but, accoisling to the same accounts, they had

forced marches to Seville, and taking limit
with his army, reinforced with 6,000 men, hetwet-n
that capital and licja ; in the latter plrye his horse
attacked the advanced part of Victor's army, and
dislodged them flout thence. Not only the inha-
bitants of Seville, but also of all Andalusia, are
animated with the must patriotic spirit.

the French have not ouly not advanced in that

The troops of the enemy which were at Agudo,
Saceruela, and Almaden, are milting, as we are
informed, in the Lotter town, and are beginning
1; eir march in the direction of Torre Milano, on
the rout to Cordova. There is every reason to
believe that they will be disappointed in their in-
tention, and the ohject of their enterprise ; as, ac-
cording to the information of persons who may be
relied on, there is not, in the whole extent of the
Sierra Moreno, which covers, and, as it were, shuts
in Andalusia a single inch of ground, which don

The motion for •u nni-linite postpo3eimnit of the
joint resolution irons the Scuate, still under consi-
deration.

Mr. Qu i NCI remarked, that this solemn Inarr6•
lily, the represet.tative of the Amerirati people.
toe image of their wisdom, in a cons/Anthem' point
of view, was called um. to give its sanctum to the
joint isogon to of iiidignatton and reptoscli„ ou the
character autl conduct of • single individual,
charged with hap-Artier, indecorum, and affruative
insult, disguised falsehood, and fallaciousoess. IL
was palming possible to uucr words of greater con..
tiotnidy. This individual, too, was the representa-
tive ors Sovereign not bound to support hi.l be-
yond the hounds of justice, but who would with-
sate Ins vistaless. if he Wel slashed in his reputa-
tion. This hull of anathemas. fulminated in the
name of the people, from the hies tower of their
authiniiy—..hat would not be their indignation
when found, us he feared they would, it was
leidt opini u basis false in itself ?—to fact, the
Ilmise was :shout to assume no light responsibility.
This respcinsibil.ty was of ori momentary exi.troce;
it was nut to " strut and frrt its hour upon the
stage, and then be seen no snore ;" it would
last far ever. The stain of falsehood was about
to lie stamped upon tar !melte:id of she :Minister.
—Tic nation has about to lie degraeled in that
.of-esteem which was " the pearl of great price,
wlych gold could not ; of winch 140 aor
not deprive them." This resolution hail no
more to t:o with the relations between this country
and Great Britain, thou it had to du with the r• lo-
tions between this country and Chola. Would it
stand tho t.st of aecistillyi, when neletti our pas-

justified, either on the ground that Mr. Jackson
hint omitted t 3 coutr.id,ct the supposit•rm that he
had made the insinuatiou witch lie was stated to
have uadr. It contained, to his mind, • false as-

House use these women's weapons
flat the resolution was to he the test of patriot-
ism. With patriotism he would have nothing to
do, if it Inquired the violation of the sanctity of
truth to sustain it. It was not the highest duty.

nounced the British Minister to he a legollzeil

Gentlemen had manifytterl much tendrrue•* for the
reputation of Mr. Jock,•ou. I'l what ►ituation
would that of the Pre•idrnt be placed. should this
resolution not he adopted lie asserted his brlii•f,
that My. Jackson had heen instructed by his Co-
vernmerit to insult our*. He tuaintaintd that this
Minister hid charged the Executive with collusion
with Mr. Erskine; and th:a it was by proving this
«illusion only. that the disavowal of the arrange.
silent could be ju•tilied. He said that Mr.
Jackson•', whole object was to prove fraud
upon the Secreia7 of State; arid thus to i.na•
haste the ,irrioui fur ut. He cited Pollorr uu

Canning knew, before. Mr. Jackass came to this
country. that the faith and honour of the Bri-
tish Government were gone, uelets the stigma
of fraud or collusion cined be fixed on the
American Cabinet. A stain would hare bevu
stamped upon them, which the devouring hand of
time could not edict. He urged the distinettru
bete ten an arrangement and a treatband cited the
authority of Mr. Canuing in support of his perotion,
which Gentlemen on the other side Would not call
in question, tiniest they had very lately chunged.
He was one of those who believed that the re-
newal of the continental war had prodeced the dis-
avowal of the arrangement : and the repeal of the
embargo hid inspired the British Minister with an
idea of the imbecility of this Government, which
would turn to their advantage. He said that it
WAS the southern and western farmers who had, in
tI it tonntry, most felt the presiure of this mcartve.
Some of the farmers of the worth had fattened on
it. la reply to the assertion of the Gentlemen
from Aliniorchusette (Hr. Quincy) relative to the
time at which the knowledge of the incompetent y
of Mr. Erskine's instruction. came to the Executive,
he said that Mr. Jackson himself had not denied
that Mr. Smith correctly comprehended his 111..
SIMI Aeon.

Su far from the pcsseire of this resolution being

hared that If it wits not peed. she wools. so much
