SOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, February 27.
Vnother member, to wit, Jshn Smith,
. (in the room of Jonathan Nico'l Havens
L j. deceased) from New-York, appeared
; day, was and took his feat.
Mr. Page presented a petition of Samuel
0 ik, a soldier during; the Revolutionary
ir, which was read and referred to the
mmittee of claims.
Mr. Davis said, as the House did not
nk proper yesterday to indulge him in the
jption of the icfolution then proposed, he
ijed they would adopt the following, and
er.able him to »btain all the evidence upon
\ fubj..-ct which ootid be had—viz.
ttesglved, That the Prclident of the Uni
■ 1 States just if<uii.:P,cii tp tlircft the proiK'
to lay bft'-re this tioui'e, i copy of
the proceedings of the Court held in the
d.ft rift court of South Carolina, in the cafe
-.Thomas Nafh, Callfii ;' bimfelf Jonathan
H 'bbiifs.
Messrs. Bayard. Ous, Dana, Marshall
i .1 RutU-.l<fr, spoke agaiiift >; —antl MefiYs.
' ivth, Li»ingftou, and Nicholas, in favor
it.,
Mr. Otis having mentioned, that he war
;i :horiied by the Secretary of State, to fay,
it he had 110 further authenticated tranl
s pt than had been fubiuitted to the House ;
Mr. Nicholas. after a few observations
t-ji-omnrended to Mr. Divir, to withdraw'
refutation—which having been done, Mr.
N. moved the following :
Resolved, That the Speaker of the House
Reprelentatlves, be requeued to pn-cure
' •wi the Cierk of the diftrfft Court of South
rolina, copie s, under seal, of the proceed
ii ;s of that Court, together with the evi
■ ices produced in the cafe relative to the
uifitipn for Thomas N ifh, alias Jonathan
• bbins, who was delivered to his"Britan-
Majesty's Conl'ul.
Mr. Harper moved that the rtfoliitionTie
poflponed till this day week—and was replied
• by Messrs. Nicholas and Gallatin ; when
Mr. H. Lee, said, he hoped the gentle
ian from South Carolina would withdraw
motion for postponement—He might
• e upon this fubjedt, Mr. H. Lee, said,
rrent from his friends—but he would do
th'S, because he had no objection that the
% aker fliould write the letter which the re
s', ition contemplated—and in the interim,
t' house fliould go into Committee of the
"iiile upon the fubjrd, and proceed upon
t' difcuflion as far as the President was im
p\ ated, and at a future day upon the con
di y of the Judge of South Carolina.
Mr. Dana applauded the principle ef the
hon. gentleman last up, who like a veteran
6\cer, boldly met his enemy without arti
fiv orevafion ; but he was not willing to
concede so far : If we wanted to make fur
ther enquiiy, appoint a feleft committee for
t;.; t purpose. He neve? lic'ii J
ker of a body like this, being inllruftecl to
enquire into fads. Mr. D. concluded with
llmarkine; 011 rhe-manner in wiH«w bu
siness was introduced ; and the inability its
a' .ocates felt to maintain the ground they
hnd taken, and by expitfTinj;'a with, the re
solution would not be adopted.
Meffis. Harper and Bayard also spoke in
fovor of the poftponenwnt, and MelTrs. Var-
Jjutn, Randolph and Jones against it, when
tWquefticn was taken—Yeas 32—Nays 67.
The question then recurred upon adopt
ing the resolution. when Mis Marshall spoke
at length against it.— He contended there
wes no profpcfl of coming to a decision of
the original quefti n this ftfllon if this were
adopted and a/ked if the charafter of the
P>-efident of the United States ought to be
b !d up m the suspicious view in which the
resolution placed it, until the next feflitin of
Congrefs?—He hoped not. It feeroed to
him that a postponement amounted to ade
claration to the people of America, thai
there was mueli caufcfor suspicion, and thai
additional ev,'deuce was wanted to fubftan
tiate it.
Mr. Nicholas replied to Mr. Marshall,
and contended, that the whole truth of the
cafe was to come out of the additional tes
timony now aflced for.
An adjournment Wat then called for, and
negatived—ayes 30.
Mr. Randolph fpokc in favour of the
refoiution, and in answer to Mr. Marshall,
when the question was taken, and negatived
—Yea» 44 —Noes 51.
Adjourned.
NfeW-LOXDON, February 14.
Extract of a letter from Cc.pt. Moses Tryon
dated on board the United States ship
Conneetitul, 10 leagues E. N'. E. fr.m
Diseada, Jan. le, 1800, to a Gentleman
in Middletoion.
" I have been able to reduce it to a cer
tainty, that the Conneftieut, is, perhaps,
the fatkfl tailing ship in thei'e fcas. I have
had a fair trial with several British i»*n of
War ; I hkewife had an opportunity to try
her failing with the Insurgent, (Sapt. Murry
and the Adams, Capt. Morns, botVi of
■which I hive fairly beaten by the wind, and
I think lean fay, she fails equally well from
the wind. On the whole 1 am not afraid
to have a fair look at any thing that floats
on the ocean. I have had the good fortune
to fall in with the French privateer brig, the
Conqueror of Italy ; mounting 12 guns and
fixtytwo men ; (having manned fix prizes
in the course of her cruise ; which I captur
ed the 29th ult. on her return to Point
Petre ; flie has done more injury t» our
commerce than any ether privateer out of
Gnadaloupe ; having by accounts, taken
two hundred American vrflels ; the has run
upwards of four years, and had bid defiance
to nil British frigates."
Bahhntre, Felruary 25.
Arrived (hip Triumph, captain Benja
min Richards, from Batavia.
Captain R. left Batavia, 19th October,
in company, with flups Mary. Phillips,, for
Baltimore; John Jay, Olney, Pr vidence ;

they intended to keep together till they
reached the Cape of Good Hope. Pafled
the Straits of Sunda the 25th of O&ob.-r,
and happily found it clear of French priva
teers, with which they had been much in
fefted.
Pafleiiger in the Triumph, Mr. John R.
Parker, late supercargo of the (hip Anna
bis, of Boston, which was 101 lat the Cape

Sceptre, Erglifh 64 gun (hip, the Oldeu
berg, a Danfh 64, an English whaler, a
brig from Salem, with four other smaller
vefTels were totally loft, with many lives.
The gale was of (hort duration, but ex
tremely severe, heaving into Table Bay a
molt tremendous sea.
Sir G. Young, governor, and fir Roger
Curtis, with a fleet from England, arrived
at the Cape early in December, at which
time every thing wag very tranquil, peace
having been cffe<fted with the Caffries—

of Boston, were at the Cape, bound to
