MIR. Bt56 said that notwithstanding the
difference of opinion which had taken place
occasionally between the members of this
Rouse, during the present session, on ques-
tons OF policy, he was pleased to perceive
that no difference of sentiment existed in
regard to the injuries done us by foreign ma
lions. He believed that but one spirit actua-
ted the people of the United States-that
they were attached to their country and TO
their country alone. He wished not cnlv by
professions, but by practice to shew foreign
nations that we can live without them. He
therefore offered the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the members Of the
I7otSe Of Representatives zviH at,hear at

This was supported by Messrs. Bibb &

On motion of Mr.. .Nezvton, resolution
was adopted, 81 to ID, directing the Secreta-
ry OF the Treasury to enquire what and re-
port to the next session the emoluments and
tees OF the collectors, naval officers, and
surveyors ofthe customs, during the last year
and whether any addition be necessary there
to-.
Mr.. Clark said, it would be recollected bv
the House, that he had some time since been
directed to make statement in relation to
Gen. Wilkinson. He now held i'm his hand
Il correspondence with the Spanish govern
ment, which he laid upon the table as it
went to substantiatc the facts contained in
that statement
These papers were read, and consist chief
ly OF memoranda in the hand writing of Phi
lip holland, and purporting tobe instructions
from Gen. Wilkinson to Thomas Power, and
of answers from Thomas Power.
Mr.. RandoEth moved that they be print
Mr. Smile opposed the printing as, if it
were indeed testimony, this House was not
the tribunal to decide upon it.
Mr. RandOihh said, it was certain, that
from the noise III the House, or some other
cause, the papers as read could not be un-
derstood. They appeared to embrace a cor
respondenCe of Philip holland, said to be the
agent Of general w. with Power, and in the
course of them there was a recommendati-
| on that gen. WIS hand writing should not be
used. He presumed that gentlemen felt
| more interested in these than in the papers
every day laid on their tables and printed.
| Nh. Smile said, they had had enough Of
this business of denunciation, and he wish.
ed no more of it. He was willing that the
papers should be sent to the court Of enquiry
but he would no further.
The question was then taken by yeas ant
