CAPTURE OF THE CITY.

Mr.. johnson Of KY in moving the
following resolution observed that it was
unnecessary to detain the House with stat.
ing the various considerations which I'M
duced him to move it.
" Resol1ed, That a committee be ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause which led
to the invasion ofthis city by the enemy,
and his success in destroying the Public
Buildings and Property; and that they
have power to send for persons and pa
pers. ="
This proposition Mr.. Johnson subse-
euently modified, partly on the sugges-
tons of Mr. Brady of Vt and Mr.. Pearson
of n. c. so as to read as follows:
RESOLVED, That a committee be APP
pointed to inquire into the causes of the
capture of this city by the enemy, the
manner in which the public buildings and
property were destroyed. and also into the
amount in value Of the property, public
and private, so destroyed and that they
have power to send for persons and pa
pers. Z"
Mr.. Goldsborough. Of Nd then said,
that he had certainly no desire to arrest
the progress of this inquiry, which he was
aware ought to be as expeditions as possible /;
but ii appeared to him some advantage
would be gained by laying this motion on
the table tor one day. There we're objects,
he said, which it would be proper to con
meet with this inquiry, besides those stated
in the resoiution-he alluded to the des-
truction of Fort Warburton, the capitula-
tion of Alexandria, and the loss of private
property there He therefore suggested
the postponement of the decision on the
motion for day.
Mr.. johnson observed he had no dis
position to hurry the decision on it. He
was DESTROYS of giving every gentleman an
opportunity to embrace in the motion every
thing he thought proper to be inquired
into, and therefore consented to the mo-
toms lying on the table.
Which was accordingly ordered.
Mr.. Samuel Dana, elected from Massa-
chussetts, to supply the vacancy occasion
ed by the resignation Of Mr.. Richardson,
appeared was qualified and took his seat.
And the House adjourned.

General Stricken had been detached on
Sunday evening with portion of his bri-
