" Rhinebeck, Sept. 20th, 1807. " I have sold all the wool of ftiy Spanish sheep to Mr. Dando, a hatter in New York. for I dollar 50 cents per lb. washed. My brother (Chancellor Livingston) st-ld his, unwashed- to a Mr. Booth, a clothier near Poughkeepsie, for 1 dollar 25." These facts are dem mstration in point to establish the importance of the Merino Spa- nish sheep, and cannot fail to arouse the farmers to their true interest. The farmers of the country of Berkshire, in Massachusetts, are commencing this important cnterprize, T.'hich will doubtless pr we of more value to ¦the country at lar^e, than if they had sprung « mountain of gold. CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. From our Correspondent. Washington. November 30. Proceedings this dry. Mr. Cook observed, that the house had heen sometime in session, and had done no- ¦ thing on the great national question for which they had assembled. Some were in want of the information necessary, and some perhaps oi the disposition la act. For the purpose of gaining that information, he sub- mitted the lotlowing resolutions : I. Resolved, that the Secretary of the na- vy be directed to lay before this house, a statement of the number of frigates and o- ther ar»ied vessels composing the navy of the II, S. distinguishing those in actual ser- vice from those in ordinary and those in want ot repairs, the sums necessary to put them in actual service, and the time r.ctes- sajy for malting such repairs. 2. Reiolved, that the Secretary of the na- vy be dirce'ed to jay before this h.use, a 'statement, of the number ol officers and men 111 pcctivelv. belonging to the navy of the U. ¦ States and of u*e n.aviie'.cur^.. He thought e had slept long enough : He- feared we might sleep the sleep of death. Mr. Miln-r thought the motion of hia colleague (Mr. Sm he) vrry extraordinary. Notwithstanding the gentleman's great an- tipathy to a navy, he was surprised that lie should be unwilling to grant the house the information now required. Whether the na- vy was to be increased or annihilated, it was necessary for the house to pos e s the infor- mation requested in the resolutions. He believed there were not ten gentlemen on the floor who knew the present sitnati n of our naval affairs, how many vessels were in actual service, how many were in ordinary, or how many were rotting.—It had been said on the last day the iionse were in ses- sion, that we were on the eve of inr; he believed one gentleman had said, that v. c were actually at war : In this situation, a gentleman e mes forward and objects to the call for necessary information respecting the present state of our defence ; and particular- ly when the winter was approaching, at which time the difficulty of repairing our vessels will be so greaty increased. Mr. Mumi'ord said the . house had been a month in session, and had done nothing, although the nation was continually looking up to the house for somethiug to be done.. "He hoped the house would immediately pro- ceed to the defence of the nation. Look at the preparations in Canada and Nova Scotia, where troops have arrived, and others are expected. 26,000 men, too, were said to be destined for South America, when they might in fact be destined for the W. Indies; and fourteen sail of the line were said to be destined for the West Indies, w'hen in fact they might be to blockade our own ports. Mr. Dana said that the object of the re- solutions was merely to gain official inform- ation ; he thought them important, as our affairs were certainly in a v«ry ddicate situ- ation. Some gentlemen had said that we were on the eve of a war ; If so, we should surely know our means of defence. If it was improper in the house to know the rueans, it was improper in the president to commend the subject to their consideration. Mr. Smilie said, that if the gentleman from New York. (Mr. Mumford) supposed that he was opposed to putting the country in a state of defence, he was incorrect; he thought that in our present critical situation, we ought to proceed as if we were actually at war. But he did not think that fltets were the best mode of defence ; he believed that our ports and haibors ought to be tor tii.ed. Mr. Smilie's motion to postpone was lost. Mr. Cook said he consented to withdraw the first resolution, at it appeared the house bad received a letter from the secretary of the navy, giving the information required by it : but he hoped the house would adopt the others. The question was then taken on the three remaining resolutions and they were agreed to. Mr. Porter presented a petition from the coppersmiths of Philadelphia, prayiug that the petition of PauJ Riviere and others, of Boston (praying that a duty may be im- posed on imported copper) may not be granted, referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures. The house went into committee of the whole on the second report in part of the committee of aggressions (published in the Federal Gazette of Thursday last ) Mr. Blount (of N. C.) moved to fill the bland in the first resolution appropriating a sum of money for the repair and erection of TOKTiFJOvrtoNS, with " 7,TO,000" dollars. Mr. Masters (N. J.) moved to fill it with " 1,500,000." Mr. Gardinier (N. Y.) moted to fill it with " 4,000.000." These several motions occasioned a debate of some length. They were afterwards withdrawn, and the resolution was agreed to by the house, with- out rilling up the blank, in Order that the blank might be tilled in the bill to be bro't in for the purpose. The second resolution (appropriating--------- dollars for the building of Gunboats) was also agreed to in the same manner, ayes 92. The committee of the whole then rose, and reported their agree- ment to the resolutions, in which the house concurred, and the resolutions were referred to the committee who reported them, for the purpose of bringing in a bill. The house then adjourned (a little after three o'clock.) matter of course —But those ho were ac- quainted withhim, knew him to be" an Is- raelite indeed, in whom there was no gtnlc." The widow's and the orphan's friend, he al- ways contributed his mite to the relief of the distressed. These good qualities he possessed in an eminent degree. He labour, ed with hisowi hands daily, until the mid- dle of April last, when he was attacked with the palsey, .vhich disease put a period to the existence of this excellent man. No doubt remains with the writer of this, but he has received the comfortable s lutation of " well done thou :>od and faithful servant ; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will,make thee- rui»r over many things—en- ter thou into the joys of thy Lord."
