LANARKSIIIRE.

Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, in consequence
of information which he had received respecting cer-
tain legal proceedings between the parties concerned,
thought that it would be unfair to forward his
intended motion respecting the Lanarkshire Election.
Ibis Lordship therefore postponed till after the recess.
Tho LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND wished
to know, whether it was wished to put off the ballot
indefinitely, till after the Lords had taken up the
question alluded to?
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON said, as far as
he was concerned, he did not wish for any particular
.day. He only wished the House to be aware of the
circumstance, that it might be decided that Sir Alex.
Cochrane could not be a freeholder of the County of
Lanark, and therefore was a person not qualified to
sit in the House at all.

Mr. I3ANKES said, a Committee of tho House
had full powers to decide on a question of this nature,
without regarding any decision of the House of Lords.

SINKING FUND DILL ACT.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved, that the House then resolve itself into a Corn-
mittee on the Sinking Fund Bill Act.
Some additional clauses were proposed, the prin.
cipal of which were—
That it was expedient that the Commissioners for the Reduc-
tion of the National Debt should be allowed to accept offers
from the Commissioners and Trustees of the Waterloo Fund,
for the transfer of Long Annuities, on the books of the Dank of

England.
That all Annuities for Lives or for years, granted to such
Commissioners, shall be charged on the Fund fur the reduction
of the National Debt.

LICENCP.S.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee
on the Excise Licence Act, when it was agreed that
the additional duty of a. 6s. 6d. charged on persons
selling silver plate, shall not be payable by persons
selling gold and silver watches only.
The Ilouse adjourned at Ow &Cloak this Morning.

AMERICAN CONGRESS.

IN THE SENATE. FEBRUARY :3.
CONDUCT OR CFNERAL JACKSON.
Mr. Lacocie, from the Committee appointed in
pursuance of the Resolution of the Senate, of the 18th
of December last moved, " That the Message of the
President, and Documents relative to the Seminole
War, be referred to a Select Committee, who shall
have authority, if necessary, to send for persons and
papers ; that said Committee inquire relative to the
advance of the United Stara troor. into WC3t Fin-
rida; whether the Officers in Command at Pensa-
cola and St. Mark's, were amenable to, and under the
controul of, Spain ; and particularly what circum-
stances existed, to authorize or justify the Command-
ing-General in taking possession of those posts."
l'he Report takes a detailed view of the whole of
the military i,roceedings of General Jackson, in the
origin, progress, and conduct of the war against the
Seminole Indians, and his subsequent incursion into
the Spanish territory, and while it does justice to his
vigour condemns the means resorted to in rai,ing
volunteers. &c. contrary to the orders the Sccro
tary at War, and in violation of tlic principles of the
Constitution, and the tendency of which was to in-
volve the nation in a war without her consent, and
for reasons of his own, unconnected with his military
functions."
The Alickasuky towns were first taken and de-
stroyed ; the army marched upon St. Mark's, a feeble
Spanish garrison, which was surrendered without,
firing a gun," and then occupied it as an American,
post: the Spanish Commandant having, fiat by
humble entreaties, and then by a timid protest, en-,
deavoured to avert the measure. Here Alexander
Arbuthnot was found, taken prisoner, and put in
confinement, for the purpose, as it was stated by Ge-
neral Jackson, " of collecting evidence to establish
his guilt ;" and here also were taken two Indian,
Chiefs, one of whom pretended to possess the spirit
of prophecy ; they were hung without trial, and with
little ceremony.
This being done, and St. Mark's garrisoned by
American troops, the army pursued their match east-'!
ward to Suwaney River, on which they found a large
Indian village, which was consumed, and the Indians'
and negroes were dispersed; after which the army
returned to St. Mark's, bringing with them Robert
C. Ambrister, who had been taken prisoner on their
march to Suwaney. During the halt of the army
for a few days at St. Mark's, a general court-mar-
tial was called, Arbuthnot was arraigned, fouls&
guilty, sentenced to suffer death, and hung.
Ambrister was tried in like manner, found guilty,
and sentenced to whipping and confinement. Gene-.
ral Jackson annulled the sentence, and ordered him
to be shot; and this order was executed.
Speaking particularly of the invasion of the SpaH
nish territory, the Report thus proceeds;
The Treaty with Spain still existed ; it was made'
by the Constitution, the supreme law of the land,'
and had Spain violated, on her part, every article of
that Treaty, still the Executive of the United States,
'rho is bound to see the laws faithfully executed,'
Most, in good faith towards Spain, haVe observed on
our part that Treaty; and the obligation of preserv-
,iag the peace of the nation would have remained
'until the Treaty should have been revoked or annul-
led by Congress. Furnishing the Indians with arms,
ammunition, and supplies, were so many violations
treaty stipulations, and might have been consi-
-ed .good. c4ur- of war by Cp4ress ; but of this

P~~

tonal limits of Spain, and over a part of which ter-
ritory-those Indians had, at least, a qualified right
of possession and property. Under these orders, no
act of aggression on •the Spanish Authorities could
have been designed, nor can any such acts be justi-
fied. Spain, before she could become or be mad, a
party to this war, must have merged her neutral
character in that of the enemy, and clearly identi-
fied herself with the Seminole Indians, and by acts
of open and undisguised hostility to General Jack-
son, have opposed him by physical, not moral force.
Adverting to the plea of weakness on the part of
the Spanish Authorities, the Report says--
"-The time was when ere United States were also
weak ; she had no navy, she had no army. In those
days she was a strong advocate for neutral rights ;
anxious that free ships should make flee goods ; that
the neutral flag of the Republic should protect all
sailing under it; ever protesting against, and com-
plaining of, the violiition of her neutral rights by the
belligerents of Europe. But these times have passed
away, the nation has tried her strength in battle, and
found herself quite equal to the struggle—she has
had time to strengthen her army, and to increase
her navy ; her former weakness forgotten, her former
precepts abandoned, and feeling power and forget-
ting right, she walks over a prostrate Constitution to
conquer and subdue a miserable and feeble, though
neutral colony, whose very weakness (pleaded in ex-
cuse for the aggression), should have rather con:ai-
i tuted an appeal to a generous people for protection:'
In this unfavourable light, the Committee have too
much reason to fear, will the civilized world view
this transaction, and if sanctioned by the nation, they
regret to.say, there will be too much reason given
thus to consider it.

But there are still other reasons disclosed and facts
developed, that discover the motives cf the Com-
manding Officer, more fully than those above stated.
More than two months after this campaign had ended,
and the Seminole war was terminated, another expe-
dition is planned, and the laud and naval forces
of the United States ordered to execute it, which is to
reduce the fortress of St. Augustine, the capital of
East Florida. The reasons offered for this measure
arc stated in his orders to General Gaines, dated
Nashville, August 7, 1813, and are as follows :
" I have noted with attention Major Twigg's letter,
marked No, 5. 1 contemplated that the agents of
Spain, or the Officers of Fort St. Augustine. would
excite the Indians to hostility, and furnish them with
the means of war. It will be necessary to obtain evi-
dence substantiating this fact, and that thehostile In-
dians have been fed and furnished from the garrisca
of St. Augustine. This being obtained, should yoo •
deem your force sufficient, you will proceed to twee
and garrison Fort St.August:ne with American tr00p,..,
and hold the garrison prisoners until you hear from
the President of the United States ; or transport them
to Cuba, as in your judgment, under existing dream-
stances you may think best.
" Let it be remembered, that the proceedings car.
tied on by me, or this order, is not on the ground
that we are at war with Spain—it is on the ground
of self-preservation, bottomed on the broad basis of
the law of nature and of nations, and justified by
giving peace and .security to our frontiers; hence the
necessey of procuring evidence of the fact of the
agents or officers of Spain having excited the Indians
so continue the war against us, and that they Imo
Aseet.he.i. Este the IflßCrt.n3 ere 4,, he; vn the
11 war; this evidence being obtained, you will, yoar
force is sufficient, permit nothing to prevent you
from reducing Fort St. Augustine, except a positive
order from the Department of War.
Orders some time since have been given to the
Officer of the Ordnance commanding at Charleston,
to have in readiness a complete battle train, the num.
her and calibre cf the guns pointed out : I have no
doubt you will find them in readiness.
" I inclose you the Report of Captain Hc-aley, of
the na al force on that station. You will open a
correspondence with Commandaet-A. J. Dallas, to in-
sure his co-operation, provided it should be required."
lu this projected expeCion, it was, not thought
necessary or expedient to ult the Executive branch
of the Government ; the irder sent to General
was peremptory, on the' discovery being made dna
the Indians had been supplied with ammunition and
provisions, and excited to war; tla-..t blow was to be
struck, and nothing but an express order from the
Secretary of War was to prevent it. Long before this
period, the Commanding General had, by his letters
to the Secreta: y of NVar, declared the Seminole war
at an end, and after which not a single new
.act of
hostility had been committed. Yet, in this state of
peace, is a military Officer directed to ascertain cer-
tain facts, and on such facts being substantiated, to
make war on the neutral colony of a nation in peace
and amity with the United States ; thus disrega: ding
not only the Legislative and Executive Authorities
of the United States, but setting at nought the usages
of all civilized nations, by making war without a pre,
Minus and public declaration.
Were this nation subject to the will of a military
despot, and were there no constitutional barriers to
the inordinate ceercise of military ambition, more
than this could scarcely have been expected. It is
with pain the Committee are constrained to make these
observations; but wherethe vital principles of the con-
stitution have been violated, as they conceive, it
would be criminal in them, under the instructions
theyt have received from the Senate, and the duty
they owe to the nation, to be silent. Silence en their
part would have been considered an acquiescence in
those measures, and they tietr this precedent and es-
ample may be pleaded and folto wed on other occasions.
If these things ho admitted in the south, will they
not be considered as authorised in the North e Are
there not fortresses there to be won, and provinces to
be conquered, and are there not Indians in that quar-
ter likewise, and may not the officer in command
find means to prove that those Indians have been, or
hereafter may be, furnished by the British with arms
and munitions of war, and if so, may he not follow
the example set in the South, teld add something to
his stock of military fame, by redeeing the Brinfh
fortresses of Canada, and unfurling the star-spangled
banners of this nation pn the walls of Quebec ? •
We hope better things of the distinguished CNcer,
et the head of our mimes, and we had hoped better
things of the Het o of New Orleans, but we have
been disappointed ; and if the conduct of the of
in the south be sanctioned and approved by the
tion, we are free to declare that the reduction

'would present a much strongervclaim to public ap-
probation.
It is necessary here to remark, that a copy of the
order issued by General Jackson to General Gaines,
for the reduction of St. Augustine, was transmitted
to the Secretary at War, and a countermanding or-
der promptly dispatched to General Gainep; which
reached him before the military expedition 'Jet on toot
by General Jackson, had commenced; and thus was
suddenly arrested a military scheme as unconstitu-
tional as it was impolitic, and which might, as stated
by the Secretary of War, in his letter of the Bth day
of September, 1318, have involved this nation in a
war with all Europe.
In thus promptly prohibiting the unauthorized
seizure, at the will of a Commanding General, of
the possessions of a neighbouring nation with whom
the United States are at peace, the Committee recog-
nize that sacred regard to the rights of other nations,
which ought never to be departed from by the Exe-
cutive of a free country, and that vigilant attention
to the conduct of the Officers of the Army, which
is necessary to secure a due subordination of the Mi-
litary to the Civil Power.
They consider that on this occasion, the Executive
of the United. States has (by promptly restoring St.
Marks and Pensacola, wrested from Spain, in viola-
tion of instructions), pursued the course that the'
Constitution demanded, that all former precedents
justified, and to which the public sentiment gave a
decided approbation.
In reviewing the execution of Arbuthnot and Am-
brister, your committee cannot but consider it as an
unnecessary act of severity, on the part of the Com-
manding General, and A departure from that mild
and humane system towards prisoners, which, in all
our conflicts with savage or civilized nations, has
heretofore been considered, not only honourable to
the national character, but conformable to the dic-
tates of sound policy These prisoners were
subjects of Great Britain, with whom the United
States are at peace. Having left their country, and
united their fate with savages, with whom the United
States were at war, they forfeited their claim to the
protection of their own Government, and subjected
themselves to the same treatment, which might, ac-
cording to the practice and principles of the Ameri-
can Government, be extended towards those with
whom they were associated. No process of reasoning
can degrade them below the savages with whom
they were connected. As prisoners of war they were
entitled to claim from the American Government,
that protection, which the most savage of our foes
have uniformly experienced, when disarmed and in
our power. Humanity shudders at the idea of a
cold-blooded execution of prisoners disarmed, and in
the power of the conqueror. And although savages,
who respect no laws, may, wording to the strict
principles of the law of nations, have their own sys-
tem of cruelty inflicted on them, by way of retalia-
tion, it is believed, that such a system would de-
grade and debase the civilized nation, who could
resort to it, and is not only repugnant to the mild
principles of the Christian Religion, but a viola-
tion of those great principles of moral rectitude
which distinguish the American character. Reta•
Ration in the United States has always been con-
fined to specified acts of cruelty. It is not believed
that any attempt has ever been made to retaliate for
charges so general as those exhibited against Arbuth-
not and Ambristtr ; Viz. " Inciting the Indians to
War." During the revolutionary war, only two cases
occurred of persons seized for purposes of retaliation,
neither of whom were executed—the case of Asgill,
seized on account of the murder of Huddy ; and Go-
vernor Hamilton, of Vincennes, for specific acts of
cruelty also. Hamilton was confined for a short
time with rigour, and afterwards released. During
the late war, marked with some cases of cold-blooded
massacre on the part of our enemy, particularly the
one at the river Raisin, no such measure as retaliation
was resorted to.

The principle assumed by the Commanding Gene-
ral, that Arbuthnot and Ambrister, by uniting in war
against the United States, while we were at peace
with Great Britain, " became outlaws and pirates,
and liable to suffer death," is not recognized in any
code of national law. Nothing can be found in the
history of civilized nations which recognizes such a
principle, except a decree of the Executive Directory
of France, during their short career of folly and mad-
ness, which declares, that neutrals found on board
enemies' ships should be considered and treated as
pirates.
The Committee forbear to make any other remarks
on the violation of the usual and accustomed forms
in the punishment and conviction of Arbuthnot and
Ambrister, except that even Despots, claiming to
exercise absolute power, cannot with propriety vio-
late their own rules.
Having detailed a court-martial, for the purpose
of trying the prisoners, the Commanding General,
by his own authority, set aside the sentence of the
Court, and substituted for that sentence, his own
arbitrary will. In trials involving the life of an indi- 1
vidual, a strict adherence to form is in ordinary
cases considered the best security against oppression
'and injustice.
A departure from these forms is calculated to in-
flict a wound on the national character, and tarnish
the laurels so justly acquired by the Commanding
General by his former victories. Such are the facts
as they appear to the Committee, and such are the
views taken by them of the important subjects .re-
ferred to their consideration, and, together with their
report, they submit various depositions and docu-
ments, to which, and to the correspondence and do-
cuments relating to the Seminole_ war, communica-
ted to the Senate by the President of the United
States, at the last and present Session, they refer.

Monday se'nnight, an alarming fire. laroke out in
the extensive farm office of Mr. Tennant, at Girvan-
mains, near Edinburgh. Three men, at the imminent
risk of their lives, rushed into the stable, and suc-
ceeded in bringing out three of. six horses that were
in it. They instantly returned with the intention cf
saving the remaining three, but from the difficulty of
getting the horses to the door, and the falling-in of
the roof, they were forced to retire. The devourit
element had then extended to thel)arn, and to a large
hay-stack behind the stable; but the want of Water-
engines rendered every attempt to save that part of
the premises Already on fire impracticable.

Ministers were very nearly left in a minority last
night, on a motion of address to the PRINCE REGENT

The news of the assassination of the celebrated
KOTZEBUE is fully confirmed, by farther advice from
Manheim. The following is the accconnt which is
now given of this shocking occurrence. A student
at the Auberge of Weinberg entered the apartment
of KoTzeats took...him to task for bis opinions and
conduct, and, after a sSort dispute, drew a poignard
from his pocket and plunged it into the breast of the
unfortunate ICarzaana, who survived only about a
quarter of an hour, breathing his last in the arms of
his younger daughter, whom his cries brought into the
'room. The assassin walked tranquilly out of the house,
and, on gaining the street, fell upon his knees, and
raising his clasped hands to Heaven, exclaimed—
Vivat Teutonid. Afterwards rising, he gibbed him-
self several times on the spot—his wounds were not,
immediately, fatal; he was carried to the Auberge,
where he lodged, and every care was taken of him
which his state required ; but it is not supposed that
he will recover. The University diploma found upon
his person was in the name of Sand ; but he had
given his name at the Auberge as named Heinrich.
A billet which was found in his pocket, along with
another poignard, contained these words—et Sentence
of death of Augustus Kotzebue, executed March 23,
1819."—It is said that the young man is a native of
Winziedel, in Saxony.

The Danish Asiatic Company held a general Meet-
ing on the 11th ult. when the Directory laid before
:he Proprietors a Report of the management from
30th December, 1816, to the Si st December, 1818.
It appears from this Report, that although the losses
Iduring the war were very great, yet in consequence
of happier circumstances which have supervened,
the Company has found resources sufficient to fit out
one vessel to the East Indies, and another to China.
The funds of the Company have of late years been
considerably augmented by the improvement of the
Government Funds, and the sale of 800,000 Bank
Crowns, for which they procured from 90 to 92
