A second survey of the route for n Canal in the
W.nlr.of New York, from Ogdenshnrp on the St
Lawrence river, to Plottsburg on Lalce Cham'
plain, has recently been completed. Tho plan is
found to be perfectly practicable. The distance

The Presidents Message, was published from
Vbo newspaper offices at Baltimore within five

It will he seen on referring to the proceedings
in Congress that tho abolishment of imprisonment
for debt, has thus early in the session of the Na.
tlonnl Legislature, excited that attention which its
importance demnnds, and as there can be no ex
ruse for want of time to discuss the merits of the
subject it Is to be hoped that something definitive
•will be arranged to meet the views of all parties.

Mr. Clny, in n letter to n friend of bis

the proceedings of the election for elec

in the most sanguine terms of the success
of Mr. Crawford for thc l’rcsidcnc y.
PROM MlLLF.DC5F.VIf.LE.
Vt'e learn by n gentleman who lcftMillcdgevillc
on Tuesday morning last, that Jno. Lovell, and
Samuel Jnckson. two of the Commissioners for
Selling frnotlons, In somo of the new counties in
this state, against whom articles of impeachment
have been reported to the l egislature, had arriv
ed, nm) demanded their trial this session. F. F.
Adrian, the other Commissioner, was expected
the next day.—The bill incorporating a General
Canal Company, which has passed the Senate, it
wns thought could not possibly be got through the'
House. Jenck’s bill was expected to pnsswlthout
difficulty. The Legislature hadfixe 1 on This day
lor adjourning; hut should they consent to the
trial of thc Cinnieusionerj, they would be detain
ed some days longer. '• , i
The same gentlemen has politely furnished with
the following Act, exempting aliens from Militia
duty. „ m
V AN ACT,
To exempt aliens residing, or at any
time being within the State of Georgia,
Frmn the performance of ordinary militia
nr other military duty except tho duties
hereinafter specified.
Sec. 1. Be it cnactod by thc Senate and
House of Representatives of thc State of
Georgia in General Assembly met, and it
is hci
uby unacted by the authority of the
«anu—That from and after the passage
of this act, nil aliens residing, or nt any
, being within thc State of Georgia,
THE NATION’S GUEST.
By the proceedings of Congress which
wo this clay publish, it will he seen that
they have unitedly paid thc highest com
pliment to Gen. La Fayette that has ever
been offered to a living individual in this
country, or perhaps in any other. This is
giving La Fayette a good oldi cordial rev
ulutionary shake of the hand. All this is
very wclh hut we trust that Congress are
prepared unanimously, to shew some morn
substantial token of national regard. We
hope that they will bcginVheir legislative
career by a unanimous resolution to this
effect, and shew that Republics so fur
from being ungrateful, anterior to all otk
cr business manifest their gratitude to their
benefactors.
The resolutions that ‘Congress now
adopt, will from the moment of their pas
sage, make a part of American history
and we trust whatever is done, will he
unanimous. La Fayette’s revolutionary
services arc entitled to remuneration
I Should Congress bestow on this hero what
is his due, the muse of history will record
thc fact in ln:r archives, and it will not be
forgotten. The testimonial will hereafter
produce other La Fayettcs; and when
a similar crisis shall await other nations,
our example will be brought forward as a
proof that ingratitude forms no part of thc
Republican character.
IN SENATE. «jv--
Mr. Barbour, from thc Joint Commit
tee appointed to consider and report what
respectful mode it may lio proper for Con
gress to adopt to receive Gen. Lafayette,
made the following report:
“The Joint Committee propose that
each House adopt its own manner of re
ceiving Gen. Lafayette.
“ The Committee
Senate recommend
the Senate invite General Lafayette to
take a seat, such ns lie shall designate, in
the Senate Chamber; that the Commit
tee deliver thc invitation to tho General
and introduce him into tho Senate, and
thc members receive tho General stand
ing.”
In delivering this Report, Mr. Barbour
stated that the JoiqJkCommittce, enter
taining every wish to make tho reception
of General Lafayette as complimentary as
possible, yet found difficulties in the way
of any arrangement for n,joint proceeding,
which were i\;>t easily removable; and it
was therefore thought by thc committee
best for each House to adopt its own ar
rangements nnd its own form in thc re
ception of that distinguished individual.
The report being read; it was
Resolved, unanimously, That thc Senate
do concur therein.
On motion of Mr. Barbour, it was
Ordered, That tho Cotnmittce have
leave to perform the duties nssigned to
them by the aloregoing resolution during
the sitting of thc Senate.
The committee accordingly withdrew.
In pursuance of the motion made yes
terday, to appoint a joint Library Com.

ment of a military post at tho mouth of tho

PRESIDENTIAL.—Tho Charleston
papers state that Louisiana will give two
votes for Mr. Adams and three to General
Jackson, for the Presidency. We think
tins calculation is premature, because we
have before us New-Orlcans papers to thc
24th Nov. which give contradictory state
ments. Thc Courier claims three for Mr.
Adams ; whilst on the other hand thc Ad
vertiser asserts that Gen. Jackson will
receive “ but one vote,” and that there is
“strong probability, Mr Clay will receive
the'other four votes.” Should this be thc

Boat Race.—The New York Gazette of
ffie 8ih iust. says, “ the boat race, which
has so much occupied thc public uttention
for some days, will probably be rowed to
morrow. Capt. Harris of the Hussar,
frigate, saw the Star, [thc American boat]
yesterday, and he has shewn his boat to
several gentlemen. It is, we learn, very
difficult to decide which is the superior
boat; both are fine specimeu3 of art, be
ing very similarly constructed. Thc Star
is rather longer than tlic trigate’s boat
The pending trial is not likely to produce
any had feeling. Thc Whitehallers have
exhibited their boat to'the officers of the
Hussar, and are much 'pleased with their
gentlemanly deportment; and they have
candidly confessed, that they had no idea
<jf seeing such a boat to contend with; and
Trhile their confulencerin success is lessen
ed, yet for the sake bf a trial, they are in-
"Clincd to witness the race,
The boat matched against the Star was

boat clear, before she went down, &. in tips
small boat without chart or^compass, and
dcsti utc of every thing, they reached the
coast of Africa in three days, and, while
scrching lor water, were seized by the
Arabs, and put to bard labour, allowed

On entering thc bar, Mr. Barhopr, Chair
man of the. Committee, announced the
presence of the General in tlic following
words: “We introduce General Lafay

whereupon the President of the Senate
and the Senators rose from their seats,
nnd the General, advancing towards the
Ch'a;r of the Senate, was invited by the
President to take a seat prepared for him

Soon after the General was seated,

On his introduction, yesterday, the
good old General was received us a broth
er, rather than ns a stranger—as one of a
loving family, come from a distant shore,
after a Ions and weary nlisense, to revisit
the friends of his youth. The respect
which has been shewn to him here since
he arrived among’its, is great, but it was
all due.—No parallel case can ever occur.
What has been done cannot bo brought
into precedent ; and there, is no danger, in
paying respect to this worthy ttiun* that

wish for the Senate to adjourn, to afford
the Members on opportunity of paying
their individual respects to General La-

The Senate then adjourned, and the
Senators, individually, beginning with the
President of the Senate, tendered him
their respects, which were cordially and
feelingly reciprocated,
