Tur.soAy, December 19.
On motion of Mr. Rhea, the hmiso again
resolved itself' mtn a committee of the

Mr. Bas-set in the chair.
Mr. Rhea hopped the resolution would
he unanimously adopted. It had r.o v been
found that the proposition to alt.nv the na

non interc «rs» law against France, he l
mot originated, as had been attempted to be
palmed upon the nation, in the American
[minister in London, but with t•-..at celebra
ted ft renowned politician, the ex-minister
Mr. Canning. The cxtxutive had made a
noble stand. The Senate ha l approved
the r<- -olntion almost ut.aninv usly. He ho
ped th" H- use w<'.uld approrc it e.lso. Tne
conduct of .Mr Jackson most he tinted to
the source whence he derived nil hi3 au
thority ; and he doubted oot that this min

that the embargo, and rurE/s em of non

had done more for them, than >h y could

to the perfidy of the British govern
