same di.) pass, and carried in the affirmative.

Putt.nnr.t.rnt A, I)►sc, I —On the 9th inst.
Mr. DASSP.TT, st►Un►itted the follo.wirigpreantly'le
endd-resolution to the consideration of Cite Hti-aie
of Reprcsentati Yea.

" Whereas, It is, represented that Greattritain
has seized sundry persons fighting under Ame=
rican flag laying claims' to them alike inco•mpatible
with justice, am( the right of the Uuitea. States, as
an independent natiOn.

" Resolved, That thei'res;dent h;e, requested to

ceived on that subject, and the -measures taken to
redreqs an evil which violate, the rights and inte-
rests, And outrages the fee lugs, of a free and in-

Nrw-YintK, i)i:c. gentleman who ar-
rived here yesterday in the steam-boat, informed
us, that Gen. Smyrn,Conunander in Chivf at Nia:-
tra, bad resigned his command, and the army
were going into. winter-quarters.
Gen. DE A Ymontir has arrived in Albany, and
Gen. 11Lootti Leto in this city.
GeouQu'rowN DEc.3.--There was heard
a heavy cannonade S: E. from our bar yesterday.
It 'is supposed to have been between the three
b`rirgi and the frigate Southampton, which have
been oft Charleston some time past, and the United
States frigates President, Congress, and Argus,
which, it is said, have been ordered on this
station,

ALIIM4Y/ offiCeri 'who arrived
in this city yesterday from Sacket's arbour, state
that our fleet'luul all returned to that putt, and
were laid up for the winter,

By an American letter of marquei, captured by
the Co/onus, we have intelligence from Philadel-
phia to, the 16th tilt. but no ,mention whatever is
made of the loss of the PQictiers, .which we there-
fore take for granted to have beetti,d report totally
void of foundation they mention an event however,
at which we are neither surprised nor displeased,
namely, a Mutiny in the American Army under
General the redoubtable braggadocio,
Whose :11abadil Proclamation we inserted y eget.-
day, and who covered hinaelf with glory by running
away to save his life. We understand, also, that
there is a total disorganization in the Government
of the Carolinas. The election, for President bad
not terminated, and it was still doubtful whether
MADISON weal(' succeed.

The clamourers for Peaoc, at least Arose who
have been the dupes of the misrepresentations of
artful and designing men, and have thus' been
induced to join in Petitions, which could have
no other effect than to embarrass the Go .
vernment, -.and render, even under the most
favourable eiriannstances, the object osteris4,-
bly
,sought for more difficult to be, obtained,
may now learn,, from the Moiliteur, that- their cia-
inour, as it bas been childish and,absurd, is now
equally inconsistent with real patriotisni anti true
British feeling. It will be seen from a note in
the 3lonileur, referring to a passage in an English
paper respecting speculations on the, probability of
o general peace, that BootraraarEsLio, « ](you
want to know the terms, read the Duke of.
BA6SANo.II kart' tC) Lord CASTIAREA,mf.”---Thiv
letter„ which we 'published lust Jul), •we have this
day re-inserted, in order that it may be distinctly
understood to Ivhat the note refers. It will
he seen there, that the terms thus, 'offered
toe nothing less thaa the. asp , desertion of

our Allies, the deliberate violation of our to,-
Mtn., and the sacrifice of our charaeter a.% a na-
tion. With respect to one of the•contlitions pro-
posed, the independence of the pre,ent 'dynasty in
Spain., it was contended b, some pepsin #,; at the
time, that 'the term " present dynasty" might
allude to the Bourbon Family, and that an ex-
plarn.tion ought to have been sought, The ex
plan...aim), however, has since been given in
the .Thmiteur, whereto it has been distinctly
stated, that Spain belongs to the French dy-
nasty, or, in other words, the dynasty of Bun-
NAPARTL, to support which alone,, of course, the
French armies are kept in Spain, It will
be thus at once seen, that, the pretext set up by
some individuals, in• order to delude others into an
outcry for peace, that BUONAPARTE Would,' after
his disttstrous cathpaigu in Russia, be disposed to
negociate upon moderate terms, is wholly and en-
tirely without foundation. ..After the termination
of that campaign, and the destruction of his army,
lie recurs to the s;one terms he proposed" before he
conimenced it, thus proving that the sacrifice of
the lives of so many thousands of those who have
the misfortune to live under his rule, the shock,
given to his power, .and the, wreck of his military
reputation, have had no effect in lowe:ing his am-
bition, or abating his pride. Ile makes p.shew of
offeang terms which he knows it to be impossible
for this country to accept, determined only with
litre to give up those projects which, in the mad-
ness of his-ambition, he aims at our destruction.
Thwie who have been led by mistaken views to
join in Petitions for pence, roust at once be con-
vinced, by this tiliort note in the Illoniteitr, that
peace is-not to be obtained, except by surrendering
the country at the feet of BUONAPART,E—a pur-
pose which, we arc satisfied, the great majority of
those %%rho have raised an outcry for peace., never
had in their contemplation 4 •
