On the orders of the day being called o-

ver by the chair, the bill for the Continuation of the Cumberland Road, was taken up in committee of the whole, by ayes 57 noes 55. This bill proposes to continue the Cumberland Road from Wheeling to Zancsville, on the west bank of the Ohio a distance of upwards of eighty miles. Mr. Beecher, of Ohio, opened the debate, in a strong appeal on behalf of the western cit-

iizens, their claims on rhe Geneal Govern

ment, for the execution of this measure, partly on account of the very limited expenditure of public money in the West, but mainly on the ground of a grand national policy, in which the whole Union would be benefited. He concluded by moving to fill the blank in the first section of the bill with

200,000 dollars. He was followed by Mr. Cook of Illinois, who proposed a substitute in lieu of the whole bill, from the enacting clause, in substance, to extend the road to the seat of government in Missouri, to pass through the respective seats of government of Indiana and Illinois, the expense to be defrayed in scrip (to the amount of .200,000) issued by the United States, receivable in

payment for public lands, and thc whole to

not prevail- Mr. Trimble confined his re-j

narks, explanatory oi tne supination oi tne

2 per cent, fund, and in opposition to the substitute, as well as the argument of Mr.

Cook, who replied to Mr. T., on what he

called an attack on his common understand

ing, and dwelt on the construction of the compact, granting this fund: but for the purpose of letting the bill progress, and a na

tional obiect be obtained, he said, lie cor-

diallv withdrew his amendment. Mr.

Beecher then offereed an amendment, to strike out that part of the first section of the

bill, proposing to replace from the 2 per

cent, fund, the proposed appropriation of

200,000. On this question, it being found that a quorum was not voting, on motion,

the. committee rose, and had leave to sit a-

gain; and then, at three o'clock, the House adjourned. Wash. Gaz.

Among other establishments in the vicinity, is a white lead manufactory, which annually works about 250 tons of the raw meterial.

Col. I. Lima, savs the National Intelligencer of the 25th ult., first aid to General Paez, arrived in this city Washington on Saturday last.

Great interest has been excited in Eng

land, lately, by the trial and conviction of a

icrson ol the name of Fauntlerov, a part-

ler in a banking House, of high standing,

or the crime of forgery, committed in forg-

ng powers to sell out government stocks.

Notwithstanding the respectability of his connexions, and thc urgent instances for his

pardon, he suffered the punishment of death

"or his crime, in thc presence of an immense

multitude of people, at London, about seven weeks ajro. The crime of forgery, it

seems is, in England, an offence which no

thing but death can expiate. Aui. Int.

Lafayette It is understood that the first

of April is the t ime fixed upon by Lafayette, for visiting thc city of Cincinnati, from which place he will propably make a tour through this and several of the western states. And may we not hope, as this is a point by which he will pass, that he will give this place a call. This is an event we anticipate with pleasure, and it would afford the old soldiers of this district, among which we would make worthy mention of Col. Zebulon Pike, an opportunity of shaking the hand of their old friend and companion in arms. eS8

Internal Improvement. The House of

Representatives of the United States have passed a bill appropriating one hundred and

ffty thousand dollars for the continuation of

the Cumberland Read; and a bill authorizing the subscription of three hundred thousand dollars for stock in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company. By official documents laid before Con

gress, it appears that the whole number of

the Militia of the United States, as enrolled, amount to 1,053,787 men; for the arming of which 15,000 stand of arms were last year appointed. Important Decision. His honor Judre

KENTUCKY.

The Constitutional Court of this state.

composed of Judges Boyle, Owsely and

Mills, notwithstanding their offices were do

clared vacant by the legislature at their

ate session, have manfully determined to

maintain their ground. They met at

r rankfort on the 25th ultimo, organize!

and adjourned until their next term in

course, which will be on the first day of A-

pril ensuing. The "legislative court, as

the Commentator well denominates it, was

to have held its session on the 24th ult. bu

the chief justice, was detained at Cynthian a, as counsel for Desha, w ho wras on his tri

al for the murder of Francis Baker, Esq.

Where these proceedings will end, it is

impossible to say. Meetings have been called in many counties of Kentucky, and

the most pointed disapprobation is express

ed at the conduct of the legislature.

The Jury who tried Desha, have convict

ed him; but Judge Shannon who presided

has granted a new trial an account of

which, with.full notes of the evidence, it is said, has been prepared by Messrs. Dana

and Cowan, and will be printed very shortly. Ib.

proclamation by the President of the Mexi

Alleghany Tunnel. It appears br state

ments on the subject from authentic sources

of information, that the commissioners ap

pointed by government to explore the line

of water communication between the Poto

mac and Ohio rivers, contemplated at the

summit level a tunnel or subterraneous ca nal of nearly four miles to effect a comma

nication between the eastern and western

waters. This, if carried into effect, will be

the greatest work of the kind in the world.

The largest tunnel in England, as yet made,

is one on tne l rent and Mersy canal, which

is 2933 yards. The celebrated tunnel on the Languedoc is only 720 yards. But there is a subterraneous communication now working on the Thames and Medway canal, which will be 4,030 yards through the solid earth, rather more than two miles and a quarter. This is little more than half the distance intended to be excavated on our own contemplated western canal.

To Captains of Steam Boat?, AND Persons wishing to convey Property or have a Passage by Steam Boats, FROM THE TOWN OF LAWREKCEBUKGIX, INDIAIU. r 1HE subscriber being sensible of the great disII advantage that many labour under for the want of a proper mode of hailing Steam Boats, has concluded to erect on the roof of Mr. Gibson's Warehouse, the following Signals, to be understood by Captains of Boats and others, as hereinafter described, to ivit: The White Flag will signify,that there is freight

or passengers to be conveyed vp the river:

The Red Flag will signify, that there is freight

or passengers for descending the river:

When both Flags are up at the same time, it will

be understood, that thero is freight or passengers for both vp and doivn the river.

At night a Light can be seen as you descend

the river, if freight or passengers are wanting to go doicn the contrary if they should want to go lip:

U freight or passengers are for wj and dozen the river, the light may be seen both up and down at the same time. On seeing the above Signals, the Captains of Boats may adopt whatever rae3ns they may think proper, to give notice of their intention to stop at this place. The above Signals can be seen two miles in either direction; and will be punctually attended to, when application is made for freight, to John Gibson. or, for passage, to JAMES A, riATT.

iucsday last was argued before him. wheth-j to be chargeable on thc 2 per cent, fund.

tary duty. The opinion of the Hon. Judge predicated upon thc principle of the "Lex Loci" is, that Aliens are liable to perform military duty. Charleston City Gazette. The number of manufactories in Massachusetts appears by an official account to be 151, possessing an aggregate capital of ,s21 4G5,000. Of these, tix are tor manufacturing glass, and the remainder for iron, wool, cotton, leather, lead, flax, hemp, silk-, wire, salt, S&c., and it is believed the property invested in them considerably exceeds the amountof their charter capital.

Mr. Beecher opposed the substitute as rely

ing on means far too limited for the undertaking. Mr. Jennings of Indiana, objected

to Mr. C's substitute, and spoke of offering

a proviso thereto. Mr. Look endeavoured to show that the 2 per cent, fund, would

prove amply sufficient for the purpose: up

wards ot 100 millions ot acres ol land were unsold, which, at 125 cents, would yield, in process of time, nearly two and a half millions of dollars. Mr. McCoy of Va. spoke to a point in relation to the original pledge by Congress of the 2 per cent, fund, between Indiana and Illinois. He hoped the amendment for keeping the fund pledged would

Steubenville Cloth. We have had an opportunity of examining a piece of domestic broad cloth, made at the factory of Wells and Co., of Steubenville, Ohio, and now at

the shop of Messrs. Tucker and Thompson,

of this city, Washington which surpasses any American cloth we have seen, not only in the softness of its texture, but in the richness and elegance of its finish. It is an additional merit in the manufactures, that this cloth, is made entirely of American wool, and can be supplied to purchasers at the same price with foreign cloth of the same quality. JYat.
