He then declared his conviction of the in justice and impoliey of, the present Bill, and strongly supported the Atnendmdit of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. P. I*,Oft.). • The 'question was - then loudly called for, viler' ,the Hause divided. For the postponement of the Bill to that day three months, Ayes, 28,; Noes; 80"; Majority, Upoit our re-admission into the gallery We found T,orci HertitY PE.Trr upon his legs - ,i'Strongly op.; posing the duration of the 13111; it then stood, fchr two years„ and the • ensttitig:i Session. of Parlia ment.' after , their expiration. fie contended, that dills of such a, description," Which so particularly trenched upon the liberty of the subjeo,, and which could only be tolerated by a strong feeling of.neces- . 4ity, ought only to be enacted annually, for. this reaSon, that the House should unceasingly and rctiiit tingly' apply itself to the conaideration of the necessity', and to the, adoption •of a suitable re- medy.

The Noble Lord and his friends' not only admitted that necessity, but were actually jn to a& upon it, in a way similar to that adopted by the present Administrati on . lle there. Wre could see nothing in the Amendment of the Noble' Lord, but an inclination to procure those an imal discussioni, which, if they did not augment, iti no degree tended to diminish, the causes ohltat ne= c, silty, which was admitted and' regretted by every Side of the House. Mr. SHERIDAN denied that though the two Bills (Insurrection and Irish Arms) advanced pari tossu, that therefore they were analagous in their principle. In the former Bill, the power of pro- claiming Counties was vested in ,the Lord I..ieute ham, but the search, for' arms, under the present Sill, Was vomMitted to 'the Irish Magistracy. If , the necessity,fbr this Bill must exist for years, in the of .truth, tell the people of Ireland at once that it - is Their inheiitance. But let not the Right Hon, Ilentlemen when they have manufa&urect the ne cessity„ and promoted the .disaffealon, call 'upon, Porhansent to sandion their enlightened expedients. The amendment of my Noble Friend" wisely says, it' the Hill can only be defended- by necessity, then nn let it be 'compulsory upon the King's Ministers an *tally to prove to Parliament and to the Counttythe existence of that necessity.' Mr: Eudur could not reconcile the, poSition, • e , at because he was friendly to the principle, -he Ought therefOre to support the duratiOn of the Bill: With him it was a strong feeling, that in proportion as art attacit was made upon a constitutional privi lege, n greater. jealoUsy should .be exercised. lie .'el•lot.isly recommended to the House to consider the state of Ireland, and to advert to the 'benefits that Country woutd derive frem an extension 'of tights to its Catholic population, modification in the eolleetion•of Tythes, a proper system of National Education, ,atid proviSion.for a resident Clergy. Mr. WILR.B.R.FORCE argued at some length in support of the advantages of infusing into' the 'lrish peasantry the seeds of religions knowledge, but 'oPPoSed the Amendment. Mr. WINDHAM supported the motion of the Noble Lord. Sec contended, that Without:any koper et - leas, .such a Bill might, if necessary, be annually introduced in the same way as the Mutiny Bill was' Indeed he felt convinced that though the vinciple of the present measure might be .justified netessity, yet he would accord with his Right T-ron: Friend (Mr. Sheridan), that with such provi i;ions, and in such hands as at present, it was calve .l:iied to do more hiIPITI than good.

Every artifice that ingenuity 'could suggest to inflame them has been used. There are, however, strong grounds ,to hope that ,the modera tion and good sense of _the Governments. of the two Countriei' will prevent hostilities. A Vessel has been .dispatched Mr, JEFFERSON' with re ? ' monstrances- to the British Government, and -it has been deter Mined that no hostilities shall be commenced on the I)3ft:of AM erica until an an swer is received. In the . mean time, great appre, , hensions were...entertained that the British ShipS would bombard Hampton, and preparations were making to defend it. Orders were issued to equip a great nuMber of 'Gun-boats, and ten thou- , sand. of the Militia are called . out. It was' ex. penetl 'that the British .Cruizers. would make an attack upon the two French ,Line-of-battle Ships, F'atriote and L'EOle, which are in then Chem. peak. The Officers of the American Frigate, the bliesapeak, have presented a strong Memorial against their Captain (Bititaos) fdr not having had his Ship cleared ,for anion; and for not doing his utmost to take and destroy the Leopard. They , have demanded a Court of Inquiry upon their con, dud, and at the same time requested that Captain BARRON may "be Put under arrest. It is reported, but we hope 'without foundation, that. an anion took• place at Lynnbaven, between 200 British, who land:4 for th© purpose of obtain ing. water, and about 400 American Militia, in which some were killed on both sides. Another report, which we also trust is unfounded,, states, that Capt.DouGLits,the sen. British Comman ding Officer on the station, has declared Hampton in a state of blockade until the Resolutions were rescinded; and that if they would not permit him to obtain' sup plies, he would take them by force. • No Foreigner is to be suffered to leave any of our Ports at present, andthe Passports o4taiued be►ore or sincz. the Embargo are not to be regarded.

BY THOMAS jEFff.RSON, git”ll)97 OF 71is ,u24ITAFr sT4ktil:;. PRPC4IATION. Duanl, the Wars Which, fur some time, have un happily prevailed among the Powers of Europe, the United States of4merica, firm, in their principles of Peace, have enFleavoure4 by justice, by a regular, dig-, charge of all their national and social duties ? , and by. every friendly office their situation has, admitted, to maintain, with 'all 'the Belligerent's, their accustomed relatiops of friendship, hospitality, and commercial interceurse. , • Taking no part in thp quettions which animate these Powers against each other, nor permittiti' themselves to - entertain a wish but for the general restoration of Peace, they have observed with good faith the ne9trality they assumed, and they believe that nd instance of a departure from its duties can be justly imputed to them'by any nation. A ..froe. use of their harbours and waters, the means of m t .' fitting and refreshment, 'of succour to their sick and suffering, have, at all times, and on equal 'principles, been extended to all, and. this too amidSt" a constant recurrence of gig of insubordinatiOn to the laws; of violence to the persons, and of trespasses: on the property of our. citizens, committed by Officers of one of the Belligerent Parties received among us , In truth these abuses of the laws of hospitality have, with few exceptions, become habitual to the Coal manderS of the British Armed Vessels hovering qu': our Coasts, and frequenting our ElarboUrs. 'they have been the subjea of repeated representations rti; their Government. Assurances have been, 'given, that proper .orders should restrain them within, the limit of the rights and of the reape& duc'to a: fri6pdiy ‘l\Tatioii.; bU; those.orders and assurancesJ)aye been without etie6k: and no'instance of punishment - for past wrongs has taken place: At length; a deed, transcending all we. .Intle'j, hitherto,teen,or,suffered,, brings the public sensibility to a serious crisis, and our forbearancelo a necessary pause. A Frigate of the United States; trdisting - to a state of peace, and leaving her harbour on a distant service, hat been .surprised and attacked by a British Vessel of superior force, one of a Squadron then lying in our waters, and covering the transglion, and has been disabled from service, with the loss of a number of then killed and wounded. ty wycliout provocation or justifiable cause, but was committed with the avowed purpose.of taking by force, from a , Ship of War of the United States, a part of her crew, •and that no circumstance might be wanting to mark its chara6ter, it ; had been previously ascertained that the seamen demanded were native citizens of the United.'States. •Having effeCted his purpose, he re turned to anchor with his Squadron within our ju risdietion. Hospitality under such circnmstances ceases to be a duty; and a continuance of it,with such Uncontrolled abuses,.would tend only, by multiplying injuries and irritations, to bring 'on a ruptura 'be tween the , two Nations. This extreme resort is ecioallY oPposed to the interests of both, as it is to. assurances of the most friendly dispositions on the part of the British Government, in the midst of which this outrage has been committed... In 'this light the subject cannot but present itself to that GoVernrnent, and. strengthen' the motives to an ho- Pourable reparation of the wrong which has been, done; and to' that effectual controul of its Commanders, which alone, can justify thd 'Govern= menr of the United .States in the exercise of those hospitalities it is.now constrainedto discontinue.. . In consideration of these circumatances, and of the right of every Nation to regulate its own police, to pro vide for its peace, and for the.safety of its citizens, and consequently torefuse the admission of armed %es gels into its harbours or waters, either in such numbers or of such description, as are inconsistent with these; or with the maintenance of.the authority of the laws, I have 'thought proper, in . pursuance of the authorities specially given by law, to issue this my Proclamation, hereby requiring all Armed Vessels bearing Commissions under ~the 'GoVernment of Great Britain, pow .within the harbours or waters of the United States, immediately, and without any delay to depart-from the same, and interdiCting the entrance of all the said harbours and waters to the said Armed Vessels, and to all others bearing COm missions under the authority of the British Govern ment. And if the said Vessels, or any of them, shall fail ,to depart as aforesaid, or if they or any others, so interdicted, shall hereafter enter the harbours or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all inter course with them or any of them, their Officers or Crews, and do prohibit all supplies and aid fro being furnished to them or any of them.
