published, in Berlin, on the 21st Oct. that

probable the French would soon enter it.

the enemy, according to tlie piesident's pro-

troops can be raised, Congress will have no-
thing to do, but to ascertain his force, and
order twice his number to be immediately
enlisted, which troops (should the militia
fail to cut in pieces the enemy) mast qjick-

as soon as possible after they are officered x
by a course of training and discipline, ren-

Perhaps it will be said, that general
Washington could never prepare the mili-
tia, to contend with veteran troeps ; we
expect tkis objection, and are ready with
our answer. Mr. Jefferson, there is no doubt,

ton did not) and will communicate it to

Remarkable Phenomenon,—A star was dis-
covered on Friday, the 2jtb of November,
by a number of respectable inhabitants of
Oswego Village, in Tioga County at noon-
day, as they were in the woods surveying
land.—It was first discovered by Mr. Wilder
Gaskiii; then by Mr. Silas Gaskill, Mr.
Iligby, the surveyor and anumbi
It appeared about the magnitude of Venus,
a little to the east of the sun, and passed
on under the sun : its velocity to appearance,
(as they express ii,) according to the : 1111's
revolution, about three hours in about 15
minutes, revolving from east to west'J They
kept sight of it until it sat in the west.—
The sky was remarkably clear, the sun shone
bright, and not a cloud to be seen. This
remarkable discovery excites great curiosity ;
and it is hoped that some of our naturalists
will define it to the public.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13.
Prom a. Correspondent.
We hope we shall not, at least we do not
intend to say aught, xvhich may in the smal
lest degr*e detract from the merit of any
member of our administration. They are,
all, honourable men, and endowed with
characteristic qualifications. To the presi-
dent, however, who has measured the claw
of a megalonix, described caves, and disco-
vered the colour of the African to he occa-
sioned by a certain opake matter seated un-
der the skin,* it may be permitted us to as-
sign the highest rank. As a statesman, we
have in vain searched the books for a paral-
lel. To him our country is indebted, for
an improvement in the structure of gun-
boats, an engine, which, when united with
certain sub-marine vessels (lately recom-
mended in the Aurora, as a happy addition
to our system of defence)cannot fail to placu
our cities and sea-coast hors d'insulte, from
all naval attacks. To him also, we are to
owe a new organization of the militia,
which is to enable certain effective portions
of it to move, with the celerity of telegra-
phic intelligence, to any point in the union,
at the shortest notice, and bravely contend,
in the tented field, with veteran troops, till
such a time as a regular force can be raised
and disciplined, to take their place. This
discovery, made so apropos, when threaten-
ed w ith a war with Spain, and consequently
with France, must, if any thing could, serve
to enhance that high opinion which Bona-
parte cannot but entertain of the skill of our
chief in military affairs, and in providing
mt the defence of a country.
But we should do injustice to this vast
project, were we not to add another obser-
vation, illustrative of its excellence. It is
to gam a greut pomt in warfare, to be able
to'conceal from au enemy our strength, &

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, January 12.
[Taken fur the FEDERAL GAZETTE.]
Mr. Holmes, from the committee of
claims, presented a report on the petition of
Stephen 5ayre, praying compensation for
services rendered during- the revolution.
The committee report, that the prayer of
the petitioner is reasonable and ought ro be
granted. Referred to a committee of the
whole on Wednesday.
Mr. Early from the committee of com-
merce and manufactures, presented a report
on the petition of sundry inhabitants of
Plymouth, and a report on the petition of
sundry manufacturers of glass, praying that
said place may be erected into a port of en-
try, in both instances : The committee re-
port that the prayers of the petitioners
ought not to be granted. Referred to a
committee of the whole on Monday.
Mr. Early also presented " a bill to annex
certain shores and waters to the district Of
Mississippi," and " a bill authorising the is-
suing of debentures, in oertajn cases." Read
twice, and referred to a committee of the
whole on Monday.
Mr. R. Nelson, from the committee to
whom was referred so much of the message
of the president of the United States, as re-
lates to the repairs ol fortifications and to
the further protection of the ports, towns
and harbors, reported two resolutions, ,in
substance, as follows :
Resolved, That a sum of money; not ex-
ceeding dollars, be appropriated to ena-
ble the president of the United States, to
cause our fortifications to be improved and
repaired.
Resolved, That a further sum of money
not eve-vl'-- dolors,.be appropriated

day on the "bill to repeal the acts laying
duty on salt, and to continue in force for i
further rime the first section of the act. enti-
tled an act farther ro prelect the commerce
and seamen of the United States, against
the Barbary powers '.'
Mr. Gluiucy moved to postpone it til! Fri.
day. He could see no reason for hurrying
the business. He did not know but that
memorials on the subject would soon be pre-
sented to the house, as he had received let-
ters from sundry manufacturers of salt, in
the state of Massachusetts. He hoped that
on a subject which might involve the ruin
of" a number of individuals, the house would
allow them time to lie heard.
Mr. Randolph hoped that motion would
net prevail. It would be recjleeted that a
bill of precisely the same nature had passed
the house during the last session ; and lie
was among the number of those who sin-
cerely regretted that it had been lost. The
repeal of the duty on salt had alsc Been
specially recommended in the president's
message. These two circumstances, he
thought, had given persons interested, ample
notice to forward their petitions. Jt was
well known that; congress must of necessi-
ty adjourn on the 3d of March : if the
house went on in postponing the business
from time to time, he feared this important
subject would be I f ;1
Mr. Gluincey made some remarks in re-
ply. He was follow (1 l.y Mr. Sloan, who
acknowledged fhe impoi t'ande. of the subject,
but believed there was a still more ii
ant subject befpre the house-rrhe meant the
bill for the .punishment of certasn crin
gainst the U. States.
Mr.. Sloan was info
alluded to vitas no |ied bu-
siness of the house.
The motion to postpone *ras lost ; ft the
house resol .'or.' itself into a committee of the
Whole on the brll.
On motion of Mr. Randolph, the blank
in the bill was filled with the u t fj»_j of'Jn-
ly (at Which time tfi« jaw is to lakedTect.)
Mr. tluince.v moved to insert the words
bohea, souchong and other black teas, so
as to repeal the present duties on those .arti-
cles also, and substitute others. He wished
the law to be equally beneficial to all class-
es of the community, ' The president, had
st.ited in his message that we could dowith-
out the duty Oil salti* -That duty amounted
to half'a million of dollars. The'inference,
therefore, was, that we could do without
that money. By rn/ucingthe. duty on salt
to 12 1-3 cents, we couid also reduce those
on brewn sugar, colT-e and souctforfg tea ;
this would equalise the relief intended to
he granted. He wished such a system to he
d, it e.!, that thy bihabitahtsof seaport towns
would receive Mot proportion of tile bene-
fit.
Mr. J. Clay said, that by reducing the
doty 011 coffee, from five to three cents (as
proposed by Mr. Bidwell) the treasury
would lose about 30,000 dollars ann,r'l'.y¦
In some parts of the country, there existed
an oppressive monopoly of domestic manu-
factured salt—Tn some places it had sold as-
high as six dollars a bushel : By taking; clT
the duty entirely, it would tend to lessen
the price of the article. He couid not be-
lieve the gentleman serious in his propositi-
on to reduce the duty on brown sugar : he
thea movpjl t© strikeout the word Salt, on
ppositibn that it would be improper to
take off the duty at this time.

Mr. Dawson presented a " bill to incor-
porate a company for making a turnpike
road from 1 lie west, end of Mason's island
to A lexandria." Referred to a committee
of the whole on Monday.
A '¦ bill authorising a grant of land forthe
use of a hospital at Natchez, allowing addi-
tional compensation to the judges of the
Mississippi territory, & extending the right
of elective franchise therein," was present-
ed, and referred to a committee of the whole
on Wednesday.
Mr. Lloyd presented a petition from sun-
dry inhabitants of Gtueen-Anne's and Tal.
hot counties (Md.) which was referred to
the committee on post-offices and post,
roads.
Several petitions of a private nature were
presented and referred.
