' HOUSE OF BEPItESENTATlVES.
.' Mm day 1 May 3L -
- .
Several peti;ions of a private nature
were presented and referred.
V - -SIEN0UUAPHER3.
: Mr. Grosvenor presented ihe -Deti-
lion of George Richards, ataUng, that
I ha had dating the last session reported
the proceedings of the House for the
f Federal Republican newspaper; and
that on applicaiion atthe present ses
sion for the hkc privileges, M had been
excluded bj the decision of the lion
Speaker ; . and praying to be admitted
heretofore for the purpose of report
ing debates.
I Mr. Gtosvenor moved to refer the
petition to a select committee,
j Mr. Grundy, remarked, that this was
ione of thvso questions which there was
no .occasion to refer to a committee, as
the House were ti well qualified to de
cide on it as any committee could be.
Mr. Grosvenor 'ujged the reference
' ot this memorial to a committee a the
best mode of ascertaining whether other
stenographers could be admitted on the
' floor con f siendy .with the convenience
of the Housei and a course, which would
j be, perhaps, more deCoroua to the chair
' than any other. .
Mr- Troup suggested the propriety
of teferring the memorial to a com rait-,
lee of the whole He said the paper
and the mode, of its introduction into
the J louse were calculated directly or
fadifectly to convey to. he House and
to the public ran intim-tion that the
Speaker hd actd with inju lice in re
lation to the individual petitioning. It
seemed proper, therefore, that the
Speaker should have an opportunity-of
cjamujpuc rouuos on wmcn ne bad
acted. ,
Tnis course, after a desultory debate,
waa pursued.
The Houe having resolved itself in
to a. commit ec ; .
Mr Grosvenor moved the following
resolution c
Jitfd, That George R!chaM be ad
milted on the floor of ibis Hou.e as a steno
grapher, and that the Spciker be requested
to Msijrti hira a placa thereon." . .
X Mr. Clay (Speaker) alter; observinrF
Khat,irj his opinion, an importance had
been given to this pcution which did
not well comport wirh the dignity of the
House, stated theground on which the
decision had been made by him of ? hich
the peduooer complained ; which was
simply this x that m consequence of the
recent alterations m .the House seats
had beep arranged for but four stenogra-hers---and
to those places he had as
signed the 'appUcimts' according to sis
niotity ; all ofwhom having Tecn of
"had(5y this arrangement beeo excluded.

J After further debate, in. which it was
said by several gentlemen. that to adopt
any step in consequence of the petition

In this estimate the whofe auni of !five
millions of dollirs authorised to be issued in
Treasury Notes, is taken as a part of the re
sources of thep resent -year. But as it is not
deemed eligible to encrease ihe runount" of
Treasury Notes ;n circulation,': and as three
millions only df those authoriitd by tbe acf
of I812ere issued in that yearnd are re
imbut sable in thecourse of tbe finteht yesr,
rt is respectfully sbggested-tbat injlieu of is
suing: two millions of the five millions autho
rized by thevact of February 113 Congress
sfiould authorize an additional' loan for the
same amauntit being made a condition of
such loan that its terras should not be'hjgh
er than those of the loan of sixteen millions
already effected. ! - ' ' ' ' ' -
The provision already considered is for
the service of the present year only" that
whicb.will be necessary for the year 1814
requires an early attention It ia difficult to
estimate with accuracy the sum which will
be received into the Treasury from the reve
nue as now established, During a state of
war. the customs, at the present rate of
ties, have been heretdfore ?siimatefi to pro
duQcfiye millions of dollars, ilife additioriv
aV tonnage duty imposed upon foreign ves
sels by the act of the 1st of uly,; l812, pro
ductng about 200000 dollars a y ear, is not
included in that sum. . It is believed that du
ring the year 1814, a greatetsum than 'five
millions two hundred thousand dollars ought
not to be relied upon as - receivable into the
Treasury from custom house duties, t he
sum arising Jrom sales of public lands may
be estimated at six-hundred thousand dol
lars, making'together5tW5O,t)0p dollars. The
interest alone, on tbe publtcfunded debt 'on
temporary loans and on the Treasury Notes,
which will become payable in thxtyear, wrll
kmount to four.millions four hundred tho'u.
sand dollars.. The other engagements oij
account of the principal of the fundVd debt,
of temporary loans, and of 1 reasury Notes,
which wdl become reimbursable in thktyear,
amount to 7 150,000 dollars, exceeding to
gether, by more than; five millions seen hun
dred thousand dollars, the estimated amuunt
of the receipts into the Treasury derived
ffom the revrriue as now established.
This view of the subject is susovient tde-
vince the necessity of a spsedjf and effectual
pro vision for the service -of that and the en
suing years. . The mode and ihe ex ent to
which this provision should be , carried, have
been heretofore suggested from tjiis' depart
ment to Congress, ami ,have . received ; the.
consideration of. that body. ,Tbe expences
of the peace establishment of the 01 states,
and the ititere.t on the pubfiexlebt including
that on tbe. loans made for' ihe prosecution
of the war, art believed to. be the least sum
that ought, under any circumstances,? be
raised within each year. These, il-the ex.
oences of the neace establishment are taken
at the sum necessary for the ordinary expen
diture of the United States previously to the
additional armaments made in the year 4812,
with a view to an approaching state , of war,
and including the interest oh the, loans of
the years 1 612 and ib 13, and. also of that
fVhich will prooably be necessary in the j-ear
1814, 'will amount, daring 'that year, to ele.
