Saturday, Mi'-y wei
The bill for fa'isfying the cfaim of the reprHen- Q1)
tatives of the late Baron Steuben, was read the pfi
third time and passed. the
Mr. Sitgreaves reported a bill to authorise lUe
President ot the United Slates to cause to be lo
cated one mile square of land at or near the mouth
of the Great Miami River, reserved out of the Br
grant of John Cleves Sym-ne?, which was twice Fii
road and ordered to be tngrofTed for a third reading up
to-day, which it afterwards recei.ed and palled. t |„
The report of the committee of Eledtiornj, to Lf
whom was recommitted the petition of Matthew I
Lyon, complaining of an undue eltftion and return , ar(
of Israel Smith, for the Hate of Vermont, recocri- Sp
mending a resolution to the adoption of the house,
j declaring Mr. Smith not to be entitled to hu feat,
w»« taken up for conGderation. The iitling
' ber spoke at confiJeiable Jengfh on the fiibjeft,
giving'his reasons why the eletiioVi (boutd not be q (
set aside and Mr.-Swift replied, explaining the mo- 'gf
tives which had influenced the dtcifion of the com- g n
mittee of elections. I*]
On-the conclirfion ef Mr. Swift's obfervatiens, w£
Mr. Giles moved that this fubjett ftfould be pod
poned till Monday to take up tse confiderafion of c j.
the matters in difpflte betwixt the Senate and on
house, which was agreed to. . u s
Mr. Gal atin, from the committee appointed to ( j (
I confer with the Senate on the fubjeft matter in dif
pute between the two houseS on the bill providing
for payment of certain debts of the United Statei,
made a report. The house receded ftom their dis
agreement to the amendment of the Senate, which,
instead of making the five millions payable, after
the year 1819, in Jive equal and fuccefftve annual ga
injlalments, diredta payment to be made after that
period, a t the pleasure of the United States, Ihe ai
1 committee consented to to the amendment
of the Senate to (Irike out the latter part of the
third clause, which directs that the 6 per cents
stock to be created (hall not fell under par, on con
dition of a reftri&ing clause being admitted, to pre
vent more than a moiety of such (lock from beisg t j
' fold underpar. _ , b'
This agreement of the committee occasioned
considerable debate. The principle of felling any
part of the 6 per cent. Stock under par was re- q
probated by MefTrt. Swanwick, Giles, Havens, and y(
■ Lyman, as introducing a bad pradiiee into our si-
1 nancial proceedings, as it had been under- j
flood the bank would be.fatisfied with two millions
of dollars at present, there was no necessity for fel- u
ling any part of the 6 per cent (lock under par, as
> the two millions of bank (lock would doubtless fell
above par, and would be equal to the fatisfying of r
? their present demands. But it was said by Mr. e
- Gallatin, who was one ot the committee of con- t |
t. ference, that he was unwilling to have fold any
part of the 6 per cent (lock to be created, under j
par, if it could have been avoided ; but gentlemen
were mistaken with refpeft to the bank's being fa- £
tisfied with two millions at present. The commit-
tee had been told by a gentleman in the Senate |
(whom he believed was a direflor of the bank) f
y that, if the bank (lock was not fold, and two mil
~ lions and a half of the 6 per cent (lock was permit-, j
ted to be fold on the belt terms which COuld be (
got, the bank would be fatisfied ; but, otherwise (
- they must have the whole five millions paid them.
The committee, theiefore, thought it best not to
agree to any condition of the kind mentioned, but
provide for the payment of the whole and this they (
j could not d 6 in any other way than- that proposed.
t _ Mt. Nicholas, Mr. Coit and Mr. W. Smith, spoke
le in favor of this report ; and the question was taken
by yeas and nays, on motion of Mr. Swanwick, as

_ Mr. Tracy, from the committee of claims, in
formed the house that he had-a number of teports,
'b e which he wiftied to lay upon the table ; they were
on petitioners. He said he would at
present lay them upon the table only ; if he saw a
» ts convenient opportunity before the feflion closed he
cm would call them up.
Mr. W. Smith from the cormni'tee of ways and
means, reported a bill making provilioo for the qai
' litary and naval eftabUftimcßU* and for other pur
poses, which was twice read and ordered lo he
( committed to a committee of the whole to-day.
Mr. Giles from the committee to whom -was re
ferred the bill from the Senate, for ereifling the
territory south of the Ohio into one ftat«f, and for
directing a census to be taken, also the resolution
of the House of Representatives in favor of admit
ting that territory as a (late into the Union, and I
the message from the President on the farrie fubjetft,'
made a report. 1 his report went to change the
principle of the bill, from the Senate, and confe
t . quenlly occasioned cenfideralle dsbate. The House
of Reprefenlatives (as has been aheady dated when
tfie bufincfs was before ander dif. uffien) "contend
that the proceedings of these people baye been so

es a (late into the Union, but by the bill sent from
m the Senate, if was progol'ed to lay out the territory
into a llaie, and ordei a census to be taken, btfore

The next amendment was the introduction of a U«
clause recognizing the right of that Hate to fend
one Representative into that house, until the period
of taking the next census all over the union, and
that the laws of the United States fljould.have the
fame force in the state of I ennefice, as ita all other
parts of the Uniun.
Mr. Maeon moved to strike out one Reprelenta
tive, and insert two re;prefciitalives, to which he
thought they were entitled. _ _ j at
This was opposed 011 *11 fides, a* giving an ad
vantage to this (late over ail others, whose repre-
fentation was fixed in the year 1790. The Yeas .
and Nays were taken, when all the membeis in the
bouse were in the negative—except MefTrs. Frank-
Hn, Greenup, Holland, Macon and Rutherford,
and the motion was therefore loft 62 to 5.
Mr. W. Smith called for a divifioo of the qu<ff-
tion, and that part relative to the state being enti
tied to one representative, being put, it was carried
by the yeas and nays being taken, 41 to 29 ; the
house being divided in the fame way as upon the
firil amendment, except that MefTrs. Baldwin, Brent,
! Coles, Gillefpie, Hancock, Heath, and \\ inn, who
voted in the affirmative of the former question, and
Mr. Bourne, who voted in the negative, weie, on
this division, out of the house. _ y£
s The other part of this amendi* nt was carried
unanimously, and the bill was ordered to be engrof-
' fed for a third reading on Monday. j
' A meflage was received from the President, in
forming the house that he had approved and sign-
' ed the a£l laying a tax op carriages, and an a& for J
the relief and prote&ion of American seamen. J
A meflage was also received in writing from the j
r President, informing the house, that a farther ap-
n propriation was necessary for the support of foreign
correfpondeoce. An estimate accompanied the Bief
fage, by which it appeared upwards of 23,000 dol
? lars would be addition to what had al- j.
' ready been appropriated.
A meflage was received from the Senate inform"
!ng the house tlsfir the Piefi *en t had approved and .
J5 figited the a6t, which originated in that house, for
e relief of persons imptifoned for debt ; and that the
Senate had come to a tcfolution to authorize the

A duel of a very extraordinary nature took plae*
lately at Hamburgh between Gen. W. and Col I
both officers of the Guards. It originated in a cJar'
rell at > gaming-table. They went out to Lht
with broad swords. At the lirll stroke col. 1. cut
off three fingers of the right hand of general W.
the matter ended there lor the present ; but it is
fuppaleA that andther meeting will take place.
An alteration, it isfaM, rt-ttrtake place in file
dress of the infantry. Long coaw are to be wholly
laid aside.
Lieut. Pine, who so gallantly signalized liir.iftlf
on the Battery of Hetqui, is the officer who some
time ago preienred a petition to the Ring at Winc
for, Hating the difficulty he expctiencei in being
employed in the fervfce, owing to the loss tf hi»
arm.
The Matquis of CornwSllis is now making a sur
rey of the potts edablilhed along the Kent «nd
Sussex Coalls : He infpe&ed t>)e garrifan of Can
terbury 011 Thursday, and on Fiiday proceeded to
Dover.
Mr. Pitt's intended tax on Legacies andTnheiit.
. ances is nearly an cxaft copy of that impol'ed by
Jugujius, when he edablilhed a permanent military
, force for the defence of his Government and f r
the extraordinary cxpenf.-3 of War. Gibbon, in
L his.Roman Empire, vol. I. oft. ed. p. 263, fays,
—♦'The pie revenue of the Excise, though pe
culiarly appropriated to those ules, was lounj in
adequate. 'Foiupply the deficiency, the Emperor
fuggelled a new tax of live per eent, pujl legacies
and Inheritances.; but the nobles of Rome were
j more tv than of freedom. Their
indignant muimurs were received by nugujiui with
e his usual temper : he candidly referred the whole
e business to the Senate, and exhorted them to pr -
c vide for the public fcrvice by some other expediei t
» of a less odious nature. They were divided and
perplexed- He intimatetf to them that their oblli
nacy-would oblige him to propose a general land tax
» and capitation. They acquiesced in silence. The
cevv imposition on legacies and inheritances wds
however, mitigated by some rcftriftions—lt did
not talte place unless theobjeft wasot a certain-.a
-- lue, nor could itbeexafted Irom the reared of kin."
The cenfequeuce of this law, however, was, that
"in the course of two or three generations, the
f- whole property of the fubjedi must have gradually
passed through the,coffers of the date."
r > The following very extraordinary circumfUnre
took place, a few days, lince, »t Penfy, in Buck
s') inghamftvire : —A fwao, while fitting oa her eggs,
"» on the fide of the river, observed a fox fwimmirg
towards her frota the oppolite ffiore, and rightly
n " judging (he could encounter the enemy bed in her
own element, indantly darted into the- water, and
"xl having beat off the Xu* for.a cawi*4vMMe time with
her wings, atiualiy succeeded in drowning him, to

this Angular phenomenon.
LONDON, April 5,
We have mentioned that a Committee of gentle
men had met at the London Tavern, to consider
the didtcfied date of public credit, and that they
were to meet Mr. Pitt.on thefubjedl as yeP.erday.
Tic names of these gentlemen have been jathei in
correiSly dated in til's and every other paper —
The following is acorreft statement of the gentle
men who formed the committee:
Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON, Chair.
Mr. Alderman Henderfon, Mr. Boyd,
Mr. Alderman Lufhington, Mr. Inglis, and
Sir James Saunderfon, Mr. Angerllein.
Tile fuhjeft of the deliberations, and the repoit
of the commi.le not being yet in that date ot ma
turity as to be fit for publication, we are only p (l "
mitted at present to date the general result ot the
•rt. proposition which was yedtrdav submitted to Mr.
, Pitt on the part of the Committee, who were with
om the Minider near an hour and an half. In conle
mc quence of the extended trade of .the countiy, a™
io the narrowed tin ulation of the bank paper, every
for mercantile m tit has lately felt the greatelt inconve
>od nience in carrying on his bufmefe, on aeconnt o
cts the limitation which the bank has prescribed to 1 *
sale fclf >n difroilViting hills. To remedy this ins'"-
lar- venience, the committee have generally propof«<>
iwn that a paper currency should be ifTued for a limitc
for time, not exceeding one year, under the fandio" 0
lat parliament, aw j under the controul of 15 c cßin ™
•ionerii, iovvsrdi the aid of public crtdit ; and *
lay, ,his paper, io issued, (hould be either payable at
but fight (to co, which a fund should be raised) or b fJf
rafc on iutereil, suited the holder. .
This p>oduced a long converlsuoa
