PROSPECTUS.

IN announcing this Prospectus to the
public, the Editor deems it respectful to
submit the motives which have induced the
undertaking, as well as the plan on which
it will be conducted.
Grown old and inhrm in the dutie. of his
profession, he feels himself under the me-
cessity OF attempting something towards the
support of bis family, which be has not
been able hitherto 10 effect by the small
stipend that he has been accustomed to re-
ceive. He POUNDS no small portion of his
hopes OF success, therefore, on the fact,
that, though the merits of bis paper may
not prove equivalent to the small pecunia-
ry cost OF it, yet an ample remuneration
may be found in the consideration of hav-
ing relieved young and helpless family.
But he is not without hope, tina. the work
itself will prove to be. not altogether ua. }
worthy Of the public patronage,

The Farmer's Magazine, to which we refer
our readers for further particulars. We are
more especially DESTROYS TO bring this sub

C.x..-I.r, Tt,.no.-.,

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON
Saturday, January 8.
The house of representatives contrived
to spend nearly the sum total ofyesterday
in discussing over the discussions of the two
preceding days upon the military appro-
prialion bill, and the sun, in dipping down
at the western horizon, witnessed the tef-
mination of the debate, in which nothing
new was said, and nothing de6nitive was
done, but the bill was laid upon the table,
there to wait for the coming up of report
that lags behind, without which, some of
the gentlemen thought, the desired appro-
priation could not be acknowledgement.
MIR. Tucker brought in bill from the
committee on roads and canals, appropri-
ating an annual sum, to be settled in COM
mittee, for making roads and canals, and
improving the navigation ofwater cour'es--
the same to be paid out of the monies aris-
ing from the sale Of public lands. The
fund to be placed, for the present, under
the care of the secretary OF the treasury,
and under the control of the president, and
to be divided among the several states, to
be by them applied in making roads, ca
nails, and similar improvements, in such
manner as congress shall seem conducive
to the benefit of the union. 1t was read
twice. and ordered to be committed on
Monday, the house adjourned.

HIGH-HANpEp PIRACY.

The following extract of letter from
Capt. Thomas l.. Milan, master Of the
scbnr.-, of this port, is politely fur
nished us for publication, by commercial
friend-It is dated Havana, 9th December,
and adds one more to the black catalogue
of outrages already committed on the no.
nest commerce Of the citizens Of the Uni
ted States. Coming from source which
may be implicitly relied on, il arouses in
our bosoms the deepest execration for
those wretches, who, under the mask OF
patriotism, carry on system OF robbery
and brutal outrage, which would disgrace
the most distinguished pirates of the Me-
diterranean.-It calls loudly for the prompt
interference OF our government. We hope
the day is not far distant, when these free
hooters Oil the great highway ofnations,
will receive from our gallant navy, that

richly deserve. l.Nouok Beacon.
