only thought, therefore, on which we can

sents to Us the careof Providence, whose

proportions are partly allotted BY Proyi-
dence, and partly left TO the arrangement

In life We are generally dissatisfied

their conduct to obstinacy or negligenre,
because We likewise have been mistaken.
The mind alone, can make our pass
sage through ifeseasy, butt is hard to
Ibring ourselves to be content with oursi-
tuations. The opinion Of the Greeian

The motion to exclude strangers from
the floor of the House was again taken up
and, after considerable debate, it was
agreed, upon the motion of Mr.. Dawson,
to be postponed until the first day of June
next.
Mr.. Jackson moved that provision be
made by law, that twentieth part of the
nett proceeds of the sale of land now sold,
or to be sold by Congress, be appropriated
for making public roads to the Ohio. Nov,
ed be referred to select committee.
Mr.. r. Griswold thoughta committee
ofthe whole house, most proper for this
business, to which Mr.. Jackson agreed.
1t was therefore referred to committee of
the whole house. Ordered to be printed
and made the order of the day for to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Varnum moved the order of the
day, respecting the appropriation of fifty
thousand dollars for the purpose of carry
ing into effect the 9TH article of the treaty
sof amity and commerce with the King of
Great Britain. Agreed without division.
The Chairman having resumed the chair
and read the resolution,
Mr.. r. Griswold rose and observed
that the 9TH section of that treaty provides
that the commissioners shall examine the
claims and award thereon, and that six per
cent. interest be paid upon such claims -
now he objected 10 this, and thought it suf-
hcient to allow them interest from the time
of the award, and therefore moved to strike
out claims, and insert the word award
Mr.. Early observing the gentleman who
brought this business forward not in his
place (Mr. Randolph he moved the post
ponement of the business until tomorrow.

POST OFFICE.
Mr.. Dawson offered the following reso-
lutions:
Resolved, That provision ought to be
made for establishing Post Offices.
RESOLVED, That the money received in
the department of the Post Office, after dis
charging the expences of the establishment,
be appropriated to the improvement of the
post roads.
Mr.. Nicholson observed, that the 60
vernment had great need OF this surplus,
many heavy claims being at this time I'M
pending. He stated that last year the nett
surplus was sixty thousand dollars but
that the present year it was not supposed to
exceed twenty eight thousand dollars. He
observed that the United States have no
post roads; as they belonged to individual
states, tho they are used by government
for the conveyance of the mail.
Mr.. Mitchell imputed the small surplus
of the present year, to the additional ex-
pence of the Post Master General, where
by great Improvements were made, Z the
mails accelerated.
After some conversation, it was agreed
to strike out the first, and refer the second
to a committee of the whole House--ltwas
named the order of the day for to-mor-
