Mr. HARRISON, of Ohio, offered the following Re solution : " Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be, and they are, hereby instructed to enquire into the expediency of continuing the Pensions which now are or have been heretofore allowed to the Widows and Orphans of the Officers and Sol diers who were killed or wounded in the service of the late war, br a term of five years beyond the periods when they shall 10 sr.ctively cease under existing laws." Mr. HARRISON said, that as the Resolution only contemplated an inquiry, he would detain the House but a very few minutes with the motives which in duced him at this time to bring it forward. Some of the pensions which had been granted, said he, have already expired, and others will expire, probably be fore the session of Congress closes. Amongst the latter is that which was granted to the widow and orphan of the late Brigadier-General Pike. In de scending the Ohio river, said Mr. Harrison, the eye of the inquisitive stranger is attracted by the humble dwelling which shelters the widow and orphan of that distinguished hero. Should his curiosity carry Mm fur.her, and he should be induced to visit the abode of this interesting family, he would find, how ever humble the exterior, that neatness, frugal hospi tality, and comfort, were to be found within its walls; that the lady had expended a proper portion of her pension in the pious purpose of educating her daugh ter. But, said Mr. Harrison, if the visit should be repeated at the end of a year, and the law which the Resolution contemplated should not pass, it would be found that the comforts of which he had spoken had tied, or that the means of procuring them were obtained by the personal exertions of the lad_y herself. From my knowledge of her situation, said Mr. Har rison, I can state with confidence that her dependence for a comfortable support rests upon the generosity— no,- Sir, not on the generosity, but on the justice, of this nation; for can there be under Heaven a juster claim than that which is presented by a widow under such circumstances? In fighting our. battles she has lost a husband—he has bled, that his country might be great, might be free, might be happy. But our advantage has been to her an insuperable misfortune. It has thrown her On the wide world, without that only tie " For which she wished to live, or (wed to die '" It is our duty to supply, as far as we can supply, the loss she has sustained.—There are other cases, Sir, which form the strongest claims upon the justice and the honour of the nation. Let me not be told, said Mr. Harrison, that the Government has performed its contract by giving the five years pension which was provided at the commencement of the war. Sir, the contract was all on one side, and it would have been immaterial what had been its provisions. The noble spirits of Allen, of Hart, and of Pike, would have met yo,ur enemy with as much zeal and devo tedness as if the provision for their families had been such as they would have dictated. No personal con sideration would hale withheld them from the field of glory. But, said Mr. Harrison, there are moments when the claims of nature will have their full effect. 1 have seen, said he, the wounded and expiring war rior in that awful moment, when the martial ardour which had filled his bosom had been suspended by the pain which he felt—when, the sacrifice being made, nought of public duty remained to be perfor med—then it is, Sir, that the thoughts of his family would fill him with the greatest solicitude: a beloved wife anti children left friendless and unprotected—, the litter without the means of education, and both without support. In such a situation, said Mr. Har rison, I have heard, amidst the fervent aspirations to Hz.tvgir for their happiness, a consoling hope ex pressed that his country would not forsake them ! Shall we, Sir, not realize that hope? The country, said Mr. Harrison, may be engaged in another war 3 if it should be the case, let us commence it with the benedictions of the widow and the orphan upon our heads. Let not their prayers ascend to HEAVEN charged with accusations against your justice and humanity. But, said Mr. Harrison, lam anticipat tng a thing that cannot happen. The Resolution will pass, as will a Law that will be reported in obe dience to it. 0 ; 1\ 3 . • I. 4 k . • .liVitep os 5 r • • tk_ - 1... 7 . 't ; .- ... ~ _ ; IMPAL,INTELLIGENCE.

The circumstance of. an armed force having been dispatched from the United States for the purpose of l taking possession of Amelia Island, has encountered less of jealous observation than we should have ex pected from an act of so doubtful a character. The l , right of the United States to suppress any piratical establishment which may be formed in its vicinity, to the annoyance and injury of their commerce, we do not dispute—we consider such a right to be in accordance with some of the best established princi ples of national law—but then it is a right which ought to be exercised in agreement with, and under proper explanations, to such other Powers as may either directly or remotely be affected by any change of territorial position on the side of the party, exer cising the right—in a word, the occupation of the Island ought to be distinctly shewn to he for the purpose of suppressing the piratical annoyance alone, and not with any view to a permanent territorial ac g. addition. Has this been done ? We do not know that it has—we see, on the contrary, many things which would lead us to form a very opposite ink rence, and in confirmation of our doubts we would only quote the following observations in an American Journal lately reseived on the subject, which Mill show how little the p:etence of piratical annoyance is regarded among the Americans themselves : " The Island of Amelia was a Spanish possession. The South Americans want thither to occupy and wrest it from Spain, their public enemy ; and to hold it for and in the name of the Republics of New Gre nada, Venezuela, and Mexico: It has been seized upon by persons acting in the name of Powers which the United States have recognized as entitled to the respect of neutrality ; and contrary to what is very singularly alleged by the Message, that it was not taken by an adequate force, without considering how far the circumstance of the numbers by which it was seized, can settle a point of legitimacy, the fact ap pears on the very face of it to contradict the presi dental assertion. The numbers, whatever they were, were adequate, for they seized upon and occupied the island, and more than seizing and occupying, they met and defeated and expelled from the island the greates t force which the Spanish Governor at St. Augustine sent to dispossess them, and drove them from the island, although the Spanish Governor had among the interposers agents acting as spies and hired to sow sedition in his pay, who co-operated with ►he military force sent by the Spanish authority. An in vasion by the troops of the United States, would be an act of war ; and what the effect of that act o: war on our part would be, not merely in the eyes of . mankind, but what comes closer to the nerves of our shifting and twisting political ethics—what would be the effect on our maritime interests ? " We are well aware of the answer that would be given—what shall our navy that has met the British and made them ours, shall we be frightened by the paltry c mixers of South America? " To this we would put in a more serious answer : Do not tarnish by an ignoble service the source of your present renown and future protection ; stain not the flag of the only free nation by employing it in the cause of Slavery. " Alas ! Who can foresee to what an extremity such folly may lead ! " It is not the energy and superiority of our naval heroes that we question: on that point we have no dispute. Our naval heroes know that their futnre glory and fortune are not to be acquired by fighting against men desirous of being, like ourselves, free, sovereign, and independent, but by fighting, ifat all, alongside opium, and in the common cause of repub lican liberty., " But has our Government, in making this scan dalous war—for it is most scandalous and dishonour able—have they calulated on the consequences to those numerous Indiamen who are traversing the seas on both sides of the African Cape? have they had the precautionto send convoys to protect them against reprisals."
