MIR. paa .flen moved to refer to the same
a resolution offered by Mr.. Mum
ford at the commencement of the session
for a partial repeal of the embargo, but the
ii'usS ADJOURNED before Il question could
be taken.
The effect of the votes of this dav. !, n
refer to the committee on our foreign rela-
tions, composed of Messrs. @. w. Camp
oeil' Nicholas, Bacon, Taylor, Fisk. ].
montgomery, Mumford, Champion, and
roter. the several propositions Tor the re-
peal OF the embargo, for arm,ing the mer-
chant vessels, for non, int course, for ex-
GLIDING armed vessels from our waters and
ior declaring the first capture made in vio-
iat'on OF the neutral rights of the u. 6. to
De a declaration OF war, &c. with leave to
report by bill.
The chief argument in favor of this gene
1ai reference was, that thess propositions
might be merged in one bill which should
present 2 general system, and thus reader
less complicated the proceedings OF the
House on these resolutions. The main ar
guinents against 1t were, thati it would des-
troy all thar had already been done in com
mittee OF the whole, and probably present
a system at length to the House which
wouid not DC approved, and thus produce
no other effect at this late period of The ses-
sion than 10 protract discussion and also.
that 1T wonld encourage that speculation
now gong on in the mercantile towns, and
te ru'nous to many men of moderate CAPT
tais who had embarked their all in the pur-
chase OF produce, in the certainty that the
embargo would be raised OH the fourth of
March.
