Mr. C; would »flf, ih his turn, what those , ' frlcndt of order, theXnfteTß States, had done " infupport of th* Constitution ? They had, '* h« knew, been the meant of procuring for tfe country a Britift* Treaty, which was ' likely to involve u» in war, and they were "now endeavouring to make all the branches «f government dependent upon the execu -Ir"tiVe. H* did not thank them for fUth support. - As'to whit had been said about addrcfiing tbs galleries, and the people out of doors, be believed it was perfeftly right that the people ftrohhi be well informed of what they, their representatives, were doing, except tbey were to be lookedupon as a ftnfelejs * herd, of whom it was not necessary to take iny notice. He wished there were no mo -1 rives in the house left pure than these. For * his part,' be refpeSed the fovefeighty of the people, and wilhtd to remain no longer in _ tbat house than whilst he spoke their sense. The gentleman from Connecticut had spo ken in high terms, of the late President. He hid hipfelf an high opinion of that gentleman, and so had his constituents. It waSt-ue, they disapproved ».f some things ' that he had done, and were sorry that he V hid do»e"tHeUS. As to the gentleman who now fills the presidential «hair, be viewed " him as a great arid good man ; but he be ' lieved all men to be fallible. When he did things which ought, in his opinion, to be ; approved, he fn6uld approve them ; and when he aft<d c'ontrarily, he ihonld con demn them. He believed that, in his state there were neither prejudices agai aft, nor in favour, of either the late or the present President. Bat the gentleman frpm Connefticct, to •nnrui ne ii3<r ainjßcu, TKjs was a pleating word ; but it appeared to him as if some gentlemen wished rather to (hake the union to its centre. His own mind, however, acquitted him of any thing that Ivad net ia view the good of the people. He wished to preserve the harmony of the union ; he would hazard every thing to preserve it—because he believed " that h •, sited we (land, but divided we fall." If gentlemen would withhold their ill natured sarcasms, members might unite to do the business of the union for which they were sent. He adtrtonifhed them to talk no more of faclkus diforganizert, ft tile minori ties, democratic clubs, &c. if they wished for union and concord—but that they did •wish this, with him was doubtful. If they do not, however, said he, let them speak •ut, and then they will be underllood. Such charges,every one knew were unfound ed, and being so, tbeyjcould not be expect ed to y.« with temper. No rebellious kead had ever Been p o towmac. If a rebellious rascal was to n t . pear there, he would not be fuffered to live. He knew this to be the cafe in the quarter he had mentioned, and he believed the fame rtight be said of the ftatet of Maryland and Delaware ; and though the people of the soUthern states bad' been loaded with all the foul epithets which could be imagined, he believed they would be found the props of the constitution. For his own part, he would facrifice his life to preserve it. , ( Debate to be continued.) THWRSDAr—— MARCH 8.

I j '5 Resolved, that the committee of ways I | and means be inftrufted to report a bill al- I 1 tering the time of entering Stills from the I nionth of June to the months of August and I oeptemher." It Mr. D. said his reasons for making this I 1 motion were these. He found the Secreta- ( f? of the Treasury had objeftions to the do- e irig away the annual entry of Stills, as he | e looked upon this regulation as eflential to r the security of the colleftion of the revenue, I d and to a due control of Colleftors. Mr. D. ( found the committee of ways and means had IP differed in opinion from the Secretary of the Treasury, and had reported a bill, which P had been found to contain proviiions more I f< • objtftionable than the annual entry. As C( h« believed it would be impoflible to do a- 0 V.-3J the annual entry, he wished to make t( such alterations in it, as should make itlefc d objefticnabie. He believed this would be t! tffefted by altering the time of making the entry in the mariner proposed bytherefolu- c: tion which he had offered to the house, as 31 in those months distillers had occasion to jpi take cut their licences, and they could make I m V. £ !tr y required at the fame time.

We did not notice the death of this gentle men in our lad papers, from a wish to pro cure the best information in oarpowercjf the real cause of this event, which was' occafi ' oned by an unfortunate dispute between the deceased and Lord Camelford, upon the right of commanding at English Harbour. Lord' Camelford, as w,e are informed, commanded his majefty'* sloop of war, thit Favourite, by virtue of an order or warrant from admiral Harvey, and Mr. Peterfon, although an older lieutenant than lord Ca melford, had lately served on board that ship under his command : but having, been removed t* the Perdrix, and lord Camel ford not haring a com miflion as master and commander, being then at English harbour, supposed himfelf to be the commanding of. ficc ' 5 atW under that idea, ifTued some or ders to lard Camelford, which were an fwcred by other ordert from lord Camelford to Mr. P. terfon. Upon Mr Peterfon'srcfufal to obey thefc orders, a lieutenant with a party of msrines were sent to put him arrest, and Mr. Peter fon prepared f, r refinance, ordering the crew of the Perdrix to am in hi* defence, but before uiy conflidt rook place, lord Ca melford arrived, went up to Mr Pettrfon demiiuVd if lit woulj obey his orders or not, and upon helng arifwered in tinc, immediately fliot him dead upon the spot. An inquetl was taken by the coroner on the next day ; but the juiy not being wil ling.to take upon theißfelves the determina tion of the quetion upon wjiom the Com mands English harbour haddeyolved,found only that the deceased had been (hot by Jord Camelford, in coniequepee of a mutiny. It is much to be lamented that the right ' of commanding in the marine service, Ihould not have been as well afcettained, nor at least as generally known, as it is in the ar my. If Lord Camelford was really the commanding officer, his conduit, we un derhand, is juftifiable in point of law ; but if the command during the absence of anr po„ captain, or.master and commander, had devolved upon Mr. Pfterfoit, lord Camel ford will of conrfe he liable to be tried for the crime |of mntiny, by a court-martial, where the privilege of his peerage cannot \ va,i J ! 11 ™ 5 and there c,n no doubt but that ftrjdt jultiee will be done.
