Tomb If JTashingfon.--1t is rumored, that
party, consisting of about thirty members
of Congress, of both Houses, wishing TO vis-
it the tomb of Washington, hired the steam
boat "Enterprise." and proceeded in herto
Mount Vernon, on the l4th inst. After the
boat had gone some distance, and before
thcy reached Mount Vernon, it was stated
to them by the Captain, that Judge Wash


nston, the proprietor of the place, had tor
bid persons from landing from on board OF
steam boat, at Mount Vernon. The gentle
men thinking that refusal could not be CIV.
EN-, appointed a Committee, consisting OF


three OF their body, to wait upon Judsc:
Washington. and to ask the permission Of
him, of paying their respects to the seat OF
the deceased Father OF their Independence
This was done in the most polite and respect
full manner by the committee, who went on
shore for the purpose, the other gentlemen


remaining on board the steam boat. nc
permission was refused, and it is said, thc


Committee was not treated with common
politeness, and the refusal WAS accompanied
by threats Of instituting suits, &c. Is 1t pos
sible that this report is true? If so, ou5hs
it not to be good reason why Congress
ought to remove tho remains of Washington
from place to which his grateful country.
men cannot SO to perform that pilgrimabs
which will be made, as long as gratitude isa
virtue, or love OF country, warns the Doso''
of an American. For the honour OF ,hs
name of "Washington," we can scarcely pS.
lievc the report, and yet, it comes from s'c''


authority VIC cannot doubt it.--,SHf Na'
