WHEREAS the fubjeas of his
Majeiy the King of the United King:
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and
the fubjeds of other foreign belliger-
ent nations, have recently committed
unprecedented depredations on the
commerce of the citizens of the u.
States, and have impreied and impri-
foned many of the faid citizens And
whereas the Britiih Courts of Admir-
atty have adopted rules of deciGon
hottie to the juit and honelt neutral
rights of the United States, and in
grofs violation of the ancient and ac-
knowledged laws of nations
Ills therefore Rs/olvsd, As the fenfe
of this Houfe, that in fear that the
wife meafures of negotiation, which it
is prefumed the government of the
United States have undertaken, or
will undertake, to procure the fpee-
dy reltitution of our captured proper
ty, and re!eaie of our imprefed fea-
men, may prove unfuccefsful, it is
expedienr that the expofed and de-
fencelefs ports and harbours of the
United States be fortified, and the
naval force thereof augmented, to the
end that the honor of the u. States,
and the interea of their citizens may
be more efedually fecured.
Re/oivsd, That the Senators and

thefe refolutions, and be rcque&ed to

An attack, by way Of experiment, was made
on the French iotiIla at BouIogne. on Wednes.
day night, the refult of which, we are happy to
announce, anfweIed the mott fanguine expe6ta-
tons of thoie who planned and executed it,.
Twenty -four boats, each provided with fmal
quantity of rockets, or infiammable arrows
we're fent in. They took their ftations without
being perceived by the enemy, and commenced
difcbarge which lated half an hour, and the
effeet Of which was as furpriins as it was unex
pe6ted. The enemy was 70 appalled,, that it.
was a comfortable time before they manned the
fhoTe batteries. Indeed their fire did not begin
until long after our boats had retired, and join
ed the ihips to which they respectively belong

What damage was fuRained by the notiIa is
not aicertained, but the town is thought to
have fuffsred comfortably. This was not the
intention Of thofe who dire6ied the enterprise.
Unfortunately, however, the rocket-boats Rood,
as we underftand too clofe in with the fhore |;
and not taking that circumstance into account,
gave the fame elevation to the arrows, which
was calculated to produce effect at greater diff
lance. The confeguence was, that a large pro-
portion Of the rockets flew over the harbor and
fell on the town. Several buildings were Get on

effect, there islittle doubt of the complete fuc-

WASHINGTON. on. u.

We learn that our differences with G.. B.
were, about the middle of Aug. the date of the
iatei advices, in fair train for aduRment. In
contsquence of the fate of Mr.. Fox's health,
Lord Auckland and Lord Holland had been ap.
pointed to conduct the negotiation with MefTrs.
Monroe and Pinkney. We may, therefore, ex.
peet from the appointment of a fpecial con-
million, prompt attention to our affairs, and
from the characters of thofe who compete it,
it is not irrational to indulge the hope of fa-
yor9ble ifiue. Lord Auckland, formerly Mr..
Eden, is probably well acquainted with the rela-
Ions between this country and his own, and
Lord Holland, in the pamphlet afcribed to
him, has too clearly exprelTed his fentimepts to
admit of doubt of his friendly difpofition.
Our readers will recollett that in that pam
phlet the right to impress our feamen is une
qn'vocally abandoned, and that, without de-
.lding on the principle ofthe neutral rights we
claim, 1t is declared to he the policy of Britain,
on the ground of expedency, to admit them.
