WASHINGTON cry, January !.


Mr.. adams, yesterday submitted to the
SENATE report in the case of Johb
Smith, member of that body. AS The re
port is very long, and it is our intention to
lnsertit entire in our next paper, we shall
at present'take but brief notice of IT.
Previously 10 its being offered, on mott
on OF Mr.. Adams, Mr. Smith was notified
to- attend in his place, in compliance with
which notification he Immediately took his
seat.
The report Vas then read. 1t is couch.
ed IN energetic and impressive language,
and VIII command the universal attention
at the American people.
IL begins with unequivocally avowing the
opinion that any person engaged IN the
conspiracy OF Aaron Burr, is unworthy of
seat in the Senate, and submits to the de-
clsIon OF the Senate how far the facts exhi.
bIted prove John Smith to have been so en-
gagged. 1t then states the course pursued
by tbs committee in receiving evidence.
and adds that Mr.. Smith had appeared be-
fore the committee, and given full informa
ton on every point deemed important by
him; but that he sill claims the right q,
be heard by counsel and to be confronted
by witnesses before the Senate.
The opinion IS intimat> d that under the
peculiar circumstances of the case, Mr.
Smith ought not to have hesitated TO have
met the charges against hIm by plain
acknowledgment or denial, instead of en-
trenching himself behind the technical
forms of law.
IN elaborate, and extremely interesting
investigation ensucs on the discretionary
power of the Senate to expel a member
without being controlled by the rigid prin-
ciples that characterize ordinary judicial
proceedings. The conspiracy of Burr is
represented in the blacklist colours, and the
Note froseqm entered in the case of John
Smith IS Considered as no evidence ofhi in
nocenCe
The report concludes with a resolution.
that John smith, Senator from the state
.oi ONO, BY his participation in the conspi.
racy OF Aaron Burr, has been guilty of
conduct which incapacitates him from hol-
d'ng seat ~ the Senate, and that nc be
expelled therefrom.
The documents accompanying the re-
port, arc very volumnous Among them
is the answer Of Mr.. Smith, covering o6
manuScript pages.
Mr.. Adams also offered n further report,
made IN consequence Of a supplementary
instruction Of the Senate This report
states the existence of an allegation A.
gainst John Smith, that since his election
as Senator, he had taken an oath Of ale
giance to the king of Spain On enquiry,
me committee consider the oath as having
been taken, bat previously to his election
