I i ' VVcdnefday, Dee. 10. The only buimefs, except fuch as was ot a triV2te nature, which oc- cupied -theihoufe, was the bill for creeling a Nlaufoleurn to thc.rnemory of Gcorgej Wafhington. The mo tion to amend the bill, by inferting Monument, in the place of Maufo leum, being under confideration, Mr. Alfijon hoped thaf jwhen he firft mad this motion, that a quef tion would have been taken upon it without debate ; but this ndt having been the cafe, he held it his duty to give to th fioufe hisreafonsfor mak ing it. H by no means wifhed to detraft any thing frem the merit of the illuftrious Wafliington j on the contrary, it was his delfire: that his character njight be Kaned rjew to tht lateft pqfterity unimpaired, and he though the amendment. equally calculated to produce thiseffe& With the bill ; that the difference of ex pence was i matter bf importance to the pcorile of this country ; that the cxpcncr oij a fviauioicum, irom tne be ft information he had been abl to collect, would! amount, at leaft,to 15,0 or 20o,;oco dollars ; that a Mo nument, fuch as vas conterhplaUd by, the ameodment, .wauld not cofl more than ona-tenth as much. In deed, he believed, that the hare ex pence of interring I the remains of ihe General in a Maufoleuni, would Cft as much as the propofed Mo nument. A corhmittee, Mr; A. faid, had flly inveftigated the fubiefl at the laft feiTibn of Congrefs.and made a report recommending the plan of a Monument iuch as was nw in tended, an4 the requeft made by the Prefident f ihe Uj States'lt 'Mrs. Wafliington, Jin conformity to the report of that committee, was for a Monument towiuch reqjueft fh had cOnfentedl He therefore confi dered CcngVeis as pledged thus far, aid no fartieif.: A motion was af terwards made to change the Monu ment to aMaufoleum,whicli from the, enthufiafm f the moment, ivas car ried ; but trie intenm had ifFdrded time for reflection, on the expence w hi c h f u c li 1 i rriea f u rewoul dinvolve. Much had Been faid on .the fuVjeci of public gtatitudeji Itj wasfby ho means aiis intention leflen that ferttiment, butjhe could nbt give his content to an expcnfive meafure, like that contemplated, bthe bill, whea a far lefs expehfive c ie, inhis opmion, would anfwer evsry pur- pofe as well. ; Jfr. Alfton was followed by Mr. Huger, who advocated the Maufo- Ieum. i. Mr. Smihe replied! Gene- ral Lee; next fpoke at feme ength in favour of a Maufoieum. ahd read a letter received from f.ir. King, our AmbafTaddr at , London, inclolihg a plan presented to him by an emi nent foreign artift, for a Maufoleum of. i 50 feet bafe; and the fame 'height, the! expence of which was eftimated at 570,000 dollars. Ivlr. Champlin, after fome remarks the indiftinft hearing f which did notienablc.the reporter to determine on which fide he fpoke, moved that the committee r,ifc? in order that the bill might be recommitted. The co-mmittee role accordingly, and.the bill; was re-conimited to the com mittee who reported it, with the ad dition of two members, viz. Meffrs. Claiborne and Champlin. Mr. Claiborne then moved that the committee jufl appointed, Be in ftrufted to enquire into the expedi ency of carrying into efFeft a refo lution paffed by the jold Congrefs, on the tk of ' Auguftjj 1783, directing an Equcflrian Statue of Gen. Wafti ingtons to be erefted at the place where the refidence of Congrefs lhall be eaabhihed. Mr. C. re gretted, that on a fubjedt which could--not fail to excite the fenfibi Jjty of every American KeartJ that there fiiould be any diviflon of fen- tirnent. The memory of our de parted patriot lives1 in the affeftions of a grateful country, and will tri umph over tinie.

But, from a icipcwt lor our own, as weii as ror the feelings of the nation, we mould endeavour to uaitii in the lafi. aft of attention which wie propole to hew this venerable character.
