MIRANDA.J XPEDITION.
ritom THi NATI,NAL INTELLIGINCER.

The two fl-ufes of Congt els brought their affirms
to a dole on Monday night at about eleven o'clock,
when an adj-tunment took place to the &II Monday
in December.
That boliners which excited moll attention, ming-
led with perhaps becoming warmth, was the peelen-
tatton by Mr. Q2iney, of-two memorials, one from
Samuel G. Ogden, the other from William Smith,
of the City of New York.

The mem-tisk ate very long, and give a minute
detail -tf the ciirliniflances *fledged to have attended
• the expediti.n of Miranda, acknowledged the parti-
cipation of the meniorialifts in the enterprifc ; —and
declate it to have been their impreftion that the ex-
pedi!ion was countenanced by the implied fanaimi of.
11,e Piefidvnt and Secretary of Stare. The memo-
tialsils further complain of the unjuft and illegal
proceedings of the Circuit Court of New York. The
memorials are couched in language, uneornmo'aly
acrimonious, and afcrihe to the public agents un-
worthy and impure motives. After the reading Of
there memorials, an interefling debate enfued.
Mr. Lynn reprobated the ftyle and contents of the
petition, and moved that the petitionersihould have
leave to withdraw their petition.
Mr. Williams, of New York, inveighed in terms
of firong indignation, again ft the nature ind tendency
of the attettipt. He pronounced it unprecedented,
while a profccation was reram fairs, for the accitfcd
to come forward, and attempt to wreft their cafe
from a legal tribunal ; declared his total difbeliereif
the charges criminating the Executive, and fpoke
with the greatell emphafis of the enottnity of the
efforts of men thus uated m diffeminate fufpicion
with regard to the motives of the Executive Govern-
ment, and laid it was ridiculous to imagine that any
legiflative inquiry Gould be Made on the very IA day
of the Se Pion.
Mr. Quincy role to explain. He raid he deemed
it his duty to prefcnt the memorials, difelaimed all
intention to can a cenfure on the adminiftration ;
but he thought, confidering the fatt alledged by the
memorialifts, it was proper to Make inquiry;--and
added, that from circurnflanres known to Gentlemen
on the floor. the Executive had been advifed of the
fitting nut of the Leander time enough to have pre.
vented her failing.
Mr. Quincy was followed by Mcffrs. Smilie and
Rhea, or renneffee, who delivered opinions nearly the
fame with thofe of Mr. Williams.
Mr. Jackfon then rote, and pronounced the memo-
rials a tiffue of falfehoods and calumnies, bafelf in-
tended to defame the Government, and denied that
the Executive had poffeffed the information Rated by
Mr. Quincy.
After a few remarks from Metrs. Mumford. Me-
ters, and Bidwell, Mr. Early offered the following re-
folution :
Refolved, That the chines contained In the memorials of S.
G. Ogden and William Smith, are, in the opinion of this Houk,
uofupported by any evidence which to the raft degree criminate,

rials appear to have been prefented at a time and under elecum.

fluence or prejudice a civic now depending in a legal tribunal of

cane.
Mr. Clark required the previous quellinn, which
was taken by yeas and nays, as follows : " Shall the
main queftion be now put r—Yeas, 74—Nays, is.
The quellion was afterwards carried by 7o to is.

About three years ago, a man of the name of Gan.
refiding at Kirkfiall, near Leeds, infcrted an
Advertilement in the Leeds and other papers, in
which, in the moil folemn manner he declared, that
he was commiffioned by Heaven to announce, that
on Whit-Monday, in the year 'W64 the world would
be defiroyed by torrents of fire. Monday fe'nnight
was the ow/a/day. The difetples of Saint George all
awaited the event with deep anxiety; tie day came;
the Sun as his riling looked threatening; the weather
was fable, the duets crowded, the air drongly
pregnated wish dell, perhaps of brinollone ; the night
approached, and the fun fet.'as cabal. Thus ended
this everifui clay, adding another to theisumeroos in-
fiances of prophetic del,,Ann, for which the prefent
age has been fo peculiarly didingoiflted.
