CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Saturday, May 28.
The bill for satisfying the claim of the representatives of the late Baron Steuben, was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Sitgreaves reported a bill to authorize the President of the United States to cause to be located one mile square of land at or near the mouth of the Great Miami River, reserved out of the grant of John Cleves Symmes, which was twice read and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-day, which it afterwards received and passed.
The report of the committee of Elections, to whom was recommitted the petition of Matthew Lyon, complaining of an undue election and return of Israel Smith, for the state of Vermont, recommending a resolution to the adoption of the house, declaring Mr. Smith not to be entitled to his seat, was taken up for consideration. The sitting member spoke at considerable length on the subject, giving his reasons why the election should not be set aside and Mr. Swift replied, explaining the motives which had influenced the decision of the committee of elections.
On the conclusion of Mr. Swift's observations, Mr. Giles moved that this subject should be postponed till Monday to take up the consideration of the matters in dispute between the Senate and that house, which was agreed to.
Mr. Gallatin, from the committee appointed to confer with the Senate on the subject matter in dispute between the two houses on the bill providing for payment of certain debts of the United States, made a report. The house receded from their disagreement to the amendment of the Senate, which, instead of making the five millions payable, after the year 1810, in five equal and successive annual instalments, directs payment to be made after that period, at the pleasure of the United States. The committee consented to agree to the amendment of the Senate to strike out the latter part of the third clause, which directs that the 6 per cents stock to be created shall not sell under par, on condition of a restricting clause being admitted, to prevent more than a moiety of such stock from being sold under par.
This agreement of the committee occasioned considerable debate. The principle of selling any part of the 6 per cent. stock under par was reprobated by Messrs. Swanwick, Giles, Havens, and Lyman, as introducing a bad practice into our financial proceedings, and that as it had been understood the bank would be satisfied with two millions of dollars at present, there was no necessity for selling any part of the 6 per cent. stock under par, as the two millions of bank stock would doubtless sell above par, and would be equal to the satisfying of their present demands. But it was said by Mr. Gallatin, who was one of the committee of conference, that he was unwilling to have sold any part of the 6 per cent. stock to be created, under par, if it could have been avoided; but gentlemen were mistaken with respect to the bank's being satisfied with two millions at present. The committee had been told by a gentleman in the Senate (whom he believed was a director of the bank) that, if the bank stock was not sold, and two millions and a half of the 6 per cent. stock was permitted to be sold on the best terms which could be got, the bank would be satisfied; but, otherwise they must have the whole five millions paid them. The committee, therefore, thought it best not to agree to any condition of the kind mentioned, but provide for the payment of the whole and this they could not do in any other way than that proposed. Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Coit and Mr. W. Smith, spoke in favor of this report; and the question was taken by yeas and nays, on motion of Mr. Swanwick, as follows:
YEAS.
Messrs. Ames, Bourne, Bradbury, Coit, Cooper, Dent, Earle, A. Foster, D. Foster, Gallatin, Gilbert, Glenn, Goodrich, Griswold, Hampton, Harrison, Heath, Heister, Henderdon, Hindman, Kitchell, Kittera, S. Lyman, Madison, Malbone, Milledge, Muhlenberg, Murray, Nicholas, Read, Richards, Sitgreaves, Jer. Smith, N. Smith, Isaac Smith, W. Smith, T.

Lyman, Maclay, Macon, Moore, New, Rutherford, Isaac Smith, R. Sprigg, jun. Swanwick, Venable, Winn—35.
Mr. Tracy, from the committee of claims, informed the house that he had a number of reports, which he wished to lay upon the table; they were all against the petitioners. He said he would at present lay them upon the table only; if he saw a convenient opportunity before the session closed he would call them up.
Mr. W. Smith from the committee of ways and means, reported a bill making provision for the military and naval establishments, and for other purposes, which was twice read and ordered to be committed to a committee of the whole to-day.
Mr. Giles from the committee to whom was referred the bill from the Senate, for erecting the territory south of the Ohio into one state, and for directing a census to be taken, also the resolution of the House of Representatives in favor of admitting that territory as a state into the Union, and the message from the President on the same subject, made a report. This report went to change the principle of the bill from the Senate, and consequently occasioned considerable debate. The House of Representatives (as has been already stated when the business was before under discussion) contend that the proceedings of these people have been so far regular, as to authorize the admission of them as a state into the Union, but by the bill sent from the Senate, it was proposed to lay out the territory into a state, and order a census to be taken, before they could be admitted. This report of the committee confirmed the bill to the opinion heretofore expressed in the house, the report was supported by Messrs. Giles, Nicholas, Madison, Gallatin, Venable,
Mr. W. Lyman and Holland, and opposed by Messrs. W. Smith, Sitgreaves, Thatcher, Coit, and Harper.
On motion of Mr. W. Smith, the Yeas and Nays were taken three times upon this subject; first upon the first amendment, which went to alter the principle of the bill, by admitting the State into the Union, instead of directing a census to be taken for the purpose, and was as follows:
YEAS.
Messrs. Bailey, Baldwin, Baird, Benton, Blount, Brent, Bryan, Cabell, Claiborne, Coles, Crabb, Earle, Findley, Franklin, Gallatin, Giles, Gillespie, Greenup, Grove, Hampton, Hancock, Harrison, Hathorn, Havens, Heath, Heister, Holland, Jackson, Locke, W. Lyman, Maclay, Macon, Madison, Milledge, Moore, New, Nicholas, Preston, Richards, Rutherford, Israel Smith, R. Sprigg, jun. T. Sprigg, Swanwick, Tatem, Van Cortlandt, Venable, Winn—48.
NAYs.

The next amendment was the introduction of a clause recognizing the right of that state to send one Representative into that house, until the period of taking the next census all over the union, and that the laws of the United States should have the same force in the state of Tennessee, as in all other parts of the Union.
Mr. Macon moved to strike out one Representative, and insert two representatives, to which he thought they were entitled.
This was opposed on all sides, as giving an advantage to this state over all others, whose representation was fixed in the year 1790. The Yeas and Nays were taken, when all the members in the house were in the negative—except Messrs. Franklin, Greenup, Holland, Macon and Rutherford, and the motion was therefore lost 62 to 5.
Mr. W. Smith called for a division of the question, and that part relative to the state being entitled to one representative, being put, it was carried by the yeas and nays being taken, 41 to 29; the house being divided in the same way as upon the first amendment, except that Messrs. Baldwin, Brent, Coles, Gillespie, Hancock, Heath, and Winn, who voted in the affirmative of the former question, and Mr. Bourne, who voted in the negative, were, on this division, out of the house.
The other part of this amendment was carried unanimously, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading on Monday.
A message was received from the President, informing the house that he had approved and signed the act laying a tax on carriages, and an act for the relief and protection of American seamen.
A message was also received in writing from the President, informing the house, that a farther appropriation was necessary for the support of foreign correspondence. An estimate accompanied the message, by which it appeared upwards of 23,000 dollars would be wanted, in addition to what had already been appropriated.
A message was received from the Senate informing the house that the President had approved and signed the act, which originated in that house, for relief of persons imprisoned for debt; and that the Senate had come to a resolution to authorize the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to close the present session on Wednesday next, the first of June.

Extract of a Letter from a Mercantile House to their Correspondent here. London, April 4.
"We had but a middling supply of Wheat from Essex and Kent this morning, but having some considerable arrivals from the northward, and Government bringing forward a further quantity for sale, and the country markets in the neighbourhood having been very well supplied last week, and prices much fallen, we experienced an excessive heavy sale again to-day, at a decline of 12 1/2 to 15 1/2 per quarter from the prices of this day week. The town is exceeding full of North Country Flour, for which there is no sale at present, though offered at very reduced prices.—No price for Rye.
The supply of Barley being very short to-day, the best samples fetched rather more money, but Malt continues extremely dull.—Beans and Pease of all sorts very heavy sale, and further declined.
We had some further arrivals of English Oats to-day, and the town being very full at present, and all the country markets round well supplied, there was little demand, and prices were 1s. to 1s. 6d. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Red Clover-seed about 5s. per Cwt. cheaper, and White, dull sale at last week's prices.
  Wheat, Essex & Kent 70 to 80   Ditto North Country 65 to 70   Foreign Wheat 65 to 75 —best—Dantzic 80   Rye No Sale   Barley, 31 to 33   Malt 41 to 43   Tick Beans 32 to 33 3/4   Small ditto 34 to 36   Hog Pease 35 to 37   White ditto 30 to 36 —fine Boilers 50 to 52   Foreign White Pease 30 to 36 —fine Boilers 40 to 50   Indian Corn No Sale   Small Oats 16 to 20 —fine 21 3/4 very fine 23 to 24   Poland ditto 16 to 19 —fine 22—very fine 25   Black ditto 17 to 21   Linseed for Oil 46 to 48 —fine 54   Hempseed 50 to 52   Red Cloverseed 60 110 to 145   White Cloverseed 50 80 to 90 per Cwt.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.
By the Snow HERR, Capt. Gay, in Forty Nine days from London.
LONDON, April 2.
A duel of a very extraordinary nature took place lately at Hamburgh between Gen. W. and Col. I. both officers of the Guards. It originated in a quarrel at a gaming-table. They went out to fight with broad swords. At the first stroke Col. I. cut off three fingers of the right hand of general W. the matter ended there for the present; but it is supposed that another meeting will take place.
An alteration, it is said, is to take place in the dress of the infantry. Long coats are to be wholly laid aside.
Lieut. Pine, who so gallantly signalized himself on the Battery of Herqui, is the officer who some time ago preferred a petition to the King at Windsor, stating the difficulty he experienced in being employed in the service, owing to the loss of his arm.
The Marquis of Cornwallis is now making a survey of the posts established along the Kent and Sussex Coasts. He inspected the garrison of Canterbury on Thursday, and on Friday proceeded to Dover.
Mr. Pitt's intended tax on Legacies and Inheritances is nearly an exact copy of that imposed by Augustus , when he established a permanent military force for the defence of his Government, and for the extraordinary expenses of War. Gibbon , in his Roman Empire , vol. 1. oct. ed. p. 263, says, —"The ample revenue of the Excise, though peculiarly appropriated to those uses, was found inadequate. To supply the deficiency, the Emperor suggested a new tax of five per cent. on all Legacies and Inheritances; but the nobles of Rome were more tenacious of property than of freedom. Their indignant murmurs were received by Augustus with his usual temper: he candidly referred the whole business to the Senate, and exhorted them to provide for the public service by some other expedient of a less odious nature. They were divided and perplexed. He intimated to them that their obsequacy would oblige him to propose a general land tax and capitation. They acquiesced in silence. The new imposition on legacies and inheritances was however, mitigated by some restrictions—It did not take place unless the object was of a certain value, nor could it be exacted from the nearest of kin." The consequence of this law, however, was, that "in the course of two or three generations, the whole property of the subject must have gradually passed through the coffers of the state."
The following very extraordinary circumstance took place, a few days since, at Penfy, in Buckinghamshire:—A swan, while sitting on her eggs, on the side of the river, observed a fox swimming towards her from the opposite shore, and rightly judging she could encounter the enemy best in her own element, instantly darted into the water, and having beat off the fox for a considerable time with her wings, actually succeeded in drowning him, to the astonishment of several persons, spectators of this singular phenomenon.

B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
