CONGRESS-.


On Monday next the national legisla-
ture will convene at Washington. Not
withstanding the present is a period OF
profound peace in Europe, and. the ca
rion of war is not heard, save in the
southern provinces of OBI own continent,
yet there can be no doubt that subjects of
much Importance will occupy the deli
berations Of congress. We hope to see
a liberal, enlarged, aud really national
policy adopted with regard to our domes-
tic manufactures, and that our internal
relations generally, as far as is expedi-
ent, will receive the salutary influence of
legislative interference.
It is an opinion which has met with
general credence, that the cause and
situation of the patriotic governments Of
South America will be examined, aud the
propriety of acknowledging the indie
pendence of one or more of them atten-
lively considered. The official commu-
nications of the delegation appointed to
inquire into the expediency of the latter
act, no doubt, will be productive of very
important and, perhaps, conclusive weight
in the determination Of the question.
1t has been promulgated, with an ap
pearance of authenticity, that Don OnIs,
the Spanish minister, has in his posses
sion sealed dispatches from his govern
ment, which are to be presented to con-
gress at the succeeding session. These
are said to be an offer, on the part of
Ferdinand, to cede the Fioridas TO the
United States for stipulated considera-
ton. Should this prove to be the fact, ii
is sincerely hoped that the attention Of
our legislature will be called on the sub
ject at an early day in the session.
The present state OF affairs at Amelia
earnestly requires the interference OF
some power capable Of establishing order
and government, and affording it protes-

RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT.
The following is copy of The Address
to the President of the U. States, by
His Honor the Mayor, on Saturday
last ito which is suhjoined the presi-
dents reply.
To the President oftas tTmsed 'S'ates:
SIR,
The further prosecution Of the impor-
tant object of your late toul, has brought
you to our town. 1t is with pleasure
that the Mayor and Common Council Of
alexandria, on behalf of themselves and
their fellow-citizens, offer to you their
cordial and respectful salutations upon
your arrival among US. In you, sir, we
behold not only the chief of the nation,
but the executive magistrate of this Dis
trict. Coniding in the purity of your in
tentions, and believing that the powers
vested in you by the constitution, will be
used with due regard to the welfare of
the people whose dearest interests are
entrusted to your care--we avail our
selves Of this occasion to express our sim
cere hope, that the suspicious circum-
stances which attend the commencement
of your administration, may, with the
blessing Of our Heavenly Father, under
your direction, unite to promote the solid
and permanent good Of eur beloved eoun-
try. We feel every assurance, that the
peculiar interest and welfare Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, will receive your at
tentiye consideration, and that such mea-
sures will be recommended by you TO
Congress, as are in your opiaion best cal
culated to promote the prosperity of the
District. With these sentiments We unite
in our ardent wishes for your present and
future prosperity, aud that it may please
the Supreme Governor Of the world so TO
guide you, that the course Of your admi-
nistration may entitle you to the graft
tude and affection of your fellow. citizens
and the respect of future generations.
To which the President was pleased to
make the following verbal reply:
That he received with pleasure the
kind attention of the town of Aiexan,
dria that from the circumstance of ha-
wing known the town from his early
youth, aud entertaining friendship for
many of its inhabitants, the marks Of
kindness he now received, could not fail
to be agreeable to him !: that the general
interest and defence of the nation, had
been the object of his late tour, and 10
the further prosecution of that object, his
present visit was here, and to the neigh.
boring fort, on which the safety of the
town seemed materially to depend that
he considered the prosperity of the Dis
trict, from having been made the seat Of
the general government, as becoming a
subject of national concern, and that he
felt every disposition to promote its inte-
rests as Car as he was enabled by the i'm
portsnt situation TO which his country had
done him the honor to call him.

Co,tons have lately been rather dull,
but are now reyiving, as the stock with
which the dealers had SO awply provided
themselves, is now fast DIMINISHING, and
the efforts they are strongly making To
purchase little below our currency, are
evidently Intellectual. The new crop will
arrive to very bare markets.
Wheat and flour haze materially ad.

cept the TACT Of the crops having entirely
failed in Portugal, which las created an
export demand for that quarter. Our own
harvest is nov completely housed in ex-
celIent order. Every exertion will BE-
made to keep the ports open. and the re
suit is at present doubtful. however, the
last ave age, which was the first Of The
six weeks preceding the quarter day, was
only rs 4d per quarter. Rice remains

When that island fell into the power Of
the beseigers under M'Gregor, we re.
Joiced at the event, because we regarded
It as the first movement towards the e.
mancipation of the Floridas, and we're
! impressed with the belief that the posses
sion of that island would operate greatly
to promote the common cause OF South
American freedom, by the facilities which
it would afford the Patriots as place Of
rendezvous and equipment.
We do not cel,sure the original inten-
ton OF M'Grcgur-tbe course of conduct
which he pursued, and the measures a.
dopted by him at the onset, furnish at
least presumptive evidence that his views
we're honorable, and that his object was
10 have taken possession of st. Angus
tine. He was, no doubt, deceived in his
expectations Of aid /; and we now see that
the consequence has been, the conversion
OF his conquest into common receptacle
tor freebOoters of all nations and hues-
Of which. however, the sable appears to
bear the predominance.
We consider it duty enjoined on our
government, as the head Of an independ-
ent nation, to arrest and completely put
a period to these proceedings. Our own
commerce and the commerce Of the world
demand their interference. Let them,
by their determinations on the subject,
prove to other nations, that, however
greatly they value liberty and the free
dom Of states, yet it requires something
more than the mere name Of patriots to
ensure their countenance and approba-
ton.
Should negotiations not be entered in
to with the Spanish government at an
early day Of the session, we trust and be.
licve that congress will see the absolute
necessity of iBterposips and taking pos
session of the island Of Amelia, with su:h
other ports within the territories of Spain,
in the vicinity of the United States, as
may be deemed expedient to counterfeit
and prevent depredatiOns upon our COM
merce, as we'll as upon the commerce Of
other nations, from an unauthoriseG
