The fe having gratified his wifhes, he ob. laved that Mr. Erfkine, the Britifh Minifler, had recently transferred Rock , putrefied by his father to a large amount in the American Funds, and in con requence propofed the following Refolution t is That provifion ought to be made by law forbid ding all transfers of tight of aflion, and all monies and other property , either real or perfonal, to or by any fabled of the Crown of Great Britain • apd alfo forbidding any Citizen or Refideat of t he United I I - totes, es paying any debt or demand to any (uch • f ." 1 ' f ubj can only give you the words of the National In. ' ' - telligencer upon the bufinefs. " A univerfal fentiment f rays that Paper) was unrefervedly exprefred, that loch a Rep, at this time. was improper. Not a fingle Member fupported the Refolution, but all cenfured its imprudence. The general opinion was, that if perfifled in by the mover, the doors fhould be in fiantly opened, and the refolntions rceeed in public." Mr. Lyon ihtllmithdrew the re lolution, and the galleries were opened, under the underßanding that all fecrecy was at an end. On the 16th, Mr. Dana offered a refolini m, "That • the Committee on Aggreffions be inftrutted to inquire into the expediency of providing for the employment of an adequate force to compel the immediate depar tore of fuck armed foreign 'reels, as may be found remaining within the waters of the United Statkx, in defiance of any interdictory Proclamation duly ined by the Prefident of the United States, and that the Committee have leave to report by bill or otherwife." This propofition was negatived, as was another propofition, fringing from the fame motives, which was brought forward by Mr. Qincey, namely— ', That inquiry fhould be made into the circumfian cet of the attack upon the Chefapeak, the caufes al: lisped for fueh attack, and the means ufed to repel it.' After the latter motion had been related, Mr. qtrince-; again offered it in a modified form, but it was met with a fimilar negative. . , THE EVENING STAR- LONDON.

HOLT IN Roczwris.-.No bawds done at the Stock Exchange. Our Readers may recollea that we Bated form - time ago, on the authority of a letter from Amt ries, that there were people in that country who were anxious to iniolve Britain and America is a war, for the purpofe of avoiding the pliant of their debts to their Britifh creditors. We little ezpeatch however, that while the two countries tfliould remain at peace, any perfon could hare been found who would venture to propofe in Congrefs the pat Eng of loch a law. But fuch a motion has been made, and we hope will produce its proper effelt on our merchants. Go A animal fentiment was unre. feiredly expreffed,• that filch a hp •T Tins lists vas improper."—" At thit tiffse."—The time however may come, and we repeat what we have before Bated, that many people in America, who revel in luxuries purchafed by property belonging to &kith mu., chanty, are doing every thing in their power to fo- went a quarrel between the two countries. It has been currently believed at the India Hoare for tome days, that General Otrotvot arrived at Allrakan fix weeks or two months ago, with his army. • We underhand advice, of this fingular and calamitous • event have b-en received in town. It is new Tome 2nonthi fluke it was publicly known that Outumot, with t a,OOO men, had let nut for the Ealk. We may therefore prefume, that means have been adopted in the proper quarter ' for countera fling the (Netts of his expedition-1f not, a high degree of refponfibility lies foenewherc THE MEDITERRANEAN; The Femme A votraza. met horn Malta, but laa from Gibraltar (in 54 days) has-arrived at Pal. mouth. Beforelhe left Gibraltar, General Moons lbad'arrived there from Sicily with Soo° troops. That Garrifon may therefore be confidered in a Rate of tafety. Getter* Mower, after he reached Gibraltar, pro ceeded in the Commaa frigate to the mouth of the Tagus, and after remaining a day with Sir SIDIIIT SMITH, returned again to Gibraltar. French troops had reached Cadiz. Whether the liege of Gibraltar or the garrifoning of Spain, be their °Nee, it will loon appear. General Sir Huori DALIIIMPLI who commands at Gibraltar, has taken every precaution for the fecurity of his important charge. We learn by the packet that the troops from Malta had bun fent to Sicily, where the troops from Alex andria have alto arrived, and that the Sicilian troops have been transferred to Matta. From this we may infer that there is no intention at prefent of abandon• ing Sicily; and this too gives colour to the opinion, that General Svaacea's Expedition, which went down channel on Tuefday lat•'. with Admiral Sir C. Corrow, is intended for the Mediterranean, to 84 with tbe troops now-at.otirraltar liblipt cialiqhl BO io)iisSo4l.

The deteßation of the Englifh name, arifing from the accounts which had reached Lima, before the arrival of the ji.-hn Parifh, of the pillage and barbarities committed by our troops upon their taking pofelfion of Buenos Ayres, was maul. felted in the molt ardent way by all ranks of people; and at it was a:petted that the capture of Buenos Ayres would be followed by an attack upon Liam ' fuck was the (pith of the inhabitants, that no lets than twenty-five thourand bad volunteered for the defence of the place. When the Joha Peri& left Lima, there was may one Spanint regiment of regu lars in the city.
