SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 20, 1810.
Tb« Address to “5%r| ftutStfiBST of rut
Usithd States,” which itoe have copied from the
Spirit of Seventy-Sit, (» repot,liran prim) will
■>nd indeed merits no ordinary degree of attention.
vVe do not mean to bestow our unqualified approba
tion to every part of this address ; on the contrary
it contains sentiments which we do not approve.—
We do not entirely approve of the severe, though
rpossiblyJust r. flections upon individuals ; great al
lowances must, however, we are sensible, be made
for an author—The celebrated Junius, whose writ
ings have been s« universally and justly admired,
tound it necessary to expose tli» publirk and private
vires of his opponents.
If men without talents, with no other objert
than five thousand dollars per year, or six dollars
per day, in view, will force themselves into the
councils of the nation, must their ignorance be sa
errd r If men in power will not respect themselves,
w.ll they expert to command respect of others ? If
the publirk funds have been shamefully delupidated,
shall ell enquiry be stifled, beeuuse it may wound
the private feelings of any mao ? These area few
of the questions which present themselves, and fur
nish an apology for the asperity of our HUth.or.
But where the writer is most happy, and where
great talent is displayed, is the picture which he has
'rawn of the state of our country, produced by the
measures oi the late udmin stration. These must
make a deep „nd lasting impression.

Captain Coffin, of the fast sailing ship Phocion,
left Lisbcn on the 2d of December ; »t which time it
tv»s reported ami believed, that there had been n
battle near Madrid, between the French army under
ee.icral Victor, and the IVriotic artny. in which the
| l(itrer had .5000 men killed and wounded, and 7CCU
t'krn prisoner i It was ah', reported, that after
tiie hutile, the Inhabitants of Madrid set the city on
fire.
| Captain C. also informs, that a division of the
British troops that were wounded in the battle of
I Talas era, wen embarking for England.
! The British urmv under the comm- ml of lord Wei
iingtun, had formed a new cucamnment nearer the
riry of Lisbon.
Cant. C. understood, that of 18 French ships of
war and IS ti inspects, which made their escape
j 0- m Toiiu n cue half of the number were taken and
■"'troted by i-isr admiral Martin, with a part tf
the squadron under the command of admiral Col.
line .nod.
Copt. f . further states, that a serious misunder
st an ding had token pure lut wen marshals Ney and
Smut. All conferences and communications bet ween
them h id ceased.
Capt. C. fur:hi rs informs, that Cotton cannot he
re-shipped from Lisbon wPhcut paying a duty of 30
per cent, valuing the cotton at 9d sterling, with 19
per rent, other charges. The re-exportation duty
on pot and pearl-ashes, 5 dollars per.barrel ; flour
one dollar : tobacco 1 ( per cent, on the invoice cost;
snd staves AO per cent.
Captain Coffin hrs favoured the editors with Lis
I on G nttH tp the 9d Doc.
i l»ev s «'ter that a jattle was fought on the 6th of
Nov. at M.'.dridcjos. (..bout 30 leagues from Madrid)
between field marshal idyncel Friieie, ur.d a French
aruiv consisting of ?600 loot and SObO horse. The
battle ci ntiuued the whole day, wills considerable
Ess on h'lth -ides. On the 8th, the French were o
bligedtc-bar.d' n them posttion at Guardi*. The
n nit of this ac.ti- n is said to have reflected great ho.
rour on gen. Fri -rt and iiis troops and to pl. ee the
pvc,. u.<e of V ■ rha eg lin in the power of the Sna

Toulon '—On the 14th of Nov. the British
consul commimic.. i.-d to the governor of Cadiz, offi
ci'lly toe t"l! wing le tter from E. VI * ie, dated Gib*
lolt ir the 18th :
\ British hi ig of war has just arrived from lord
C lllnpwood’s fleet, with the agreeable news, that
-ido-i' i G inihe unio, on board of an 80 gun ship,
two “4's, sundry frigates ; and from 15 to 18 tran
sports, with proviso cr.. ammuiuth n and troops were
burnt .u d destroy ed in the Bay of Rosas, and only
one escaped.’’
Another account states, that Gsnthuaum’s sipiiid
ron sailed from Toulon on the 5oih of O. t. that it
consisted of 3 ships of the lino and 2 frigates, convoy
ing 20 trnrsports, hi und to the .'•oast of Catalonia,
T.iev were attacked on the 36th of the same month
by admiral Martin with 7 ships, ne ar Cette. The
rc.-nlt was 3 of ti>e French .-hips went ashore, 2 were
destroyed, and the others were rendered unservice
able After this admit:.! Cniltngwnod f.ame up, and
i Crr-ix ; took 5 vo»-»e|s ant! rank 4 j the others retir
to the Bay of Rosas, where 4 were burnt anil S
taken. Out of the 25 sail only one frigate escaped.
Cv the Little Cheru\from St. Bartholomews, we
learn, that on the 17’!’ rtlt. Own French frigates nr*
rived at Itassaterre, Guadeloupe, from France.—
| They 1-nded their troops, and soiled immediately.
! It is said they are a part of a large squadron hourly
j expected at that Island, with further reinforcements.
Gteot preparations were making in the neigh*
boo wood of the English Islands, for the Expedition
airs in tt Gui.tlslonne, which, it was expected, would
.sailearlv is February,
* It will be seen by C ipt. Coffin's Marine list, that
i on tbe 7th «f December, he fell in with the British
frigate Naiad and Narcissus, being part of a sqnad-1
ron stationed off Brest. They were despatched in
pursuit of two French frigates and three transports,
full of troops, that had made their escape, destined
b>r Guadeloupe. It is very probable, that the two
ifcrenr.h frigates mentioned above, as having arrived
B H iss aerre, are the two pursued by the Naiad
^nd Narcissus. We hear nothiug of the arrival of
the transArts.
We also learn, that a French brig with troojts and
despatches, from France bound to Guad.iloupe, lud
been captured and sent into Antigua, ft waa disco
vered from despatches on hoard her, that between
70 aftd 80 sail of vessels had and were shout sailing
from the different ports of France, with men and
provisions, destined for Guadeloupe.
One of ihe French frigates, mentioned above, got
•ashore on Antigua Poin*, and before she get off, her
guns were thrown overboard.

Congress of the United Stales,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, January 15.
Severa I petitions and resolutions of n private and
local nature were presented and referred, when
Mr. Macon called up bis bill “ respecting the com
merclal intercourse between the United States and
Great-Britain and France ; and far other purposes.”
A short conversation took place relative to a ques
tion of order, with respect to striking out, in which
Messrs. Bassett, Pitkin, and Macon took a part.
Mr. Bur well, said if in older he should move to post
pone the further consideration of die bill until to-mor
row. He did this because he would consider it his
duty to ofler some motions which might perhaps be
menrporated with the principles of the bill or be
come the subjects of distinct propositions. Although
information bad been obtained, in some degree, res
pecting the situation of neutral trade with the north
ern powers of Europe, yet even that had not vet beeu
printed. He therefore desired a short postpone
ment of tire bill—He conceived it would be consist
ent at this time, with the rhuracter and dignity of
die United States to fix and mark precisely what
were th^ir commercial rights. There was nothing
as lie conceived, which could prevent jjs pursuing a
trade with the northern powers of Europe ; and lie
thought he couid shew that with these powers we
t-otiij Shiny a trade nearly as extensive as we had
ever pursued. It could not be doubted Hint every
111 nation would be Willing-to pursue and
maintain this trade; and the attention of congress
would be well directed towards this object.
.........c, unniiKnunn wouin enter into the view
of this subject. It would be well to enquire, whrthei|
tor the protection of our commer. e, the naval force
of the United States was ever to be used, lfhv the
solemn decision of the houso, and that decision
snould be confirmed by the ar n abation of the nation,
it was determined that force was never einplo' ed fur
the defence of our rights, it would of ccurse he inv
politick and unwise to continue expending mono)
>car after year, upon those vessels which were nev
■r to lie of any use.
The consideration of these objects, he was well
aware, might produce somediffit ulty and Uolhsi. n.
But le thought it desirable, under our present views
to place our t ights and our commerce up* n some
sunilaru, iquip.ble and fair. \V*th respect to the
laws of nations, established by the usages of civilized
nations, their principles and maxims had been rn
I tuely disregarded in these times of barbarity. The
puvti.-'ib.r i igbts of the Uuile.t S* .re. had been \v ;u
I truly vi .lati-d. But to these mixims < f pul.'ick law
!<c though* ;t advisea.de t.. enquire, whether it would
i o ■>« w ise to give an interpret uion even uulVvourn
*le to ourselves, for the purpose of placing the U.iit
eu stales on a still higher md m re honourable
grounds. If we submitted to the deprivation of
.iwlns which we ought,tn enjoy, cur independence
w. s at an end, but fitting them on a scale pointed
out by foreign nations themselves, every bone of con
tention would be at an end. That he might have
an opportunity of submitting propositi' ns in relation
to these obiects, he hoped his motion for postpone
ment would prevail.
I he question on Mr. Burwells motion for post
ponement was taken and carried.
Mr. Newton then called up the hill “ To deprive.
I m certain cases, vessels of American character,
and to prevent, under certain disabilities, any citi
zen of the Lr. Stated taking a licence from ar.v fo.
reign power to navigate the ocean,or trade with any
foreign or independent power.”
Mr. Livermore was against the hill altogether_
>le thought it would operate as a bounty to smug
g.ers and unprincipled adventurers ; and to the dis
adt antage of honest and fair.traders.
Mr. Newton rose to give u history of the bill. He
said it was the same in Mr-stance ns a bill reported to
| -he house in the second session of the tenth congress
which then passed 71 to 16, hut was lost in the se
nate on account of the late li >ur in which it was sent
, UP- He,thought the hill ought to r>as>-that thgjHK
l veiument ought to maintain the honour of the mS
<Hr.il Sag.
Mr. Hit kiiian Was against the hill and this section
in particular, ns it would got destroy our tr.de to
the Bt.ltick ; as all vessels sailing through the Sound
wi.s on.h>r the necessity of getting /lermiijion from
the government of Denmark.
Mi . SheKVy thought the bill required the most se
nous consideration of congress ; and that members
nnghi/hove time to examine it, he moved that the
committee rise, repoi t progress aud ask leave to sit
again. The motion prevail* d.
Mr. Smilie called up his order of the day on the
report of the committee apnofnted to report orders
| anc' fules for the house. The house went into com
tr.ittre of the whole, Mr. Pitkin in tiie chair.
Tim gas-rule under consideration, Mr. Quincy’s
, mrtitm, to add a provision, giving each ineinhcw the
; privilege of speaking nt least t»nce before llie gag
l rule should be put in force.
i Mr. Bassett moved to amend Mr. Quincy’s motion
so as to give a rrasvnabtt time for deb .te, before the
i E»jT should be applied.
| Mr. Cox teak aTittlr speech. He was for the
rule, but wej willing to hear people speak at proper
j times. However he wished that gentlemen would
not speak until they hatl something to say, and that
they would stop when they were done. [Supposing,
for argument’s take, as wise men say, ih -t tile gen
tleman had not risen until he had someihingWo say 1
We leave the reader to draw the conclusion.l
! t_ a .
tlrman’s being in the house, was from hi* well known
voice,] hoped the house would excuse him for begin*
ning to speak as soon as he got upon the floor, hut
he considered the rule now before the house as a re
vival of the fag-law. He had suffered in former
years by gag-laws, and he was determined to oppose
theai in ail time and places, with ail his might. He
hoped, his friends the republicans would not pass a
rule of such a kind, when they had so streneously
and successfully opposed the principle a dozen years
■gb»
Mr. Upham spoke with great animation against
the rule. ('He was called to order by Mr. Johnson,#
The chairman decided that he should proceed. f -
Mr. Bibb moved that the committee rise, as he
thought that the majority might gat at the object by
moving the flrevfyut question, and they would then
have the power to establish * precedent which Would
answer the same end as the rule undef discussion.
