MIRANDA'3 EXPEDITION.

FRQM TIM NATIONAL INTELLIGENCRIT.-
.. The two HOUSCS of eongres's biought their Sit-
. tinge to a close on Mondayenieht about' 1,1 o'clock,
when an Adjournment took place to the first MonL•
day in December.
The business which excited Most attentiorlep 417.
Opel with perhaps becoming Warmth, was theepre-
' sentation, b.y Mr. QUINCY, of two Memorials, one
from S. GeOGDEN, the other from WM. -SMITH, 'of
the City at New-York.
The Meniorials are very long; and give. a minute
detail of the circus stances alledged to have attended
the Expedition of MlRANDA.;acknowledge the par-
ticipation of the Isflemorialists in the enterprize ;
retell declare it to have been their impression that the
Expedition was 'countenanced by the implied sanc-
tion. of the President and the Secretary of Sate.
The Memorialists further, complain of the unjust
• and illegal proceedings of the Circuit Court of New
York. The Memorials are couched in langnage un-
commonly acrimonious,' and ascribe•to the Public
Ageet, unvC,orthy and impure motives. After the
reading of these Memorials an interesting Debate
ensued, the length of which forbids its insertion in
this day's Paper. We shall only at present attempt a
brief sketch, reserving its full detail .for future
Paper....
Mr.-ty ow reprobated. the style and contents of the
P titions, and moved that the Petitioners should have
• leave to withdraW their Petiticn.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Ndw-York, inveighed. in terms
,of stromg indignation against the, nature and ten-
dency *of attempt. -lie.pronounced it unprece-
-dented, while a- prosecution was . coram judice, for
the acettSed to come forward and attempt to wrest
their case fFem. a legal tribunal; declared his total
disbelief of the charges, criminating the Executive,
and spoke with the greatest emphasis of the enor-
. Miry of the efforts of men thus situated to dissemi-
- hate suspicion with regard to the motives of the
• Ex.eLutive Government, and said it was rediceleus
to imagine that any Legislative Inquiry could be
. male on the very last day of the Session.
Mr. QUINCY rose to eeplain. He said hedeemed
it his ditty to present the Memorials e disclaimed all
intention 'to cast a censure on the Administration ;
• but he thought, considering the fa4lsalledged by the
Memorialists, it was proper to make Inquiry ; and
added, that from circumstances known to Gentlemen
on the floor, the Executive had been advised of the
' fitting out of the Leander time enough to have pre-
vented her sailing.
- Mr, QuINCY was followed 'ey Messrs. Smietz and
of Tennessee, who delivered opinions nearly
the same With those of Mr. WILLIAMS.
;Mr. JACICSON then rose, and pronounced the Me-
. porials a tis,ue.of falsehoods and calumnies, basely
intended to defame the Governmient, and denied that
the Executice had possessed the information stated
by Mr. QUINCY.
- After a few remarks. from Messrs. INIUMFORD,
NIASTERS, and J3IpWELL, Mr. EARLY offered the
fallowing Resolutien
Resolved, That the,Charges containedin the Me-
morials of S. G. OoDkN and WILLIAM SMITH, are,
- in the opinion, of this El misc.; unsupporied by any evi-
dence which in the least degree eriMinates the Exe-
.cutive Government of this Country : that the said
Meinorials appear to have been presented .ate time,
and under circumstances, invidiougy calculated to
excite Unjost suspicions ib the minds of the good
people of this Nation against the existing Admini-
stration oldie General Government ; and that it would
be highly imprOperinthis Honse to take any step which
might influence or prejudice a cause now depending
in a legal Tribunal of the United States : there-
fore; Resolved, That the said .Memorials be, by the
Clerk of this House, returned to those from whom
they came.
