Perhaps there was never exhibited in the deliberative Legislative As sembly of a people pretending to be free, a more sin gular and disgraceful scene than that of last night. Before Members had an opportunity to propose many important Amendments for the relief of the merchants from seizures, under the operation of the law, the bill was engrossed for a third reading, by direction of Mr. Eppes, as afterwards avowed ; and it may be judged, by every candid man, of the miserable chance of succeeding in any Amendment, however just and reasonable, and however well supported by argument, when it is evident, from having in so early a stage en grossed the bill, that it was the fixed determination of the majority to pass it in that form and no other.— Notwithstanding this, however, many Gentlemen of the minority were determined to do their duty, and to test the sympathy of the majority for, or to speak with more propriety, their enmity to, the merchants. Several amendments were proposed, among others the following one by Mr. Potter. (The object of this was to prevent the law going into operation against Great Britain, unless France had revoked.)
