Sufpeiifion of hitcrcourfc with France*
( Continued, j
Friday January 15.
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,

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

■<ounJ by treaties to u-ceive thr-w upon tlie
fiiPe with the m.-ih f ivored nation, we
fU\e then lore no right to ir.terdift our com
merce with that nation, except they commit
ome ait either contrary to ;l;e ftipulatioiis
of our treaty, or ifcVreseli of the law of na-
J ons. 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.

The virulent aud billinefgate abuse of
young Mr. Gallagher, by Colht V Herbois,
has ;.1 ixady excited the inJijJOatioij of every
man in the community, \v{io poileffcs one
(park of decency. 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.
