, might have averted the fate which il
the opinion of all awaited him undel
the aggravated circumstances of his case
and in the absence of sufficient proof O
his naturalization as an American. Thi.
however he refused to accede to. Or
the FIRST occasion of his being brought
on deck, he refused to take share il
any part OF the duty; nor could the re.
monstrances of the officers, the heavy
ldenunciation of vengeance or the menaces
of instant death from the captain, make
him swerve from his resolution. The
latter wound up to the highest pitch oil
anger by such a pertinacious example
of disobedience in the face of the whole
ships company, at length ordered his
pistol to be brought, and threatened to
blow his brains out for mutiny, if he
continued any longer refractory; this
however produced as little effect. While
the captain was actually stamping with
rage, and alternately threatening to hang
or shoot him, the prisoner with the
most intripid GOODNESS and self possession
addressed him thus: s'Captain--,
am an American citizen: you have nc
right to detain me; am i'll your power,
it is true, and you may shoot or do what
else you please, with me, but / am de-
termined never more to touch rope or
do stroke of duty in your ship" |
have never seen an instance of greater
determination than this man exhibited.
Though fully alive to his critical situa-
ton he remained firm and mistaken as a
rock, till at length he was once more
ordered below. Here, before the gun
room bulk head, Immediately under the
main hatch way ladder, he remained
several months in double irons. Our
distance from head quarters, constantly
cruising, prevented an opportunity for
his trial. This day proved fortunate for
W. Time at length brought a
termination to his sufIcrings. The pro-
motion and appointment Of the captain
some months after to frigatc, caused a
relaxation to hisrigorous treatment, and
finally led to his release and discharge
from the service,

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

Mr.. Ciagton submitted the following:
Resolved, That the Committee Manu-
features be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pediency of distributing the public lands, or
the proceeds thereof, among the several
States on equitable principles.
Mr. Clayton supported this resolution in a
speech of considerable. length. He justified
the reference on the ground that the other
subjects connected with the public lands ha-
wing been referred to that committee, the
Senate could not consistently refuse to al
low the whole subject to be committed to
them. He advocated the rights of all the
States to participate in the territory acquir-
cd by the blood and treasure Of all inthe va
rious wars and treaties which have taken
place since the Constitution was adopted
He spoke at length in support of the refer
cnce, and considered that the object OF those
who had supported the reference yesterday
of the subject to that committee, was to en-
| list the members coming from the new state:
| in the ranks Of the opposition to the 1 arm,
| by holding out the inducement that they
should receive in consequence the exclusive
benefit of those lands. He also argued tha
one important effect of dividing the proceeds
of the lands among the States would be tt
reduce the dangerous and increasing intiu
ence of Executive patronage,
Mr.. Poinde.rter moved to strike out 'th'
Committee on Manufactures, and mser
'the Committee on Public Lands.
| On motion by Mr.. Hayne, the resolution
and amendments were laid on the table.

IN SENATE. -----Mafch %.


After the usual morning business,
Mr.. TpitkinS asked the gentleman from
Delaware (Mr. Clayton) whether lie. wa,
willing to take up the apportonment bill al
this time. 1t was subject of great interest
to the country: and the Legislatures of many
States were waiting decision and there
fore he was anxious that the subject should
be disposed Of as soon as it could be done
conveniently.
Mr.. Clayton had no objection to have the
Iquestion decided at any time when the SEN
ate was full; but, as it was question of great
Importance to the country, and one inwhich
every member should have an opportunity
to rec nd lis vote, be would observe that his
|collcagu, together with some other members
were absent, who were DESTROYS to be pres
ent when the final question was taken, and
who would be in their places in few days.
He hoped, therefore, that the gentleman
would not press the subject at this time.
After some debate by Messrs. WikkinS,
Irf6Stcr, Marcy, Backher, Clayton, Smith,
Forsyth, Foot, and Holmes the question was
put ON taking up the bill, and decided in
the negative by large majority.
On motion Of Mr. Clay, the Senate then re-
sumed the consideration ofthe resolution re-
lating to the 7ari6:: MIR. Forsyth with
drew his motion to postpone it to the LIST Of
May. 1t was finally referred to the Com
mittce on Manufactures. Yeas, 81 Nays,
