1819. CONGEESS appropriated half a million of dollars for the completion of the turnpike from Cumberland to Wheeling. It was now called the national road. The list of public improvements called for at the last session was laid on the table of the House, but no further action was taken on it. The low state of the treasury was the cause. 1819. CONGRESS passed an act for the suppression of the slave trade. New York and New Jersey had both forbidden the export of slaves from their territory, and ap...plied to Congress to aid in their enforcement. The act gave fifty dollars to the informer for every illegally imported African seized in the United States, and twenty-five dollars for those seized at sea. The President was also authorized to transport them to Africa and appoint agents for their reception there. 1819, FEBRUARY 8. Congress voted a disapproval of the ex- ecution of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, and also of the seizure of Pensacola. 1819, FEBRUARY 22.
