In reply to my letter respecting the Plan of the City of Washington, my friend has written, vizt. “Mr. Hill fears it will take 2 months to compleat the engraving and estimates the expence at about 160 Dollrs. No time shall be Lost to have it compleated in his best manner.”

This City wears a very gloomy aspect owing to the late failures, fraudulent conveyances are much talkd of, and one, (suposed from Mr. McComb to his Brother in Canada, for upwards of £70 000 in Real Estate,) it is said might be rendered null provided the Bankrupt Law now Pending in Committee is passd this Session of Congress. Excuse the Liberty I have taken to mention this, of which I am at present unable to form an opinion, and believe me to be with the most perfect respect your ever devoted humble servant.
