National Legislature.
TENTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, DEC. 3.
The bill from the Senate for the preservation of peace and maintenance of the U. S. within our ports and harbors, was read twice and referred to a committee of the whole, on Monday next, (a motion having been made by Mr. Bibb without effect to refer it to a select committee.) Ayes 77.
Mr. Randolph moved for the order of the day on the unfinished business of yesterday, being the consideration of the resolution submitted by him.
Mr. M. Williams moved to discharge the committee of the whole from the further consideration of these resolutions, on the ground of the subject being already in possession of committees of the House; the first being in its opinion in the hands of the committee on claims barred, &c. the second, of the committee appointed to revise the militia laws, and the third, of the committee on that part of the President's message relating to military and naval establishments.
After some conversation on the subject between Messrs. Williams, Eppes, and Randolph, the question was taken separately on discharging the committee of the whole from further consideration of each resolution, and each negatived. On the first, ayes 34; on the second, ayes 22; on the third, no division.
The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Bassett in the chair, when
The question was taken on the first resolution, without further discussion, and carried—Ayes 63, Nays 51.
The second resolution (as originally offered) was then agreed to—Ayes 66.
The third resolution was agreed to without a division, and without debate.
The committee rose and reported the resolutions.
The first was agreed to by the House, without a division when the question being about to be taken on the second resolution, on motion of Mr. Randolph was agreed to be taken by Yeas and Nays.
Before the Yeas and Nays were taken, it being 4 o'clock, a motion was made to adjourn, and carried—Ayes 77.
FRIDAY, DEC. 4.
Mr. Chittenden moved the following resolution which was agreed to:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations ought to be made in the several acts regulating the holding of circuit courts in the U. S. and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the House that they had passed a bill making an appropriation for the more effectual defence of the ports and harbors of the U. S.
The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, including an estimate of the appropriations necessary for the service of the year 1808, an account of the receipts and expenditures for the year past, and an account of the balances of former appropriations remaining unexpended; which was referred to the committee of Ways and Means.
The bill from the Senate, making an appropriation for the more effectual defence of the ports and harbors of the U. S. was twice read and referred to the same committee of the whole to whom was referred the bill for fortifying our ports and harbors and building gun-boats.
Mr. Randolph's resolutions were then taken up.
The main question on the second resolution was decided by Yeas and Nays—Yeas 72—Nays 55.
The question was then taken on the third resolution offered by Mr. Randolph, for providing a formidable train of Artillery, and carried without a division.
MONDAY, DEC. 7.
Mr. Dana offered the following resolution which he wished to lie on the table.
Resolved, That it is expedient to provide for regulating the conduct of such merchant vessels, as by agreement of the respective owners, may fall in concert for mutual assistance and defence in any lawful commerce; and also for settling, according to the course of proceeding in courts of admiralty, the respective rates of contribution to be made between them on account of any loss or damage which may be thereby incurred.
Mr. Crowninshield was opposed to going into any regulation on the subject. Where we willing, he asked, to allow our merchant vessels to arm themselves and go in a body, while we were in a state of neutrality? or were we prepared to deny the right of search of merchant vessels for contraband goods? Although (he said) we might be obliged to have recourse to the course pointed out in the resolution, yet, at the present time, it would be improper to adopt it.
Mr. Dana said that it was not the object of the resolution to change the situation of our affairs with regard to foreign nations: it was merely intended as a permanent national regulation. We had laws, he said, regulating the distribution of prize money, and the amount of salvage in cases of recapture—these were permanent laws; and yet they only operated in time of war. If, after discussion, the house should conceive that it was improper to adopt the principle contained in the resolution, it might be rejected. The resolution was agreed to, and made the order of the day for Monday next.
On motion of Mr. Blount, the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill reported by the committee of aggression on the subject of fortifications, and the bill from the Senate making an appropriation for the more effectual defence of the ports and harbors of the U. S. Mr. Bassett in the chair.
Some progress was made in considering the bill, when a MESSAGE in writing was announced from the President of the U. S. by Mr. Coles, his Secretary, and handed to the chair.
It being suggested by Mr. Newton that the message very probably contained information which might bear on the subject now before them.
The Speaker declared the message which had been received to be of a confidential nature; the galleries were accordingly cleared, and the House remained in session with closed doors, from half past 12 o'clock, till a quarter past 5, when they adjourned.
TUESDAY, DEC. 8. The House this day met with closed doors, and after remaining so about twenty minutes, the doors were opened.
The House were occupied nearly the whole of this day in committee of the whole, on the bill from the Senate to appropriate a sum of money for building an additional number of gun-boats and the bill reported by the committee of aggression, for the protection of our ports and harbors.
GUN-BOATS.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill from the Senate, making an appropriation of 850,000 dollars for the building of 188 additional gun-boats.
The former bill being under consideration, a motion was made by Mr. Milnor to strike out the words 'and eighty eight,' so as to restrict the number to 100. This amendment was negatived, 21 only rising in favor of it. On this motion a considerable debate ensued, in which Mr. Milnor supported, and Messrs. Burwell, Crowninshield, Blount, Smilie, Chandler, Newton and Gardenier opposed the amendment, which was lost.
This bill being gone through, the committee took up the bill reported by the committee of aggression; and after some progress made in it, the committee reported the former bill, and obtained leave to sit again on the latter.
Mr. Newton, from the committee of Commerce and Manufactures, reported a bill supplementary to an act for prohibiting the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise into the United States, which was made the order of the day for Thursday next.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9.
Mr. Dawson presented to the House an estimate from the Secretary of War, of the expense of a standing army of 32,500 men:—referred to the committee of the whole.
The house took up the bill from the Senate, for the construction of Gun-Boats. After considerable discussion, ordered for a third reading tomorrow.
POLITICAL.
From the Boston Democrat.
The Tories profess to desire the repeal of the non-importation law, because it tends to 'irritate' Great-Britain.
The proclamation (published in our last) fronts our law of naturalization altogether. This law consequently cannot be continued but in defiance of the sovereign will of his Britannic majesty. And as it must of course be 'calculated to irritate,' it will be expedient, upon tory principles, to repeal this law also—and after that any other and all of our laws, if, being declared null by further proclamations, their continuance will be likely to 'irritate!'
If any thing was wanting to complete the evidence of the devotion of certain federalists to the interests of Britain, it would be found in their extreme tenderness to the feelings of that government—in their great solicitude to avoid 'irritation.' Indeed, to such a depth of meanness do they descend to conciliate her good will, as cannot fail to disgust every friend of American Independence.
While G. Britain does not suffer the negotiation to restrain her murders and her insulting proclamations, we forsooth, must, according to the advice of federalists, negotiate with all humility, hat in hand! While her preparations for the world are going on in Canada, we must retract the past, and refrain from future provisions, for fear of 'irritation!' Now, it seems, we can ensure a peaceful termination of the present dispute by unreciprocated forbearance, by humility alone!
Is it possible that the bullies of '98 have already become so tame? At that time, the men who now would have us avoid all appearance of preparation, left us should 'irritate' the aggressors, told us that the only way to obtain an honourable peace, was to maintain a high and spirited tone, and to assume an attitude of defence, if not of defiance!—They have repeatedly boasted, that the final adjustment of difficulties with France was effected by their menacing attitude, and language of defiance. But now they would persuade us that the same object is to be obtained only by a tone of humility—by avoiding every thing that may tend to 'irritate!' O Federalism! art thou divorced from consistency forever! [Tbid.]
An English Ambassador of the present day is famous for the splendour of his suite. Not long ago the British commenced their Diplomatic approaches at Constantinople, covered by Duckworth's fleet—Jackson presented himself at the court of Denmark, equally well attended—fresh negotiations have been opened at Constantinople in the same style. Is the naval expedition lately fitted out in England, intended as the vettme of Mr. Rose, the new special minister to America? This idea is worth a few reflections. It would not be amiss to make up our minds to realize it. [Tbid.]
Why is it, that the tory papers which endeavour to impede the defensive measures of our government, at the same time exert themselves to hasten the hostility of England? A writer in the Boston Gazette declares that he considers the act lately passed in the Senate, a 'DECLARATION OF WAR,' and 'intended as such!'
What is this but a plain, unequivocal intimation to G. Britain that it is time for her to bombard our cities? For she is certainly justified in attacking a nation which has declared war against her. Why do they hold this language to Britain, if not to persuade her to strike before we are prepared for the blow—and why do they strive to delay our preparations, but to give them time to effect it? Is not their conduct precisely such as faithful spies of Britain would naturally pursue for that purpose?
In old times, when things were called by their right names, the man who should have given the alarm to the enemy, when he supposed the 'intentions' of his countrymen were hostile would have been called a traitor. [Tbid.]
We would beg leave to ask the cautious gentry who are now so fearful of 'irritating' a nation with whom we are negotiating, whether they did not once pass a law disallowing all connection with France—whether they did not the month on which that law was passed, was not celebrated as a joyful anniversary the next year—and whether this law was repealed, to avoid irritation, or to facilitate negotiation; or suffered to stand until the negotiation was terminated by a treaty—and again, whether they do not feel ashamed, on comparing the true answer to these questions with their present complaint of the impolicy of irritating a nation during our negotiation with her? [Tbid.]
From the ESSEX REGISTER.
The Proclamation of the King of Great Britain is now before the public. It is not in the least degree equivocal. It is a most outrageous declaration of war against the rights of all nations. After reading it, no one can entertain an idea of any connexion with England, but those who are prepared to sacrifice the dearest rights of freemen, and own themselves the willing subjects of their sovereign lord, the defender of the faith.
That man is born free, and has an undoubted right to choose his own country, no one will deny but the blind advocates of the divine rights of kings; and no country that has any sense of national dignity will suffer its citizens to be enslaved under the pretence of their being subjects of Great-Britain. The proclamation orders their captains to take all men who were born within the territories of the United Kingdoms—leaving it to the discretion of pirates and murderers who are in want of men to take all the crews from our ships, when they under such wants and prejudices may judge proper. Every man in the country must know, that nature has placed no discriminating marks between us and the subjects of Great-Britain, and that many of our native countrymen cannot be distinguished from the rudest inhabitants of Scotland and Ireland. Thus circumstanced, the wants of the licentious commanders of the British ships will be the measure of the safety of our seamen. If they have full crews our fellow-citizens may escape, but if they are in want of men, speaking the English language will be sufficient evidence to justify them in taking whole crews from our ships—and when we add to this the impunity with which they escape after the most violent aggressions, with what safety can we navigate the ocean?
Thus the British nation madly wages war with universal nature—they are at actual war with all languages but the English, and this proclamation is aimed exclusively at that. Any man on board our vessels, who speak any language but our own, is to be taken as an enemy of war and confined in their prison ships—those who speak our language are to be presumed native subjects of the United Kingdoms, to be obliged to assist in plundering and enslaving their countrymen, and fighting against their allies, in which latter case, if they are taken, they are liable to lose their lives as pirates.
As Britain claims the right of search for seamen as well as property, a question naturally arises, why in one case they are tried before condemnation, and in the other are condemned by the captains of ships who are in want of crews, without a hearing? Is the value of liberty, and the preservation of our lives and limbs, of less value than a little paltry property?—No—that is not the answer. The true reason is, that the proportion of those that they can prove English subjects in a court of judicature, is so small to the number taken, that it would defeat their object to go through the solemnities of a trial. The only justifiable manner of altering this right (even allowing it to them) would defeat its own object, and they would give it up. But whilst they can confound Americans with Englishmen, and have English captains to act as judges, our countrymen must fill their fleets and fight their battles. Those who have the best proofs possible of their citizenship can hardly expect to return in less time than two years from captivity. It has been proved, that not one in ten whom they have taken are British subjects.
The most abominable principle in this proclamation is, that naturalization shall be no protection. Almost all nations naturalize the subjects of others, and in no nation is naturalization so easy as in Great-Britain. Yet in face of all this, they have ordered their captains to take our naturalized citizens who were born in the British dominions. Our government, we trust, will properly resent this indignity.
We have admitted those who are naturalized to all the rights of American citizens—of which rights, one of the most important is, security from foreign violence. Our Government cannot treat on such terms, if they do our constitution and laws are a dead letter—they are annulled by a British proclamation, and we must submit to the new law of nations "that power gives right," as has been illustrated in Denmark, and in this proclamation. Such submission would be a subversion of every principle of our government.
AMERICANUS.
Let it be recorded, say the federalists, that they are opposed to the measures recommended by the President. If that is the case, let it also be remembered, that they ought to be treated as the Tories were in our revolution, and be obliged to take refuge within the lines of the enemy. It would be unreasonable for these malcontents to enjoy the benefits of the war, should it prove successful, at the same time have a back door to crawl out, if it should be disastrous. By this fraternal if resolute partook of more blessings by the revolution, than the veterans who fought the battles. If the Juntos are opposed to the measures of government, let them quit the country as soon as they please. [Chronicle.]
Foreign Intelligence.
HAMBURGH, OCT. 8.
We learn that the exchange of couriers is very frequent between the Russian and Swedish governments, and that the most important affairs are transacting between the two Courts.
OCTOBER 21.
It is confidently asserted that the English are going to send their German Legion to Sweden, in order to succour the only ally they have remaining in Europe, and who will not fail to draw upon himself a terrible war if he continues to follow a system so contrary to his own interests.
AUGSBURG, OCT. 20.
Letters from Italy state, that the English have experienced a fresh check in Egypt; they promise to give in a short time the details of this affair.
PARIS, OCT. 17.
The latest news from Russia, from the north of Germany, and from Italy, announces that the most rigorous measures were everywhere taking against the commerce of the English.
VENICE, OCT. 11.
We learn from Malta that a decision has been received there from the English government, ordering that in future no flag shall be looked upon as neutral, and that all nations who are not allies of England, shall be looked upon and treated as enemies.
KIEL, OCT. 17.
On the landing of the English in Zealand, the Crown Prince sent the following note to Gen. Peyman; which was entrusted to a Danish officer, who being taken by one of the British patrols, destroyed it:
'Unpleasant as it may be to imagine the possibility of surrendering Copenhagen to the enemy, and little as I fear this surrender while you have the command, I nevertheless think it necessary to notify to you, that should the misfortune happen, which God forbid, that Copenhagen should be taken, it is the will and command of his Majesty that before the City is surrendered, the Fleet shall be set fire to, and burned, as his Majesty thinks this the least of two evils, as he considers it as a much less evil to know that the Fleet is burned than to see it fall into the hands of the enemy of his Majesty and of the Country; and thus afford them an opportunity for a triumph which no Danish subject can endure to witness.'
LONDON, NOV. 10.
Russia has unequivocally refused to enter into any negotiation with this country for a renewal of the Treaty of Commerce.
PORTUGAL.
His Majesty's ship Narcissus is arrived in the channel, with a Fleet under convoy, from Oporto, which place it left on the 15th inst. having on board most of the English Factory, being warned by the Prince Regent to leave the country, in consequence of French troops being daily expected to march in.

NOVEMBER 8.—It is said, that Lucien Bonaparte has been reconciled to Napoleon; and that the latter is about forming some new kingdom for him.
We have letters, and other accounts, from Lisbon down to the 24th October. On the 23rd October, the Prince Regent, issued the following Proclamation:
[TRANSLATION.]
'It has always been my most zealous endeavour to maintain, in my States, during the present war, the most perfect neutrality, from a knowledge of the benefits resulting therefrom to the subjects of this crown:—But it is impossible any longer to preserve it;—Therefore in consideration of what is most conducive to humanity, and to a general Peace; it is my pleasure to accede to the cause of the Continent; and to unite myself to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French, and King of Italy; and to his Catholic Majesty; for the purpose of accelerating a maritime peace. I am therefore, pleased to order, that the ports of this kingdom be immediately shut against the entry of British ships of war, as also merchant vessels.'
The Supreme Court of Justice is charged with the execution of this decree. Palace of Ajuda, 22nd Oct. 1807. (Signed) JOZE FREDERICK LUDUVICE.
FROM FRENCH PAPERS.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 3.
Three Russian ships of the Line coming from Archangel, with 5 frigates, passed the Sound this week. They had pilots as usual, at Elsinore, but as all the buoys had been removed, one of the ships of 74 guns and 400 men, struck upon Saltholm. After showing for several hours signals of distress, they asked assistance from the English Admiral, who refused it. The Danes had not a vessel at their command, and could not help them. The ship making much water, threw over her guns. Whether she will float again is doubtful. Our seamen say it is impossible.
HAMBURG, OCT. 2.
Day before yesterday afternoon, the post-boat from Venice to Hamburg, was upset by a gust, with more than 70 passengers on board.—How many have perished is yet unknown—27 bodies have been recovered, of whom six were in each others arms. The principal part of the goods were saved.—Such an accident has not happened for many years.
The Commander of the ships which blockade Venice, declared to the Russian Admiral who was entering that Port, that the British government held that port in a state of blockade, and that he must not enter it. The Russian Admiral replied, that he received no orders but from his own sovereign, and that he knew no blockade of Venice.—The English officer, much dissatisfied with the answer, made a formal protest against this violation of the blockade, and left the coast of Venice to cruise in the Adriatic, after having dispatched one of his cutters to Admiral Collingwood to inform him of what had passed.
6000 Danish troops have entered Zealand since the English left. The new British Minister has not been received by the King of Denmark.
To recent propositions of compromise made by the British to the Danish Government, the latter answered, 'that they received the offers and the threats of England with equal indignation.'

LATEST ADVICES.
The United States Sch'r Revenge, Capt. Read, has arrived in New-York from France, with dispatches from Mr. Munroe, and from Mr. Armstrong, our Minister in Paris. She left Cherbourg the 9th November. Dr. Bollus, who went out in the Revenge, and returned in her, sat off expreßs for Washington, with the dispatches. He reached New-York in a hired boat several hours before the Revenge got up.
There had been an embargo of six weeks, at Cherbourg; but the Apollo, Capt. Vaughan, of this port, was permitted to sail with the Revenge, having Mr. Bowdoin, and suite, on board.
MR. MUNROE.
Capt. Decoß arrived at New-Bedford, on Tuesday last.—He was a passenger with Mr. Munroe, our Minister, on board the Augustus, Captain Howe, from England, bound to Norfolk; but on Saturday last, when about eight leagues from Cape-Henry, speaking a coasting vessel bound to New-Bedford, he took passage in her; and left the Augustus pursuing her course to Norfolk, where she probably arrived the next day.—The Augustus left Cowes about the 14th November; and the British Envoy, Mr. Rose, in the Statira frigate, failed the day before.
We have no doubt that Mr. Munroe, and Mr. Rose, are now in Washington, or on the road thither. [Saturday's Boston Centinel.]
An arrival from Liverpool has brought London papers two days later than those received last week. The British General Blockading Proclamation had not been published the 24th November, A.M. but was expected to be, that evening.
A strong British squadron has been spoken in the Indian seas, supposed destined against Manila.
Our accounts from Portugal, direct from Lisbon, are later than those in the London prints. The reported naval victory, we believe to be unfounded.—It is said to have originated in the arrival at Gibraltar of a Russian squadron. Lord Collingwood's fleet was at Malta. [Ibid.]
In France the appearances of hostility against England returned with all the enthusiasm which their victories and their hopes can create. The Flotilla on the Coast was arming again, and the Minister of Marine was present to encourage every effort. The troops are all collecting on the coast, as if some formidable attempt would be made to invade England. The Camp at Boulogne was again established and the blockading decree was to be executed with all the vigilance of the French Nation.
Important to Navigators in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean.
The Prince of Peace has just caused to be published, in the Gazette of Madrid, a notice of which the following is an extract:
'The ship la Pala, belonging to the Philippine company and commanded by D. J. B. Monteverde, going from Manila to Lima, has discovered, the 18th Feb. 1806, a group of islands, the most southern of which is situated about 3 degrees 27 minutes of north latitude, 162 degrees 5 minutes of longitude, to the eastward of Cadiz. These islands, 29 in number, occupy a space of ten leagues from N. E. to S. E. and are separated by channels one or two leagues wide; they are low and intersected by forests, and rivulets. Their inhabitants are of the most pacific disposition—They are tall and well made, robust and agile. Their complexion is of an olive colour; their noses flat, and hair black and curled, but rather long.'
Letters from Washington, (says the last Boston Centinel,) are extremely contradictory:—While some talk of an embargo, and of inevitable War, others state the strongest probability of an accommodation, in the event of reparation being made for the attacks on the Chesapeake:—that some points, which cannot be settled, will be postponed indefinitely; and that the Non-Importation laws, and the various offensive and defensive measures reported and talked of, will die abortions. We have seen letters, as late as the 11th, which hold out the prospect of accommodation. Perhaps the opinions of the writers, on both sides, have been influenced by their wishes.—Whether or not—we think the crisis is at hand.—Ere this, the Administration must be in possession of all the intelligence it can want, to decide on Peace or War.—Mr. Munroe, Mr. Rose, the British King's Proclamation, and the dispatches by the Revenge must all have reached Washington, on the heels of each other. The uneasy tiptoe expectation of the public cannot therefore long remain unsatisfied.
The increasing prosperity of our Country is exemplified in the history of New-York. The treasurer of that City reports the receipts in the past year to have been 94,000 dollars and the expenditures only 80,000. Its population was in the present month 83,000,000, which gives an increase of 8000 since February 1806. The Bill of mortality for the City in the week ending Dec. 5, was 22, 16 adults and 6 children. The Bill of Philadelphia for the same time was 30, 22 adults and 8 children. [Essex Register.]

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Washington, well acquainted with public affairs, to his friend near Boston, dated Dec. 10.
"I do not believe there is much prospect of an accommodation with Great-Britain. That she is willing to gain time, cannot be doubted. The return of her fleet from Copenhagen, and the arming of the ships of war taken there, will probably enable them to infest our coast with a large fleet the next spring...
