highly iTtrent matters to communicate.
The fe having gratified his wifhes, he ob.

recently transferred Rock, putrefied by his father to
a large amount in the American Funds, and in con-
requence propofed the following Refolution t

f rays that Paper) was unrefervedly exprefred, that
loch a Rep, at this time. was improper. Not a fingle
Member fupported the Refolution, but all cenfured
its imprudence. The general opinion was, that if
perfifled in by the mover, the doors fhould be in-
fiantly opened, and the refolntions rceeed in public."
Mr. Lyon ihtllmithdrew the relolution, and the
galleries were opened, under the underßanding that
all fecrecy was at an end.
On the 16th, Mr. Dana offered a refolini m, "That
• the Committee on Aggreffions be inftrutted to inquire
into the expediency of providing for the employment
of an adequate force to compel the immediate depar-
tore of fuck armed foreign 'reels, as may be found
remaining within the waters of the United Statkx, in
defiance of any interdictory Proclamation duly ined
by the Prefident of the United States, and that the
Committee have leave to report by bill or otherwife."
This propofition was negatived, as was another
propofition, fringing from the fame motives, which
was brought forward by Mr. Qincey, namely—
', That inquiry fhould be made into the circumfian-
cet of the attack upon the Chefapeak, the caufes al:
lisped for fueh attack, and the means ufed to repel
it.'
After the latter motion had been related, Mr.
qtrince-; again offered it in a modified form, but it
was met with a fimilar negative. . ,

Our Readers may recollea that we Bated form
-time ago, on the authority of a letter from Amt-
ries, that there were people in that country who
were anxious to iniolve Britain and America
is a war, for the purpofe of avoiding the pliant
of their debts to their Britifh creditors. We little
ezpeatch however, that while the two countries
tfliould remain at peace, any perfon could hare been
found who would venture to propofe in Congrefs the
pat Eng of loch a law. But fuch a motion has been
made, and we hope will produce its proper effelt on
our merchants. Go A animal fentiment was unre.
feiredly expreffed,• that filch a hp •T Tins lists

may come, and we repeat what we have before Bated,
that many people in America, who revel in luxuries
purchafed by property belonging to &kith mu.,
chanty, are doing every thing in their power to fo-went a quarrel between the two countries.

mouth. Beforelhe left Gibraltar, General Moons
lbad'arrived there from Sicily with Soo° troops. That
Garrifon may therefore be confidered in a Rate of
tafety.
Getter* Mower, after he reached Gibraltar, pro-
ceeded in the Commaa frigate to the mouth of the
Tagus, and after remaining a day with Sir SIDIIIT
SMITH, returned again to Gibraltar.
French troops had reached Cadiz. Whether the
liege of Gibraltar or the garrifoning of Spain, be
their °Nee, it will loon appear. General Sir Huori
DALIIIMPLI who commands at Gibraltar, has taken
every precaution for the fecurity of his important
charge.
We learn by the packet that the troops from Malta
had bun fent to Sicily, where the troops from Alex-
andria have alto arrived, and that the Sicilian troops
have been transferred to Matta. From this we may
infer that there is no intention at prefent of abandon•
ing Sicily; and this too gives colour to the opinion,
that General Svaacea's Expedition, which went
down channel on Tuefday lat•'. with Admiral Sir C.
Corrow, is intended for the Mediterranean, to 84
