Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Feb. 5.
The unfinished business of yesterday was called up; the resolutions for building gun boats, for fortifications, &c. The motion made yesterday to add "and other armed vessels," was lost, 54 to 51.
The resolution for appropriating 250,000 dollars for gun boats being under consideration,
Mr. Mumford. I hope the house will strike out this resolution, for the purpose of appropriating that sum to durable fortifications. We have as many gun boats now as are necessary. At the northward these boats are useless; in the deep waters there, in a gale of wind, they would not hold to their moorings. Let it not be supposed that this is an electioneering trick of the people of New York; all parties are equally and sincerely concerned.
Mr. Smilie would take a part of the 250,000 dollars only for gun boats. He was willing to appropriate 100,000 exclusively to the port of New York.
Mr. Cooke. The sum of 250,000 dollars is greater than necessary, even if, after experiment, they should be found useful. Let us appropriate something that will be fitting for the security of New York, the London of America.
For agreeing with the committee of the whole in appropriating 250,000 dollars for gun boats, there rose but four members.
And, for appropriating dollars to enable the president to equip and man the navy, if he should think it necessary, 54.
150,000 dollars were proposed for gun boats.
Mr. Randolph said if a million or a million and a half were necessary for gun boats, and they would be a defence, he would vote for them. It was a matter of experiment. He much doubted whether they would be found good for any thing. When this house, with its usual economy, examine a dollar on one side and the other, before they part with it for increasing the army, it is strange they should throw away money by hundreds for gun boats. Till convinced of their utility, I wish not another built. He hoped the sum of 150,000 dollars for fortifications, and one hundred and fifty thousand for gun boats! Strange disagreement!
Mr. Randolph wished to know what number of men was necessary to man these boats. He feared the money would be lost and the boats rot.
Mr. Masters moved for three thousand dollars.
Mr. Smilie. The president and the secretary of the navy both recommend the building of these boats. I am not a judge, but they I presume are; I therefore shall vote for 150,000 dollars at least, being half that the secretary thinks necessary.
Mr. Elmer. I know not for what purpose these boats can be wanted. I believe they may be useful in some cases in some places; but we have already enough to be used where they can be used. Let us not throw away money on experiments. You will not man and put in service the public armed vessels; why then build these boats unless you intend to man them?
Mr. Holland. If we should find gun boats useful, and there should be a necessity for them, they can be built in a very short time; 1000 of them in three months. Why vote for them till we are certain of wanting them?
Mr. Gregg. I am, and the house appears to be, acting in the dark, both with regard to gun boats, and the fortification of New York. We don't know the use of gun boats, nor where they can be used. We don't know the expense of a complete fortification at New York. We ought to make application to the secretary of the navy for information concerning gun boats; and to the secretary at war for information of the expense of a fortification at New York, manning it, &c.
Mr. Fisk. Experiments have proved the utility of gun boats. They were used to the greatest advantage in our war with Tripoli; they may rot, so will frigates. Thirty gun boats don't cost more than a single ship, and they will yield as much protection as three frigates. They can be readily manned; about 27 men are necessary to man one of them. Eighteen gun boats can be maintained for less than one frigate. I hope the motion for 150,000 dollars will prevail.
Mr. Early moved the postponement of this resolution till next Monday week. He wished further information before he voted for the further pursuit of this system.
We have now about seventy of them; and I wish information of what they are capable of doing, or are likely to do. You have this morning voted not to equip and man your boats, why then build more. What, are we to refuse men to take care of those built, and yet build more? Where is the use or the necessity of this expenditure? Whatever alarms may affect some gentlemen, I see no cause for expecting a war; never did I see less. However, it is certain we want further information on this subject.
For postponing the gun boat resolution 49
Against it 53
Mr. G. W. Campbell. I am not much acquainted with this subject, but from the recommendation which we have from the best sources, that these boats are the most sure mode of defence, I think we ought to vote for them. Why did we build any, but because their building was recommended by proper authority. If gentlemen have built because the proper department thought them necessary, why refuse to continue building on the same recommendation and authority? Will gentlemen give us reasons why they cannot be, or are not useful? They are recommended by the proper responsible authority. The building of gun boats is intended to supply the deficiency of fortifications; and answer the same purpose as fortifications where fortifications cannot be erected. We need not man the boats till occasion requires, the same as with fortifications. The sum of 250,000 dollars was readily voted in the committee of the whole, and now gentlemen doubt the utility of any gun boats, though they then so readily voted for them.
Mr. Elliot spoke against gun boats as a useful project.
Mr. Alston spoke in favor of gun boats as the cheapest and safest system of the defence of our ports and harbors.
Mr. Smilie. Every man in the house professes himself in a great measure ignorant of the subject; why not then pay proper respect to the recommendation of those whose duty it is to understand it. I have been informed that most of our naval officers consider these boats as most useful.
Mr. Early moved the postponement of the resolution till this day week.
Mr. Lloyd. Wence is more information
The president has directed the secretary of the navy to inform the select committee that the building of sixty gun boats more would be proper. You can get no further information, if you apply to the president or secretary of the navy. It is agreed that these boats are useful only in calm water. Some gentlemen suppose they would be useful to assist fortifications, but you have not erected fortifications; several years have elapsed since your gun boats were built and what have they done?
Mr. Early. If we get no further information on the subject, I for one will vote against the appropriation of a cent for gun boats.
Mr. Mumford. The gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Alston, wishes to know what better defence can be obtained than gun boats. Mr. Mumford here recommended a particular kind of durable batteries.
Mr. Elmer speaking of New York said it might be defended by stopping the channel. He had some experience on the subject of gondolas and galleys which were much like gun boats and was convinced of their utility at times, but he did not see the propriety of building more gun boats now.
Mr. Chandler. Since the gentleman from New York, Mr. Mumford, has proposed a new system of defence, I am in favor of postponement, that we may become acquainted with his system and compare it with that adopted or pursued by the secretary at war.
Mr. Talmadge. We have thirteen gun boats in order, and sixty six preparing; how does it appear that sixty more are wanted? Rather man those you have: What naval officer of eminence ever recommended gun boats as a system of national defence? They may be useful in some places, but comparatively on few occasions. It appears to me astonishing that while our public ships are to rot, are not manned for our defence, or any other purpose, you are calling for more gun boats as a substitute for fortifications and for a navy.
Mr. Fisk. I am in favor of gun boats, because it is not required to man them till exigencies require. As the safest & cheapest mode of defence I am in favor of
gun boats, I esteem them in preference to frigates, because they cannot go abroad - they must be kept at home to aid the batteries. Fortifications will not prevent the impressing of our seamen, or the pillaging of our property.
Mr. Dwight. If we are to adopt the plan of the gentleman from Vermont, and arm these boats with militia, farmers with their spades and pitchforks, it will be a safe mode and cheap - safe, for you may depend on it there will be no blood shed, and cheap, for they will charge nothing for doing nothing. Or if we adopt the mode of the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Elmer and block up the channel with boats which can be done if we can make them breed as fast as the gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Alston, supposes, two or three thousand in two or three months, let us adopt either mode, or reject both I can see no need of postponing.
For postponing 49
Against it 55
Mr. Eppes moved to postpone till Monday next.
Mr. Smilie. There are three parties here. - Those in favor of a fleet dislike gun boats. - Those in favor of fortifications dislike gun boats. Those in favor of gun boats dislike fortifications or a fleet. Among so many different opinions, we shall I fear do nothing. For my part I wish no fleet. If the country cannot be defended without a fleet, it shall never have my vote for a cent to defend it.
Mr. Cortland made various remarks on the situation of the port of New York - He should not object to a few gun boats; they might perhaps be hereafter useful, though he doubted. Some gentlemen will not vote for other defence than gun boats, unless we vote for gun boats. I shall not object to vote for what is useful, if I cannot obtain what is useful without so voting.
Mr. Cooke. Gentlemen living at a distance from the maritime parts of the union will neither give us stone, lime, nor large timber. To all our prayers the answer is gun boats. We ask for a fish and they give us a serpent.
Mr. Mumford. I am astonished at the declaration of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Can he be serious when he says he would not defend the country, if it cannot be defended but by a navy?
Mr. Varnum went into an examination of the expediency of fortifications.
He spoke of the great utility of fortifications during our revolutionary war, and the propriety of erecting and enlarging them. The port of New York though it cannot be completely defended, may be much secured. We must not think of abandoning our shores to an enemy; they must be met at the water's edge, and the ground yielded, if at all, by slow inches.
Mr. V. was no great believer in the utility of gun boats, yet he thought they might be of service in many places, they might be useful very much so at N. York. (He here explained how.) He considered the gun boats as the best mode of defence for that harbor, aided by batteries.
He believed with the gentleman from N. Jersey, that in an extreme case the channel might be filled, & the passage be thro' Hell gate, but he hoped no such case would ever occur. On the whole, though the system was never a favorite one, he was willing to build more boats.
Mr. Smilie. If the gentleman supposed I would abandon the citizens of New York he misunderstood me. I said that I never would defend the country by a navy; that is, I would not defend our trade by a fleet. There is no nation, unless perhaps Britain is one, whose trade will bear the expense of a fleet. We can never maintain a navy to cope with the naval powers of Europe. I never wish to have fleets and armies here. They are the Janissaries of England as much as the Janissaries are in Turkey. So would it be here had we such.
Mr. Mumford said a fleet is not wished, but something competent to a defence of our shores, at least in part.
For postponing 69
Carried.
Mr. Early offered a resolution calling on the president for information as to the efficacy of gun boats in the protection of ports and harbors; and a list of the ports and harbors which he may think can be defended, or partially so, by such boats; and how many may be wanted at each, &c.
Mr. Mumford moved to insert "and block ships," after gun boats.
Mr. Early wished gentlemen would move their resolutions distinctly, and not embarrass others.
Mr. Mumford withdrew his motion. The resolution was agreed to.
The first resolution, appropriating 20 thousand dollars for fortifications, was referred to a select committee to bring in a bill.
FRIDAY, February 6.
The following message was received from the president of the U. S. To the Senate and house of representatives of the U. S.
The government of France having examined into the claim of Mr. de Beau-marçais, against the U. S. and considering it as just and legal, has instructed its minister here to make representations on the subject to the government of the U. S. I now lay his memoir thereon before the legislature, the only authority competent to a final decision on the same.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Mr. Ely disliked the tone and terms of the application. He hoped it would lie on the table, and after being printed, the house might dispose of it as they pleased. He thought it couched in indecorous and authoritative terms.
Mr. Gregg considered it as an answer of the French government to the statement of the secretary of state, and moved that it be referred to the committee of claims. Carried.
A message was likewise received from the president, transmitting a copy of the laws of Louisiana, which were referred to a select committee.
The bill extending the time for taking the oath and giving bonds in cases of drawback was taken up in the house, and debated till about two o'clock, when Mr. Reas, to whom the proceedings of the house were a perfect secret, the windows and doors being closed against him, indignant at being denied the privileges of the sovereign people, determined no longer to require insufficient and partial information of the proceedings of the first legislative body on the globe, through the whispers of cracks, cranies and broken pains of glass, determined at once to have a full view of the subjects and to be heard himself in propria persona on the floor of that house. To accomplish this purpose, he broke down several panes of glass, threw down a large opposing window shutter, entered the hall and scattered in every direction the invaluable manuscripts and other papers of the members. Mr. D. R. Williams was speaking, but his voice, loud as it usually is, was but a whisper compared with that of the bold northern invader. An adjournment was called for, and the house, as often before, adjourned with decision, without coming to any decision.
Saturday, Feb. 7.
Mr. Latimore offered the following resolution, which was agreed to.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of establishing and maintaining an institution at Natchez, for the relief of sick and disabled seamen, out of such funds as may be constituted by a tax upon persons employed in the navigation of the Mississippi, and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Thomas, from the committee to whom was referred the resolution agreed to by the house on the subject of fortifications, presented a bill for fortifying the ports and harbors of the U. S. which was referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
Mr. Lyon offered the following resolution, which was agreed to:
Resolved, That the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire into the expediency of retaining a greater proportion of the duties on articles, the growth or manufacture of foreign countries, which may be re-exported.
Mr. Broom offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is expedient to make further provision by law for securing the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus to persons in custody, under or by color of the authority of the U. S. which was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Varnum offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is inexpedient, in addition to the sums otherwise appropriated to fortify the ports and harbors of the U. S. to appropriate a sum not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars to enable the president of the U. S. to cause the port and harbor of New York to be better fortified and defended.
After a short debate this resolution was ordered to lie on the table.
The speaker laid before the house a letter from the governor and judges of the

Michigan territory, representing that in obedience to an act of congress they have laid out a town, a plan of which they submit, and that they have made progress in the adjustment of the titles to lands, and the distribution of the donations contemplated by the said act.
A bill was received from the senate entitled an act confirming claims to land in the district of Vincennes, which was referred to the committee on public lands.
A bill was likewise received from the senate, entitled an act to reduce the expenses attending the administration of justice in the district of Columbia, which was referred to a committee of the whole on Tuesday.
The amendments proposed by the senate to the bill for the relief of William Hearn, were agreed to.
The house resumed the consideration of the bill authorizing the issuing debentures in certain cases.
Mr. D. R. Williams moved to recommit the bill. This motion, after debate, was lost.
The question was then put on engrossing the bill for a third reading, and the yeas and nays, after debate, taken which were Yeas 53—Nays 52. The Speaker declaring himself in the negative, the question and the bill were lost.
SENATE UNITED STATES.
Thursday, Feb. 5.
A debate of considerable interest occurred on the following resolution:
Resolved, That _____ acres of land be granted to the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company, upon their giving bond, conditioned to transfer to the United States, a number of the shares of the capital stock of said company, at the rate of two hundred dollars a share, equal to the proceeds of the sales of the land granted to them; and conditioned to sell the said land within _____ years, and to furnish to the secretary of the treasury a true account of the sales.
Messrs. Bayard and Pickering supported the resolution; Mr. Adams opposed it; and Messrs. Giles and Baldwin suggested doubts respecting it.
When the question was taken, and the resolution agreed to—Ayes 20—Nays 6.

NORFOLK, February 4.
Yesterday morning the British ships of war Bellona and Triumph, with the other British ships in Hampton Roads, got under weigh and proceeded to sea with great appearance of haste. The cause of this sudden movement, was occasioned by the arrival of a pilot-boat, from on board which information was obtained, that on Saturday morning last a pilot was put on board a French eighty gun ship in ten fathoms water. It is said that the commander of the French ship asked the pilots, "if they had seen any thing of the fleet." This we imagine was only a finesse to give an idea of a superior force. The ship is supposed to be the Foudroyant, from Havanna. We had no further intelligence respecting this affair when our paper went to press.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11.
From Washington, Feb. 10.
A message from the president. The message contained extracts from a letter written by Cowles Mead, acting governor of the Mississippi territory, to the secretary of war. Mr. Mead says that Mr. Burr was at the mouth of Bayou Pierre, about 45 miles above Natchez, descending the river! That he had received a letter from him, containing assurances that his object was nothing injurious to the integrity of the union, nor did he purpose to violate the Spanish territory. His letter also contained hints of the impropriety of resisting him, and the danger of a civil war. Mr. Mead mentions that, the day before receiving this letter, he had issued orders for Burr's arrest, and expected in a few days to have "this troublesome man" in possession.
Though we should much rather hear the intelligence of the Russians beating the French confirmed by a London Gazette, than receive it from vague West India reports, we do not by any means resign the hope that that which has come from Trinidad may be true. Ample time has elapsed between the latest account of the successes of Bonaparte and the date of the intelligence from Trinidad, for the latter to be founded in fact. There is a prosperous wickedness something which subdues the minds of the object and vulgar into awe, and forbids them to believe it receivable. We own that following Bonaparte through his whole career, we can see that it is to numbers and the perversity of fortune he owes his unparalleled conquests. The dread inspired by one victory goes a great way in gaining him another, and thus his conquests increase his power to conquer in an incalculable ratio. But there are nations on whom the dazzling of his name has no effect. Witness the British in Calabria: As for the Russians, they have neither fear nor feeling. If moderately well commanded they are terrible in war. Frederick the Great after a long and tough trial with them, made use of this remarkable expression; "I can kill these fellows but I cannot conquer them." Should Austria join and the archduke Charles have the command of one army of them any way approaching to the French in number, he will certainly give a good account of them. Let it be recollected that the battles with Prussia cost the French an immense number of men, besides which the conquered places were to be garrisoned, and this must have diminished his army.
We will not say that in this speculation our hopes may be only the handmaids of our wishes. To the last we will not despair; we will not yet give up the hope that the destruction and subjugation of ALL Europe may be prevented. It should be observed that the present from Trinidad tallies with the reports in England from Sweden.
[People's Friend]
FROM THE ATLANTIC WORLD.
COLONEL BURR.
By a gentleman who passed thro' this place a few days ago, and upon whose authority we can rely, we were informed that the evening before his departure from Pittsburgh, he read a letter from a Dr. M'Gruder, dated at col. Burr's encampment near the mouth of Cumberland, the 2d of January. The doctor stated "that their party was five hundred strong; that they were all in fine spirits; that col. Burr had just explained the purpose of his expedition, with which they appeared highly satisfied; that a promise of secrecy had been imposed upon them; but that he could assure his friend so far from the intentions of col. Burr being inimical to the U. S. that his project, if accomplished, would not only be beneficial to the union, but to all concerned."
Since the above intelligence, we have been also favored with an account of the nature of the expedition which col. Burr is said to have explained to some of his party. It perhaps may be thought improper that we should give it to the public; as its publicity may render the plan abortive, and highly advantageous to this country. The state of the public mind, however, is at present so exasperated against Burr, that we deem it proper, let the consequences be what they may, to reveal it. Col. Burr is said to be employed by the
court of Spain, to remove the whole of the Spanish treasury at Vera Cruz in Mexico, which is estimated at one hundred and fifty million of dollars, to the U. S. there to be kept at the disposal of his Catholic majesty, until Europe be restored to its original state of tranquility.
Since writing the article in the first page headed colonel Burr, we have been informed on good authority, that the marquis Yrujo, has made a communication to a public officer of the American government, to the same purpose; that he and col. Burr planned the scheme about two years ago; and that it was afterwards approved of by the court of Madrid. It is also stated, that Mr. Merry was informed of it by colonel Burr; and that he should have given his assurances, that none of the British cruisers would molest the expedition, but on the contrary afford their assistance to the armament.
In the event of the expedition succeeding, it is supposed an immediate coalition will be formed between Great Britain and Spain, against the emperor Napoleon. — What the consequences may be of such an immense treasure being deposited in the U. S. we shall not attempt to speculate; but we think the effects produced, will not be of the highest nature.
