The House then proceeded to ballot ;for a
Chaplain to Congress. On the first bdilot the
Votes Were--
For 11r. Altison
Mr. Smith 73.
So the Rev-crew! Mr. ALLisoN Was chosen for
the House of Representarives,

We :have taken from The British Ahmitor of yes-
terday what the Editor has properly denominated as
an important docoruent. lie does not venture to
vouch for its authenticity ; but we conceive that
its internal evidence precludes all doubt. It is
obvious that it is tinctured by Popish superstition,
and that it too prestimpotonsly suggests altera-
tions in our Constitut ; but it contains
many striking' truths -and reasonable complaints
agAnst those attacks, upon fOreign Govern-
ments, which are inconsistent with the re-
spect which ought to be maintained bet ween
amicable States, It is es ident that the Sovereigns,
whose conduct is thus attached, would not tolerate
in their own dominions such acrimonious abuse
of the British Government, and surely it cannot,
as we have heretofore observed, be essential to
the freedom of the Press itt this Country,
that such defamation sod outrageous scurrili!y
against the Potentates of other Countries, which
tends to dfstroy all amicable relations, and in-
volve the Empire in new troubles, should pass
with unlimited toleration.

As the present day is the Anniversary of the
Birth-day, of the late Mr. Fox, The Morniug
Chronicle, with a consistency which would be
laudable, if it were influenced by a pure regard to
the memory of a man of great talents, and not
blended with acrimony, and an unjust attack
upon those who differed from him in political
principles, and on measures necessary tor the
safety of the Country, pronounces an enlogium on
his character. But though certainly possessed of
great abilities, Mr. Fox had no fixed political
character, and maintained opposite doctrines,
according to his situation, when in or out of
place. He -was an able Orator•, but a very
shallow Statettnan. He hat! no mark of political
wisdom that entitles hi►n even to the notice of
History. His want of sagacity was evident in
the unrefleCting zeal with which he hailed the,
French Revolution, and pronounced that dread•
In! event, which'unhinged the minds of men in
all countries, and gave such a shock to the very
frame of Society as will affect all Goveonment to I

the end of time, to be the most glorious triumph
of humsu wisdom and integrity. He even proposed
that we should, regardless of all other Szates,
enter into a strict 'Alliance with , the infamous
wretches, who, not only murdered their virtuous
Sovereign, but spread horror, carnage, and deso-
lation over Prance, and attempted the destruction
ofall other Countries. Yet, notwithstanding all the
lamentable proofs of the- rashness of his opinions,
and the danger of _ the measures which,
ing many subsequent periods of horror occurred,
Isis eyes were not opened, or he maintsioed doe-

lilies opposite to his real sentimentl. In the one case

he Was steak, and in the other a hypocrite, anti in
both there is nothing that can entitle his po'r,lie
charter to respect. The ilfornirig ClucJnicte sayb,

cial intercourse with British Colonial Ports, be

.5. That refers ter the Suppression of the Slave
Trade, be referred to a Committee.

6. That relates to the Message, on the subject
of the Revenue, be referred to a Committee of
Wa}s and Means.

These Resolutions were separately agreed to
without debate., excepting some conversation re-
specting that which relates to the Committee of
Commerce and Nlannfactories, in consequence of
a motion yesterday made by M. LITTIB, ot Mary-
lan►i, and tending to distribute the subjects of
Commerce and Manufactot ies to distinct Commit-
tees. The Resolutions, however, were agreed to
in the above shape, and, being reported to • the
llonse, were severally agreed to. Af►er which
Mr. TAYLOR again rose, and moved the following
Resolutions
