Lord S EAWELL, in the Chair,
. The following Refolutloni were unabintoufly entered into, viz.
That the propofed Canal is unneceffary, as the Corn nnnieation
betiveen London, Portfmouth, Southampton, and Winchelter by
Seals, in the opluionsif this. Meeting, better calculated to anfirer
the purpofes both of Governinent and of individuals fur the fol-
lowing feafons, viz :
Becaufe, fuppoling the advantages attending an intended com•
ntunication over that by lea to be as great as the promoters of the
Canal cuprite it Mould appear, that a lola of fo confiderable a part
of Our Cusiting Trade and cunkquently of the ourfery of our
feamen, efpeetally too st a moment when our foreign commerce
prohibited throughout the world, wjil,rtiore than counterbalance
any advantage which may be espeded from Coals, Articles of „.
Commerce, and Naval Stores, being cockeyed in barges in pre- . •
ferenie to Mips.
Becaufe the propofed Canal muft be very frequently Mort of
water, inafmuch is there Is already fo little water in the River .
Way, on clot line of the propofed Canal between the Baangftake
Costal and Alton; that.there is already !aria:ion to drive the
MU on it in the fumnier months, which are now obliged to.eraafe
`grinding on that account,.confequently there will beioo little
water for the Canal.
Beeatife the Line of the propofed Canal between Alton and
Ropier is through a porous foil which will never hold water, in a
Country where there is a great feareity of water already, fo +noel
hi, that tbe,caule are obliged in dry fummers to be driven fi.nr or
five miles for water, from the Parithes of EaR Tiftaif, Newton
Valente, farringdon, ace. to Alton, and the water to fill the Canal
for five mile! trim Akon to Rotherfieid, muff be taken from the
River Wey. at Alton, where there is already too little water.
Becaufe the Navigation of the Canal will be continually impeded
by frott io eta winter months, during which feafon of the year
alone can the inland carriage of public itore* be fuppofed to be
mare advantageous to the public, than that by lea, coureqbently
the benefits pretended to be held out ,to the public by the Canal,
will prove to be falla•cioun
-rev this Meeting is therefore of opinion that the prefent
entrnui.ication by water coaftways, will be the molt certain, the
molt sterol, generally the quickeft, and the molt te be de-
pended no. •
TMs Meeting is atf6 of opinion that another material reafon
why this Canal would not be of public utility is, that there is a
hill between Rotherfteld Park and Lyderhill Farm, upwards of
two miles broad, tvhert the Canal is not intended to be tut, and
where the Proprietors propote to have an Iron Railway over the
hill, to that perfons trading bn this Canal will be put to great
trouble and loconeentence of twice loading and unloading .their
goods at no vet), trifling expence and rifk of damage and plunder,
which will certainly prevent the Canal from being much sled, and
from being of that publie and general utility which has bei:ti held
forth to the Country.
That this Meeting is of Optnion that a great numbef of Milk
and a large quantity of dry and water Meadow Land,' fo oh-
'loony and imperiuully neceffary to the agriculture ofthe country
on the iutended line, will be deftroyed by this Canal.
That this Meeting I. of opinion, that the Public would not be
at all benefited by this Canal; whereas the extreme Iniury to nu-
merous individuals is certain ; and it appears that force any of the
owners or occupiers of land upon the propofed line, have either •
contented or fubfcribed to its completion, confequently that the
Canal will be of a.very unneeeltary and cruel violation of pri-
iate Property, without any profped• of proportionate public
benefit.
That this Meeting is further of opinion, That the freeholds and
propery of a great body of individuals ought not to be entered on
and cut to piece. agalnft the content of the proprietors, merely
to anfwer tbe .porpofes of gain of a few perfoos ; and on thrfe
grounds this Meeting is determined to raft and oppufe the
paling of the Bill for the propoled Canal by every lawful means.
That Committees be appointed for conduding the laid Oppofi -

t:ovss 01_11,11LIUNTATIVES, T6OI3DAT, OCT 3e.

Alter tranfafting fome bufinefs of minor import.
ce, the Houfe, on the motion of Mr Dalcon, re-
',red itfelf into a Committee of the whole on the
" rof the Union. When Mr. Dawfun offered the
t• 11 wing Refolutions for confederation :
fulved—That fo much of the Mclrage of che Prtildent of the
1,11 tt.f States as relates to aggreflons committed within our
and Waters by Foreign armed yards, to the violations of
jurifdietion acid meafures neccffary for the protettion of our
13.1 Es and Harbours, be referred to a Scled Committee.

ROOlved—That fo much of the fald Melfage as relates to the
ci.,;;:tion of our Maritime rights, and to impofitions on and inter-*
'to our neutral trade, be referred to the Committee of
Co itmeree and Manual:tura.

fOl ved—T bat fo much of the laid Mefrage as relates to the
rnrifes againft the public peace and mows of preventing the
and punidslag the authors, be referred to a Stied Com-
miace.

Mr. Qyrricy thought the t a refolution embraced
01,jeas unconnected with each other, and objefts of
ratgnitude fufficient to warrant a feparation of them.
•i'he fn t part of the refolution relates to aggreffions
committed in our pals and waters. The mot' ma-
?rim' obit& contained' in the Prefident's ineffage,
I..id Mr. Qoincy, leas relation to an attack upon one
ni our veffeTs by unarmed fhip of a particular nation,
IVA ell the other eircumfiances mentioned are Rated
rr:rely as aggravatir'ns of this attack. He therefore
tiihtnitted, with deference to the Committee, the
propriety of referring whatever relates to the attack
11 the Cbefapeak to a Selea Committee, and enter.
it g into a feparate refolution for the appointment of
Cap anittee to confider what may be need-
i try for the defence of our ports and hat bouts. Upon
'hit view of the fubjelt, he would offer an amend-
ti•ent,sp the refolution in quelling. He wifhed to
add after the word " Refolved," " That fo much
f the =Mtge of the Prefident of the United States
IS relates to the attack made on the frigate Chefs-
pat be referred-to a Seidl Committee, and that the
,:•,mmittee be infiruaed to enquire into the circum-
:lances of that attack, the cedes affigoed for mating
it, and the manner in which it.was repelled, and to
rcpnrt the refult of fuck enquiries in detail to this
_ _

Mr. Dawson nbferved, that the Gentleman from
Marachuretts had millaken his intention, in offering
•he refolution under confederation. He did not mean
' r proporee Committee to enquire pirticularly into
the attack on the Chefapeak. Such an inquiry would
•st prefent be premature. When the time arrived for
taking up this fubjeit, he fhould be as ready as the
Gentleman from Maffachufett's, or any other Gen-
limas, to enter upon it. Mr. D. read that part of
the Wage of the Prefident that has reference to
this affair, and asked the Members of the Committee
it it would not be altogether premature to go into
this fubjee before the Houle received the information
saich the Prefident of the United States has laid he
spats thorny to be able to lay before them ? His
bieit was to make the ground of reference as gene-
ral as poffible.
Mr. Q/INCY raid that the Gentleman from North
Carolina ad anted what was his objeit in making
this motion ? He would anfwer that he was to have
the whole detail of the affair of the Chefapeak laid
on our tables: It was asked if he meant to juflify
the 13: itifh ? He knew not why this queffinn fhould
he put. His motion was a plain oae. Hi► princi.
pies and feelings were as properly American as thole
of any Gentleman. He wifhed to gain rafts, and to
.:brain thefe he thn ught it belt to fix on tingle objects,
2nd not to ez end our views over the whole horizon.
II reference to what had fallen Flom the Gentleman
f:om Virginia, what he had propofed wt..uld have
o• thing to do with our negneiati•ms abroad. No ex•
preffion of the opinion of this Houle is required.—
All that is asked is, that the Committee (ball condi
a detail of faits. The Committee will not make their
report until they think proper, but the inquiry ought
to be inffituted. Suppofe our difpure with Great
Britain lhould be amicably fettled, would not this
inquiry be neceffary ? Would you not inquire into
he caofes which led to the attack ? He confidered
the difpute as being not only between us and Britain
but between us and France. At any rate he wanted
the faas, and when they were before the Houle, a
.•'•rresl judgment might be formed of the affair.--
The honour of the nation was concerned to know,
whether a proper degree of refiflance had been made
.0 repel the attack of the Britifh, by our Officers—if
not, the opinion of this Houk ought to be exprefFed
on the occafion.

Mr. Er.crov alluded to that part which ailes for
the manner in which the attack was repelled. Every
roan, woman, and chid, in the United States, knew
'hat no refinance was made. If he were to vote for
the ref.lution, he fhould with the word " received"
to be ufed innead of the word repelled.
Mr. Smuts faid, there was one thing which the
Gentleman from Maffachufetts hirofelf, -on reflation,
own think improper—that was, that pert of the mo-
tion which relates to the manner in which the attack
was repelled. He underfiood the commander of the
chefapeak was rime. on trial, and he hoped this
Hoofe would not do any aft which might hate an
it floence on that trial. He had no doubt that before
ibis Wind's was gone through, there would be com-
plete information before the Houle: •We thould
;roost whether the feamen taken from the Chefapeak
were really Britith fubjeas or Amerieati Citizens.
The amendment was rejefted withoura divas.
The Refolutions being gone through, a motion
was made for the Committee to rife, which being
agreed to, the Speaker refumed the Chair, and the
Houle immediately took up the refolutions, and
agreed to them unanimoufly.

" The Underfithed, his ghtletly's Principal Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs. has tecerve4 his
Majedy's commands to acquaint Mr. Monroe, that
the French Government having dined certain orders,
which, in violation of the ufages of war, purport to
ohibit the commerce of all neutral. nations with
his Majefly's dominions, and alto to prevent fuch
patilns from trading with any other country in any
articles, the growth, produce, ilk manufaCture of his
Maietty's dominions. And the laid Government
t,a•iing alto taken upon itfelf to dealare all his Ma-

jelly's dominions to be in a Rate of blockade, at a '
time when the fleets of France and her Allies are •
themfelves confined within their own port', by the
ftmerior valour and difcipline of the Britifh Navy.
" Such attempts on the part of the enemy, giving
to his Majtfty an unquellionable right of retaliation,
and warranting his Majefy in enforcing the fame
prohibition of all commerce with France, which that
Power vainly hopes to effea againfl the commerce of
his Majetty's fubjerfts, a prohibition which the rime-
riority of his Majefty's naval forces might enable
him to fupport, by alually inverting the ports and
coaas of the enemy with numerous fquadrone and
coaflers, to as to make the entrance or approach
thereto manifeftly dangerous.
His Majeßy, though unwilling to follow the
example of his enemies, by proceeding to an extre.
miry Co difireffing to all nations not engaged in the
war, and carrying on their accuttomed trade ; yet
feels himfelf bound, by a due regard to the juft de.
fence of the rights and interefis of his people not to
Infer fuch meafures to be taken by the enemy, with.
out taking Tome Reps on his parr, to refirain this vio-
lence, and to return upon them the evil of their own
injultice.
" Mr. Munroe is, therefore, requefted to apprize
the American Coati's and merchants reading in
England, that his Majefty has therefore judged it
expedient to order that no vacl thall be permitted
to trade from one port to another. b )th which
ports (ball belong to, or be in poreffion of France or
her allies, or (hall be fo far under their controut,
as that Britifh eeffels may not freely trade thereat ;
and that the Commanders of his Majefty's.fhipi of
war and privateers have been inftru&ed- to yinrll
every neutral vac!, coming from any fuch port, and
defined to another fuch port, to difcontinue her
voyage, and not to proceed to any fuch port; and every
veffel, after being fo warned, or any veflel coming
from any fuch port, after a reafonable time thall have
been afforded for receiving information of this his
Majetty's order, which thall be found to proceed to
another arch port, thall be captured and brought in,
and, together with her cargo, (hall be condemned as
lawful prize; and that from this lime all the mu-
Cures authorifed by the law of nations, and the re-
fperftive treaties between his Majzfly and the different
neutral powers, will be adopted, and executed with
refpeit to veffels atteenpting to violate the faid order
after this notice. (Signed) " nowrcx.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE SPANISH nRDER, REFERRED

TO IN THE SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT:
TRA.NSLATION.

" By the greateft outrage again(' humanity and
againti policy, Spain was forced by Great Bietain to
take part in the prefent war. This power has ex.
ercifed over the fea and over the commerce of the
world an exclufive dominion.

*, Her flumes-, us faelories, dilTeminated through all
countries, are like fponges, which imbibe the riches of
thole (countries) without having them more than
the appearance of mercantile liberty. From this
maritime and commercial defpotifm, England de-
rives immenfe refources for carrying on a war whofe
eisjed is to dadroy the commerce which belongs to
each State, from its induflry and foliation. Experi.
ence has proved, that the morality of the &lath
Cabinet has nss hefitation as to the means, fo long as
they lead to the accompliffithent of its detigns; and
whilil this Power can continue to enjoy the fruits
of its im,neflfe traffic, humanity will groan under the
weight of a defolating war. To put an end to this,
and to attain a folid peace, the Emperor of the
French and Kir.g of Italy UN:A a decree on the 2111
of November la!), in which, adopting the principle
of repass's, the blockade of the Bt itith Hes is deter-
mined on; and his Amb:tiTador, his Excellency
Francis de Beauharnois, Grand Dignitary of the
Order of the Iron Crown, of the Legion r f Honour,
&c. having communicated this (Jecree) to the
King our Mailer ; and his Majefly being defirous to
co operate by means fanilioned by the rights of reel.
procity, has been pleafed to authorize his moll Se
iene Highnefs the Prince Generaliffimo of the Marine
to Are a circular of the following tenor :
•• As loon as England committed the horrible out-
rage of intercepting the vetch of the Royal Marine,
infidioutly violating the good faith with which peace
allures individual property and the rights of nations,
his Majetly confidered himfelf in a hate of war with
