CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 12.
Two additional members appeared.
Mr. Clapton presented the petition of William Fontaine, praying to be allowed the value of a horse taken from him by the Indians in 1790. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Holmes from the committee of claims, made a report against the petition of H. Doolittle; in which the house concurred.
Mr. Sturges presented a petition from sundry bakers in the town of Danbury, Conn. praying additional duty on imported hats.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Wilbour presented the petition of Constant Teber and others, merchants of Newburyport, relative to the capture and condemnation of the ship William and cargo.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Poindexter said, that in the year 1803, a law passed directing the appointment of commissioners for adjusting claims to lands west of Pearl river, in the Mississippi territory. It was expected at that time that the business would be completed in twelve months. But it had been found from the multiplicity of claims, that the business was much more complex than had been expected. The original compensation made to these officers (at the rate of six dollars per day, so as not to exceed 2000 dollars each) had not been sufficient to reward their services. Application had been made to the secretary of the treasury, who declined advancing money without the authority of congress. For these reasons he moved the following resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the committee on public lands be instructed to enquire into the expediency of allowing additional compensation to the board of commissioners for ascertaining claims to lands west of Pearl river in the Mississippi territory, pursuant to an act for regulating grants of land, &c. passed in 1803, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Porter moved the petition of Jacob Shaluck praying compensation for a vessel captured by an U. S. ship and afterwards by a British privateer, presented at a former session, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.—Agreed.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of Andrew McCall, stating that he had shipped some tea on board a vessel from Philadelphia. In consequence of disease prevailing in that city, he failed in some formality required by law for procuring drawback, and praying to be allowed the same nevertheless.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. J. Clay also presented the petition of Philip Wilson, stating that he had furnished supplies during the revolutionary war, and his claim had been declared barred by the statute of limitation, and praying payment of his dues. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. J. Clay likewise presented the petition of Stephen Kingston, praying for a drawback which he had not been able to obtain from some informality. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
The Speaker laid before the house a number of papers which he had received from Duncan McFarland, relative to the contested election of John Culpepper. Referred to the committee of elections.
Mr. Dana said, as it was frequently necessary in the course of their proceedings, to refer to the constitution of the U. S. he thought it would be necessary to have a number of copies printed for the use of the house and moved a resolution to that effect, which was adopted.
Mr. Darby presented the petition of a society of Baptists in the city of Washington, praying an incorporation.
Referred to Messrs. Darby, Taggart & Culpepper.
Mr. Cook said, that some late occurrences had determined the nation to oppose resistance against a proud, haughty, and piratical nation. To do this, various means were necessary; what more so than soldiers. As the former services of many were still unpaid, they would find difficulty in procuring them now. The family of the war worn soldier was suffering for want, while other people were enjoying the recompence so justly due to his toils. In a public capacity, they should act as in a
private, by paying all just and honorable debts. To bring this principle into practice, he moved the following resolution, which was adopted, 94 members rising in favor of it, and a committee of 17 appointed accordingly, viz. Messrs. Cook, Elliot, Wilbour, J. K. Smith, Mosely, Thompson, Helms, Milner, N. R. Moore, Clapton, Wilson, Holland, Taylor, Smelt, Jer. Morrow, Desha, and Wharton.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire if any, and if any, what description of claims against the U. S. are barred by the statute of limitations, which in reason and justice ought to be provided for by law, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Crowninshield presented the petition of Benjamin Beckman and others, merchants of Salem, Massachusetts, praying relief from a hard case which had occurred to their injury, under the non-importation law. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of Hugh Maxwell and Wm. Lewis of Philadelphia, stating that they had in their possession a number of the Journals of congress under the old confederation, which they pray congress to purchase from them. Referred to a committee of five members, viz. J. Clay, Illey, Champion, Blake, and J. Smith.
Mr. Barker from the committee to whom was referred the memorial of the legislative council and house of representatives of the Mississippi territory, reported a bill to extend the right of suffrage in the Mississippi territory and for other purposes; which was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Newton presented the petition of Martha Wyatt, administratrix of Pitman Wyatt, praying for arrearages of her husband's pension. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. G. W. Campbell presented the memorial of a number of persons residing in the states of Tennessee and Georgia, praying that they may be incorporated for the purpose of opening and rendering navigable that part of the river Tennessee, in the Mississippi territory, known by the name of the Muscle Shoals; and also for the purpose of making certain commercial establishments on the head waters of Tombigbee river, adjacent to the Muscle shoals, and also praying to have the use of a road or roads through the Indian territory, with the assent of the Indian tribes claiming the same.
Referred to a select committee of seven, consisting of Messrs. G. W. Campbell, Jones, Blackledge, Butler, Durell, Storer and Humphreys.
Messrs. Nelson and J. Montgomery each presented petitions for post roads in their districts, which were referred.
The order of the day being called on the bill for erecting a bridge over the Potomac—
Mr. Findley moved that it be postponed, for the purpose of allowing the house to take into consideration the report of the committee of elections on the memorial of Joshua Barney, praying that the seat of William McCreery, one of the sitting members for the town of Baltimore, be vacated.
After some conversation on the postponement, the bill for the erection of a bridge was postponed by general consent till to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Findley the house went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Basset in the chair, on the above mentioned report, when debate ensued as stated in our last.
FRIDAY, November 13.
Mr. Mumford moved that the petitions of the inspectors of the port of New York, and of the measurers of salt and coal, praying for additional compensation, presented at a former session, be referred to the committee of ways and means.—Agreed.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of Jacob Kitten, jun. praying for a drawback which he could not obtain from some informality.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Pithin presented the petition of Gideon Edwards, praying to be placed on the pension list. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Crowninshield presented the petition of Joel Chase of the state of Vermont, praying compensation for services during the revolutionary war. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Storer moved that the petition of J. Walback be referred to the committee of claims. Agreed.
Mr. Jones, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of James Jay,
made a report in his favor, which was read, referred to the committee of the whole, and ordered, with the documents, to be printed.
Mr. Wharton presented the petition of Samuel Doak, praying for compensation for services during the revolutionary war. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Mumford moved that the petition of Isaac Claxon, of the city of New York, praying for drawback, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures. Agreed.
Mr. Newton, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, made a report against the petition of sundry tanners and curriers of Schenectady, New York; which was concurred with.
Messrs. Butler and Chandler each presented petitions on post-roads in their districts; which were referred.
The order of the day being called on the report of the committee of elections on the contested election of Mr. McCreery, Mr. Rea (Tenn.) moved that the consideration thereof should be postponed, which motion was supported by Mr. Blount and opposed by Messrs. W. Alston and D. R. Williams. This motion was negatived—and
The house went into a committee of the whole on the report, Mr. Basset in the chair, when a debate ensued of considerable length, involving, as it did yesterday, an interesting discussion of various points, and among others the constitutional question, whether the state legislatures can prescribe the qualifications necessary for members of congress, other than those which the constitution of the U. S. has expressly designated? Messrs. Bibb and Love opposed the report, and Messrs. Rowan and Johnston supported it.—Messrs. Thomas, Varnum, W. Alston, J. Montgomery, Randolph, Key, Quincy, Smilie, Desha, Alexander, Dawson, D. R. Williams, Nelson, Rea, (Tenn.) M. Clay, Blackledge, Gardenier, also spoke, principally upon incidental points.
The debate was continued till near four o'clock, when the committee rose and obtained leave to sit again, 73 members rising in favor of it.
The following are the committees on various subjects already specified in our congressional register.
On resolution of the legislature of the Indiana territory in favor of the introduction of slavery into that territory:
Messrs. J. Richards, Kirkpatrick, Love, Sloan, Deane, Davenport, Parke.
On what alterations ought to be made in the law fixing the salaries of the secretaries of territories:

Messrs. Randolph, Calhoun, Southard, S. Smith, Gardenier, Tallmadge, Barker.

MONDAY, November 16.
Two other members appeared and took their seats.
Mr. Holmes said he was instructed by the committee of claims to move that they be discharged from the further consideration of several petitions on compensation for services during the revolutionary war, and to move that they be referred to the committee appointed on the subject of claims barred by statutes of limitation.
Agreed.
Mr. J. Clay observed that he understood many large purchases had been lately made by different agents for the U. S. some of whom are paid for their services a certain per centage on the amount of these purchases. He thought this the worst possible way of expending the public money. For the purpose of enquiry and to bring the subject before the house, he moved the following resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That the secretary of war be directed to lay before this house an account or estimate of the purchases of merchandise and supplies made on behalf of the U. States, by the superintendant of Indian trade, by the purveyor of public supplies, and by the military agents in the different districts, for the 3 years ending the 30th of September last, specifying as far as may be practicable, the amount purchased, for what departments, at what place and by what officer, together with the emoluments commissions or salary allowed to such officer.
Resolved, That the secretary of the navy be directed to lay before this house an account or estimate of the purchases of merchandise and supplies made on behalf of the U. S. by the navy agents in the different ports of the U. S. for the three years ending on the 30th day of Sept. last, specifying as far as may be practicable, the amount purchased in each year, at what port and by what agent, together, with the emoluments, commissions or salaries allowed to such agent.
Mr. Nelson rose to move a reference of the petition of Samuel B. Beall, presented in March 1796, and which had been renewed every session since, so that it had gone the rounds of all committees, secretary of state, &c. The petitioner states that at a final settlement for services during the revolutionary war, he received a certificate for the balance due to him. As he was swimming a creek he was obliged to pass with these certificates in his pocket, they got wet and became useless to him. Mr. N. moved that the petition should be referred to the committee appointed to consider the subject of claims, barred by acts of limitation.
Agreed. Mr. Poindexter, after a few preliminary observations, exposing various defects in the organization of the courts of the Miss. T. moved the following resolution, which was adopted; and a committee appointed accordingly, consisting of Messrs. Elliot, Van Allen, Key, Howard, and Poindexter.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary in the act entitled "an act for the appointment of an additional judge for the Mississippi territory, and for other purposes" and also in the act entitled "an act to allow jurisdiction in certain cases to the territorial courts," and that they report thereon by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Barker moved the following resolution, which was negatived, 50 to 47.
Resolved, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of granting a bounty on all salt which shall be manufactured in the U. S. and report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. M. Clay moved the following resolution, which was adopted, and a committee appointed, consisting of Messrs. M. Clay, Thomas, Butler, Dana, Chandler, Helms, and Desha.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in the militia laws, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Dana said he had a resolution prepared for the purpose of calling the attention of a committee of this house to a subject materially interesting to the sovereignty of the nation; the committee he wished to instruct was that on aggressions committed in our waters, &c. but as he did not see the chairman of that committee in the house, he should lay it on the table and call it up when that gentleman was present.
The resolution laid on the table was as follows:
Resolved, That the committee, to whom was referred so much of the message of the president of the U. S. as relates to aggressions within our ports and waters, to violations of our jurisdiction, and to measures necessary for the protection of our ports and harbors, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of providing for the employment of adequate force to compel the immediate departure of such foreign armed vessels as may be found remaining within the waters of the U. S. in defiance of any interditory proclamation duly issued by the president of the U. S.; and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Messrs. Howard, Jer. Morrow, & Fink each presented petitions or resolutions respecting post roads; which were referred.
Mr. Holmes from the committee of claims made a report unfavorable to the petition of Daniel Buck; which was referred to a committee of the whole on the motion of Mr. Fink, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Findley moved for the order of the day on the report of the committee of elections on the contested election of Wm. McCreery: Whereupon,
The house went into committee of the whole—Mr. Basset in the chair, on the said report. A motion was made by Mr. Bibb, to amend the resolution by making it read substantially as follows:
Resolved, That Wm. MacCreery is duly elected, agreeably to the laws of Maryland, and is entitled to his seat in this house.

On this occasion a lengthy debate took place, which was not solely confined to the amendment; but extended to the subject generally. The speakers were Messrs. Bibb, Quincy, Howard, Gardner, Gardner, Upham, Nelson, Findley, Holland, Sloan and Key.
BOSTON, November 10.
From the River Plate.
Yesterday arrived in 33 days from Monte Video, the ship Arrow, Mr. Thomas Brewer, merchant, of this town, supercargo. On the 2d of Sept. the Arrow came out of the harbor of Monte Video, and anchored among the men of war. On the 3d, a violent storm came on, which continued until the 4th, which prevented the embarkation of the troops, and also prevented the merchantmen transports from moving out of the harbor. The morning of the 7th, being Monday, and the day on which, by treaty, the ship was to be restored to the Spaniards, Mr. Whitelocke and staff sent all their baggage on board the Medusa frigate, which was to convey him to England. Gen. Gower and his staff sent their baggage on board the African man of war. At 12 o'clock, on the seventh, the Spanish collector called on the English collector for the keys of the custom house, who observed, he had "no orders to deliver them up." The Spaniard asked, "have the English then obtained leave to stay longer?" The English collector answered, "No, but we have taken it." The Spaniard retired. The Spanish troops, amounting to about 2000, arrived and encamped about 3 miles from Monte Video, ready to take possession of the town. Many of the troops had rode into town with their uniforms and with their swords, which had given the English cause of complaint against the Spanish governor, who issued an order forbidding any to enter the city except in citizens dresses. The Spanish troops and citizens, from the time of the failure of the British expedition against Buenos Ayres, behaved with much propriety and moderation towards the English, and did not show that exultation and insolence which might have been expected. The English merchants and adventurers had re-shipped the goods they could not sell; some to America, some to the West Indies; to Botany Bay; to the Cape of Good Hope; and to England. Some sacrifices had taken place of articles of a bulky nature, and heavy goods, such as iron stores, cordage, iron, lead, crockery, glass, porter, &c. &c. Very few English merchantmen had taken in produce, as those that were not taken into the transport service, were freighted to different parts with English goods. They were all ready to join their respective convoys, which were expected to sail in a day or two. The general was to embark the day that the Arrow sailed, and had said that all vessels which wished convoy must be ready for sea that day. The prisoners of the 71st regiment (taken formerly at Buenos Ayres) and others, had all, except about 300, arrived at Monte Video. Some of the wounded remained at Buenos Ayres. Gen. Whitelocke had appointed Mr. W. P. White, commissary or agent for the prisoners that should remain at B. A. He was to have M. V. the 8th, in a government transport for B. A. The English had burnt in the harbor of M. V. most of the prize vessels of force; the remainder, and the merchantmen, small craft and boats, to the number of 60 or 70, the prize agents had sold to Mr. W. P. W. for a very inconsiderable sum. About the 10th of August, admiral Murray had information of a felucca that was about to sail from B. A. for Spain, and sent captain Robert, in the Nereid, to watch her, who took her and brought her in. It appeared that she was on board dispatches for the court of Spain from Gen. Liniers, and from the captain of B. A. also specie and jesuits bark to the value of 250,000 dollars. The Spanish governor demanded her release of general W. who sent for the admiral; but the latter said, it was no infringement of the treaty, (as was contended by governor Elio) for that said hostilities shall cease on both sides of the River Plate, but made no mention of the navigable part of the river; and that he would not give the vessel up. He took the proper steps on board his ship, the Polyphemus, and burnt the felucca. It was expected the rulers of B. A. would have resented this affair, but appears they were so desirous of getting rid of their enemies, that they were very loth to start a new quarrel with them. It was expected all foreigners would be ordered out of the country, except Frenchmen, after the British had left the town, and that all goods found in possession of the Americans or belonging to them, or any other foreigners, would be confiscated; or at least that they would be obliged to pay the Spanish duty of 50 per cent. The Spanish shop-keepers and traders, expressed much satisfaction at the prospect of getting rid of the English and other rivals of trade. It was understood that Admiral Murray's intention, and the merchantmen for England would stop at Rio Janeiro. Many of the English officers were very sanguine that government would send out another expedition, (of 20,000 men) under a commander fit for an expedition.
From the time of the failure of the expedition dollars were difficult to be got, hardly any other specie was to be seen than ounces (doubloons) which passed for 16 dollars 75 cents; from 5 to 8 per cent premium was given for dollars. Government bills were not to be had; as government had more money than was needed.
The Unicorn and Nereid, frigates, and the Charwell, sloop of war, were to be left to cruise off the mouth of the river, as well to take Spanish vessels bound in, as to prevent English merchantmen from falling into the hands of the Spaniards. A great many merchantmen were supposed to be on their passage from England. It was supposed the river would be declared in a state of blockade by the cruising frigates.
The Spaniards expressed their determination to be very rigid with all foreigners, who should hereafter enter any of their ports in South America, particularly with the Americans, to whom, they say, they are indebted for their late visit by the English.
The failure of the expedition appears to be generally attributed to the commander in chief. The number of killed and wounded was about 2400. Several of the wounded have died since the treaty.
Mr. Rykman, of New-York, had taken a passage in an English ship for Surinam. Messrs. Blodget and Childs, of Baltimore, remained at Monte Video, under the privilege granted them by the court of Spain. Mr. D. C. Deperest, of Connecticut, remained at Monte Video, having obtained liberty of general Liniers, to attend to one or two suits at law, which were pending. Mr. Scollay, of Boston, was going to England, in the fleet.

LONDON, Sept. 21.
Mr. Munroe, the American ambassador, does not at present leave England. He was to have taken his departure from Liverpool, to which place part of his baggage had been forwarded. Since then it has been determined that Mr. Munroe is to continue in this country, to afford his assistance to Mr. Pinckney in the arrangement of the existing differences between the two countries. A note was presented to Mr. Canning, by the American ambassador, on or about the 7th, to which no answer has yet been given. The delay occasions much speculation. It seems, however, to be the prevailing idea, that a war cannot be averted for many months; yet insurances are effected on American ships at four guineas per cent.
A letter received at Boston from Halifax, N.S. reports that Mr. Munroe was coming home in the Revenge with the British ultimatum; that the British refuse to relinquish the privilege of searching for seamen; and that admiral Strachan supercedes admiral Berkeley on the Halifax station.
NEW YORK, November 17.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
By the Sally Barker Windsor, arrived at Boston on Tuesday, in a short passage from Bordeaux, we have French papers to the 5th of October. Their contents, excepting the affair of Copenhagen, are not interesting.
From a gentleman, however, who came passenger in the above vessel, and thro' the channel of private letters, we are able to present our readers with the following interesting intelligence:
Extract of a letter from a house of the first respectability in Antwerp, to another in Bordeaux, dated Sept. 28, and received at Bordeaux by express, just before the Sally Barker Windsor left the latter place.
"We understand an order has been given out by the French emperor to capture every vessel bound to or from England, and if with cargoes, are to be considered as good prize. This is a mortal blow to the American commerce; and we fear will lead to a rupture between America and France."
"It is reported that Mr. Munroe has left London; but not on account of the existing differences between the two countries; but by reason of ill health. Mr. Pinckney is said to be charged with the public business."
The first paragraph of the above letter was corroborated at Bordeaux by letters direct from Paris, of a late date.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Sally Barker Windsor, informs us. "that two cases of capture [American] made since, and under the decree of the 21st of November, 1806, were brought before the prize court at Bordeaux, a short time before he left that city; but the court had refused to give an opinion, until fresh instructions should be received from the emperor."
These instructions were called for by the court, and a question demanded, whether the decree was to be put in full force against the Americans? His answer was, "that in effect, the law must operate against them as with all other neutrals."
We were yesterday favored with the following article from a source which may be relied on:
"Answers were given by the emperor to the council of prizes, on the 23d Sept. last, to the following questions:
"1st. Whether there should be any exceptions to the decree of November 21, 1806, in favor of such nations, as, by their treaties, were allowed a free trade, or the privilege of neutralizing enemies property?
Answer. That as the decree, contained no exceptions, there should not be any made in its application.
2d. Whether neutral vessels, in ballast, should also be made liable to confiscation, upon the plea of capture, or stress of weather, if they had entered a British port?
Answer. That it must lay over for further consideration.
3d. Whether one half of the confiscated property should, in all cases, be appropriated towards indemnifying sufferers by British spoliations?
The answer was in the affirmative."
A letter from a respectable gentleman in Marseilles, dated September 9, states — "That the emperor has marched an army of 5000 men into Leghorn and Civita Vecchia, and laid an embargo on all the vessels lying in those ports."
We believe it probable that admiral Strachan, or some other distinguished British officer, is appointed to succeed admiral Berkeley, on the Halifax station; the rest is conjecture.
PARIS, September 19.
Hopes are entertained that the king of Denmark will not ratify the convention of Copenhagen. The prince royal has testified his utmost indignation at the conduct of his general, in making concessions exceeding his military powers. He has refused to receive Mr. Jackson, the English agent, who had presented himself at Kiel. He has declared he will continue a war with England; and retake by force what had been wrested from him by surprize & treachery.

BOSTON November 14.
FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.—Captain Williams arrived at Salem from Leghorn, confirms the account of the capture of that city by the French; of their laying an embargo, which continued until the 16th September, when it was taken off. He informs, that lord Paget, the English minister, was negotiating at Constantinople, with a prospect of success; being backed by lord Collingwood, with 16 sail of the line; who had taken the island of Tenedos, (recently restored to the Turks by Russia) with 6 or 7 sail of the line: that a French army of 60,000 men, which had been on the march to Naples, supposed to be ultimately destined against Sicily, had halted; and this halt was attributed at Leghorn to appearances unfavorable to the French in other parts of Europe: the discontent at Petersburg it was expected would produce a change there in favor of the war party; and it was confidently believed that England would still be able again to combine both Austria and Russia against France, to which the powerful diversion she had made at Constantinople, would probably contribute. Such was the view of affairs at Leghorn, the 1st Oct.
FROM HALIFAX.—Numerous letters state, that orders have been received there from England, to organize the militia; and put the fortifications in repair. One hundred militia were employed daily, in assistance on the works; and large reinforcements were expected there. So say the letters.
A late letter from Halifax, says, "Sir Richard Strachan is understood to be ordered to this station, with four additional ships of the line."
