HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NOV. & Mr. DAwsoss rose to snake a motion. He said, I take this early moment to present to you a Remlo tion, which I feel pleasure and pride in believing will meet the general approbation not only of this House, but of the nation. The President of the United States in his Message, which was read yesterday, has, in " terms eloquent and appropriate, made mention of an engagement which has taken place between an Ame rican frigate and one of his Britannic Majesty's; an engagement in which American tars have proved to the world, that when commanded by officers of skill, ' valour, and fidelity, they are capable of contending with and vanquishing those of any nation on the earth upon any element, even on that element where British skill has acquired so much celebrity ; and that the American flag, when authorized by the Constituted Authorities of our Country, will com mand respect on the high road of nations. Far, very far be it from me to boast; it ill becomes an indivi. dual or a nation, and is never the concomitant of true courage ; but on the present occasion it seems to me proper that we should express our sentiments, our feelings, and thereby the feelings of the nation. I shall, therefore, without farther comment, offer to fou the following Resolution, observing, that the acts therein stated have been ascertained at the pro per Department, and the proofs are on the table : " Resolved by the Senate and Thisse4et litspresentadves of the United States of America, ia Congress assembled, that the President of the United States be, and is hereby requited, to present, in the name of Congress, to Captain Isaac Hull, a gold medal, with suitable emblems andllevices ; and that the sans of thousaml dollars be, and the same is hereby appropri ated to be distributed as prize-money to the officers and crew of the United States frigate Constitution, of forty-four guns, accor ding to the provisions of the Act for the better Government of the Navy of the United States, in testimony of the high sense I entertained by Congress of the gallantry, good conduct ant ser vices of Captain Hull, the officers, and crew of the said frigate Constitution, in attacking, vanquishing, and capturing the Bri tish frigate the Gnerdere, mounting fifty-four carriage -Po% thereby exhibiting an example highly honourable to the Ameri can character, and instructive to our rising navy." Some conversation passed on the proper mode of disposing of this subject, in the course of which Mr. SEYRICRT suggested the propriety of also giv ing some distinction or medals to the crew of the Constitution, who, he thought, were too generally overlooked in such cases. Mr. WRIGHT approved the spirit of the Resolu.' Lion, but hoped the other officers would receive swords, and the men suitable rewards. The Re solution was eventually ordered to lie on the table, till a Committee be appointed to whom it should be referred. NOVEMBER 6. ESPORTATION OF BREAD-STIIFFL-41T. HARPER having stated that he had a motion to make, which, in his opinion, required secrecy, the House was clear. ed of strangers, and so remained till three o'clock, when the House adjourned, and it appeared that the injunction of secrecy on the proceedings had been re moved : and that the motion submitted by Mr. Har per was as follows : Resolved, That the Committee of Commerce and Mans. factures be instructed to inquire into the expediency of prohi biting by law the exportation of flour and deter bree‘stuffs. from the United States and the tentacles thereof, sad that they report by bill or otherwise." The question was taken on the passage of the Re solution, and negatived by a large majority. EXTRACT OP A LETTER TO THE EDITORS OF THE BALTI MORE AMERICAN (DEMOCRATIC), DATED WASHING TON, NOV: 11. 4 , The Senate sat with closed doors a part of this morning, it is presumed on executive nominations. 4 , Merchants concerned in the late importation of British goods, are beginning to petition Congress for a remission of the penalties and forfeitures incurred under the Non-importation Act. A memorial from a number of merchants in New York was presented this morning, and will be found at length in the daily report. These applications to the equity of Govern ment, though they will probably be pertinacious)y resisted by a number of members, will, it is believed, prevail by a great ninjority. The Committee of Ways and Means is composed of Members who are intelligent and friendly to the just interests of Cora -1 merce ; a favourable report on the petitions may be expected from it. The Executive has manifested,* disposition to favour the late importers ;-and the jus tice and policy of not condemning an immense amount of merchandize, a great part of which at least was innocently imported, are so obvious, that the Go vernment will hardly think of retaining more than the duties on it. " A mistaken idea prevails among some of the members from the interior, inculcated by the country merchants in that quarter, that the importers of the British goods received by the late arrivals, have, in selling them, laid such a per centum on their ori ginal invoices, as to secure themselves even if their bonds should be forfeited. Those members 'use this s as an argument against exempting the importers from the penalties of the Act of Non-importation. But the fact cannot be true. A few small articles may have been sold at double the price they cost the coun try merchants, but the valuable articles of British manufactures, which constitute the chief part of every cargo, would not, even in the present situation of our Iforeign trade, bear 100 per cent. on the original in ' voices; and it is, therefore, fair to conclude, that they have not been sold at such enormous advance." ADDITIONAL DOCUMEN I. ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO MR. RUSSELL. (Eat ract.) " Department of State, August 21, 1812. " My last letter to you was of the '27th of July, and was forwarded by the British packet, the Althea, under the special protection of Mr. Baker. The ob ject of that letter, and of the next preceding one of the '26th of June, was, to invest you with power to suspend by an armistice, on such fair conditions as it was presumed could not be rejected, the operation of the war, which had been brought on the United States by the injustice and violence of the British Go vernment. At the moment of the declaration of war, the President, regretting the necessity which pro. duced it, looked to its termination and provided for I it ; and happy will it be for both countries, if the disposition felt, and the advance thus made on his part, are entertained and met by the British Govern. ment in a similar spirit. 6 ' You will have seen by the note forwarded to you by Mr. Graham, of Mr. Baker's communication to him, that Mr. Foster bad authorised him to state, that th.i.C.Ammaympra of eh. 14.41.1. et 'NEW AND BEAUTIFUL EDITION OF BUFFON'S NATURAL HISTORY, With coloured Plates, complete in One Hundred Numbers.

A provisional agreement was entered into between General Dearborn and Colonel Baynes, the British Adjutant-General, bearer of General Pre. voses letter, that neither party should act offensively, before the decision of our Government should be ' taken on the subject. , g Since my return to Washington, the document alluded to in Mr. Fester's dispatch, as finally de cided on by the British Government, has been ban ded to me by Mr. Baker, with a remark, that its au ? thenticity might be relied on. Mr. Baker added, that it was not improbable, that the Admiral at Ha lifax might agree likewise to a suspension cf captures, though he did not profess or appear to be acquainted with his sentiments on that point. gg On full consideration of all the circumstances which merit attention, the President regrets that it is not in his power to accede to the proposed arrange. ment. The following are among the principal rea sons which have produced this decision : " Ist. The President has no power to suspend judicial pro. mains an 'prizes. A capture, if lawful, vests a right, over which Isaias no contronL Nor costal he prevent captures, other who titan by an indiscriminate meal of she cantaission4 granted to our privateers, which he could not justify under existing ar. 4/1 ltd. The proposition is not made by the British Governors; nor is there any certainty that it would be approved 1:y it. " 311. No security is gives or proposed, as to the Winsome could any be relied eq. They have engaged in the war on the dde of the British Government, and are now prosecuting it wills vigour, in their usual savage mode. They can only be restrained by force, when once let loose, and that force has already been or dered out for the purpose. " 4th. The peopoition Is not reeiprocal, because it restrains the United States from acting where their paws." is greatest, and leaves Great Britain at liberty, and gives her time to augtnee: her forces in ear neighbourhood. " Stit. That as a principal object of the war is to obtain redress against the British practice of impressment, an agreement to sus. pmd hostilities, even before the British Government is beard from on that subject, might be considered a relinquishment 01 that claim. 64 eds. It is the ■mote objeedonabie, sad of the kes impor tance, la consideration of the instructions heretofore gleam you, which, if met by the 'British Government, nay have already pro duced the same result is a greater extent and more satisfactory firm. “ I might add, that the declaration itself is °Nee. tionable in many respects, particularly the following: lit. Because it asserts a right in the British Government tee restore the Orders in Council, or any part thereof, to their foil effect on a principle of retaUatioa en France, under circumstances of which she is alone to judge ; a right which this Government cannot admit, especially in the extent heretofore claimed, and used on by the British Government. ” 2d. That the repeal is founded exclusively on the Wench Decree of the 28th of April, 1911, by which the repeat of the Decrees of Berlin and Milan, announced on the 6th of August, 1210, to take effect on the 1-t of Notetnher ef that Mt, at which time their operation actually ceased, is disregarded, as are the cWxus of the United States arising from the repeal en that day, even according to the British pledge. sd. The .even if the United States had no right to claim thesepeal of the British Orders in Council, prior to the French Decree of the ItSth of April, lets, nor before the notification of that Decree to the Bgiolsk Govi repe cei : atrthp 20th of May. of the present yew, the British . • • - hat* home date from that day, and been subieet to nese of Ihmkatiens attached to There remarks on the decimation of' the Prince Regent, which are not pursued with rigour, nor in the full extent which they might be, are applicable to it, in relation to the state of things which existed before the determination of the United States to re sist the aggressions of the British Government by war. By that determination, the relations between the two countries have been altogether changed ; and it is only by a termination of the changed;-- war, or by measures leading to it by consent of both Govern ments, that its calamities can be closed or mitigated. It is not now a question, whether the declaration of the Prince Regent is such, as ought to have produced a repeal of the Non-importation Act, had war not ' been declared ; because, by the declaration of war, that question is superseded, and the Non-importaftm Act having been continued in force by Congress, Aild become a measure of war, and among the most cient, it is no longer subject to the controul of the Executive in the sense and for the purpose for which it was adopted. 44 The 'declaration, however, of the Prince Regent will not be without effect. By repealing the Orders in Council without reviving the blockade of May, 1806, or any other illegal blockade, as is understood to be the case, it removes a great obstacle to an ac commodation. The President considers it an cation of a disposition in the British Government to accommodate the differences which subsist between the countries ; and .1 am instructed to assure you, that if such disposition really exists, and is persever ed in, and is extended to other objects, especially the important one of impressment, a durable and happy peace, and a conciliation cannot fail to result from it."
