Sl3t months have elapsed, since the pre)'- j ent Editor of this Gazette, became its Cole 1 proprietor, by purchase, from Mr: Jno. W. , Fefiuo. He therefore deems it proper, at 1 this period, to (lat» some particulars rqlatue 1 to it, at, and since the time when it became j his eftablifhmeut. Thr Gazette of the United States, had from its commeucment, been conduced, at different periods, by two gentlemen, of acknowledged talc'nia and relpeA. biliy ; hence ■it merited and obtained countenance from a ■very numerous and refpeft*b!e class of the community. It was, th-ref re, realonahly concluded, that on its becoming the pro perty of another, who from several years absence from his native city> was recognized only by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previously honored it by their support, would withdraw their names.— This was partially the csfe but so fir from re'alifing the fears emertiined on this point, not one fourth of the number contem plated, ?>ave relinquished. I his alone was a favourable omen, but it is infinitely more gratifying to observe, that, the numbers ad ded to his fiibfcription lift, have exceeded his calculations two-fold. In the Advertising department, many favours, are acknowledged, but as on this particular, reds the ability to meet large pecuniary, weekly disbursements, it is found requisite to solicit a more liberal support. This paper, exclusive 6f the number cir culated in this city, is read in every town, of any Importance, in the United States, and in the adverufiug line, will be Wind highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the community, It will be deemed fuperfluous, at this time, to enter into a detail of the political principles of the Editor—the motives which 2 ftuite him, and his gener.il plan of editing. Thev are now univerftilly known, and it is highly pleafii'.g to find, that they are gene rally approved of, by a refpeftabl" portion of the community, who have fanftioned that appiobatioh with their names and purfts. It >.toy be observed by some honed, wor thy hnen, that the style of the Gazette is Sometimes violent, and' that private per ons, are at those times attacked—To the charcre of violence he obje&s, that of warmth js •cheerfully admited and he will here f.bferve, that advocating truth, and the cleared intererts of his c untry, he feels a a l, which he thinks, and thev on refteftion 3 ult admit, is laudable. T> "fe. who ebjea to his giving full scope to his feelings on this fubjeft, will do well to consider, that he has to contend with an unprincipled, darings and afpirir.g fa&ion ; who threaten ■every thing virtuous, with total fubverfi.on, whofe only arguments are falfehood and calumny. Private characters, are held sacred, gene rally speaking, hut when turbulent aliens and naturalized citizens, become bawlers at town meetings and write libel after libel on the firfl charafters iu our country When they fanftion with their detested names the most gl»f> n K wifehoods and tlie vilefl: de tra&ion, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such men and thole only has the Editor dragged before the American peo ple ; he has opposed them, and will continue to appoft" thew, and from the flrongell ties 6f attachment to America, he will uncea singly combat with all the means in his posver, the infidioug and inveterate foes to this country whether foreign or doroeflic. under wherever specious garb tbev may please to alTume.

CONGRESS OF V//(£ UNITED STATES. House of Representatives, Thursday, December 4. Mr. Hi!! p clei.ted a memori 1! from Sa mtiel Hai rifon Smith and ThoriUs Oarpen reprelenting 1 hat they had uuiertakei to report the debates nt the Houlejthat foil urv 10 their ex;>eifta'ion, on the luggeftioi of inconvenience to the m mbers, th *y had not received pemulTion to occupy a iituatii 011 ithin the bar, without which, they wen nimble to (tale with fidelity the t roceeding and debates ; and praying the permillion o the Honle to be admitted within the bar As soon as the memorial was read tin Speaker role and cbierved, 1 hat kelinj hmdi-lf re'lponliblc to the honle for tin faithful difchaige of the duties attached ti his lituation, he thought it proper to (late the line of condutthe had purlued it this butinefs. He dated that he was ap plied to by letter, on the full day ot the tel lion by Mr. Stewart, n quelling pemiitlioi to occupy a place v ithin the bar ; that ht immediately took the lequeli into confidera tion ; that in the mean time iimilar re quells were made hy other individuals ; thai on obfervinv Hr ; i:tn:c of the room and the arrangement of the furniture , it at WCi appeared to him inconsistent with the n'it) of the House, or tjie convenience of the members, to grant the permilfion asked that the area was too small, to afford tht n.-cetfary accommodation ; that the po rtion cenfidered as the lead inconveni ent to the Honle wsi within the window frames ; that, in his opinion, this politioi: would not be agree tide tothe ftcnographers as the view ot the members on the oppolite tide of the house from either window would be obllruArd: that if apoliti >ll was afligned in any other pari ot the h lute, t!ie ttenog.a phei would iie bet wee-1 the chair and ionic of the members, w'tioh would render the preservation of order inipofhble ; tliat lie had Hated these reasons, and informed the applicants, that if agreeable to them, he would ilfign a place in the galleiy; whuh (hould be let apart for their extlulive ule ; and that he considered that to be the moll eligible position. He concluded by re, eat ing that it was in lus ablr.lu elv impoflible to prel'ervc the dignit\- ot the House, and to .maintain the c„uw nu-.ice ut the members if the requelh-d o .imlHou were giver.. Such was Ins hiii,hism* .naide opinion—lt was unaltered —it was Hill the fame. Mr. Nicholas fa; 1 that the members ot the House mull receive a common inierctt in having the de ates takt»n with fidelity . If the debates were taken, they ought to be taken with precision. Thole who to. !: them Ihouhl not be de barred irom the belt in- ails of hearing with accuracy. For his part he could not discern t he inconvenience to exist. The d lk, which it was necellary to admit within til. bar, would not project beyond the window tiame ; and as to the re in a: kof the Speaker respecting the m convenience of such a position to ihe Steno graphers,- it was easily obviated by the ecu,fideration, that any inaccuracy v Inch might occur in the repoi t of the individual who took ' hem on one tide ct the chair would be checked by the reporter situated on the other fide. lie thought thr desire of the meiriuiialnis ought not to be palled cvei*.lightly. 1 hey had a right to the heft place that the houte doulsi aflign. He moved v'.<e reterence ot tha memorial to a telett committee. Mr. Hill observed that as the memorial contained no fads that required the mvef tigtion of a committee, and a "lie lfoute poli 1-fed all the info in .1 n .at C*uld guide thsir decilion, he d 1 r. it dileeru the propriety of the propoled relertnce. He had prepared a resolution, which, if the mo tion for a reference were withdrawn, he would offer. Mr. Nicholas immediately withdrew his motion. ... r1 /• r u Mr. Hill then propoled a relolution lub ftantially to tins effect ; that Mr. Speaker be requeued to aflign places within the bar far the Stenographer Mr. Otis was lorry the gentleman from Virginia, had withdrawn his motion to refer the memorial to a teleft committee, as lie thought the fubjea required exammatien before a deciticn was made. There appear ed to him much weight in the ideas »f the Speaker. Grant, for the Take of argument, that four persons may be accommodated at the windows. theie. not be other applications? Was any gentleman prepar ed to fay how many would be made It the permiitton were once granted to one, would it not be necelfary to extend it to all r Would the Heufe fuiFer any indivi dual to have ail exclulive benefit whereby a U a nip of authenticity would be fixed on his llatements 1 This bufinefs,in one fliape or other,had ot ten been before the house ; and all con ve il lation refpeiling it had always issued in lea ving it to the regulation ot the Speaker. This appeared to him the best termination it could receive. From tlie attention he had paid to the de bates reported this felTt.ol, he beliaved thf 111 to the better and more accurately taken, then they had been on former occalions. This to him was proof that the pre lent litu ation of ire stenographers was a good one. lie at the fame time, that the ability with which thedc ates were ta ken entitled thole who took them to the best ate mimodatien the house could afford. He concluded with renewing the motion tor a referent e to a feleft committee. Mr. Nicholas replied that no debate had taken place which could test the accuracy of the tienogfaphers. From his own experi ence he pronounced the situation at prelent occuried utterly inconvenient. What he ' had I'ome days finte remarked bad been imi tated. He wett k'hfW that this did not aril frcm the mabilitv of the reporter to state cov.reftly what occurred. He knew him to he intelligent, and fully capable of conceiv ing and conveying the meaning ot any re marks which could be made in that bouse Hut it arore from his lituation, from which it was inipoflible to hear diftin&ly. He declared the objections ol Mr. Otis in relatii-,1 to the number of applicants, perfectly chimerical. Did the gentleman fnppole tljiit tlie number would be lo gieat as to make a demand on our feats ? As 1 well might he imagine this, as that they ! would l'well to the ideal compass be had j given them. It was known to the haafe, i that at Philadelphia the number was irwall; ' seldom, ipQre than two, and uiten not more j than one perfevtred during the leffion, tho' i a greater number appeared on its earlieit ' days. and experience, therefore, de | moiillrated the fallacj of the danger appre hended from this source. A question was then taken on the refer ence to a fele& committee, and carried, ayes 42, nays 34. And a committee of five, viz. Messrs. Otis, Nicholas, Plact, Morris, and Hill, was appointed. __ For the third time here. New-Theatre.
