The bill involved an appropriation of 1900
dollars for an AmbaGoEOu to Madrid ! ITO
King Jolenh Bonaparte y Mr.. Quincy mo-
we'd 10 ftr;ke II out Mr.. Eppes objected.
Mr. Bacon iaid he believed minifter would
not be fent unless there fhould be fettled
government in Spain. (The executive feems
TO think MIR. Jefferfon's " CONTEXT for the gov
eminent in Spain" is almoR over) MIR. Ouin-
cy iaid If there ihould be fettIed government
in Spain, the PRECEDENT would have con(fitu-
tional power to fend minifter without a
previous appropriation, as in the cafe of the
niniiter to Ruiia Mr.. Upham faid that by
making this appropriation, the houfe would
virtually tell the PRECEDENT that il was his du-
ty 70 fend fuch mininer. Mr. Root faid the
thing did not ffrke him with much alarm
probably the Junta or G.afa !! or whatever
it was called, exercifng fome of the attributes
nfroyaity, would looR expire, and in that cafe
it would be proper to fenc miniiter TO king
jofeph Mr. Lyon delivered very animated
fpeech. He faid the gentleman from New
York, and tbs republican Of The nezU ebOoI, were
advocating the OLD FEDERAL DOCTRINE of
appropriations in grofs Mr.. l.. was lilI in
favour Of fPecifck appropriations. He faid
IT one Of the Bonapartes were TO reign a. Mad
rid, the money paid for fuch a miffon would
be thrown away, as all the bulinels would be
done at Paris. Joieph would not dare to
make Jingle liquidation without leave of Ma
poeon. He would fay the fame of the milf
iion to St. Peterfburg. He had repeatedly
afked why miniter was fent there but could
get nothing for anfwer bat finite, a nod Of tie
cad, or iome fuch thing. Alexander had
nuckled to Napoleon-he had become one
of his tools, one of his fervants, one of his

loft II the houie were TO become the humble
tools of the Executive in thefe concerns, bet
ter 10 give him the power of appropriation it.
ielf Mr.. Quincy added the remark that the

Goldiborough delivered concife but very
handiome tPeech againit the appropriation.
He fald the Executive appeared TO have fet-
tied this point by refuGng TO receive miniC
ter from Seville, and the true que1ion now
appeared TO be, whether the houfe would ar
once ianction an embaliy 10 Joleph Bonaparte
or NOT. He was oppofed to it. Thofe who
wiihed for iuch an embahy would vote for
the highest fun propoied. Mr. MKim faid
he was not attached TO Napoleon, or to the
HHnfa, but thought we ought to fend an am.
baiaiour to Madrid when the government
ihould be perfectly eflablfhed there. Mr..
W. Alton thought jult 20. When there
ihould De government in Spain, fuch as the
eFvHiSsf zroriS TUOzIs 'ee9gaize (Mr A. viii
not deny that he meant the government of
the" Phiofopher" Jofeph) we ought 10 have
representative there. Madrid will Till con
tinue 10 Spain as heretofore-(Will il indeed.
MIR. Altos , We are NOT going TO fend a
minifter to our own country (How fage
