men who surrender every jot of principle for ambition and interest it arisrs from all legsls- ton being perverted tO selfish objects. and the galing chains of party discipline taking pre- cedence of love of liberty, 8 respect fer the laws. and veneratiOn for the constitution.

 MT. Clnu's Report.-The following synop- sis of this Report is furnished by the Wash ington correspondent Ot the NY. Com. Adv. -o Boston Gaz.
 The Report expressed an entire concurrence of opinion with the President relative fO the justice of our claims upon lhe French Gnv- ernn,ent, and reviewed at length their origin. and the policy which had been resOrted to to procure redress. The committee also con- cur with. the President tn the opinion that the anunn; stipulated tO be paid by the French falls far short ofthe just claims of nUr citizens, including damages. but was cheerfully asqui- esced in as a restOrer. of harmony between the two countries.
 The committee further agree with the Ex- ecutive that acquiesceDce in the refusal 10 ful- fl the sipulations of the treaty is not for a mornent to be tolerated. The report, how ever, expresses decided reluctance to enter into conflict with our ancient ally, towards whom the people of this country have ever cherished the kindest sentiments. It next proceeds tO a critical analysis of the cores pOHdence preceding the caiy-shOwing that the King of France had acted in good faith. and that nur Minister had beep made aware of the difficulties in the way of its consumma- ton. This being the case. the committee deem it net only unjust to the French Govern ment, but impoIitic, and unwise as respects the claimants themselves. to throw obstacles in the way of the success of the Kings exer lions, by the adoption of rash and hasty meas ures, even contingentty, which might convert some of the warm friends in the Chambers into bitter enemies of the claims.
 The Committee likewise proceed to con sider the policy of the President in acting up- l on the subject without waiting the issue of 1 further proceedings in the French Chambers. Hunt atier q NetO- Jersey Jusiice.-Tt will be remembered, that one of the persons impEca l ted in the acts of piracy at Barncgat Inlet. was Justice of the Peace! and that he sue ceeded. by precipitate flight, in escaping at the time those now in prison were taken. On "Wednesday afternoon, the Marshal. (Gen. l Dacy of this town, received information from friend. that the worthy magistrate, (Win. Platt, Esq) supposing all danger over. had freturned to his residence. He accordingly set ont the same evening. in company with MT. l.. A. Sykes, who volunteered for the oc- casion, to wait upon him.
 In consequence of detention at Hightstown, they did not reach the coasf.-a distance Of 50 miIes,-untii after daylight, which of course betrayed their expedition to the neigh bOrhood, aifnrding the guilty an opportunity to escape. The Justice escaped from his house just as the party drove up, and took to an extensive, barren forest which hegins with in a few rods of the house.
 The Marshal, with Mr. Sykes. discovering his track in the snow, pursued 1t fUr about 8 miles. nleandering in every direction through almost impenetiable thickets of scrub oaks, ptuCSs uuu UTtUTSs AS tHcVG tS very SUOW in that vicinity, not exceeding an inch Or two any where. they found it extremely difficult at times to trace him. but they at kngth spird him al a distance, and soon brought him to a stand. He, presented a,doublc- -barrelled pis- tOl. and in the most furious manner threaten ed death to the man who should arrest him. He was advised to cool his rage, and finding that the gentlemen, being themselves armed. were neither intmidated nor disposed to do him any personal injury. in few moments yielded his pistol, and submitted to an arrest. i
 The party quietly reiraced their steps tD 1 the house, where our worthy Magistrate claimed the privilege of bail, aad gave good and sufficient security in the sum of four ttou- sand dollars for his appearance at Court.
 We are informed as soon as ihe party Grst 1 reached the neighborhoOd, the females were 1 seen running in all directions to sound the a. larm. by which means others who are iinpli- | cated entirely escaped. Gen. Dacy and Mir. | Sykes returned to town about daybreak this morning, having been absent two nights and | day.-N Nes0ark Daiiy Advertiser.
