tend to bring into fair operation the naval
power ofthe country, and thereby TO Keep
alive the hopes of your people, Hitherto
there has always been some ground tor

such ground. Blu; if Austria should tall

whole, Mr.. Bassert in the chair, on the bill
from the Senate for interdicting CONNER.
cal intercourse, Sc.
Mr.. Mssters' motion for striking out
part Of the 18th section being yet undo
consideration,
Mr.. ]. G.. Jackson moved To strike out
the whole of the section preceding the pro-
ivlso, for the purpose of inserting the fol
lowing amendment:
"If after Great Britain or France shall
revoke such of their orders OF DEGREES,
laws, or edicts as violate the lawful com
merce and neutral rights Of the United
States; of which revocation the President
OF the United States shall give pub
lie notice by proclamation fixing the time
which shall be at the expiration of fifty
days from the date thereof, when the ope-
ration Of this act and also of the act laying
an embargo, &c. shall cease and deter
mine and the President Of the u. States
shall at the expiration of the time limited
IN the said proclamation issue letters of
marque and reprisal against the nation
which shall continue in force its unlawful
edicts against the commerce of the United
States"
The reason he assigned for it was not an
hostility to the principle, but that as the
section now stood, 1t gave the President a
discretionary power to judge Of the time at
which the commerce of the u s. would be
safe enough TO warrant the withdrawing
the embargo as relates to either power,
SC.
Mr.. Randolph called for a division Of the
question on striking ont, so as to take the
question distinctly on striking out the two
clauses of the section.
The question was taken on striking ou,
the FIRST clause ofthe section, and negstived,
