must OF REPRFSENfATIVEc, NOVEMBER 22.

MITCHF:LL ralie,l the attention of the Howe
for ftw moments, while he explained a circitm-
:lance particularly interesting to the tailors of the
Utaitr .1 States. The S• 11 1 ttion of the at, regulating
the merchant fervice. cc.,nr ained a regulation that
ve:Tels of 150 tons, or 'towards, whole crews confift
at ten men, should he ohl;ged to carry a medicine
:left. But the ino.i da• gtrous part of our commerce
:o the health of our faamen was that to the Wed
Indies, and it is well ktiown that the veffas engtged
in that trade ar:: under tga tons ; of cuurfe, the care
of the health of Itch L,nnen was entirely under the
difcrction of the merchant and captains; and, how.
ever diiireffing it might be, yet the Eta was lo that
we loft one-tenth of our tailors—nay, he believed,
une-ei,;ath in that particular trade. _

It was calculated that one•fixth of our feamen are
in an iadpient (fate of a tlifeafe, liable to break out
:•r the paffage, when they enter on board; of conrfe,
it vetfels ought to make a cautionary provition
againlf the probable confequences. The danger of
voya;es to the Welt ladies, and other places, WAS cr
!neat preclude the youth of the middle Hates
treat engaging is a maritime life, and the
'deficiency was generally made up of foreign lea-
melt ; two-fifths of the crews fr..nt thofe putts, in-
deed he believed three-fifths, were compofed of Eng-
Irifh, and Scotch ; fume of whom were natitra-
flied, but others of them connive to obtain proteftions
without this probationary Itcp, and perhaps it is'
owing in fume degree to this eircumtlance that we
are involved every war in tilde everlatling difputes
with Britain. While he would take effeCtual care of
the health of the feamen at lea, he would throw it
out for conlideration, whether the medicine chef
ought to be at the expense of the merchant or fea-
man ? It will be rccolleaed that feamen pay twenty
cents a voyagrs hofpital money, to form a fund for
their affidanee in ticknet% on fhore ; he did not under-
(land why they Ihradd not contribute to their own
fafety at pea; the captain generally performing the
part of the phylician in the latrer place, as the hofpi-
tal phyficians did in that first nicniioned. He mov-
ed the Committee olConinierce and Manufactures to,
enquire into die propriety of al::ring the law on this
point ; which was agreed to, and they may report
by bill or otherwife.
The Committee of Ways and Means, to whom was
referred the refolution of Dr. MITCHELL, relative to
the exempting from duty all Boots imported for the
ufe of Colleges and Univerfities, have reported againtt
its adoption. Philolophical Apparatus, which was
alfo included in the motion, is already exempted by
an exilling law.

the—z2d intl. there was read a fir( and fecund
time in the ifoufe of Repicrentatives of the United
::;tates, and ordered for a third reading on the aid,
" A Bill for the more effalual Piefervation of Peace
in the Ports and Haihnors of th 2 United Stares, and
in the waters under their jurifdi,!tion."—The follow-
ing provifions of this Bill are particularly applicable
to the veilels of foreign pnwo s :

The brig America was captured from the Spa-
niards by an Indigene privateer; the crew were mur-
dered, and the veiLl f:nt into Port de Pair, where
fhe was condemned. A declaration of war has been
made by the Government of.klayti againa the Spa-
niards.

The account publifhed, rays the Charleflon Cou-
rier, on the 6th inftant, ref-peeling the infamous mur•
der of Mr. TATE, mate of the armed (hip Pilgrim,
of Philadelphia, at Cape Francois, was in finale re-
fpeits incor ea. The following particulars are tor-
nilhed by a Gentleman who was an eye wieners of
tke whole tranfaaion :—lt would teem that two un-
fortunate Frenchmen, together with fome mulattoes,
had been introduced on board this veffel (probably
with the knowledge of the officers), and fecurely
flowed away under deck with the cargo. By lome
means, information reached Ca RISTOPHE, that they
were concealed on board. Mr. Lv NCH, the Stye' •
cargo, and Captain Gia SON, being on thore,
declar-
ed their ignorance of any perfim's !suing concealed
on board. The Commander in Chi•tf iramediatey
&Matched a guard of foldiers on hoard the ship, who
tare up the deck over the heads of the unt,rtunate
fugitives, and, together with Mr. TATE (he being
the Commanding Officer then on hoard), forced
them on Chore. On their landing upon the wharf,
the unfortunate American raw hilt too plainly the
fate which awaited him, and, addreling himfelf to
his amazed countrymen, he exclaimed, " Ameri-
cans ! will you fee m: thus dragged to execution
like a Jog, and no one Ilep tier at dto affect my in-
nocence P' " Ycs," raid one (a Mr. SMITH, Super-
cargo of a velfel from Baltimioie) " I will fpeak foe
you !" Inftantly a fentinel was o. duce! to run him
through with his bayonet ; but i.e efcaped by fpring-
ing into his boat and indantly pufhing off. The pri-
loners were then led up to the public teaks Mr.
Tars and the two. Frenchmen had halters placed
about their necks, mounted this temporary fcall.,ld,
and were precipitately launched into eternity ! 'the
arms of die Frenchmen were pinioned, but thole of
Mr. Tar r. were left untied, and in his flruggles he
repeatedly caught hold of the cord by which he was
fufpended, and entirely removed it from his throat,
the cord palling round his chin and the back of his
neck ;in this manner lie expired ! As he mounted
the ladder, he laid, " Americans! Americans ! I
die this ignominious death, fur duly executing my
orders!" The feelings of the Americans on this oc-
cation may be more readily felt than defcribed.
