The bill for compcnsating the
troops in the late Wydbd6 battle was
taken up as amended by the Senate.
1t was propofed TO itrike out the
nr'atb extra pay to the Kentucky mill
tia.
Mr.. STEWART advocated the A.
mendmcnt. The militia, he faid, be-
haved like 70 many fheeP in the battle,
and he had no difpoGtion to give pre-
MUM for cowardice.
Mr.. M'KEE, in reply, said, if it had
not been for the militia the regular
forces would have been altogether
dcftroyed at TfPpocdnoe. The amend
ments were concurred in excepting
that refpe6ting the militia

Ihe proceedings OF Congress gwen IN TINS
days paper, are worthy Of particular notice
The Embargo pissed in the House by plur-
atty Of only three votes. The most respec-
table among the democrats for talents and
wisdom, united with the Federalists in 70.
ting against the law. From this circum-
stance we have some reason to believe that
the tms is not far distant when an end will
be put 70 the mad and absurd project ofpun-
ishing cur own citizens with the view ct
starving Great Britain.
After being in session nearly SIX moHths,
Congress begin 70 talk Of sdjouruinB. pockef
! thzir SIX dollars and for short time cease
from their mighiy lsbours. IL Nin be recOi-
lected that the wise men Of The nation were
convened by Proclamation a. al earlier Pc
/ ROD shan usual. The President told them
that" great and weighty matters" dem-1-
! ded their consideration. IT. the course o.
their long session they have acted upon sew
cral measures which The people will fad
to be wcighty, If not great.
The friends Of freedom will find the Stan
ding army Of p. 900 men will prove weigh

The merchants and traders, mechanics
and labourers will find that ihe Embargo,
before il IS of, vial operate as 3 very
weighty matter.
