Also from Georgetown a significant report on the beginning of plans to develop the permanent site of the Federal Capital: "Last Friday arrived here from Mount Vernon, the President of the United States...set out to view the country adjacent to the river Patowmack in order to fix upon a proper situation for the Grand Columbian Federal City."
