TUESDAY, December 19.
DEBATE ON THE JOINT RESOLUTION
Approving the conduct of the Executive in relation to the refusal to receive any further communication from Francis Jas. Jackson.
In committee of the whole Mr. BASSETT in the chair.
[Mr. Dana's Speech continued.]
Thus far, sir, I have considered the resolution before us as not warranted by the official language of the president of the U. States and the secretary of state. In addition to what has already been observed with this view, it is to be noted that the president in his message to Congress, has not even mentioned Mr. Jackson's circular letter to the British consuls. This letter, indeed, and its being put into circulation, are noticed, but not with laborious hardness of phrase, in the letter of the 23d of November, from secretary Smith to Mr. Pinkney. But the president of the United States did not regard the subject as worthy to be named by him when giving to Congress information of the state of the union and recommending the measures necessary and expedient.
The president's message and the secretary's letter appear expressive of a disposition to use language which should not in its manner be offensive to the British government itself, and to suspend proceedings of an hostile character until an answer may be received from that government. This resolution appears to be formed on directly opposite principles. What, sir, can Congress, can any man think it necessary to say that they will support the president in refusing to receive a communication from a foreign minister, or, that they will support him with the whole force of the nation in so refusing? You do not expect the minister to force a communication on the president. This is too absurd and cannot be the real meaning of the resolution. The only manly idea intended to be conveyed by the resolution in this respect must be, that the Congress mean to support the president in a conflict with the British government eventually. Why, sir, is such language at the present time proposed for adoption, as if it were either necessary or expedient? The British government perhaps may not be perfectly satisfied with the conduct of this administration towards the minister from Great Britain to the U. States and yet it might be thought proper to recall him; because unacceptable to the president of the U. S. because the president has requested his recall, and because under existing circumstances the further continuance of such a minister in this country might not be useful to the government that sent him. Do you wish to place the affair in such a state as to render it peculiarly difficult for the British government to recall him, except in prelude to war?
Do you approve the procedure of the president in causing application to be made by the secretary of state in a style of guarded decorum, instructing the American minister at London to request the recall of the British minister who has been here received, and will you send a menace to accompany the request? In this view what is the proposed resolution, if it be any thing? What is meant by a solemn pledge to the world for calling into action the whole force of a nation eventually against a foreign power? If language has certainty of meaning, it is a provisional defiance of war, solemnly made known to the world—a national challenge to battle. Have you weighed fully all that is implied in this defiance of war? Are you prepared to sustain it fully by all your means? Or can you say that you do not intend this? Is it possible that the representatives of the people of the U. S. can solemnly announce to the world a pledge to call into action the whole force of the nation, and yet that it can be all idle words? That in fact they intend to do no such thing
as they promise? Are we indeed prepared to pronounce ourselves fallen thus low?
Considering gentlemen as serious in announcing this pledge to the world, and giving this national defiance to war, I ask what is to be the result of the conflict if we are not prepared for it, and how far are we prepared? This enquiry suggests an intention to the resolution under two different aspects, as we know the relations of executive departments to be affected or varied according to views of peace or war. On questions of great national controversy, the department of state has in charge to attend to those gratifying themes, the rights, the honor and dignity of the nation and government. And these themes may be presented the more for public attention as the state of affairs becomes hostile until their most imposing influence over the public passions is realised under the operations of declared war. In a state of peace the department of the treasury may attract regard from redundancy of revenue and extinction of debt, and projects of improvement. But the frown of war reverses the scene. On this department is now devolved the task of devising ways and means for supplying extraordinary expenditure of waste. The ungrateful subjects of attention are the exhaustion of the treasury—loans—taxation—the option of difficulties in procuring money—the choice between different modes of imposing pecuniary burdens on the people. If this resolution be pursued according to its import, additional charges on the people must be required. To give eclat to the department of state, can you be willing to embarrass the department of the treasury?
There is another reason why we should be cautious. Can it be expedient for the public to make experiments tending to waste the national character? More than two years have elapsed since an interditory proclamation was fulminated from the palace against the British navy. A squadron concerned in committing the offence mentioned in the proclamation, was suffered to remain for several months within the waters of the United States in open defiance of the executive interdict and the exclusive right of territorial jurisdiction. There that squadron was suffered to remain, although the power given to the President by statute, I believe, extended to employing the military and naval forces of the United States and the militia at the President's discretion, to compel respect to his proclamation. The offending squadron was suffered to remain there, notwithstanding the number, which the government had, of those vessels denominated gun-boats. The indignity then was greater than is to be found in the subject of this resolution. Yet the government did not then assert the paramount right of territorial sovereignty with effect. With such experience, what honor, what utility is to be expected from passing this resolution now? What is to be expected but irritation without benefit, embarrassment without extrication? When they attend to your measures, will foreign powers believe that such a resolution proves your title to respect?
[Mr. Dana's Speech to be continued.]

FOREIGN. VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, November 13.
The reported defeat of the Toulon fleet, has not yet received that confirmation which those, who, on Saturday so confidently announced the event, expected. Whatever may have been the event, the report is at any rate premature. We shall, however, sincerely rejoice at a confirmation of the rumour.
The coincidence of circumstances between the battle of Talavera, and that in which the duke del Parque has defeated the French under gen. Marchand, is not a little extraordinary. In the battle of Talavera the French army attacked the British, who were posted on a height. At the battle of Tamema the French attacked the army of the duke del Parque, which was posted on a height. The defeat of the French, in both instances, has been contended for. Lord Wellington, however, only talked of following the enemy—but the insulted Spaniards assert, that their army pursued the French and captured one piece of cannon. We, however, see no cause to yield our reason to our wishes. Either, the French force has been much smaller than is represented, or the consequences of their defeat and retreat will turn out to be of negative advantage. What have we seen to induce a belief that 12000 inexperienced Spanish troops, should completely defeat 12000 veterans, supported by a superiority of cavalry and artillery? We hope that the consequences of this victory will not be so lamentable as were those of Talavera.
The Spaniards, it seems, are levying fresh troops with great vigor, and want only arms. Is it credible, that, with all their vigor, Ministers should have found the manufactory of England incompetent to supply the Spaniards?
A report was in circulation this afternoon, that the French general Kellerman, had arrived in town—but we have been unable to trace it to any correct source. That such a visit should be made, would not at all surprise us; but however the defenders of the Cintra Convention, of which that general was the negotiator—might be rejoiced at the arrival of so unskillful a diplomatist, as in their opinions he must be—we tremble for the collective wisdom of the Cabinet, if opposed to that of this Frenchman.
Lord Wellesley was expected to embark at Cadiz in the first week of this month—His Lordship, we understand, has agreed to join the present administration. It is supposed he will take the management of the Foreign Department.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Oct. 26.
Lord Wellington leaves here to-morrow to join the army.
A serious affray took place last night at Belem:—some of the 1st dragoons drinking in a tavern, quarrelled among themselves. The man of the house went out and called in the Portuguese police, who attacked the dragoons and shot one of them dead. The dragoons immediately drew their swords, killed three of the police & wounded several. One of the police placed himself behind a door where he expected some of the dragoons would enter; but it happened to be his own officer that first came in. The police man run him through the heart, and he instantly expired.
A letter from Cadiz, dated Oct. 20, contains the following:
The Marquis of Wellesley still remains at Seville.
The immortal Geronimo has, we fear, fallen.
Could your Ministers be persuaded to make a radical reform in the Commissariat department, and place experienced mercantile men at the head, with full powers to act, your army would then be useful allies to the Spaniards; as matters stand, they are only in the way; and destroy in one week that which, properly husbanded, might serve a month.
A letter from Seville, dated October 20, says:
What with threats from Cadiz, with plots in this city, and with open rebellion to the established Councils in Valencia, the Government is completely paralyzed. Nothing is done either in commerce or civil affairs, or even in military concerns, except sending recruits to the armies, which is attended to as fast as weapons can be provided for them, and arrangements made for their subsistence.
Bonaparte, it is stated, has convened a Conclave of Cardinals at Paris, for the purpose as is rumored, of placing Fesche at the head of the Romish Church.
Letters from Cadiz state a prevailing opinion that the supreme Junta would be
dissolved, and the Archbishop of Toledo declared Regent. The 28th was the day appointed for electing the new President of the Junta. It was supposed that Marquis Wellesley would defer his return, until the issue of this great political crisis was known.
November 14.
In the different offices of government, it was said, yesterday afternoon, that a merchant in the city of the name of Hogham, had received a Moniteur, stating that six French line of battle ships had been destroyed in a late action, in the Mediterranean, and four English. As the Moniteur, however, has not been sent to his majesty's ministers, which of course it would have been had it contained that intelligence, we doubt whether any such paper has been received. But we are not at all weakened in our belief that an action has taken place, and a victory been gained. The article from Nisus, in the Rotterdam Courant of the 9th, is decisive in our minds as to the fact of two ships of the line having been driven on shore and blown up. But, we trust, that this is not the sole loss sustained by the enemy—that these two ships will prove to have been the two which attempted to make their escape after the defeat of the French fleet, and were run ashore to prevent their falling into our hands. And this belief we are led to indulge with some confidence by other accounts which have been received, and which state that the enemy lost six sail of the line in the action. The Seville Diary of October 14, stated, that there had been an obstinate action on the coast of Marseilles, between the French fleet from Toulon, and the English fleet under Lord Collingwood; that the loss of the French was six ships, and that of the English four; but that the whole of the French convoy had been taken. The same paper of the 17th, states that the French convoy had been carried into Majorca.
Some letters from Caen of the 7th, mention the action in general terms, and say that the French were defeated, but give no particulars. If the French papers acknowledge the action, they will of course attempt to make a set off against any loss they have sustained, by declaring that our loss was nearly as great. After the victories of the 1st of June, of Aboukir, and Trafalgar, they said, in speaking of that of Aboukir, that they had one ship blown up. With respect to the battle of Trafalgar, they actually published bulletins in different parts of France, claiming the victory, and asserting that we had lost 10 or 12 sail of the line. We perfectly well remember that some British seamen who were prisoners of war at the time in France, did not know the result of the battle till they returned home. Equally false was the account they published of the result of the battle of the 1st June—but there was something ludicrous in the lie—for they actually declared that part of their fleet [that which we had either taken, sunk, or destroyed] was left blockading the British fleet in Portsmouth harbor.
Yesterday afternoon a cabinet council was held at the foreign office, which was attended by the following members: the lord Chancellor, earls Bathurst, Camden, Chatham, Liverpool, and Harrowby; lord Mulgrave, and Chancellor of the exchequer.
We are sorry to hear that earl Camden is very severely indisposed, at his house in Arlington-street.
Yesterday several ladies, who have been inhumanly detained in France during the war, arrived in town, in consequence of the order which has at length been given for the release of the women. A gentleman also contrived to make his escape, and came over in the same vessel, an American. He left Paris on the 14th inst. They all confirm the account of Bonaparte's epilepsy, and say that he continues at Fontainebleau for the purpose of recruiting his health. But his mind is as active as ever. He is, if possible, more rancorous in his enmity to England. All the endeavors that have been made by the British government to procure an exchange of prisoners, or the enlargement of those detained at the commencement of the war, have failed. They all speak of the state of wretchedness that prevails in the country. Universal complaints are heard of the fatal effects of his insatiable ambition.
Letters from Cadiz of the 29th and 30th ult. state, that the French were concentrating their forces round Madrid; and that the Spanish armies remain in the same positions as our former accounts stated.
We once stated that the project of the appointment of the cardinal of Toledo as regent, was negatived. After which the principle of the executive committee was agreed upon; and a specific plan for the conduct of the government proposed, but this was also negatived. A second plan was then digested, and was to be taken into consideration, but the fate of this proposition we have not heard, though it was
