"An attentive phrasal of the documetits, and CA siderable reflectiort on 'the etibpsct, have confirmed the opinion we - expressed same months ago, that'ihe case of these persetts neither required nor permitted the intervention of the 'British or any other fhteign 'Government. It is then a etudetion Entirely between ounelves--between the Officers of Gavernmerit'dtd the.people. «We wish we could say with equal confidence, that 'see entirely approve Of the proceedings Of . the italgt which there men were condemned. We 40 palliate their offence, but to express our dbubte whether their punishment was proeet:y administered. We express our thatches on this-sub ject with much diffidence. Being ignorant of the law martial, we are guided to out decision by tills blished principles Of national and *of civil law, appli cable, we presume, to all criminal trials, by what ever court, in our country. " Arbuthnot merited punishment, ctoubtlest, far his officious intermeddling with the Indians, and For having, under pretence of trading with them, and counselling them to assert their rights, excited them to hocelities against us. It is another question, whe ther his offence was a military one, or properly cog nizable by a military tribunal. leis at least certain, that this person was completely in our power, ar.d that there was no danger of his escape, or of his effecting any thing, while in confinement, prejudicial to the operations of the army. To have him held in confinement, therefore; subject to the directions of higher authority, it appears to us, would have been, if an error at all, an error on the safe side of the question. With respect to the evidence before the Court in this case, our respect for the chanicter of the Officers composing it, obliges us, little conver sant as we have professed to be (and may we long be!) with military law, to presume it was such as the law admits. And this is all we shall say of it. " In the case of Ambrister ' the evidence is conclu sive enough. He was foun d in arms against tl.e United States, and pleaded guilty to the charge of leading the Lower Creeks to battle. He identified himself with the enemy, and subjected himself 'to their fate. Bat when taken, did he not become a prisoner of war, and was he not entitled to the pri vileges Of that character? If so, did he become pro perly the subject of trial by a Cour t-rnartilsi? A 4 We are under the impression, that the offences of both these individuals ware such as it would have been better net to have committed to the judgment of a thilitary tribunal ; but having been so Corr: mitted, that it would have been expedient to have submitted the sentence, L fore execution, .to the highest authority known to the Constitution, for its revision. " On the pilnciple of retaliation, recognized by all nations, these persons, we conceive, might have been lawfully put to death. They had identified themselves with the Indians ; and, though claiming themselves to hc Briiish su=ejects. did not proVeihern selves to be such, and Vivre, according to oar do:- trine on the subject of 'allegi.uice •actually expa triated. The military practices Of the Indians. con trary to the laws of war, the Commanding Ceovral had a clear right to retidiate. did so in the of the Indian Chief Francis Iloinathleinee, and might have done so in the case of Arbutlinoi Ambrister. In being brought to the bar of a Court martial, hriwever, did they not become subject to the operation of our laws applicable to 'heir ca.,e?— And is there any law . .on our Statute-book 1 , 'Lich embraces it? The whole subject is full of difficall , y. 14 In regard'to the decision of the General with re spect to the sentence on Ambrister, which appe to have attracted much notice, it is proper to observe, it was fro doubt dictated by a regard to the wishes of the prisoner, who preferreJ death to the ignominicus punishment for which that fate was commuted by it:o Court. Whether this was a sufficient justification o f the discussion, we shall not undertake to pronout;ce." CONGRESt-THE SENATE. The occupation of Florida was brought before tf e Senate on 'lOnday the 7th, when Mr. JOHNSON 144 upon the table the following Resolution : " Resolved—that the Committee on Military Affairs be in. ;at actz‘l to inquire into the expediency of passing a Law, a-atho ri:'.rg esi.lent of the Unitea St:tj to take provisional poisessian of East t, or of su•li ars of it as he may duals now or _fter, to controul the Indians, and to prevrot them from comntiothe host:lities against the Citizens of tit: - initei States." HOUSE 4.5 F REPRESENTATIVES, DECEMBER it Mr. HOLMES, Chairman of the Committee on 1.0. reign Relations, rose to submit to the House a diffi culty -.vhich embarrassed the proceedings of the Com mittee of which he was Chairman. - In the investiga tion of some of the subjects referred to that Com mittee, it found those subjects so intimately connected with some confided to another Committee, that it was difficult to proceed without infringing on matters not referred to its consideration. He alluded to the subject of the Seminole war. Thast war involved our relations with a foreign Power, which were committed to the Committee of .Foreign Relations; but an ira. portant incident in that war, thaexecution of Arbuth r not and Ambristcr, was confided to the Milita r y Committee ; and, in proceeding on one subject, any could not well avoid the other.
