that, the opinion of the lion. Judge, r,specting
Mr. Gryines. was delivered whets Mr. W. was out
of Court. That opinion, as it was stated in sub-
stance in the newspapers, Ilk, he believed, been
communicated to Mr. IVorkinan and others, by
several gentlemen of veracity, who had heard it.
Mr. DETEXAC said, ,that he had communi-
cated to Mr. Workman the judge's observations
ou committing Mr. Grytnes be had made-the
statement according to the best or his recollection;
aud'his memory was in general rein:irk:46ly reten-
tive and correct. He had believed and still be-
lieved that his statement was substautially faith-
ful : at all events, he did not hesitate to declare,
that the observations which it attributed to the
lion, Judge, on the conduct of Mr. Ur) me*, t' ere
such as that conduct merited, wet such as the
Hon. Judge in:glit with propriety have made. lf,
' however, this report contained any thing &Terrine,
of punishment. it was upon hint (Mr. D.) the au-
thor, and not upon Mr. W. that the punishment
ought to fall.
The rule was however made absolute.

ARMY BILL.
On motion of Mr. D. B. Wm flame, the Army
.Bill was ordered to lie upon the table, in order that
Mr. Nicholas's and Mr. Bacon's Roe)lutious might
be tuken up,
NEW DUTIES.
Mr. W. A Lime called for the Order of the Day
upon the 13i11 for doubling the duties upon impel-
odious ; but the House refused to take at up, only
thirty voting in the affirmative.
REPEAL OF THE EMBARGO AND ARMED COM-
MERCE.
The House resolved itself into a Committee of
the whole upon the Resolutions moved by 31r. Ni-
cholas and Mr. Bacon. •
Mr. Bacos in the Chair.
Mr. MILNOII. called fur a division on the first Re.
solution, iii order to take a question upon the Re-
peal of the Embargo only, and moved to fill the
blank, for the time on which the repeal is to com-
rueuce, with the 4th day of March next.
Mr. RANDOLPH urged the propriety of filling
the blank with an earlier dm.: lie observed; that
he had received information, that, iu the Northern
part of the Union, the Embargo Laws were, in the
broad glare of day, not evaded, but utterly disre-
garded. Sleighs, in vast numbers, were constant-
ly passing from the United States into Cmada. la-
den, pint only with the products of the Northers
States, but with those of the Southern, particu-
larly cotton. The Canadian ports would be closed
by the ice longer than our ow u, and if the Em-
bargo should be immediately repealed, we should,
ourselves, reap benefits that would otherwise ex-
elusively accrue to the violator* of our Inns, and
the Canadian capitalists.
31r. Mtmtue made a few remarks, explanatory
of the reasons which irultired him to move a parti-
eulur day, although he was, himself, desirous of
an immediate repeal.
Mr. NICHoLAS having taken his seat, expressed
a wish that the gentleman from Penney lvania would
withdraw hie motion, as he wished to submit a me.
ditication of his original proposition.
This Mr. Musiort declined doing.
Considerable couversatiou ensued.
Mr. Erre, moved to till the blank with Pie Ist
day of June,- which motion superseded that of
Mr. Manor.

At this point of the proceedings, a Message was
recei. ed limn the President of the United States,
upon which the Speaker resumed the chair, and the
Al. ,sage was rend by unanimous con: eat.
The Message eintvece.l a letter twin Ntr.
Can-
ning to M. Pinkney, dated the Ad of November,
in .e .1) to Mr. Piiikeey's of the 10th of that mouth.
Mr. Cunning tioleatilly &clan s that lie can hid as
trace in his memory of the fact stated by Mr. Os&
my, that the substance of his iustructions" on the
subject of the proposition made to Great Britaiu,
was originally communicated to Mr. C. in conver-
sation. Ile then proceeds, is a strain of the most
exquisite Irony, to observe, that, as Mr. l'inkney
appeared to have a power sJ nearly absolute over
the subject, it was not at all strange that he should
have been at a loss to USeefiit;ll tar pre i,e Inuit be-
t oevu Mr. I).'s vaitioe instructions and his personal
discretion Ile also hints, that the most natural
manner for accounting fur the misunderstanding,
is, by supposing that the proposition to the British
Government was to be shaped and timed by the
result of another proposition to another Covent-
! tarot (France.) Saute of these insinuations, Mr.
Pinkney, in a reply, of the date of Nov. ,4n, as re-
' markably concise as his letter of Nov. loth wum
prolix, undertakes to repel.
The documents having been read. Mr. MAC •
resumed the chair of the Conanittee.
Mr. NICHOLAS moved to strike out the w
of his Resolution, except the word "Resolved'
for the purposeisf introducing a proposition,
lowing up that repeal of the einbargo, at a cart
day, by letters of marque and reprisal. It
Mr. lArna observed, that a declaration of
to cotutneuce at a future day, would be a
thing in history. He wished to discuss the
of the repeal of the embargo, before that
was agitated.
Mr. NICHOLAS replied, and was followed 1.
Mr. DANA, who expressed hie satisfaction -that
Gentleman from Virginia had now brought
ward an affirmative, specific, practical propositi,
instead of the sort of compound negative which
Resolution originally involved. As to the decl
tint of war at a fnture day, 'a hypothetical de
ration of war. belligerent hypothesis, or whatl
it might he called, it would be a subject of tut*
considarabon.
The motion to strike out was carried by a grill
majority.
Mr. RANDOLPH moved to strike out the w _
" of and insert the word
with," is order that the repeal might
diets.
Negatived. 71 to 311.
The question recurred, upon insertin
slay of Jape.
Mr. MINA strongly urged the policy of an im-
mediate repeal, from a variety of interesting con-
siderations'.
Mr. D 5 R. Mamma delivered a speech of coo.
