Article from a historic act detailing authorization for a turnpike road from Georgetown through Tennallytown to the Maryland line. Provisions grant government powers to construct and operate, permit toll collection at designated gates, and define jurisdiction across the District of Columbia and Maryland. Names cited include H. Clay as Speaker and E. Gary as President of the Senate.
A fragmentary act outlines five regiments raised by prior law to be enlisted for the defense of the sea board or other areas the President designates. Recruits receive bounty, pay, clothing, subsistence, and are to be treated as regular troops with comparable rules and regulations. James Madison is cited in the closing.
An act of Congress grants relief to Alexander Phoenix and William Nexen junior, insolvent debtors jailed for U S debts. It frees them from imprisonment, while preserving the United States' lawful claim on any property they own or acquire to satisfy the debts, costs, and charges. The act does not impair federal rights to recover any estate.
The House debated military bills and probes into army furlough rules and enlistment expansions. A two-part Hanson resolution sought information on diplomatic issues with France and the French minister, with part of the motion rejected after a divided vote and adjournment.
The Senate, in committee of the whole, amended and engrossed a bill authorizing a five year or wartime enlistment term for regiments, with bounty payments and land grants. The House also debated pay and bounty scales, passing the bill after adjustments. A military-lengthy report followed detailing recent frontier defeats, militia mobilization, and cautions on public disclosure of strength.
