WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY

T'i E VAT6.—A refoluti,m wa, laid re the
Senate ye ,erday, for invelting ii.e Pi ell.!etit of the
Umted Stages with din.retionary power to con
firma and equip, and to employ for letsice on the
Mitliaippi, or ellewhere, a nnmher of gun boats of
fuch a confittinion as may be deemed neceirary
for purpoks, and calculated for cruilers
on our fondle, n conii. The propoiltion under.
went vat kits modifications, the number of vetlels
propofed being eight, ten, and at length fifteen ;
the Committee to whom this was referred reported
in favour of fifteen, and an appropriation of so,ooo
dollars for the fery ice. The fubjed was again dif-
cuired this day, and the meafure paired the fenate.
FEB. st —Lnutslays.—The Order of the Day
being called far on Mr. Ross's refolutions, refpeCt-
ing the Milliffippi,
Mr. BRADLEY moved to poapone the further
confideration of there refolutions until Wednefday
next. His reafnn for the motion was, that he
wiated to make a Report upon a fisbje& of a con-
fidential nature.
Mefrrs. Moss us and DitYrom were cppnfed to
the motion. They could no: cow-elite Mr. B.'s
Report could be a fufficient teafan for a palipone.
mein. Every moment was important to the in-
tereas of the United States, and they ihould there-
fore vote againa the motion.
The queaion for a poaponement was taken and
carried.
Mr. Bsan&.ty then moved that the doors be
doled. The galleries and lobby wore cleared ;
and the doors remained doled.
I'rs. sc.—Agreeable to the Order of the Day,
the Senate took into confiticration the refolutions
fubmitted on the ifth infant, repetting the indif-
putable right of the United States to the free oavi-
gation of the River Miffiffippi, and a motion was
made by Mr. to amend them by
flaking out from the word Refolind, and inferting
the following:
G‘ Refolved," That the Prefident of the United
States be, and is hereby authorifed, whenever he'
!hall judge it expedient, to require of the Execu-
tives of the feveral States to take effectual mea-
fnres to organize, arat,And equip, according to
law, and hold in readinefs to march at a moment's
warning, eighty thonfind effeaire militia, officers
included.
Refclved, that the Prefident may, if he judges
it expedient. anthorife the Executives of the feve-
ral States to accept, as part of the detachment
aforefa id, any corps of Volunteers ; who (hall con-
tinue in fervice for fueh time not exceeding
months, and perform fuch Cervices as (hall be pre-
fcribed by law. ,
Refolved. That dollars be appropriated
for paying and fubfifting filch part of the troops
oforefaid, whore adnal ferrices may be wanted,
and for defraying Inch other expences, as, during
the Recefs of Cowers, the Prefident may deem
fe-c
*sectary for the ority of the territory of the
United States.
Rofolved, That dollars be appopiated
for ending. at Inch place or places on weßern
waters as the Prefident may judge 140 S Proper,
one or more arfenals.
Boson, Mateo 7.—Letters from Wafkingion
mention, that it was probable the Refolutions of
Mr. Ross, with foam trifling amendments, would
be carried the Senate, by the calling vote of the
Vice Prefident.
coatradidion to the above, we underaand a
ktter was received in town on Saturday evening
from Wansington, Rating, "That the Refolutions
of Mr. BRACIMIRIDG/ (vide Congreffional head)
which fucceeded thofe ofMr. Ross, would probably
be adopted by both Houfes of Congrefs.'
Gus Boars.—The Bill which originated in the
Hook of Reprefentatives, dinging the Prefident
to build or purchafe four veffels of war, to carry
opt esceeding t 6 guns each, and which came back
from the Senate with an amendment, was taken•
up in the Hoak of Reprefentatives. on Monday,
the aBth of February. The amendment propofed
by the Senate, wasto authorize the Senate to cattle
fifteen gun boats to be buil: for the fervice of the
United States.
Mr. GLISWOLD wiffied to be informed by the
Chairman of the Seled Committee, to whom the
amendment had been referred, what was the ob.
jell of thefe gun boats, and to what ufe they were
to be applied ? The original objea of the Bill was
to provide for the Mediterranean fervice ; but he
could noe conceive that thefe gun boats could be
of any tale in that fervice.
Mr. S. SMITPI replied. that they were not in•
tended for the Mediterranean. but were defigned
law the defence of our internal commerce.
Upon the third 'lading. when the final queftion
was about to be pot.
Mr. GODDLID raft and Paid, he was really at a
loft to vote opon the quefion, unlefs he could ob.
taro fore information as to the objet to which
thofe boats were to be applied. He laid there
had beenzbeelic bufinefs anti private bufinefs be-
fore the • but this teemed to partake of the
charader of both. It was sifted upon publicly. i
and yet the übjea teemed to be a fecret, unleli gen.l
tlensen were expeded to difcover it by intuition.—
He had Po objeltion to appropriate money for the
Poroufei provided he could be convinced that any
public fervice required it.
Mr. DAM• prefumed that he underflood the
objea. It could not be the Mediterranean fer-
vice ; fuch boats would not anfwer the purpofe :
It could not be for the lervice of the revenue offi-
cers, becaufe the cutters in common ufe were much
better. He concluded, therefore, that they mull
be defined for the Miflillippi. Ile did not know
that the commerce of that river could drialy be
laid to to internal. But he prefusned the boats
mull be sleAgned for that objea. As he was in
favour of any meafure which looked like a deter.
rnination to prone the commerce of that quarter.
he Ihould vote for the bill as amended, and he
hoped that a liberal coonrultion would be given
to the term Boati. fo that vefrels of a lire fulEcient
to ank.ver the purpolc might be ptocanse.-44004

The PlaintitT, Mr. Nadin, is at prefent the De-
puty Cotittable of Manchefler ; the Defendant,
Mr. Thomas hattre, a public aceomptant of the

ation were laid at toool. The Jury gave a verdift
againft the Defendant, Damages tol.
Our Affices did not terminate till Wednefday
fe'nnight, there having been no left than ninety-
! four caufes entered for trial at NO Priam, many of

tree, near Liverpool; William Elfworth, for bur-
elarioufly breaking the dwelling houfe of Agnes
neap, of Burnley ; and George Short, for (Jeep.
ftealing, at Liverpool.
On palling the awful fentence of the law up
lon Qxigley, Rice, and Ward, the Judge obferved,
that owing to their barbarous condud towards the
profecutor and his wife at the time they committed
! the burglary, if any perfon had been convifted of
murder at thefe Affixes, he fhould have ordered
them for execution at the fame time.
The number of perfons tried for mandaughter
lat Affixes, it is much to he lamented, has
I iscreafed in a rapid degree within a few years:
nine were tried here laft week, four of whom were
1 conviaed. Two of the latter were burnt in the
I hand, in order, as was emphatically obferved by
the Judge (Sir GILIS Roma), that they might
1 carry back with them into that part of the county
from whence they came, thole ignominious marks
which would (hew the deteßation in which their
I condua was held by the Court .
On the trial of Thomas Fielding, for the above
offence, his Lordllip, in the Itrongeft terms, ex-
, preffed his abhorrence of the inhuman manner of
; fighting in the fouthern part of this county. He
I obferved, that if a man has brought his antagonist
to the ground, and then kicks or strikes him, whilft
the vanquifhed perfon lies in a Rate of infenfibility,
fuch an adt of brutal ferocity conititutes the crime
of murder; and, upon conviction, he would not
hefitate to leave the perfon for execution, without
the leaft regret.

feited and taken to the watch-lioufe. The prifoner
acknowledged hi. fault, and waked to a& pardon
