CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, March 7.
Mr. Porter presented a petition from a number of patentees of improvements in the useful arts, residing in Philadelphia, praying an extension of the terms of their patents.
Mr. Boyle, from the committee on public lands, reported a bill supplemental to the act regulating grants of lands in the Michigan territory. Made the order for Thursday.
Mr. G. W. Campbell from the committee of ways and means reported a bill amendatory of the bill regulating the compensation of the clerks in the different departments of the government. Made the order for Friday.
A message was received from the President of the United States, on the subject of the New Orleans Batture, accompanied by a number of documents.
The speaker laid before the house some resolutions of the legislature of Kentucky, declaring their confidence in the federal executive, and pledging themselves to support any measures which the honor or interest of the nation may be deemed to require. Laid on the table.
Mr. J. Clay from the committee appointed to enquire into the expediency of amending the several laws for the encouragement of learning, and the promotion of the useful arts reported a bill. Made the order for Friday.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill regulating proceedings in court martial and courts of enquiry, Mr. Storer in the chair. On a previous day, a motion was made to strike out the first section. The question was put and lost—Ayes 36—Nocs 62—Some amendments to the detail of the bill having been made, they were reported to, and concurred in by the house. The ayes and noes were demanded, on having the bill engrossed for a third reading. Ayes 65—Nocs 43.
The house resumed the consideration of the bill authorising the sale of arms to the individual states, to which some amendments were made in committee of the whole on a former day. An amendment was offered by Mr. Bibb of Georgia allowing to creditor states the right of receiving arms on account of the debts due them. In the course of debate Mr. Bibb called the attention of the house to the quarter whence the opposition to the amendment came. It was not he observed from those who represented the agricultural interests of the country but from those who represented the commercial interests—He farther stated that it was the conduct of the merchants which had put the country into a situation to require the militia to be armed and that they now refuse the means—Messrs. Ely and Bacon who had opposed the amendment, replied that they did represent the agricultural interests of the nation and Mr. B. added that he was the "representative of thirty thousand FREEMEN."
Tuesday, March 8.
Mr. Lewis presented the petition of praying that the benefit of the insolvent laws of the district of Columbia may be extended to non-residents who may be seized on execution within the district. Referred to the committee on the affairs of the district of Columbia.
Mr. J. Montgomery reported a bill supplementary to the act for laying out and making a road from Cumberland, in the state of Maryland, to the state of Ohio.
Mr. Van Horn called up the resolution laid by him on the table a few days since, for altering the constitution of the U. States. It was referred to a committee of the whole house on the state of the union, and ordered to be printed.
The bill concerning courts martial and courts of enquiry, was read a third time.
Mr. Bassett moved to recommit the bill, as it contained a power to drag witnesses from one extreme of the United States to another.
Mr. J. Montgomery opposed the recommitment. The principle was a correct one.—Every accused person ought to be confronted with his witnesses.
Mr. M. D. Williams was in favor of the recommitment. There were principles contained in the bill which he could not approve. Where was the necessity for giving to courts of enquiry the power of dragging witnesses before them, when the testimony which they gave, could not, by the existing regulations, be admitted as testimony before a court martial. He also considered that part of the bill which gave the power to compel the production of records, highly exceptionable. He could not consent to vote for the bill as it then stood. If gentlemen would agree to recommit it, he thought it might be rendered palatable to all.
Mr. Fisk could not discover the force of gentlemen's objections to the bill, or believe it was proper to recommit it. Depositions were the most fallacious kind of testimony, and ought not to be admitted on trials involving the lives or reputations of our soldiers. No danger could result from the grant of the power—it was amply guarded against by the provisions of the bill. He extended his ob-
servation in support of the bill to considerable length.
The recommitment was further supported by Messrs. Livermore and Mason, and opposed by Messrs. Bacon and J. Montgomery, when the bill was recommitted.
The bill providing for selling certain arms to the individual states, was read a third time. Its passage was opposed by Mr. Gardner, and supported by Messrs. Livermore, Bibb, Lyon, Nicholas and Smilie, when the question on its passage was taken by ayes and noes and carried—Ayes 86—Nocs 21.
The amendments made in the Senate to the bill in addition to the embargo acts were taken up, and concurred in.
The bill providing for obtaining an additional number of arms was returned from the Senate, with the following amendment:—"And for procuring Salt Petre and Sulphur, a sum not exceeding 150,000 dollars." The amendment was concurred in.
The bill remitting the duties on a monument to be erected to the memory of those officers who fell in the attack on Tripoli, was returned by the Senate with an amendment providing for the expences of erecting the monument in such place as the president should direct.
After a short discussion the question on concurring was taken by ayes and noes and lost—Ayes 18—Nocs 59.
Adjourned,
Wednesday, March 9.
Mr. Durell, from the committee appointed to enquire into the manner of heating the representative hall, and its probable effect on the health of the members, reported, that in the opinion of the committee, the present method of heating the hall is injurious to the health of the members. They recommend the introduction of a ventilator, or a suspension of the use of the furnaces. Ordered to lie on the table.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill respecting courts martial and courts of enquiry, Mr. Storer in the chair. A number of amendments were proposed, & some discussion took place. The bill was reported as amended, concurred in by the house, and ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Friday next.
Mr. Nelson, after some well conceived and well expressed preliminary observations, offered a resolution for appointing a committee to enquire into the expediency of repealing so much of the pension act as requires applicants to make affidavit that they are not on the pension list of any state, which was adopted.
TRANSLATED
From Paris papers to the 4th January received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
CONSTITUTION OF THE KINGDOM OF WESTPHALIA.
Napoleon, by the grace of God and the constitutions, emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the confederation of the Rhine, willing to give a prompt execution to the 19th article of the treaty of peace of Tilsit, and establish for the kingdom of Westphalia, fundamental constitutions, whereby the happiness of the people who compose it may be guaranteed, and which may at the same time insure to the sovereign the means of contributing as a member of the Rhenish confederation, to the common safety and prosperity; we have ordained and do ordain as follows:
Article 1. The kingdom of Westphalia is to comprehend the following states, viz. The states of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel; that part of Airmark, situate on the left bank of the Elbe; that part of the country of Magdeburg, situate on the left bank of the Elbe; the territory of Halle; the county of Hildesheim and the town of Goslar; the county of Hohenstein; the territory of Quedlingburg; the county of Mansfeld; Eichsfeld with Treffurth, Mulhausen and Nordhausen; the county of Sondershausen; the states of Hesse Cassel with Rinteln and Schaumburg, not including the territory Hanau and Cassel; the territory of Fulda; the territory of Corvey, Goettingen and Grubenhagen; the bishoprick of Osnabruck; the bishoprick of Paderborn; Minden and Ravensbers; and the county of Reuberg-Kanitz.
2. We reserve to ourselves the half of the allodial domains of the princes, to be appropriated to the rewards which we have promised to the officers of our armies who have rendered us the most service during the present war. The taking possession of which domains shall take place, without delay, by our intendants, and the process verbal drawn up, conjointly with the authorities of the country, before the 1st day of Dec.
3. The ordinary war contributions which have been laid on the said countries, shall be paid, on sureries given for their payment before the 1st day of December.
4. On the 1st day of December, the king
of Westphalia shall be put in possession by commissioners whom we shall appoint, for that purpose, of all the rights of sovereignty of his territory.
5. The kingdom of Westphalia shall be a part of the confederation of the Rhine, its contingent shall be 35,000 men in active service, viz. 20,000 infantry, 3,500 cavalry and 1,500 artillery. During the first years there shall only be in pay 10,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry and 500 artillery. The other 12,500 men shall be furnished by France, and garrisoned at Magdeburg. These 12,500 shall be paid, led and commanded by the king of Westphalia.
6. The kingdom of Westphalia shall be hereditary in the direct descent, natural, legitimate, of prince Jerome Napoleon, from male to male, by order of primogeniture, and to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants. In default of natural and legitimate descendants, the throne of the kingdom of Westphalia shall devolve to us, and to our heirs and our natural legitimate or adopted descendants. In default of these, to prince Joseph Napoleon, king of Naples and Sicily. In default of the latter, to the natural and legitimate descendants of prince Louis Napoleon, king of Holland. In default of the latter, to the natural and legitimate descendants of prince Joachim, grand duke of Berg and of Cleves.
7. The king of Westphalia and his family are subject, as far as concerns themselves, to the dispositions of the imperial family compact.
8. In case of minority, the regent of the kingdom shall be appointed by us or our successors as chief of the imperial family. He shall be chosen among the princes of the royal family. The minority of the king ends at the age of 18.
9. The king and the royal family have for their maintenance a separate revenue under the title of treasury of the crown, five millions of francs yearly income. The revenues of the royal forests and part of the domains are appropriated to the purpose. In case the revenues of the domains should prove insufficient, the surplus shall be paid in twelve equal parts at the end of each month, out of the public treasury.
10. The kingdom of Westphalia shall be governed according to the constitution, which consecrate equality in law to all subjects thereof, and the free exercise of worship.
11. The states, either general or provincial, of the countries of which the kingdom is composed, all political corporations of that kind, and all privileges of said corporations, cities and provinces, are suppressed.
12. All individual privileges are likewise suppressed, in as much as they are incompatible with the dispositions of the preceding article.
13. All feudal servitude, of what nature soever, and of whatever denomination may be, is suppressed, every inhabitant of the kingdom of Westphalia being entitled to an equality of rights.
14. The nobility shall continue to exist in various degrees and with its diverse qualifications, but without giving an exclusive right to any office, function or dignity; or exemption from any public duty.
15. The statutes of the abbeys, priories, noble chapters, are so modified, that every subject of the kingdom may be admitted therein.
16. The system of imposts shall be the same throughout the kingdom. The taxes on landed property shall not exceed one fifth of its income.
17. The system of the mint, and that of weights and measures, now adopted in France, shall be established throughout the kingdom.
18. The coin shall bear the arms of Westphalia and the effigy of the king.
19. The number of ministers shall be four, viz. one for justice and the interior, one for war, one for finances, commerce and treasury; and there shall be a minister secretary of state.
20. The ministers shall be responsible each in their own department, for the execution of the laws, and the mandates of the king.
21. The council of state shall be composed of at least sixteen members and of twenty five at most, appointed by the king and removable at pleasure. It shall be divided into three sections, viz. section of justice and interior, section of war, section of commerce and finance.
29. The states of the kingdom shall be composed of one hundred members, appointed by the colleges of departments, viz. selected by the colleges of departments, fifteen members chosen among freeholders, fifteen among merchants and manufacturers, fifteen among the learned and other citizens who shall have deserved well of the state. The members of the states shall receive a salary.
30. They shall be renewed by one third every three years. The members whose

has expired, may be re-elected again immediately.  31. The president of states is appointed by the king.  32. The states shall meet upon the convocation ordered by the king. They cannot be convoked, prorogued, adjourned or dissolved but by the king.  33. The territory shall be divided into departments, the departments into districts, and the districts into cantons, &c.  34. The departments shall be administered by a prefect.  45. The code Napoleon shall form the civil law of the kingdom of Westphalia, commencing the 1st Jan. 1808.  53. The conscription shall be a fundamental law of the kingdom of Westphalia. The enlisting for money on no account can take place.  54. The foregoing constitutions shall be completed by the regulations of the king discussed in the state council.  55. The laws and regulations of public administration shall be published in the bulletin of the laws, and no other form of publication shall be wanted to render them obligatory.  Given in our palace of Fontainebleau, the 15th day of the month of November in the year 1807.  (Signed) NAPOLEON.  By the emperor, The Minister Secretary of State, (Signed) HUGUES B. MARET.
In our translation of the above constitution we have omitted to notice such parts of it as relate merely to local regulations, uninteresting in the detail—such as the attributes of the state council, the interior organization of the courts of justice, the administration of the departments, &c. ]
NEW YORK, March 11.
We learn by the brig Hope, arrived last evening, that 20,000 French and Spanish troops were quartered in Lisbon; and that another French army of 10,000 men had entered Portugal. It is further stated, that there is no cordiality between the Portuguese and French—that when the French flag was hoisted the inhabitants revolted, and would have succeeded if they had had a brave commander. They were got under by superior force.
It is further stated (and it came from one of the French officers) that during the march of the French army into Portugal about 2000 of them died of starvation and fatigue, and that they subsisted two days upon acorns.

February 25, lat 29 20, long. 78 40, fell in with the brig Leander, Wilson, [dead] from Gambia for Charleston, with slaves. The captain had died on the coast of Africa, could get no information about the mate, but the command devolved on a Mr. Porter, the boatswain, when the Leander was captured by the British and sent into Dominique and the slaves liberated—about two-thirds left the vessel—Porter and the crew re-took the vessel and left the harbor unperceived in the night with the remaining slaves who rose and took command of the vessel. Porter and four men jumped overboard, and the remainder were put to death. Such was the situation of the brig when spoken by the Mary and Eliza. The slaves offered up the command of the vessel, but insisted to retain their fire arms, and being extremely short of provisions, it was judged prudent to leave the brig to her fate. One of the blacks who had been in the confidence of the captain, who spoke a little broken English, and who had received several wounds from the slaves in their massacre of the crew, arrived at Baltimore in the Mary & Eliza.

Extract from a letter from a merchant of the first respectability at St. Pierres, (Mart.) dated 15th Feb.
"There has been a patent law established in this island: first class merchants are to pay five hundred dollars per annum; in this class are included all foreigners entitled to a patent; this cannot be obtained by a foreigner until he has resided two years in the island. There are but two Americans in this place besides myself that are entitled to a patent: no foreigner without a patent is allowed to do any business: no captain or supercargo can enter or clear his vessel, and if vessels are not consigned, the business must fall into the hands of a broker, of which there are four established by government."

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent Family Medicines, prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years has been acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment, which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury of any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 15 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.) Dr. Tiffol's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten: whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health.
Although a great variety of preparations have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose wonderful benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of general consequence in the state of Maryland: Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Calvert Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calvert.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was miserably attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as to be unable to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold, on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore inclined with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially it was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now covering his strength with great rapidity.
TH. CAMPBELL.
Baltimore, July 23, 1806.
AT a general assembly of the state of Connecticut, held at New-Haven, on the second Thursday of October, A. D. 1807.—Upon the petition of Simon Loomis, of East Windsor, in Hartford county, showing to this assembly that by means of various noise for ones he is reduced to poverty, praying for an act of insolvency; and that some of his creditors are resident in the states of New-York, Virginia and Georgia, as per memorial on file dated the 21st day of September, A. D. 1807.—
Resolved by this assembly, That said petition be continued to the session of this assembly to be held in Hartford, in May next, and that notice of the pendency thereof be advertised in some of the newspapers published in the city of New-York, Alexandria in Virginia, and Savannah in Georgia, three weeks at least six weeks before said session; which shall be good and sufficient notice to the creditors in the said states of the pendency of said petition.
