FRoM THE WAR.
IN CONGRESS-.

Hut little of national concern has yci been brought
forward, the dicIcn committees being engaged in
digestinG business. We are pleased to see, that a.
monG the FIRST acts of Congress will be- an express
sion of appreciation Ut the conduct OF Capt HuLL
and the crew Of the Contribution. The brilliant aCh
ievemcnt, il seems, has had electrical effect upon
the nfi,ds of the members, many Of Whom; from
being adverse to an increate of the navy. now
cene it to be Indispensable This change OF ofopinion
is justified also by ,e galantry of in nu-
merous other inst ,,ces, and indeed wherever they
have come in contact with the enemy. We therefore
confidently anticipate early measures 10 place
navy upon respectable footing as the resources
Of the nation will admit Of 1t is demanded also by
the determined hostility Of enemy, vino refuses
to enter into any amicabe arrangement with our
government, unless We will acknowledge her "rglr
of impressment" from our merchant ships, This is
point which we cannot admit, without surrender
OF our personal and national rights, which nation
that regards its independence ever submit to. II
Britain then is resolved fight US, rather than yield
10 the justice OF our claim, let US nail cur co.ors TO
the mAst, and our motto shall be,
I" Free s7radr, and Sailors Rights"
and broadside and broadside seamen shall ar
que the question at the cannon's mouth till England
cease violate the rights that God and nature gave,
and suffer 10 pass and .epass the ocean without
interruption.
