O'Clock at night-when the seamen procured a
lighter boat, and parcel at tar and other com.
bustbles, which were put into the boat, tow,ed
towards the vessel, and obliged the guard to a
bandon her, for their own safety. as well as to
avoid the painful task of firing on. their fellow
citizens. The fire was communicated and
La Vengeance shared the same fate of the T.
AgHe.
Previous to the asscmblagc of the seamen,
yesterday, several of the crew of the privatcers
had concealed themselves in vacant store on
Anciaux's wharf, where it seems they had some
arms and ammunition deposited. On the sea-
men attempting to get on board the privatcer
they were fired upon from the upper windows
OF the store. Capt. Willer, of the Champiin (N
York packct) was dangerously wounded, having
ono ofhis eyes SHOT entirely out; the other
much injured, and the bridge of his nose brok-
en-h;s life is doubtful A seaman was woun-
dcd (since dead); and a colored person (woun-
ded) were shot nearly at the same time, and in
like manner.
Ono OF the privatcers' crew was killed on the
Bluff, yesterday, in the affray; and another
died in goal last night Of his wounds Several
others, on both sides, arc wounded; but. we
understand, not dangerously Upwards of an
hundred OF the rioters, now in goal.
We pretend not to give this as correct
statement. AS soon as the matter is fully invcs-
tigatcd, we will endeavor to lay before our rca-

the people of the United States, was read a
third time; and on the question Shall the
bill pass?"
Mr.. Bib moved 70 recommit the bill, with
n view to substitute another ratio for that on
which it is now predicated.
This motion was supported at considera-
Ole length by Mr.. Quincy, as also by MIR.
Key and Mr.. Widgery and Mr.. Smile, and
opposed by Mr.. Randolph. A sketch of this
debate win hereafter be given.
The motion for recommitment was lost !;

MILITARY CORPORAL. PUNISH
MENT.

Mr.. Randolph prefaced a motion on this
subject by observing that he trusted it was
one on which there would be no difference
OF opinion. The subject had before now been
agitated in the House, and had been spoken
OF at least, if not formally brought before the
Committee of Foreign Relations; but DEEM
Ing it more specifically to belong to the COM
niittee on that part of the Presidents Mes
sage relating to our military affairs, he WISH
ed to give it that direction. IF there were,
according to the wishes of the Executive, to
Increase the standing military force, to au-
thorise the President to accept the services
of volunteer companies, and to call out de-
tachments of militia in other words, if there
was the slightest probability that the public
force of the country would be brought into
action /; the first step to be taken must be to
amend the rules and articles of war, so as TO
abolish the use of the lash. Although the
Migrants picked up in alehouses and tipping
shops might submit to this degradation, it
was well known, Mr.. X. said, that the yeo-
many OF the country would not and he
would venture to say that, formidable as they
wouldbe to an enemy in the field, they would
prove more so to their officers if this sort of
military discipline we're attempted to be in
treduced among them. He remarked also,
that, notwithstanding all that could be said
! by military coxcombs, by the sticklers for
the old system, experience had proved that
hcggiDg was not essential to the strictest mi
iitary discipline. He therefore moved, that
the committee on the military establishment,
&c be instructed to enquire whether any and
what alterations are necessary in the rules
and articles for the government of the army
of the y. States.'
The motion lies on the table.
On motion of Mr.. Ponderfer,
ResolUed, That so much Of the petition
from the citizens of West Florida as relates
20 the annexation of that province to the
Mississippi Territory, be referred TO the
committee appointed on the memorial of the
Legislative Council and House Of Represen-
: tatives Of said territory, praying admission
into the union on an equal footing with the
original states; and that SO much as relates
TO land claims be referred to the committee
