From WASHINGTON Cry, Dec. %.
There was an interesting debate on FRI
day in the senate on Dr.. Logan's bin to
suspend commercial Intercourse between
the U. States and st. Domingo. Messrs.
Logan and Jackson advocated, s. Messrs.
5. Smith, Hilihouse, Miicbil and Adams
opposed it. The debate became the more
interesting from its implication of the ge-
neral state of our foreign relations, and
particularly the late british orders. No
sentiment 5ut that of repro5alion, was ".
tered, and he necessity OF. taking bold and
commanding ground in defence of our
violated rights was aYowed on all hands.
The further consideration Of the bin was
postponed till Monday. We shall entlea.
yor to pabiish sketch of the debate.
