Mr. Thomas.—Some days since, a letter, was read from the President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives of New-York, covering sundry resolutions of the legislature of that state, on the subject of fortifying the port and harbour of New-York, which were ordered to be printed for the use of the members. I now move, that the letter and resolutions be referred to the committee appointed on that part of the President's message relating "to the aggression of foreign vessels within our ports, and to any violation of our jurisdiction, and to the protection of our ports and harbours."— Carried.
November 3.
The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Gen. Eaton, covering a translation of a memorial from the Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, dated 18th February, 1807, stating his losses and sufferings in the American cause, and applying for compensation; also a communication from said William Eaton, on the justice of his claims, which was referred to a select committee of seven.
A number of resolutions, instructing the committee on Post-Offices and Post-Roads, to enquire into the expediency of establishing certain Post-Routes, were offered and adopted.
November 4.
Mr. Lewis.—As the House was not then particularly engaged, would take the liberty to call up a subject of some importance to the public at large, and particularly so to a portion of that district which he had the honour immediately to represent. Four years ago a number of petitions were presented to this House, praying for leave to erect a Bridge across the Potomak, in the District of Columbia. These petitions had been acted on, and at the last session a bill had passed this House in conformity with their prayer; but for reasons which it was now unnecessary, and which it would be perhaps improper to state, it had been postponed in the other branch. In order to bring the subject once more before the House, he now moved that all the petitions and documents, both for and against the erection of such a Bridge, be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Thomas supposed that all the petitions and documents were transmitted to the other House with the bill.
Mr. Dewis had no knowledge of the fact, if it was so. He had last year bro't the subject before the House on precisely a similar motion.
Mr. Ely had no doubt but the petitions still remained on the files of this House. The bill had originated here, and he knew of no order for transmitting them to the other House. The bill alone was sent to the Senate, and the petitions must remain on file in the Clerk's office.
Some doubts being entertained whether the motion of Mr. Lewis, this being a new Congress, was strictly in order.
Mr. Blackledge advised the gentleman to withdraw his motion, until he could get possession of the petitions, when he could come regularly before the House.
Mr. Lewis said he would withdraw his motion for the present. He immediately retired from the House, and in a few minutes returned with a large bundle of papers in his hand. As soon as he had gained his place, he said—
I now move you, Mr. Speaker, that the petitions and documents, which I now hold in my hand, for and against the erection of a Bridge across the Potomak, in the District of Columbia, be referred to a select committee; and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Carried , and referred to a committee of five.
A number of petitions were offered, received, and referred to proper com-
mittee.—And the House then adjourned till to-morrow, 11 o'clock.
IN SENATE, October 28.
Mr. Mitchill submitted the following motion, for consideration.
Resolved , That the part of the President's message, which relates to the defence of our sea-port towns and harbors, and the further provisions to be made for their security, be referred to a select committee, with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. White submitted the following motion for consideration.
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of extinguishing the claims of the United States, to certain balances reported to be due from several of the states, to the United States, by the commissioners appointed to settle the accounts of the individual states with the United States, and that the said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
November 2.
On motion by Mr. Milledge.
Resolved , That the members of the Senate, from a sincere desire of shewing every mark of respect due to the memory of the honorable Abraham Baldwin, deceased, late a member thereof, will go into mourning for him one month, by the usual mode of wearing a crape round the left arm.
On motion by Mr. Hillhouse, a similar resolution was passed in relation to Mr. Tracy.
The following motion, made by Mr. Adams, was agreed to and referred to Messrs. Adams, Smith of Maryland, Milledge, Mitchill and Anderson.
"That so much of the President's message, as relates to the recent outrages committed by British armed vessels, within the jurisdiction, and in the waters of the United States, and to the legislative provisions which may be expedient as resulting from them, be referred to a select committee, with leave to report by bill or otherwise."
The following motion, also made by Mr. Adams, was agreed to, and referred to Messrs. Smith of Maryland, Bradley, and Sumter.
"That so much of the said message, as relates to the formation of the seamen of the United States into a special militia, for the purpose of occasional defence of the harbors against sudden attacks, be referred to a select committee, with leave to report by bill or otherwise."
November 3.
Mr. Tiffin offered the following resolution:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following section be submitted to the legislatures of the several states, which when ratified and confirmed by the legislatures of three fourths of the said states, shall be valid and binding as a part of the Constitution of the United States in lieu of the first section of the third article thereof.
The judicial power of the U. States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges both of the Supreme and Inferior Courts shall hold their offices for years, shall be removed by the President, on the address of two thirds of both Houses of Congress requesting the same, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
Which was ordered to lie for consideration.
Mr. Mitchell offered the following resolution:
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any and what alterations are necessary to be made in the laws respecting insurrections and violations of the public peace and authority, as well as the laws respecting the conspiracy or enterprize of private individuals against foreign nations in amity with the United States, with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Which was ordered to lie for consideration.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 29.
Orders have been sent to the British squadron in the West-Indies, for the immediate capture of Santa Cruz & St. Thomas.
BOSTON, Nov. 2.
The Aristides, Capt. Williams, has this moment arrived from Liverpool, in 44 days. Her latest London dates, which are to the 14th September, an-
nounce the following intelligence:
"That the points in controversy, between the United States and Great Britain, had been discussed by the respective ministers; and that such an amicable adjustment of them had taken place, as to warrant a notice, from both parties, "That peace and friendship might be considered as being again restored between the two countries."
Copenhagen had not surrendered to the English on the 4th Sept. although the City was completely invested, and all communication with its inhabitants cut off. At this date, the bombardment was going on; and the suburbs on fire in three or four places.
The Revenge Cutter was expected to leave England, with dispatches, about the 20th of September.
From a London paper of Sept. 9.
"We are assured that the dispatches, recently received by Mr. Munroe, were of a very conciliatory tendency—and that the tone and spirit in which they were conceived, have already had the happiest effect. It is stated on good authority, that all differences relative to the search for seamen are already adjusted, and that a negotiation has commenced for the purpose of concluding a treaty of commerce equally favourable to the trade and navigation of England, and to the true interests of the Americans."
"We are glad to find that the rumor of the U. S. having given our government only four days to decide upon our answer to the dispatches brought by the Revenge schooner is wholly unfounded. We did not indeed attach any credit to it. The differences between the two countries are to be, as they ought to be, deliberately discussed. The U. S. are said to be willing to allow the search for goods under certain circumstances, but not to allow any vessel bearing their flag to be searched for men. But in order to identify British and American seamen, they propose that agents shall be stationed in every commercial port in each country, before whom all complaints shall be heard and decided, and every seaman given up to that nation to which he is found to belong."
A force, it is said, is to be immediately dispatched from this country to take possession of Madeira. It is to consist, we understand of 3000 men, to be commanded by gen. Beresford.
The 3d, 25th, 34th, 82d and 21st regiments are mentioned as being intended for this service.
The expedition, it is believed, has been resolved on in consequence of intelligence received by government of the hostile designs of France and Spain against Portugal and her possessions.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.
A Standard was presented on Saturday the 10th ult. by Miss Mary Chase, (daughter of the Hon. S. Chase) to the the troop of "First Baltimore Hussars," commanded by captain William B. Barney, in the presence of a large and brilliant assemblage of spectators. The troop having been drawn up, in full uniform, before the house of the judge, Miss Chase appeared in a dress of white satin, decorated in the Hussar style, wearing an elegant military cap, embroidered in gold, with nodding plumes: captain Barney advanced towards her, and saluted; when, holding the colours in her hand, she addressed him in these words:
SIR—Permit me to present you with a Standard for the Troop you have the honour to command. Admiring the patriot ardour displayed by the First Baltimore Hussars, I derive a high pleasure from the anticipation, that a Banner, worked by my hand, will ever proudly wave where honour points and duty leads the way. Should a war, which Heaven avert, prove the only resource of our country against foreign aggression, when the trumpet sounds, may the Angel of victory hover over the gallant defenders of our rights, and their achievements in the field of fame, be crowned with a glorious and lasting peace!
To which captain Barney replied: MADAM—As commander of the "First Baltimore Hussars," I receive with the highest sense of patriotic gratitude the very elegant Standard, you have honoured them in presenting.
In the event of a war, were any other incentive than duty necessary to their exertions in defence of their insulted country, this proof of your approbation, would of itself, be a sufficient stimulus to animate their hearts with courage, and nerve their arms with strength. Be assured, that in time of danger it will ever prove their rallying point; with it they

will conquer, or around it nobly perish.
Accept, Madam, the salutation of the Troop.
Captain Barney saluted again, upon receiving the standard, and delivered it to cornet M'Kim. The troop then paraded twice before the porch, where Miss Chase stood; the officers saluting as they passed.
The colours are richly worked in gold, on a white lustrous ground, relieved with a serpentine border of crimson velvet, and ornamented with gold fringe and tassels. The beauty of design, and execution displayed in the performance, evinces at once the taste, ingenuity and patriotism, of the fair artist. One side of the flag discovers an eye, from which as their centre, rays emblematical of the divinity; motto "non alius regnat" "Jehovah is our king." On the reverse is exhibited, an elegant gold cypher of the United States, encircled by seventeen stars—"Motto," "Unita virtus fortior." "Virtue united is invincible." Each corner of the flag represents a grenade or bomb on fire.
The colors are attached to a golden arrow and suspended from the staff in the Roman style; the whole surmounted by the American Eagle, with expanded wings, grasping in its talons a silver globe, representing the world. The eagle wears a breast plate, on which, by order of the troop, the following inscription has been engraved.
"Presented by Miss Mary Chase," Anno 1807.
"May this manifestation of female patriotism never be forgotten, while amor patriæ shall be esteemed a virtue."
GEORGE-TOWN, November 7. The following extract of a letter requires no comment. He whose blood does not boil with indignation on the bare perusal of such conduct, and who does not deplore that such lawless scenes should disgrace our country, must be too far bewildered in the mazes of folly, or sunk too deep in wickedness, to be reclaimed by any thing we could say on the subject.
Extract of a letter, addressed to the editor, dated Baltimore, November 4, 1807.
"Yesterday effigies of the Chief Justice, Burr, Blannerhasset, and Luther Martin were prepared at the point—placed in carts—attended by a considerable mob, paraded through the Streets of town, and afterwards taken to a place called Gallows Hill, where they were hanged and burnt. It is unnecessary to say that this scandalous proceeding is condemned by good citizens of all parties, and that none were concerned in it, who had any reputation to lose.
"An invitation had been given in the Whig to tar and feather Luther Martin. With a view to prevent this, and preserve good order, Capt. Barney and Hollingsworth's troop were ordered out, Owing, perhaps, to this precaution, no violence was offered to any of the citizens.
"From the account given in the Whig of this transaction, strangers might be led to suppose that the citizens generally turned out, and that the proceeding was popular. Nothing can be more false. Joel M. Munson, who is said to be concerned in the Whig establishment, was in the procession."
Baltimore, November 4, 1807. MR. HEWES.
Through the channel of your paper permit me to express to the mayor and to the other civil authorities, as also to the military, particularly Capt. Wm. Barney and the First Baltimore Hussars, and Capt. Samuel Hollingsworth, and the First Baltimore troop of Horse, my approbation, for their exertions last evening to preserve the persons and property of myself and others from lawless violence. But to those worthy friends of mine, who filled my drawing room, armed with every necessary weapon to repel such violence, if attempted, no language can sufficiently express my gratitude, and while I live, they may command my every service. The endearing proof they have given me of their friendship and zeal is, as to myself, infinitely more than a compensation for any indignity meant to be shown to me by the deceived, deluded individuals, who planned and executed the outrage. But to those of my fellow-citizens who are really anxious for the prosperity of this city, I would make a request, that they will seriously consider of the consequences of such conduct, and how deeply such conduct wounds its best interest. What person would wish to transfer his person, or his capital to a place where life, liberty and property are to be held at the will of
an infuriated mob! The cities of Philadelphia and New-York, who view with jealousy your rival greatness, will rejoice at your folly; and to the citizens of Annapolis, no act could have been more grateful. How often have they said, that if the seat of Government should be removed to Baltimore, the legislature and the courts of justice would be overawed or insulted by the mob of the city!
To the misguided promoters of the late proceedings, I would also give one admonition. If they are in reality what they profess to be, the friends of republican institutions, they are taking the most effectual method to bring such institutions into contempt and detestation.
I have only to add, that as no actual injury was done to persons or property, I rejoice that not a drop of blood has been shed. It would have rendered me unhappy indeed had a single individual lost his life, while he confined himself to the amusement of attending my effigy to the funeral pile.
LUTHER MARTIN.
VERMONT LEGISLATURE. October 9.
Mr. Bradley introduced the following resolution, which was referred to Messrs. Bradley, Chase and T. Hutchinson.
Resolved, That the Senators in Congress from this state, be instructed, and the Representatives therefrom requested to use their exertions to procure an amendment of the Constitution of the United States, in such a manner as will empower the President of the United States to remove any of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, upon address made to him for that purpose by a majority of the house of Representatives, and two thirds of the Senate, in Congress assembled.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Laiden's District, S. C. to his friend in Fayetteville, N. C.
Speaking of the late outrage committed on our flag by the Leopards, he says—"The people in this part of the state, during the revolution, were by a large majority in favour of the old government, in consequence of which the most scrupulous attention is paid to the words and actions of those who are known to have been tories—A tragical circumstance lately took place at a captain's muster in this neighbourhood, a man by the name of Johnston expressing himself pleased at the conduct of captain Humphries, instantly received a discharge of shot in his face and neck from one Nichols, who was sitting on his horse near him, and his horse taking fright at this discharge of the gun, threw him, and he has since died: Johnston is recovering.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) October 30.
By a gentleman just from Ohio, intelligence of considerable importance has been received: that the Potawatamie, Winnapow and other Indians, to the number of 900, have assembled at Greenville, on Mud river, Ohio. The colonel of that part went to them for the purpose of ascertaining their object and numbers. The Indians refused to give him any satisfaction on the subject. He then went to the prophet, and told him if he did not, he should inform the government of his country. He replied, "I care not a d—n for you, or the government of your country; I can blow you off the earth like sand from my hand." Six hundred of the Kentucky militia had crossed the Ohio at Limestone, commanded by gen. Scott; and 500 Ohio militia were required to march for the purpose of dispersing them.
It was reported at Chillicothe, 7,000 Indians had crossed the Lakes, and that a number of British agents were among them, and it was supposed the former were waiting until joined by these others, when it was expected they would attack the whites.
MARTINSBURG, November 13.
From the Norfolk Ledger.
Orders we understand have been sent from the War Department, to the different military posts of the United States, directing that all deserters from the service of foreign nations, should be forthwith discharged. At this post several have been discharged; they were mostly, if not all, British. This has been considered as indicative of a pacific disposition by some; unless we know more of the motives, we shall not offer any opinion upon the subject. It is however to be inferred, that our government is persuaded that the employment of deser-
ters from other services, is either impolitic on our part or illegal, as respecting the rights of other nations. If it is impolitic in the land service, it is more so in our naval service, because the means of becoming treacherous in the latter are more easy, and would be more ruinous to the service. The legality or justice would be alike in either case.
Agriculture. —Among the modern improvements in farming, the dairy has, of late, been too much neglected. So much of the profit of breeders depending upon the facility with which the milk of the cow may be reserved during the suckling of the calf, the following substitute, used in Germany, the natural food of the young progeny, may be acceptable to our country readers. Let as much water be heated on the fire as the calf would be disposed to drink, and when it boils, throw one or two handfuls of oat meal into it, and after continuing it in that state for one minute, take it off, and let it be cooled to the temperature of new milk. When one or two pints of skimmed milk, are to be added to it. With this beverage, the young animal will fatten and thrive prodigiously, the milk of the parent will be applied to the dairy, and the intelligent farmer will immediately discover the great advantage to be derived in the produce of the dairy from such an expedient.
We are told, on the authority of a letter from the Southward, that Gen. Wilkinson has challenged Mr. Wickham, one of the counsel for Col. Burr on the late trials. Mr. Wickham is said to have returned him for answer, that if he would clear up his character he would meet him. [U. S. Gaz.]
From the Virginia Gazette.
The following anecdote is really too good to be kept from the public; it shews at once the temper of the people, and their ungobernable desire to punish wickedness.
"One day last week, a stranger was passing thro' this neighbourhood, and fell in with an old gentleman by the name of Rigby, who he begged to secret him a few days until he could make his escape. "Why," replied Mr. Rigby do you wish to be secreted? "I have just murdered Burr, and I wish to be kept snug a day or so until I can set off safely." Rigby at once agreed, took him home with him and kept him very snug, gave him the best his house afforded, until the fellow discovered where the old man kept his cash, which he found it convenient to possess himself of, together with the old fellow's great coat and some other travelling necessaries, and took himself off very quickly, to the great astonishment and mortification of the good Mr. Rigby.
The frosty hand of Autumn has began to seize the tender herbage, and to delight in the leafy path she is strewing, to welcome the approach of stern Winter. All of variegated and exuberant Summer, which delighted and enlivened the eye and taste, are either gone or passing away rapidly with the Season. What lessons for deep reflection does the transitory state of the Seasons afford the Moralists! How clearly they point out our duty, so to improve the Spring, the Summer and the Autumn of our lives, as to meet the Winter of Age, and Death himself, prepared by Perseverance to realize and enjoy the hopes of future felicity. To the heart that has felt afflictions, whether arising from the loss of near and dear Friends, from disappointments, or from sickness, there is a rich consolation to be derived from a contemplation of the Seasons—"there is a Season for every thing"—Sorrow as well as Joy—and Ages as well as Youth—even Death is necessary to the perfection of our natures.

Notice is hereby given
TO all persons in Berkeley County, Virginia, that are or were indebted to me, which I have assigned to Walter Turner, not to pay him or his agents, any money as aforesaid, that they have not paid, for they in justice are not his property, as I have lately found a discharge from him and his wife for the consideration for which the bonds were assigned on Maj. John Robinson and Mr. Robert Christy, and the other assignments were made for him to collect the money for me; I had lost the receipts as aforesaid, and was not able to prove the contents, and he came from Chillicothe and tormented me when I was in confusion, so that I consented to assign them to him; but since I have found it I have applied to him to release the claim and to amend our answers before the trial of the suit in Berkeley, in which said debts are contested, but he still refuses.
