Nothing appears to be more reafonable and proper, rhan that convenient accom¬ modations ft; mid be provided, on a well dige-ted plan, for the heads of the fevcr¬ al departments, and for the Attorney- General j a;id it is believed that the pub 'lie ground in the city, applied to thofe lobjefts, will be found amply fufitcient. {Submit thin fubject to the confidera¬ tion uf Conj/rcfs, that fuch further pro- jvifion may be made in it, as to thera ma/ feera proper.
