1 0 4' AIUVRICA Oft • 1 I I ,► t~ :\ I lWe have already laid Wove ear Readers the ianly Resolutions moved by Ms. Ross, in the elate of the United Stales, relative to the free na 'grad in of the Mississippi. They have- uced K d•eptet impression throughout A We eve now an opoortunity of Laying before pu!). c, from an American Paper of the 7th ult: th peech with which Mr. Ross introduced his Rest , - mons. We invite the earnest attention of our Leaders to the subject. SITATE, Minium, ' Fin. 11, ISO). Mr. Ross rose and said, That although he came from a part of the country where the late events upon the Mississippi had excited great alarm, and selieitude, he had hitherto forborne the expression of his sentiments, or to bring forward any measure relative to the unjustifiable and oppressive condua of the Spanish Government at New Orleans. lie had waited taus long ii the hope :lea some person more likelt7 to conciliate and unite the opiniens of a ma jority of the Senate, world have afforded efficacious measures for their consideration. Bat seeing the Seeion now drawing to a close without any such proposition, he could not reconcile a longer silence either to his own sense of propriety, or to the duty he owed to his Constituents. He could not consent to go home without making one effort, however feeble or unsuccessful, to avert the celamity which dire:aeried the western country. Present ;appear ances, he confessed, but little justified the hope th a t any thing he might propose would .be adepted ; yet it would at least afford him some consolati o n here after, that when the storm was approaching, he had done his dray, hv waming those who had peuti- in their hands, bi the means they ought to employ in order to resist it. Ile was fully aware that the Executive of the United Setae had aged—that he had sent an Envoy Estraerdiaary to Europe. This was the peculiar province, and perhaps the duty of the President.— Ile would net ::at, it was unwise, in this state of af fairs, to prepare for remonstrance or negotiation, much less was he about to propose any measure which would thwart ne gotiation or embarrass the Ex:eta:ire :—On the other hand, he was convinced, that more than ne h etietien was absolutely neces. sat:. ; that more h oover and more means ought to be given to the Presitleht, in order es render his neeo eation efficacious. Could the President proceed ihr ther, even if he thought more Yip roes measures pro per and expedient ? Was it in his power to repel or punish the indignity put upon the ration ? Could he use the public force to redress our wrongs ? Certainly tot. This roust be the ea of Congress. They are row to judge of ulterior treasures. They must give the power, and vote the means to vindicate, in a heceming manner, the wounded honour, and the bc't interests of the country. Mr. R. said he held in 'his bend certain Resolu tions fur that purpose, and, le:fore he offered them to the Senate, he would very fat' explain his reasons for bringing then+ fore-reel, mid pressing them with earnestness, as the best system the United States could now pursue. It was certainly unnecessary to waste the time of that Bode, stating that we bad a solemn, explicit treaty with Spain. That this treaty had been wan toely and nnprovokedly vielated, not only in what related to the bimiAppi, Ina by the most flagrant and deo r alive spoliation if our commerce, on every part of the ocean where Spanish armed vessels met the American flag. These spoiietions were of im mense magnitude, and demanded the most serious notice of our Government. They had been followed by All indignity, and a direa infetaion of our treaty relative to the Mississippi, which bore an ;toped not to he dissembled or mistaken. To the free navigation of that river we had an undeubted right frem nature, and from the position of our Westein Country. This right, and the right of deposit in the island of New Orleans, had been solemnly acknowledged and faxed by treaty, in ! 795. That treaty had been in aaual operation for Many years. And now, without pretence of abuse or violation on eer part, the officers of the Spanish Government deny the right, refuse the place of de posit, and atid the most offensive of all insults, by forbidding us to land or touch their shores, and slanting us out as a common nuisance. By whom have these outrages been offered ? By those who have constantly acknowledged our right, but now tell us they are no longer owners of the country ! 1 hey have given it away ! And because they have no longer a right themselves, therefore they turn us out, who have an undoubted right.— They dispossess us of that in which they disclaim all right themselves. Such an insult, such unpro. yoked malignity of condua, no nation but this would affect to mistake; and yet we not only hesitate to take the course which interest and honour call us to pursue, but we bear it with patience, tameness, and apparent unconcern. Whom does this infrac tion of the treaty and the national rights of this country s most intimately ailed ? If the wound of na tiered honour be not sensibly felt by the whole na tion, is there not a large portion of your citizens exposed to immediate ruin by a continuance of this state of things ? The calamity lights upon all those who live upon the western waters. More :hen half a million of your citizens are by this cut off from market. What would be the lan guage—what would be the feelings of gentlemen in this House, were such an indignity offered on the Atlantic coast ? What would they say, if the Chesa peake, the Delaware, or the Bay of New York were shut up, and all egress prohibited by a foreign power ? and yet none of these waters embrace the interests of so many as the Mississippi. The num bers and property affected by shutting this river, are much greater than the blockade of any Atlantic river would extend to. Every part of the Union is equally entitled to proteftion, and no good reason could be offered why one pan should be less attended to than another. • The experience of all times has proved, that with nations, as well as with individuals, submission to aggression and insult unithrmly invites a repetition and aggravation of the mischief. To repel at the outset is more easy, as well as more honourable, for the injured party. Fortunately for this country, there could be no doubt in the present case. Our national right had been Acknowledged and secured soknady by treaty. The treaty had been ilia state of execution. It was now violated and denied with out provocatine er apology. Treaty then was no security. The invaded right was one, the security 03 which ouglit not to be precarious.

' that Bowl:, n stating that we had a solemr ... treaty with Spain. That this treaty had Ii , ) tonly and nnprovekedly violated, not unl: related to the Mississippi, but by the most and druatuaive spoliation of our commerce, part of the ocean where Spanish armed vc • , s I the Ant-tric.m flag. These spoiiations we mense magnitude, and demanded the mo notice of our Government. They had been by All indignity, and a direft it: Iraklion of I relative to the Mississippi, which bore an :1 • e• _Ai I I __ ____ L 4 I ; t.. •' !, . CZable that the er.;oyment of it should be placed nd all doubt. Ilse power with whom you have the treaty is either too weak or too unjust to observe it. He declared it then to be his firm and mature opinion, that this right would never be secure while the mouth of the IMississippi was exclusively in the hands of the Spaniards. From their caprice or enmity we had to apprehend constant interruption auJ misunderstanding. From the very position of our country, from its geographical shape, and from motives of complete independence, the command of the navigation of that river ought to be in our hands. We are now wantonly provoked to take it. Hostility, ris its most offensive shape, has been of fered by those mho disclaim all right to the soil and sovereignty of that country—an hostility fatal to the well-being- of the western world. Why nil seize then what is so essential to us as a nation ? Why not e:pcl the wrong-doers ?—Wrong-drzrs by their own confivsion, to whom we can therefore do no injury. Paper commas or treaties have proved ton feeble. Plant yourselves on the river—fortify the banks— invite those who have an interest at stake to defend it ; do justice to yourselves, when your adversaries deny it, and leave the event to Him who controuls the fate and fortune of nations. Why submit to a tardy, uncertain negociation, as the only means of regaining what you have lost ? A negociation with those who declare arty have no right, at the moment they strip you of yours ? When in possession, you will negociatc with more advan tage. You will then be in a condition to keep others out. You will be in the actual excercise of jerisdic tion over your whele claim. Your people will have the benefits of a lawful commerce. When your de termination is known, you will make an easy and honourable accommodation with any other claimant. The present possessors can have no pretence to com e plain, for they have no right to the country by their own confession. The western people will dis cover that you are making every effort they could desire for their protedion. Theywill ardently sup port you in the contest, if a contest becomes neces sary. Their all is at stake, and neither their zeal nor their courage can be doubted. Look at the memorial from the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory, now on your table. That speaks a language, and displays a spirit not to be mistaken. Their lives and fortunes are plighted to support you The same may with equal truth be asserted of Kentucky, Tennessee, and the western people of Virginia and Pennsylvania. Is this a spi rit to be repressed or put asleep by negociation If you suffer it to he extinguished, can you recal it in the hour of distress when you want it ? Atter negociation has failed ; after a powerfal, ambitious nation shall have taken possession of th.: ley of your western country, and fortified it ; after their garri sons are filled with veterans who have conquered in the East, will rou have it in your power to awake the generous spirit of that country, and dispossess them ? No—Their confidence in such rulers will be gone. They will he disheartened, divided, and will place no further dependence upon you. They must abandon those who lost the precious moment of seizing, and for ever securing their sole hope of sub sistence and prosperity. From necessity they must then make the best bargain they can with the con queror. It may be added, that the possession of the coun try on the east bank of the Mississippi will give a compadness, and irresistible strength to the United States ; and in all future wars, we shall he m' re dreaded, and, of course, more courted and more respelled, than we can ever hope to be without it. Suppose that this course he not now pursued ? Let me warn gentlemen how they trifle with the feelings, the hopes, and the fears of such a body of men as inhabit the western waters. Let every ho nourable man put the question to himself,-how would half a million around him be Aided by such a calamity, and no means taken by the Government to redress it ?—These men have arms in their hands —the same arms with which they proved vktorious over their savage neighbours. They have a daring spirit—they have ample means of subsistence—no market for those means—and they have men dis posed to lead them on to avenge their wrongs. Are you certain that they will wait the end of ne gotiation ? When they hear that nothing has been done for their immediate relief, they will probably take their resolution and aft..--tlndeed, from an that we have heard, there is great reason to suppose that they will, or, perhaps they may have already ailed—They know the nature of the obstration— they know the weakness of the country—they are sure of present success—and they have a bold river to bear thcm forward to the place of action. They only want a leader to conduct them, and it would be strange, if, with such means, and such spirit, a leader should not soon present himself. Suppose they do go—that they do chase away the present wrong-doers--that you give them no sup port—and that in the end they are overpowered and defeated by a stronger foe than the present feeble possessors. They will never return to you, for you cannot pneed them. They will make the best compromise they can with the power commanding the mouth of the river, who in effed has thereby the command of their fortunes. Will such a bargain be of light or trivial moment to the Atlantic States ? Bonaparte will then say to you, " My ronich West-India Colonies, and those of my allies, can he supplied from my Colony of Louisiana, with flour, beef, lumber, and every necessary. These articles ran be carried by my own ships, navigated by my own sailors. If you on the Atlantic coast wish to trade with my Colonies in these article., you must pay fifteen or twenty per cent. of an im post ; we want no further supplies from you, and revenue to France must be the condition of all fu ture intercourse. What say you to this ? It sill be vain to address your western brethren, and com plain that your revenue dwindles; your commerce is ruined—your condition desperate. They will reply, you came not to our assistance at the only moment you could hare served us ; that you then balanced between sordid interest and duty ; that you suffered them to be borne down and subdued, at a time when for a trifle you could have secured the Mississippi. Now their interest must be consulted, and it forbids any assistance to you, when following in the same train of ruin which overwhelmed them. If the evil does not immediately 'proceed the full length of absolute disunion, yet the strength, the unity of exertion, the union of interest will be gone ; we arc no more one people, and representatives from that portion of our country, in our public councils, will partake of the spirit, and breathe the sentiments of a distina nation. They will rob you of your public lands. They will not subsiiit to taxes. "'f'"` - They will form a girl to the Scisliltrn States, which i.iy he denominated a foreign rile, and ren der that whole country very precaricius, as to its peace and present connections. Indeed, *very asped of such a state of things is gloomy and alarming to men who take the trouble of refleding upon it. But, Sir (said Mr. IL) I have beard it suggestdd that there is another mode of getting rid of this crisis in our affairs. If we remain perfedly quiet and no symptoms of uneasiness and dis cPoansstevnte'Ll w i e fwe give no offence to the new and pro bable masters of the Mississippi—may be they will sell I!! To me it is utterly incredible that such an effed would flow from such a conduCt. They might probably sell, if they found us armed, in possession, and resolved to maintain it. They would see that even conquest would be a hard bargain for so dis tant a country. Our possession would be evidence of a fised resolution. But when we have no army, no military preparation, no semblance of resistance, what would induce them to sell ? Sell, Sir! for how much ?—Why, Sir, although there is no intim mation on that subjed before this I louse, yet 1 have seen it stated in a newspaper, that those who claim that country may pei haps be persuaded to sell by distributing two million: of dollars among Certain iry7u ential persons about for Here Mr. WRIGHT, of Maryland, called Mr. Ross to order, and said, that he thought it improper to debate upon confidential information, which, in his opinion, ought to be kept secret. Mr. Ross knew of no confidential communication to that I-louse on this subjed. the VICE-PRESIDENT said th2i e wa-. no confi dential information about this business before the Senate that he recollected, and that he perceived no thing improper or out of order in what had been Mr. N:clorsoN said, he hoped the gallery would be cleared. It appeaml to him that the Gentle man was about to discuss points, which ought to klpt secre. Mr. it , :ss hoped not, and would give his reasons. Mr. NIC1101.1:ON o:jeCted, that it would not be in order fez. the Gentlenian to give. reasons. Mr. Ross.—l will never speak upon this subjeet, Sir, with closed doors. The moment you shut your doors, I cc:iv—and when they are opened, I will proceel. There is nothing of a secret or con fidential nature in what 1 have to say. The VICE-PRES.DENT Sail, the doors must be closed at the request of any Senator, and after ward., the Senate would determine vote, whether or not the business should pro.eed with closed .doors. lie then ordered the galleries and lobby to be cleared.—The doors remained closed for some time ; when they were again opened, and the Senate adjourned. Teesoav, FEW. 15. The doors of the Senate were closed. WEDNESDAY, FErl. 16. Mr. BRECK ENRIDGE moved to have the galleries cleared, and the doors closed, which was done ac cordingly. At one o'clock, the doors of the Senate were opened, and in a few minutes afterwards Mr. Ross rose and proceeded. Sir WI t. timstYiam - ti.zi); - was a man of most extraordinary endowments, and his memory will be dear to the literary world by the indefati gable exertions which he made through life to add to our stock of knowledge, and of models in the fine arts. His whole life, indeed, was de voted to studies connate,' with the Arts, and he made every interest contribute to the passion of his soul. He was the foster-brother of his present MAJESTY, which laid the foundation of that gra cious attachment and friendship with which he was honoured by the KIN' through the whole of his public service. By that immediate protection he procured the favourite appointment of Minister at the Court of Naples, which he enjoyed, with the uninterrupted approbation of the two Courts, for thirty-six years, and which he would not change for more lucrative situations : during all this time, we need not enumerate the zealous and successful efforts that he made in bringing to light the buried treasures of antiquity ; and in promoting a just and corral taste in the arts, by making known in his works the sincimens of the pure and chaste stile of the classic zra that he had discovered. He was equally alive and successful in the duties of his appointment. He maintained the most perfea harmony between the two Courts, at a period when it required all his influence and address to counter aft the designs of those who had an interest in a breach of the amity that so hapily subsisted. And the English nobility and gentry who travelled into Italy, speak with the warmest acknowledge ments of the splendid hospitality with which he re presented his Sovereign. About twelve years ago, he married Lady 1 I sti I. TON, and never was union produaive cf more perfect felicity. The anxious solicitude, the unwearied attentions, the domestic duties, kinc.l to the uncommon talents and accom plishments of Lady HAMILTON, were the sources of the purest happiness to them both, as well as of de light to the circle in which they lived. Sir WI IA! A M derived from his Lady, in his last illness, all the consolations of which life was susceptible, and he at length, without a struggle or a sigh, breathed his last breath in her arms. An instance of suicide occurred on Wednesday of an extraordinary and a most lamentable kind. Mr. llabgood, partner in the house of Habgood, Joy ner, and Bloxam, wholesale haberdashers, in Hood= lane, Fenchurch-street, attempted to put a period to his existence, at his Stock-brokers, Mr. Clerk's, in Princes -street, close to the Bank. For several day. it had been observed, that he was very melan choly, and a particular wildness about his eyes was noticed. Yesterday he rose suddenly from dinner, and went out to take a walk, it was supposed. He went to his Stock-broker's, as above, where he conversed for some time with Mrs. Clerk ; but while left alone, he went into a small apartment, taking from off the desk the clerk's penknife, with which he cut his throat in a most deliberate and determined manner, cutting and hacking it with a resolution that could arise only from insanity. He was heard to groan and make a noise, and on going to the closet, he was found standing, and blood streaming from his throat. This was about half past two o'clock. The fasl transpired, and a con course of people instantly assembled round the door. Two surgeons were sent for, who sewed up the wounds. He remained alive and sensible last night, but so weak from loss of blood and a cut in the wind pipe, that very little hopes were entertained of his recovery. N,11 1 ,1L 'N TEL LICENCE.
