OF REPRFSENT.4MITES.

DEC. 7.

A Message, in writing, was received Ira*
President of the Unitise States, which the Speskia
slicliteed to be confidential. The galleries were ac-
cordingly cleared, and the doors dosed, and re-
mained so until the House adjourned.
DEC. 8.
As soon as the House assembled, the doors were
again closed, but were opened in about lea an
hour.

NON-IMPORTATION ACT.

Mr. NEWTON said it would he recollected by the
House, that on Monday next, the 14th, the law pro-
hibiting the importation of certain goods, wares
and merchandixe, would go into operation; and it
was also known, that this law, in its present
was extremely defective. For the purpose of pre-
venting the perplexities which might arise from
these defects, he offered the following Resolution:
Resolved—That the Committee of Commerce and 1111 st
aufactares be ion:acted to inquire whether any, sad V wry,
what alterations ale nweessnry to be made In the sot barallag
date the lbik day of April, taw, prabibitiag the innintia!lod
of certain goods, wares sad merchsadite ; with the tarsi Oa
vermin, Hid sr otherwise. He said, it was the ray af all
Govetaimats M prevent litigates; sad to eased wry of
their fans which were fused mere rise to it.
The &solution was agreed to—ayes M.
The House went into a idominittee of the whole
on the Rill from the Senate, making Oil approprimi
tion of 850,000 dollars for the building of I9d ad-
ditional gun-boats.
Mr. ittuira moved to• strike out the words
w eighty eight." He thsughtthat the gim-boata
in addition to those we already had, would be
quite 'sufficient. He said dist the afgressiont cam'
mined on our commerce, could tiot-have been pit
1.-Vented by any number of gun-boats. A few fri
gates would better enable us to avenge the inanit
offered us. He was no friend to a large navy; bet
he thought that a few ships would be of great im
iwirtance to this country.
This motion occasioned considerable debate. I

was opposed by Means. Bttawstt,lo
SHIELD, and Btounr, and advocated by Mew
Lmnt; when the question was taken, and di
amendment was lost. The Bill was then agreed
without amendment.
The same Committee of the whole proceed.d I
consider the Bill making farther provision for
protection of our ports and harbottrs, cad for bulls
tug gun-boats. Considerable! debate also to
place on this Bill; bet before it was gone diroug
a motion was made, that the Committee of t 1
whole rise, report progress, and ask leave to
again.—This motion was agreed to.
The Committee of the whole then rose, report
progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. BLOUNT immediately moved, that the Hot
again resolve itself into a Committee of the wit
on the same Bills.
This motion was agreed to ; and the House
cordingly went into Committee of the whole oa
same subject.
Another motion was soon after, made and I
ried, that the Committee-of the whole agias r
report progress, and ask Wave to sit'again.
Mr. DANA offered the following resolution:—
Resolved, 'that it u expedient to provide ter regah
the cundact of each merchant vessels, as, by epsilon
the respectiic owners, may said is concert for mistsid ■
awe and defence in any lawful commerce ; end also fu
thug, according to the coarse at preceding is Courts
mushy, the respective rates of cestvibution to be mad
teen, thew on account of any bars or damage which' ■
thereby inclined.

Mr. CROWNINSUILLD was opposed to going
any regulation on the subject. Were we wi
he valied, to allow our merchant vends tv
themselves, and go in a body, while we wen
state of neutrality ? Or, were we prepan
deny the right of search of merchant vein
contraband goods? Although, he and, we i
be obliged to have recourse to the mode p
out in the resolution. yet, at the present tii
would be improper to adopt it.
Mr. DAN • said that it was not the object
