Senate Debate on New Hampshire Claims and Navy Augmentation
The Senate discussion centered on paying New Hampshire claims against the United States and the boundary dispute with Great Britain. Atherton defended the bill, Crittenden opposed, and Westcott supported. The bill failed on engrossment. The Navy augmentation debate continued with Bagby opposing as war or peace measure, while others argued for defense needs. In the House, Oregon talks proceeded with Thurman and Owen outlining claims and notice provisions.

New Hampshire bill rejected. Louisiana election results noted
Washington dispatch notes the New Hampshire bill to grant about $15,000 was rejected. Louisiana held its first piloted election under the new constitution on the 19th, with Isaac Johnson leading in New Orleans against Wm Debuys and Derbigny. Democrats won all four New Orleans senators and most representatives, signaling a democratic edge in the state. The Jeffersonian cites mixed reactions as the city shows a democratic triumph in governor votes, while Rochester reports a robbery case against Dr Brown alias Hatch alias Jones awaiting trial.
