WASHINGTON CITY.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
[Debate Continued.]
Tuesday, December 9.
It will be recollected by the reader, that the original motion made was by Mr. Hill...
Mr. Christie moved the reference of the report to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Griswold opposed the reference.
The House divided; for the reference 43; against it 46.
Mr. Jackson made several remarks, which he heard so indistinctly, that justice to him forbids the attempt to report them.
Mr. Nicholas. In a government like ours, the theory of which is republican, and the practice of which, he hoped would always continue to be republican...
It was of little consequence to them to know what laws are enacted compared with a knowledge of projects that were attempted or prevented...
Under this view of the subject, he thought it extremely indelicate to resist the admission within the bar of those persons who thought themselves qualified to take the debates and proceedings of the house.
It was not without deliberation that the practice of the house had been instituted and adhered to. Some gentlemen had some time since contemplated the employment of a particular individual...
The difficulty attending the business he acknowledged to be great. But for the reasons he had assigned, he thought the house had acted right in forbidding to interfere, further than by merely assigning a convenient place to the stenographers.
Shall we now, said Mr. Nicholas, after this mature consideration, on the mere suggestion of personal inconvenience, on a subject of such importance...
He had heard but two objections made to the old plan. The first was, that by passing a resolve, admitting the stenographers within the bar...
As to the first objection he thought it altogether incorrect. The resolution, submitted by the gentleman from North Carolina, (Mr. Hill) which he wished the house to adopt...
Indeed by admitting the stenographers within the bar, the responsibility of the house would be diminished; for if the house admitted them, no one could then say that it had done anything that interfered with a faithful report of the debates...
The second objection made to the resolution of the gentleman from North Carolina, was that as the speaker had heretofore had the management of the business, it would be wrong to take it out of his hands.
Mr. Nicholas in reply to this objection, observed that the power heretofore exercised by the speaker on this subject, had not been expressly delegated by him to the house.
Mr. Otis was one of those who was not disposed to make a strong stand against the resolution offered by the gentleman from North Carolina.
It is true that the stenographers have hitherto been admitted within the bar. They were admitted because there was room. But in our present chamber the room was less; nor could they occupy a part of that little without materially interfering with the convenience of the members.
In his opinion the proper question for the house to consider was, whether an admission should take place independent of the speaker or whether he should decide its propriety.
M. O. is thought the remarks of the gentlemen from Virginia covered too much ground. They ascribed to the friends of the report an attempt to preclude the people from obtaining all information of what passed in this house.
sometimes they had been accurate, and at other times terribly inaccurate; and so complete, had the distortion of sentiments often been that it had not been for the name that was attached to a particular speech...
The charge of innovation, Mr. Otis thought unjust. He proposed to leave the business as it had heretofore been left, free from any resolve of the house, to the control of the Speaker.
If it were resolved that the house should interfere, he would much rather select and pay an individual, competent to the business, and appeal for the faithful discharge of his trust...
If the house passed the resolution admitting the stenographers within the bar, Mr. Otis asked whether they would not in fact be officers of the house.
Mr. Otis said that, in his opinion, the most inconvenient position in the house had been taken by the stenographers. It was near the clerk's office, between which and the bar there was a perpetual passage of the members.
Mr. Otis concluded by stating the extreme inconvenience that would arise from admitting the stenographers, the interference it would produce with the assignment of seats to the Secretaries of our Government...
Mr. Nicholson said, that if he understood the objection made by the gentleman from Massachusetts to granting an admission of the stenographers within the bar, they might be all classed under three heads.
1. It would be against precedent. 2. It would prevent the members from having elbow room. 3. There is a possibility that the Speaker may indulge the stenographers.
As to the first objection he would ask whether the house had not a right to exercise any power themselves that was exercised by the Speaker.
But, we are told that the admission would interfere, with the accommodation of the four Secretaries and the foreign ministers.
He considered the subject as of high importance both to the country, and the members themselves. They all ought to desire their conduct to be rigidly inspected.
Gentlemen say that the debates have been hitherto imperfectly taken. Will they remedy the evil by excluding the stenographers from places within the bar?
As to the convenience of the galleries for hearing, Mr. Nicholson was not able from a trial made by himself to decide upon it.
gallery was not constructed by us, and if it were a bad place for hearing, it arose not from any fault to be ascribed to us.
The personal inconvenience to members alleged, did not in the opinion of Mr. Nicholson exist. He thought there was ample room.
Mr. Rutledge said that the members, who had preceded him, had talked much about the necessity of giving the people correct information of the transactions of that House.
Such a mode of procedure as had been pursued on this occasion was not conformable to that heretofore practiced.
Now, said Mr. Rutledge, if any other stenographer, like the one I have alluded to, shall make it his systematic practice to misrepresent, and he continue, as heretofore, to hold his place at the tenure of the Speaker's permission...
Mr. Hill next spoke for several minutes, what he said was not heard, further than that he declared he considered the subject as simply involving an address to the sentiments of the members on the ground of personal convenience...
Mr. Crispwold's introductory remarks were not heard. Having raised his voice, his first words, as heard, were, "This is nothing less than an appeal from the chair."
In his opinion the power, confided to the Speaker, had been exercised in this case with great propriety. It must be apparent to every body that the area was too small to justify the admission of the stenographers.
Mr. Thatcher, persuaded that all the information derived from the debates of this house, was of little comparative importance when viewed in relation to the general mass of information possessed by the people...
When the seat of government was transferred to Philadelphia, and the stenographers occupied places within the bar complaints increased, the debates were taken more incorrectly...
plaints increased, the debates were taken more incorrectly, and two or three of the stenographers were actually turned out of the area within the bar; one of whom, he believed was sent into the upper gallery.
The incorrectness of the published debates did not arise so much from an inability to hear, as from an inability to take down a rapid speech.
Mr. Thatcher said he believed the debates as taken down by Mr. Lloyd, were as accurately taken, as any taken before or since.
Mr. Davis had expected to hear substantial reasons in support of the report of the committee. None such had been offered.
He trusted the house would admit the stenographers within the bar. If not admitted, the conversation and passage of the members around them, will at once prevent the debates from being well taken...
The grate mass of our citizens are to remove to attend our debates. They rely on those who report them. Not more than forty or fifty persons transiently appear in the galleries, who are not equal to diffusing a knowledge of your proceedings.
The gentlemen from S. Carolina was willing to place the stenographers under the coercion of the Speaker, but was averse to placing them under the coercion of the house.
Several allusions had been made to the treatment of a reporter at Philadelphia, who had been driven from the house by the speaker.
By this Day's Mail
WASHINGTON CITY, December 12. A letter has been received from a gentleman at Columbia, who had been informed by one of the Electors of South Carolina, that Thomas Jefferson would have eight votes, and Aaron Burr seven.
The Electors of North Carolina have voted as follows: For Thomas Jefferson 8, Aaron Burr 3, John Adams 4, C. C. Pinckney 4.
On Thursday last, the Legislature of Maryland proceeded to choose a Senator of the United States in the room of Mr. Lloyd resigned. The votes were For Mr. William Hindman 49, Mr. Earle 40.
Accounts from Tennessee, that may be depended on, state that General Daniel Smith, is chosen the third Elector for that State. The election of General Smith completes the number of electors for Tennessee, and reduces it to a certainty that Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Burr will have all the votes of that State.
Charles Scott, John Coburn, Isaac Shelby and John Pope, are chosen Electors for Kentucky. They are decidedly Democrats.
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1800.
The House went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Edmond in the chair, on the Bill for erecting a Mausoleum to the memory of George Washington.
Mr. Chipman, after some remarks, the indistinct hearing of which did not enable us to determine on which side of the question he argued, moved that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again.
Mr. Champlin then moved the recommittal of the bill to the same committee that reported it, with the addition of two members, which was carried, and Messrs. Claiborne and Champlin appointed.
After Mr. Champlin's motion for a recommittal of the Bill to a select committee was carried.
Mr. Claiborne said, he had risen to move that the committee just appointed be instructed to enquire into the expediency of carrying into effect a resolution passed by the old Congress, on the 7th of August 1788, "Directing an equestrian statue of general Washington, to be erected at the place where the residence of Congress shall be established."
Mr. Claiborne said, that on a question which could not fail to excite the sensibility of every American heart, it was a subject of great regret, that a division of sentiment should arise. The memory of our departed patriot lives in the affections of a grateful

country, and will triumph over time. During a long life, so useful and honourably employed, Washington had reared to himself a fabric of fame, the lustre of which can neither be diminished or heightened by any measure that we can take. But, Sir, from a respect for our own, as well as for the feelings of the nation, we should endeavour to unite in the last act of attention, which we propose to show this venerable character.
Mr. C. said, that the proposition for a mausoleum was calculated to create a division. The expense of such a monument would be immense, and would be viewed by many, as a profuse and unseemly expenditure of the public money. He believed that the statue, recommended by the old Congress, could be better justified upon principles of economy, and would meet with more general support. Here Mr. C. read from the journals of the old Congress the following resolutions:
"Resolved, (unanimously, ten states being present,) That an equestrian statue of General Washington be erected at the place where the residence of Congress shall be established.
"Resolved, That the statue be of bronze. The General to be represented in a Roman dress, holding a truncheon in his right hand, and his head encircled with a laurel wreath. The statue to be supported by a marble pedestal, on which are to be represented in basso relievo, the following principal events of the war, in which general Washington commanded in person, viz. The evacuation of Boston—the capture of the Hessians at Trenton—the battle of Princeton—the action of Monmouth—and the surrender of York. On the upper part of the front of the pedestal, to be engraved as follows. The U. States in Congress assembled, ordered this statue to be erected in the year of our Lord 1783 in honor of George Washington, the illustrious commander in chief of the armies of the United States of America, during the war, which vindicated and secured their liberty, sovereignty and independence."
There was no doubt, said Mr. Claiborne, but that many Gentlemen were also solicitous, that the body of General Washington should be deposited within the walls of the Capitol; of this number, Mr. Claiborne was one, and was desirous that a plain but neat Apartment should be speedily prepared for its reception:—But over his Remains, instead of an expensive monument, Mr. Claiborne thought it most advisable to place a plain but neat Tomb-stone of American Marble, and prepared by an American Artist. And in order to convey to Posterity, in impressive language, the feelings of the American Nation, when the loss of our Patriot, Sage, and Hero, was first announced, Mr. Claiborne wished to see engraved upon the Tomb, the Addresses of each House of Congress, on this occasion, to the President of the United States, together with the President's replies thereto.
Mr. Claiborne, after some remarks concluded, by moving the instructions, stated in the commencement of his Speech.
Mr. C. was followed by Messrs Craik and Nott.
The instruction to the committee, moved by Mr. Claiborne, with a slight modification, was agreed to.
Thursday, Dec. 11. A Letter was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, accompanied by a statement of appropriations necessary for the year 1800, and a statement of the receipt and expenditures preceding the first day of October 1800.
Referred to the Committee of Ways and Means, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. New called up the resolution laid by him yesterday on the table, which was read as follows:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in the several acts "Laying duties on spirits distilled within the United States, and on bills," and that they be authorised to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. New observed, that his object in making the motion was, to have the law so amended, as to allow the proprietors of stills to use them when they pleased, and have the option of paying by the gallon, or on the capacity of the still.
Agreed to and referred to the committee of Ways and Means.

Davie and Judge Elsworth, two of our Envoys from France. Mr. Elsworth set off from Norfolk on Sunday the 6th inst. for the city of Washington, with the dispatches for Government.
In the Norfolk papers before us, we find several articles from French papers to the 13th of Oct. received from the hands of Mr. Davie, which we shall give tomorrow.
DREADFUL FIRE! Last evening a fire broke out in the store belonging to Messrs. Saltus, Son & Co. in Front street, between Court and Old-App.
and progressed with the wind in the most alarming manner as far as the store of Mr. Thomas Farmer—having destroyed the six buildings occupied by Saltus, Son & Co. Suydam & Heye, John Peters, Henry Suydam, John Miller, cooper, Thomas Pryer, tail-maker, Samuel Burrow, tail-maker, and John Patrick. The above were nearly all large wooden stores, with valuable contents. We participate most feelingly with the honest and respectable sufferers. The stores of Mr. Farmer and John H. Martin were miraculously saved though their lots must have been great, from the precipitate removal of their goods. The vessels at the adjoining wharves were removed without sustaining much injury. The whole amount of the loss may be estimated at 100,000 Dollars.
The Storm and Gale. On Friday night last, we experienced a most tremendous storm from the S. E. and S. W. which done very considerable damage to the vessels in port—Hardly one escaped without injury—several dragged their anchors and went foul of others—some went on shore—and eleven sloops and small schooners sunk at the wharves, some of which were deeply laden with grain, brick, &c. We made an attempt to get a list of all the vessels injured, but found it impracticable. None, however, will be totally lost.
By the Rebecca, captain Stanwood, arrived yesterday from Jamaica.
FALMOUTH, November 5. On Saturday came on a heavy gale of wind from the N. E. attended with immense torrents of rain, which continued with very little intermission, until Monday morning; on Sunday the wind shifted to the westward with increased violence, and threw the most dreadful swell into Montego Bay that has been seen for many years.
The Kingston post was not arrived when this paper was put to press; at which time we received the disingenuous intelligence, that all the vessels lying at Montego Bay numbering six sail of brigs, sloops and ships, were lost in the storm on Sunday—the vessels lying in the outer bay, as well as those in the close harbour, all shared the same fate. Happily, no lives were lost.
By travellers we are informed, the late storm has been general on the north side; that the cans and plantain walks in the parishes of St. Ann's and St. Mary's have suffered very much; in many places large trees have been torn up by the roots; in the lower part of St. Ann's it blew a perfect hurricane all Sunday; and we much fear, that upon the arrival of the post, we shall hear of further mischief occasioned by this melancholy event.
A Spanish schooner with 60,000 dollars on board, from the Havana bound to New Providence, detained by his majesty's ship Sans Pareil, arrived on Monday evening.

The late hour at which we receive the Southern Mail, compels us to make short extracts of the proceedings of Congress. The debates in detail we have to defer for want of time and room.
A letter received in town this morning, dated New-York, the 15th instant, announces the capture of the ship Dominick Terry, Fleming, of and for this port, from Batavia. She was taken by a French privateer and sent to Guadalupe—A sailor belonging to her is at New-York.
Brig Amelia, Callender, from hence to Leghorn, is captured by the French and sent to Algiers.
From recent information, it appears highly probable that Mr. Jefferson will be the President of the United States for the four ensuing years, commencing on the fourth day of March next. This circumstance, so much regretted by the Editor of this Gazette, and all real Americans, may be attributed to one of two things accident or design, on the part of certain Gentlemen, whose non-attendance at the post of duty, at the important hour, will be remembered, and we trust amply rewarded by their constituents, at the next election, and it is hoped those "other causes," which prevented their attendance, will be traced, and the people be made acquainted with the real cause of that absence which will place in the Executive Chair, the Man whom Americans did not desire.
[The writer of the following, is an American, who was at Curacoa during the greater part of the late Proceedings.]
MR. WAYNE, IN your paper of Saturday, I was much pleased with your giving a sketch of the ungrateful conduct of the English commanders at the island of Curacoa. At the same time, perceiving that you were not perfectly acquainted with all the circumstances attending the recapitulation of the island to the British, and looking as every American should, the gross injustice on the part of the English, I have considered it as the duty of every American who was present, to state the facts as they occurred.
Early in the morning of the 20th of September, the United States ships Merrimack and Patapsco, arrived off the island of Curacoa. At the same time the British frigate Nereide, captain Watkins, was off the harbour of Amsterdam, preventing all vessels from going in or coming out of it. Mr. Phillips (the American Consul) and his family, some time previous, had went on board the Nereide as a place of safety. The French, at the time the American ships appeared off the island, had possession of one half the town and the greater part of the island. The poor Dutch were so terrified that they had left their estates in the country, and fled to that part of the city called Amsterdam. The arrival of the American ships, stimulated the French to hasten their operations; they accordingly marched a large body of their troops within two miles of the principal fort (Republic) which commands all the town and harbour, with the intention of attacking it by storm. The French soldiers had goat skins prepared to fasten to their knees, to assist in climbing the rocks, also their horses' hoofs bound with skins to prevent their approach being heard. Every thing was now in readiness for an assault. The Dutch fort had about 120 men in all, and it was generally believed that several of the officers, and great part of the men were in the French interest. The number of the French sent on this expedition was supposed to be 6 or 8 hundred—another body of French, was to have attacked, at the same time, the city of Amsterdam, by crossing the harbour, which is from about 100 to 200 yards wide, on rafts of boats.
The crisis had now arrived—the French officers were confident of success—spoke openly to the American Gentlemen, who were prisoners, of the strength of their party among the Dutch. At this critical juncture, the Dutch Governor, having lost confidence
in his troops, and knowing that if assistance was not immediately procured that the island would unavoidably be in possession of the French in 24 hours, he sent off to the British Captain, informing him of all particulars, and the dangerous situation of the island. The English Commander being now confident that something more than merely preventing the intercourse with the harbour must be effected, or all the plans would be defeated, immediately sent a final order, express to the Patapsco (who was at this time at the east end of the island) to speak her; his request was immediately complied with by the commander of the Patapsco. Accordingly in the course of one hour or more, it was agreed between the American and British commanders, that some other steps, than simply laying off the harbour, was necessary for the preservation of the island. It may be here proper to mention the fate of the British frigate to which the honour and emoluments of the capture of Curacoa are likely to accrue. The Nereide is rated at 40 guns, accordingly should have between three and four hundred men on board; instead of which, her complement was reduced by sickness and other causes, to 100 or 120 men, a number but barely sufficient to work the ship; the number of the officers was reduced to one lieutenant, a failing master, marine officer, surgeon, and three or four midshipmen, two of whom were too small to afford much service. Any person who has a knowledge of a ship, may now form an idea of what assistance a vessel, under these circumstances, could afford to a city and forts about to be attacked by fifteen hundred men, which was the number of the French exclusive of the negroes who joined them. All the assistance therefore the English could or did give, previous to the Patapsco entering the harbour of Amsterdam, was by sending from the Nereide one lieutenant and five men, who took possession of what they called a battery, which consisted of one brass eighteen pound cannon. This paltry succour, as may be supposed, was not the slightest impediment to the operations of the French. After the meeting of the commanders, it was concluded as absolutely necessary for one of the ships of war to enter the harbour to act as a floating battery to prevent the French from attacking Amsterdam; to this service the Patapsco was destined. She accordingly entered the harbour on the evening of the 22d Sept. The French immediately commenced a heavy fire from their battery on the west side of the town from several field pieces charged with musket balls, which were placed on a wharf within fifty yards of where the ship had to pass. They also commenced a heavy fire of musketry from the roofs and windows of the houses. The number of musketry was not known, but from the quickness of the fire, there must have been several hundreds. The fire from the ship dismounted two of the field pieces, and compelled the French to abandon that part of the town fronting the harbour. The French now expected that the other two ships of war in the offing, meditated an attack on their vessels. The troops which were intended to storm Fort Republic, were immediately recalled to the defence of the expected attack of their shipping. They were also impressed with an idea of the American ships having troops on board; and that strength their opinion was that the landing in the morning, from the Patapsco, an officer with 50 of the crew, to take possession of one of the forts in which was the principal part of the military stores. In consequence of this disembarkation of the American crew, they despaired of ever taking the island, and immediately prepared for securing the plunder on board their vessels, and a departure. They accordingly abandoned the island unperceived by the other ships.
The landing of the American crew I consider as one of the strongest proofs of the critical situation of the island. It was done by the request of the Dutch Governor, who had not sufficient confidence in his troops to trust them with the magazines in this fort which the Americans had possession of, and in which was deposited the powder. On the 24th, the British colours were hoisted at the forts, and at the same time the English frigate entered the harbour, and took possession of the island. I hope, Sir, by this time you will be able to form an idea whether the American ship was not the cause of the French leaving the island, and the sole cause of the British getting possession. I find by your paper of Saturday, that the English have made the moderate demand of 25 per cent. on the American property at Curacoa, when this American property was saved at the risk of the lives of the officers and crew of the American ship of war. I, however, flatter myself that our Government will duly notice this act on the part of the British, in return for the important services rendered to them by the Americans. N. B. When due time will permit, you may expect to hear from me something more on this subject.
Bonaparte is thus described by a late political writer.
"A foreigner, a Corsican, a military adventurer, the husband of Barras's mistress, is superior to Louis XIV. in the plenitude of his power he is the Lord of the Republic, one and individual: the sovereign of the foreigner people, and of the great nation, with her four and twenty millions of native inhabitants!"
The French are about to raise by subscription a splendid monument to their famous actor PREVILLE, whom they call the Rofcius of the French stage. It is to be in the Cemetery of Beauvais, where Preville is buried. They expect contributions from all the actors in Europe.
A late London Paper says—Paper-makers must make hay while the sun shines. The paper which they tell 27s. a ream, costs 7s. a Paris. At a peace, there must be high duties to protect their trade.
THE NORWEGIAN. WHEN a useful twilight dims the polar noon, And rays, reflected from the morning glow, Against the rising of the winter moon, The cold Norwegian from involving snow. Close his frail bark; and when the fit faint ray Shines on the billow's ice-encumbered foam, Fearless he launches on his trackless way, And on the stormy ocean hails his home! When o'er his head, upon the milky height, The harsh sea eagle rears her airy nest, And cheers with clamours rude the boreal night, No thrilling raptures swell his simple breast. From all the glories rushing on his eye— The awful sweep of waves and star-encircled sky!
