>Trv V- INTERCOURSE.
The order, ot the day was tor <iri the fed- J
lowing resolution, submitted uu Saturday Lst, l>y i
Mr Randolph :
Rrsolvtd, That th« act interdicting commerci- ,
a.1 intercourse, &c.—ought to be immediately re
X-ealcd.
To tins, an amendment had brea moved by Mr
Montgomery, in ihe following words :
“ And that provision ought to be m <le by 1 <w
to tnsinUin and defend the rights, honor :.ud in
dependence of the United Slates aguinct the e
die s of G. Britain and France.”
Mr. Rht t moved to postpone the further ron
sidei alien of the subject li.l to tncuicw, wi n a
view to take up the oill for establishing pist
il ).vl3.
Aj>\ Livermore objected to the motion ; he
couiu not see what possible benefit would be ilc
r.ved from postponement.
Air. Riua spoke in favor of postponement.
Air. Randolph spoke against postponement, as
it w »uld go to deieut his principal object, dis
patch.
Mr. Montgomery wan also against postpone
ment. Since the commercial hilt liad been lost
between ti»e two Houses, he thought some other
measure should be imnrienulely originated, for he
believed that to repeal the non‘intercourse law,
without a substitute, would be submission.
Mr. uana spoke against postponement—If the
subject was not postponed, lie wished to see
some mollification of the amendment of Mr.
Montgomery, which only pledged the House to
maintain the independence of the nation against
Great-Britain and France. He fcaied lest men
tioning those two should imply an unwillingness
to delcnd our right* against the encroachments
of other nations.
Mr. Randolph again spoke against postpone
ment— He said it was not at all surprising to him'
that those who could bring themselves to believe
that the present non-intercourse, as practised up
on was resistance to the belligerents, should also
believe that to repeal it was submission—both of
Will oh he denied.
Air. Johnson made come observations in favor
of .postponement, lie contended that the propo
sition submitted on Saturday last, by Air. Ran
dolph, and now moved to be postponed, was the
■arne in substance, with that which the House
bad decided but a few minutes before.
Air. Lyon spoke against postponement.
Mr. Taylor spoke against postponement—He
thought it the duty of the House, immediately to
repeal a measure whose operation was confessed
ly injurious tootifselVfcs.
Mr. Ley aim s| uke against any postponement
“No good purpose, he contended would be an
sw'ieu by such a course.
Air Id. Muon spoke in f.vo'- of postponement I
•—He preferred to fee the law die of its own ac
fcojd, u-d*. -# the House should re-enact it.
The «jiu siioii on postponement till to-morrow,
V’M tak.n by >eas jtr.ii nays, and negatived,35 to
*/.
"*r• Knndclph accepted the amendment as r
part ot his motion, and again called for a division
of the question—which again recurs on Mr. Ran
dolph’* proposition.
Mr Livermore spoke in favor of the motion,
lie said that, notwithstanding the attempts made
to divert the attention ot the House Irom the re si
question before them, it was this Would they
now repeal the non intercourse or let it expire at
the end ot the session ?
Mr. M’Kee said as his former motion had been
declared out of order, be could get at his object,
it the present proposition should be rt jected, by
substituting a proposition to continue and enforce
the non intercourse. He regretted much that
tlie bill which hail originated in this House had
been lost; but if there was a member in the
House, who would in the present slate of things
repeal the non intercourse and do nothing else,
he was not worthy the name of an American citi
zen.
Mr. Rost said that he had perhaps as ardent a
desire as any gentleman to get rid of the restraints
on our commerce ; but he did not wish our ves
sels to be invited, as it were, into the ports of the
rapacious mistress of the ocean. Mr. R. moved
to amend the whole proposition, as modified, so
as to read, “ that the act interdicticting commer
cial intercourse, &c. ought to be repealed, when
provision shall have been made by law to main
tain and defend the rights, honor and indepen
dence of the U. S. against the edicts of G. Bri
tain and France.”
Mr. Randolph conceived this motion to be
out of order ; but the Speaker ovcruled this ob
jection.
I Mr. Randolph contended that the proposition
i which fie had submitted on Saturday was not1
j that which the House hail ju3t before decided, f
’ When the bill concerning commercial intercourse
had passed tli.s House, the section repealing the
non intercourse had not been stricken out ; and
whenithe same bill was returned from the Sen
ate, it still contained that section. So that it
was fairly to be presumed that both Houses were
convinced of the propriety cf repealing the non
intercourse law
Mr. Johnson explained his former argument,
and insisted on the ground lie had taken before,
viz. that the Baked proposition for the repeal of
the non intercourse was in substance that which
the House had decided on Saturday last. He
w as proceeding to reply to some other remarks
of Mr. Randolph—when
The Speaker reminded him that the question
was on Mr. Root’s amendment.
Mr. Randolph said he thought that the
! question was on an appeal which he had made
| t.i.m the Speaker’s decision on the point of or
der.
’1 tie Speaker observed that lie had not heard
the appeal seconded, »
A motion was made to adjourn and carried.
April 3.
GENERAL WILKINSON.
Mr. Pearson called for tiic consideration of the
resolution c He red by him some time ago, relative
10 <u enmiiiy into the conduct of Brig Gen. James
Wilkinson*
The House agreed now to consider the resolu
tion, Yeas BL Nays 15.
A division of the question was called for, so
* ' to take the question distinctly on each clause.
The first question was on the first clause, in the
following words :
Ketolved, That a committee be appointed to
enquire into the conduct of brigadier general
James Wilkinson,in relation to his having at a
nv time, whilst in the service of the U. S. cor
ruptly received money from the government of
Spain or its agents, or in relation to having du
ring the time aforesaid, been an accomplice or in
any way concerned with the agents of any fo
r-gin power or with Aaron Burr in a project a*
gainst the dominions of the king of Spain or to
dismember these U. 8.
Phis part, as well as the proposition general
ly, was supported by Mean's. Pearson, Pitkin,
Key, Shelley, Lyon, and Macon, and opposed by
Messrs. Rhea, Holland, M'Kim, Smilie, Taylor
and Findley. The debate turned principally on
the right of the House of Representatives to in
stitute an enquiry into the conduct of the com
mander in chit f or of any officer of the army of
the U.S. The debate will be given hereafter.
a motion was made by Mr Bibb, under the
impression that it was too late in the session to
act on the subject, to postpone the further con
sideration of the proposition indefinitely. The
motion was negatived, 7'J to 33.
The question was then taken on the first clause
of the proposition, when there appeared to be a
majority of upwards of forty votes in favor of it.
Bctore, however, the result of the votes was de
clared, a number who voted with the majority,
observed that he had intended to vote in the ne
gative, and wished Im name to be so entered by
Ifie Clerk* The Speaker having directed the
Clerk so to rectify the v^te, this course was ob
jected to and a discussion arose on the point of
order, which occupied the House till five o’clock,
when the House adjourned, 57 to 13.

Aiul the lions# agreed to resume the conside
ration ot the subject, 55 to49
Air. ltar.Julph sa d his sole object was to try
the sense ol' the House, on a naked proposition
to repeal a measure the »|ieralinn of which every
one acknowledged to he hurtful; but an attempt
having been made to defeat his purpose by me
ving an amendment, lie said he should accept
the umenJmenl as a part of his own motion, and
call fur a division of the question, so as take the
question simply on his original proposition to rc
n.peal the non intercourse.
Mr. Al'Kce moved to amend the proposition
under consideration, l:y striking out the word
*• repealed/' and inserting “ revised and amend
ed .
Th is amendment, being in tbe nature of a sub
stitute lor the original motion, was declared by
tbe Speaker not to be in order.
Air Taylor spoke at consider; ble length in fa
vor of the repeal ot the non-intercourse. He ex
plained his ideas of the injurious operation of'the
measure. He said he could see nothing of re
sistance in it, nor any thing producing benefit to
the U States. Its operation, he said, was parti
*1, affecting almost exclusively the products of
the south. He contended also that there was
no reason why the repeal of it should be
simultaneous with the adoption of any other mea
sure.
Air. Mutnfor J spoke against Mr. Randolph’s
proposition, lie would not consunt to repeal it
without adopting some other measure. He ob
served that at present cotton or tobacco could
not be sent to France, under an insurance of 50
per cent, even if it was already known to be in
one of the rivers of France, because of the risk of
confiscation. It it went under roxvov, however,
insurance might be done at 15 per rent, because
Hie nature of the property would be certainly
known ; and therefore the object of the gentle
men from S Carolina would not be answered by
a simple repeal.
Mr. M'Kim was not insensible of the injurious
operation of the non intercourse law, and was
willing to repeal it whenever fie could do so
consistently with the honor of the U States.
That the House might have a full view ofthe sub
ject, he moved to amend the prnpn.Mtian under
consideration by adding the following: “ And
that provision be made by law for prohibiting im
port-tions from G. it and France and tlie;r de
pendencies ”
CO* For the satisfaction of the reader, the fol
lowing Extracts lrom tfce French Convention, are
sut joined :
The 2d Article of the Convention, as original
ly draughted, was in the following words : It is
quoted tor the sake of shedding light or. the sub
sequent extracts ;

ing the treaty of alliance of 6th February, 1778,

date, and the convention of 14th of November,
1788, nor upon the indemnities mutually due or
claimed ; the parties will negociate further on
these subjects at a convenient time, and until

TREATY WITH FRANCE!!!
\V« have had several rumors, by way of Loh
don, o( a Convention being formed bet ween Mr.
Armstrong and the French government. Of those
who heard it, some have supposed the objects of
such at instrument Would have been contined to
some arrangement respecting the French decrees
But t)«ne were ignorant that it might have ta
ken atnuch wider scope—that it might have ex
tended to all the points in the relations between
the two countries-—that we have, ue tins ttme. no
treaty with France—and that Mr. Armstrong, he
sidrs thy important subject of the French decrees,
may be lit this moment employed in passing the
general interests of the two countries, in review
before Ism, and reviving, modifying, or expand
ing the txpired Convention of 1801.
That mere it no treaty between the United
States a»d France—will appear by the following
extract flom the Charleston Gazette :
Mr. Thomas—It ap;»ears by the answer of
the House of Representatives, of Ncw-York, to
the Governor's Speech, published in this paper of
Saturday, the 24ih instant, that the Jatktoniant
have gained a temporary ascendancy in that body
by a slender majority. To enable the public to
judge of the enlightened and writ informed state
of litis new-fiedged faction, take the following
specimen,extracted from their address :
Speaking of France, they say—“ The people
“ are utterly unacquainted with the stale of the
“ negociationB between this count: y and one of
“ the belligerents, with whom wt have a SUB
** SIST1NG TREATY.” Now, every well in
formed citizen must know, that there is NO
TREATY subsisting, at present, between the
United Stales and France ; our Convention or
Treaty with that nation, which was signed 3dlh
September, 1800, aud ratified 3Ut July, 1801,
(containing a valuable clause which limited its
duration to the term of eight yeai s) expired on
the 3lst Juty, 1803 !! Tiie fact of our having a
subsisting Treaty with France, lias, however,
long since that period, been with the ignorant, a
perpetual ground of aggravation of French spoli
ations. But in this respect we stand on the tame j
footing with both belligerents ; we have no sub
sisting treaty with either. Henceforward, we
hope the Jacksonians, profiting by this hint, will
cease to rely so much on our subsisting Treaty
with France.

quality, has been rated very h-gh ; it would be
difficult to obtain land on James river above or
below the falls better adapted to the culture of
corn, wheat and tobacco. The fields arc under
substantial fences, mostly new. The buildings
consist of a comfortable small dwelling house,
with four rooms, newly done up ; an excellent
overseer’s house with a brick chimney and two
rooms plaistered, a large granary with a wheat
machine on an improved phn ; a large tobacco
barn nearly new, dairy, smokehouse, negro Itous
es’ k.c\ Tliis place possesses the advantages cf
a thriving young apple orchard, many other ex
cellent fruit trees ; navigation to Petersburg, e
leven miles, to Richmond fifty, distance by land
twenty three miles only, and a good fishery.
1’here 13 a plenty of meadow land, also a marl
bank of excelleut manure supposed to be inex
haustible.
The wharfage ground can be easily and expe
ditiously improved at a moderate expence, and if
properly improved would instantly become the
resort of the Richmond shipping interest, and an
important place of deposit for that growing com
mercial city. Mr. Cullen Adams, my manager
at the Hundred, will at anytime shew the pre
mises. For convenience, I s'n.ill leave my terms
with his excellency John Tyler, and Daniel L.
Hylton, esq. of Richmand—as these gentlemen
h ive been long acquainted with the Hundred, I
lake the liberty of referring to them for further
information.
1 also offer for sale a valuable little FARM of
500 acres, situate on Appomattox river, adjoining
the lands of Mr. Jcrman Baker, Mr. George
Skipwith and Mr. Edmund Eggleston in Cum
berland county ; for tliis tract I should require
one third cf the purchase money to be paid down
and the balance in two annual payments. If no
private sale is previously made, I shall on this
Tract, expose it at public sale, to the highest
bidder, on the 23d day of June next, and on the
payments already mentioned.
