BOVSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MARCH 10.
RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Mr. Lowones from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, delivered in the following Report:—
The Committee to whom has been referred so
much of the President's Mesuege, at the commence•
newt of the Session, as relates to Foreign Affairs,
respect fully report....
That their attention was directed, iinmedistely
upon their appointment, to the state of the rela-
tions of the United States with Spain, and
dist their delay in making a—rtport upon them
must be attributed to their wish " to afford an
opportunity for such friendly communications,
during the present Session of Congress," as the
Government of Spain had authorised us to ex.
pest. They thought it better that Congress
should postpone its determination until teems
might citable it to make that determination dt.
finitive, than that it should pass a Contingent Act
for authorising measures which it was not proposed
immediately to execute; that it should Gann! its
determination upon relations ascertained to exist,
than upon a calculation of events which might,be
expected to occur dining its sitting.
But more than a year has pawed since the signs.
ture of the Treaty by winch it was proposed to
terminate the long ditkrences between 11w United
States 11114 Spain. Mort than six tuonths since,- the
appointment of a new Minister from Spain, who
was " forthwith" to make known to the United
States the intentions of his Government, and we
have advanced so far in the Session as to make it
necessary to propose, without further delay, any
measure on which it is expected that Congress shall
act before its adjournment.
The Committee will not attempt to add any thing
to the exposition of the rights of the United States
and the obligations of Spain, which is coutained iT
the correspondence between the two Governments•
We can hardly expect, from continued negociation,
the redress which has been claimed fir in years,an.l
promised for 18—which has been is second oldie
promised, sad a second time withheld. In inch a
negotiation, the signature of a treaty seems to be a
mere incident, and not its term.
For the spoliation, which have been committed
upon the property of our citizens, fur the invasion
of our soil, for the weakness or paitiality which
has• made a Spanish territory tile place of rendez.
vous and encampment of an enemy, and which
has still more lately permitted the Indian . inhahi•
tants of that territory (whom Spsi:t was hound by
treaty to restrain) to engage in Ravage hostilities
against us ; for all these acts of war, a.people less
attached to peace would seek redress only by war.
To capture and confiscate the ships and property of
the wrong doer, would be admitted to be a policy of
mildness and forbearance; but, by such reprisals,
the Government that does the wrong suffers less
than the isnoffending subject. It r•tems a more
just reprisal to occupy the province hltich has been
made an instrument of injury, which has been dr•
signated by Spain herself as the fund for our O.
deutnity, and whose occupation by the United
States will stop the acctimulatioo of those claims
for compensation and redress, which the an...novena.
meat of that neglected colony coirtinually pro.

Bill to authorise the President of t& United.

and establish a temporary government therein.
There appears to much reason too believe, foam

to annul, if the projected. Treati hod brew rats.
