CHAINS BEFORE CONGRESS.

Again the tables of Congress are croudcd
with memorials from the war-wern soldiers
of the revolution, and others having equally
undeniab;e claims for compensation, but whose
claims are foreclosed by statute OF llmlta-
tions. or from the want of vouchers to entitie
them to settlement in due course at the
treasury. For the four and twentieth time the
agent of Beaumarchais' heirs attends the plea
sure of the committee of claims; and again,
for ths twentieth or thirtieth time will Amy
Dardih's heirs he told by their representative
on his return home, that Congress have not
vet done any thing with their petition. 10
adduce argument to prove the injustice OF a
general statute OF Limitations would be need
lcss-it is case which comes home to every
mans bosom. Let him ask himself the ques-
ton, whether, if he had incurred debts In
contest on which his existence depended, he
would avail himself, when perfectly solvent,
of the provisions OF a statute of limitations to
shield him from the demands of his just Gre
ditors? Whether he would wrap himself up
in his irresponsibility, and bid his creditor,
now humble petitioner, to begone from his
door-or, what is worse, pretend to examine
his claim, to acknowledge its fairness and
promise settlement, and yet suffer the accept
ed hour to pass away, and send the claimant
home without any other satisfaction than that
of having been amused with smooth words
and cheated With fair promises. There is
something more cruel in refusing to decide
on claim, and thus bringing claimant year
after year to the seat of government to prose-
cute his right, frequently wasting the sub
stance he has in pursuing shadow--there is
something more cruel, we say, in this tortur-
ing suspense, than in at once closing the doors
of the Limitation act in the suitor's face, and
peremp,orily refusing his request. How much

Indifference from ayo.-The following is
an extract from, a letter from Madras, dated
the l6th March:
9" BY tie ship Mary, which arrived in the
river on Friday last, from the Prince OF
IVales's Island, private letters ,'ave reached
us communicating some articles, recent IN
teliigence from Java.
{" BIZ these sdyices we are informed, that
Gen. Daendels had at length closed an obstl-
nate and destructive war against the Banta-
mars, in which the French General had tri-
nnphed over ali opposition on the part OF the
brave, but untutored soldiers OF Bantam. The
different forts, stoCkades, and all the deiehces
of the Javanese were stormed, and carried by
the bsyonet This success, however, was
dearly purchased and it is stated, that from
|, 500 TO 1000 of the fines. troops in the SER
vice of Daendels had been killed in the latter
part of the operations against the Bantamars.
who had for SOME time successfully opposed
every effort to subdue them. The patience
of Daendcls being exhausted by the repeated
defeats of his troops, he assembled all army
of 5000 men, including Europeans, and the
Bouggese, who are his favorlte native troops.
Placing himself at the head OF this army, he
marched in person against the Bantamars,
who were Joined, in this emergency, by the
Lampoun men. All enterprislng race, lnhablt-
ing district on the Western parts OF Java.
The defence by the allies was obstinate and
bloody but after various conflicts, discipline
and superior appointment finally decided the
struggle in favor of Daendels.
ht the date of these accounts, the Gov.
Gen. Daendels had not returned to Soura-
baye from Bantam-being detained for some
time at the latter place, in the arrangements
consequent to the termination OF the late
war
"The Expedition projected by Daendels
for the re-capture of Amboyna had not been
laid aside though it had necessarily been
postponed by the rebellion as it is termed, OF
the Bantamars AS soon as the General re-
turns to the new capital the preparations tor
the expulsion of the English from the Mo-
luccas were, it is said, to be resumed"
"The Gallo Batavian Government of Java
have lately passed number OF regulations,
calculated to extend and improve the COM
| merce of the Island"

How much more time might be devoted oy

furnished during the war and IN general a'i
claims founded in equity, were either sunef-
ed to be settled at the treasury, or, IN cases
not admitting of the usual course OF settle
ment, referred TO board of commissioners 10
decide on their equity. BY such course, pc
sides the pleasure and honesty of paying one S
debts, there would be an actual saving to the
United States for at least a third OF every
session is occupied in presenting, reporting
on and discussing individual claims, the eX-
pence of which to the nation amounts to We
nv considerable per centage annually on inc
whole amount of Just claims which would aP-.
pear against the United States, if tribunal
were established for deciding on their validity,
and for the liquidation only OF such as should
appear to be founded in equity. 1t were much
to be wished, if this general course cannot DC
adopted, that Congress would decide, II pos
sible, ON every claim successfully presenting
itself before them, and that their decision
should be solemn and final, precludlng the "a
citation Of the same subject at any future ses-
Sion. AS the practice at present is, a claimant
may petition each branch of the Legislature
at each succeeding session, athough the pray
er of his petition is rejected as often as pre-
sented If the course Just mentioned were a
dopted, and nothing would be easler' the
claimants or their agents who have so long
been obliged to dance attendance Oh Congress
would be relieved from tax OIL their time,
patience and purses, which at present cannot
but be to all very burthensome, and to many
completely ruincus. ~,
