It is with pleasure we inform our Fellow Citizens, that it is PROBABLE the New Congress may yet meet at New-York.
On Monday last, when the question was under consideration for filling up the blank in the ordinance for organizing the New Government, where the New Congress should meet, it was carried for "BALTIMORE" seven to six.
On Tuesday a motion was made for reconsidering the question, and lost.
Yesterday the same ordinance being still under consideration, a motion was made for striking out "BALTIMORE" and inserting "NEW-YORK"—which was carried by seven states—New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, and South-Carolina, voting in the affirmative :—Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North-Carolina, in the negative, and Georgia, divided.
The business is not yet closed :—and tho' we cannot with certainty say that the Resolution will go out in its present form, yet there is good reason to think it will not be altered.
