MIR. IIftIior moved that the memorial from
s,!ndry merchants of Philadelphia, now on
the table, be referred to the committee of
the whole to whom WAS committed the bill
Tor the amendment of the nOn-importa.ion
law, and the memorial on the same subject
from Boston:
The Yeas and Nays Being called for or the
motion,
Messrs. UhhGr1 and Chiftendea expressed
themselves in favour Of the motion, from the
undoubted right of every citizen, to have his
petition heard on any subject; and that sinec
this memorial was ordered TO lie on the table
the subject had been taken up at the instance
of the committee of Commerce and Manu-
features, and was now actually before the
House.
Messrs. Lyon and Chandler contended
that this petition had been heard and con-
sidcred as far as was required by the consti-
tuition; that this memorial different from
that referred yesterday, prayed solely for a
reneaL which was question on which every
member in the House mnst have made uD
his mind; no advantage could therefore arise
from its reference to a committee.
When MIR. Gardener called for the pre-
vious question on the motion for reference,
and required the yeas and nays upon it; the
question was accordingly taken by yeas and
nays on the question Shall the main qucs-
tion ION the reference) nc now puts'' And
decided in the afiirmative-Tcas G4-Nays

The Speaker decided thai the previous
question being in this form "s;laIl tie main
question he noqo put" the aFirnative decisi-
sion on that question prcc!ntcd debate
Mr. RGn92tfh said, with very great reluc-
tance he must, if no othcr person did. aDreal
from the decision Of the Speaker The pre-
tious question precludcd all debate till it
was decided it had been decide in the af-
frmative; and the original question was
therefore left oren for discussion. Mr.. T.
called for the yeas and navs on the appeal
A motion being made BIZ Mr.. Pifkcn, to
postpone the decision on the point of order
till tomorrow, and Mr.. Randolph having
required the yeas ard narS ON that motion,
it was cgatived--Ycas C9--Navs IS.
The question of appeal was then decided
by yeas and nays, and there were in favor of
the decision of the Speaker II against it
los.
On this point Of order discussion arose
which continued for three h2ugS and ten mi
nHfrs in the course Of which, many autho-
rites were produced, and on which the fol-
lowing gentlemen expressed their sentiments !;

HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES,,
MoNpAY, Dec. Ia.


The Sneaker laid before the House COM

closing a report on the petition of Caron de
Beauinarchais which was, with the petition,
referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr.. Holland presented the petition of An
drew Bouchery on the subject OF a new mode
of manufacturing sugar; which was referred
to select committee of three members.
Mr.. Lewis presented memorial from
David Scott, denying the statement contain
tanned in memorial presented at this scs-
sion from Evans.
Mr.. Biount moved that the House go into
a committee of the whole on the bill for for
tifying our ports and harbours. AT the re-
quest of Mr.. Quincy, Mr.. b. withdrew his
motion for .fe.o minutes; when
Mr.. Quincy presented twenty-five memo
rails signed by nine hundred merchants, &c.
of the town of Boston, praying for the modi-
fication, suspension or repeal OF law COM
monty called tie non-imfortation ldse !;
which he moved to be referred to the COM
mittee of the whole House, to whom was re-
ferred the bill to amend the non-importati-
on law.
On this motion the yeas and nays being
called, debate of four hours length took
place, in which Messrs. Ely, Upham, Tay-
Tor, Sloan, GARDENER, Gardner, Crownin-
shield, Bacon, Quincy, Elliot, Cook, Macon,
w. ASTON ana IlOlldnNi, dNNOIelc'l WIG io-
ton; and Messrs. Desha, Rhea CTen.) G..
w. Campbell and Mumford opposed it.
This debate was rather desultory, and near
ly retraced the same ground that was taken
on the motion for reference of a petition on
the same subject from the merchants of Phi
ladelphia.
The Yeas and Nays being taken on the mo-
tio2 for reference, were-Ycas 79-Nays
5S.
This memorial being disposed of, it being
near four o'clock,
Mr.. Biou,,t moved that the House now re-
solve itself into n committee of the whole, on
the bill for erecting Notifications, &c. He
made this motion with a confident expecta-
ton, that the House, having spent so much
time ON a subject of no Importance, would
now go into committee, and sit till they went
through this bill, which was OF so much i'm
portancc.
This motion was ncgativcd--55 to 46.
. A message was receive d from the Senate,
informing the House that they had concurTed
in the amendments made by this House to
1hc bill for the erection of an additional num-
her of gun-boats. This bill, therefore, only
