is a picture of the Observer's veracity. Mr.
Oi'obmbndoe, she likewise informs you, ^to
pnive the same point) has no ehcou/age-
jiient in his art. How true or false that may
be, I cannot say ; hut if it is a fact I am
sorry for it ; his abilities merit a better fate.
He is an excellent landscape painter—a
friendly, ingenious and honest man—and if
he is really neglected by the publick, he may
ascribe- it to the friendship of the Observer ;
and never had man more reason than he
has, to exclaim with Philip of Macedon—i
" 0 ! ye Gods, what have I done that this
person should speak well of me." For my
own part I freely confess, that the Observer
has rendered me essential service ; and " hilst
uiy unsuspecting rival was gratefully bo ¦-
itig to the flattering encomiums of his
friendly female Critick, I was reaping all
the advantage of her scurrilous and witless
opposition. The Connoisseurs of Baltimore*
Will not be dictated to by insolence and
abuse.
FRANCIS GUY.
November 13, (17) 1807.
" On Friday last," says the National In-
telligencer, ' we understand, the Secretary
of the Navy laid before the committee of
the House of Representatives on aggress,
-ssoiis, a detailed statement of the circum-
stance* attending the outrage committed on
the Chesape ike, together with those which
occurred prior and subsequently to that e-
fent."
[We have not room to-day for this docu-
ment. The following is an extract from tt.J
" 35. The curt is therefore of opinion,
that the Chesapeake was prematurely sur-
rendered, at a time when she was nearly
prepared for battle, and when the injuries
sustained either on the ship or the crew did
not make such a surrender t hen necessary; &
that for this commodore Barron falls under
a part of the sixth article of the rules and
refrulations for the government of the navy
of the United States, adopted by an act of
the Congress of the United States, passed
on the 23d of April, 1800, entitled," An
act for the better government of the navy
of the United States."
For tub FEDERAL G ZETTE.
Peparted this life, on the night of Thurs-
day last, in the 63d year of his age, DA-
NIEL BOWLEY, Esq. of Furley Hall,
bis seat of residence, near this city.
In the discharge of the various duties of
husband, father, relative, friend or master,
he was equalled by few, surpassed by none.
*¦ So well sighted were the eyes of his mind,
that be saw life in death, exaltation in fal-
ling, and a glorious light in the midst of
darkness."
Of incorruptable integrity, of inflexible
jnorals oossessing a mind too strong to be
trammelled by the prejudices, feducation,or
the preaching of Fanaticism, his religion
was the offspring of reason,enlightened by re-
vel ition, and bottomed on the holy basis of
Universal Redemption. He believed (as
(he author of this ir adequate tribute to his
memory doth believe) that the gates of Hea-
ven are wide, and the avenues many, which
lead to that happy Place ; " and depended
for his comfort on the merciful and Almighty
Governor of the world, who if we have but
done our duties in it, will never inquire,
•whether we have done them in a red c>at or
in a black one" or whether we are followers
ct a particular sect, or in equal fellowship
with all.
His charities were diffusive, and more
than sufficiently brotid for his fortune, splen-
did as it was ; yet were they of that unos-
tentatious kind that they would have remain-
ed hidden fore.ver, but for the number of in-
dustrious poor, who thronged about his re-
sidence on the day of his interment, to
manifest their gratitude to a lost patron and
protector. His public spirit and enterprize,
have already been the theme of some friend-
ly, and more able pen, who hath comme-
morated them in terms not less impressive
than true. Devoted to the cause ol liberty,
and the principles of the American Revolu-
tion, he. was selected on a trying crisis of
that eventful acra, both by the state of Vir-
ginia, and his native state, to superintend
certain naval equipments, which duty he dis-
charged with honor to himself, and public
approbation. He was a real American in
every sen e of the word ; and although he
Coald not accommodate himself to the level-
ling piecepis of the day, his attachments to
his country v. as ardent and active, hallowed
by h: bjt, ahd superior to the spirit of party.
Such was the man, to whose memory is.
offered this feeble tribute of respect. " Yet
hath he gone and left ns to mourn ; gone
ttv a gainful remove from painful labor to
quiet rest; from unquiet desires to happy
contentment: from sorrow to joy, and from
?ransitory time to immortality."
CONGRESS. '
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From our Correspondent.
Washington, November 16.
Proceedings this day.
Sir. J. Clay submitted a resolution of some
length, directing the secretaries of war and
the navy to by before the house a statement
of certain expenees incurred in their respec-
tive departments for the three years ending
the 30th day of September last. Agreed to.
Mr. Bard offered the following resolution :
Resolved, That the committee of comnurce
and manufactures be directed to inquire into
¦ the expediency of grafting a bounty on Salt
which may be manufactured within the U.
S. and that (hey report by bill or otherwise.
, This resolution was ii-..ctee!, ayes 47, noes
60.
Mr. M. Clay offered the following resolu-
tion, which was adoptedi and, ¦' committee
of 7 members appoiifi i accordingly ; lie-
solved, That a committee be appointed ft>
inquire whether any, #ndj if any, what al-
tera: ions are necessary to be uuule iu the
Militia Law, and that they 'nave leave to re-
port by bill or otherwise..
Mr. U A'l.i 3 Ad he had drawn up ?. resolution
for the purpose of calling the attention of a
Com mi: tev 0f that house to a subject highly
interesting tb bur national sovereignty; but
as he did not see the ciiuim'10.11 of that com-
mittee in his place, he would not cull up' the
resolution at present, but would merely leave
it on the table.
The resolution is in the following words :
Resolved, That the committee to whom v.ers
referred so numb of the message of 'he pre-
sident of the United States, as relates to ag-
gressions within our ports and waters, to
violations of our jurisdiction, and to measures
ttecessery for the protec ion of our ports
and harborf be instructed to inquire into
tile expediency of providing for the employ-
ment of adequate force to compel the imme-
diate departure of such armed foreign vessel*
as may be found remaining within the wa-
ters of the United States, in defiance of any
interdictory proclamation duly issued by the
president of the United States, and that the
committee have leave to report by bill or
otherwise.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the report of the committee
of elections on the petition of JOSHUA
BARNEV.
Mi. Bibb spoke against the reasoning con
tained in the report of that committee, but
in favour of th« election .f Win. MacCreery
He renewed his motion (made on Friday last)
declaring that " William MacCreery was
duly elected according to the tutus of Maty-
land, and is entitled to a seat i:i this house."
Mr. Hibb was followed by Messrs. Gtuin-
cey, Nelson, Findley, Sloan, Holland and
Key. Mr. K. made a most able speech
against the constitutionality of the law of
Maryland. The debate continued about 8
hours and a half; when, on motion of Mr.
Smihe, the committee of the whole rose,
reported pregress and obtained leave to sit
again. The house then adjourned (about
half after three o'clock) without taking the
question on Mr. Bibb's amendment.
