HOUSE OF REPRFSENTkTIVBS, Noy. 15. AMERICAN SRAMEN. Mr. Mmtvort rose, and, ()Wei - yea, there was no topic more important than the prOteaion of Anieri can seamen, and yet he believed. it would be ac knowledged by all who had given consideration to the subject, that. our laws on. this snhject are mate rially defeeliye. The object of these laws ought to be two-fold—in thefirst place, for the proteQion of bo.na ,fide American citizens; and, secundly,:foi the prevention of the abtise of those protections by citizens of other countries not entitled to them. — It 'will be recollected, that the act for 'the relief of American seamen makes it the duty of the Collec tors to furnish certificates of citizenship in the mari ner therein directed; but owing .to an error of Congress, no manner is prescribed, and, orcourie, the collectors !.ave been left to accept of such proof as they deemed StinCielit, art() act under the direc tions .of the Secretary of the Treasury, whi'eh, in most instances, l's an unsafe way of proceeding. — The Penal laws' of the United States provide .no punishnient for the crime of perjury in these Cases. A rem - A instance, Mr. M. said, had occurred in tie district which ,he represented. An Italian, not 20 days in the country, appeared' before a Notary Pons. lie, claiming . the rights of an American. seaman. He made. the necessary oath, and . produced a spon sor, who swore that he was, born in Baltimore.-- The tongue of the nnm.deteeted the fillsoirood..-. , The Collector,' with that attention to his duty fur 'whiCh he is' so remarkable, had both seaman and sponsor apprehended. The Attorney fOr the dis trict looked into the ease, and fonnd the 'crime of perjury to be, 'the falsely taking an oath, according to the laws of the United States—but as the law was defeciiiie, as alive stated, the offence wan not perjury. The Attorney General confirmed this opinion: The of6nders, therefore, escaped punish ment. He believed other amendments might be ttef . tilly made to the law on this sn:,je., t. He con cluded by offering the following Resolution for adoptiop, which was agreed I : , Resolved, that a Committee be appointed to inquire and report whether any, and what ametid tnents are necessary to the laws of the United States relating to the plotection of American seamen, and that the Committee have leave to report by Bill or otherwise."

There area certain descrintion at errors commit ted by the satellites of the Corsican,. which we should know, in 'order to .profit by. • lteynaud, Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, believing the partisans dared, not approaeh that fortress, went out Irmo it, attended by a few people ; his error preci pitated him into the hands of the valiant Don Jo li9ni.--Girard, supposing That the allies never th6tght of giving, but receiving, and trestingiin this, did• nut exped,General Hill was in search of him ; his error threw him into the 'net, ruined hii diviiion, and caused honour to tha allied artus.---Reille, Gayer nor of Paint)lona, thinking Mina was a,•man 'without discernment, laid a trap fur him ; his elror made it turn against hitncelf.—Ciria thought the insurgents dared not approach his petty Cou4t, which` confi dence induced him to ad incautiously; his error Caused him tn'Sall into the power of the ,celebrated Chaleco, and pay, by an infamous death, for the Many murdtrs he hod committed. The enemy, considering that a partisan hid neither valour nor skill to rescue .from his poWer a prisoner ; his error procored 'the esczping from his claws of a gallant : (Colonel Giant) by the assistance of the valiant Temprono, who, convinced of the aingu !or merit and servieesjendered by that stranger, de termined to use every possible exertion to save him,' and succeeded.—Soult thought that with twelve thousand Vandals he could overtake General Balivi teros and his small division ; . his error covered , with ignominy, and the expedition was ifrostra,ed' with the loss of more than 2000 of his people.—St:- melet sApposed the in4orgents did not undeistaed rapid marches, not dared in phice themselses be tween !Linda atid ArCuS ; hiSertor b ro u g ht aboet surprise, and he wa s confu sed, 'confounded, and rOuted by the indofatigaule Ballesieros.—The Frerieh having fortified theniselves in a'poinf, did .not be lieve the partisans posscosed either snfficient art or boldness to drive them tromp . it ; their error made then'fall into the snare, and in Colataynd the cele brated Dinanquideceived 600• of them. Theseseven recent examples demonstrate that we may deriVe great. advantages from .t he faults of our enemi-s, who, as we have frequently obserted, either ',tie ail their skill in posSing to this side of 'the Pyrennees, or are not so valiant, so inesistible, noes° iovinuitfle as they boast, or that the Spaui ards, notwithstanding their little discipline, are'sn petior to them ; the eXperience of a 42 mouths coo contest proVes this last.
