for the discussion of the several subjects before
yhem As he was compelled Sy ill h* dtli In
lesve the City «t an early day, having already oh

a vote on iIim before lie departed ; and there
fore asked to discharge the committee of tlx
, whole from the further consideration of the bill
in order to lake the sense of the Motts* wl ethr
it should go to u third reading or lie for the pre
( sent.
This motion was Opposed by Messrs. Macon
Taylor, t'ickman, Kmdolph, Livurmnr* am
Wdson on the groiuid of its being out of the u
sual cotu.se of proceedings j anrl it was nbjectei
to the more especially as this was a subject in
yoking very important principles, and one whi».|
ol all others ought to be discussed in coinmittc
of the whole.
Mr. Eppr* expressed his willingness to talc
a silent Vole on the subject, and thought a vot
might be obtained on the bill without much dc
bate.
Mr. Johuton expressed great anxiety to vot
•n the bill.
Mr Liver-more intimated that h* was Strong

On the question, Mr. hpfn>t'$ motion was n<
, f a lived- Yeas 61, Nays 50.
i he bid providing for toe better accommodi
tion of tin: Ge neral Post Office arid Patent other
wes read a third time.
Ylv. . VI re opposed the passage of the bill hr
cause ol the appropj lation it contained. Th
«
. offices were not in such a state that a ytM-\ dt
lay would do much injury ; and at lids momen
llie treasury was not in a state to permit iarg<
appropriations for improving the city of Wash
ington or for accommodation of the Patent Of
fice. This appropriation lie said would notb<
all that would be required. If they untie thr
grant, more money would be required, and tin
Ho«se must give it or lose the money they wouli
have expended. He said it was perfectly eon
s'stent in geiitlem'rn on tbe other s:de<f the
House to vole for the expenditure of the public
m'ney ;.it would be in perfect consistency will:
their general conduct.
Mr. Quincy said it was as far from Ilia heart ua
from the gentleman himself to wish to increase
the expenditure of public monies; nor vet bad
he in this rase any view to the improvement 01
accommodat:on of the city. He was not very
anxious for the cccommoditiob of the patent of
firr, though he considered that also w very im
portant object. He was desirous to puss tile bill
upon the ground that the public records of ths
1 country, of the War, Navy and State offices were
in such a situation as was disgraceful to tbe
House and to the nation. Not oniv were they in
disorder, and in a stale of gradual decay t but all
the records of the revolutionary war lie under
the eves of this building in a condition extremely
unsafe and daily exposed to destruction by fire
He mentioned also the probability of the Presi
dent’s now being able to purchase, at a very low
rale, a building well calculated for the pur
pose.
Mr. IV. Alston said that if the hill limited tbe
sum which may be expended to the S'lm appro
priated by the bill, he would vote for it ; but
from experience he well knew that after one ap
propriation wi*s made, another was sure to fol
low. lie instanced the case in whiqii a report
lud been made bv the Surveyor of Public Build
ings recommending an appropriation for comple
ting tiie Representatives H *11. And yet this
money was all expended and cue column decora
ted. Under this view of the subject, anticipat
ing a call for further appropriations he sou Id
not vote fir the bill.
Mr. Lyon said lie harl confidence that tbe Pre
sident would properly exercise the power which
this bill would give him, and he had n<> fear of
exorbitant expenditures of money. He was
clearly in favor of the bill
The bill was passed—Yuas62, Nays 33. The
bill for establishing post roads was lead a third
time and taised.
The House took up for consideration thea
mendments of the Senate to the bill regulating
tbe post-office establishment.
1 he first amendment under consideration pro
posed to strike out of the hill a provision for the
appointment of five agsnts or deputies to aid the
Postmaster general in the execution of the du
ties ofliis office.
This amendment was considerably debated —
The arguments in its favor were grounded on the
con venience and security to the conveyance of the
mail which would result from such an arrange
ment. Arguments against it were found in the
addition:;! expar.ee with which it would burthen
the Poet-Office Establishment, and :'i the increa
sed patronage it would give to an officer who al
ready possessed it to a great extent.
The House concurred in this amendment of the
Senate, Yeas 72, Nays 32.
Another amendment proposes to take away
from all post musters the right they heretofore
enjoyed of franking letters. This' amendment
was disagreed to, Ayes 23.
Another amendment proposed to require tbe
payment into the treasury of* all profits of any
postmaster in the United States, which shall ex
ceed two thousand dollars a year. This amend
ment was concurred in.
The House got through the amendments by 5

•le very deeply regretted the situation in which
t.iis House had b: cm placed in relation to the me
mory of that distinguished officer of the revoluti
on, Gen. \\ illiam vv'asliingion ; in consequence
of the resolution moved on the I hh instant. He
thought tfiat the impression exhibited on the jour
nals was hot such as either did justice to that in
dividual or to the fading of every inemher of the
House. lie hoped that the resolution which
lie was about to afler, and which had for its ob
jeet an explanation of the grounds on which he
knew a majority of the House had voted, would
not find an objection. It would take away the ap
rearmice that this House not that deep sense
of the merits and services of that officer, which
lie knew- they possessed. He then read the fol
lowing resolution i
I fvat the House of Representatives
arc deeply sensible of the loss this nation has sus
tained in the death of general Wili.am Washing

a[td that the rejection of the resolution

considerations of a general nature, cannot be

RICHMOND, APRIL 20. 1810.
FOR THE ENQUIRER.
i ne late new.s isiraugnt with interest !
As to a Treaty with G. Britain-in my
opinion, one will not be formed, extending
to ail the points in dispute-to Bcanieu,
colonial trade, blockades, 2cc.—an arrange,
ment maybe made about the Orders in
Council only—perhaps the new ministry
may propose to accept the proposition here
tofore made of withdrawing those orders
(on an understanding on their part flowing
from a knowledge of “ our own laws,” but
not as “ a condition of that arrangement,”)
that oar non-intercourse will be continued a_
gainst France fic its dependencies; rf which
Holland, now to be incorporated with France,
is to be considered as one. The arrange,
ment, if made at all, will he concluded by
Mr. Pinkney, so as to put out of view any
future question as to Patent powers. Such
a one, if made at all, ought to be on the un
derstanding that the non./mteicourse with
i France is to cease with her edicts—or in o„
i ther words, it must be left to ourselves to do
I ‘f away when we think proper.
! If the arrangement should nci be made,
by Wellesley, Sc Co yet it is most likely that
jthey will lose their places, and be succeeded
j soon by Grenville Sc Co. who will be disposed
to make it. Should it be made, France may
then rescind her Decrees—for the former
letter of Champagny avows, that if the En
| glish orders ceased, the French edicts would j
die of themselves.
Woe be to the day, which witnessed the
repeal of the embargo!—— j\ow, no mer
chant will risk a cargo to the continent, but
tor an immense profii—The Monitear says,
our flag is to be shut out—we are between
two fires—if we escape the English, going
there, who will escape the French, when
he lias got into port !—Great Britain has
blockaded lrotn Gijon to the French coast—
it will be so with every Spanish port—as
soon as the French have taken it, the En
glish will clap it under blockade.
1 he federalists will soon see the folly of the
repeal of the Embargo, and the mischievous
effects of now refusing convoy. If the Bri
tish Orders should be off, hovj much of our
produce will their market absorb? 15,000
out of 80,000 Hluls. of tobacco—and so as to
cotton, &c, Most of otir produce goes to the
continental market—therefore, as we shall
have much more than the English will want,
down goes its price .' Of what mighty benefit
then will such an arrangement be !
Congress should take a manly stand—give
convoy at least—no as to save our flag from
prostitution—and cause it to oc respected.
Unless something efficient be done, t»oon,
we may be shut out of the continent—mur
produce down, merchants ruined, and the
U. States in a virtual war with Franca.
“ Have we not now tt solemn Treaty with
France?” sagely asks the lioston “ Centi

Answer, We have not—the convention of
1801 exjiired on the 31st July 1800.

of the Extract.”
\'v e handover the following sentiments
to the disgust and contempt of the public.—
• I he calumnios, which they breath* against
the pdicy of Jefferson and Madison, and the
. illiberal construction which they put upon
< the.r measures, are eminently worthy of
■ the papal head *f tiie Essex Junto,
i Its creed is such a one, as an Englishman
| or an English Emissary, would profess. It
harps upon th* same strings. a.s thev do —
: charging the republicans with a hatred for
i England, and tove for France—and screcn
i ing the former irom our resentment by pa,
hating her wiongs, and representing her as
11 our shield against the pover of Fiance ! —

Extracts of a fatter, dated Washington
March 80,1810—From the I fan. Timothy
Pu kering, to his friend in Virginia.
*• The present condition of our country is
deplorable; the wretched policy of Mr.
Jeflbrsop is the source of our suffering at
home, and of the contempt with which we
are viewed by all the nations of Europe_
His successor trends timidly in bis st-ps._
Attached by old habits and piedehctions to
France, and dreading her present tyrant,
'hey hav? sacrificed the in ere>t and the*
honor of our country, by their tame arid
base submission to his 'enormous outra ges
on our rights nnd ojr prosperity_At
same time, knowing tlie strong interest of
Great Britain to beat peace with us. and
persuaded, that «ue would put up with ill
their contemptible bullying, rather th in
commence a war upon us, those two rhen have
di .graced our government and our countr y
by the petulant captiousness and palpable
insincerity manifested in all their nr- ci i
tions with the British governrhent. ° T ie
conduct of our administration, in the case of
Mr. Jacks »u, has completed our uugracc —
"o foreign minister was, I believe, ever so
wantonly insulted and injured i:i any coun
try. He came here with larger jw»wtrs
than had been entrusted tr» any of his pre
decessors ; and this our administration well
knew. He whs also a man of much superi
or abilities—these were reasons, sufficic t
with such an administration, to break with
him: And the whole of the intercourse and
cm respr idence with him, appears evident!',’
to bu a scene of maneuvering, to find or
make some pretence lor getting iid of him.
1 ne key to the whole Jeffersonian policy, I
takr to be this—hatred to England, attach'
merit to France, a conviction of the resent
ment of Bon apart", if they settled by treaty
our differences with Great Britain. \Vh:le
they are aware, that the people at laripo of
the United States, will not support them in
matting war upon Great Bri ain-—-.at tlie
same time, the great interests of our COuu
try requiring a settlement of those differ
ences, they have been instructing their mi
nisters, from the beginning of 1804, and en
gaged in a seri*-.of negoentions, all which
iiave accomplished nothing, because nothing
practicable, I mean nothing m which En..
gland could possibly agree, was ever at
tempted, or intended tw be accomplished.
In one word; the ruling object of the Jeffer
soman policy, has been, and continues to
l5.e*. ^ceP ?pen our disputes with Great
Britain, until the imperial despot should
subjugate that country, which Mr. Jefferson
openly predicted, (and predicted, probably
because he wished it.) would before this
time have been accomplished, but which, a
close friendship and free commerce with
tire United States might retard, and possi- i
bly continue to prevent.
Such is my view of the men and their
measures.

VVk’ti great regard and esteem,
