is said to have reached A ntigrja via St.'' roix.
A passenger in'thf Catharine "thinks the
date of the latest paper received there was
December 10," which is 4 days later than
those received at N. York.
The second November packet had not
atrived at Barbados ; where serious appre-
ons were entertained for her safety, as
there were many of the enemy's privateers
cruising to windward.
The City Council commenced its session
yes'evi.!; y. B*tTZBR StijJEFEKft, esq. Was e-
lectod President of the First Branch, and
James Calhoun; esq. President of the Second
Branch. The following communication was
laid before Lie.a by the Mayor.
MAYOR'S COMMUNICATION.
Gentlemei' of the City Council,
IN entering noon the annical leport,
required to be made by the act of incorpora-
tion, 1 fiiid sufficient cause to congratulate
you upon the uninterrupted health which
the city has enjoyed, during the whole of
the past yeai ; open its prosperous ,.r;d im-
proving trade ; upon its increased w
upon die progress of the works of a pub-
lic nature, commenced and promoted by
its inhabitants, for securing a regulai and
.plentiful supply of wholesome water, ami
for extending the benefits of its Commerce ;
upon the harmony that pervades social in-
tercourse, and the spit it of industry a ad
improvement that is every where perceived.
For circumstances so favorable to our city,
I devoutly mingle my gratitude with yours,
to that benignant Providence whose w isdom
is ever directed to the least communities, as
¦wellas to the greatest.
The act of the Genera] Assembly of Ma-
ryland, entitled " An additional supple-
ment to ari act, entitled ' An not to
Baltimore Town, in Baltimore county, into
a city, and to incorporate the inhabitants
thereof," passed in November sesS'On, 1803,
proposing certain, alterations to be made in
the charter, .s, according to its purport to
Vie submitted to the consideration of the
first Branch of the City Council. I submit
it, therefore, in the confidence that whate-
ver may be the determination relative to
these alterations, it will br founded in wis-
dom, and a just view of the interest and
welfare of the city.
Although itis tiotwithin the powers grant-
ed to this corporation, to render the institu-
tbr the support of the poor moreper-
: may not he unworthy your in-
n-city council have power
to ni; ! i,ion for the protection and
main:. of unfortunate helpless mani-
acs, toi '... .ay of whom have appeared in our
street ;, to the dread of some, and anno
of many of our fellow-citfaens, Humanity,
it would seem, requires that sore
should be done upon, this subject, either by
individuals, ov by the city corporation. Our
city hospital, if ever designed as a recepta-
cle of deranged persons (and it would appear
that this was one object i ate tided to be ac-
complished ! by those who cause I it to he
erected) is very badly constructed for the
purpo , so much of that act
as constitute'; what is Called the "• I 1
dollar law."
Mr. Goldsborongh offered a new section,
to repeal the eighth section of the aforesaid
act, so as to allow justices of the iieae
jurors, in the district of Columbia, the same
fees as they were formerly entitled to, un-
der the laws of Maryland, which was adopt-
ed. The committee of the whole then rose,
and reported their agreement to the biil,-with
the amendment, in which the house concur-
red, and ttie bill was ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading to-morrow.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the bill to prohibit the importation
of slaves, after the 3 'St December 1807.
Mr. Early offered an amendment, provid-
ing, that all slaves brought into the United
States should he forfeited, to be disposed of
as the laws of the several states might direct.
This amendment occasioned considerable
debate : it was advocated hy Messrs. Early,
Marion,, J. Clay, Holland, and Alston, and
opposed by Messrs. Snulie, I;idweU, Sloan,
Bedinger, and Goldsborongh. Before the
question was taken upon it, Mr. D. R. Wil-
liams moved that the committee of the
whole rise, rep'-rt progress, and ask leave to
sit again, which was carried ; and then tbv
house adjourned.
