THURSDAY, December 29. GEORGE HANCOCK, from Virginia, appeared, and took his seat. _Canadian Refugees._ Mr. WILLIAMS moved for the order of the day, that the House resolve itself into a committee on the reports of committees to whom were referred the petitions of sundry refugees from Canada and Nova Scotia. The first resolution read from the last report of the select committee on this subject, was in these words: "_Resolved_, That the prayer of the Petitioners, Joseph Green and others, from Canada, praying a bounty in lands and other pay, for services rendered in the late war with Great Britain, ought not to be granted." This resolution was agreed to. The second was thus: "_Resolved_, That a tract of land, not exceeding ---- acres, be laid off north-west of the Ohio River, beginning at the mouth of the Great Miami, and extending down the Ohio, not exceeding three times the breadth in length, be immediately appropriated to compensate the refugees from the British provinces of Canada and Nova Scotia, pursuant to the resolves of Congress of the 23d of April, 1783, and the 13th April, 1785." Mr. WILLIAMS hoped the situation of the land would not be mentioned in the resolution; there were many circumstances that would render it unnecessary and improper. Mr. HARTLEY wished to know where the land was to be, because the value of the land in different places was various; he thought they ought to have land: he would not be thought to object to the resolution. Mr. VENABLE did not think it necessary to mention at this time what land should be appropriated for this purpose. A bill would be introduced in a few days, it could then be determined. If there were objections to appropriate the land mentioned, he hoped gentlemen would then propose a spot that would suit every conveniency better. These people, he said, ought to be satisfied: it was time they were. Mr. DAYTON said, that the Chairman of the committee said there was no land near Lake Erie of that description belonging to the United States; he wished to know what foundation the assertion had? Mr. GREENUP said, the committee had made what inquiry they could on the subject, of persons well informed, who told them there was no land belonging to the United States of that description.
