CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday February 21.
The bill for increasing the salaries of the judges of the territory of Orleans, was read the third time and rejected.
Yea 45, Nays 68. The bill for the relief of Philip Nicklin and R. E. Griffith was read the third time and passed. Yea 69, Nays 40.
Mr. Jackson observed that the House having decided against the augmenting the salaries of the judges of the territory of Orleans, in consequence probably, of the idea that a general review of the salaries of the judges of the several territories of the United States, should be previously made, he would in correspondence with that impression offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee of Ways and Means be instructed to inquire into the expediency of increasing the salaries of the officers of the territories of the United States, and of the District of Columbia, or any of them, and that they be authorised to report by bill or otherwise.
On the question to take this motion into consideration the House divided.
Ayes 23. The bill authorising the sale of a lot of land in the town of Cincinnati, and state of Ohio, was read a third time and passed.
The Speaker laid before the house a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, enclosing an annual statement of the district tonnage of the United States.
A bill was received from the Senate to suspend the commercial intercourse between the U. States and certain parts of the island of St. Domingo.
This bill prohibits all commercial intercourse between the citizens or inhabitants of the United States, and any part of the island of St. Domingo, not in the possession and under the acknowledged government of France; in violation of this provision, the vessel and cargo are to be forfeited. It is limited to one year and the President is authorized at any intermediate time to take off the restraints and prohibitions.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
Mr. Gregg, agreeably to notice given yesterday, called for the order of the day on a resolution, offered by him on the 6th day of December, for the repeal of so much of an act of Congress, regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee, as appropriates any portion thereof to the satisfaction of claims under certain acts of Georgia.
Mr. Meriwether moved a postponement until Monday.
Mr. Eppes moved a postponement till the 2d Monday of March. He said every member knew his sentiments on this subject. He was in favor of the proposition of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. But while so many interesting subjects, in which the national welfare was directly involved, remained unacted upon, he did think that every thing calculated to disturb the harmony of the House ought to be withheld from consideration; that no unpleasant circumstances, or division of opinion on subordinate points, should prevent the concurrence of men of all parties in the adoption of measures called for by the interesting crisis of our affairs.
Mr. Gregg did not know on what ground gentlemen inferred that this proposition was calculated to cause more division among the members of the house, than any proposition which might be offered. It was a plain and simple question, whether it was not best under all the circumstances of the case, to repeal the law making an appropriation for satisfying the claims under the act proposed to be repealed; that congress might forever be done with the subject. Mr. G. said he had forborne calling up the resolution for the reasons assigned by the gentleman from Virginia. Though he considered the subject important, and that it behoved the legislature to decide upon it at an early day, he had thought it most advisable not to call it up till the great national business before the House were attended to. This last business had been unexpectedly to him delayed from time to time; and he thought it probable that the resolution under consideration, could be acted upon before the House were prepared to act upon the national business. He regretted that our differences with one of the belligerent nations had not before this time been acted on. He had laid a resolution on the table on this subject 4 weeks ago. But it had been delayed by a call for various Treasury statements; which he regretted having consented to ask, as in his opinion they had no bearing on the subject.
Mr. Jackson rose to move a postponement indefinitely.
Mr. Leib said as the motion involved a decision of the main question he would call for the ayes and noes.
Mr. Thomas hoped the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Jackson would withdraw his motion, as from its going to reject the resolution it would produce all the remarks which would also form a direct discussion of it. For the reasons which had been urged by the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Eppes) who had first spoke, which he considered very cogent; and as the subject of compromise was progressing, and might
be settled before the second Monday of March, he hoped the motion for an indefinite postponement would be withdrawn, and that for a postponement to the second Monday of March prevail.
Mr. Jackson said, if he viewed the subject in the same light with the gentleman who had just spoken, he would agree to withdraw his motion. He could, however, never make principle bend to expediency. Principle had heretofore governed his vote, and he would still continue to govern it. Even on the ground of expediency, he doubted the propriety of adopting the resolution. It was known there was another subject connected with it, before the legislature. If that should be decided in the negative, it might be proper to agree to this resolution. As there was a probability that that subject would come before the house, he did not wish to bring the subject twice before them in one session. Its discussion had heretofore excited all the malignant passions of the human heart, and it was well calculated to disturb that harmony which ought assiduously to be cherished when they were on the eve of entering on business of the deepest national interest.
Mr. J. said he wished the subject could be avoided altogether. He was heartily sick of it, and wished to get rid of it for ever. But he thought it most proper that the question of compromise should first be decided. If that were negatived, the course pointed out by the resolution of the gentleman from Pennsylvania might be necessary.
Mr. Alston hoped the motion for an indefinite postponement would not prevail. He said that though his sentiments were not changed on this subject, and though they were the same now they ever had been, he did believe the tranquillity of the nation depended much on the decision of this question, and the meeting it fairly and fully. He hoped this would take place this session; but with his friend from Virginia, he hoped the subject would not now be taken up. He thought that the other questions relative to a compromise of claims should be previously discussed. If the question of compromise should not be agreed to, he would agree to that course which would prevent the subject from ever being agitated within these walls, by transferring it entirely to the judiciary tribunals of the country. He would rather make a voluntary return of the whole territory to Georgia than suffer the subject to remain in its present state. Should the compromise be not agreed to, he would in proper time lay a proposition to this effect before the House. He thought the interest of the nation required the getting rid of the subject in this way.
Mr. Jackson withdrew his motion. He said his object could be effected by postponing the resolution from time to time, till the question of compromise should be first decided. He was indeed willing that both questions should be decided at the same time.
Mr. Clark was really concerned his colleague had made this motion. The resolution of the gentleman from Pennsylvania had been before them two months, and not a single step taken respecting it, and now we are told we are not to act upon it till a proposition, not even before us, shall be decided upon. Whatever may be before the other branch of the legislature, we are not at liberty to argue upon it. What we are not at liberty to argue at this subject, when gentlemen say their object to postpone it from time to time, till a proposition in its embryo shall be decided upon? If the subject is really considered as composed of such inflammable materials as some gentlemen think the sooner it is decided the better. Mr. C. said he was ready to go at once into the discussion, and he thought the hotter the battle, the earlier would be the peace that followed it. He was ready to repeal the law, which in the opinion of some gentlemen, gave a sanction to claims founded in fraud and corruption.
Mr. Gregg said he had no objection to the postponement moved by the gentleman from Virginia, provided they could get at the business contemplated by him. But if this could not be done, he was rather for going into a consideration of the resolution. As to the proposition of compromise, he knew nothing of it. No proposition of this kind had been received by the house from the claimants. To postpone therefore this resolution for a business they knew nothing about, was very extraordinary. If he were satisfied they could get at this business within the time mentioned, he would be content to let it rest for the present. But as that was uncertain, he hoped the resolution would not prevail.
Mr. G. W. Campbell hoped the motion to postpone would prevail. Business of much more importance claimed a prior attention. He conceived that the resolution, when investigated, would be found to contain a very curious principle, which the house would not be likely to adopt. It went not merely to decide on the rights of others, but to strip them of the right of deciding upon those rights. He should be against deciding on the resolution until they had previously decided the question of compromise. As he did not think it necessary, before this decision was made, to deprive themselves of the power of allowing claims which might be brought before them. The postponement would leave an opening to congress to act on these claims as they may see fit. For this reason, and in order that business of greater moment might be taken up in the first
instance, he should be in favor of the postponement.
The question was then taken on the postponement until the second Monday of March, and carried—Ayes 73—Nays 39.
Mr. Nicholson, from the committee of ways and means, in the absence of the chairman, reported a bill making appropriation for the support of government for the year 1806, which was referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Gregg in the chair—on the bill from the senate providing for the payment of the witnesses on the trial of Samuel Chase.
Mr. J. C. Smith gave a history of the fate of a similar bill at the close of the last session, and advocated its adoption.
Mr. Macon moved to amend the bill by limiting the payment of witnesses to those summoned on the part of the U. States.
On this motion a debate arose, which occupied the remainder of the sitting: in which Messrs. Macon and Nicholson supported; and Messrs. Alston, Jackson, and Early opposed the amendment.
When, on motion of Mr. Smilie, the committee rose and obtained leave to sit again.
The Committee of Claims, to whom was referred the letter addressed by William Lambert, to the Speaker, REPORT—
"The applicant requests the payment of his salary as principal clerk in the office of clerk of this house, from 1st October to 1st December, 1805, inclusive, which he complains is unjustly withheld from him.
"Without considering whether the present applicant performed with fidelity, the duties of his place, it is sufficient to observe, that from evidence before the committee, it appears he was not removed from office until the commencement of the present session. As the claim is clearly cognizable by the accounting officers of the treasury, there can be no necessity at this time of any legislative interference.
"Your committee are therefore of opinion, that it is not expedient for the house to take any order on the letter of William Lambert, addressed to their speaker."
Considered and agreed to by the house, February 14th, 1806.
SENATE UNITED STATES.
Thursday, February 3. Additional provision for the sick and disabled American seamen.
The following memorial from the governors of the Hospital, in the city of N. York, was presented to the Senate by Mr. Mitchell; it exhibits the suffering condition of sick and disabled American seamen, in our own ports, owing to a deficiency of the peculiar application of the fund intended for their relief.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled. The Governors of the Hospital in the city of New-York, Respectfully shew:—
THAT for several years past the sick and disabled seamen in the port of N. York have been received into the Hospital under their care. That for the board, nursing, medicine & attendance of such seamen, a sum has been agreed upon between your memorialists and the Collector of the port of N. York, which has been regularly paid and is considerably less than what is charged in other states for the same object.
This arrangement, your memorialists believe, has been eminently beneficial to the seamen, and attended with the greatest economy of the funds destined for their support.
That your memorialists have expended very considerable sums in making additions and improvements to the buildings and grounds of the Hospital so as to afford ample and convenient accommodation for the sick and disabled. That the collector of the port of New York, acting under the direction of the secretary of the treasury of the U States, has since the beginning of July one thousand eight hundred and four, limited the number of seamen to be admitted into the Hospital, on account of the United States to seventy five at any one time.
In consequence of the very great and increasing commerce and navigation of the port of New York, a larger number of seamen have applied for admission into the Hospital; and the governors considering that these unfortunate persons, having paid their Hospital money to the United States, were entitled to public support, and if rejected, would be thrown upon the charity of their fellow-citizens, have never refused
to admit any of them, when they appeared prior objects, though exceeding the number limited by the collector. They conceived it duty which they owed to humanity, to part to such seamen the benefits of the infirmary, in the same manner as if they were paid for by the United States. In consequence of this, there is now due to your memorialists, for the board, nursing, medicine and attendance of American seamen, over and above the number paid for by the collector, the sum of eleven hundred and ninety-two dollars, and twenty-nine cents, up to the 8th inst. as will appear from the annexed accounts, marked A, and B, and which your memorialists request may be re-imbursed to them, in such manner as Congress may think proper to direct.
But your memorialists, however willing they may be to extend the benefits of this hospital to all American seamen, yet, in consequence of the progressive increase of the number, find that their funds will not allow them to do so; if they are sensible that if those who apply beyond the number limited by the collector should be refused admission, many deserving individuals might degenerate into beggars or paupers, or be liable to perish in the streets. To provide against the necessity of a measure that might be considered not only as unfeeling, but unjust in regard to a very useful class of men; your memorialists appeal to the wisdom and justice of Congress.
From the relative situation of the port of New York, a very large part of the navigation and foreign commerce of the adjacent states centers in this place, and a great number of seamen belonging to other states are of course received into the hospital.
If the monies now collected from American seamen, cannot be so applied as to produce an adequate sum to support all those admitted in the New York hospital, your memorialists request, that an additional monthly sum be collected from each seaman in the manner specified in the acts of congress passed July 16, 1798, and March 2, 1799, or that such other provision should be made for the support of all the sick and disabled seamen admitted into this hospital, as congress may think most fit and reasonable.
All which is respectfully submitted.
(Signed) M. CLARKSON, Pres.
New York, 30th Jan. 1806.

NEW YORK, February 20.
The Union Supper. —It appears that on Tuesday evening, a supper was given at Dyde's Hotel, by way of celebrating the "union of honest men." Lest the reader be at a loss to comprehend the subject, it is necessary to state that (extraordinary as it may seem) the Clintonians and the Burrites have at length agreed to entomb their animosities, and to renew the attachment, harmony and friendly intercourse of former days. And truly, this business furnishes a most singular and ludicrous paraphrase on Burr's celebrated toast. Until this moment, we believe the most learned political commentators have not been able to discover the true reading of the text.
For the amusement of our readers, we have selected the following toasts which were given on the occasion:
3. AARON BURR, late vice-president of the United States—dignified in the chair; prompt in the cabinet; gallant in the field—May his country duly appreciate his talents and his services.
4. May the spirit of conciliation, so happily manifested on this occasion, continue to progress until the recollection of the late misunderstanding in the republican family shall be forever obliterated.
7. A union in principle, and a union of honest men.
10. The return of Spring and the breaking of the ice, when the streams of republican energy will unite and flow in one vast torrent too powerful to be resisted, too pure to be polluted.
16. May the harmony and cordiality of this evening be disseminated among the republicans throughout the state and prove the basis of a sincere and lasting friendship.
February 22. What is the ultimate destination of the Leander, is a question that has excited no small degree of interest both in this city, (whence she lately sailed) & over the whole country. The mystery seems to be in some measure developed by a series of queries which appeared in the Philadelphia Gazette of Wednesday evening, & which are inserted below. With the editor of the Post we are "morally certain the following queries originate with no less a personage

than the Spanish ambassador, and considering that he could only be justified on the supposition of criminating answers, we present them to our readers as the most interesting article inserted in the paper during the current year."
(N. Y. Daily Adv.)
FROM RELF'S GAZETTE.
COMMUNICATION.
Serious questions to Mr. Madison.
Did Miranda go to Washington about the middle of December last?  Had he two long interviews with you?  Did he not present you a plan of an expedition against the province of Carracas?  Did he support the probability of success by the exhibition of various letters, either real or spurious, supposed to be written to him from his friends in that country?  Did he shew you a plan of the government he intended to establish in those provinces?  Did the president peruse the said plan of government, keep the manuscript 24 hours in his possession, and return it afterwards to Miranda, approving it in general terms?  Did you observe to Miranda that congress did not appear inclined to go to war with Spain?  Did Miranda reply, that if government was not so disposed he could carry the plan into execution himself, if they did not interfere about his preparations?  Did you answer him, after a long pause, that government would shut their eyes, provided he would act with the necessary caution so as not to commit them?  Did Miranda return immediately to N. York to make his preparations, and act in consequence?  Is it possible, is it credible that if Miranda had not met from you with a kind of indirect encouragement, he would immediately on his return from Washington have proceeded to expences that a little vigilance alone would have rendered useless?  Is it credible, that, without that indirect support, two officers of the federal government at the port of New York, could have engaged in such a nefarious proceeding?  Is it credible that one of them would have permitted his eldest son to attend general Miranda in this depredatory expedition in the capacity of his aid?  Is it true, that the Leander, in which this young man embarked, had on board many muskets, rifles, pikes, field-pieces, howitzers, ammunition of all kinds, regimentals, two printing presses, with ten or twelve journeymen printers?  Is it true, that this vessel remained in port a fortnight after clearing out at the custom-house, to embark recruits, and that the objects of the delay were generally known at New York?  Is it to be supposed, that if the administration had even not had any previous information of the scheme, they could be ignorant of these transactions, known to every body else! Even admitting, for supposition sake, that they had not a previous knowledge, would not their supposed ignorance be a glaring proof of the most criminal neglect?  Has not the honor and neutrality of our country been committed in the most scandalous manner by an hostile armament fitted out in our ports under the eyes of public officers, consisting of American ships under the American flag, with American officers, American crews, American volunteers, American arms, and many other American implements of war, with the object of attacking the colonies of a nation with whom we are at peace?  Are not all these circumstances together, sufficiently weighty to influence the Spanish commanders, if Miranda's attempt takes place to lay an embargo on all American property within their jurisdiction?  Will not the innocent merchant of the United States be exposed to the most ruinous and disastrous consequences, if an event of this nature should take place?  And should they not consider either a criminal connivance or a not less culpable neglect on the part of those through whose authority such scandalous proceedings could have been checked and prevented as the true causes of their misfortunes?  These questions are made by every body, and we must confess that daily circumstances occur which in our opinion render a satisfactory answer more and more difficult. We submit them to the public, as immediately interested in the clearing up of a mystery which appears to hang over this affair, and which seriously threatens the interest of our fellow citizens.
A question for the Attorney General? Should it appear that the late Spanish ambassador has really discovered the SECRET TRANSACTIONS of congress, or other members of THE GOVERNMENT; is it not PRIMA FACIE evidence that he has been CONSPIRING, and has detached from his DUTY and ALLEGIANCE some citizen of the United States.
In such a case then, is it not the duty of the executive to REMOVE THE NUISANCE. The bishop of Ely ambassador of the court of Elizabeth of England, was twice committed to prison for so seducing persons from their allegiance—and was finally banished and his associates hanged!

Letters from Washington mention that the French minister has demanded of our government that they immediately dispatch two frigates after the Leander to bring her back or prevent her from committing hostilities against Spain; or otherwise that he shall withdraw from the United States.
The schooner Adeline, Captain Barker, of New-York, on her passage from Bourdeaux to New Orleans, has been captured by the Hornet privateer and carried into Antigua, and all the crew except the captain and mate, impressed on board the Adament frigate. It was believed she would be condemned.
Capt. Arlett, (arrived at New York) from Kingston informs, that a few days previous to his sailing a British frigate arrived there with intelligence, of a French fleet of 17 sail of the line having been seen standing to the westward. The inhabitants of Jamaica were much alarmed at this report; and the government immediately ordered two of their largest vessels of war to be hauled into the channel way abreast of Port Royal Harbour.
From the BOSTON CEN TINEL.

"MR. RUSSEL,
BY the arrival of the Two Mothers, at this port, in 60 days from Cadiz, we are furnished with a copy of ad. Collingwood's letter to the gov. of Cadiz, relaxing in some degree, the blockade of that port. Presuming, its publication may serve your commercial friends, it is inclosed.
Yours respectfully,"
"QUEEN, GIBRALTAR BAY, November 19."
"MY LORD MARQUIS,
"HIS majesty having been pleased to order that the ships of neutral nations trading to the ports of Cadiz and San Lucar, with such cargoes as are not contraband of war shall be permitted freely to pass without interruption from his blockading squadron.
"I have to request your excellency will be pleased to order this, his majesty's concession, to be signified to the Consuls of the neutral nations residing in Cadiz.
"I have the honor to subscribe myself, my Lord, your most obedient servant.
"C. COLLINGWOOD.

The Cork Fleet. —From Jamaica papers to the 25th ult. received at New-York, we copy the following, relative to the capture of a part of this fleet:
(Commercial Adv.)
Montego Bay, (Jam.) Jan. 25.
Arrived the ship Anne, one of a fleet from Cork, which, with 23 other merchantmen sailed on the 12th of December, under convoy of the Arethusa, Boadicea, and Wasp. The following is captain Thompson's information.
"On the 16th, in lat. 45, long. 11, at daybreak, saw the Boadicea chasing a strange sail to the N. W.; seven more immediately appeared in the same direction, and eight more in the S. W. After signals had been made between them and the Boadicea, which was very near them, the Arethusa made the signal for the convoy to disperse for their own security. The men of war and a number of the convoy stood to the N. N. W. and the rest to the Southward; at sun-down saw, from our mast-head, 16 sail of the convoy, steering to the S. S. W. and could only see a few of the sternmost of the enemy's ships, still going to the Northward. On the 17th, saw the Lightfoot; Anne and Lightfoot, for Jamaica; Venerable, for Hon-
duras, and Flora, for Antigua; which we kept company with, till off St. Kitt's, when we joined the Frisguard's convoy, all but the Flora, which went into Antigua."
Off Cape Tiburon, the Cork fleet was joined by his majesty's ship La Pique, captain Ross, who convoyed the north side ships to their destined ports.
About 100 miles to the eastward of the island, the Seahorse frigate fell in with the Frisguard, and La Pique; only signals passed, by which it was understood she was express from lord Collingwood's fleet, bound to Port Royal, and would probably arrive on Tuesday.
The following vessels of the Cork fleet, for this island, have been captured by the enemy.
Robert Derbyshire, with brigadier generals Balfour and Montresor on board; Gallant Schemer, Gardner, carried into Guadalupe; Cambrian, Richards, retaken, and arrived at Antigua.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man, named ANDREW . He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the miller's ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Canfield, at Port Tobacco.

The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Colic, Flatulency, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH . Price 42 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
