We understand he was allow ed to be heard by council this day, to lhew why he ought not to be expelled from his feat in the house. Thereportofthe Committee of the House of Representatives on Mr. Blount's business was debated yesterday. It concluded with an opinion that he ought to be impeached of high crimes, and misdemeanors. The sub ject was adjourned to this day. 1 This forenoon, the House of Represent atives adopted the Report of their Com mittee, nrm. con. relative to Mr. Blount, —m conlequence of which, the House, in a body, carried up to the Senate, an Im peachment against him, of High Crimes and Mifdemcanours. In Senate of the United States, July 6, 1797. The committee to whom was referred that part of the President's message which relates to a letter purporting to have been written by Willam Blount, one of the Senators from the State of Tennessee, to gether with the papers accompanying the fame, having had the fame under their con federation, beg leave to make a farther re port. That Mr. Blount having declined an ac knowledgement or denial of the letter impu ted to him ; and having failed to appear or give any fatisfaitory explanation refpeiling it, your committee sent for the original let ter whifh accompanies this report, and is in the following words.. ( See yesterday's Gazette.) Two Senators now present in the Senate, have declared to the committee that they are well acquainted with the hand writing of Mr. Blount, and have no doubt that this letter was written by him, your committee have examined many letters from Mr. Blount to the Secretary of War, a number of which are herewith submitted as well as the let ter addressed by Ms. Blount to Mr. Cocke his colleague in the Senate, and to this com mittee refpefting the business now under confederation ; and find them all to be of the fame hand writing with the letter in question. Mr. Blount has never denied this letter, iSit on the other hand, when the copy transmitted to the Senate was read in his presence on the 3d inft. he acknowled ged in his place that he had written a letter to Carey of which he had preserved a copy, but could not then decide whether the copy read was a true one. Your committee are fully persuaded that the original letter now produced was written and sent to Carey by Mr. Blount. They also find that this man, Carey, to whom it was-addreffed, is, to the knowledge of Mr. Blount, in the rpay and employment of the United States, as their interpreter to the Cherokee Nation of Indians and an assistant in the public Fac tory at Tellico Blockhouse. That Haw kins who is so often mentioned in this letter as a person who mull be brought into suspi cion among the Creeks and if possible dri ven from his station, is the Superintendant of Indian affairs for the United States among the Southern Indians—Dinfmore »is agent for the United States in theCherokee nation, and Byets, one. of the agents in the public Factory at Tellico Blockhouse. The plan hinted at in this extraordinary letter to be executed under the auspices of tie British, is so capable of different con ftruilions and conjectures that your commit tee at present forbear givingany decided ion refpeiting it; except that taMr. Blount's own mind it appeared to be inconsistent with I | the interests of the United States and of j Spain, and he wis therefore anxious to con ceal it from both. Bat when they consider ed his to seduce Carey from his du ty as a faithful interpreter and to employ him as an »-ngine to alienate the affeitioas and confidence of the Indians frotA the pub lic officers of the United States residing among them ; the measures he has proposed to excite a temper which mull produce the recall or expulsion of our fuperintendant from the Creek, nation, his insidious advice tending to the advancement of his own po pularity and consequence at the expense and hazard of the good opinion which the Indi ans entertain of this government and of the treaties fubfiftihg between us and them ; your committee have no doubt that Mr. Blount's conduit has been inconsistent with his public duty, renders him unworthy of a further continuance of his present public trull in this body, and amounts to a high misde meanor. They therefore unanimously re commend to the Senate an adoption of the following resolution. Resolved, That William Blount, Esquire, one of the Senators of the United States having been guilty of a high misdemeanor intirely inconsistent with his public trust and duty as a Senetor, be, and he hereby is ex pelled from the Senate of the United States.

" These scruples or objections are, firft, That in his opinion the forts ought to be demolilhed ; 2d. That he thought it neceflfa ry to continue his force in that quarter till the claims of Spanilh fubje£ls to land should be adjulled by negociation. " As to the firft, our officer may be in ftruited to agree to the demolition of the works if infilled on. As to the second, he will affurethe governor that he is authorized to fay, that no person shall be disturbed in his possession or property till an opportunity has been afforded to apply to Congress, and that they may rely upon their claims being adjusted upon.the moll equitable principles. " It is to be presumed, that on receiving these explanations, the SparJfh garrisons will be withdrawn. If, however, contrary to expedlation, this ftiould not happen our officer is to take a secure position, but not so near them as to give any cause to the Spanilh garrisons to apprehend insult or injury."— [No. ll.] Ext rail of a letter from the Secretary cf War, to Captain Isaac Guion, commanding a de tachment of the Troops of the United States, defined for the Natchez, dated IVar-Of fce, June lOth, 1797.
