under the foundations, when he received or
ders from Napoleon for the Immediate march
of fifteen thousand Dutch troops into Bava-
ria, to act under Davoust, and another divi-
sion of like force, to be ready by the middle
OF March. Louis sent off couriers to Am
sterdam, for calling his ministers & coun-
Gil of state to Utrecht, where, after much
deliberation, his council declared to him the
incompetency If the nation to bear the bur
tbens of new war, and solemnly protested
against his employment of so large a force,

standing this, sir.
This resolution met an objection on ac-
count OF its being an abstract proposition;
and as such, not deserving the attention of
this house in legislative capacity. The an
swer given was, that it was common prac-
tice of the house at the close of every ses-
sion to thank the Speaker. This practice is
but mere expression ofcourtesy, confined
to the officers of this house and not extend
ed to the other departments of government;
and there can be no improperly inthis.-
But fit be considered as a precedent, what
will be the effect of it: 1t has been so long
established mot only in this house but in the
different states, as a matter OF course, that
the omission of it would be considered at
least as censure on the Individual filing
the chair. And are we,at the commencement
of this session, about to establish this pre-
cedent to be venerated as such at each sub
sequent session Are we to establish that it
shall hereafter be considered as a matter of
course, v hen we come to the Capitol, to
make our bow to the President and express
our appreciation of his conduct, or have our
silence construed into mark of disappro-
baton? Surely not sir. SO much for this
argument, urged in favor of the resolution,
but which conyinces me Of the impropr;ety
of adopting it,
