Electricity. THE subscriber having for many years, and at a very considerable expense, practiced the science of Electricity, and during that period been successful in removing many complaints; he, in compliance with a very general and urgent request, now offers his humble services to the public. No pains or expense have been spared to render his Electrical Machine complete for Medical purposes, none other being contemplated at present. It is said, by all who have seen it, to exceed anything of the kind that ever came within their observation, for elegance, magnitude and effect.
To the gentlemen of the faculty he particularly addresses himself, assuring them that his utmost efforts shall be exerted to follow faithfully their advice, respecting any patient whom they may recommend to his attention; he having made such arrangements in his professional business, as will enable him to dedicate a greater portion of his time than formerly to the above pursuit. He hopes that his ability will merit their approbation, and that his charges will not be considered extravagant. He has provided a genteel apartment for the purpose.  Archibald Currie. Richmond, Dec. 15, 1800. N.B. Those who favor him with their attendance will please to provide a person to keep the machine in motion. The time of attendance will but seldom depend upon the state of the weather, as the apparatus will always be kept in the best order.  CASH GIVEN FOR Wheat & Tobacco, BY BARTLETT STILL.
National Magazine Published at the Seat of the National Government.  THE patrons of this work are respectfully informed, that it will, during the present session of Congress, (and longer, if the experiment succeeds, their approbation) be filled weekly, in 8 octavo, 16 pages, containing six sermons to compose a number of 96 pages.  The reasons of this innovation are numerous; amongst others, the difficulty of transmitting them to subscribers was exceedingly great; too many books for admission into the mail, they were necessarily committed to the precarious modes of waggon and water-conveyance; this has been a constant source of delay and loss to the author as well to those who have been in the habit of receiving them regularly from the mail, as the postage is not exceeded a dollar a year to the most distant subscriber. The anxiety which rests upon the mind of every politician, to be in correct & early details of the Proceedings of Congress, could not be gratified by a publication issued but twice in a quarter of a year; for their numerous loss, and any own interest, I have adopted the present plan, promising that its attendance will ensure the approbation of all the subscribers.  The subscribers are required to call at the Post-Office nearest to their respective places of residence, and receive the Magazine, as they will be addressed to them, regularly at least once a week.  THE CABINET, A

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, December 17.
Deviate on Mr. Varnum's motion for reducing the second regiment of Artillery and Engineers to three battalions.
(Concluded from our last.)
Mr. Sheppard said that a great expense had already been incurred in raising the artillery, which would be useless if they were now dismissed. He believed the artillery to be the most important part of our establishment. For this and other reasons, in the expression of which other members had participated, he was against the motion for the reduction.
Mr. S. Smith was perfectly agreed, on general principles, with the gentleman who had just sat down. A preference ought certainly to be given to that description of troops that required much previous instruction before they could be useful.
In 1794 he had heartily concurred in adopting measures calculated to call into existence gentlemen of capacity to be instructed in engineering.
An additional regiment had been urged at that time. It had been urged in 1796. A report was afterwards made of the number of men required. Upon that report the new regiment had been bottomed. It was then declared it would be no defence against an invading enemy; and it was replied that it was proposed to organize it for the particular purpose of defending our ports and harbours, and as a school of information.
At that time we had the prospect of a war before us. Still it was understood as a part of our permanent arrangement. If the establishment then formed was sufficient, why was it not now sufficient, when we have no new forts except those in the South Western Territory.
A proof of the uselessness of the additional battalion was derived from the conduct of the Executive. Neither the Secretary of War nor the President had called it into service.
The great object of the regular troops was to take care of the arms, forts, &c. and not to take care to defend them. That object could only be accomplished by the militia, on whom, in periods of danger, we must rely for our substantial defence; for no man can suppose 65 men equal to the defence of Fort Mifflin, if attacked by an invading enemy.
Mr. Smith said he thought the present number of artillery sufficient. Indeed one company might be spared from Fort Jay, and one from Newport. Fort Jay was in the vicinity of a populous city, from which any aid could be obtained. The harbour at Newport be considered of the utmost importance, as he thought in a time of war we much look to that port for the protection of our navy.
Mr. Smith was not an enemy to measures of defence. He had been among the foremost in proposing and supporting them. But he thought the grand defence of this country rested in the navy and militia. Let us then encourage and advance these. They will be our true friends in times of danger. Congress had applied a sum of money to be laid out in arms to be put into the hands of the militia. And yet not one load of arms had been given to that useful body. Why had this not been done? The want of money he presumed was the cause.
He was not among those who wished to complete the destruction of defensive measures. Nor was he for rushing into childish expense, barely to make a boast of our strength.
Mr. Smith affirmed that the fourth battalion had been raised in a haphazard way, and not in the fair regular manner that had been pretended. Without taking up the subject by itself, a bill had been passed in 1799, barely directing that a regiment should consist of four battalions; and to haphazard did the President deem it that he had never raised the additional battalion, nor considering it the wish of the house that it should be raised; and as to the Secretary at war, he had given it up last session for a military school.
A gentleman was greatly alarmed about nations not treating with us, as if our having one or two battalions of artillery would have any influence upon foreign nations.
No injury could be done to the country by the proposed reduction. It only affected the future establishment. It did not diminish in the least the existing force.
As to the measures of the new administration, no one can tell what they will be. He professed that they would be what they ought to be.
It appeared to Mr. Smith strange to urge the raising a new body of the military, while the old body remained incomplete. There were nominal corps in existence without a man. Why appoint officers for such corps? But if officers are wanted, there were one hundred and fifty vacancies in the old corps—fill them.
The gentleman from Massachusetts had shown that this corps was useless; he had shown that it had been authorized by the legislature without having been called into existence by the President when war threatened us, and now when gentlemen tell us they expect (and he believed they expected truly) peace with all the world, we are called upon to raise an inconsiderable force to organize this force.
The sum of 45,000 dollars to be saved
by the proposed retrenchment, had been called piffling. He was far from thinking 45,000 dollars a piffling sum.
Mr. S. Smith disclaimed harbouring the most distant idea of diminishing the present effective force of the United States, and more particularly that of the artillery. That at present in existence he thought useful and sufficient.
Mr. H. Lee thought a view could be taken of the subject before the house, that would demonstrate the inexpediency of adopting the resolution proposed by the gentleman from Massachusetts. Let a view be taken of our force, their distance from each other, the amount of our ordnance, and our infant navy, and the number of men required for all these objects; and he would ask the mover of the resolution whether he could persist in his purpose. A statement had been made of the number of our forts, and of the number of the men that garrisoned them. He would call upon gentlemen to say, whether the number of men was more than adequate to most ordinary objects that arose in a time of peace. This was not sufficient. We must contemplate our predicament in a state of war. The militia had been represented, in such a state of things, as our great defence. But it was a fact that before they could be operative a very inferior force might sweep out of our hands many of our most valuable forts.
The gentleman from Maryland had given it as his opinion, that the force stationed at Norfolk might be reduced. Mr. Lee held an opposite opinion. He knew Elizabeth river to be very important, and he also knew that it was badly protected. If, said Mr. Lee, you do not defend your forts well, you had much better not do it at all. Newport and New York were also very important stations. Hampton Roads commands your attention. How, under your present establishment, would you defend your navy riding in these roads? In case of a war with England, your little navy must fly to your shores for safety; and when there how are they to be protected?
This battalion not having been raised by the President has been tortured into an argument against the measure, under the belief that the President thought it useless. Mr. Lee said, he was disposed to pay the highest respect to the President of the United States, and he was happy to hear other gentlemen unreservedly express such respect, on this occasion, with him. But he was notwithstanding, not disposed to facilitate his own opinion, though he thought the conduct of the President had been otherwise satisfactorily explained by a gentleman who had gone before him in the debate.
Mr. Lee wished gentlemen to feel the full force of those remarks which had enforced the great weight of necessity in military operations. In the various campaigns conducted by the chief that was now no more we were without artillery, in consequence of which much American blood had been spilt. From the want of artillery we had lost NINETEEN. In the loss of that place a fatal blow had been inflicted upon our arms. One engineer of talents would have saved it.
He was not disposed, by adopting the motion, to cut up by the roots the only military school we have left. It was within our power, and it was undoubtedly our duty to retrench all useless expenditure of public money. But he held it to be a still higher duty not to hazard the welfare of the country. If you are determined to reduce the army, strike at the infantry and cavalry. The evil which you will then do may be soon repaired. A few weeks will make soldiers of this description. But if by a wanton blow, you destroy officers, study, and experience, you cannot soon repair the loss.
The Speaker said he rose to observe that it was not in order to make use of arguments derived from the execution of a law by the President, as no constitutional control could be exercised by this house.
Mr. Mason said that the true question was whether the house thought it necessary at this time to raise the additional battalion. Does such a state of things exist as requires its being raised? If it does not, it ought not to be raised, the nominal existence of the battalion on paper to the contrary notwithstanding. As it never yet in reality existed, and we had done very well without it, he saw no occasion why we should call it into being now. As to the alleged use of it in a future period, he thought the idea futile. For then twenty battalions, for aught we can say, may be thought necessary.
Gentlemen had said that the old argument of saving public money had been old. Mr. Mason said he thought the argument a very good one on all occasions. On all occasions where a good reason could be assigned for spending the public money, it ought not to be saved.
Suppose you raise the battalion. Experience will soon demonstrate its uselessness; and then you will discharge the men, and give them three months pay to go home with.
We have been told that in a certain event, not very improbable, the western posts will be struck at; and we shall be obliged to go to war. Mr. Mason hoped that the days of alarm were past, and the reign of terror over. From whom was this blow to come? He did not know any nation likely to strike at our posts. We had got, it was said, a treaty with France. If so, we had nothing to fear from that quarter.
If no greater sum than 45,000 dollars was saved by the proposed reduction, he should still be for it, as he thought the additional battalion altogether useless.
Mr. Kirtland made a few remarks, not heard, and concluded with moving the taking the year and a half, for which a sufficient number of members rose.
Mr. Champlin in the first part of his speech was not heard, owing to our exclusion from the bar.
When heard, he said, that he had been among those who thought the aggressions of France not only justified, but called for a declaration of war from us. He had been for taking the direct road. But as other gentlemen had differed from him in opinion, he had voted for the new regiment of artillery, as a measure calculated, in connection with other measures, to produce that, step by step, which he could not directly obtain. He had therefore voted for the additional regiment then as a temporary arrangement.
But though when first formed he voted for the regiment as a part of the system of defensive measures, he now thought it would be permanently useless.
In reply to the remarks of gentlemen, he could assure them that several officers had already been appointed.
When at the close of the last session Congress had
manifested a disposition to bury every military arrangement, they had, notwithstanding, been impressed with the expediency of maintaining the two regiments of artillery. Nothing had occurred to change his opinion.
Mr. Randolph said that all the attention he had bestowed on the subject convinced him of the fallacy of the ideas expressed by the gentleman from North Carolina. The true question had been misrepresented. That did not consist in estimating, abstractedly considered, in relation to a future period, the length or inconveniences attached to an increase in the establishment of artillery. The simple question was whether this additional body was necessary now. That it was not necessary he was fully convinced, as it had been dispensed with in periods of apprehension and danger. This conviction confirmed him in his adherence to those ideas which had been forcibly expressed by the member from North Carolina.
The house had been told by a gentleman from South Carolina that from tenderness to the militia he would dispense with their services. In my opinion, said Mr. Randolph, this is a milk-taken opinion. It was a kind of tenderness, that neither he wished to manifest nor did the militia themselves desire to receive. In a similar train of affected tenderness, a Roman Emperor had executed a Roman Senate from the exercise of their legislative duties, and had informed them that from a regard to their ease he would pass laws for them. And that Senate had already returned thanks to the Emperor for his kindness to them. He hoped that no similar proposition would be made to that house, or similar answer returned by them.
In his belief that this corps was unnecessary he was confirmed by the remarks that had fallen from the gentleman from Rhode Island. That gentleman had informed the house that the measure had received his approbation as tending to involve the country in war with France. And was the house at this day to be called upon to adopt piece meal these measures that had been framed for the production of this effect?
The gentleman from Massachusetts had founded the result of party, and had called upon a majority of that house to meet with arms, what he conceived an honorable political death. He had proclaimed his disposition to recede from distinguished measures that had hitherto been pursued. Mr. Randolph concurred in the integrity of the gentleman; and did not entertain a doubt of his receiving his most cheerful co-operation in that change of measures, which he had power even as impending over the house; and he was happy to say, that in such opposition were manifested by that gentleman, and by those who acted with him it would be met by correspondent sentiments of harmony on his side of the house.
The question was then taken by ayes and noes as follows: Yeas 39, Noes 40.

Mr. H. Lee reported a bill concerning the district of Columbia, which was read twice and referred to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Mason, from the committee of claims, made report on the petition of Mr. L. Eustis, that the petitioner had no just claim against the government of the United States—which report was read a second time by unanimous consent, and agreed to without division.
Mr. Cooper called up his resolution for appointing a committee, to enquire into the expediency of repealing the act directing the valuation of dwelling-houses, and enumeration of slaves.
On the motion of Mr. Otis, seconded by Mr. Griswold, the motion was so altered as to make the reference to the committee of ways and means, and then agreed to by the house.
Thursday, December 18.
The resolution made by Mr. M c Millen, in relation to the disposition and situation of lands in the N. W. Territory appropriated to the maintenance of schools and religion, was agreed to, and a committee of five members appointed.
Friday, December 19.
Mr. Claiborne laid before the House, a memorial of the House of Representatives of the Mississippi Territory, stating some inconveniences which had arisen from the want of authority in the governor to issue writs of election, in case of improper returns; suggesting also, the want of disposition on the part of Governor Sargent, to have the General Assembly organized, and stating the advantage which would accrue to the territory, if an earlier day for the meeting of the legislature was fixed by a law of Congress, On motion.
The said memorial was referred to Mr. Claiborne, Mr. Goodrich, and Mr. Nott, with authority to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Davis moved the reference to the same committee of certain resolutions submitted by him to the house during the last session, but then not acted upon, stating the alleged existence of several unconstitutional laws in the Mississippi Territory, whereby unjustifiable exactions were practised on the citizens.
The resolutions were read: after the reading Mr. Griswold desired a postponement of the motion for a reference till Monday, which was agreed to.
Mr. Griswold, from the committee to whom was referred so much of the President's speech as relates to the judiciary of the United States, reported a bill, which having
been read twice, was referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday.
Mr. H. Lee on the committee to whom was referred the several propositions made, came negative of the services of George Washington, reported a bill for the erection of a Mausoleum, differing in no other respects from the former bill reported, except as to the materials of which the Mausoleum is to be constructed; the present bill directing it to be made of stone, the former one directing it to be made of marble.
He said that the committee, after maturely considering the relative merits of all the plans proposed, had preferred the Mausoleum, as well from its superior durability as cheapness to any other.
The bill was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole house on Tuesday.
Monday, Dec. 23.
The motion made on Friday by Mr. Davis, to refer to the committee to whom had been referred a memorial of the House of Representatives of the Mississippi Territory on the official conduct of Governor Sargent, the following resolution: (containing with a specification of unconstitutional laws enacted by the Governor in conjunction with the Judges, and of sundry oppressive acts committed by him) viz. "Resolved that the laws passed by the Governor and Judges of the Mississippi Territory, and the petition of Cato West and others, heretofore presented to the house, together with all the documents relative thereto, be re-committed to the President of the United States," was taken up and on the question of reference.
Mr. Griswold said the whole subject, of which the resolutions now offered formed a part, was already referred to a committee.
The charges laid in the resolution were several. To refer them would be to give an indirect sanction to their truth, and he thought such sanction highly improper until they are proved. The committee already appointed had full power to investigate all the facts that existed. The result of their investigation would be reported, and it would then be time enough to express an opinion on the propositions now offered. These same resolutions had been offered to the house the last session, and had then been rejected. Mr. Griswold hoped the same course would now be pursued.
Mr. Davis said he had always thought that a committee, to ascertain facts, and to shape business for that house, proceeded from a knowledge, that a committee consisting of a few members could, in more facility, gain a knowledge of those facts than the house in its collective capacity could do. He could, therefore, see no good cause for withholding the resolutions from the select committee, who were appointed to consider the remonstrance from the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory. His resolutions contained facts, and he was ready to support them, from the documents before him. It would be criminal in the house to withhold from the committee any facts it was in their power to furnish. If this resolution contains misstatements, let the gentlemen from Connecticut show them, and he would readily join in expunging them, so as only to let pure facts go to the committee. He wished no imposition; he wanted only a fair examination into the conduct of Winthrop Sargent, governor of the Mississippi Territory, whose administration had been marked with so much reflection and discontent; and he believed justly. At the last session of Congress some alleviation was intended to be offered to the distresses of this oppressed people; but their governor had defeated the object by omitting to give notice of the election, as he ought to have done.
He was enjoined by the laws of last session, to give notice of the election, and to appoint a judge or judges to attend it; he had omitted to do so, and had refused to issue a writ of election (doubting for the first time his power.) This conduct had drawn from their legislature a remonstrance which required the further interposition of congress to enable them to organize their body. This remonstrance makes a general allusion to the unconstitutional laws made by the governor and judges; the resolution particularises those laws, and will bring them in a precise manner before the committee. If gentlemen doubted the accuracy of the resolution, he would convince those, who were not opposed to conviction, that it was correct. [Here Mr. Davis read several of the laws made by the Governor and Judges of the Mississippi Territory, and some clauses of the Federal Constitution to prove that the laws were unconstitutional.] Here then are abundant proofs of unconstitutional and oppressive laws, under which the people of that territory labor, and of which they complain; and will this house afford no relief, from a tyrant, who has trampled on their rights with a tiger's stride, and plucked from them by voracious and disgraceful laws, their hard earnings?
The Governor of that Territory receives annually a salary of 2000 Dollars for his services, and each of the judges a salary of 800 dollars per annum. This was imposed by the law a competent compensation; their acceptance of those offices for that sum acknowledges it to be enough; still you find laws here that give the governor a fee of eight dollars on tavern licences, &c. As well might the President of the United States claim fees for giving patents or any other writing to which he affixes his name. The judges of this Territory, who conjointly with the Governor made the laws, have taken care of themselves—Bare their table of fees, giving to themselves fees for certain services rendered by them in their judicial capacity. And is not this a shameful abuse of the Legislative power they are vested with? [Here Mr. D. read the table of fees.] Congress cannot raise their own wages; the Constitution has wisely forbade it, yet Winthrop Sargent and the judges give themselves what fees they please, without regarding the spirit of the constitution. If his resolution accompanies the remonstrance of the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory, the committee will be able to judge whether the Governor withheld the writ of election from a fear of exceeding his power; or whether he did it to prevent the organization of the Legislature; for had the Legislature been formed, those very laws by which he and the judges satiate their avarice, would have been repealed.
The gentleman from Connecticut says, that the resolution contains direct charges against a man high in office, and this house ought not to sanction them until they are proved. I trust I have proved them by a reference to the laws now before me, and if they are not proved, let the gentleman take the laws and shew wherein I am incorrect; and so much as is found defective, let him exchange. The gentleman says, that deposition is charged against the governor. Why, said Mr. D. what stronger proof of tyranny or despotism can you ask, than to see a man set no bounds to his conduct, and who breaks through the limits for him by the supreme laws of the land.
It is true this resolution was offered by me at the last session, but it was not rejected as the gentleman supposes, it was not acted upon; but if the gentleman from Connecticut, and other gentlemen on this floor, after seeing that Winthrop Sargent has openly violated the constitution of the United States, consider him a fit object to rally round; if after they see he has violated the ordinance designed for the government of that territory, they consider him a fit object, for them to cling to; if after seeing the shameful abuse of legislative power vested in his hands; and his disgraceful avarice; if after seeing, and hearing all this, they consider that he has acted consistently with federal principles, and is entitled to federal support, they will unite, and stifle this resolution here, and never let the committee see it—it may be that this resolution will be left to-day—perhaps it would be to-morrow; but the time is approaching, when the conduct of a public officer will not be sealed in this manner—The sun of federalism is nearly set—not three months, and it is for ever.
If this resolution contained any thing new or strange there would be some excuse for the objections made to a reference; but having been presented during the last session must have printed the facts charged to it on the minds of every member present—besides, these complaints have been made from the first hour Winthrop Sargent came into office, and have been heard from one extremity of the continent to the other. It is a fact well known, that at the time this man was appointed governor of the Mississippi Territory, he was hated and despised by the people of the Western Country. His pride, his insolence, and tyrannical disposition, had rendered his name odious to the Western Country. In this the gentleman who represents the N. W. Territory, and who was nearer the theatre of his actions than I was, can bear me witness—Still he was appointed. We felt indignant at the promotion of such a character by our government; but we have guardedly repressed our resentment.
The object, however, for which this man was set over us, has not been accomplished. His mission has failed. Though we felt the just indignation of freemen, we had more wit in our resentment than to commit any extravagant acts that would authorize "The Chief who now commands," to send "a Heaven-born band" among us—We were apprised of the disposition; we were apprised that an excuse was all that was wanted. But the reign of terror is almost at an end. If you want to conciliate the affections of the western people, and to bring them over to your administration, refer this resolution—if you do this, they will suppose that the complaints of their fellow citizens are heard and attended to, and that there is a hope of speedy redress; but if you reject it the reverse will be the effect.
You have no idea, said Mr. Davis, of the mischief this man has done in the Western Country; particularly in the Mississippi Territory. His conduct has reared a powerful opposition to your administration, which will grow with our growth and increase with our strength, unless you remedy the evils that oppress our suffering fellow citizens. His conduct has alienated the affections of the Western people, from your Government; and this effect it will have while our fellow citizens are suffered to complain unheard, and the conduct of their oppressor is justified. Ask a well informed man from this Territory, or from almost any part of the Western Territory, why are you opposed to the administration of the Government?—He will tell you in a moment,—I know, that Winthrop Sargent, Governor of the Mississippi Territory, has openly violated the Constitution of the United States in many instances. I know he has outrageously violated the ordinance of that Territory. I think he has shamefully exercised the Legislative Power put in his hands, by making it a cloak under which he has exacted the most exorbitant fees from the people to gratify his avarice—I know he has never received even a shuke from the Chief Magistrate for all this—I know that Winthrop Sargent for a small sum of a

great body; I am acquainted with the purifications of that vein; I know it beats to-wards aristocracy; I know it swells with tyranny and despotism; I consider the great body that feeds this small vein as also contaminated.—This will be the answer you will receive; and this will eternally be the language you will hear from those people, until you release them from the tyrannical bondage under which they are laid by the oppressions of their federal government.
Mr. Otis was aware the hall session, when this subject was before the house, to commit himself by a vote without possessing an accurate knowledge of the circumstances attending it. The same want of information under which he then laboured he still felt. Casting his eyes over the resolutions just read he discovered that they contained two serious declarations; the first that laws hostile to the happiness and prosperity of the citizens of the Mississippi territory, and at variance with the Constitution, had been passed under malignant intentions.
On the truth of these declarations Mr. Otis was not prepared to decide. He required that information, which the committee already appointed would be, most likely to furnish. If the gentleman from Kentucky had moved the appointment of a committee, either to enquire into the expediency of repealing those laws that were complained of, or to report facts whereon an impeachment could be grounded, he would have pursued the usual course; but when he commits a force to writing (or by no other name could he designate the thing of resolutions which he had moved) criminating in terms of harshness the conduct of a public officer, he constitutes himself as proposing an unprecedented step. As well might he move to refer what had fallen from him in debate this day.
In his opinion Mr. Otis said, the subject, desired by the gentleman from Kentucky could be accomplished with much greater propriety in the usual way, than in the now proposed.
But the gentleman said, if the charges are true that are contained in the resolutions, why not pass them? If false why not expunge them? How said Mr. Otis are these charges proved? How confident in the veracity of the gentleman; and was not perceived that he would not say what he did not know to be true, and that he did not know to be true, he would not say it. He would not say it to a baronet even the same strength of conviction with himself.
If the people of this territory are really oppressed, if they groan under the pressure of tyrannical and unconstitutional laws, let those laws be examined, and repealed. But when he found a gentleman coming from the neighbourhood of the territory, assisted by personal and local considerations, and animated by a zeal that dictated sentiments, which in cooler moments the gentleman himself would not approve, he could not avoid hesitating in taking his opinion as the guide of his vote.
This, Mr. Otis said, is not a question of federalism or anti federalism. It is the sin of federalism, as the gentleman from Kentucky affects, he felt; if the administration be changed; may one such a measure as this strike back upon its authors, and produce a change in the order of events. If the sin of federalism be let, would it not be unkind in the very day after, to suffer the gentlemen to relieve themselves by such an act?
I hope continued Mr. Otis that the sin of federalism is not let. If it shall be let, I hope that the latitude which that gentleman in his debate will not soon experience the weight of its animating and protecting influence. I believe it is not let, and greatly hope that any manner of the union, as well as all the rest, will long continue to feel its giving effects.
It might be proper to repeal the obnoxious law, without branding with corrupt motives those who enacted it. Mr. O. is concluded with declaring that in the accomplishment of this purpose of examination and enquiry warranted it, as well as in every proper way to gratify the citizens of the Mississippi territory, he would heartily concur.
(To be continued.)
Tuesday, December 23, 1800.
The bill for the erection of a Mausoleum to CROZER WASHINGTON was again before the House, when after a debate, protracted beyond the usual hour of adjournment, the question was taken by yeas and nays on the engrossment of the bill for a third reading, and carried Yeas 43—Nays 40.
The bill does not decide the dimensions or the position of the Mausoleum; but appropriates 200,000 Dollars for its erection.
The debate was in some parts of it, desultory, tedious, and uninteresting; and in others, forcible, and spirited. In particular the eloquence of Mr. Harper and Mr. Randolph was lofty and impressive; in the collision of opinion, the ordinary rules of decorum were prostrated; and language, indignant and sarcastic, impeaching personal motive, was reciprocated with keen severity.
(Debate in our next)
The House then adjourned to this day week.
SALEM, December 17.
On Thursday arrived at this port, the ship Brutus, William Brown, commander, in 32 days from Gibraltar, and 40 from Algiers. Capt. Brown informs—that the United States frigate George Washington, captain Bainbridge failed for Constantinople the 19th of October; having on board the Algerine general of Marine, and suite, with presents, &c. for the grand Seignor. The day of Algiers by force compelled captain Bainbridge to perform this service, and threatened, in case of refusal war to the United States, and slavery to the officers and crew of the George Washington. The dey also insisted, that the ship Brutus captain B. should be made and go to the Isle of Rhodes, for a cargo of Turks—no pay or freight to be allowed—but the voyage to be considered as a favour granted by the United States, through the influence of the American Consul Mr. O'Brien, and
the ship's being private property and having a perishable cargo on board she was excused from this service. Captain Brown embraced this favorable moment, fearing a further requisition, and quit Algiers, Oct. 25.
Captain Brown brought dispatches to the secretary of State, containing the particulars of this extraordinary affair. Mr. O'Brien and captain Bainbridge had remonstrated, but were obliged to comply, to prevent a more serious difficulty. Two days out from Algiers, captain Brown was brought to by the British brig Camella; the lieutenant of which informed, that she was bound for Egypt, with dispatches from Lord Keith; and that his lordship, with the fleet and transports under his command, was destined for Egypt. On arriving at Gibraltar, no one was permitted to land from the Brutus, because she was from the Barbary coast; but an American, a resident there, came along side, and informed, that the French marched into Leghorn on the 16th of October agreeably to the stipulation of the treaty with the Emperor—that the inhabitants were much exasperated at the measure, and that it had excited considerable commotion in that unfortunate city. The day the Brutus arrived at Gibraltar, an American ship, owned, by Murray and Mumford, of New-York, failed and was captured by some Spanish gun boats in a few hours—she had previously been boarded by the same boats, and cautioned against entering Gibraltar, it being declared in a state of blockade by his catholic majesty.
However she did enter and fell her cargo of flour—she was carried to Algeziras, and would probably be condemned. The gentleman also informed, that the plague at Cadiz, continued its ravages, and that it had spread into the interior of Spain, that it was at Malaga; and that in consequence the English at Gibraltar were very strict in their quarantine regulations. The next day capt. B. took advantage of the convoy of two frigates, which had under their protection 38 transports, most of them full of troops, bound to Lisbon—before they got through the gut, a westerly wind sprung up, which obliged the whole fleet to put into the Bay of Tutean, on the Barbary coast—found there, 7 sail of the line, and 45 transports with more troops. Next day was joined by Lord Keith, with four more sail of the line, and a number of frigates.—The fleet all that day and night were busily employed in watering, not being able to procure a supply at Gibraltar owing to the dry season. Next day failed with part of the fleet for Lisbon, leaving Lord Keith with the residue, and most all the troops at Tutean Bay—from whence it was conjectured that he was to sail for Egypt. Capt. Brown left the fleet that night.
The United States should immediately have six float frigates in the Mediterranean, to keep Regues in awe. Should any accident happen to the George Washington, in her passage to or from Constantinople, the government of the United States will be obliged to reimburse the Dey all damages he may sustain thereby, or his most Potent Majesty will order his corsairs to capture American Vessels.
Among the presents sent to the Grand Seignor were one hundred black slaves, 50 of them females—lyons, tigers, leopards, ostriches, &c. &c. valued at several millions of dollars. Precious cargo for an American Government ship!—Captain Bainbridge was obliged to hoist the Standard of Algiers at his main top-pendant-mast head, instead of the American Pendant!
The George Washington failed on the 19th of October, upon her new voyage, and may return to this country possibly in July next. She had carried out to the Algerine Government large supplies of stores, which were received on account of the annual stipulated payments from the United States. The English had offered a frigate for this purpose, but the Dey did not like to trust them, for fear they would secure the treasure to themselves, as there had been a serious misunderstanding with them.—Several Danish vessels were forcibly taken into possession, and ordered for the Isle of Rhodes upon a similar business with the Washington.
The English Consul was at first refused a
reception at Algiers, but was finally permitted to remain there.
Notwithstanding the treatment captain Bainbridge received from the Dey, the American Consul and flag is more respected there than any of the European consuls.—The Algerine Dey sent to Capt. Bainbridge that he ought to consider it a great mark of the Dey's favor, to go upon his Majesty's special business to the Grand Seignor—adding, that it was an honor he would confer on very few others. There are about 2300 European slaves in Algiers—some of them from the best families in Europe. The place appears very strong, but 6 or 8 Seventy-Pounders could batter it to pieces.
The policy of the English Government against a measure so important to the commercial world—A party Deput of a British State, with a small man-of-war, commands homage and respect from all the Christian World. O tempora! O mores!
Mr. O'Brien had written home to the American Government, requesting that another Consul might be sent out to supersede him.
NEW-YORK, December 17.
Hamburg Papers in the German language of the 24th October inclusive, were received yesterday at the office of the late entitled Advertiser by the brig Thomas. They detail a number of interesting articles, of which the following are the outlines.
On the 15th October a plot was discovered at Paris for setting time to the opera house; and about the same time an unsuccessful attempt was made to fire the powder magazine.
On the 9th October, the First Consul received an intimation that a plot was in agitation to assassinate him in the evening as he quit the Opera House; that eleven conspirators had pledged themselves to each other for the performance of the deed; and that it would be prudent in the Consul to decline going thither.—“I will go,” said Buonaparte; and having made the necessary arrangements, and armed Mo. Au bis successore in the Consulate, he went to the Opera, in his accustomed manner, unattended. The conspirators being known, the officers of police took suitable precautions, and arrested two of the principals, who confessed their criminal intention, and discovered their accomplices, amongst whom were Barere Debreim, and Lamurque. Delitgen search was making for the remainder. The person to whose friendship the Consul is indebted for the discovery of the plot is said to be an emigrant who had received permission from the government to return to his native country.
General La Fayette a man highly distinguished in the annals of our independence, is talked of as Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic to the United States. One of his daughters, it is added, is on the point of marriage with Lucien Buonaparte.
An embargo, which it was imagined would be of short duration, has been laid on all French vessels at Bourdeaux; the cause not made public.
In the convention of amity lately concluded with this country, it is laid to be stipulated, that an indemnity for spoliations, &c. to the amount of 20 millions of livres, shall be paid by France to America, at a period and in a manner, hereafter to be fixed; and that, for the ensuing four years, no treaty shall be concluded between the latter and Great-Britain until the conditions of it are made known to the French Government, and receive its approbation.
The French armies in Germany are progressing, though slowly, into the heart of the Empire; and the most active exertions are employed on the part of the Emperor to make a desperate and effectual resistance whenever circumstances shall render it necessary to employ the whole energies of Austria.
The English still maintain the blockade of Cadiz, and threaten to set fire to the town.—The Governor and 30,000 of the inhabitants, have fled into the country, to avoid the pestilence which had carried off 10,000 people. 11,000 were lying sick, & 26,000 had recovered.
A letter from Frankfort, under date of October 18th, says, “In the night of the 12th three couriers arrived at the head-quarters of General Moreau, who set off immediately for Paris, accompanied by several of his officers, and passed through Crollstadt to Sauburgh on the 14th. Lecourbe went off before him to take command of the armed force, and general St. Suzanne succeeded Moreau, ad interim.”
Apartments are fitting up at Mentz for the Chief Consul, who in all probability there during the Congress, should it meet at Luneville, as is expected. In the mean time Buonaparte and Talleyrand are said to be busily employed in drawing out a plan for a General Peace, in which the interests of all parties will be consulted to give it permanency.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Hamburg, to a respectable House in this city, dated 23d October.
“Although a new armistice has taken place between the Emperor and the French and the English have been trying whether they could also make up their differences; the result of both appears to be still dubious—and the Negotiations with the latter are reported to be broken off already.—If peace on the continent should take place, it is believed the differences with England will not be soon settled.”
WASHINGTON, December 22.
We understand that in the progress of the negotiations attending the French Treat-
ty, the commissioners on the part of France laboriously strove to obtain the restoration of the Treaty of 1778, and offered in case that was restored an indemnification for spoliated property; but stated that in case that treaty was not reinstated, the claims of the American government for indemnities made under its treaty, ought not to be allowed. Our commissioners, in conformity to instructions received, declared the reinstatement of the Treaty of '78 to be altogether inadmissible; but endeavored for a considerable length of time to obtain compensation for illegal seizures, without connecting therewith the condition insisted upon by the French commission. They however failed in the accomplishment of this object, and finally voted the consideration of indemnities to future negotiation.

From the AURORA.
The situation of America under our troubled administration, derives every day some new lustre—as it the character of the country was not already sufficiently humbled by paying a tribute to the Dey of Algiers, and to the Dey's Cook—the frigate named George Washington has by a peculiarity of blindness & fatality, been put in the power of the Barbarians!
At the same moment we learn of a tribute exacted by Great Britain through the private agency of Sitgreaves . We candidly confess, that this last measure does not meet our implicit credit—though considering what has passed and the fitness of the agent for such a business, that it is not alone her improbable.
Under all circumstances, however, the blustering and bombastic brimborion should not be forgotten of—“millions for defence but not a cent for tribute!”

Stevensburg Academy.
AT a meeting of the trustees of the Eves Academy on December 18th 1800, James O'Gillie was unanimously elected Professor of that Seminary. By order of the Trustees, W. C. Williams, Sec'y.
The subscriber will remove to Stevensburg on the 15th of January, 1801, when he will be ready to receive pupils and prepared to prosecute the course of instruction delineated in the advertisement respecting the Eves Academy. Suitable accommodations for any number of pupils may be procured at Stevensburg, or in its immediate vicinity—the charge for board, and a charging will be $1. per annum, every boarder finding his own bed and bedding.
J. Ogilvie.
P. S. Many circumstances concurred to induce the subscriber to become a candidate on the Professorship at Stevensburg. The conjunction of two instructors in Pappasquock, where one was formerly competent to teach as many pupils as were likely to attend, obviously tended to circumscribe the sphere of their professional usefulness and as bridge their individual emoluments, not to add that the competency of two schools composed of boys of different ages, was productive of many serious inconveniences. His removal to Stevensburg, whilst it presents to the instructor a situation more auspicious to the success of his exertions, will enable his amiable and accomplished second Thomas Ritchie, to display his distinguished talents in an ampler theatre, and exert them with more unlettered energy.
J. Ogilvie.
Richmond, December 26, 1800.
School at Pappasquock.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the removal of James Ogilvie to Stevensburg, has deprived the exclusive direction of the School at Pappasquock upon the subscriber. The want of a more competent instructor has determined him to extend the sphere of his instruction, to more general science and more advanced classes. He will be prepared to teach Reading, Writing, Geography, Arithmetic, Mathematics, Grammar, the Latin Language, some branches of natural Philosophy, and Political Economy. His terms will be 30 Dollars per annum, to be paid Quarterly, and the fifth Quarter in advance. The School will meet on the 10th of January.
The protection of an Instructor has been too long neglected & dishonored; the radical profession of society, the profession which can alone awaken and animate the energies of reason, which alone can instil into the mind of the rising generation the principles of science, and the sentiments of justice, and organic public opinion upon the foundations of inalienable truth, has encountered in America the same prejudices which tenacious institutions, and oligarchical institutions have attached to it in Europe.
It is not to be expected that these prejudices shall vanish until men shall more clearly see their absurdity—until the advantages at this profession shall be more clearly exhibited—until a more liberal system of instruction shall be introduced into the Schools. This conviction has induced the subscriber to devote all the energies of his mind to his present profession. He conscientiously believes he can aid in the development of a more rational system. Nothing could so much gratify his vanity or his Philosophy, as the advancement of his purpose. Nothing can so much animate his efforts, as the prospect of success!
To such as may doubt his Qualifications for the arduous office, which he has undertaken to discharge, a sufficient apology has been already offered. Had any one been equally willing and more competent to discharge this office, to him would he have willingly relinquished his responsibility. Thus bound by duty, he should conceive himself unworthy of his place if he had not already anticipated all its difficulties; but this bound, he should conceive himself still more unworthy if he had not prepared to meet them with future piety and Zeal.

THE NOTED HORSE Old Fitz-Partner, A BEAUTIFUL BAY.
SIXTEEN hands and a quarter high, of great activity and highly formed; got by the noted horse Old Partner, who was got by the noted imported horse Morton. Traveller, was bred by Col. John Boyle of Richmond county, and came out of Dublin, who was imported by Col. Faison of Maryland, which is given up by the best judges to be the best mare ever brought to America, and a near descendant of the Godolphin Arabian. Fitz-Partner was bred by Gen. Meade of Amelia, his dam was by the imported horse Aristotle, grand dam by the noted horse Whittington, great grand dam by Jolly Roger, his great grand dam a Double Dam, out of an imported mare, the property of Col. Francis Raper. Fitz-Partner's dam was likewise the dam of the well known horses Old Crier, Old Jim, Tipped-Tail and Old Jim, which are all ranked amongst the best breeding horses now in being. As to Fitz-Partner's colts I have certificates from gentlemen of unqualified character that will prove them to be equal to any on the continent, where she stood five seasons at one place. The above horse will stand the ensuing season at my stable in Charlotte county, on St. John's river, five miles below Old's ferry, to commence the 27th day of March, and expire the last day of July, at Six Dollars the season, Six Dollars the foal, and a Half Dollar to the groom, the foal and groom money to be paid when the foal is weaned with the mare for $100 per share, payable the first day of November, which may be discharged by the payment of ten dollars, by the first day of October. Bold and extensive low ground pasture very rich grass, divided into two separate fences, one of which will be exclusively appropriated to mares with colts. The greatest care will be taken to prevent escapes or accidents of any kind, but no liability for either. Gentlemen who think proper to have their mares fed, shall have any kind of grain at the market price; servants lent with the mares boarded gratis. I shall strive to give general satisfaction, as I expect to keep a good number at the same place for several seasons. All those who think proper to send mares to the above mentioned place, living near South-Boston, will cross in the cove on Staunton river, never against the tide.

Domestic Medicines.
FOR THE CURE OF COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, AND CONSUMPTIONS.
DR. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS
Is a Medicine unequalled by any other in the world—Since first discovered by Dr. Church, it has restored to Health many Thousands of the most Emaciated Objects, both Asthmatic and Consumptive that were ever known to exist in Europe, America and the West-Indies, and often when every other Medicine had been used without effect, and the most eminent of the Faculty consulted in vain. It is a Sovereign, Speedy, and Effectual Remedy in
 Head Aches, Sore Throats, Catarrhs, Wheezings, Shortness of breath, Congested Phlegm, Pickings in the Spitting of Blood, Throat, Soreness of the breast, Rhooping Cough, and Stomach, &c. 
ASTHMAS & CONSUMPTIONS, and all Disorders of the Breasts and Lungs. Further proof of its efficacy, with a list of upwards of One Thousand Attested Cases of Cure, may be seen at the place of Sale.
The only Medicine in the World, that Cures the most Inveterate ITCH in four hours.
The Genuine Patent Scotch Ointment,
For Pleasantry, Safety, Expedition, Ease and Certainty, is infinitely superior to any other Medicine for the cure of the Itch. It is so certain in its operation, that it has never failed in any one instance whatever, of effectually curing that disagreeable disorder in four hours, by one application only, though applied to many thousands in England, Scotland and Ireland. It does not contain the least particle of Mercury, see the Affidavit, but may be applied with the greatest safety on the most delicate Lady during her pregnancy; or the tenderest Infant.
The Proprietor is so certain of its infallibility, that he engages to return the money to any person on whom it does not perform a cure in four hours.
FOR Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints, Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Bilious Disorders, Inward Weaknesses, Indigestion, Obsolete Greets, Juvenile Infirmities, and Premature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the consequences of a dissipated life—Bacchus or Pleasure or Grief—Heat or Change of Climate—Immoderate Use of Tea, Spirituous Liquors, or any Intemperance—Bad Lyings in—Diseases incident to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life—
The Cordial Restorative Balsam
Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.
This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak Female Constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a nervine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs. Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate seminal gleet in men, & corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and honorably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolic compositions which are so shamefully administered to the unwary.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours, are afflicted with weakness and infirmities; in which case it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the consequences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this, find themselves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudencies or intemperance in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, a few doses of this Medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs of digestion, and by renovating the whole constitution.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility; and to the aged and infirm, it will afford the most great relief and comfort, by gently and slowly invigorating the system; it will not give humoralty; but it will be the power of Medicine to give the autumn of declining years a calm and serene period, and the close of life as easy as its narrow span. This Restorative is capable of effecting the greatest cures.
Constitutions relaxed, a weak or decayed man or woman, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative. Old coughs, loon removed, and peeping seen. Plenty of blood and color added, will here long meet the happy change.
It will be found a most effectual remedy in the read- It will be found a most effectual remedy in the read-
It will be found a most effectual remedy in the read- It will be found a most effectual remedy in the read-
FOR THE CURE OF RITS.
THE PATENT ANTISPASMODIC ELIXIR Convulsions, Hiccups, Epileptic, or Falling Sits, Are effectually Cured by this Excellent Medicine. Its virtues are absolutely Specific and Unparalleled. It has failed in no instance within the knowledge of the proprietor (when taken agreeable to the directions, and perseverance) the most difficult The ever known. One case of Cure is submitted out of a considerable number, as proof of its Efficacy, attested before the Lord Mayor of London.
AFFIDAVIT.
"I, James Pocock, of No 40 North Street, in the Parish of St. Luke's, Middlesex, do hereby swear, That I was grievously affected with Rits for upwards of fourteen years, and that in its violent degree, as to require twelve men to hold me in chains, to prevent me dashing myself to pieces. They would generally lessen the Rits, and often lessen them; in consequence of which my constitution became quite emaciated. I made applications to many eminent gentlemen of the faculty, who afforded me no relief whatever. till I applied to Dr. James Church, of the City Road, who prescribed his Antispasmodic Elixir for me, which I took, and which alone cured me of the most dreadful Rits, and restored me to perfect health. This deponent further maketh oath, and saith, that it is now two years since he was cured of his Rits, and he has had no return of them whatever.

To the Nervous, Weak, Debilitated, Senile, and Consumptive,
IS RECOMMENDED THE CELEBRATED BOTANICAL TEA, INSTEAD OF FOREIGN TEA.
This Tea is universally approved of in preference to Foreign Tea, as the most pleasant, wholesome, enlivening, invigorating, and powerful restorative ever adopted, for persons of all ages, but particularly those of the above description; as it will infallibly strengthen, and eventually repair a bad constitution.
It is taken for breakfast instead of foreign tea, and as our first aliment in the morning is designed to recruit the waste of the body from the night's insensible perspiration, it is well known, and an important fact which ought to be borne on the mind of every one that foreign tea are inadequate to such purposes, as all will allow; it unnerves and tears the substance of the body—This substance is peculiarly adapted as a salutary and nourishing diet, or as a morning and afternoon beverage.
The Botanical Tea
Is an agreeable, refreshing, and delicate of the kind, acts of appetite, (particularly in the morning) digestion of food, windy complaints, It specifically relieves the head and stomach in windy or rheumatic pains; and in cases of weak digestion, but particularly after making too free with the constitution, by an immoderate use of wine, spirituous liquors, or any intemperance; it is happily suited to hot climates, and is adopted and approved of by some of the first families in the United States and in the West-Indies, for its nourishing and invigorating properties; and in bilious cases, where the appetite has failed, it is a sovereign remedy. Prepared (only) by Dr. James Church, New-York.
FOR THE CURE OF CORNS.
Infallible German Corn Plaster.
This Plaster (the invention of a German Physician, who administered it in Germany with the greatest success) is infallible for the Cure of Corns: It will effectually eradicate them, Root and Branch, in a short time.
