confident that if they had examined the account
| relative to bar iron, they would have found n
| more difficulty in ascertaining its precise amour
than Mr.. Jackson did; q thing which any man o
common understanding may do with great ease
When materials were purchased from merchan,
and other persons, they made out their account
IN the usual manner. detailing the different arti
cics and the prices at which they were purcns.
ed, and after being adjusted and recorded in III,
office of the mandatory, they were examinet
by the Executive, after which, when found cor
rect, they were sent to the auditor, with AN or
der that he shall issue warrant for the sum due
to the person who had furnished the articles
Although other articles besides iron were fire
quently placedin the same accounts Could the
committee with truth say, that the amount of the
iron +" could NOT Be precisely ascertained?"
As to the "oae instance" mentioned in the Re.
port IN which " the expenditure of 1910 dollars
IS Sfdfed to have been for bar ;ron and eunsfock :
have to observe, that if Tia. trainers Of that re-
port had paid the least attention, they might have
found (not only by the vouchers, butby the Audi.
tors statement which was laid before them !
more than g one instance" in which Iron and Gun
stocks were mentioned together in the same or.
ders given by the Executive for issuing warrants
The Committee were repeatedly informed, that
money and drafts FOR money, were frequently
sent to Philadelphia to purchase materials for
the mandatory of arms and as Iron ARK, Gun.
stocks were required to greater amount than a.
ny other materials, the orders sent from the Ex-
ecut,ve to the Auditor, instead of detailing all
the various articles which were intended to b..
purchased, simply directed him to issue war
rant, sometimes for the purchase of iron only.
sometimes for gunstocks only, and sometimes for
iron and gnnstocks Whenever the money sent.
was discussed by our ageat in Philadelphia, an
account was transmitted by him, which detailed
the quantity and price of the iron, gunstocks,
steel, lilies, emery and every article purchased.
which accounts, after the usual examination
were sent to the Auditor to be deposited in his
office, as vouchers, as has been before stated
Was there any thing blameable or mysterious in
this course, or could more plain, simple, and
correct one, have been adopted by the Executive !
But mole hills were easily magnfied into noun.
talns, by men who, in order to give themselves
importance, and gain popularity, were deter.
mined to find faults, whether they existed or not ;
whose determined hostility and talents for mis-.
representation, are manifested throughout the long
Cham OF that unjust report, of which, this may be
regarded as the Hrs. link.

we have already stated that Prince Stah%
remberg might be expected soon to take his
departure from this country, having received
from his Court instructions to that eject -
This Circumstance has given rise to various
rumors, which may at least furnish anuse
ment to our readers. IL is said that all hopes
of negotiation for peace have vanished, thc
French Emperor having refused as a preli-
minary, that we should treat in concert with
our allies, Ferdisand VII. the Queen OF Por
tugal, and the King of Sicily. It is also re .
ported, that Napoleon has written letter to
the King, requiring All answer from himself,
proposing very gentle means of restoring
peace to mankind and that the Marquis
Wellesley in whose department it lies to adj
wise his Majesty on this subject, has Thought
it due, in poiteness. that the letter Of the En-

Mr.. Fisk addressed the Chair. He
said the question had been so long dis

been used upon the subject, that it
would seem nothing was left but to vote
either for or against it, However, Eith

beg leave 10 throw in his mite before
the question was taken.
Mr.. f. declared himself convinced

tify them-was to cripple, shackle and
destroy our commerce, if not TO sub

great length, once more told the OLD
STORY that has been lchearsed SO ma
ny tens of thousands Of times in the
columns of the democratic. papers, and
in democratic speeches Of much more
ingenuity than this Of Mr.. Fisk, con-

French Fzeet-The report which
was in circulation few days since, that
the French feet from Toulon had pass
ed the Straits of Gibraltar, appears nn-
founded. About the Goth of October,
the French fleet put to sea, having IN
der convoy number of transports, des-
tined, it is supposed, for Barcelona.
Admiral Collingwood having been in
formed that the French feet was out,
went in pursuit of it, and OH the Esd
