(c It appears that Congrefs
is determined from their pro
ceedings to have a free trade
up the M.ffiffippi. In conie
quehce of the late proceedings
at New-Orleans the prefiJent
of the United States has nomi
nated James Munroe, minißer
extraordinary and pknipoten
tiary to France and Spain, in
addition to cur’s already at thofe
places. We have had clofed
doors on that fubieft three dif
ferent times during the fefTion,
but expt 6t the injuriftion of fc
crecy will be taken off before
the adjournment of Congrefs,
and the whole of the proceed
ings publ.fhed.”
It is Rippofed that an Attempt
will be early made in the pre
fen t ilffion of congrefs by the
republicans, fo to amend the
c nftitution, that the votes of
the debtors for Prefident and
Vice Prefident may deßgnate
the perfons intended for each
fituacion. It may be remem
bered that Mr. Stone was the
only democrat in either houfe
oppofed to that amendment laR

A remarkable faff has juR

clue to many others equally fo.
During the fcfilon of Congrefs
in this city in 1798-9 in parti
cular, a number of communica
tions on various fubjefts, moß
ly political, were fent lor pub
lication in the Aurora, written
in a difguifed hand, and without
denature —whole flieets oi uiele
communications were rejected
from the indecency of their
content 0 , and from other mo
tives. We have feen the forged
letters to the pr:fluent ct tLe
United States, laid to be written
by John Rutledge, member of
Congre-fs, and find the writing
perfectly agrees with that of the
communications lent tor publi
cation in the Aurora. [Anvera.
