Senate of the United States.
Thursday, February 13.
BRITISH AGGRESSIONS.
Debate on the second resolution reported by a select committee, as given in our last.
(Continued.)
Mr. Worthington. On further consideration of the resolution now before the senate I confess I feel more opposed to it, and do believe, on the whole, it will be best not to pass it in its present form. The resolution must mean something, or it must mean nothing. It must intend to convey to the president, the opinions and advice of this body, or not to convey it. Now, sir, if it is intended to convey to the president the opinions and advice of the senate, which is certainly my understanding of it, I beg gentlemen to reflect a little before they adopt it. The advice of this senate will never be given to the president without the desired effect, and let me add, sir, that from the intimate connection which exists between this and the executive branch of the government, I must believe that the president would not feel himself justified, nor would he be willing to take so much responsibility on himself as entirely to reject it. Sir, I could not justify him if he did. We are equally responsible with him in our executive capacity, and can we for a moment believe that he would act contrary to the decided opinion of the senate, who can at all times control or defeat him by rejecting a treaty made contrary to their advice and opinions? What, sir, is the object of the resolution?
Resolved, That the President of the U. States be requested to demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of our citizens captured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of peace; and upon the indemnification of such American citizens, for their losses and damages sustained by these captures and condemnations; and to enter into such arrangements with the British government, on this and all other differences subsisting between the two nations, (and particularly respecting the impressment of American seamen,) as may be consistent with the honor and interests of the United States, and manifest their earnest desire to obtain for themselves & their citizens by amicable negotiation, that justice to which they are entitled.
We request the President "to demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of their citizens, captured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain prohibited in time of peace; and upon the indemnification of such American citizens, for their losses and damages sustained by these captures & condemnations;" & afterwards "to enter into such arrangements with the British government, on this & all other differences subsisting between the two nations, (& particularly respecting the impressment of American seamen,) as may be consistent with the honor and interests of the United States, and manifest their earnest desire to obtain for themselves and their citizens by amicable negotiation, that justice to which they are entitled."
To my mind, sir, the resolution seems to be at war with itself. It is not, Mr. President, the bold ground taken by the first part of the resolution to which I object. It is not, sir, that I am opposed to demanding or insisting on our rights; but it is because I fear the resolution taken together will embarrass the executive in negotiating a treaty to settle our differences. A gentleman from Maryland has told us, and we know the fact is so, that there are several subjects on which negotiation is necessary. At present we know we have no commercial treaty with G. Britain. If, sir, this subject is intended to be embraced (and so I understand it) by the resolution, and if it is the opinion of the senate it should, let us be more explicit. We have such a treaty with Holland, Spain and France, and I confess I see no good reason why we should not have one with G. Britain if it can be made on terms which will promote the mutual interests of the two nations. Indeed, I cannot imagine how we are to get along without continual jarrings, and probably ultimately war, with all its concomitant evils, unless we know the ground on which we are placed. Whilst I should deplore an event of this kind, yet, if under all the circumstances, the honor and interests of my country made it necessary, I hope I shall be found
among those who would firmly resent the insults and vindicate the injuries of any nation on earth. With so wide a field for negotiation, with so many important objects to accomplish, I submit it to the good sense of the senate, whether it will be proper to tie up the hands of the executive in the manner contemplated by the resolution. If the resolution passes, the President must in every event "demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of our citizens, captured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of peace; and upon the indemnification of such American citizens, for their losses and damages sustained by these captures and condemnations;" This must be made the basis on which all further proceedings are to be founded. I do not wish to be understood as being willing to give up the property which has been unjustly taken from our citizens without an equivalent. An equivalent may be obtained in many ways. If the resolution is adhered to by the executive a restitution of the property must be insisted on. Request the president to demand and insist, and he must take this ground, and this only, if we pass this resolution: Although in my opinion this resolution was not intended to censure the executive, yet it would seem to bear that construction. But on this ground I will not object to it. It is notorious to every gentleman of the senate that the president has been, and is now, prosecuting a negotiation on the subjects which seem to be the particular objects of this resolution, viz. the condemnation of our vessels and the impressment of American seamen. It would therefore seem improper on this ground to pass the resolution in its present form. I know, sir, that what has been so often and so properly repeated is all important on the present subject, that is, that we should be united in what we do. With this view and with the hope that the same committee can offer to the senate a resolution varied in its form from the one before us, and embracing the wishes of at least a great majority, and I hope the whole senate, I move that the resolution be re-committed.
Mr. Adair. Mr. President—the motion before the senate is to recommit the resolution to a special committee. Gentlemen in favor of the resolution as it stands, have called upon us to point out the alterations we wish to make in it as a cause of commitment; I will do so by stating my objections to it in its present shape. The first resolution on the paper which I hold in my hand, and which met with a unanimous vote of the senate two days past, contains a mere declaration of their opinion on an abstract principle; to this resolution I fully and freely assent, although I did not vote for it, being that day unwell and absent. But this second resolution, if it is to have any effect at all, is meant to convey an instruction to the president of the United States. It contains a request to him, not only, that he will endeavor to obtain an adjustment of our differences by treaty, but that prior to this he will "demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of our citizens captured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of peace; and upon the indemnification of such American citizens for their losses and damages sustained by these captures and condemnations;" that he will enter into arrangements, &c. This, Mr. President, is the part of the resolution I object to. It is going too far. It is circumscribing the powers of the President, and tying him down to a particular point. It is making that the sine qua non, the basis on which alone he is to treat; at least it is doing this so far as an opinion of the senate, expressed in this way, can do it. It really looks to me, as if on this particular point of restitution we were afraid to trust our chief magistrate. I presume there is not a member who hears me, who does not fully believe the captures and condemnations alluded to in the resolution were unjust, that they are an infringement of our rights; and that we are entitled to restitution. But let it be remembered that these condemnations are the solemn decisions of a court of very high authority in Great Britain. A court that, it is well known, acts under the councils (if not the controul) of the cabinet; may we not then reasonably suppose that the British government are as fully assured (in their own minds) that these condemnations are just and warranted, under the law of nations, as we are that they are unjust and unwarranted; and that they will be as unwilling to acknowledge in the face of the whole world that they have been wantonly robbing us of our property, as we will be to acknowledge that we have paid so much
without a cause. It has been well observed by an honorable member from Tennessee, that in forming commercial treaties of this kind, there will be various points to consider; and it may not be necessary to contend for strict justice in every punctilio; arrangements or treaties, when there are existing differences to settle, must always be a bargain of compromise and forbearance; in one point we may give a little that we may obtain an equivalent in another. So it may turn out in settling our disputes with Great Britain. Why then are we not satisfied with expressing our opinion on the great principle of right; and leave it altogether with our chief magistrate to enter into and point out the details.
It is asserted by the advocates of the resolution as it now stands, that the part objected to, has been virtually agreed to in the first resolution; and that the latter part of the second resolution so qualifies the first as to prevent it from operating as an instruction to or restriction on the President. To this I answer that the same principle, so far as it relates to the United States, or to the British government, is certainly contained in the first resolution, and therefore unnecessary to be thus expressed in the second; and if it is not intended to operate as an instruction to the president why is it so anxiously retained in the resolution. I can see no reason for this unless it is intended as a declaration of the senate a solemn pledge to be used on some future occasion, by the merchants, whose property has been thus condemned, to shew that we are bound to obtain restitution for them from the British government, or to compensate them ourselves. How far this may be right is not now for me to say. It is a subject not now before the senate, and I think it soon to make the declaration. Nor do I like to see such a measure obtain in our resolutions by stealth as it were; unnoticed because obscured by the brighter blaze of more important objects. In support of the words "demand and insist;" an extract has been read from a letter of the president himself to his minister abroad, in which he uses the same words. But is there no difference between the president's acting officially, giving instructions to his minister where it is necessary and proper he should enter into the details; and our merely expressing an abstract opinion upon a great principle before it officially comes before us. The president in using these words does it with the strictest propriety; and I trust when he instructs a minister agreeably to the request contained in this resolution, that he will make use of language equally strong. He shall meet with my hearty approbation, nor is there any length in my power that I will not cheerfully go to support him. Yet still I am unwilling to tie him down to a particular point, or to express an opinion in detail upon the subject of a treaty, which if made must be finally laid before the senate for their approbation. Let it be remembered that in the first resolution we have solemnly pledged ourselves to a principle of right; we are so far bound as the representatives of the nation to defend this right to our citizens; or to obtain an equivalent. This ought to satisfy all. In this second resolution we request of the President to obtain for us the free exercise of this right by treaty. Let us then confide to him the broad field of negotiation; let us not cramp him. Our rights are secure in the hands of the constituted authorities; should he fail of success, we all know the consequence; the next and last alternative is war; to this we all stand solemnly pledged, and when it comes to this, I trust there will be no difference of opinion. Peace is the first wish of our hearts; it is the soul of our government. But the man who would not prefer war to oppression, to dishonor and infamy is not an American. One word more, Mr. President, and I have done—it has been conceded that a unanimity of sentiment and vote is desirable on this subject. If then gentlemen are in earnest when they say those exceptional words, mean no more than what is contained in the first resolution; and convey no special instruction to the President, can they not change them for others equally strong as to the principle, and that will meet the approbation of all; why not strike them out in lieu of them request the President to enter into arrangements agreeable to or in conformity to the first resolution; some such alteration as this would certainly retain the whole idea avowed by the advocates of the present resolution, and as the special direction and restriction would be left out, it would meet with my concurrence. To obtain some such alteration in words that will be agreeable to all is the object I have in voting for the commitment, and as one day cannot materially affect us, I hope we will be indulged.
The motion to commit the resolution was lost by a small majority. [To be continued.]

BLOODY BATTLE OF THE 2d DEC. Between the French & Allied forces. (Translated for the American.)
Copy of a letter from Marshal Berthier, minister of war and major general of the grand army, to marshal Massena.
PORTOPIE, 12th Frimaire, (3d Dec.) year 14th.
I am impatient, marshal, to send you back your aid de camp to announce to you the brilliant victory which we have just gained over the Russian army. They were drawn out in array before us to the number of 80,000 men, of which 15,000 were Austrians. On the 10th they made a motion in their left wing to attack us, and to surround our right. It was evident they meditated an attack on the 11th. The emperor, as usual with him, prevented this by himself commencing the attack at the break of day. The battle lasted from seven o'clock in the morning to five in the evening. The Russian army was entirely destroyed; 25,000 prisoners taken; 15,000 killed and 120 pieces of cannon taken possession of. The guards of the Russian emperor were attacked by those of the emperor Napoleon: They were entirely discomfited; the colonel and one third of their officers taken, the standard bearer, all their artillery, and in fine the whole body of the guards, as well horse as foot, to the amount of 5000 men, were entirely cut to pieces. Almost all the Russian generals have fallen into our hands. The emperors of Russia and Austria had the greatest difficulty to save themselves across the marshes. A considerable quantity of men, stopped by the marshes and a lake into which they threw themselves, were drowned, experiencing the same fate as the Turks who threw themselves into the sea, at the battle of Aboukir. Our troops are now pursuing the small remains of this army once so arrogant. For further details, your aid de camp will relate to you what he has seen and heard. I have but barely time, marshal, to write to you thus briefly, as you know we have few moments to spare. I have received the letter in which you informed me of your junction with general Marmont.

Extract of a letter from his excellency Monsieur De Beauharnois, Minister, Plenipotentiary of the French Empire, at the Court of Etruria, to M. Verdier General of division, dated Florence, 18th Frimaire, 14th year, At 1 o'clock in the morning.
A letter from the minister of exterior relations, dated Vienna, the 12th Frimaire, informs me, my dear general, of the grand victory gained by our august sovereign on the day of his anniversary: the three emperors being present. The guard of the emperor Napoleon attacked that of the emperor of Russia, took its colonel, one third of the officers, all the artillery, and cut the rest to pieces.
The French troops are now pursuing the remains of the Russian and Austrian army.
The field of battle was at Austerlitz. Napoleon, our august sovereign is everywhere present.
Good bye and love me. Francis de Beauharnois. P. S. The bulletins will arrive by couriers.

In addition to the above, a gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Philadelphia, states, that on the day he left there (Saturday) a vessel arrived from England, which place she left the middle of January. The accounts by her confirmation of the battle of the 2d as above stated, and further, that the Russian army afterwards received sufficient reinforcements to enable them to maintain their position till the

when Bonaparte having received considerable reinforcements, attacked and almost entirely annihilated the Russian army. (Telegraphe.)

Battle off Cape Trafalgar.
The Victory, Lord Nelson's ship, so closely engaged the Redoubtable, that her guns could not run out, but were fired into that ship while her sides were rubbing against the Victory; and the troops on board the Redoubtable fired into the Victory's port holes. The above French ship had four hundred troops on board, and those in tops took aim at the officers on the quarter deck of his lordship's ship, which accounts for so many being killed or wounded. Of the forty marines placed on her poop, only five remained unhurt. Captain Adair, of the marines, was killed while loading a musket, which he had repeatedly fired. He had behaved in the bravest manner. The Three subaltern officers, and the serjeant major also used muskets on that day. Two of the subalterns were wounded. — London Papers.
We are informed, that letters are received in town, mentioning, that an unfortunate occurrence lately took place on board of an American frigate in the Mediterranean. A captain of marines is said to have been run through the body with a sword and killed, by an officer of high rank in the navy, for having remonstrated to his superior on the impropriety of his ordering one of the marines to be flogged. [N. Y. Gaz.]
Without examining the principles which Great Britain contends for, in respect to our intercourse with the colonies of her enemies, and the exportation of colonial
produce; the fact on which those principles are bottomed, are not as she asserts. Great Britain says that we are now engaged in a commerce with her enemies, which was not permitted to us in time of peace — let us examine into this fact. In all the year 1802, and for a part of the year 1803, Great Britain was at peace. Then let us examine the state of our commerce for the first of those years, and the result will prove that the United States must have carried on an extensive trade with the French, Spanish and Dutch colonies.
In the year 1802, the amount of duties and drawbacks on sundry articles of colonial produce, demonstrate the error of the assertion, that we are now contending for a commerce which we did not enjoy in time of peace.
  Amount of duties on coffee in 1802, 1,682,439   —drawback, 1,285,376   —duties on cocoa, 29,429   —drawback, 28,096   —duties on brown sugar, 1,821,117   —drawback, 718,338   —duties on clayed sugars, 196,581   —drawback, 152,026 
The amounts above mentioned are taken from the official document published in our last.
It will be admitted that in the year 1804, that the imports and exports of colonial produce were considerably augmented, but certainly it would be too absurd to say, that an increase of thirty per cent. is to affect the right.
The United States contend that in the time of the peace they held an exclusive colonial trade, with the powers now at war with Great Britain, that the surplus beyond their own consumption was freely exported, and that now because Great Britain is at war with those powers, they will not be deprived of that trade. This is certainly meeting Great Britain upon her own ground. We have always thought, and still think, that upon more deliberate reflection, Great Britain must recede from a position, which is tenable in neither fact nor principle. (Norfolk Ledger.)
From the Washington Federalist.
MR. RIND, FROM the great variety of resolutions which have been proposed to congress, in relation to our disputes with Great Britain, and which lie now for consideration on the clerk's table of the house of representatives, it would seem that our public servants, with all their love for the people, and zeal for the public good, are pretty much at a loss what course to pursue.
The following hints for consideration solicit the public eye through the channel of your paper. STRICT NEUTRALITY AND EQUAL JUSTICE TO ALL NATIONS IS THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES. Whether this, in the modern acceptance of the terms, means an equal submission to degradations and insults from all nations, I do not now enquire. But, whatever it means it must equally apply to all nations. To apply this rule we have only to examine the line of conduct we have pursued with other nations, to ascertain the proper course to be taken with regard to our disputes with Britain.
Take Spain for example. Admitting your statement concerning a closed door appropriation for the purchase of the Floridas to be correct, and I don't find that Sammy Smith has contradicted it. In the first place, Spain committed depredations on our commerce, our minister made a treaty with Spain on that and other subjects, which among other articles, had one something to this purpose. That these spoiltations might be the subject of future discussions. This article was so favorable to the United States, the government ratified it—but Spain refuses a ratification on her part. In addition to the ordinary resident minister at the court of Spain, a minister extraordinary is then sent. Our ministers submit several propositions for an amicable adjustment of difficulties, all of which Spain rejects, and refuses to submit any propositions of her own as a basis of negotiation. Our Ambassadors close their negotiation with their fingers in their mouths. As a next step an appropriation is made of — Millions of Dollars; as a first instalment towards the expence of bribing France to bully Spain into a negotiation for the cession of the Floridas to the United States. Apply this process to our disputes with Britain, & the path is plain. Mr. Munroe is now at London. He can commence a negotiation, and agree to a treaty, in which this, among other things, may be stipulated. That the depredations on our commerce, and impressment of our seamen, may be subjects of future negotiation and discussion. Supposing the U. States should ratify this treaty, and Great Britain should re-
fuse the ratification on her part; we must then send a Plenipotentiary Extraordinary to act in concert with the resident minister. They can make a variety of propositions to the British government, as a basis of settlement; to all of which Britain may refuse to accede, and decline submitting any propositions of her own. Congress can then appropriate — millions of dollars as a first payment towards the expence of obtaining the liberty of the seas, and redeeming our impressed seamen. Before the process proceeds thus far, perhaps Great Britain may be as completely under the power of Bonaparte as Spain is at present. We can then pay the money into French coffers as a reward for her bullying Great Britain into our measures. Should this plan meet the approbation of our Legislators in Congress, it might prevent some very lengthy and very fruitless discussions on the resolutions now before them, and would be assuming an attitude of precisely equal dignity and independence in our transactions with different European nations.

ANECDOLE.
When the Earl of Wharton, who made so eminent a figure in the reign of Queen Anne, was a stripling during the life of his father, who was a most formal Presbyterian, there being an extraordinary entertainment for some young gentry on the anniversary of his hopeful son's birth, he was ordered by the old Lord to lay grace; whereupon turning up his eyes and assuming a pious countenance, he breathed the following strain: "I pray God to shorten the days of Lord Wharton and set his son up in his place; He'll drink and he'll w——, and ten thousand things more, With as good a fanatical race." The pious parent being deaf, and not hearing what the lad said, but perceiving he had finished; very innocently gave his assent to it, by an amen, I pray God. Which to his great surprise made the whole company burst into a laughter.
