MIR. Gregg, after fcveral PREDATORY OBJ
fervations, moved the following refolurion
which was read and ordered to lie on the
tab!e-refolved that a committee be ap-
pointed to enquire into the expediency Of
amending the act, entitled, /" An aA, fup-
Elementary to, and to amend the act, enti-
tied, An act t o efablih al uniform rule
of naturalization, and to repeal the law
heretofore paGed on hat fubje6t, 10 as t

United States, prior to the 10th day Of
January, 1895, and who have continued to
refide as aforefaid, to become citizens Of
the United States.''
The Houfe refolved itfelf into a com.
mittee ofthe whole on a r~efolution report
ed by the committee Of Ways and Means,
that it would be ~inexpedient to repeal the
act, entitled" An act, to provide for the
valuation of lands and dwelling houfes, and
the enumeration of naves-This relolution
produced a lengthy debate, rather of a
defultory nature, in which Menrs. Grit
void, Rayard, Dana, Champlin, Cooper,
Nicholas, Harper, Varnum and Gailat!n,
took part.
The committee rofe without coming
to ADDICTION on this refolution and were
then refuled liberty to fit again.-A refo-
luton having the repeal of that law for its
objea was referred t. the committee of
Ways and Means with in%truStions to re-
port a bill for that purpoie.

Extract of a letter from capt. Whitney,
of the ihip Hiram, to a gentleman Of
this town, dated Fort-Royal (A1arti-
niqae) Nov. IS.
!" [ arrived here the I 9Th init. after be-
ing twice taken and re-taken and one
hundred and two days at lea. | left Lii
verpooi the I'd Of AuguA, and on the 18th
September, being in long. S., and LAT.
20, | was taken by a French iloop Of war
and all my people taken Cut, except Har-
ry,* one man, and a boy of twelve years
ofage, an apprentice Of mine and man
ned with ten Frenchmen, and ordered for
Cayenne. I being determined on an at
tempt to retake my hip, on fra difoo-
vering her to be French, loaded my pit
tolls and hid them in a crate Of ware, which
had | not done, | hould have loft them,
for NO lefs than three different times were
my trunks fearched for them, as were the
cabin and all parts of the fhip, which they
could come at; they found my ainmuni-
ton, but my pifols were %iecure; and
iuch was their, extreme caution, that
they would rot allow any man to be off
deck but eat, drank and lept on deck.
Finding that | could not obtain any adj
vantage of them, bp getting them below,
| determined TO attack them openly by
daylight. Therefore at about 4 O'Clock
on the fourth day after being taken, | fe-
cured my piaols in my waifband, having
previouly told Harry and my man, my
determination, and directed them to have
a couple of h~andfpikes where they could
clafp their hand upon them man infant,
and when they faw me begin to come to
my afiftance.
The prize matter was now aleep on the
weather hencoop, his mate at the wheel, &
the crew on different parts of the main
deck. Under thefe circumstances / made
the attempt by frf knocking down the
mate at the wheel; the matter harted up
70 quick, that could get but a very flight
arokea al him upon whichhe drew his dirk

him out of the quarter rail and threw hin.
overheard. But he caught by the ma;n
chains and 70 efcaped going into the W,
ter. By this time l had the remain;no
eight upon me, two of whom I knockaS
backwards off the quarterback, and EJar
ry and my man, coming up at this rim.
with handipikes, played their part 70 we'll
among them, that l ioon got relieved. ;
then drew a pifol and hota black fellow
in the head, who was coming at me with
a broad-axe ; the ball only cut him to tb.
bone; and then glanced, but it had an
excellent effect, by letting the reft know
that | had piaols, of which they had no
idea. By this time the mate whom I firth
knocked down, had recovered and rim
down to his trunk, and got piHol, which
he fred directly at my mans face, bar
the ball miled him.
The prize matter, whom I hove over
the quarter, got in again and fabbed Ear.

him to give out till we had conquered. In
this ituaticn We had it pcil mel for about
a quarter Of an hour, when we got them
running, and following them on, knock
ing down the hindmoit, two or rhree
times round the deck, when part Of them
e{caped below, and the reit begged for
mercy, which we granted on their deliver
ing up their weapons, which conhited Of a
Discharged pittol, a midfhipnan's dirk, a
broad-axe, a hand-faw, &c. We then
marched them aft into the cabin; and
brought them up, n at a time, after
itrittly iearching them, and confined chem
down forward"
Ten days after this daring aston, capt.

|fefulcdto I'd q { ii, and the trial and
Jnf2 mentspf6ceeded without it. Another
ana more fatalinAance was that ola print
er who died in prifon, where he lay con-
victed under that law.-From a view of
all thefe cafes, Mr.. NJ faid he mutt con-
cludc that the administration Of this law
was extremely Objectionable. Although
many of thete perfons were foreigners, yet
they had not the lefs claim upon the juf-
tice of the country: 1t mattered lot
whether they came from the tropics, from
the poles, or whether they frf drew their
breath in this country all mcn pofehed
an equal right of demanding a free and
impartial trial, and to all men alike 1T
ought to be granted.
1t was, and might be further urged,
thar this aet'was only aimed at falfe and
malicious libcls, tending to defame the
government. He granted it, but who
were to be the judgess The bench them
felves: they perhaps might be the fubjeets
of animadverion, but if not, were the
creation Of the pcrlon grieved. By them
the matcriality Of the teRimony which
ought to go to the jury was to be judged, &
therefore the principle that the truth might
be given in evidence was but otlittlc i'm
,Porrance, if that truth was not fuffered to
appear.
The gentleman from Connecticut MIR.
Grifwold) had adduced parts Of this law,
which he fuppofad could not be objected
to. MIR. Nichoifon admitted that the cafes
of infurrettion and unlawful combination
againi the government ought to be proyi-
died againft, and if the gentleman had pro-
pofed a rciolution for the continuance Of
thofe parts, he would not have objected.
No, the Objectionable part was that which
the people Of the country, in a voice OF
thunder, had faid ought not to have been
enacted, and which therefore now ought
t 0 be iufcrod to leep--that part which
titles every inveitigation into the affairs Of
the government. 1t was certainly true
that tie exiitence Of this law forbade en-
curry into the affairs of the government,
for who mott particularly having thole
lnitances in view would dare crutinize;n-
TO the conduct OF menin power, when they
could apprehend that they ihould az err
wards be handled by a court and jury 70
unlikely 10 do impartial juficc to Them
1t mutt prevent men faying what they
think, much lefs what they know, for
though it might be truth, how could they
allure themielves of their own teftimony ?
What, he aRed, had the government
to fear from untruth! The publication of
f~aliehoods muf carry the evidence of It's
W infany, and would undoubtedly meet
its due appreciation. The characters of
public men, in whom the people of this
country had been wont to repofe confidence
need not fhrink at the approximations of the
publication of falfehood. The people
would discriminate, and to their own OBJ
fervations il might with fafety be confd-
