SATURDAY, April 9.
Mr.. Rdndolbh observed that he knew it was
customary of late to do certain species of small
business in the early part Of the day but the ses
sion WAS now drawing 90 a close, and itiwas little
more than mere matter of form for gentlemen
nowte present petitions as it was scarcely posi-
bic to obtain reports on them. He therefor e asks
ed for the consideration of the bill for armng the
whole body OF the militia and also asked for the
Yeas and Nays on the motion, that il might APP
pear on the Journals, thatit was from no neglect
OF his that the bill had not been taken up. SUCH
was his extreme indispositon on this day as well
asyesterday, that nothing but wish TO get up the
bill could have induced him to come to the House
these two DAYS.
The question on taking this Bill into consdera-
ton was then decided by Yeas and Nays Yea,
Al, Nays so.
The House resolved itself irto committee OF
the whole on the bill concerning the post-ofice
and post-roads, Mr.. MASTERS in the chair. The
bill having been gone through, was reported to
the House
Mr.. Randoi6h renewed his motion for taking
up the bill for arming the whole body Of the mi
litia--Negatiyed ii to 50.
The House then took up the report of the COM
mittee o. the whole Just made on the bill for al
terlng and establishing certain post roads.
There being great diilicultyin retaining DUO
rum within the bar, and the report not having
been gone through,
Alter repeated motions for adjournment, one
OF which was t.ken by yeas and nays, the House

short conversation arose on the course of pro-

the propriety of deciding on the report generally,

concludes.
When on motion of Mr.. Franklin, it was agreed,
without division. to proceed to the considera-
ton Of the resolution.
message received from the President,
in consequence of the resolution adopted yester-
day, laying various papers before the Senate.
Mr.. Adams then addressed the Senate in a
speech of about three hours length in the course
of which he indicated the course.pursued in this
case against the objection of unconsttutionality ;
ard then went at considerable length into an ex-
animation OF the evidence Abandoning almost
entirely the testimony of Glover and McFarlane,
and insisting but lightly that of the other de-
Ponents, he rested his argument principally onthe
letters, declarations and acknowledgements of
Mr. Smith himself; and concluded with express
sing his opinion in favor of the resolution OF ex-
Pulsion.
When, ON motion of Mr.. Giles, the further con
sideration of the subject was postponed till to-

Mr.. Findiey from the committee appoin.

report concluding with resolution to ad-
Journ on the 25th instant, which was order
ed to ! lie on the table.
The bin from the Senate for the punish
tnent OF certain crimes and offences against
the u. States, was read by the Speaker,
committed to a committee of the whole house.
and order d to be printed. This bill calcu-
lated to meet cases for which the laws of the
u. States did not provide previous to Burr's
conspiracy.
The House took up for consideration the
bill which has been under discussion for
several days, to wit g An act for raising an
additional military tor &c, when Mr. Ran
dolph moved to re-Commit it to- committee
of the whole House: And entered into along
and elaborate, desutory and tiresome ha
rangue against the bill and the supporters of
1t.
1t would be utterly Impossible for me to
give you correc tview of Mr.. Randolph s
speech, without gong into a very long detail.
Suffice it to say, hat he travelled ali round
the political compass; from the north, where
he, attempted to freeze the spirit of the ma
ton, to the south, where he famed in hosti-
lily to the non-irnportation act and the en-
barge law.
He was ably, eloeuently, and conclusively
answered by Mr. Eppes.
Philip B. Key took part in the debate to
day lie was for the bill; but wished a post
ponemenl. (ihis wasin perfect consonance
with Randoph's feelings.)
Mr. Dana spoke but in reality, what he
said would have answered just as we'll Tor
any other subject
Mr.. Randoph's eloquence to-day produc-
ed a singular effect upon Matthew LYON ;
who fora considerable part OF the time that
the Grafton was delivering, lay lock'd in the
arms OF balmy sleep on one of the back seats.
Stretched at his ease, the pineuid slerpei.isv
The speakers to-day in the house spoke to
every thing but tie question before them ;
Mr.. Eppes, Clopton and Key excepted. =
Mr.. CIopton made some very sensible re-
marks in refutation Of the arguments of the
opposers of the bill
Mr.. Stanford, who is against the BIZ. vote d
in the time of John Adams, for standing
army: lie made confession of repentance
for that vote the other day. To-day he said
he made the confession because the journals
were published, and he expected retort
But he declared he would not have confess
sed at all, if he had thought members would
have scored him so much about it III
general laugh. About 5 O'Clock the ave,
and nays were taken on the passage of the
bill, when it passed in the affirmative, ave,
IS, nays 10, and the house adjourned.
Thus, after great waste Of time ant
words, the bill for raising an additional al.
my bas passed by a large majority.
