Mr. W. Smith, after funic iritFt duc
or\ remarks 011 the uvij\»i':.nt lervice*
J rendered to .their Country by the Le
gion of the United States, and the Mi
litia commanded by Genera] Scott, all
under the orders or General Wayne
moved three resolutions of thanks; the
firft to.General Wayne, the second to
the Officeis and privates of the Legion ;
the third to General Scott and the Vo
lunteers under his command.
Mr. Smith enforced the propriety of
palling these resolutions—inasmuch a
• lie late important successes of the army
are the firft that have been experienced
in the war with the hostile Indian
| Tribei—rhe was paiticulaMy induced to
! bring forward the resolutions, as the
late very fijjnal advantages opened the
faireli piofpedl of a lulling peace with
thnfe tribes.
Mr. Smith adverted in the course of
his observations to the diligence a#d at
tention of General Wayne to difciplin
-1 ; 'g his army for the service 011 which
they were employed—a circumstance
which he thought merited particular
notice and approbation.
Mr. Gdes offered some objections to
the mode proposed by the resolutions ;
he considered it as a novelty in thetranf
a&ionsof the house, and might lead to
consequences not at present contempla
ted. He was against an immediate at
tention to the labjeft; wilhed the reso
lutions Would lie on the table s pr if not,
be referred to the committee of the I
whole hortfe. j
Miv Smith supported the resolutions
on tbe' ; round of propriety, and as con-
Want to the proceedings of the house.
He adverted to the vote of opinion in
the French conijtitution, and
also on the death of Dr. Franklin.
Mr. Sherburne and Mr. Dearborn fe
derally suggested the propiiuty of defers
ving a detifion.
Mr. Smith withdrew the resolutions ;
and gave notice that he should bring them
forward again to morrow.
Mr. Murray moved a vote of thanks
to the m litia who have lately been called
out in ftipport of the laws of the United
States, this was laid on the table till to
morrow—A resolution refpetfingeompen
iation to the individuals who have been
peifonal fuffcrers in the late in furred ion
was called up—and being read, was refer
red-to the committee of the whole house
to morrow.
A meflagc was received from the Pre
sident of the United States, communica
ting a ftatemcnt of the
from the sum often thousand dollars ap
propriartd to defray the contingent ex
pences of government—also informing
the house that the President had this
day approved and signed the a£t, grant- j
ing the privilage of franking, to James
V\ lute,delegate from the South Western
Territory of the United States, and
providing for his compensation.
On motion of Mr. Lee, a report of
the Secretary of war on sixty petitions from
invalids made during the lift session, *as
Several of the Cases were dicuffed, and
finally referred to the committee of claims.
| The House then in committee of the
