HCUSE OF REPRFSLNIA
Ndnesday March %.
First Meridian for the y. States.
Mr.. Pilkin from the committee to
whom was committed the memorial
of William Lambert. made report
concluding with the following resoIu.
tIon:
.Resoloed. That i, is expedien, to
make provision by law aulhorising
the president of the u. S. TO cause
the longitude of the city OF Washing
ton, from the observatory at Green
wich, in England, to be ascer,ained
with the greatest degree Of accuracy,
and also au,horising him, for that pur-
pose. to procure the necessary astron-
omical instruments.
Mr.. P. said as lie was desirous that
bill should pass on the subject at
this session, he did not move refer
ence Of the report to committee OF
the whole, but moved that it lie ON
the table, to give gentlemen time to
consider it before he asked decision
on it.
The report was accordingly order
ed to lie on the table.
GUN.BOATS,
Mr.. Van Dyke said j, would be re-
collected that at the first session OF
the ten:h congress law had been pas
scd au,horis,ng to purchase or en-
ploymen, Of a number Of gun-boa,s.
for which purpose sum of upwards
OF 100000 dollars had been appro,
priated. 1t appeared from report of
the secretary ofthe navy that the pre-.
sent annual expence of keeping them
in ordinary was $4,000 dollars. In
another report from the secretary of
the navy, made to a committee of the
senate, it appeared that number of
those gun.boats had been built Of
green materials, and if suffered to re.
main in service for a year would
scarcely be worth the expence of re.
pairing them. Those facts having
been ascertsined, an attempt was made
/ (unsuccessfully, ) at the las, session to
enquire whether it would not be pru.
dent to authorise the president to sell
the gun.boats or part of them
Mr.. Van Dyke said it was now about
the close of the session, and for any
. thing he had yet ascertsincd, he was
5 not induced to suppose that the whole
Dumber OF gun.boats would be neccs
sary in any event. If peace was to
result, they would be unques'ionably
; unnecessary: if war, and the opinion
of the secretary of the navy was TO be
j.. confided i'll, in all probability mum.
!, Der of them would be found unfi. &c
. be employed in the public service. -
In every view of the subject, Mr..
:. Van Dyke said it appeared proper ,e
o him that an enquiry should be made,
He moved the following resolution
d which he said he presumed would moi
be objected to by any gentleman ir
the house:
Resolved, That the committee
on our naval establishment be instruc.
N ted TO enquire into the expediency o
'' au,horising the president Of the Uni
!. !, ted States to sell such ofthe gun.boat:

written overture in the case of the Ch.sa-
peake, sent him on the 9th instant letter
Of which copy is enclosed. No importu-

came me to use.
need not trouble you with comments
on the obvious unwillrgness OF this gov
ernment 20 touch the first mentioned sub.
ject, or any thing connected with It's prin.
ciples and practice respecting blockades, or
with the system Of the orders in council.
Justice and policy both invite it TO give the
declaration which have required; and
certainly nothing has been omitted, on M,
part, to induce it TO take that course. I
fear, however, that the declai alton will be
declined unless, indeed, lord Wellesley
should continue to eva>': nay application,
by returning no answer 10 it-a new prac-
tice, I ,kiak which, little to be commended
as it is, must, Ipresume, if persisted in
here, be reciprocated in America.
E.is truly surprizing, tina, in the case Of

FOR this hesitation to propose, in writing,
terms arranged in conference between lord
wellesley and myself, in an affair which i,
is the manifest interest of England to settle
