this house tell a chairman of a committee that "if you don't call up your report I will," without any complaint of want of decorum. The decorous kind of doctrine advanced this day would go to leave the business of the nation however important in a very loose way indeed. A chairman of a committee goes home to attend his private business, and the defence of the nation is not to be spoken of in his absence. I thought it my duty from the course of the vote I intend to give, to explain myself lest it should be thought that I countenanced this new fashioned doctrine of decorum.
What influences my vote is, I really believe there is danger of war to be commended by the prudence and aggressions of the Spanish officers on our south western frontier. My belief is founded on the official information which is before this house. That information tells us that the Spanish troops withdrew until they received news from the negotiations on foot. I ask if any favorable news has arrived? Is there any like to arrive? I fear not. I think we must have a treaty or a war with Spain. The documents tell you so, and I believe the Spaniards are preparing for it, while we are folding our hands and saying all is peace, peace. I shall vote to postpone the question, in hopes that the existing danger will be more apparent to gentlemen of this house than it is at present.
Mr. Smilie. If the gentleman from Kentucky expects a war in the westward, of what advantage will be the fortifications of our ports to prevent it? I know not on what ground the gentleman from Vermont builds his fears that the navy will be needed during the coming recess—It is not probable, I cannot stretch my credulity so far as to believe there is any danger of a war with either England or Spain. Whatever difficulties we have had with England, or whatever we may have received, I trust they will be adjusted. They are not such as to justify our going to war with them—It is not their interest, nor ours, to go to war.
Mr. S. moved a postponement till Monday week.
Mr. Lloyd withdrew his motion, agreeing to that of Mr. Smilie.
Mr. Mumford eulogised the character of Mr. Nelson—he bears honorable proofs of his bravery—Hence the wonder that such a character should advocate a retreat in case of attack.
Mr. Mumford read extracts from the proceedings of the U. States' military philosophical society in 1805, to prove the practicability of fortifying New York.
Mr. M. calculated that New York could be fully defended for about 300,000 dollars in the manner which the extracts he had read would suggest. He would not fold his arms and cry peace, peace, when its continuance is so uncertain—a preparation for war is the best security for peace—20,000 dollars are appropriated to build a custom house at New York, and 20,000 are to be appropriated to defend a sea of 1500 miles; what will be the sound of this in the old world. Mr. Mumford said 100,000 dollars, at least, would be appropriated.
Mr. Elliot said he had been misunderstood. He did not say he expected war would take place during the recess, but that the moment of danger would be then. He believed war could not be avoided without great national disgrace. It cannot be, and gentlemen all know it—yet he expected war would be avoided, whatever might become of national honor; we are about reversing the old rule of "miles for defence and not a cent for tribute;" it will become millions for tribute and not a cent—yes, 20 thousand dollars for defence.
Mr. Fisk saw no prospect and entertained no fears of a war. He considered fortifications as useless or worse. What are the experiments shown in history, where fortifications have been so prevalent? What but wars and bloodshed almost constant?
Are we now in more danger than in 1798? We did not feel then, though at war, the apprehensions some gentlemen seem now to feel. There is no danger of a war with England; and against them only need we defend on the ocean.
If in actual danger, he would go as far as any gentleman in making appropriations for defence.
Mr. Thomas opposed the postponement. He believed the motion to postpone was intended to defeat the resolutions. If the gentleman (Mr. Lloyd) would withdraw his motion, he should be obliged to call for the yeas and nays.
Mr. Lloyd said he did not make motions for the pleasure of it; he had given his reasons for his motion.
If the country be in real danger, and that danger was apparent, he would go as far as any man to defend; but 'tis impossible to defend the coast by fortifications; and why expend a vast sum to no purpose, or to fortify a single port.
Mr. Lyon said it was a very good rule of the house, to allow its members the same liberty as is allowed to the people of the country where he originated, that is to speak twice. He here explained when he thought he had been misunderstood.
Mr. Masters. We have never conceded for a partial defence, for New York only. The most vulnerable and important cities ought, however, to be first defended. Shall we fly, like the Arabs, to the mountains? Seventy thousand people flying to the hills for safety from one city, and twenty thousand from another. What a picture! Shall we longer be the scorn & the ridicule of the enemies of a republican government? Shall we continue defenceless and suffer insults and injuries? Twenty thousand dollars! This sum is recommended by the secretary at war—if this be his system, I would be glad if the good old patriot would retire from office—I do not like such a system.
Mr. Ransalaer spoke against the postponement. The people of New York wished to know their fate—if a complete battery cannot be erected that will keep off a fleet, let us at least be able to resist a single 50 gun ship. Except Norfolk, there is no part so exposed. Who have petitioned you? All characters of the city—no party affair. Do their repeated petitions deserve no notice?
Mr. Ransalaer here gave a statement of the situation of Fort Jay. The harbor can be fully fortified; but this we do not now ask. We ask 2 or 300,000 dollars, to erect two batteries, to be able to withstand a single ship at least. And we to wait till a ship is laid by the side of the city, and we are put under contribution, before gentlemen will think of granting us protection? One gentleman would call it a lavish of treasure; but whence does your treasure come? How much of it from New York? I would rather grant nothing than so small a sum.
The ayes and noes were

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, February 6.
Curraoa Taken!
Captain M'Cullen who arrived last night in 23 days from the city of St. Domingo informs, that the pilot boat schooner Fair Play, formerly of New York, had a few days previous to his departure sailed for Curraoa, but returned in 3 days, with information that that place was actually in possession of the British.
The news of the unsettled state of affairs among the blacks in the late Haytian empire, had reached the city of St. Domingo; and it was believed there, that gen. Ferrand would soon try his strength with Christophe or Petion, or both. Sanguine hopes were entertained of his succeeding.
Arrived brig Thetis, M'Cullen, 23 days from the city of St. Domingo. Brig Mars, Pemberton, sailed the day after for New York. The brig Harriet Gardiner, Morris, sailed the day before, and captain M'Cullen met her returning, after being out 3 days, having sprung a leak in the Mona passage, and was making 3 feet water an hour. Left at the city of St. Domingo ship Sawyer of Philadelphia, had been carried into Samana, cleared, and was going to Jamaica; schooner Fair Play, Grinnell, from Curraoa to Baltimore, sent in by a French privateer and cleared. Met ship Phoenix, Finker, from New York, within 20 leagues of St. Domingo.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.
On Friday last Mr. ALEXANDER was brought before judge Duckett, by the officer who had him in charge from general Wilkinson. The officer produced a letter from the secretary of war, addressed to him, directing him to take Mr. Alexander before one of the judges of the circuit court. Judge Duckett certified on the back of the letter, that the direction of the secretary had been complied with, and that no evidence had been adduced that seemed to require any proceeding on his part. This the officer considered as a discharge, and of course released Mr. Alexander.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10.
A letter from Baltimore communicated to the editor of the Philadelphia Register, dated the 4th inst. contains the following:
"General Smith has this day received positive information from Washington, that the treaty between this country and England has been signed. Mr. Munroe will be the bearer of the same, and may be very soon expected out."
"The India trade is placed on the same footing as it was in Jay's treaty, and as to the west Indies, on that of the most favored nation. Importers of produce from the enemies' colonies will be allowed to export in another vessel, after the duties have been secured and the property stored for one month. What relates to the seamen, it seems is not included in the treaty, but agreed on in appendix; I am inclined to believe England will not resort to a general blockade of the ports on the continent, now that they have come to a proper understanding with this country—at least I should suppose that our negotiators would not have conceded what they have done, if they had not been pretty certain that our trade to Europe would be left unmolested."
From the Halifax Royal Gazette of January 13.
The brig Adventure captain Hills, has arrived from Nevis, after a passage of thirty days. Captain H. brought no papers, but confirms the news of the arrival of fifteen thousand troops at Barbadoes and the arrival of a packet from England, with the intelligence of the defeat of the French army by the Prussians and Russians. Captain H. further states that about one hundred sail of vessels of war and transports with troops on board had assembled at Dominica and were hourly expected to go against Martinique. Phil. pap.
More News.—The influence of France has already begun to operate strongly on the affairs of Denmark. The ship Asia, arrived at Providence, from Amsterdam, left the Texel on the 28th of November. The captain says a report came to the
Texel, two days before he sailed of Denmark being at war with England; and that in consequence, two or three Danish ships, that were lying at the Texel, ready for sea, went back to Nieu Dieppe. Ibid.
After announcing the receipt of London papers to the 5th ult. by the brig Joseph, captain Southworth, from Liverpool, the editor of the Boston Palladium says—
"The series of French Bulletins, however, have been completed to the 31st, with the exception of the 30th. The French have met with no reverse in their military successes, and are masters of the southern coast of the Baltic, nearly as far as Dantzic, having hitherto, however, spared the dominions of Denmark. In Poland, the French accounts say, they were received with rapture. The people acting in their behalf against the Prussians. If the Russians have advanced into Poland, as is reported, the disposition of the people, if correctly stated, increases the probability of their being defeated; and renders very unlikely the rumor that they had gained a victory over the French—With respect to Austria we have only reports. She is stated to have offended the French emperor by recent military preparations. But it is hardly possible that she can perceive any path to her former power and independence, which her present means and situation would enable her to explore. As to Russia we have no information on which we can rely—of the measures she has determined on since the overthrow of the Prussian power, we are totally uninformed. We hear of no attempt to negotiate. And the language of the emperor and king with regard to her, is extremely hostile and contemptuous. There is reason to presume the first battle in which the Russians will be engaged this season will be on the frontiers of their own country, if the French follow them thither. Sweden continues a party at war, although she has afforded no aid to Prussia. Pomerania has been entered by the French, and probably conquered in a short time. Some few places may have stood a siege; but the panic which seems to prevail permits no expectation that any place will long hold out. Sweden proper, cannot be come at by the French without their crossing the Baltic."
Denmark is accessible to the soldiers of Bonaparte, as well as places dependent on her. Her territories had not been invaded, but they had been threatened. She will soon be called upon to discontinue her commerce with Great Britain, and to exclude British vessels from the Baltic. If she complies, and no suspicion arises that she connives at a secret trade, perhaps she may be permitted to remain otherwise undisturbed; or be admitted among the confederated satellites that are allowed to revolve round the French orb. Notwithstanding the treaties said to have been concluded between Saxony and Prussia and France, some pretext has been found for sending garrison troops into Dresden and Cassel. Naples is yet agitated by insurrections; but no effective opposition can be made to the establishment of Joseph there, while Napoleon retains his present power in the North. In France the funds had risen considerably. In England the funds had fallen. The people sympathised with those on the continent who had been compelled to submit to their enemies, but seemed to have no apprehensions for their own safety. A new election has taken place of members of parliament, in which the Foxites, like all other ives who have been in the ministry, exerted themselves to have their friends preferred. The Foxites appear to have lost their popularity, in some degree, with the lower classes of the British people.
Spanish Consul General's Office.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3, 1807. HIS Catholic majesty's consul general, near the U. States, communicated to the merchants and traders thereof, under the 8th of August, 1805, the following decree of the intendant of Havana.
"HAVANNA, July 3, 1805. "Signior Don Raphael Roubaud, intendant-general of this island, has determined, in a decree of the 28th of June last, that the regulations pointed out in the manifest or ordinance, of the 4th of Feb. anterior, for the general administration of the revenues of the marine, for the commerce of neutrals, receive the following addition."
The consuls or vice-consuls of the neutral ports from whence expeditions are made, (and in the case of there being no consuls resident therein, the persons authorised by the minister plenipotentiary of his majesty) shall certify to the accounts or invoices, with the expression of the particular port of the island to which they are directed; with an individual relation of the number, weight, measure, qua-
lity and value of the kinds and effects comprehended in the cargo; under the intelligence or knowledge that whatsoever shall be discovered that was not included in the invoice, will be confiscated without any indulgence."
A duplicate of the invoice and manifest will be required, in order to remain in the consular office.
They are likewise required to take notice of the publications which appeared, of the 21st May last, which says: Dry goods, liquors and provisions, will be admitted in neutral vessels, under similar restrictions as those imposed on the commerce of Spain: Observing, as an indispensable circumstance, in order to be admitted to an entry that such vessels must have clearances direct for said port.
He has now to inform, that he has just received from said officer, instructions for the repudiation of the same, in order to do away every pretext and leave no room for supposing a relaxation therein, because a want of a strict compliance therewith, has in some measure been tolerated: and also, that the said regulations should not be considered either as arbitrary or novel, but as an essential and positive determination of government.
"That the consuls or vice-consuls of the neutral ports, from whence expeditions are made, [and in case of there being no consuls resident there, the persons authorised by the minister plenipotentiary of his majesty] shall certify to the accounts or invoices, with the expression of the particular port of the island to which they are bound, with an individual relation of the number, weight, measure, quality and value of the kinds and effects comprehended in the cargo; with this circumstance, that whatever shall be discovered that was not included in the invoice, will be confiscated without any indulgence."
"Declaring, and it is hereby declared, that that from and after the first day of March next, such cargo or cargoes arriving here without the aforesaid attestation shall be forfeited: observing, that as the original invoices shall be presented and deposited at the respective custom-houses, the concerned will forward a duplicate thereof, to their correspondents for such use and purposes as they may think proper, and as a voucher with regard to their mercantile operations."
V. FORONDA,
Spanish Consul General.
N. B. In the ports where there is no person authorised by his majesty's minister plenipotentiary, to grant the necessary certificates, in that case they must apply to the consul nearest at hand.
FROM THE LONDON COURIER.
THE ORPHANS.
MY chaise the village Inn did gain, Just as the setting sun's last ray Tip't with refulgent gold the vane Of the old church across the way.
Across the way I silent sped The time till supper to beguile In moralizing o'er the dead That moulder'd round the ancient pile.
There many a humble green grave shew'd Where want and pain and toil did rest: And many a flatt'ring stone I view'd, O'er those who once had wealth possess'd.
A faded beach its shadow brown Threw o'er a grave where sorrow slept: On which two' scarce with grass o'er-grown, Two ragged children sat and wept.
A piece of bread between them lay, Which neither seem'd inclin'd to take; And yet they look'd so much a prey To want, it made my heart to ache.
My little children let me know Why you in such distress appear? And why you wasteful from you throw That bread which many a heart-wou'd cheer.
The little boy in accents sweet, Replied, whilst tears each other chas'd— "Lady, we've not enough to eat, "And if we had we would not waste."
"But sister Mary's naughty grown, "And will not eat what'e'er I say, "Though sure I am the bread's her own, "And she has tasted none to-day."
"Indeed (the wan starv'd Mary said) "Till Henry eats I'll eat no more; "For yesterday I got some bread; "He's had none since the day before."
My heart did swell, my bosom heave; I felt as tho' depriv'd of speech: I silent sat upon the grave, And press'd a clay-cold hand of each.
With looks that told a tale of woe, With looks that spoke a grateful heart, The shiv'ring boy did nearer draw, And thus their tale of woe impart.
"Before my father went away, "Entic'd by bad men o'er the sea, "Sister and I did nought but play— "We liv'd beside yon great ash tree."
"And then poor mother die'd the city; "And look'd so pensive I cannot tell; "She told us that she soon should die, "And bade us love each other well."
"She said that when the war is o'er, "Perhaps we might our father see: "But if we never saw him more, "That God our father then would be."
"She kiss'd us both, and then she died, "And we no more a mother have— "Here many a day we sat and cried "Together on poor mother's grave."
"But when our father came not here, "I thought if we could find the sea, "We should be sure to meet him there, "And once again should happy be."
"We hand in hand went many a mile, "And ask'd our way of all we met, "And some did shy, and some did smile, "And we of some did victuals get."
"But when we reach'd the sea, and found, "Twas one great water round us spread, "We not that father sure was crown'd, "And cried and wish'd us both were dead."
"So we return'd to mother's grave, "And only long with her to be! "For Goody, when the bread she gave, "Said father died beyond the sea."
"Then since no parents have we here, "We'll go and seek for God around— "Lady, pray can you tell us where "That God, our father, may be found?"
"He lives in Heav'n, mother said, "And Goody says that mother's there; "So if he thinks we want his aid "I think, perhaps, she'll send him here."
I clasp'd the pretty ones to my breast, And cried, come both and live with me— I'll clothe ye, feed ye, give ye rest, And will a second mother be.

THE subscriber would lease or rent, that valuable property, called "HUNTER'S WORKS," consisting of a Manufacturing Mill, (late in the occupancy of Messrs. Cooch and Hollingsworths) having two water wheels, with pair burr stones, and all necessary machinery—a good Grist Mill, Saw Mill, and houses suitable for millers, coopers, & blacksmith's. At this place are the walls and remains of a forge and sitting mill, formerly carried on, the sites of which, and others in the same canal, are excellent for water works of various kinds. This property is on the north edge of the Rappahannock, within two miles of Fredericksburg and one of Falmouth, has peculiar advantages of water, and is well situated for the purchase of wheat, now the staple of the country, and of the last crop a large proportion yet to come to market.
Also, a valuable MANUFACTURING MILL, with two water wheels, two pair of stones, and the usual machinery, situated on the same edge of the river, within half a mile of Falmouth, having a convenient and comfortable miller's house attached to it, and a canal which now affords water communication from Falmouth to the mill door, and at the expense of only three or four hundred dollars may be extended to the doors of the forge mills—Or, I will sell the whole of the above Property, under stipulations, for the benefit of contiguous property, but no way injurious to this, and give credit seven years if necessary, for three fourths of the amount, and accommodating time for the other fourth.

Richard Lee & Son,
SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community be permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same.
As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vapid Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording; and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine.
THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rickett's and Newton's.
Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
Richard Lee and Son,
Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days.
JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-ache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after.
JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street.
Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious & Malignant Fevers, is recommended
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following:
For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies.

VALUABLE LANDS,
To be Sold very Cheap.
I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian-Run, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, in which are one pair of burr, and one pair of culen stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling-house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it to accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2500 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 300 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 300 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs.
ALSO,
One other tract of one hundred acres, about two miles from Alexandria, part of the Cliesh Tract, and adjoining the lands of Messrs. John C. Herbert, Robert Patton, and John Richter, the Mount-Vernon road running through it. This tract is mostly in wood, and conveniently situated for country sale. If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchaser, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock of the United States.
If they are not sold before Friday the first day of May next, the Mill Tract will, on that day, be sold at public auction, to the highest bidder—and on the following day the Cliesh Lands will be sold in like manner. The Mill Tract will be divided into three or four farms and sold subject to a lease of four and an half years from the first day of July last. The Cliesh Tract will be divided into lots of 10 or 20 acres each. If sold at public auction the terms will be made known on the days of sale.
