month.
On motion of Mr.. Calhoun, the House re-
solved itself into committee of the whole.
Mr. Bassett in the chair, on the bill for an
thorising the departure of ships and vessels
from the ports and harbors of the United
States in certain cases. No objection being
made to the bill. it was reported to the
House
Mr.. Pitkin equiring the object Of the bill.
Mr.. Calhoun stated, that vessels chartered
by the United States might now be detained
by the embargo; that such case had oc
CURED in relation to a vessel chartered by
the United States and bound to Algiers. To
such cases this bill would apply a remedy.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed for
third reading.
On motion of Mr.. Wright, the House went

On motion of Mr.. Calhoun, the House re-
solved itself into committee of the whole
Mr.. Breckenridge in the chair, on the hill
making further provision for the army Of
the United States.
An Intellectual attempt was made bv M.
Wright, TO procure an amendment to the
hill going to place all the military officers oS
the United States of the same grade on equal
footing as to pay and emoluments. The
mover stated that at present the brigadier-
general OF the army, the oldest brigadier
general Wilkinson received much less paw
than those on the two additional establish
ments.-Thc amendment was rejected on
the ground OF its iDapplicabiity and irrele-
vance to the present bill, being properly n
subject OF distinct consideration.
Further amendments were made to the
bill, which was then reported to the House.
Mr. Wright renewed in substance the
amendment he had proposed in committee
which was again nega,ived.
Mr. Shelley moved to strike ont that ser-
tion OF the bill which authorises the appoint,
ment oftwo additional major generals. and
four additional brigadier- generals, whenever
IN the Presidents opinion the public service
shall require it.
This question was widely debated. Tn sun
port OF the provision It was said that the
number OF officers now authorized was not
greater than was absolutely necessarv IN

cur ~ the Progress of war, in which the
regulars under an inferior command might
be embodied with the militia or volunteers.
and It might be necessary to appoint an Of
hcer to take the command. Separate de-
tachRenis might also be made from the
main army, requiring more general officers
than at present belong TO the army. On the
other hand, it was commended that the militia
must be commanded by their own officers
that they cannot constituGonaily be SUPER

them and therefore this clause could nc &c

Mr.. Roberts, after making full eXpla-

Mr.. Shelley enqured if this resolution was
in order he considered it as abstract from the

send a bill to the house with one section, it
would be competent to add second one to it.
