would be so modified as to meet all
cases of a similar nature.
MIR, Barbour said he did not mean
to question the claim of the stale OF
Maryland, but IIe did not wish it to
be associated with that which he had
presented at this time-his was an
Insulated proposition, and not affect
ing any other. lfMaryland was Ell
titled to similar relief, let the gentle.
man from that state present the sab
ject entire, and he should not object
to it. 1t was not interest alone. MIR.
B. said. that constituted the items of
the claim Of Virginia but the reso-
luton contemplated to give power to
the proper department TO settle. up
on equitable principles, the whole
claim. We were, at that time, I'M
acquainted with the firms necessary
tn be observed in a state of way; and
although bona file expenditures ofthe
money had been made, yet the pro-
per documents could not always be
produced-in many instances, the
technically required at the Offices
could not be complied with-although
the claim might BE- allowed to be just,
yet, in many cases. the vouchers are
wanting. lie therefore hoped the re-
solution would pass.
Mr.. Smith n.ade sumo further re-
marks, and concluded by moving
that the resolution be ordered to lie
on the table: which was agI eed to.

On motion of Mr.. Barbour, the
resolution was so amended, as to re-
quire that. in the cases contemplated
in the latter nart of this resolution,
the opinions of the judges should be
given separately, and recorded. The
resolution was then, on motion of

Patent Elastic Saddles.
A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part Just
and general one, and is really great grle.
vance 10 those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par.
ticulsrly to that subject. with view, 1t
possible, to remedy ths evil. tie can
with confidence assure the public that he
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means OF strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
to both rider and no Sc, than saddles made
IN the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars Of steel,
wbaIebone, &c. and alsU from those with
wire springs, and he conceves much su.
perior to either, as the elasticity is great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
rieinal form, will not be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
of in the saddles with spring bars. A
number ofgen,lemen have those saddles
now in use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF ihei,. superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable to
LADIES' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles aud superior to
most, JAh1Ee FANSAN1V

Eem she Charleston cnv Gaz,tte.

From the Charleston City Gazette:
Captain WiDkley, Of the schr. Harriet,
which sailed from Porto Rico about the
first instant, informs, that previous to his
sailing, a British frigate had arrived from
Englandby the way of Barbados, The
crew of which informed captain w. tina,
they had all been impressed on board
| said frigate, by order ofthc British ad,
miralty, for secret erhedition. The
irigate sailed shortly after her arrival a,
Porto Rico. bound as (was supposedly &c
the leeward. 1t was also stated, tina, she
! had sealed orders, which were not to be
opened until they arrived at certain lati-
,ude and longitude.
This is the way the British do bust.
| ness; their expeditions ara secret and
speedy, and their Intentions never leak
out from the mouth or pen of the unre.
hecting, nor are they proclaimed by moi.
sy preparation. This, indeed, is the
crying sin in the operations Of the Ameri.
can government. The fac, is, that as we
nave no secrets in politics, it is suppos.
ed we should have no secrets in war Dur.
ing our second struggle for independence
the British were generally informed oi
the intentions OF our government MS soon
| as our people. The cabinet kept no sc.
cret from members of congress mem.
bers OF congress kept no secret from cdi.
tors oil newspapers editors were bound
to give the people the news, and the
newspapers weie generally read by the
enemy each morning at breakfast.
AZ our governmcnt--ihat is those who
administer the govern, are responsible
to the people; as the greatest confidence
is reposcd in oui administration, and A.
there are many turns and windings in our
relations with foreign powers, " HIGH need
not be known until they emerge into
light-we do seriously think that com.
modore Porter might have rallied against
the pirates without those proclamations
which probably have put them to flight,
and without the disappointment which he
u ust experience, should he find the seas
free and the shores unoccupied by these
maurauders. Secrecy in some things
leads TO more DESPATCH. 1t is attended
With no danger to our liberties, and can
carry no slight to the sovereign people.
