Mr. CLAY moved, that the memorial be referred I to the Committee of Commerce and ManufaCtures. Mr. RnIVAN hoped the petition would not be refer. red to any Committee. He thought it would he be neath the dignity of the Houfe to give it any coati titration. Had he been in Congrefs at the time the law paled, be would have voted againtt it ; but as it had pallid, and as we bad received a fre(h inftilt from Great Britain, in the attack on the Chefapeak, he would not vote for its repeal. After a long debate, the quellion was then taken for referring the petition to a Committee of the whole Houfe, and it was lott. Ayes so—Noes 80. The petition was ordered to lie on the table.

Relying on the exercifc of a wife, juR, and dignified policy, your Mcnivialifts rope etfully refer the matters, herein Rated, to the cunfideration and ele.:ifiun of Congrefs. (Slgtecd by the Met - Omits and Traders of PhilasUlphia.) NEW YORK, NOV. 23. The fuperlative contempt with which Congrefs has unaninvoully rejeded the refolution of Mr. Lyon, is in the highelt degree iteditable to the intelligence and integrity of Congrefslllft is a pledge that, with us, individual property is fafe from the violence of -rapacious power. The refolni , in, ill timed, was a war meafu; e without any of the advantages of a crate of hottility. Individuals who, refiding in a lot eign country, veQ thcir property in our funds, do fo with a pedal re• liance on the public faith. He who, without fomo zreat and tvidmi nicrifity, lays violent hands on p; ovate property—whatever be his pretenfions—with what ever gh fres he may cover hit conduit—or however honeft and patriotic he may clsem himfelf, is fubflan tially, though not intendedly, an enemy to the public weal. ft is difficult to imagine what could have induced Mr. Lyon to propofe a meafure at this time, and un der exitling circumliances amounting to fcqueltra lion ; knowing, as he mutt have known, that the Preficlent, the Treat - iffy Department, Congrefs, and every honeft And thinking map in the community, would be decidedly oppoled t ; it. It could not have been offered as a heat funrce of federal calumny againti the adminiffration. , Probably it was an ad ofuoregulated Veal. It is intimated its the Zesaisrg Qf Sat*rday that 'the Prefident Is not unfavourable so fequeltratkn.— Could candour have made the fuggeftion ? Mr. Gallatin, co-operating with the Executive in all his meafures, fceaking in his late annual report 46, the refources of the country in cafe of war, fay's— ,' " There are no data' from which the extent of the defalcation (from the prefent revenue) can, at this moment, be calculated, or even eftimated. It will be itiacient to (late, 1. That •it appears neceffary to provide a revenue at leafl equal to the annual .ex penees on a peace ellablithment, the Were - Vas ex ging debt, and the intereft on the loans which may be raifed." Does this look like feqnefiration ? It is necelTary, he fays, to provide in cafe of war, for the faithful and punaual payment of the interefl of the exYling debt. He makes no exceptions ;he had not thought of fequalering. Again, " The credit of the United States," the Se• eretary obferves, "is unimpaired either at home or abroad, and It is believed that loans to a reafonable amount may be obtained on eligible terms. Meafures have been mien to afiertain to 'what extent they may be die ted abroad." In this !Lange are manila the care and vigilance of the adminiltration, and the high ettimation in which the public faith of the United States is held in Europe. But would fequeftration, in the ordinary occurrences of war, preferve to es this diainguithed eflimation ? Could we, avowing and afting upon the principle, obtain loans abroad ? It would be a rare inflance of inconfiftency, to fequefirate with onehand, and at the fame time folicit loans with the other. We could effeft the former, but we could hardly cape° to fucceed in the latter. Nor is there aught of magnanimity or of junice in an unprovoked and unnecelfary fequetlration of pri- ' vale property in our funds. War is .a public aft, and Ihould be honourably carried on upon public principles. To alienate to the flatic private property, placed in our hands, under the fanalon of the Public Faith, the mull facred of all fanaions, requires no great courage. In cafe of war between the United States and the Government of England, the more we can make that Government Puffer, and, through it, its lubjeas, the nearer we thould approach to the ob jeft for which we had retorted to arms. But we tranfcend the ordinary ufages of war when we feize upon the private property which individuals have confided to our national honour. Circumflances may, however, atift, rendering fe quearation expedient. As an at of retaliation, we might ref.nt to it ; but we Should take care that it he firialy retaliation. An " eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." The dolrine in pra&ice, is in deed dreadful, but it might, notwithtlanding, in a na tional point of view, be expedient. Sequeflrations may he reforted to on the ground of necellit y of another fort, though it is not likely .to happen with us. If engaged in war, our refr.urces were inadequate to a vigorous and fuccefsful pt ofecutiors of it, I would Seize the ;titivate property of the fubjeCs of the nation with which we were at war, and apply it to the pub• lie ufe ; but even thit, in the end, would operate as a loan oily, for peace would rellore the individual I property fequellet ed, with intereft. There is Ito avoid ing this c , nclufion.—:±merican Citizen. The fufpetso,on of the Non Impottation Ad es• pires on the 14th of December next. NEW YORK. DEC. 3. The vilit of General Moreau to the weftward, and the expedition of hit travelling, has excited a variety of conjedrate in the political world. A friend of the General has handed us the following account of the motives of his journey, which will fully fatisfy the curir,fity, and allay the fufpicions of th.fe who are always watching the movements of great charade's: " The General had fame time ago the misfortune cf ' , sling his only f^n.

His intention is to remain only a few days at the fat ter place, as he willies to be in Charlefion next Fe bruary, and in New York the following month. The feafon being fo far advanced, made it ne c: ffiry for him to travel with fome rapidity, and it was only a few days before he left New York that he was informed a palfage could be pro, used. " This explanation was perhaps unnecefftry, for no perfon of common lenfe will imagine, that one of the greatell Generals of the age, fliould be willing to change his high fame for that of an adventurer."

The pofition of the enemy was, however, vigoroufly at. ' tacked, and taken on the night of the 13th. The camp of the rebels was burnt, and they were obliged to take another polition at the Pone du Cabaret. After a (mart fire of mufquetry in that diretiiou, Chridophe put himfelf at the head of the troops, and took the pod of the rebels by form, and in ais he was powerfully affilled by the bravery of q.ntrat i Magny and Colonel Jatin.
