Ms-. Williams obfcrvcd-th.s.r the ferie of the committee would be firft taken upon the propriety of into the measure ; if there was a majority in favor of it (and he could not doubt it) the matter would be re ferred to a felr£k commit tee, who would make their report upon it. Mr. «*>._ Smith was in favour of going in to this in Enrope, he thought it probable we might be Artrwn into it. Mr. Sv/an v/jck should not be opposed to the pref.nt motion, because he agreed with the gentleman from Maryland, that whilst the war continued in Europe there was a a probability of this country being drawn in to the vortex. But he there was some \Vaight also in the obfervatjon of the gentleman from Virginia, with refpeft to the wayaand means ; because if, after they should agree to carry into effect certain mea ftires, they should disagree about the means their time would-have been spent to no pur pose. • Tha question was put and earned, there being 62 votes in favour of it. Mr. W. Smith moved the second Re fohition. Mr. Nicholas wished to know whether the provision already made for completing the three frigates was not fufficient ? Mr. \V. Smith said he had no informa tion on the fubjeft ; he had inserted the word + nrrb!(ting as well a3 manning, left there fhou!d"be ahy deficieecy. Mr. Otis was not prepared, in so rapid a way, to press resolutions of this import ance, without having them printed, or time to deliberate upon them. If he voted for these resolutions, he should consider himfelf as pledged to carry them into effect. He therefore, hoped the committee would rife. Mr. Macon was opposed to this resoluti on. He did not believe that seamen could Y>e got to man the vessels, as nearly four times the price was paid for seamen's wages that was paid when the lawforbuilding these Vessels passed. Mr. Rutledge was in favor of the com -1 Vttee's rising. Mr. Nicholas had no objection to the committee's rising, if gentlemen wished it ; iffo, he hoped the resolution agreed to would be reported. He wished the principle of the different resolutions, however, to be fettled in a committee of the whole. Mr. Craik, Mr. Claiborn, Mr. Var- HVM, and Mr. Coit were in favor of the committee's rising. Mr. Swan wick thought it would be belt that a committee should be appointed to re port on the business. Mt. S. Smith saw no reason for the <ommittee's riling, because if gentlemen were not prepared to vote upon this resolu tion, they might go on to others. Tho' Jie should vote in favour of this propofition< he should not hold himfelf bound to vote ul timately for the bill, if he disliked it. The motion for the committee to rife was withdrawn, and afterwards renewed by Mr, M'Dowell, who also withdrew it, on a suggestion from Mr. Livingston that the resolution would be less objectionable to run, " that a committee be appointed to enquire into the propriety of &c. and when the com mittee had the business referred to them, they could possess themselves of all the ne eeflary fafts, and report them to the house. Mr. Gallatin said, if the queflioa wis to determine the principle of manning the frigates, the resolution lti»d right as it was ; but if it were not intended, by adopting this resolution, to commit any man, bat only to fay, tli.it they would take the business into conficieration, and if found urefill and neceflary, and funds were attainable, rhey wwuld carry it into effect, then the amendment of the ge-stleman from Wew- Virk (Mr. Livingfton) would be proper. As tothe committee's rising, hec ould fee no ground for it, as these propositions were not new they had had them before jhem for three weeks in tbHpsrcb of the I'refident j of coorfe, so far Xs related to the frigates, gentlemen mull have formed an opinion, yet lie agreed that it was desirable t& fee finite documents on the fubjefl, before a decided affirmative or negative was gifrfn'. lie Was therefore in favour of ihe A raendment for a committee to be appointed. He wifhtd all those fubje£ts which were of a t'oubt'i;! nature be thus determined. On the other haflrr r e upon which members were ready to 1 at 6nce, either by an ac ceptance or rejeC..uii, might- be vcted upon in the form in which they were introduced. Mr. Pamcik. read the motion which was en tered into lift year, and thought it would be a good model for the present. Mr. W. Smith was of a different opinion: he thought the committee should firii decide the ahftrait principle. lie thought it would be wrong to refer to a felcdl committed a business in which every member was so intimately inter red, and he doubted not gentlemen were rea dy to decide upon this abftraft question. With regard lo espcnfe, he was of/opinian, that if thofituation of the country required it, that, should be no obje<ft, If gent lemen though: dif ferent y, they would of course negative thepro poCtion. Any information on the fubjefl, could be got before the business was finifhed. He thought they fhoyjd firft fay what were itie necefTary objects of expense, and then provide the money, which might be done by borrowing or by taxes. If thert was a necessity for the rxprnfe, there was no doubt the money would bo raised. If gentlemen were not prepaied to difrufs the fubjeet, he had rio objeilion to the fcmm'ttee.'s Tifing, and, in the Honfe, the Secretary 15 War, ntight be called upon for in lofmati<ui. Mr. N ichouas thought the question was I not fairly preftnted. It was whether they fhouid man the frigates. But when rhey were called upon to determine this ; they ihould know w hen. they would be ready to receive the men. The probability was, that the frigates wouUi i.pt.l>4 ready to receive the irum before the next fcfiion of Congress. Mr. Dayton (thefpeaker) was in favour of the original proposition. He wifhfrd to provide fcr tnannmg all the frigates which could begot r<*ady before the next lefiion'of Congref*. He 1 itYed if they adopted this plan, unneeeflary Oelay woujd he prevented* Mr. PAKKkR was ready to vote for the pro portion of the gentleman from S. Carolina. He helieyed the frigite in Philadelphia, might be equipped, ripped and manned in three months." Tbc only reason why he var>ed hi«mot'>n was that he might include the nrxt propofiticn ; but bel>efieved it w*uM be be tu* so** them to Ifcand separate, as be? »?e he votft for t.'ie acMi ♦ion,:! vcffcls, he jhcuhl **i/h t ; > k:io«r h:w the oitar.s uere fcr wh.it purpose they u«jre to be afrij. The vefTef at 80,10r., hi would net be read yTo soon, but 1 -it would *e in before the next meeting of Con <Trefs ; that at Baltimore would be in readiness to menin>four months, „ Smith said, the f. igite at Balttfltore, would be iawnchcal the 4th of Tuiy, and the equipments were in greater for wardaefs than those for the frigate a£ Philadel phia. Mr. Baldwin was agaaift referring this propefition to a ieiefi com.nittee. It would be defirahle, in.leed, to know what the coit of {leing the business would be, but every one knew how little to be rehed upon were estimates of this kind. He was ready to vote for manning of the frigates ; indeed, there wis ho question upon which he was so ready to fay apt, as upon this. The question was about to be put on Mr. Livingftoni motion, when Mr. Varnum said he thought the wording of the resolution improper, as the word corn pleating would clafti with the a a of last session. The question was put and negatived, 50 to 34. Mr. Macon wished the frigates to bo completed, but not manned, he therefore moved to flrike out the words u and manning." The question was put and negatived—there being only 24 vo.es in favor of it. Mr. Giles moved to strike out the word 44 com pletirJg; ' but, after some converfatron, the moiion was withdrawn, and the original resolution was car ried Ihe third proportion next came under considera tion. Mr. Nicholas hoped the gentleman who introd'ic- * cd this motion would tell them for what purpose these additional vessels were wanted. He supposed this resolution to be conne<sled with the next, and if so, he thought they should be considered together. he asked. were to be the i u6lions given to the commanders of these veflels ? He thought it a very embarrafling bufinefs,*ahd one that would cer tainly lead to war; hay, indeed, the thing seemed to be a war operation in itfelf. Mr. W. imith wished the geirtleinan had made his enquiries before.. 1 hey would have come morepre perly when the frigates were under confidei ation, as ihe fameobje£tion would lie against both; as the next refoNitiori had no more connexion with this than \*ith that already agreed to The gent leman felmed to have let go the opportunity of calling upon him ; as, however, he did not wifti toevade (tho' he was not willing to fay he would hiinfelf vote <or the measure) he would .fay, that it appeared to him, from the present Hate of the commerce < t this coun try, to bi necefTary to provide convoys for our veflels These veflels might not, indeed, be employed as a ie gular convoy, but partly confined to ihe coasts sfnH harbours. This was a separate question ; or it mighr be left to the executive to employ them as he fee proper. He was nor, however, ready to opinion on the fubjeft. He rose principally to re mark upon what had fallen from the gentleman last up, as to employing a convoy being an aft of war He owned he had not lookrd deeply into the fubjett at present, but he recolletted in our treaty with Sue-, den, there was a stipulation, that when both powers were neutral, they should protett each Other's com merce. Mr. Giles thought this a very extraordinary mea sure. He called the attention of the committee to the critical fuuation of Europe, and thought, before they went into any expensive operations, they should wait the iflue of the negociation, cfpecially as he supposed it was probable a full feflion might be ne ceflary. It had been said several of the ports in the Weft Indies were in a blockaded and rebellious flare. He did not suppose it was the intention of the com mittee, by means of a convoy, to p <f& a trade to those ports; this would be a certaiu means of pro voking war. He thought they ought to make a paufc —as it was probable tkat in less than four months from this time they might again be in feflion, and, in the mean while, the affairs of Europe might have taken such a turn as to do away the ne'.eflhy of go ing into hostile measures. Mr. Nicholas expe&ed the gentleman'from South Carolina would have acknowledged that the two resolutions were connected. Indeed he must have intended these veflels to be employed in th : s way, or such a resolution would not have been in troduced With refpe& to Sweden's treaty for a reciprocal convoy, there was some ground for it, a* there was a difference betwixt the northern pow ers of Europe as to the principle of free ships mak ing free goods—but where tm-re was no difference as to principle, no fu h thing could take place. Mr. Gallatin said the prefect resolution was certainly i" some degree connected with the n xt. It was understood that the purchasing of frigates ; and fioops of war w-s for the purpose of convoy ing our. trade. Under the prefstnc clrcumftances j of this cowntry he should be oppt fed to this pro portion ; not that he denied the right of neutral powers to afford convoys vo their merchants' ves sels ; but because under present circumflances it was impolitic to adopt th<* measure, not only for the reasons urged by the gentleman from Virginia, : but on account of our Ctuation with refpedl to 1 Franoe at the present moment. By our treary with ; France enemy property was to be refpedetf cn board American vessels, and certain articles used in the ! building of (hips were exempted from the lift of j contraband the l'refident would of course be o- ! bliged to give orders to have our vessels prote&ed in this lituation, and who eould not fee that this would be the source of war ? And if the convoy were not to be employed to enforce these two pri vileges, he did not fee what use it could be of. * He knew that depredations without number had been committed in the Weft-Indies; but he was led to believe they wer« done by pirates rather than by any other vessels. But suppose it were pra&icable to drrtinguifh betwixt piratical and regular captures, yet, he must confefs, he would not be for running the risk of a rupture, by fending out aimed vessels to contest the point, especially when we have rea son to believe that these attacks are unauthorized by the French Government Mr. G. thought it would he necessary to extend our na.vy in cafe of war only ; and were this un happily to be our lituation, vessels might easily be put-chafed without delay : hut whilst we were at peace, Jie did not think the advantages which could be derived from a convoy, would be a fufficient in ducement to go int«rthe measure. Bef:de3 he was 'induced by another motive to give this propofltion his negative. He knew the depredations on our commerce had been great; but he did nWlook up oh this-lofs as fallen only upon merchants. There was not an individual who did not bear a part of it. For inftancc, if a merchant paid 10or 15 percent, additional upon his cargo, he will put a proportion ably high price upon his commodities, which mult eventually be paid by the consumer. Therefore, fo'far as an argument might be drawn from this circumstance, it became a question of expediency, and ha thought it would be granted that the ioi's ta individuals would be lefi iu this way than if they had tofupport a navy to protect our trade. Mr. W.Smith acknowledged there was consi derable weight in the arguments of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, though he did not find fuflici' ent to induce him to change his opinion. The gentleman from Virginia had endeavoured to (hew that a? there was no difference oi opinion as to prin* ciple betwixt Trance and this country, the regula tions entered into with Sweden did not apply ; whiift the gentleman from Penrfjrlvania had pro duced afgumenrs to fcew that we were in that fi tua'ion. With rcfpe& to the treaty articles in dif pute, it would be an easy matter, Mr. S. said, for the PrefiJent to give the commanders of our veflels proper inftru&ions on that head. And would any gentleman fay it was not right to defend our vessels agai 11ft pirate* t Would not the French fay, if they were applied to for rodrefs, «' You knew these w. re piratev why did ypu oot defend youj-felves against them r The which seems f» much to a'.arcrgentlemen, fhfculd be put out of the ques tion , said he : if your property is unjustly att-ck cd, will you defend it ? • But it was said thj loss did not fall ucna the 1 merchant, Jjwt upifn t'ie eonfunier. Mr 5 aTert i en its'.'l i:;ibn tile c»antrv ; and so far fr.im the ' of the J 1 . J the left sustained by captures, it wonld not, in his opinion, be atmthpart of the'amonnt; forwhat- I ever the p'.undecers got, tt, -, mi ry loft- Mr. S. said h- had niadi? a rou»h Calculation of v/hat woald be the eipenfe of thtee frigates of 16 guns, aiiu 6 sloops of war of 16 ?uns, anJjfmnd it to '.e 916, 00c dollar., including thoequipment and mai.nii g far or.e year' Rut, fii! Mr. P. doe« not the farmer by these fioliations ? Hecrrtsinly does ; for, if the merchant was obliged to pay an extriva pinr hifiiranee, he would pive the tefs for the farmer's produce; bjt, he, the expense of the frigates, 'will be no loss |oth? country, 53, it they eoft a million of dollars, the jvh.de | u ill be paid to our arn citizens, every article ■ used in tie building of these veflels being the ■ produce of the United States. j But gentlemen complain of our impa -1 tience in the business ; he thought the ! wrongs we had fuffered fufficicnt to rouse our I refentmetit. It was also said, that theise was : a probability of peace, and why go on with : this Sxpence ? But he might as well fay, I there was no probability of peace. One supposition would Hand againll the other. ; Indeed, who knew that the Czar of Russia would not join the coalition againll France. | A hope of peace, therefore, was not a fuffi ciently liable ground upon which to calcu late. We mull, said he, either interdict all trade, fufifer merchants vefTels to arm, or go into the measure proposed. Bu it was said that France had declared certain Britilh ports in the Weft Indies blockaded and ;n a state of rebellion, and therefore, we mull not trade with them, but he did not know why our vefTels Ihould be subject t i be taken, and our seamen to be hung, because they chose to make these de clarations. Declarations, which he trusted this country would never acknowledge. What, said Mr. S. will be the conse quence of jiegociating without taking any measure of defence ? It will put it in the power of France to make requisitions on us to any amount she she may spin out the negociation, by throwing difficulties in the way of it; (lie may take all our vefTels ; "Jlnd, when (he has drained us of all our wealth, it wjll be said, we mujl fulmit. — \Vhere will then be your privateers ? Your vefTels are taken, and your seamen gone ! The gentleman from Pennsylvania admit ted the right of neutral powers to convoy their vefTels : That gentleman put the mat ter upon the expediency of the thing, which was the true ground upon which he wished to have it difcufied. Mr. Giles said the gentleman from South Carolina talked of defenfive measures, but his plans were offenfive. That gentleman had undertaken to doubt the right of France to declare her ports, Rebel ports. Was this defenfive ? Every nation had this right. It was pot long since Great Britain exerci sed it againll us. Yet, aided by a convoy, he wished to push our trade to these ports. This would not only be hazarding the peace of the country, but taking the diredi road to war. Mr. Baldwin said, in all their determina tions, with refpe£t to a naval force, however great' the emergency, it had always been de termined to build, rather than to purchase vefTels, and he saw no reason from departing from this mode, in the present instance. After some objections from Mr. W. Smith to the building plan, which he said would take three or four years to furnifn the prd pofed vefTels, whereas merchants vefTels might be immediately purchased, which would answer the purpoTe of small frigates, tbe Committee rose, reported the two rcfo lutions, which the House took up and agreed to, and Committees were appointed to report upon tliem by bill or otherwise. A message was received from the, Senate, with two bills which had passed that HouTe, viz. a bill for prohibiting for a limited time, the exportation of arms and ammunition, and encouraging the importation thereof; and a bill to prevent citizens of the United States from privateering against natipns in amity with, or against citizens of the Uni ted States. Both which were twice read, and committed to Committees of the Whole to-morrow. Adjourned. %\)t <2>a3ette* PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1797. The brig Mary, Capt.
