CoNGREss.--on Monday next, the

CONGRESS.---OI Monday next, the
twentieth Congress will meet at the capitol
of the nation. The House will be called To
order by the late clerk, Matthew St. Clair
Clarke, who will preside until a Speaker is
chosen. After the choice OF Sp eaker, the
clerks Of the House, Sergeant at Arms, door
keepers, &c. will he chosen for the ensuing
two years. II is not certain who will be the
presiding officer Of the House. MIR. Taylor
will be undoubtedly supported, so will mr..
Stevenson aud mr. Barbour both OF Virginia;
to those we will add the names of mr. Oakley,
Of Ncw-York, and mr.. Sargeant Of Pennsyl-
vdnia, and shall not be surprised although mr.
Taylor may not be elected that New. York or
Pennsylvania will furnish the Speaker What
will be- the leading nieasores Of this session of
congress, il is impossible for US to divine
perhaps the Judiciary bill may be new vamp-
ed, and again debated;--mr. NJ 'Duffie may a.
gain introduce his string Of resol utions for
altering the Constitution Of the United States
The bill for the relefof the officers and per.
haps the soldiers Of the Revolutionary war
will be again the subject matter of long and
protracted debate, which will this session pass
or receive forever its quetus. bill reg.
ulating the trade with the British West-India
colonies will be undoubtedly revived. and will
pass in some shape, but different from any bill
that has yet been reported. The bill for the
relief ofthe wool growers and wool manufac.

II was reported, OF something near it, the last
session. We have no doubt that in the dis
cussion, there will be some sharp shooting but
relying upon the nerve as we'll as strength OF
result.-Our immediate Representatives we
know will not be found in the vocaiive when
their services are require d.--This is one Of
the most important questions that will proha
bly, como before congress, so far as the north.
ern interest is concerned. There will be a
great mass Of private business presented this
session. At the last session of ofCongrcss, there
we're moro than four hundred bills reported,
and not acted upon, a thousand petitions
which received reports adverse to tho prayers
Of thom- all ofihis business, or tho most Of l.,
viii again come before congress. five were
at liberty to hazafl an opinion as to the
course OF tho opposition, we would say, not
withstanding all tho predictions to the contra
ry, that this session there will be exhibited
less Of that bitterness and i'll nature which
! Characterised and disgraced both sessions of
the hast congress the Grst session of the
Goth congress viii be hereafter referred to as
business session, and thero viii! be but ve.
ry little blood letting or cause for it.

The TcgotaJic oil Sosp, &c advertised in
this mornings paper by mr. Trench, at the
Coffee House, we heartily recommend to all,
as possessing every quality set forth by the
Inventor. We have seen the application of it
on satin and cloth in extracting oil, &c and
can boar ample testimony of its efficacy.
