nmot'on of Mr.. CAMBRELENG, the House
went Into COMMITTEE OF the Whole ON the state of
the Union MIR. Mason, Of Virginia in The Char
aud the COMMITTEE proceeded to consider the reso.
buttons of rcd by him yesterday.
The resolutions offered by Mr Adams, of Mas
sachusetts as n Substitute for tho above resolutions
were also read
MIR. CAMBRELENG said, (whcn the reporter
was able 10 hcur his voice nhove lbe general
vcrsaton of The House hat. IN order 10 procure
the unanImliy which was desirable on this ques.
ion, he would bc perfectly content to VOTE for any
notification OF the first resolution which the House
would unite upon For he same purpose he would
willingly dispense with the last resolution altogeth-
cr, because when the bill mpklre appropriations
COR ratification came up, he would make II motion
which would c more efficient than merely decla-
raory resoIat He wished, moreover, to dis
connert The Iliect from that of the Bank Of the
United $ a'es aud he assur'd the gentleman from
Massachusetts that the object Of tho Committee,
referring 80 the sale Of the Bank stock of the
Unted States, MS resource, IN rasc OF war, wes
To show to the country and 10 tcance, that wc were
ahlc If driven 10 i, to support IA war without an
immediate resort to loans ord not, as that gentle
man supposed, any poor mserobc spite agans'
lie Bank Ills object Ia Offering to assent to these
notifications was, IN part, to avoid long debate
Mr.. J. q ADAMS said, he was DESTROYS that
the resolutions oTsrcd should be considered sepo-
ralcly. The resolutions presented by the gentle
man who acts MS the Chairman OF the Committee
on Foreign Relations, proposed q system OF mea
sures dependent on each other. HIS own resOln-
ions were also connected together, and dependant
one upon ano her. II night be that the Committee
would prefer to adopt part Of his resolutions, and
n part of those Of the gentleman from New York
| lie wished, therefore, that the question might be
taken on each resolution separately, and that the
| Il S, question taken might bc on the substitution o
his first resolution for the first resolution proposec
by the gentleman.
! The CHAIR suggested that, under a rule Of The
House, the question striking ont and inserting
was no, diyisble, and that the oblec, Of the gentle
nan would be best attained by withdrawing two
Of lhc resolutions and Offering the other.
MIR. ADAMS resumed. 1t was, OF course, he
said, to Inn mater Of entire indifference how thu
object vas attained The resolutions Offered by
the gentleman from New York might perhaps
plevc to be more acceptable to the Committee thar
his own and he did NOT wish to force the Commit
tee TO lake a vote either Of the propositions as
whole. Ile therefore, moved that the frs. resolu
tn OF the eenfleman be stricken oui, mi the frs
resolution offered by himself be inserted
Mr. A. said he would state, IN few words hi
objections 10 the resolution OF Inc gentleman IRON
NV York ami the reasons which induced him Il
prefer the resolution which he hud proposed as
substitute for it, lie should say very lite Of who
he bad wished TO say, and what he believed !
nigh, he of public advantage to say, Hth're wa
time for the purrosc--bu should con6ne himself II
a very few remarks lodeed. Sir, sad Mr. A h
resolution reported by the gentleman from New
70 * begins by declaration that It ""i,i be neon
patible with the rights and honor Of the Unite
STATES further 10 negotiate III relation 10 The Treaty
, entered INTO by Frunce on the 4th Of July, lo3i
, and that The Honsr wtH insist upon ITS execution
! as raliicd by both Governmcnis.'
Sir object 10 both paris, and to the whole sub
5 stance of this resolution The situation of the tw
countries towards each other not such us 20 max
n proper q declaration that vii not negotiate wit
f France. This arises from principle of nationo
law When nation IN the midst of Il conirovers
/ with another, s,ys viii no longer negotiate, III
4 only alternative compatible W h its honor a'd in
terests IS Il IS no, proper, therefore, that thi
Q House should d. clare that there should be no fu
. lhcr negotiation. Sir negotiation implies no conccs
o sion. My resolutions are so drawn as to deelar
that there shall be concession on our part upo
. this point. My resolutions declare,th II tho right
