CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Calhoun's Speech on 7 he New Aiur Bill. Mr. CALHOUN observed, that he could offer nothing more acceptable, he presumed, to the House, than a pro mise not to discuss the Orders in Coun cil, French Decrees, Blockades, or Em bargoes. He was induced to avoid these topics for several reasons. In the first place, they were too stale to furnish any interest to this House or country. Gentlemen who had attempt ed it, with whatever abilities, had failed to command attention; and it would argue very little sagacity on his part not to be admonished by their want of success. Indeed, whatever interest had been at one time attached to these sub jects, they had now lost it. They have passed away; and will not soon, he hoped, return into the circle of politics. Yes, sir, as reviled as has been our country’s efforts to curb belligerent in justice, as weak and contemptible as she has been represented to be in the grade of nations, she has triumphed in breaking down the most dangerous mo nopoly ever attempted by one nation against the commerce of another. He would not stop to enquire whether it was the non-importation act, or the me nace of war, or, what was the most pro bable, the list operating on the pressure produced by the former. The fact is certain, that the Orders in Council of 1807 and 1809, which our opponents have often said, that England would not yield, as they made a part of her com mercial system, are now no more. The same firmness, if persevered in, which has carried us thus far with success, will, as our cause is just and mode rate, end in final victory. A further reason which he had not to follow our opponents into the region of documents and records, was that he was afraid of a decoy as he was induced to believe from appearances that their object was to draw our attention from the merits of the question. Gentlemen had lite rally buried their arguments under a huge pile of quotations; and had wan dered so far into this realm of paper, that neither the vision of this House has been, or that of the country will be, able to follow them. There the best and worst reasons share an equal fate. The truth of the one and error of the other, are covered with like obscurity. Before he proceeded further, he would make a few observations in reply to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. R Who spoke yesterday* He complained of the desertLn of his former associ ates from the minority principles of ’9B. These principles, he said, consisted in an opposition to the general govern ment in relation to the States, and to political rigiits in relation to indivi duals. Mr. C. said he was at one moment almost induced to suspect the gentle m n of a desertion of his own princi ples for scarcely had he finished this part of his subject, before he passed a high-wrought eulogy on the Father of his country—on that man whose whole life indicated the strongest leaning on the side of the government of his coun try. He would beg the gentleman to reflect whether his definition of mino- rity principles suited the character of Washington’s administration—and, if not, with what propriety both could be praised almost in the same breath. Whether indeed the principles of ’9B ■were such as the gentleman has repre sented them, he would not enquire because not necessary to his argument. But if they are in truth those of the gentleman and his present associates, he would be happy to know with what countenance they can request the peo ple of this country to put tho govern or nt into their hands. Trust the go vernment to those who are hostile to it I Who prefer their own interest rights, to its interest and rights if our op ponents are in reality in favor of such principles, patriotism ought to persuade them to and one other, and that is, ever to remain in a minority. There they may perhaps be of some use, at least they will not be dangerous; but put them in power, and let them act up to what they profess, and destruction would be certain. If the gentleman from Virginia is anxious to know the real cause of the separation of his for mer associates from nim, he must lo»k for it m his ftresent political creed, and that ol those with whom he is now uni ted. He will there fine an article which had no place in his in ’9B, and which then as well as now was reprobated by those who constitute the present majo rity. This article is only an enlarge mtnt of the minority principles, as ee fined by the gentleman; it is opposi tion to our country in relation to Eng land The proof of this article is of the same kind, and no less clear than the others For what encroachment of England on our neutral rights, from the interruption of our carrying trade down to the moment that War was declared, Which one of the innumerable insults and injuries which bursted m on us, has the opposition either not palliated or justified—and what effort ot our coun try to resist, which has not been re prob ted- and ©pposed Mi C. said that he would not multi ply proof qn a course of conduct the bad effect of which was too sensibly felt to be easily forgot, and the conti nuation of which was but too apparent in the present discussion. For what was the object of the opposition in this debate To-defeat the passage of this bill It has been scarcely mentioned and contains nothing to raise that storm which has been excited against it. The bill proposes to raise 20,000 men only, and that for one year and surely there is nothing in that calculated to by such strong hold of the jealousy or fear of the community. What then is the ob ject of the opposition Gentlemen cer tainly do not act without an intention and wide as has been the range of de bate, it cannof be so lawless as to be without an object. It was not, he re peated, to defeat the passage of this bill no, but what was much more to be dreaded, to thwart that, which the bill proposes to contribute to, the final suc cess of the war and for this purpose he must do the opposition the credit to say, they have resorted to means the best calculated to produce the effect. In a free government, in the government of laws, two things are necessary for the effectual prosecution of any great mea sure the law by which the executive officer is charged with the execution and vested with suitable powers and the co-operating zeal and union of the people, who are always indispensable agents. Opposition to be successful must direct its effort against the pas sage of the law or, what was more common and generally more effectual, to destroy the union and the zeal of the people. Either, if successful, is effec tual. The former would in most cases be seen and reprobated the latter, much the most dangerous, has, to the great misfortune of republics, present ed at all times a ready means of defeat ing the most salutary measures. To this point the whole arguments of op position have converged. This gives ameaningto every reason and assertion, which have been advanced, however wild and inconsistent. No topic has been left untouched, no passion unes sayed. The war has been represented as unjust in its origin, disastrous in its progress, and desperate in its farther prosecution. As if to prevent the pos sibility of doubt, a determination has been boldly asserted not to support it. Such is the opposition to the war which was admitted on all sides to be just; and which in a manner received the votes even of those who now appear to be willing to ruin ths country in order to defeat its success—Fer -u remembered, that the bill to raise the 25,000 men passed this House almost unanimously, though it was distinctly announced for what object it was in tended. How will gentlemen relieve themselves from this dilemma Was it their object to embarrass the admin istration Will they dare to make a confession, which will so strongly con firm the motive which has been assign ed to them A gentleman from New York (Mr. Emmot) felt the awkward ness of the situation, and in his endea vor to explain has made an admission which ought ever to exclude him and his friends from power. He justified his vote on the ground that he was in favor of the force as a peace establish ment. A peace establishment of 35,000 men I (Mr E. explained that he did not mean as a peace establishment, but that the posture of affairs at that time demanded it.) At any rate, said Mr C. he hoped to hear nothing farther a bout the enormous expence of the war, since the principal expence ought to have been incurred in the gentleman’s opinion, even had it not been resorted to. Well might the opposition admit the justice of the war. For years the moderation of the government, he might almost say the excessive love of peace, strove to avoid the contest. We bore all that an independent nation could bear not indeed with patience, but in the hopes of returning justice on the part of our enemy. Mr. C. could not omit noticing the attempt made by the gentleman from New York, to palliate the conduct of England, in relation to one of the causes of the war he allud ed to the blockade of 1806. The gen tleman contended that it was a relaxa tion of the law of nations in our favor; and of consequence must be considered by us in the light of a benefit. It sure ly cannot be necessary to trace the gen tleman through his laborious discussion on this point, to expose the error of so extraordinary a conclusion What, that, an advantage to this country, which we have struggled so much to avoid 1 That, a relaxation on the part of England, which she has so obstinately refused to yield 1 Flushed with his supposed vic tory on this subject, the gentleman un dertook what might be considered even a more difficult task, to remove the or decs in council as a cause of war. Mr. C. said he despaired of replying to such arguments. But it is objected that the report of the committee of Foreign Re lations has stated the orders of 1807 as a cause of war, though repealed by those of 1809. It is a sufficient justification of the report that it has stated the facts on this as well as all other points, pre cisely as they existed and well might the report enumerate the orders of 1807 as a cause of war, when those of 1809 openly avow the principles of the former, and oniy modify their operation to the then existing circum- i stands. But, says another gentleman 1 from New York, (Mr. B’cecker) we were inveigled into the war by the per fidy of France. She did not fairly re peal her decrees. Be it so and what then Were we bound to submit to England, because France refused to do us justice Had we no power of elec tion between the ruffians Where will the absurdity of such arguments end The right to select was perfect in us and, without reference to the conduct of France, the selection might and ought to fall on England. If, sir, the origin of the war furnish no sufficient justifi cation for opposition to it, in vain will our opponents fly for refuge to its con tinuation. The orders in council, say they, are now no more, and why should the war be persisted in after its cause is removed Mr. C. said his reply to this question was, that it was continued from no project of ambition, or desire of conquest but from a cause far more sacred, the liberty of our sailors and their redemption from slavery. Yet the war is opposed, even attempted to be defeated, by the friends, connec tions and neighbors of these brave de fenders of our national rights and hon or. It is even asked, why should we feel so lively an interest in their fate In vain are such arguments urged. The country will not forget its duty, the first of political duties, that of pro tection. Our opponents may find no motive in connection or neighborhood, but the country will in its obligation. The friends of commerce may evince their attachment to its profits and luxu ries only but the government will not, on that account, cease to respect the liberty of the citizen, and the enlarged interest of commerce, by protecting from English slavery the sailors, by whose toil and peril it is extended to every sea. Provided they have com merce and profit, it seems the injury and insult go for nothing with the op position. Such a commerce may in deed bloat the country, but it will not contribute to its real strength. It sub tracts more from the spirit, than it adds to the wealth of the community. But, say our opponents, as they were opposed to the war they are not bound to support it; and so far has this oppo sition been carried, that we have been accused almost of violating the right of conscience in denying the right set up by gentlemen The right to oppose the efforts of our country, while in war, ought to be established beyond the pos sibility of doubt, before it can be justly adopted as the basis of conduct. How mnscience can be claimed in this case cannot be very easily imagined. We oppose not by laws or penalties we only assert that the opposition experi enced cannot be dictated by love of country; and is inconsistent with the duty which every citizen is under to promote the prosperity of the republic. Its necessary tendency is to prostrate the country at the feet of the enemy, and to elevate a party on the ruins of the public. Till our opponents can prove that they have a right which is paramount to the public interest, we must persist in denying the right to thwart the success of the war. War has been declared by a law of the land and what would be thought of similar attempts to defeat any other law however inconsiderable its object Who would dare to avow an intention to defeat its operation Can that then be true in relation to war which would be reprobated in every other case? Can that be true which, when the whole phy sical force of the country is needed, with draws half of that force Can that be true which gives the greatest viob.nce to party animosity What would have been thought of such conduct in the war of the revolution Many good citizens friendly to the liberty of our country were opposed to the declaration at the time could they have been justi fied in such opposition as we now expe rience To terminate the war through discord and weakness is a hazardous ex periment. But in the most unjust and inexpedient war it can scarcely be pos sible, that disunion and defeats can have a salutary operation. In the numerous examples which history furnishes, let an instance be pointed out, in any war, where the public interest has been pro moted by divisions, or injured by con cord. Hundreds of instances may be cited of the reverse. Why then, will gentlemen persist in that course where danger is almost unavoidable, and shun that where safety is almost certain But, sir, we are told that peace is in our power without a farther promotion ot the war. Appeal not, say our oppo nents, to the fear, but to the generosity of our enemy. England yields nothing to her fears stop, therefore, your pre paration, and throw yourself on her mercy, and peace will be the result We might indeed have pardon, but not peace on such terms. Those who think the war a sacrilege or a crime, might con sistently adopt such a course; but we, who know it to be for the maintenance of the just rights of the community, never can. We are farther told that impressment of seamen was not consi dered a sufficient cause of war; and are asked why should it be continued on that account Mr. C. observ. d that he individually did not feel the force of the argument; for it had been his opinion, that the nation was bound to resist so deep an injury even at the hazard of war; but, admitting its full force, the difference xs striking between the com- mencement 6; the continuance of hostili ties. War ought to be continued until its rational object, a permanent and se cure peace, could be obtained. Even the friends of England ought not to de sire the termination of the war, without a satisfactory adjustment of the subject of impressment. It would leave the root that must ne cessarily shoot up in future animosity and hostilities. America can never quietly submit to the deepest of injury. Necessity might compel her to yield for a moment; but it would be to watch the growth of national strength, and to seize the first favorable opportunity to seek redress. The worst enemy to the peace of the two countries could not desire a more effectual means to pro pagate eternal enmity. But it is said, that we ought to offer to England suitable regulations on this subject, to secure to her the use of her own seamen and because we have not, we are the aggressors. He denied that we were bound to tender any regula tions, or that we had not. England was the party injuring. She ought to con fine her seamen to her own service or, if that was impracticable, propose such arrangements that she might exercise her right without injury to us. This is the rule that governs all analogous cases in private life. But we have made our offer; it is, that the ship should protect the sailor. It is the most simple and only safe rule; but to secure so de sirable a point, the most liberal and ef fectual provisions ought and have been proposed to be made on our part, to guard the British government against the evil they apprehended, the loss of her seamen. The whole doctrine of protection, heretofore relied on, and still recommended by the gentleman from Connecticut, (Mr. P.) is false and derogatory to our honor and under no possible modification can effect the de sirable objects of affording safety to our sailors, and securing the future harmony of the two countries. Nor can it be doubted, if governed by justice, she will yield to the offer of our govern ment, particularly if what the gentle man from N. York (Mr Bleecker) says be true, that there are 10,000 of her seamen in our service. She would be greatly the gainer by the arrangement. Experience, it is to be feared, however, will teach that gentleman that the evil lies much deeper. The use of her sea men is a mere pretence. The blow is aimed at our commercial greatness It is this which has animated and directed all of her injurious councils towards this country. England is at the same time a trading and fighting nation two occupations naturally at variance, and most difficult to be united. War limits the number and extent of the markets of a belligerent, makes a variety of re gulations necessary; and produces heavy taxes, which are inimical to the prosperity of manufactories and conse quently commerce. These causes com bined give to trade new channels which direct it naturally to neutral nations. To counteract this tendency, England, un der various but flimsy pretences, has endeavored to support her commercial superiority by monopoly. It has been our fortune to resist with no inconsider able success this spirit of monopoly. Her principal object in contending for the right of impressment, is to have in a great measure the monopoly of the sailors of the world. A fixed resistance will compel her to yield this point, as she has already done her orders in council. Success will amply reward our exer tions. Our future commerce will feel its invigorating effects. But, say gen tlemen, England will never yield this point, and every effort on our part to se cure it is hopeless. To confirm this prediction and secure our reverencet he prophecies of the last session are relied on. Mr. C. felt no disposition to dispa rage our opponents’ talents in that line; but he very much doubted whether the whole chapter of woes had been fulfilled. He would, for instance, ask whether so much as related to sacked towns, bom barded cities, ruined commerce, and re volting blacks had been realized He was sorry to find a gentleman from Virg. (Mr. Sheffy) not yet cured of his fears in relation to this last pre diction. He would be glad to know what was his intention—his assertions give equal notice to the House, the enemy and the country. If danger in deed existed, he has acted with such imprudence, as ought to subject him to the censure of any reflecting man but he would acquit the gentleman, as he did not apprehend any danger. He would not admit an increased danger from a state of war, a state in which the public force and vigilance are of neces sity the greatest. But to return to the point; our cause is not so hopeless as represented by our opponents but on the contrary, if we only persevere we have every reason, under present cir cun stunces to anticipate ultimate suc cess. The enemy is engaged in a con ust in Europe, which requires his wnole power. We have already com polled mm to yield a pord, which but the last year it was prophesied that he never would. The ord. rs in council are now no mora; that system by wl ch it wks vainly attempted to monopo ze our tr M e and tc recolonize the Ai .cri can nation. Bt if England will not ytclu, we can p rish «s well as she. Our Republican virtue is as obst «ate as her imperial pride, and our duty to our citizens as unyielding as her prero gative over her subjects. An attempt has been made to shake our fortitude, by aery of French alliance. It has beer boldly said, that we are already united with that country. We united with France We have the same cause No her object is dominion, and her impulse ambition. Ours is the protec tion of the liberty of our sailors. But say our opponents, we are contending against the same country. What then? Must we submit to be outlawed by Eng land, in order that she may not be by France Is the independence of Eng land dearer to us than our own Must we enter the European struggle not as an equal, consulting our peculiar inter est, but be dragged into it as the low dependant, the slave of England The gentleman from Va. (Mr. Ran dolph) has told us that we are contending against religion in the person of Eng land—that she is, in a word, the patron ess of Christianity. Unhappy emm try I Doomed to submission to preserve the purity of religion Doomed to sla very that England may be independent! Because Bonaparte is not a protestant, you must surrender your rights Be cause he is a despot you dare not resistl What does the gentleman intend Is. it his wish, by thus dragging into the heat of political debate the sacred cause of religion, to promote its interest or that of a faction If the former, let him. point out an instance in antient or mo dern times when the junction of religi on and politics has not been fatal to the interest of both. It is this unnatural uni®n that has engendered the foulest progeny of human woes. History is iuli ot its disaster, and the gentleman is too familiar with its pages to require a particular recital. If the gentleman’s intention is not to advance the cause of religion, but to promote the views of a party, words cannot truly describe its real character. It is a trick that has been, and still continues to be practis ed on the too easy credulity of our na ture. Its frequency however does not change its nature it may indeed fur nish some apology, that those who prac tise it are led into it without a due re flection on its character but when un derstood, what can be more shocking, than that the most sacred of all things, the medium of divine communion, our consolation as mortals, would be pros trated to the gratification of some of the worst feelings of the human heart Such then is the cause of the war and its continuation; and such the nature of the opposition experienced, and its jus tification. It remains to be seen wheth er the intended effect will be produced. Whether animosity and discord will be fomented, and the zeal and union of the people to maintain the rights and indis pensible duties of the community will abate; or, describing it under another aspect, whether it is the destiny of our country to sink under that of our enemy or not. Mr. C. said he was not without his fears and his hopes. On the one hand our opponents had manifestly the advantage. The love of present ease and enjoyment, the love of gain, and party zeal, were on their side. These constitute part of the weakness of our nature. We naturally lead that way without the arts of per suasion. Far more difficult is the task of the majority. It is theirs to support the distant but lasting interest of our country it is theirs to elevate the minds of the people, and to call up all of those qualities by which present sa crifices are made to secure a future good. On the other hand, our cause is not without its hope. The interest of the people and that of the leaders of a party are, as observed by a gentle man from N. York, (Mr. Stow) often at variance. The people are always ready, unless led astray by ignorance or delu sion, to participate in the success of the country, or to sympathise in its adver sity. Very different are the feelings of the leaders; on every great measure they stand pledged against its success, and almost invariably consider that their political consequence depends on its defeat. The heat of debate, the spirit of settled opposition, and the confident prediction of disaster, are among the causes of this opposition between the interest of a party and their country and in no instance under our own go vernment have they existed in a great er degree than in relation to the pre sent war. The evil is deeply rooted in the constitution of all free governments, and is the principal cause of their weak ness and destruction. It has but one remedy, the virtue and intelligence of the people—it behoves them as they valued the blessings of their freedom, not to permit themselves to be drawn into the vortex of party rage. For if by such opposition the firmest govern ment should prove incompetent to maintain the rights of the nation against foreign aggression, they will find real ized the truth of the assertion, that go vernment is protection, and that it can not exist where it fails of this great and primary object. The authors of the weakness are commonly the first to take the advantage of it, id to turn it to the destruction of liberty. Mr. J.

WASHINGTON CITY. FRIDAY, MARCH 19. We have no further certain informa tion on the subject of the detachnient sent off from General Harrison’s army for the purpose of attempting the de struction of the British shipping at Malden, which marched, we believe, on the 25th ult. A report has reached the city in a letter from Buffalo, dated the Sth of March, of an express having brought information that General Har rison had retaken Detroit. Weare in clined to disbelieve it, because we have never understood it to be his object at present to go there, and because it was not in the line of his operations at Mal den, as we understand them. Extract of a letter from Lt. Sinclair, da ted U. States* schooner Adeline, Che- sapeake Bay, March 11, 1813. I was until the 10th instant reaching the mouth of the Potomac, where I re ceived direct information that the ene my were in Lynhaven Bay with four 74’s, five frigates and some small ves sels and that two other frigates, with two armed Baltimore built schooners and a sloop, were off New Point light, committing depredations in every inlet and on every bay craft they could come across. I immediately proceeded down the bay, and at midnight made a harbor under Gwinns’ Island, the wind being ahead and a prospect of bad weathdr. After having anchored in a line across the channel with two gun boats in com pany (the other not being able to fetch jn had gone into the Rappahannock) I was hailed from an armed schooner, within us, to know who we were. I Informed him, and upon quiring to know who he was, he went to quarters immediately and ordered my boat a board him. I had anchored with springs upon our cables and our men at quar ters. I ordered him to let me know who he was, and upon his insisting on my boat’s being sent to him, I fired a musket a head of him, which he instant ly returned with a broadside of round and grape shot with a constant fire of small arms. Being well assured from this conduct, that it was one of the ene my’s schooners, I opened a fire on her, from this vessel, and in 15 or 20 mi nutes silenced her. I now ceased firing and desired the nearest gun boat to hail him and know if he had struck to us, and who he was. He made no reply, but immediately renewed the action. I then ordered a general fire from all the vessels, and in about the same length of time silenced him a second time. He acted, upon our ceasing our fire, precisely as he had before done, and it was now half an hour before he was a third time silenced. Although his con duct did not deserve a third indulgence, yet humanity induced me to stop the effusion of blood which our well direct ed fire must evidently have caused on board his vessel. I was now in the act of sending an officer on board him to take possession, when I discovered h had made sail and was endeavoring to escape under cover ol the darkness of the night. I immediate.y cut my cable ana made sail after him butafter a running fight of half an hour, his great superiority of sailing and the extreme Gui kness of the night effected his escape. The last we saw of him he appeared to be on a wind down the Bay. This proce dure, added to his other conduct, and his having, as 1 am informed by the in habitants of this place, anchored here just at night without showing any co lors, confirms me in the opinion of his being one of their light cruizers. He bus no doubt suffered severely in killed and wounded, as we were at all times in goou grape and cannister distance, and from the quantity of his bulwarks, which were floated on snore near where he lay, his hull must have been as much shattered, as we could see his rig ging appeared to be, by the light from his guns. Our damage has been very trifling, only one man severely wounded, and our rigging a little cut. 1 cannot say too much in praise of ail the officers crew of this vessel.” Extract of a letter jrom Lt. Sinclair, da ted, United States schooner Adeline, Chesapeake Bay, March 13, 1813. I have the satisfaction to inform you that I have this day received information, that the unknown vessel we engaged on the 10th at night, and of which 1 gave you the particulars m my letter ol -the 11 th, was his Britannic Majesty’s schooner Lottery, and that she sunk that night, before she could reach the Fleet at New-Point Comfort. BALTIMORE Defence, Wc —We understand that Generals Smith and Stricker had a con ference with the Governor on Thurs day last, and that the result was a gene ral order from his excellency directing general Smith, to make the necessary arrangements for the defence of the port of Baltimore.” And we are au thorised to say, that measures were im mediately adopted under the orders of General Smith—that prepared ammuni tion is ready to deliver to the comman ders of corps, to be distributed by them when it shall be necessary—-that the dif ferent corps have orders to fix their re spective alarm posts, to which the men will assemble on an alarm being given •—that the fort is in a perfect state of preparation requiring only in case of at tack the aid of our citizen soldiers—and that to prepare them for its defence, the infantry by batallions, and artillery by companies, will be marched to the fort every Wednesday and Saturday, to be trained to the defence of fortifications. A squadron of observation, consisting, of two troops of dragoons, is held ready to march at a moment’s notice. Letters have been written to the secretaries of War and Navy, for their aid, and captain Gordon of the navy, commanding at this station, has received orders to co-oper ate with general Smith for the defence of Baltimore. We also understand that orders have been issued by general Smith to the Brigadiers ©f his division, to call out the drafts undec the act of Congress and hold them ready to march at a moment’s warning—ln fine, we are satisfied that proper measures for our defence have been and will be adopted by the commanding officer, who, we confidently assert, will be nobly support ed by the militia of the city and pre cincts. Whig. THE MERCHANT’S BONDS.” (circular) Treasury Department, Feb. 16, 1813. Sir—The acts passed during the present session of congress, which direct the secretary of the treasury to remit the fines, penalties and forfeitures incurred by reason of illegal impor tations from the dominions of Great-Britain, in certain cases defined by those acts, have impos ed on the treasury the duty of deciding whether the cases, on which applications may be made, are or are not embraced by the acts. If the secretary is of opinion that a case is thus em braced, ha has no discretion, but is bound to remit. If he is not satisfied that the case is thus embraced he cannot remit by virtue of those acts but may, 'iccording to the circum stances of the cas remit or mitigate, on appli cation made in the manner prescribed by the general law. The time of departure of the vessels can al ways be ascertained by official papers, and pre sents no difficulty. The certificate of the dis trict judge will always b considered as con clusive evidence of that fact. But there are two questions on which the statement of the judge, if expressed in a general manner, would be r ther the evidence of his opinion as deduced from the facts proved to him, than of the facts themselves. These questions a e—lst. Whe ther the merchandise was owned exclusively by citizens of the United States at the time of shipment 2d, Whether the purchase was made prior to the time when the war was known at the place of purchase. The evidence on both points may in many cases be direct and conclu sive, leaving no doubt on the subject. In other instances, doubts and difficulties may arise re specting the alledgid exclusive property of A merican citizens, and wha’ may be considered as the completion and date of 'he purchase. Not only is it necessary in those doubtful cases that the truth of the facts should be tested by inter, rogatories and a stne. investigation but in or der to fulfil the law the secretary of the treasu ry must be enabled to certify that the facts are proved to his satisfaction. For that purpose, and in order to prevent the delays arising’, an investigation of the facts at the treasury in the numerous cases which do not require it, and also to ensure uniformity in the mode of pro ceedings, the following i uies have been adopted, and are communicated for your information and that of the parties concerned. 1. In all the cas s wh re the district attor ney will st; te in writing that he has no cause t siiow against the remission,” and where the j udge will certify, either generally or by refer ence to the terms of the law, that the case is embraced by the provision of the statute, the fines, penalties and forfeitures will be re mitted without further enquiry, unless the collector interested in the forfeitures should have filed specific objections, in writing, to be annexed to the petition. 2. In the cases where the district attorney shah not have stated that he has no cause to show, or where the judge will not think proper to certify as aforesaid, or where objections, in writing, may have been filed by the collector, the substance of the evidence must be transmit ted to the treasury, or be incorporated in the judge’s statement, which, so far as relates to facts proved to his satisfaction, will always be deemed conclusive evidence of those facts. 3. The principal facts to be thus proved and certified are, the date and substance of the or ders of the American merchants, of the pur chases made by the correspondents or agents m the dominions of Great-Britain, of the answers of those correspondents or agents, of the bills of lading and of the invoices. AU these appear requisite in doubtful cases but it is not in tended toexclude any other evidence adduced in support of the allegations, or appearing to dis prove them. In order to hasten and facilitate the lamin ation of documents, and of oral evidence, and tne critical investigation necessary m some cases, I would suggest the propriety ot sub mitting- to the judge the appointment ot one or more persons to assist you, ana the allow a ce of a moderate fee in suca case, to be as sessed as part of the costs, whether those costs shall become payable by the parties ac cording to the terms of the remission, or from tne proceeds of the forfeiture Alien not remited. 1. is proper to observe diat with respect to vesseis, their forfeiture is remitted under the act of this session, only in case where the whole of the cargo is entitled to the benefit of those acts. Tins is mentioned m order to prevent unnecessary expence and delay; as in those uses where any parcel o.f merchandise on board tne vessel is not embraced by the pro vpuor of tbe act, it does not appear that the owners of such vessel can obtain relief other wise than by application under, and in the man ner prescribed by, the general law. I have the honor to be, respectfully, sir, your obedient servant. ALBERT GALLATIN. The Attorney of the United States, for the district of Connecticut. NOTICE. The owners of English merchandize libelled in the Connecticut district, who intended to file Petitions for relief, under the act of Congress referred to in the preceding Circular, are noti fied that a special District Court is ordered to be holden at New Haven, on the Ist of April next, to hear such applications—And that by an order of Court notice is to be given of the filing said Petitions in the manner prescribed in said order, at least 10 days before the time for hearing the petitions. In cases where relief is not claimed by filing a Petition, the Court will be moved to proceed to trial of the libel against the merchandize. H. HUNTINGDON. United States Attorney for District of Connecticut, March 8, 1813, From the Baltimore American. FRENCH SHIPS OF THE LINE. The source whence we derive the subjoined statement of the number of French line of battle ships in the ports of the French empire, either ready for sea or on the stocks, renders it unques tionably correct. FRENCH LINE OF BATTLE SHIPS. Ready for Sea and completely Manned. In the Texel, 5; at Rotterdam, 2 Antwerp, 23 Cherbourg, 5 Brest, 6 L’Orient, 2 Rochefort, 8 Toulon, 20 Genoa, 1 Venice 2—total 72 of which 5 are of 120 guns, and the re mainder of 84 and 74 guns. On the Stocks. At Rotterdam and near the Texel, 5 Antwerp, 15 Cherbourg, 2 Brest, 1 L’Orient, 4 Rochefort, 4 Toulon, 4; Genoa, 1; Venice, s—total 41 of which one is of 130 guns, and another of 120 guns, ready to be launched. It thus appears that France possesses one hundred and thirteen ships of the line, some of them enormously stout, and the greater number completely manned and ready for sea. In addition to these, she owns a proportionate num ber of frigates and smaller vessels Hol land, Venice and Genoa, that have se parately and successively maintained the empire of the ocean, are still incor porated into the French Territory. As soon therefore as France can divert a considerable portion of her population from the land to the sea service, she will be ready to contend on commanding ground for the mastery of the seas. Atoany, March 12. From Buffalo, we have advices, that the troops which had been in winter quarters at 11 mile creek, had arrived at that place and that the force at Buf faloe was estimated at 1800 effective men A letter received by a gentle man in this city last evening, dated the 4th inst. at Buffaloe, says—To-mor row it is supposed our troops intend doing something. All will depend on the officers. The men appear to be in good spirits and are anxious to cross over.” Argus. Newport, R. I. Mar oh 13. On Tuesday evening last, arrived in this harbor, British transport ship, Lord Keith, Nathan Stanton, priae master, prize to th* privateer schooner Mars, of New London. The Lord Keith is a valuable vessel, mounts 4 guns, in bal last. She was taken Dec. 26, seven days out of Lisbon, on her homeward bound passage. The prize, on her passage, in iat 41, lon. 51, experienced a very severe gale of wind, which carri ed away her bow-sprit and most of her upper spars. The English captain, Richard Hall of Plymouth, England, died on the 17th Jan. on board the Lord K -ith. The prize was in a very crip pled condition when she arrived in the offing, and was towed in by the Reve nue Cutter, capt. Cahoone. Last evening arrived his Britannic Majesty’s brig Eniu, of 10 guns, prize to the privateer Holkar, of New York, John Brown prize-master. [This is the same vessel mentioned in our last, which received on board 86 bales and packages of dry goods, of the Aurora’s cargo.} Philadelphia, March 15. An express arrived this morning from Great Egg Harbor, giving the follow ing information :—The sloop Unity, Somers, was yesterday fired at by three privateers or tenders, who repeatedly attempted to board her, but were pre vented by the heavy sea. These vessels have captured the following vessels— Sloop Cape May, Scull, sloop New-Jer sey, Bruton, and sloop Marianna, Scull, of Great Egg Harbor. From this it would appear that the Delaware is a bout being blockaded. THE YOUNG MOTHER, OR ALBINIA: A Novel— Price one Dollar. ALSO, REJECTED ADDRESSES, OR THE NEW THEATRUM POETARUM.
