HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, January 5.
DEBATE
On the resolution for requesting the president to cause an enquiry to be made into the conduct of general Wilkinson. [CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Cardenier's Speech continued.)
On a question of this kind he could not condescend to reason. It was too plain, palpable almost to the sense, that this enquiry was within the limits of their constitutional power. There could be no question that the house possessed a right to lay a request before the president—a right which was possessed by the meanest individual in society. It only then remained for the house to determine whether they would act upon this subject, so important in every point of view; after a deaf ear had been turned to this accusation in the palace, it remained for them to say, whether they would suffer venality and corruption to run through this body unhurt. He hoped never to see that day when the house would so much disgrace itself as to refuse to do what became a duty. If documents submitted to the house by the gentleman from Virginia were authentic, if these documents spoke the truth, there could be no hesitation in saying that a continuance of general Wilkinson at the head of the American army, was not only disgraceful to the nation, but inconsistent with its security. If it were true that the gentleman from Orleans territory had it in his power to give evidence still more convincing than any that could be found in the documents which had been submitted by the gentleman from Virginia, and Mr. G. had much reason to believe, and indeed had no doubt that the gentleman had it in his power, it would be proper to obtain that evidence; and if the course had been pursued as stated (and he did not question the fact) to institute a committee before the proceedings of the house had terminated on the subject, an enquiry to be carried on by persons possessed of such powers as that now proposed to be delegated to a committee, to send for persons, papers, &c. and if the gentleman from Orleans persisted in his word as he always did; this enquiry would appear, if not intended, at least calculated to mislead. For, as he understood it, this committee, this board of officers, this trio of the president's, had not the power, if authorised to pursue the enquiry, to the utmost extent that the nature of the case demanded, to enforce their process; they were a substitute for the reality, a mere make-believe. It was therefore that he was not to be taken in by this; it was therefore that he was bound to do his duty to his country by persisting in an investigation; that at least if he could not satisfy the executive, he might satisfy the American people; for when its nature was known the calumny would not be so great.
This disposition for enquiry seemed to be manifested on all sides of the house. They wished to ascertain with unerring certainty whether this charge was true or not. If the mode which they were told (on what authority he did not know) was pursued by the government; if that mode would not reach the object which was now aimed at, why refuse to delegate this power to a committee? This measure of appointing a court of enquiry was not communicated to the house officially as it ought to be in order to stop their proceedings, nor in such a way that they could place confidence in it, not meaning at the same time any disrespect to the gentleman from Kentucky who had stated the circumstance. It was sufficient for Mr. G. that such a court was not competent; and here he pledged himself, as upon a rock from which he would not be removed, that it was not in the power, if it was in the disposition of the president from his own authority to go on with an enquiry of this sort, except the house gave him the authority on which to support it. He did not know whether the president had the power to compel the attendance of witnesses, except in cases of military matters and military men. How then was the evidence of the gentleman from Orleans to be got at? How, but by the intervention of the great constitutional power of this house—the only way. If then those gentlemen were sincere who wished to give general Wilkinson an opportunity of showing his innocence, or those who doubted it, and wished to have an opportunity of giving evidence of his guilt, the mode which Mr. G. proposed was the only one: if not the only, assuredly the most proper way.
What was the accusation? Not for an overt act or crime—not for an offence committed in the face of day, or which was capable of open proof. The crime was secret, if committed at all. The very nature of the act, being done in secret, carefully avoiding public attention, acting with such precaution as not to permit his name to be written or spoken, required a particular mode of proceeding. There was no other mode which would give satisfaction to the people of this country than a candid, fair, impartial, and unprejudiced investigation. If general Wilkinson could walk unhurt through the flames of such an ordeal, he deserved the confidence of the people; if not, it became the duty of the house to enquire further. {Speech to be continued.}
FROM FRENCH PAPERS.
BERLIN, Oct. 12.
The park of artillery at Posen is to be transported to Warsaw and Thorn to strengthen the fortifications of those places. Several corps of the grand army are in movement. Some are resuming their cantonments in Prussia; some pursue their march towards France; and others are joining the army of Marshall Bernadotte. The administration of the school of industry, for poor children at Berlin, have asked permission of the queen of Prussia to give that establishment the name of the School of Louisa. Her majesty replied in the most flattering terms, and made the usual a present of 100 Fredericks of gold.
FRANKFORT, Oct. 11.
The presents recently sent to the emperor Alexander by the emperor Napoleon, are estimated at eight millions. It is expected that his majesty the emperor Napoleon, will take a journey to Italy; and that the emperor of Austria will also take a journey thither.
AUGSBURG, Oct. 16.
Several letters from Vienna inform that the Russian army which had begun to evacuate Wallachia, had occupied it anew, and even with reinforcements of other troops from Bessarabia, and that they had made heavy requisitions—Yet, the conclusion of peace between Russia and the Porte, it is thought, does not experience any difficulty.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 17.
The enemy has carried away our fleet, the value of which is estimated at four million seven hundred and seventy five thousand rix dollars, calculating merely the expence of building them. The ships of the line, Christian VII. of 96 guns, cost 240,000 rix dollars; the Neptune of 84 cost 212,000 rix dollars; the 74's 186,000 those of 64 guns 261,000; frigates of 44 guns, 97,900; those of less force, 60,000 the brigs 40,000, &c.
PARIS, Oct. 11.
According to the last news from Bayonne, the head quarters of the army commanded by gen Junot were at Pamphelune the capital of Spanish Navarre.

CAUCUSING.
The following notices were found stuck up in the house of representatives on Thursday morning—the one signed S. R. Bradley was printed—the other in manuscript:
"SIR, In pursuance of the powers vested in me, as president of the late convention of the republican members of both houses of congress, I deem it expedient, for the purpose of nominating suitable & proper persons for president and vice president of the U. S. at the next presidential election, to call a convention of said republican members, to meet at the senate chamber, on Saturday the 23d instant, at 6 P M at which time and place your personal attendance is requested, to aid the meeting with your influence, information and talents. "Dated at Washington, 19th January, 1808. "S. R. BRADLEY."
"In pursuance of a similar power vested in me with that assumed by Stephen R. Bradley of the senate. CONTRARY to the true principles of the constitution, I deem it expedient for the purpose of not nominating any character for president & vice president of the U.S. for the next presidential election, not to call a convention, alias Caucus, of the republican members, to meet at the senate chamber on Saturday, the 23d instant, at 6 o'clock P M at which time and place the
personal attendance of the said republican members is not requested: to aid the constitutional meeting collected by the late Stephen R. Bradley; and at which time and place I hereby request they will not attend to aid and sanction the infringement of one of the most important features and principles of the constitution of the U. S. "JOSIAH MASTERS. "Washington, Jan. 21, 1808."
The senate on Friday passed the bill authorising the erection of a bridge over the Potomac, with some amendments, the most important of which is, that at the end of sixty years, the corporation shall die, and the bridge cense to the U. S. The ayes and noes on its passage were as follows: Ayes, Messrs. Bayard, Bradley, Coddington, Crawford, Franklin, Gaillard, Gilman, Goodrich, Howland, Kitchel, Mathewson, Milledge, Moore, Pope, Robinson, Smith of T. Turner and White, 18. Noes, Messrs. Adams, Anderson, Giles, Gregg, Hillhouse, Maclay, Mitchell, Parker, Pickering, Reed, Smith of M. Smith of N. Y. Sumter and Thruston, 14.
CASE OF JOHN SMITH.
On the 20th instant, Mr. Tiffin, a Senator from the State of Ohio, was examined in his seat. The Senate then took up the report of the select committee, as given in our last, and adopted the same—Yeas 25—Nays 6; by which Mr. Smith is allowed till the first day of March to produce testimony. A resolution offered by Mr. Pope, for summoning Elias Glover and William McFarlane, was disagreed to—Yeas 7—Nays 23. Nat. Intell.
The motion made by Mr. Adams, some days since, to appoint a committee to enquire into the expediency of fixing the duration of the Embargo, was yesterday taken up in the Senate and negatived. ibid.
The military court of enquiry in the case of General Wilkinson met on Wednesday, the 20th instant, and adjourned till the 25th instant, without transacting any business. ibid.
There existed an embargo at Bordeaux, (probably until the 25th November) on account of the frigates which have arrived at Martinique. These frigates sailed on the 17th November, and the embargo generally lasts eight days after the sailing of national vessels on a distant service. New-York paper.
Captain Ridgeway informs, that a few days before he sailed from Tobago, and before St. Croix was taken by the British, Baron Fritz revolted; all the soldiers and civil officers of the west end of St. Croix, including a part of the standing troop, having joined in the plot; but the latter would not consent to kill their officer. This plot was fortunately discovered and much blood saved. Some of the principal officers and most of the monied men of the W. E. were to have been massacred. Baron Fritz was secured, tried, and sentenced to be shot. ibid.
By the Resolution captain Brown, arrived at Boston on Sunday se'mnight from Liverpool.
We have been informed, says a London paper of Nov. 14, that it is in the contemplation of government to afford convoys to our ships trading with Hayti, as no less than 15 vessels, destined for that island, are now wind-bound, some of whose cargoes are estimated at from 30 to 40,000 pounds.
Every precaution has been taken to prevent any intercourse between Heliogoland and the continent.
We learn that the Dutch government has adopted a more rigorous decree against our commerce; and that all colonial produce, and all manufactures whatever, suspected of having come from England or her dependencies, are in future to be seized.
The government had inspected all the merchandise in the custom-house, the shops and magazines of the merchants, and such as appeared or was considered as of English manufacture, was sequestered.
At Cuxhaven, at Altona, and at Glukstadt, the principle of the French decree against the commerce of England, was as rigidly enforced as it was in any port of France or Holland.
WASHINGTON, Jan 20.
Proceedings this day.
The Speaker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, in closing (in obedience to a resolution of the house) an account of the tonnage exclusively employed in the exportation of articles the growth or manufacture of the U. S. Ordered to be referred to the committee of the whole to whom was some days since referred a resolution submitted by

Mr. Davis, for the encouragement and protection of American seamen. The house went into committee of the whole on the bill to amend the several acts more effectually to provide for the national defence by the militia of the U. S. immediately afterwards a message was received from the president of the U. S. transmitting a communication in writing, in pursuance of two resolutions some days ago submitted by Mr. Randolph & Mr. Eppes, respecting an inquiry into the conduct of general Wilkinson, &c.
The message and documents were referred to a select committee. The house then again went into committee of the whole on the above bill. Mr. Clay moved to fill the blank in the first section with the words "26."
Mr. Chandler said, that as this was a very important bill, he moved that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again. General Varnum (speaker) hoped the committee would rise, and that they would be refused leave to sit again on this bill. He thought, that in the present situation of our affairs it would be improper to pass such a law. It had been said that it was necessary to class the militia: this might be the case; but such a classification would not meet the sense of the nation. If the different states had done their duty according to the constitution, the militia were certainly capable of defending the country; if they had not, there was nothing in that bill to induce them to do their duty. If the militia, as was said, were incapable of defending the country, there was nothing wanting but a proper degree of subordination. Some of the most brilliant battles of the revolutionary war were fought by the militia. The militia, from 16 to 45, who considered themselves as a band of brothers, and who had been acting together heretofore, would consider a classification an odious distinction. Was it to be supposed that young men who had never been in service would be better able to do duty than men who knew the nature of discipline, and who had besides families and property to defend. He believed the militia of the U. S. was in general at present well organized. The state he had the honor to represent in part had 70,000 militia well organized: their artillery companies, in particular, were not inferior in discipline to any in the world. The bill of the table provided, that men between 18 and 45 should never go farther in service than to a neighboring state. Thus it happened, that in case of invasion, all the young men would be cut up, whereas the whole body of the militia had been not out at once, the enemy might have been repelled immediately. He hoped the house would not now adopt any new regulations which would tend to disorganize the militia.
Mr. Clay contended that the present militia system was extremely defective. He hoped that gentlemen, instead of going into detail of the bill, would confine their arguments to the principle of it. Mr. Lyon said as this nation would never consent to raise a standing army some thing ought to be done to provide an effectual system of defence. He contended, that in attempting to make regular soldiers of the whole body of militia, the house would lose their object and make soldiers none. He was sorry to see the great influence possessed and exerted on this subject by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Gen. Varnum) whenever it came before the house. He contended that notwithstanding all that had been said by that gentleman, the whole body of militia could never conveniently march together. He had some experience on this subject as well as the gentleman, and he said some regulation of this kind would be adopted. He wished to see young men impressed with a due sense of their own duty, and not liable to be cut and slashed and kicked and caned by every creature that assumed an officer. The gentleman from Massachusetts had told his old story of their having commanded a body of well disciplined men. He believed that gentleman now commanded a brigade or perhaps a division; he knew he once commanded a regiment; but because his regiment had been well disciplined, was that
an argument that all the militia of the U. S. were well disciplined. And if the gentleman did indeed command a division, he very much doubted whether it was as well disciplined as his regiment had been. — The gentleman had said and made a great bug bear of it, that in case of invasion, the young men would all be cut to pieces, while the old ones would stay at home; but there was nothing in the bill which declared that any act of men should stay at home while their neighbors were in danger. He hoped in God no law would ever pass exempting any class of citizens from duty, when they were wanted for the defence of the country. The gentleman talked about men from 16 to 45 being a band of brothers: this was contrary to common sense. (Gen Varnum denied his having said so) Mr. Lyon asked the gentleman pardon, he had understood him as having said so; if he had misunderstood him, he must impute it to the "thickness of his skull." He hoped the all powerful influence of the gentleman would not destroy the bill.
Gen Varnum said from what had fallen from his friend from Kentucky, he believed it would be necessary for the committee to rise, in order that the bill might be further considered. He then pointed out some improprieties in the bill. Mr. Nelson thought it useless for the committee to rise for the purpose of having further time to consider the bill; it had been on the table 18 days, which was quite sufficient. He contended that the principle of the bill was correct; and that unless some regulations of the kind were adopted, the present militia system would not be worth one farthing.
Mr. Chandler still insisted on the committee's rising. He thought the bill required some amendment in every section. Mr. Stanford was in favor of the bill. He said that the principle contained in it had wrought in Europe the most astonishing revolution in military tactics the world had ever witnessed. He contended that activity and dispatch were as necessary as patriotism to give effect to the operation of an army.
The committee then rose reported progress and obtained leave to sit again. And the house adjourned (three o'clock). [The president yesterday signed the act respecting the MEDITERRANEAN FUND.]
By a gentleman from Annapolis, we are informed that the bill to prevent, during the continuance of the embargo the sale of lands, &c. by execution, became a law on Saturday; having passed both houses of the legislature.

THE SNOW STORM, AN ELEGY. By DR. TROTTER, Physician to the Fleet.
Una requiescent in urna. THE day was so dreary, the wind from the East, The cold it was pinching to man and to beast, And the clouds seem'd to labor with snow, When William had drove all his flock to the farm, To shelter them well, and to keep them from harm, For he saw by the skies it would soon be a storm, And he thought it would bluster and blow. And now, said the shepherd, my stock is all sure, My cows from the fell, and my bleaters secure, Besides it is Saturday night: And if I should loiter, and stay me away, And not see my Mary, ah! what might she say? She might think that her William was going to stray,
She might think it was coldness or spite.
He whistled on Tinker he threw round his plaid, Nor fear'd the dark night while he sought the dear maid, For oft had he tramp'd that way: The Snow how it drifted, and how the wind blew, But what was the storm to a lover so true; Or the depth of the snow, should he meet with but you, Sweet Mary, thy presence was May.
Away as he hied, thought no ill could betide, And his poor faithful dog trudging close by his side, For they had no great distance to roam: Through the waste and the woodland, and turning the stile, Why the whole of the journey is scarcely a mile, Let me see but my Mary, one kiss, and a smile, And then I'll return to my home.
Come Tinker, come near me, for fear you should stray, The snow it grows deeper, more trackless the way, And I wish not to leave you behind; If Tinker should tarry, my Mary would sigh, How she calls you 'dear fellow,' & watches your eye; How she pats on your head when she bids you good bye, Her heart is so tender and kind.
More dark grew the night and more fierce the wind blew, When the church on the hill was first snatch'd from his view. Yet he thought that he heard the church bell; Come Tinker, before me, and find out the way, For Mary will wonder what makes us to stay; And travellers in winter are apt for to stray, Such stories of Pilgrims they tell."
His faithful companion the snow drift among, Bark'd loud as he cheered his lov'd master along, For no moon or star could be seen; Away then they wander'd be numbed and so chill, And no more saw the church on the top of the hill, Or the light that had gleam'd from the house of the mill, And the frost it was knipping and keen.
He dreaded the cliff that hung over the wave, And the half frozen pool oft the wanderers grave, Then breathless and pale with the blast; Thou FATHER ALMIGHTY, thou RULER ON HIGH! Whose storms shake the ocean, the earth and the sky, O protect but my love and contented I die"— Thus he prayed and these words were his last!
To the lone humble cottage where Mary forlorn, On hopes and on fears was alternately borne, Poor Tinker ran swift for relief; He paw'd at the threshold he fawn'd at her foot, Now howling with anguish—now prostrate & mute, 'Twould have melted a satyr to see the dumb brute, But Mary was frantic with grief.
This mantle, his present, shall shroud my cold form, And I'll search for my love in the depth of the storm, Come, Tinker, come shew where he lies: Last night how I dream'd that my William was here, All blithe and so gay, like the spring of the year; Ah me! how his voice seems to thrill in my ear, How I feast on the glance of his eyes!"
She wrapp'd round her mantle, to shroud her cold form, And her soft flowing locks way'd abroad to the storm, Till icicles hung from her hair: That bosom, where William had often reclin'd, Was rudely caress'd by the rough piercing wind, Yet still as it panted, it brought him to mind— For deep was his love printed there.
Three days and three nights the loud tempest did last, Nor shrunk from the weather, or scar'd by the blast. Poor Tinker was faithful to death; He watch'd o'er the spot where the lovers laid, Where William was found in the arms of the maid, On the hand that had fed him he dropp'd his cold head, And gasping resign'd his last breath.
In sorrowful dirge they were borne to their home, And many a villager mourned at their tomb, And wept as they laid it adieu; And you who may read the sad tale I relate, Should you ere love like them may you ne'er meet their fate, But know from their virtues their bliss is complete, And learn from a dog to be true.
The committee for the poor acknowledge the receipt of the following donations: A cord of wood from Mr. Andrew Scholfield. A quantity of baskets from Mr. Laurence Hooff. A cord of wood from C Alexander, esq. Ten Dollars from captain Borrowdale. A quantity of beef shanks from captain Tucker. A quarter of beef from Mr. James Anderson.
