IN additional duty on domestic manufactures,
Sc. &c. &C. all of which must be fresh in the
public recollection. shall not therefore tire
thee with repetition of them. But cannot
refrain from remarking that the report of the
committee of Foreign Relations, which was
YESTERDAY introduced into the house after a
\ long and laborious preparation, is one Of the
most singular documents ever presented to
] the American people. Far different were the
state Papers issued in times that tried
r,en's souls" This purports to be mani
festo against G. Britain; yet epithets are APP
| piled to the French Emperor, which are en-
|tirely unnecessary, improper and impoltic, if
lie has really acted with the justice which the
committee pretend. With this report con-

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
FRIDAr, 9th December, 1911.

TREPoRTED FOR THIS GAZETTE.
Mr.. Lewis presented petition from the
Lancaster Society of Georgetown, praying
for an act of incorporation. Referred to the
committee on the District of Columbia.
MIR. Emott presented petition from GER
tain merchants of New-York, praying per-
mission to import quantity of goods from
the West-Indies. Referred to the committee
of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Smile presented memorial from the
President and Managers Of the Union Canal
Company of Pennsylvania, praying aid from
Congress. Referred to select committee
of members.
On motion OF Mr.. Porter, the house went
into committee of the whole on the report
of the committee of Foreign Relations,-EIr.
Macon in the chair;
Mr. Porter rose to explain the object OF
the committee of Foreign Relations in max
ing this report. He said the committee had
considered all prospect oil an amicablc settle
ment of our differences with G. Britain as
at an end. This was evident from the mise
rable shifts she resorted to in order to justify
her aggressions upon our commerce. II We
submitted much longer to these, we might
expect to see the ssblects of g. not on
" capturing our property at sea, but tread
ing upon our necks in the streets of our CT
ties. With regard to the question OF any
longer submitting to the wrongs inflicted up
on us by the Orders in Council, or OF OPEN
ly resisting them by war, there was but one
opinion in the committee, and this was, that
THEY OUGHT TO BE RESISTED BY WAX
AS to the time and manner OF waglng this
war, however, there was some little difference
Of opinion among the committee. Although
we could not contend with G. u. on her own
element, we could DO her essential injury up
on it and II was, besides, in our power to de.
prive her of the valuable provinces she held
in North-America. After some calculations
with regard to the expense OF war, Mf. +.
observed, that if the present resolutions were
agreed to, it was the intention of the commit
tee of Foreign Relations torecommend open,
decisive War, unless G. Britain repealed her
Orders in Council He concluded by re-
marking that the committee had approached
this subject with diGd' nee and awe; butt they
had done what they considered their duty !:
And he hoped, if we were to have war; we
shauld not rush into it unprepared.
The question was taken on the hrst resoiu-
ton, and it was agreed to Without DIVISION
Mr.. Little moved to strike out the words
"ten thousand in the second resolution Tor
the purpose of inserting $4,000. The motion
to strike out was carried.
Mr. Fisk wished to have the blank hiied
with $4,000. If we we're to have War; ne
WIS for raising an overwhelming force at
once.

The house then proceeded to consider the
report. The ayes and noes we're taken on a
greeting to the first resolution reported by
the committee of the whole, and it was agreed
to, ayes III, noes IL.
Mr.. Goldsborough hoped some further time
would be allowed for deliberation before the
question was taken on the second resolution.
He should be willing to afford the government
every aid in his power, if they were determin-
ed to plunge the nation into war but he
wished at least one more evening to reflect
upon so important subject. He therefore
moved that the house adjourn. This motion
was agreed to g o'clock

The war between our vigilant Custom-house
officers and British goods is prosecuted with
snirlr and warmth. A few DAYS since strong
squadron of Rum riflemen capitulated. And
yesterday they obtained a victory over corps
commanded by Gen. Broadcloth, although he
was covered by some thanking parties of Salt
Fish.-The enemy were well concealed by
Aogsheads; but after struggle surrendered.
A few of Gen. Broadctoth's corps endeavored
TO escape through an auction Office, but was
discovered by our forcgers and shart-shooters,

ferves TO be noticed from two con-

tory evidence that this cuitom, f. abb

pafing into difufe in this, the mott
populous part of Bengal and fc-
condly, this Sauttie is noticeable from
the age at which the victim to con-
nubiai vcneration, devoted herlelf TO
death. Neederam Dutt, Hindoo
of the Colt caif, died on Sunday
morning, after fhort iilnefs, at the
age of eighty-one years. On his de-
ceafe, his wife, who had attained her
lift year, forthwith declared her re-
folution TO be burned with her huff
band, with whom fhc had lived in a
fate of uninterrupted happiness for
fxty years. Accordingly at two o.
clock, Of the day Of her hufband's de-
ceaie, ihe was placed in palanksen,
being too inhrm to walk, and borne
with the body Of her hufband 20 Cof-
fypore, where the chee;a or funeral

tion in the Hooghly, and the ufuaI
Brahminical ceremonies, fhe was laid
upon the pile, her right arm paihng
under her hufband's neck The fig
nal being given, her SON applied the
lighted torch, the pile caught the
fame, and the pious widow was
quickly placed beyond the reach of
