HOt'SE OF R CPR F.SENTATIVES—Isa. es.
Tilt. House proceeded to copaider the motion
made on Saturday, by Mr. 11. R. to re-
commit the Bill in addition to the Act Supplement-
ary to the Act laying an emintrgo.
FOREIGN INFLUENCE.

Mr. Jonsson robe to reply to the observations of
Mr. Gardenier, on Saturday, respecting the em-
bargo. He declared a friend to the freedom of
debate, but said that the champs made against the
liouse ought not to he est usol. It had .heen said
(he ohserved). that this 1 louse was pitied by All
invisible hand ; that, Ike the Conseil of Five
Hundred, they waited for the word of command,
and obeyed it ; that they were under foreign in-
fluence; that they were 'ireful:: the chants which
were to hind us under the doinittion of the French
Emperor; and that they were mere oattonates.—
Mr. Johnson considered such assertions as a hare
skolder. He said this upon the moat mature con-
sideration, tod should not retract it; and if the
feelings arsiziy gentleasen were :wounded by this
declaration, he alsould not consider himself guard-
ed by his privileges, or by the canopy which clo-
venni him.

Mr. MI RA spoke also at length in reply to Mr.
Gardenier; but Ins oh,errations could not lie dis-
tinctly heard.

M;. New?es spoke in justitiestion of the em-
bargo snesstire, declaring it the wised measure
which could have been adopted.
The SPZAASII observed, that the subject before
Om House was, a motion to remit the Bill.
Mr. G. W. CAnnar.s.t. mid, that if the charge
made against the (-3overnment, of being tinder fo-
reign influence, was tem, it ought to he proved awl
'made public, in order that a change might take
place in the public counts ; and if fake, the anthor
of it ought to be consigned to that disgrace and in-
famy which he deserved. The accuser or accused
must be guilty; there was no medium in the case;
and the nation ought to know the truth. Ile as-
melted that the charge was an infamous falsehood.
Mr. pannobeill dwelt at considerable length on the
einharge.measure, which he highly approved.
Mr. Bran sold, that although lie had voted
against the embargo, he disclaimed the charge of
French nefireence.
Mr. MONTOONIZIRY add, that the House had
adjourned on Saturday, in order to give the Geh-
tieman from New York ,time to substantiate his
charge. His failing to do it, was a proof of its

falsehood. Another method of proceeding* had
at tint auggeoted itself tr him I but when he consi-
dered the futility of the charge, and the source
from which it proceeded, he thoiNht the hest course
for the House to pursue, would he to treat it with
scornful contempt. .

The porstiou was then tttlien on rrJeotntnitting
the Bill to the Committee of commerce and manu-
factures, and it was agrevd to.
The Howse went into It Committee of the whole,
on the Bill for theclinisification of the militia. This
Bill has already undergone 31 great. steal of discus-
"ion in the After some disens.ion, the
Committee ruse, reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit ugaiti.—Adjounied.
