Congress have come to the folloWinab Resolution :
Resolved, that so much of the Message of the
President of the United States, as relates to. the con-
du& of the Belligerent Powers towards the United
States,'and to the, unjustifiable constru&ion lately
given by some of them to the Law.of Nations, as it
regards the, Rights of Neutrals, be referred to the
Committee of Ways and, Means ; with inStrnaions
to inquire in what respe&s, and to what extent, our
Neutral Rights have been violated, and what Leg's-,
lative measures the true interests of the United. States
requires to counteraCt such violation." . ' •

" The important question respe&ing the infringe-

a debate, to.the Committee of Ways and Means, on
the principle, that it isarevenue question. The Corn-
mittee.consists of two Members from Virginia, one
from Massachusetts, one from Conne&icut, one
from Maryland, one from Georgia, and one from
Tenuesse. Five Democrats, two Federalists. The
business of this Committee, it seems,' is to prepare
an argument in resistance of the principle of 56,

The Remonstrances made by the American States
to the Government of Spain, respe&ing the detention
of American vessels, and the obstrudion of their
trade, have, notwithstanding all assertions to the
contrary, produced the desired effe6t. Spain, feeling
the necessity
.of peace with the United States, has
made the most abjea concessions ; and, all idea of a
rupture between the two Countries has entirely sub-
sided.—A communication to this effeet has reached
Mr. MoNIIO, the Ambassador from the United States
of America, in London.

'OLD BAILEY,

stcQNl) DAY-:--THURSIjAY:,

John SloPer was indiefe'd for "stealing seven pounds
weight of pork, the prOperty of J. Inns, a butcher,
in 1,6'n0---lane.
A person appeared on behalf of the Prisoner, and
said-he understood him to be ft young man of good
connexions in the country, where .he 'had been
brought-up at a boarding-school, and that his friends
were not present, because they did not expeet the
trial to come on this morning.
Mr. Justice ,LAWAENCE asked hitt if he kne*
any thing Of the Prisoner ? He said he had" no
knowledge of him—he only stated what he heard.
The Learned Judge-observed, that this Gentleman
might as well not have made a speech, since he had
no knowledge of the matter, for that the Prisoner
had been here twice for picking pockets.'
The Prisoner -was then tried, and convieted of
stealing the pork.

Mary .Collingwood was indided for a capital of-.
fence ; that of stealing a pelisse, silk bonnet, and
other articles of wearing apparel, of the wife of a
Mr. Brown, of New-street, Covent-Garden ; and
also for stealing a canvas bag, gown, and aprOn,
and some other articles of wearing apparel, jie pro-
perty of W. Higgins, a lodger in Mr. Brown's
house; and the indidment stated, .that the Prisoner.
afterwards, about the hour Of sevennt night, bur-
glaribusly broke out of the dwelling-house.
James Dumont Brown swore, that the Prisoner
bad been his servant for about a fortmght. On the
14th of December, . about seven in the evening, he
missed her suspeding that she had robbed him, he
searched the house, and discovered that the different
articles stated in the indi&ment had been stolen.
Knowing the Prisoner to be a native of Sunderland,
he went to that part of Wapping off which Sunder-
land vessels are usually stationed in the River, and
made inquiries after her, but without died. He de-
scribed her so Well, however, that she might easily be
known, , and he left his address at a public-house,
so as tO.bear of her if she should be apprehended,.
which she soon was, for she. came therewith a view
of taking her passage back to Sunderland ; these ar-
ticles. Were found in her possession. The pelisse and
bonnet of Mrs.' Brown were on the
.Prisoner when
apprehended, she wearing them. The bag which
was found with her, was a canvas bag commonly
used by seamen. Thisbag belonged to Mrs. Higgins,
who is n lodger in the house of Mr. Brown; her hus-
band is a §eathan, • and she was present with him.
Mrs.BroWn was not present to prove the clothes to be
hers, but Mr.-Brown said'he believed they were his
wife's clothes: Several articles had been reclaimed
from a pawnbroker, in consequence, of information
obtained byMri. Brown of the Prisoner, while in
NeWonte, but these articles Were not produced.
The CHIEF BARON observed, that this prosecu-
tion had not been,cdndu6ted with the care that be-.
longed to it, for these articles ought to have been
produced.; and Mrs. BroWn.otight to have appeared
as a witness; she beihg much more likely to know
the articles of her dress'thanher husband; however,
unless the Jury had a substantial doubt on the com-
plexibn of the case, they would find the Prisoner
guilty Of the larceny., but acqnit her of the capital
part of the charge, that.of " bUrglariOn§ly breaking
out Of the dwelling7house at seven at night," because
there was no evidence' Whatever on that
.point.—
Guilty of stealing the goods, .but not of bureari-
ously breaking out:of the dwelling-house.
Inn Co:aper and charlotte Bennett were indiCted
for a capital offence, an highway robbery, or. IVlarys
the wife of John Cook, putting her in fear, and
:I taking from her person, against her will, five
shil-
lings and sixpence in silver, and 19,E..), 'halfpence, an
apron and bonnet, the property of the said John
Cook.'

The Prosecutrix, Mary Coolc, gave
,an account'of
her being, eight weeks ago, ..'about iWelve o'clock at,
night, in a street near Whitecltapel;going for a pint
of two-penny, but the public-house she went to was
shut ; the two:Prisoner's met her, and said they
would take her to a: place where. slie-might have
what she would, .and soon after knocked her down,
held her by the hair of her .head for ten minutes,
and took 6s. 6d. in silVer, and about 135.. in copper;
which she had in her pockets, She being a dealer in
onions, selling them in the street.
The whole of, the story, she related appeared alto-
gether so inconsistent and contradiClory as to make
it infinitely too dangerous, in. the oPinion: of the,
Learned Judge, Mr. Justice LAVRENcE, to take
away the lives of two hutnatei being's' upon the faith
of it ; the more especially as nothing was found on
the Prisoners, and as one of them had a good cha-
raeter ; and if the tale • was false as to one, 'it rnurt
be false as to the other of the Prisoners, because she
had sworn they were both together.:--BOth—Arot:.
Guilty.
. William Cpsins was tried for stealing three tele-
scopes, value two, guineas, the property of George
Wilson—Acquitted.
. Thomas Smith was indiEted for stealing frOm the
per Son of Ilachl D'Hilliers, in her dwelling-house;
to the arnountof 401.
„. .

It appeared on evidence' thaethe Prosecntrix and
her husband, Mr. 'D'Hilliers, keep .thee Dike of
Clarance Public-house, Charing-cross. The Prisoner
came to their house to lodge early in the month of
November last. r 'He was in the habit of never going
abroad,, and spent a good deal of money. in their
house to the amount frequently of two -.or three
guineas a day, treating people indiscriminately who
happened-to come to the house. He pretended that,
he had money to receive from the India House, and

used their house so familiarly, that he frequently
messed within the bar. On the evening of the 7th
of December, Mrs. had made up a sum of
money, 'consisting of two 101. notes, two 11: notes,
four seven shilling pieces, a 51. note, and some
other monies, which having put into a purse she de-
posited in her p,ocket.. As she sat in the bar about
eleven o'clock, she fell. asleep, and continued so for
about half an hour. The Prisoner was down stairs,
and andut twelve o'clock want -to- his chamber as
usual. She didnot miss the purse till the -morning
of the next day, when her suspicion immediately fell
on the Prisoner, as he had gone Out that- morning,
which he had never done before du-ring- the three
weeks he had lodged with them. In consequence of
this suspicion, Mr. D'Hilliers went in quest of the
Prisoner, and found him . at the Green Man, in St.
Martin's-lane. The Prisoner refused to be searched,
but, afterwards on
,a Constable being sent ibt, ha

iVlrieithereci the purse; 'siyin't;e; ihat every thing wa'S.‘
right. The 51. note, however', on exarnination of
the contents, inissing..- ,
lkfr. identified the two 101. notes; spe-
cifyiag the persons from whom be had received
them. , .

•
The Prisoner, in his defence, said he had found
the purse over night, a,id meant to return it next
morning, but had gone out with another man who
called on him. Had he meant to be false, he said
he had had enough of time to have made his escape.
Notwithstanding this defence; which was told
pretty plausibly, the Jury, after a short delibera-
tion, brought in a verdia—Guilty, Death.

• A violent storm commenced- at an early hour yea-
terday morning, attended with heavy rain ; it was
feltin every part of the metropolis and its vicinity.
In the neighbourhood of Portland-place and Port=
man-square several houses were much insured. The
back part of a house in Brownlow-street was blown
down • the roof of the. Pitt's Head Public-house;
Pitts Head Mews, Park-lane, was blown off. The
stack of chimnies belonging to the Workhouse, St:
Pancras, was blown down, and fbrced through the
roof, into the second floor, which contained several
'omen, one of whom was killed on the spot; the
others were much bruised. The front brick wall of
a barn, near the Castle, at Kentish-town, was also
blown down, and like Wise the roof of the Castle,
which was much damaged.' Tiles from the roofs of
houses flew in every direEtion. The inhabitants of t hat
part of Fleet-street which is adjacent to St. Bride's
Church were in great alarm the entire of the
_day. Some time since a small piece •of stone in
one of the angles of the spire was observed to
have,given way, and to proje& from the building.
The church being so closely surrounded by . houses
that any accident to the spire must carry destrriEtion
With it, Mr. JUNES, of Newcastle-street, Strand,
an eminent builder, remarkable for his skill in
ere&ing scaffolds, was immediately employed to'
examine it; when he discovered that the steeple was
cracked at the bottom, and that it must be taken
down. A scaffolding was ere&ed, and Mr. JONES
had taken part of the steeple down. During the
storm of yesterday it was perceived to rock, and the
scaffolding was forced close to it. About 12 o'clock
yesterday morning the storrn abated.-
. The beautiful cedar which overhung the Procne.;
nade at- the:back of the. Green-house in Kensing-
fon-Gardens, was torn up by the viOtence .of the
late- storm. The diameter of the root, on mea-
surement, appeared to be above twelve feet. VII:
riOus other trees present a mutilated 'appearance;
from the torn-off branches. The wind came from
the North-west, and for the space of. twelve mi-•
nutes blew a violent hurricane; its violence then
abated. •

.. The storm on Friday Morning did considerable
damage on the Coast of Essex, and -in ;Mersey
Island, M that. County, by the demolition of num
berleSs baitis,•stacks, The buildings on East-
hall Farm, belonging to New-College, Oxford, have
been nearly swept. away by this tremendous hurri-
cane.

Yesterday a whetxy, with two Gentlemen on
hoard, was upset .between Strand-lane and the Old
Barge-house, by a gust of wind and rain. The Gen-
tlemen being good swimmers, reached a raft of tim;•
ber, unhurt; but the waterman struggled-some time
'under the boat, and was sinking, quite .exhausted,
when he was picked up by a boat belonging to a West-
country Barge, whi:h had put off to their assistance
on observing the accident.
