Non INTERCOURSE BILL.--Mr. Shelf
fey's amendment, containing proviso, that
nothing in the act shall be construed pre-
venting the admission of armed vessels OF
any nation, with which commercial inter-
course is allowed, and Mr.. ]ackson's a
amendment to said proviso, whenever a
full and satisfactory adjustment OF existing
differences shall have been made with such
nation," under consideration.
1n. Fisk. am opposed to the amend
ment the last believe TO be inconsistent
with the genius of the law. The main ques-
ton to be considered, as embraced by the
bill, was, how public ships should be admit
ted--admit all, exclude all, or discriminate.
Many have advocated the principle of ex-
clusion, and if we consider what has been
suffered from public armed ships, it might
be best to exclude all; but as number of
reasons have been urged in favor of their
admission, and am not for throwing any
thing nthe way Of the present negotiation,
! lam disposed to that course--But it has
been said that the admission Of French yes
sells will be reeeding from the ground for
merly taken: let us see how the bill, as re-
ceived from the Senate, Will make US recede
from that ground !: it will not be commended
that we are at war with France or England,
but that we have ministers there for the pur-
pose of negotiating peace; then it cannot
be said that it will be departing from our
neutral ground when both nations are ex-
cluded, or both admitted: general inter-
dict Of the public ships Of England and

in tie course Of conference with Mr.,
Canning he asked an explanation Of their
former answer TO the note on'the subject OF
the Berlin decree which answer they a.
greed to give in writing. Mr.. Canning
closed the interview by saying that i would
BE necessary to postpone what he had far
Sther 10 communicate to another opportunity.
No information. no explanation was given,
Sir nothing partaking Of the nature or
quality Of conciliation having been resorted
to. "A ;deathlike silence was observed on
this point of critical interest TO the nation
"A note was delivered attempting to prove
that the occasion which produced the note
annexed TO the treaty had disappeared
and what ground was taken in that note, sir:
!" Great anxietyshaving been excited by a
construction, which many believed the de.
cree to be susceptible Of, the minister Of
the u States at Paris requested of the
minister Of marine who was charged with
Its execution, an explanationsof the sense in
which it was understood by his government,
who assured him that it was not intended
that it should in any degree interfere with
the provisions of thesreaty of 1900, between
the United States and France. I'VE relied
also upon the.facs, not only rhat no counte-
nance had been given.by any practice orju-
dicial decision, IN France, tosa different
construction, but that the practice was in
precise conformity with the view above
suggested, and that in cause in which the
question had been formally brought into dis
cussion, the court had sanctioned. the con-
clusion, that the treaty between the two ma
,ions was to be exactly fulfilled, and that
the decree was to be so construed as not to
infringe it."

Mr.. Pot. agreeably to leave, introduc-
ed bill freeing from postage all letters and
packets from Thomas Jefferson, which was
read twice.
Mr.. Leib from the committee appointed
on the goth inst. to enquire into the e1pe-
diency Of providing by law for the exclusion
Of foreign armed vessels from the ports and
harbors of the United States, made the fol-
lowing report, which was ordered to lie for
consideration.
"THATiu the opinion Of the committee,
such an introduction is within the just and
neutral rights of the United States, and,
under other circumstances, would be high
iy expedient and proper. So long as neu-
trail nation shall confne itself to strict mea-
sures of impartiality, allowing no benefit to
one belligerent, not stipulated by treaty,
which it shall refuse to another, no cause
whatever is afforded for exception or COM
plant. The right to admit an armed force
into neutral territory, belongs exclusively
to the neutral and when not guaranteed
by treaty, as is oftentimes 'the case, such
admission compromits the neutrality otthe
nation, which permits to one 'belsigsrent a.
lone such an indulgence.
As measure Of safety as weilas OF peace
it is incumbent upon the United States to
carry into effec. such provision. So long
as we are without competent force to pro-
tect our jurisdiction from violation, and
our citizens from outrage, and our flag
from insult, so long ought no asylum to be
given, but in distress to the armed vessels
OF any nation. sThe committee will not
bring into view the many injuries and IN
suits which the. United States have sustain
ed from the hospitable grant Of their ports
and harbors to belligerents nor the facility
which hiss thereby been afforded to them to
lay our commerce under contribution. It
is sufficient TO remark, that. great injuries
have been sustained, and that imperious
duty requires arrangements at our hands to
guard our country in future from similar
aggressions.
The II. States are at this moment under
no obligation to withhold restraints, within
their power, upon the admission of foreign
armed vessels into their ports; but the
committee are too strongly impressed with
the propriety Of avoiding any legislative In
reference at this time, which by any pos
sibility, might be construed into desire to
throw difficulties in the way of promised
and pending negotiations. They are desl-
rous that fair experiment may be made to
adjust our differences with the two belliger-
ent nations, and that no provisions be In
terwovcn in our laws, which shall furnish a
presext for delay, or refusal to yield to
our Just aud honorable demands.
Calculating the overtures which have
been made by Great Britain will be executed
in good faith, the committee are willing to
believe, that the stipulated arrangements
will be of such character as to guard our
flag from insult, our jurisdiction from az.
gression, our citizens from violation and

He has affected to renderthe military irde-
pendent of, or superior to the civil power,
by protecting from punishment, with mock
trial, the military usurper, who had lawless-
ly imprisoned our citizens with unheard of
cruelty who
Had transported them over the sea to be
tried for pretended offences.
Had deprived them of the benefit of trial by
Jury and
Had abolished the free system of English
laws in neighboring province, establish
ing therein an arbitrary government.
He has given his assent to laws,
For destroying our judiciary:
For quartering large bodies of troops a.
mong Us
For imposing taxes on us to lavish on a
traiterous favorite, without our consent ::
For cutting off our trade with all parts Of
the world
For taking from us many of our most va
liable rights, contrary to the. fundamen-
tai principles of our government:
He has combined with others to subject
us to the jurisdiction of foreign despot,
unacknowledged by our laws, tacitly as
seneing and connlving at his DEGREES and u
surpatlons.
He has constrained our fellow citizens to
bear arms against their country, and become
the cxecutoners of their friends and breth-
rem in forcing obedience to unconstitutional
edlcts. He has excited domestic insurrec-
ton and discontents among us by ruinonS
and intolerable laws.
lu every stage of these expressions we
have solicited redress in the most respec..
full terms. Our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated injuries. A
man, whose political character is marked
by such conduct, is not fit to be the Direc-
tor OF free people.
Nor have we been wanting in. attentions
20 our democratic brethren. We have warn.
ed them from time to time, Of the attempts
by their chief to introduce a ruinous and
unwarrsntable policy. We have reminded
them Of the circumstances Of our peace, u
Mon and happiness under the administra-
ton of Washington. We have appealed to
their self-love, to their justice and magma
nimity and we have conjured them by the
ties OF our common interest to disavow those
meas Tres and their author, which otherwise
would destroy our country and might in
terrupi our connection and correspondence.
! They 100 have been deaf to the voice Of
reason and justice. We must therefore ac-
quiesce in the necessity which compels lis
to depouuce them and their Idol and we
hold them, AS We do the resi- of mankind,
mad-men when they impair their own nap
, piness--enemies when they disturb ours.
We therefore, the good people OF the =.
States of America, Go, in our own name
and by our own authority, solemnly pub
lish and declare, that these United States
are and of right ought 70, be TREE and IN
DEPENDENT Of the pernicious influence,
counsel and control of che late president
Thereof, and are forever absolved from al
attachment to hm--and that being SO, We
will contract an alliance with England, de-
clare war with France, if necessary, and
do such other acts and things as wise and
free people ought to do for their happiness
and safety. And in support of this decla-
ration we mutually pledge to each other our
sacred honor.
