DEBATE
On the resolution for requesting the president to cause an enquiry to be made into the conduct of general Wilkinson.
[CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Gardner's Speech concluded.)
It had been said by some that the papers read by the gentleman from Virginia should be sent to the executive; but nothing had been said about the gentleman from Orleans. Mr. G. would ask the gentleman from Tennessee, why would he send these papers to the executive? As what? He should suppose as evidence which the president was to communicate to the board of enquiry which had been instituted. If the gentleman considered it proper that any evidence should be sent, why not send the whole of the evidence which it was in the power of this house to acquire? If they sent any, why not send all? And if they would send all, why not take measures without which they could not procure it? It did strike Mr. G. that the thing admitted of no other course; that if they sent any they should send the whole. He would in this case particularly, if there were the most distant prospect of being able to accomplish the object sought for, place before the president such evidence as could not be resisted.
The gentleman from Tennessee was pleased to remark that the house had no more business with this enquiry than the president of the U. S. had to recommend any act which exclusively pertained to the house of representatives of the U. S. He did not know what he might call the peculiar province of the president; but he knew that it was the peculiar province of the house of representatives to originate impeachments, and yet he had seen in the message from the president to the house an implied recommendation to them on that subject. Mr. G. did not object to this; he thought the different branches of government did well to sustain each other in all events. The president, said he, has given us an evidence that he thinks himself competent to advise us; and I really wish to be equally civil, and return him the compliment; to shew him that we can advise him and give him the means of acting efficiently. It was in this way that the house would effectually perform its duty. He wanted no half measures; they had appropriated money for half fortification this session; he wanted no half way enquiry into the conduct of the commander in chief, for this half way business would not answer.
The power of the house to do this was unquestioned; it had exercised that power in a variety of cases. The only question was, whether this was one of those cases in which the house should exercise that power? Was this the only mode in which they could convict gen. Wilkinson if he was guilty, or satisfy the community of his innocence if he were not guilty? If this were the case, he thought friends and enemies should take this plain course; this was the object and the only object they ought to pursue. Mr. G. was not influenced by any personal dislike to gen. W. for he had no acquaintance with or knowledge of him. Gen. W. had never injured him nor any of his connections or friends, and he felt himself therefore free to decide — but he should ill discharge his duty to his country if on an occasion like the present he did not advocate the most effectual means for an enquiry. He should express on all occasions what was his opinion, and he would say that the present case was a test of the impartiality of the house. If, notwithstanding party attachments, and deference to the executive, the house should exercise that impartiality which should of right attach to them, he should have hopes of the salvation of his country. It was here, within these walls that the fate of the country was to be decided; it was here that corruption was to be arrested & exposed, if not here, he was afraid no where.
He was more desirous of seeing this enquiry take the proper course, from events which had recently taken place, in which this officer had been charged with violating the constitution of the country. The bleeding charter of our rights, and the oppression of our citizens, and long a go called upon the house for interference. If the constitution was for no purpose, were paper works which a military officer could with impunity trample under foot,
it was time the people should know it that they might submit. But when he found in the declaration of independence, that among the causes of our separation from the mother country were these: "He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power—He has given his assent for transporting beyond the seas to be tried for pretended offences" That these among others were assigned as reasons for destroying the political bonds of society, as sufficient reasons for throwing off all allegiance—when he had seen, not a great and powerful government committing these enormities, but a mere military commander committing them with impunity—when the spirit of the nation was so base as not to cry out with unceasing sensibility at these violations of its rights—when he saw this, he was disposed to think that the officer would not be too much injured by an enquiry into this particular charge, which was, to say the least of it, important. On consulting the constitution he found that the people of the U. S. were not sufficiently content with the original articles of the constitution, but other articles had been added, in which it was declared that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law—a right which one would think did not require the sanction of the constitution to secure it. This right which the people had so sedulously guarded as to include it in an additional article, had been violated wantonly and without occasion. He wanted no evidence of this; it had been done at noon day, before the whole American people. He must himself express his astonishment that, after conduct of this sort, the person who had dared to commit these acts had been suffered to exist as a military commander; and he had conceived that he who had suffered him to do these things in a country of civil law, was scarcely less culpable than the offender. He expressed his surprise that at this day it was necessary to institute the enquiry now proposed. When was the cup of guilt to be full? When was the wounded constitution of the country to receive its balm? He would not have it in this case understood that he believed the executive had gone through with the whole business; he believed it would have been content if the effect alone of certain measures had been produced, without the means which were employed.
Would ever a case exist in which a military commander would not render himself independent if he could? Would a case exist in which he could not find a pretence? They had seen the emperor of France go forward step by step, and had he ever been at a loss for plausible pretences? No; nor ever would be. A nation which submitted to the first violation was ruined forever. Let us, said he, once become familiar with the violation of our national honor, and we are familiar with it forever—if we ever suffered the constitution to be invaded more particularly by a military power. Those military gentlemen who acted in their proper sphere, protecting and fighting for their country, should have his zealous support as long as their conduct was proper. He wished they might gather laurels in profusion; he wished they might be well provided for; and at the present crisis he would go so far as to say, that better provision ought to be made for their support than they receive at present; but whenever they went out of the line of their duty, whenever they violated the constitution of the country which it was their duty to defend, they would become the foe of every honest man; he was persuaded that but few of our officers were entitled to this appellation.
Upon the whole he thought that every gentleman on the floor was satisfied that the nation demanded that an effectual enquiry should be instituted, that even they who apologised for the conduct of this officer could not rest satisfied unless an opportunity was given to enquire. As a member of the grand inquest of the nation, he could say that he had seen enough to induce him to enter his vote in favor of the propriety of effectually enquiring. The people were now arrived at that point where they could not turn to the right or the left. If an enquiry were had, the commander in chief of the army of the U. States on one hand might have the confidence of the people; or, on the other, the army would be governed by a man of more fidelity and integrity.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In pursuance of their resolutions of the 13th
To the House of Representatives of the U. States,
Some days previous to your resolutions of the 13th inst. an court of enquiry had been instituted, at the request of gen. Wilkinson charged to make the enquiry into his conduct which the first resolution desires, and had commenced their proceedings. To the judge advocate of that court the papers and information on that subject transmitted to me by the house of representatives, have been delivered to be used according to the rules and powers of that court.
The request of a communication of any information which may have been received, at any time since the establishment of the present government, touching combinations with foreign agents for dismembering the union, or the corrupt receipt of money by any officer of the United States, from the agents of foreign governments can be complied with but in a partial degree.
It is well understood that in the first or second year of the presidency of general Washington, information was given to him relating to certain combinations with the agents of a foreign government for the dismemberment of the union; which combinations had taken place before the establishment of the present federal government. This information, however, is believed never to have been deposited in any public office, or left in that of the president's secretary; these having been duly examined but to have been considered as personally confidential, and therefore retained among his private papers. A communication from the gov. of Virginia to president Washington, is found in the office of the president's secretary, which although not strictly within the terms of the request of the house of representatives, is communicated, inasmuch as it may throw some light on the subjects of the correspondence of that time, between certain foreign agents and citizens of the U. S.
In the first or second year of the administration of President Adams, Andrew Ellicott then employed in designating, in conjunction with the Spanish authorities, the boundaries between the territories of the United States and Spain, under the treaty with that nation, communicated to the executive of the U. S. papers and information respecting the subjects of the present enquiry, which were deposited in the office of state. Copies of these are now transmitted to the house of representatives, except of a single letter and a reference from the said Andrew Ellicott, which being expressly desired to be kept secret is therefore not communicated; but its contents can be obtained from himself in a more legal form; and directions have been given to summon him as a witness before the court of enquiry.
A paper on the commerce of Louisiana, bearing date the 18th of April one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, is found in the office of state, supposed to have been communicated by Mr. Daniel Clarke of N. Orleans then a subject of Spain and now of the house of representatives of the U. S. stating certain commercial transactions of gen Wilkinson in New Orleans, an extract from this is now communicated, because it contains facts which may have some bearing on the question relating to him.
The destruction of the war office by fire in the close of one thousand eight hundred involved all information it contained at that date.
The papers already described, therefore, constitute the whole of the information on these subjects, deposited in the public offices, during the preceding administrations, as far as has yet been found; but it cannot be affirmed that there may be no other, because the papers of the offices being filed, for the most part, alphabetical, unless aided by the suggestion of any particular name which may have such information, nothing short of a careful examination of the papers in the offices generally could authorize such an affirmation.
About a twelvemonth after I came to the administration of the government, Mr. Clark gave some verbal information to myself, as well as to the secretary of state, relating to the same combinations for the dismemberment of the union. He was listened to freely; and he then delivered the letter of governor Gayoso addressed to himself, of which a copy is now communicated. After his return to New Orleans he forwarded to the secretary of state o-
ther papers, with a request that after perusal they should be burnt. This however was not done; and he was so informed by the secretary of state, and that they would be held subject to his orders. These papers have not yet been found in the office. A letter therefore has been addressed to the former chief clerk, who may perhaps give information respecting them. As far as our memories enable us to say, they related only to the combinations before spoken of, and not at all to the corrupt receipt of money by any officer of the U. S. consequently they respected what was considered a dead matter, known in the public administrations, and offering nothing new to call for investigations, which those nearest the dates of the transactions had not thought proper to institute.
In the course of the communications made to me on the subject of the conspiracy of Aaron Burr, I sometimes received letters, some of them anonymous, some under names true or false, expressing suspicions and insinuations against general Wilkinson. But one only of them, and that anonymous, specified any particular fact, and that fact was one of those which had been already communicated to a former administration.
No other information within the purview of the request of the house, is known to have been received, by any department of the government, from the establishment of the present federal government. That which has been recently communicated to the house of representatives, and by them to me, is the first direct testimony ever made known to me, charging general Wilkinson with a corrupt receipt of money, and the house of representatives may be assured that the duties which this information devolves on me shall be exercised with vigorous impartiality. Should any want of power in the court to compel the rendering of testimony obstruct that full and impartial enquiry which alone can establish guilt or innocence, and satisfy justice, the legislative authority only will be competent to the remedy.

War Department, Jan. 2, 1808.
In compliance with a request from brigadier general James Wilkinson, the president of the U. S. has directed a court of enquiry to be instituted, for the purpose of hearing such testimony as may be produced, in relation to the said general James Wilkinson's having been, or now being a pensioner to the Spanish government, while holding a commission under the government of the U. S.
Colonel Henry Burbeck, as president, Colonel Thomas Cushing, and
Lieutenant colonel Jonathan Williams,
As members, are hereby directed to meet at the city of Washington, on Monday the 11th day of the present month of January, as a court of enquiry for the purpose above stated; and, after a full investigation of such evidence and circumstances as may come to their knowledge, the court will report to this department a correct statement of its proceedings, together with its opinion on the amount of testimony exhibited.
Walter Jones, esq. district attorney for the district of Columbia, will be requested to act as judge advocate, or recorder to the court.

SIR,

SIR,
General Wilkinson having represented to me, that you had it in contemplation to settle in this province, and that your example would have considerable influence on

many good families of your country, I think it my duty, in order to forward the intentions of my royal master, to inform you that I shall receive you and your followers with great pleasure, and that you have liberty to settle in any part of Louisiana, or any where on the east side of the Mississippi below the Yazoo river. In order to populate the province, his majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize me to grant to the emigrants, free of all expense, tracts from 240 to 800 acres, in proportion to their property, and in particular cases of men of influence, who may have 3,000 acres. To all persons who actually become settlers, liberty is granted to bring down their property to produce of your country, duty free; but the king does not agree to take your tobacco, and of consequence you must depend upon the common market of this city, as the province makes more than the quantity that the king allows me to take. I mention this particularly to prevent disappointment. You will be exempt from taxation, and will be allowed the private exercise of your religion, without molestation from any person whatever, and will enjoy all the rights, privileges and immunities of his majesty's other subjects.
In order to cultivate an amicable connection with the settlers of the Ohio, his majesty has been graciously pleased at the same time, to give liberty to the inhabitants of that country to bring down their produce to this city for sale, subject to a duty of 15 per cent. on the value here; but to prevent imposition, and to distinguish between the real seller and the trader, the former on entering their produce at the custom house will be obliged to subscribe to the conditions mentioned in the proclamation, of which general Wilkinson carries a copy for your information. Though unknown to you, general Wilkinson has taught me to respect your character. It is therefore I subscribe myself with great esteem,
Sir your most obedient And humble servant, ESTEVAN RIRO. To Benjamin Sebastian Esq. Kentucky. A copy. Attest, SAM. COLEMAN, A. C. C. A true copy. Attest, J. A. COLES, Secretary of the President of the U. S. [To be continued]

COMMUNICATION.
YESTERDAY evening, as I returned from church, there was about a dozen of youngsters, nearly men grown, on the foot-way, by the post-office, in high glee. They had sticks, or rather cudgels, which they waved about as if they had been fencing—some were in close grip and appeared to be wrestling. It was with difficulty and not altogether without danger that those of the congregation who took that way from church, got past them, as those gladiators did not interrupt their pastime. A little further up the street and near the bank of Potomac, was another cavalcade of small boys, perhaps 15 or 20, engaged in a very riotous kind of sport, and who formed such a phalanx that it was with difficulty they could be passed. These things certainly are not as they should be. If, however, such practices were rare, or if this was a solitary case of the kind in our town, I should, for the credit of the place, have chosen rather to conceal than to publish it. But it must, I think, have been noticed by every one passing through our streets on Sabbath days that there is a degree of rudeness and disorder practised, by boys especially, which is a disgrace to a people calling themselves Christians.
There is perhaps no device which the Devil himself could invent better calculated to blot out and banish religion from the earth than the profanation of the sabbath day. History and observation confirms the remark. A large proportion of those who have been executed for capital crimes in all countries where the Christian religion prevails, have declared, (if they made any confession at all) that abuse of the sabbath was the first step to a total abandonment of character. It is true God can use whatever means he thinks proper, or can work without means; but I think it may be fairly questioned whether, as things are constituted, christianity could exist without this institution. We talk much about fighting the British, but we do not seem to be aware that there is a worse intestine foe to combat—I mean Sin. I am no Methodist, nor am I a sick brained Fanatic, but I do believe that it is this traitor in our own bosoms which creates and brings external enemies upon us.
If parents and masters will not restrain those under their care, but will permit them to riot at pleasure and turn our streets on Sabbath days into so many Billingsgate, it is to be hoped the civil authority will interpose and vigilantly endeavor to reform the abuses of which I am now speaking. Will not the police of our town exert itself to remedy this evil, an evil which has become rampant, and which calls loudly for redress? I hope and trust they will.

For so extensive and sweeping are many of their provisions, that it is almost impossible to perceive what commercial ruin might not have ensued from their enforcement but for this measure. It is evident from their general tenor, that Britain has assumed the complete empire of the ocean, and that in so doing, she considers herself at perfect liberty to treat with the utmost eang froid the principles which she has heretofore prescribed to herself, those deemed sacred by the whole commercial world, and the stipulations of existing treaties between powers at amity with each other. Under these circumstances a provident government could not have done less than restrain the rash or dishonest spirit of enterprize whose indulgence hazarded the essential interests of the nation. To have omitted the discharge of so sacred a duty would have justly merited that reprobation, which would most assuredly have been bestowed by those who have been most clamorous against the policy of the measure.
Among the provisions, whose injurious effects might have been the most severely felt by this country, are—the complete and unqualified forfeiture of every ship and cargo which shall carry a certificate of origin—the limitation of our importations from the colonies of powers hostile to Britain to the quantity consumed by ourselves—and the imposition of duties, such as Britain pleases to prescribe, on all such goods imported into her territory and exported to a nation at war with her.
By the first provision, we believe, every species of trade, now authorised by France and her allies to their countries, is prohibited, not under any common penalty, but by the entire confiscation of vessel and cargo.
By the second a rule is applied, not only unjust in itself, but unsusceptible of any other measure of application than shall be applied by the cupidity of the free booter, and the tyranny of power that considers itself irresponsible to any motives other than those which are dictated by its own temporary interests.
And, by the third, the trade of the whole world is made tributary to the injustice and cupidity of Britain.
Such are the very cursory reflections which arise from a single perusal of these celebrated orders. We can consider them in no other light than that of an enforcement of the same principles of absolute power, with the recent proclamation relative to seamen. However general they may all nominally be in their application, they are principally, if not exclusively intended for us. They are, we fear, the pillars on which the pending negotiations are to rest. And they must either be intended to shut the door upon all commercial amity between the two nations; or to be used as so many make-weights in the adjustment of our differences. If dictated by the latter motive, they are predicated on the hope, if not the belief, that the terrors they hold forth will induce us to crouch to terms at which we should otherwise revolt.
If either of these be their object, the embargo is the correct and commanding measure by which they will be best met. It will, on the first supposition, save our commercial capital from destruction; and on the latter supposition; it will enable our executive to treat with becoming disregard this signal display of power, by permitting British valor and cupidity to parade the ocean, and there enjoy the proud triumph of fighting wind mills or waging war with the elements. Secure in ourselves we may laugh this proud spirit to scorn; and may, undismayed, tell the mistress of the ocean, while you persist in robbing us we will stay at home. Treat us justly, and we will
supply you with that, without which your colonies will become the seats of rebellion and your manufactures be ruined. Condue to exercise a lawless system of injustice, but beware of the consequences! An invading foe may think that the propitious moment for aiming a death blow at your existence, when the arm of brother shall be raised against brother, and when despair shall have left in the breasts of your subjects no hope so animating as that of a complete change of their condition.

At the court at the queen's palace, the 11th November, 1807.
PRESENT, The king's most excellent majesty in council.
WHEREAS, the sale of ships by a belligerent to a neutral, is considered by France to be illegal; and,
Whereas, a great part of the shipping of France and her allies, has been protected from capture during the present hostilities, by transfers or pretended transfers by neutrals; and,
Whereas, it is fully justifiable to adopt the same rule in this respect towards the enemy, which is applied by the enemy to this country.
His majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, that in future, the sale to a neutral of any vessel, belonging to his majesty's enemy's, shall not be deemed to be legal, nor in any manner to transfer the property, nor to alter the character of such vessel; and all vessels now belonging, or which shall hereafter belong to any enemy of his majesty, notwithstanding any sale or pretended sale to a neutral, after a reasonable time shall have elapsed, on receiving information of this, his majesty's order, at the place where such sale or pretended sale was effected, shall be captured and brought in, and shall be admitted as lawful prize to the captors.
And the right honorable the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, his majesty's principal secretaries of state, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, and the judges of the high court of admiralty and courts of vice admiralty, are to take the necessary measures herein, as to them shall respectively appertain. W. FAWKENER.
City of Washington, Saturday, January 23d 1808.
In pursuance of notice given to the republican representatives of each house of congress the number of eighty nine members convened in the senate chamber at the Capitol: and at half past 6 o'clock P. M. Stephen R. Bradley was appointed president and Richard M. Johnson secretary.
The meeting proceeded to recommend persons to the citizens of the U. S. to fill the offices of President and Vice President of the U. S. The ballot being taken first upon a recommendation to the office of PRESIDENT—John Milledge and Joseph B. Varnum being appointed tellers—the votes were as follows
Table with 2 columns: Candidate, Votes. James Madison (83), George Clinton (3), James Munroe (3).
The ballot being taken then upon the recommendation for VICE PRESIDENT the votes were as follows
Table with 2 columns: Candidate, Votes. George Clinton (79), John Langdon (5), Henry Dearborne (3), John Q. Adams (1).
Upon motion of Wilson C. Nicholas, a committee of correspondence and arrangement was appointed, in case of the death or resignation of the persons recommended, to consist of the following persons, viz. Mr. Milledge of Georgia, Mr. Taylor of S. Carolina, Mr. Franklin of N. Carolina, Mr. Giles of Virginia, Mr. John Montgomery of Maryland, Mr. Smilie of Pennsylvania, Mr. Kitchell of New Jersey, Mr. Kirkpatrick of New York, Mr. Howland of Rhode Island, Mr. Varnum of Massachusetts, Mr. Parker of N. Hampshire, Mr. Bradley of Vermont, Mr. Tiffin of Ohio, Mr. Pope of Kentucky, Mr. Anderson of Tennessee.
Upon motion of Mr. Giles the following resolution was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, As the sense of this meeting that James Madison of the state of Virginia, be recommended to the people of the U. S. as a proper person to fill the office of President of the U. S. for four years from the 4th of March 1809; and that George Clinton the present Vice President of the state of New York, be recommended as a proper person to fill the office of Vice President for the same term—That in making the foregoing recommendation, the members of this meeting have acted only in their individual character as citizens that they have been induced to adopt this measure from the necessity of the case; from a deep conviction of the importance of union to the Republicans throughout all parts of the U. S. in the present crisis of both our external and internal affairs; and as being the most practicable mode of consulting and respecting the interests and wishes of all, upon a subject, so truly interesting to the whole people of the U. States.
Upon motion of Mr. Montgomery, the following letter was received and read: Being too unwell to attend the republican convention this evening, agreeably to notice, I
hereby constitute my friend Mr. John Montgomery, my proxy, to vote for me in favor of James Madison as President, and George Clinton as Vice President of the U. S. Given under my hand and seal this 23d of January, 1808.
*LEMUEL SAWYER. And then the meeting adjourned. STEPHEN R. BRADLEY, President. RICHARD M. JOHNSON, Secretary. *Mr. Sawyer's Proxy, was not received.
CURE FOR THE STONE.
A gentleman, who had very long labored under this disagreeable disease without receiving any benefit from medical aid, was in possession of a negro slave, who often offered to cure him; but whose offers were refused as chimerical. At length, finding he should die if help could not be obtained, he offered the negro his freedom on condition he would cure him, and divulge the recipe. The cure was soon effected, and the negro gave his recipe, viz. The expressed juice (or strong decoction) of Dry Horse Mint, and of Red Onions, one gill of each to be taken every morning and every evening till the complaint be removed.
