In committee of the whole, on the bill fur ther to I'ufpeud oiir commercial intercourfc with France, tire motion of Mr. Gallatin to strike out the remainder of the fifth feftion bein<s under confid. ration, Mr. Sewall said' lie hid heard no reason given tor the striking out of this feclion which had any weight upon his mind. It is no more than the exercise of a right which every commercial country poffefles of regu lating its commerce in such a manner a» ap. pears to be for their interest. It is an inter nal, and not an external regulation, which does not aff'fit any other country, except incidentally. The countries alluded to have regulated their commerce in the moll arbi trary manner with refpt ft to us ; when they chute to receive our dour or fait provisions, they jay so, but this is only when it i'uits their convenience. Nor is this ever conlid ered by us as acaufe of ofF.nre'j 011 the con trary, v; have always coniVderi'd ourselves as bound ro fab.nit to them. This he tho't a fulucieiu argument ap,i.inft all that had Ixxn laid as to tiiis rejuiitiov being a caufc of t>*iei:c.v ; Mr. S. would, hflwcvet, if he were not prevented- by the present motion, move to exclude tfcs cales of building, repairing or equipping of vessels in the ports described in this fcclion. Theff, be thought, ought not to l- considered as Ciufes of offence. Ik fidet, in iuch caKs it would be found impof fihls to ox-cute the law, as it would oe iui poilible to alcertain for what purpose vtflels are building. Tlie law would, therefore, be eonfbuntly evaded ; but there is a cafe which ought to be confideitd is ofienfive to us, and which ou2;ht to be prevented. He meant the refitting of wfTels captured by French priva teers, in 'jpaniih and Dutch ports, which is not allowed by the, law of nations; and if such practices are faildtioned by treaty, it. is a treaty injurious to us j and the party hav ing made it, mufl take their choice, whe ther they will ab.de by &ch flipulatior.s, and lose our commerce, or give up their treaty, and accept of our trade. Mr. S. believed, if pra&ices cf the kind he had mentioned were prevented, the others would also cease, as if the French were not allowed to rent their prizes, they would not carry them into those islands. < : Mr. S. Smith said he meant to have risen for the puYpofe of proposing an amendment <jf the knd which the gentleman from Mas fachufetts had mentioned ; and he tr'ufted the • gentleman from Pennsylvania would have ' the candor to withdraw his motion for the '' ■ ■•purpose of admitting this amendment, as he W"'i might afterwards move to strike out the fec ti®n, if he did not like it. That gentleman feeriied to found his principal objection to thefe'&ion on itspofublyaSf cling New-Or feirts i -bat nvhen he recolledled that that r '•'' port could nevtr become a resort for priva teers, as they csmld not, with any fort of • "■ eonvenifcnee, get up to it, he hoped his ob " jeftion to the fe£tion on this actount would be done away. This law would principally • v ' : apply to the ports of the Havanna, which an.- ea'fy of access, and which are ccmftantly u • fed as harbors for privateers-on our commerce. Coats, said he, lie under the Moro Castle, and when our veflels pnfs bv, they row out and carry them in,' and frequently proceed to feW then without trial, since ifiue of a trial under the government of Hedouville was not quite so certain, as it Was under Santhonax. Mr. S. said he had hitnfelf fuffered in this way, one of his vedels having been carried In and fold without trial. The question for flriking out the feftion was put and negatived 49 to 38. Mr. Sewall then proposed his amendment fcY confining tile operation of the bill to pla ces to which our velfels captured by French privateers fliall be allowed to be sent or car ried in, and there condemned or fold.—.Car- Tied. On fttggeftion of Mr. Egglefton, Mr. due notice to be given in cases of proclama tions fer the; fufpeniion of intercourse. Tiie bill having been gone through, Mr. Egglefton renewed the motion which not be admitted, proposing that neutral vef 4'<<h might be hired for the purpose of carry, iiig our commerce. It was negatived, 21 votes only being for it. Oa motion of Mr. S. Smith, the limita tion clanf-' Wat amended, so as to confine the •pcratioir of this law to the 3d of March, - JQfed-- " - took 4®' 'gj#v. vgtfefa,halt few 4j!4-eed to*: ; ;-t ■., out WQ&fci' ahtl called the yds "ft.'"""" J ~** ":. Mr. S. J>mith complained of this motion ?i placing member; :a an awkward fttuation. He was a;.;ainft the lection as it originally flood, but in favor of it as amended. MA GJlath; 'iid, there could be no kind "t 'inconvenience in taking the question in thii way. . If the gentleman from Maryland is la: is tied witb the fedtion as proposed tube amended, he •will-, of coui ft, vote again ft the motion to strike it out. Mr. G. laid he meant to vote in favor of {hiking out the iVcVoji, htcauft he did not approve of it as atEMidal. In the fitHl place, i-t is no breach oi tilt law of nations to allow the sale of pri/.es within neutral ports. Gentlemen 4"*V< we may limit our commercial in-!

But, f • permit. nAmerican" vef fehto be-fold in their p ~rts, we hive not a right to break o.ir treaty with them ; and thojigh the Spa nidi and Dutch ifiands in the Weft.-fndies, "do receive cr-reftrain our com merce at their will, they on!/ ait towards us as they aft towards other nations, But this bill does not apply to the Weft-I'.vdies alone ; it will apply to Amfleidam as well as Gur racoa ; and if any ours (hall fee fold as a prize at Ai.tfterdam", the Prelident will be authorised to iiitcrdift our commerce to Amfterdarh. If, said Mr. G. we are to go to war with France, he saw no rtaf'on why we should break our treaty with Holland, becaule they do no aft which is hot a breach of the taw of nations. Till the British trea ty, we had permitted British prizes to be fold in our ports, and we had, by the law of na tions, a right tc do it or not ; and Holland has the fame right with refpeft to French prize*. Mr. G. agreed it would be for our interest that our vessels should not be fold as prizes in the ports of Holland ; but it can not be allowable to fay, because this is the cafe, we will break our treaty with that na tion. No nation ever yet complained of a practice of this kind. If this bill had only relation to those Dutch-arid Spanifli ports in the Weft-Indies, which receive or refufe to receive our commerce, at their pleasure, he would not have objeftcd to it. Th ■ port of Nsw-Orlea;is, Mr G. fsid, would be included within the operation of this bill. That port is frt a peculiar (i'u ation, as by our treaty with Spain, it is in faft rendered'aV American port, to ofr m which we cannot be admitted or expelled at plea ure. The Spaivards nave agree f to (five it to us for a liumber of years; and if, at the end of that period thty d > not ehufe to co; tinue to us that port, they e 1 to give us another, equally well fuiicd for our purpo e ; 3nd to give the President :he pr>w er to f spend the interc -urfe of the weflern c6nntry with New'Otleans, would b;' much the fame th:ng ?$ to give hira a powsr to suspend the iritercoui e betwixt Alba y and New-York ; hecaufe New-Orleans is to fittfljurgh what New-York is to Alba ny- Mr G. wo ild be fllad if the operation of'the bill could be confined tapart# in 'he Well I-idtcs . becaufu, si ce they o:;ly re ceive -ur »eflcl» when they plcate, there would be (ome justice, and we have aiight' to do it, in making this regulation with rcf p*& to th«aa—But he did nc/t wi(h the prov fion t i exte d to Europe, fliict it is well known that the governments of Spain and Ho la.>d are. well disposed towards this country. Mr. S. Smith said it wa perfe&ly abfmd to sup >fe that New Orleans could ever be affe&ed by thi- clause, fine." it viever could become a place for the resort of privateer:.. Privateers, he said, mL-ht as well be cari td up to Pittfturgii, as New- Orleans. Mr. W. Claiborne said, he did not be lieve that the ge tlenian from Maryland (Mr. Smith.) was accurately informed as to the (ituation of New Orleans. M r C» had no personal knowledge of that port, but a 1 eputable chara&cr had told him, that it was exceflible 'u privateers, and that seve ral prizes had been brought there, during 'he last summer, but he did not suppose, that the praftice would be pursued. Mr C. laid, he was in favour of ftrik ng out the fefHon ; he law nn neceflhy for ce ding to the President such (jeneral poweri —on the contrary, the ceflion appeared to him highly i nprnptr. If the claHfe was etained the President might by aftngle d,t[b of his pen, destroy tlie commerce ofthe we Hern country, and this inttreft, Mr C. said he was tgo tenacious of, to coiifent to trai>f fera power of this kind, to any Kxecutive. The river Mifliflippi, waj the only commer cial road nowopened to Tennefleeand Ken lucky, aod thro' the dominions of Spain, their e - ports were necefii.ited to pass. If the President then ftiould forbid an inter- course with the Spiuifh ports on the Missis sippi the surplus produce of t '« wellern farmers would remain on tlhtir hands, and the riling prosperity f the wcftern ftatjet greatly checked. Mr. C. said he be told, that from the great discernment, pru de xe and patriotism of the President, an improper ufc of power need not be appre hended ; but he was of opinion, that a po wer improp r to be excrcifed, ou<ht not to be conceded ; and surely no gentleman will contend, that a interc 'urfe with Spiin, (liould at (hit linn- be fufprndc-'d. How )ar this clause may affeft the commerce of the Atlantic States, he was not fufficiently in formed on the (übjeft, to hazard an opinion. It appeared to him, however that the A merican trade was already fuificiotly shack led. Mr. C. could nut approbate the prac tice of conceding f» much to Executive dis cretion ; of the motives of the President he bad no doubt ;he believed them to be ftrift iy virtuom ; but the President, from the na ture of things, must frequently a£l upon the information of others, which in mifJire&ing his judgment, might injure the public in tereft. If there arc any neutral p >rtß, to which our commerce should beprohibited, let gen tlemen name the places, and it their reasons for a fufpcnlion of our intercourse with such places, were good, no doubt but their wiftt would be obtained. But Mr. C. was unwil ling to throw all the responsibility upon this head, upon _the President, where duti s cares and rei'ponfil-ility are already fufficient ly various and great. The yeas and nays were then taken, and the motion negatived 53 to 36. The qaeftion was then taken upon the amendments to the sth feftion, on which Mr. S. Smith called the yeas and nays. The question was catried, Mr. Dent only being io the negative. Mr. W. Claiborne mo v. d a proviso to pre vent this law up rating to suspend the com merce of the western country bv the MiW fiippi, the yeas ar d nays were taken, aud tie motion was carried 55 to 34.

It remains for them to know, (what they will find little difficulty in believing) that the fame belly' who could from a;i eminence, so bravely Ratter his filth upon a gentleman, had the tneanjwfs and cowardice to make to his friend, when called ut, a niofl h'ottiiating apology and coucei- Qca. A gr 1 tie man, with a horfe--vhip in his hand, obt'-rvt-i, the other day, a f.khv, laua lid and villainous looking wretch, muffled up in a great Cloak, fleein j before him, like 1 thief from the'lands of justice : from the lefcription, :t was very probably Dwigbt, • ne-cf UK-editors of the Lucifer. Confceuce iVcquehtly knocks thus at the hearts of vil lains, and even visits them inwardly with thole' terrors, which a i'ciue cf guilt infalii jly produces. An idea has gone forth, smongfta certain cLls of men, who are always for making :very thing yield to the expediency of the noinent, that the new emhafly to France is rounded, less on the calculation of any hon orable result, than on the idea of turning •'be tables upon her ; of giving the lie to her pacific profeflions-; and that this ifi'ue, which they think of lulndent importance to •uftify the measure, will produce unanimity n the war which mull at lafl iucceed. A.mazing folly ! afl'onifhring obstinacy and blindness ! Has not experience, in two full iftances, fbreclofed every hope of the kind? '.lan the villains who reign in France, heap keener insults upon us than they have done ? Or, if they can, are not our democrats ftu ,-'id enough and bale enough to juftify them all ? When we foolifhly expefted from them 1 confeilipn of the base part they had acted, and an acknowledgment that the demand bv France of a tribute froiti:their ovrn country had awakened them from-their infatuation, did they not fay, " Ten ought to bene paid the Tribute" ? If the raggarr.uffins of the J'auxbourg St. Antboine could be transported into America, it would be just as rational to xpeel to mfufe an honorable (Intiment on the wroags of the country, .into them, as it :s toentertain hopes of. the demociats. Ab l'mdjy as such a calculation strikes us, prima facie, the deeper relleftifcn we bellow on it, •he more it f wells pefortf-.us the inflation of empty delusion and folly. And yet its au thors pretend to re(pe£t for tlx President ! If the President had uo truer friends, no abler fupportcrs, no wiser counsellors than they, he.would indeed bv a lblitary man. This tame and tisnf-feryiug temper, which so dearly loves to hope againll houe, and to murder the precious hours for action, (which ire l'o rapidly hastening from us, never to be recalled) in heaping proof upon proof, where everything is already proved to redundancy, iflimilates our character to that of a doatiu'g iornuto, who fears to believe what lie hears lud what lie knows. 1 he coalitia.ii has already commenced its ■evolutionary carter, and the once imperial rniftrefs of the world, a noble prize ! has al. ready bowed before its ficft -eCay.
