Removal of the Seat of Government.
The House then resolved itself into a committee on the bill to make further progress for the removal and accommodation of the Government of the United States.
A motion was then made to fill a blank for the accommodation of the household of the President, about which considerable conversation occurred; when Mr. Rutledge moved that the committee rise, in order that time may be given for learning the amount of money wanting for this object, and because he supposed the Chairman of the committee, who was absent, might be able to give that information. The motion was afterwards withdrawn, but renewed by the Speaker, and at length carried.
