HS Houle, on motion ol Mr. Dayton, refol
ved itfelf into a committee of tite whole, to
take into conftdiratioo the report ol the lehet com
mittee, relating to the military eliabliinment. '1 he
chairman having rea dthe rtiolution 11commended
by the committee, in the following words, viz :
“ KeloKed, Th.it two regim.uts, conlifting of
nine hundred and fixty men each, be formed out of
the regiments now in fervice of ilie United Stares,
c-compufe with the corps of artillery* the military
eStabliibmeut of the United States, and to continue
in the fervice »>nri 1 the firft day ot June, 1798, tin
lels fooner difchar.aed ”
Mr. Uaycon hud, that ne d MI iked me report in
general, and was more immediately oppoled to the
propofnion on the table, which he ihoold not agree
to under any modification of which it was capable.
It was his with tt/.have taken the l’enle ot the com
mittee of the wh^le upon his plan, by propoling to
amend the one before them, but be found it could
not be done conEftently with the rules of the
houfe, as it might with propriety be confidtred ra
ttier as a fubfiitut-fi than an amendment, if the one
under eoolideratipn ihould be negatived, and that
luch ought to be its fate, Mr. Dayton inferred, that
merely from the \p(utficiency of the numbers propo
fed therein for the military eltablifhment, but
from the wording of it, which contemplated regi
ments, a term not at ail applicable to the prelent
fyftem of organization, which was a legionary one,
then the way would be opened for him to offer to
the houfe a proportion which he held in his band,
for their information. Mr. Da) ton then read it
as follows viz.
Kdolvtd, That the prefent military eftablifh
mentofthe United States be continued, and the
corps toinpofiog the lame tompleted by enlilt
tnents for a turn not exceeding three years, with
authority to the Pieftdent To forbear to raile, or to
di(charge alter they ih.tll he railed. Inch parr there
of as future events fhall in Ins judgment render coti
fiftent with the public lUieiv, convenience and eco
nomy.
After reacting ir, Mr. ]>iyton remarked,.that he
had been unfriendly to a reduction ot the eltablillt
nient, when the fuhject vvas fonte lime line? under
difeuffion, and that he had heard nothing fince to
induce him to alter that opinion; on the contrary,
two communications from different quarters have
fine'' il. m time been received, which very ninth
ftp ogfhened it. He alluded to a letter from Ge
ne i .il Wa)ne, which was communicated under con
fidential injunction, but which was doubtlefs frelh
in the recollection of every menrtber of the commit
tee, and to a report of the fecretary of war, made
in conlequence of a late requelt ot the houle direc
ted to the prefident. The oi jett which he had in
view was therff. ctual protection of the frontiers in
a manner the lealt inconvenient and harrafling to
the militia, and the ntolt economical to the United
States. There need no proof that calls for the fer
vice of the militia were always attended with great
tnibarralsmeni to our fellow-citizens who compofed
it, and wi»h a walte of money which the other lyf
tem would not occafion. Ivlr. Dayton wilhed to
afeertain witerher in the prefent .unfettled liate of
affairs, while Britain pofseised our putts, and Indi
ans remained hoftile, it was the leniV of the tnajori.
ty that the military eitabiilhment ought to be icdu
ced.
This produced a difcuflion, in which Mr. Nicho
las, Mr. Dayton, Mr. Amts, and Mr. MaJilon
fpolte. The latter gentleman .feetned lather fa
vourable to lowering ilun augmenting the number
of troops in the fervice of the United states. * He
alluded to the report of the treaty fa id to be enter
ed into between this country and Britain, from
which it might be inferred that the llndian boftili
ties on the north weft of the Ohio would flacker*
Mr. Ames, in reply to what had fallen front Mr.
Nicholas, thought it would be bad economy to re
duce the number of troops, "which might rtitd to
prolong the war. The let'er grutlrmaw having re
ferred to rhe foliciun-U*Hjf Mr. Ames for paying off
the po die debt, which lie confidered- as not* quite
confident with itis p relent delire of expending fo
much money on a ltumiiiig army. Mr. Anit-tf re
plied that lie believed the gentleman would he very
much mortified to thick that he pofsefstd as little
property as he (Mr ,Am s) did,- that the report
had been induftriot fly ciuuhoed, as if the po&ef
lion ot public funds had an ii.flutnce in that houie
on the votes of members, and this foolilh calumny
had been dilscminaud with to much fnduftry as to
have had ail inj irious . If ci on tile mi mb. of the pub
lic in font*, parts of t lie union ; and bad much i» flu*
dice in iei * ing tile er.ds of tome p--ople.
Mr. Sedgwick laid, iliat il would be improper to
ditn-tulli tl.e preparations tot war, under any noti
on founded on the report of a- treaty with Britain ;
for if there was loch a treaty, which was not yet
certain, nothing could he'counted upon il till rati
fied hv rhe government here.
The committee role after difagreeing to tf"" re
port. Tin chairman reported progrels, the quef
rion being put, the houfe alfo agreed to the report
of the commit tee.
Mr. Divton then read his refolution on this fub*
ject that has been already inlert«d, and which was
madt the order of the day for to-morrow.'

LAGUILLIANI, November 18.
“ "VT’ESl KRDA Y the Spatiilh or my was attacked
X in the right and left, while the centre was
menaced by a relerve proportioned to our force.—
The republicans fo ught every where with the mote
determined bravery. Our column of the right,
commanded by Btigadier-Gcneral Augereau, exter
minated the whole of live* enemy's left. r\ heir .jr
tillery and tr.rir camps on this point are in ourpol
ftlSoti. Wc do nor yer know the exact number of
cannon taken, but ir imift be confiderable. The
tents and camp equipage would be luflicient for ten
or twelve thoofand men. '! he emigrant’s camp was
preciiely in this part of the enemy’s army. Our
brave brothers in arms nested them as might be
expected from the indiamuion and horror they in
fpire : but, wearied with tarnage, they (pared the
lives of iou8 Spaniards or Porrugoefe, who laid
down their arms -.ml have been conducted to Per
pignan. The efforts of our left agninft the right of
the enemy, were vigorous : but the enemy having
fingularly itrt-ngthened ihemfelves on this point by
feveral lines of redoubts, and as the column which
attacked them could not be very numerous, we did
not penetrate in that quarter. Brigadier-General
Sauret, who commanded our left conducted himtelf
in all thefe attacks with the valour and prudence of
an experienced Republican warrior.
“ I he column ot the centre was employed only
in making diveifmns. The generals, officers and
foldiers, all behaved with valour. Our horle artil
lery, commanded by General Guillaume, and our
cavalry commanded by General Dogua, being in re
iervt in the centre, ha 1 not aa opportunity of gra
tifying their impatience to try the Itierg'h of the
enemy. General Victor, charged with a ft lie at
tack upon Spouilles,directed it with great fkill. In
fine, all our brothers in arms fought in a manner to
deferre the gratitude of the republic.
•* 1 he attack was brilk and bloody ; the defence
obftinate. We know not the number of the ene
my's killed and wounded, but it mutt be coulidera
ble, elptcially on the If It.
“ We have to regret the death of the commander
in chief, Dugonimier. We were upon the Black
Mountain, which he had ofceiuled, the better to lee
and direct the operations. The enemy directed a
conliderable quantity of (hells towards the fpot,
one of which tell on the head of the General, and
killed him inftanrly. 1 lha.il bury him in the fort
of Su’d Libre (Bcllegrade) I leave to the conventi
on the care ol honouring his memory, and fuccouring
his children. Health and Fraternity !
