CONGRESS. tv- fu> ■JUIMi 11— DEBATE ON MR, WEBSTER’S RESOLU TIONS, CONTINUED. Mr. Hanson sold the part of the reso lution which the gentleman from South Carolina regarded as so exceptionable, conveying as he supposed an insinua tion against the President highly dis respectful and unwarrantable, was the very part be most wished to retain.-— Those words expunged, the pith, the essence of the resolution was extracted and nothing would remain to be-acted en. It would be equivalent to a rejec tion of all the resolutions, because the first resolution was the pivot upon which the rest turned —take that away, the key stone of the arch was removed and the whole fabric must necessarily fall. Mr. H. said he had not the strength, if he had the inclination, to wade thro’ the volumes of documentary evidence which gentlemen seemed inclined to drag into the discussion, to defend their consistency and justify the measures preceding and connected with this war —nor was this the proper stage of the discussion to go into a general view of our foreign relations, and particularly the negociation with the trench go vernment. To begin with the late Mr. Secretary Smith and dissect all that was written by that gentleman, then to p ss to Mr. Munroe’s correspondence with Mr. Fester to proceed next to an examination of all that camd irom the duli.es of Cadore and Bassano, Mr. Rus sel, Mr. Barlow, Mr Pinkney, the mar quis of Wellesley, and lastly, from the vouth to whom were committed our concerns as charge des affairs in Eng land, would be to lose one’s self in a labyrinth of diplomacy, from which it would require the enterprize and wit of a Theseus, aided by the clue of an Ariadne, to be extricated. Mr. H. could not but express his surprise that any opposition should be made, by the friends of administration, to the resolutions under consideration that it was indeed to have been expected that an early opportunity would be sought by the gentlemen themselves, to remove from the public mind injurious and well founded suspicions against the executive, spread every where and dai ly acquiring strength—that it was to have been expected that such an oppor tunity would have been earnestly sought and eagerly embraced, to vindicate the honor of administration, by refuting one of the most insulting and outrageous imputations of falsehood, fraud and im posture, ever submitted to by one inde pendent power from another. That it was to have been expected, the guar- dians of the national honor would have displayed a quick and lively sensibility to whatever affected the character of the country, and that their own share of responsibility, and a just sense of what ■was due to themselves, would haw suggested to gentlemen on the other side, the necessity of some exculpatory course, some voluntary proceeding, to wipe away the stain cast upon their cha racters by the presumptuous tool of a foreign despot. Should the resolutions be rejected, the public is bound to be lieve, the people inevitably will believe, either that the important document which we ask to have laid before the nation, was suppressed for the most corrupt purposes or, that rather than risk the displeasure of France, by ex culpating the executive and itself, this House prefers to sanction, nay, recom mend, a negative vote, a continued con cealment of evidence, a suppression of a declaration exposing the courtly in sincerity,” the duplicity and falsehood of France. Mr. Hanson said, that he wished to dismiss from the discussion all the rub bish and trumpery which might be raked together in the Department of State, and brought to bear upon this question—he wished to discard all ex traneous matter with which it might be attempted to encumber the question, in order to direct the attention of the peo ple from the true subject of enquiry. Let us, said he, simplify the question and present it in a form calculated to meet the apprehension of every man, not having an unaccountable obliquity of vision, or tortured by a distressing density of intellect—and how stands the question Simply and plainly thus shall the Chief Magistrate of this nation rest under the foul imputation of having done a deed at the bare mention of which honor blushes—the cheek of charity must mantle—a deed, which in a better age would have brought a mo- narch to the block? or will the National Legislature afford that Chief Magistrate an opportunity, (which opportunity, to be sure, might have been taken) to ac quit himself by his own mere denial of the charges, and thus inculpate his im perial accuser, who has officially pro mulged, I trust, an unqualified untruth, vitally affecting the honor of govern ment? This plain proposition present ed to the minds of gentlemen, could they doubt or hesitate in their decision? Forced, driven to the alternative of fly ing in the face of imperial ire, and the unavoidable degradation of submitting to an allegation of treachery to this people by their rulers, it was but rea sonable io expect a prompt decision in favor of the call for information. As much as gentlemen might excel in the art oi “making the worse appear the beiter reason,” (and we had abundant W. proof that skilful sophists were on the floor) it was not in the power of human ingenuity, sophistry itself could not vary the true simple statement of the case. The resolutions rejected, or so altered as to defeat the fair purpose of their honorable mover, the call for par ticular information refused, and the in ference was irresistible the mind of man could not resist it—a verdict of guilty would be pronounced, against administration by the grand inquest of the nation. On the other hand, let the President confront his accuser, and offi cially deny the official declaration of the duke of Bassano, and the national character would be in so much retriev ed, the honor of administration in so far vindicated. For himself, Mr. H. said, he could not help thinking, as an Ame rican he could not help hoping, the French minister would be convicted of a wanton, groundless official falsehood. Guilt rested somewhere, and he himself hoped it could be fastened on France. Mr. Hanson said, that Faber in his Sketches of the internal state oi France,” (a book which ought to be in the hands of every citizen of this and any other country) said that in France was exhibited the most extraordinary phenomenon ever known, a moral pro digy unexampled in the history of man kind,” which was the regular syste matic elaborate organization of false hood as the basis of the government and the soul of all its public acts.” Now, sir, said he, when the question is put whether this government will exhi bit to the world the evidence to sustain this declaration, at least as far as admi nistration is concerned, and so demon strate to the world the fraud and rank corruption of the military despotism so well described by the author mentioned, or tacitly admit the imputation against the President of having betrayed the people and truckled to a tyrant, there should be no division upon the ques tion; a zealous enthusiastic rivalry should be displayed by the two parties in the House in rallying round the ho nor of their own government. It was but reasonable to expect that few, very few, would be found hardy enough to vote in the negative. As a party man, I am free to confess, said Mr. Hanson, it will be the cause of no great agony of grief with me, to see the. resolutions rejected. But love of country, the great and sole foundation of all public virtue, cheerfully yields the triumph, which such a vote would assure to the minority. You, sir, are not now to be informed that thousands and hundreds of thousands of the free and enlightened people of this republic, judging from the mysterious acts of ad ministration, the constant and (in my judgment) abominable practice of sup pressing information, and a curious co incidence in our measures, and those of a foreign power, arc firmly persuaded, if not rivetted in the opinion, that the destinies of this nation arc directed by a distant hand. They know that France, ever since her regicidal sera, when the mild and amiable Louis was butchered, has arrogated and haughtily exercised the right of superseding, by a code of her own, all the sacred and recognized principles of the laws of nations—this France that fawns over her prey, and courts whom she designs to destroy whose annals of p rfidy, usurpation and blood have blotted the history of man, and at last provoked the wrath of the Almighty whose arm has been made bare to smite the monster identified with her crimes. This people think that France has plundered us of our property without one manly effort to re cover or protect it—cramped us in our industry without our daring to com plain at first assigned limits to our commerce, and finally forced us to unite in measures for its destruction—robbed us of our honor—chained us to the car of the conqueror; coerced us to shout Hosannahs to his fame, and fabricate apologies for his misfortunes—twisted a knot about our necks, which we are told the tyrant’s sword alone can cut. Will you reject these resolutions, and thus confirm all that will be, can be, and ought to be thought and said touching French influence There exists, said Mr. H. another and a very important reason why the majo rity should proceed cautiously, evincing a delicacy of honor, a nice sensibility, on a question which is to decide upon their pretensions to whatever an honest party properly appreciates. In addition to the intimation by the imperial prime minister that the privations and mise ries witii which the country has been af flicted lor the last year, have been bro’t upon us by the concealment of a docu ment which would have prevented the war, it communicated to Congress—that our smoking and bleeding frontier has been visited with the most awful cala mities, through the treachery of our rulers in addition to these considera tions, upon a late and memorable occa sion, the invincible and super-eminent Napoleon” declared to his Conservative Senate of slaves, in pretty direct terms, that we were engaged in a common cause with him. I hese are his words America has recurred to arms to cause the sovereignty of her Hag to be respected. The wishes of the world accompany her in this glo rious comest. If it terminates in obliging the enemy oj the continent to recognize the princi ples tnat the fag shall protect the merchandize and crew, and that neutrals ought not to submit to paper blockades, (ail is conformable to the treaty of Uretcht) .America will meet the ap plause of the world.” Such, Mr. Speaker, is the language of the late assumed Autocrat of ail the states of the continent. The war is not to cease until England recognizes a new interpolation into the maritime code of nations, in other words until the Napoleon code is adopted which shall give to the neutral flag, a piece of striped bunting, backed by quaker can non, the magical effect of preserving inviolate all that sails under it, of pro tecting whatever is covered by it. Yes, sir, this new point of international law the invincible” and generous con queror,” seated on his imperial throne, covered by a canopy I dare say not less splendid than that above your head, Mr. Speaker, surrounded by his scullion princes and mock grand dignitaries of the empire, has promulgated for the government of nations—for our gui dance—for the government of The petty men Who walk under his huge legs and peep about To find themselves dishonorable graves. Mr. H. said, it appears too, from the same laconic notice our loving friend has deigned to take of this most en lightened nation of the world, that with the same solemnity, and on the same occasion, he has declared to the auto mata around him, for this new princi ple the Americans fight,’ and for so fighting have gained the world’s ap plause, a tyrant’s praise, the friendship of a cut-purse of the empire and the rule.’ Yes, the Great Napoleon has written, has spoken, has promulged it to the nations of the world, that we fight Great Britain for such a principle —all is conformable to the treaty of Utrecht!—while a curious similarity of sentiment is to be found between the late message of the President and the speech of the Emperor, upon the point, that the flag shall cover the merchan dize and crew’—that /rec ships shall make free goods. Is it true or is it false (said Mr. H.) that we are fighting to support such pretensions Such facts we are the panncl to try, and according to my ideas, the decision will be governed by the vote upon these resolut.ons—-Again, is it true We have the word of Napo leon for it, and but yesterday his word would have stood against the world.” Now crippled and prostrate, surely there could be no great danger in bringing our Executive into colli sion with him, whose honor must be protected against an imputed act of malfeasance presupposing the blackest turpitude. If it be false, boldly fling back the contumely, and hurl indig nant defiance in the teeth of the unprin cipled perfidious tyrant. Hesitate, fear not to contradict and expose the man who has dared to assail the integrity and sacred honor of our government. Mr. H. said it was not for those who might concur with hira in opinion, to contradict and quarrel with Bonaparte about the charge of a criminal and im peachable nature against the President, but it was a duty which had especially devolved upon those whose honor and love of country are particularly im plicated. He therefore conjured the majority, as they valued their own fame and their country’s glory, to surcease by one concentaneous impulse, all fur ther opposition to tho resolutions on the table. A deaf ear may be turned to this entreaty, but the day will not be long coming when they will bitterly regret it. Mr. Hanson said he would not be drawn into a discussion of the general merits of the resolutions, as growing out of our foreign relations, upon a mo tion to strike out from the first resolu tion. He would postpone such an ar gument till the proper time arrived; apd concluded with expressing a hope that the words pronounced to be offen sive, would be retained f Debate to be continued.J THE FRIENDS OF THE NAVY. Call you this backing your friends A plague upon such backing, say 1.” The following preamble and resolu tions were proposed and laid upon the table, by the Hon. Mr. Josiah Quincy, and adopted by the Senate. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. IN SENATE JUNE 15 TH, 1813. Whereas a proposition has been made to this Senate for the adoption of sundry resolutions, expressive of their sense of the gallantry and good conduct exhibited bv capt James Law rence, commander of the U. S ship of war Hor net, and the officers and crew of that ship, in the destruction of his Britannic majesty’s ship of war Peacock And whereas it has been found that former resolutions of t his kind, passed on similar occasions, relative to other officers en gaged in a like service, have given great dis content to many of the good people of this com monwealth, it being considered by them as an encouragement and excitement to the continu ance of the present unjust, unnecessary, and ini quitous war and, on that account, the Senate of Massachusetts have deemed it their duty to refrain from acting on the said proposition And also, whereas this determination of the Senate may, without explanation, be miscon strued into an intentional slight of capt. Law rence and denial of his particular merits, the Senate, therefore, deem it their duty to declare that they have a high sense of the naval skill and military and civil virtues of capt. Lawrence and that they have been withheld from acting on said proposition solely from considerations relative to the nature and principle of the pre sent war: And to the end that all misrepresen tations on this subject may be obviated, Resolved, as the sense of the Senate of Massa chusetts, that in a war like the present, -waged ■without justifiable cause, and prosecuted in a man ner which indicates that conquest and ambition are its real motives, it is not becoming a mokal and religious PEoruE to express any approba tion of military or naval exploits, which are not immediately connected with the defence of our sea-coast and soil. P ess THE LOSS OF THE CHESAPEAKE. We are constrained to believe that the British account is partially correct. We have at last lost a frigate, and many valiant officers and brave men but, thanks be to the God of Armies, our flag still waves at home, and in dis tant latitudes, with untarnished lustre. It is twelve months since we have been at war with the most powerful maritime notion that ever existed during which we have taken from them three of their finest frigates, and as many sloops of war, while they have in fact, taken but one from us by dint of arms While we can proudly boast that our naval character has been upheld by Capt. Lawrence, his officers and crew, we are deeply afflicted at their loss. While we mingle our tears with those of the surviving friends, our hearts bleed for our wounded countrymen. Our sympathy, and our gratitude must be their consolation.-' They have de served well of their country, and of every warm friend to Seamen's Bights.” While a few men in the Senate of Massachusetts, at the instigation of Mr. Josiah Quincy, have resolved that it is not becoming a moral and religious people to express any approbation of military or naval exploits;” we would fain, inquire of this great man, and his sage colleagues, whether it be allowa ble and becoming to mingle our tears with those of the bereaved friends of our departed heroes. When Alexan der Hamilton fell in a duel by the hand of the man whom he had calumniated, the best m^n in Boston” tried to honor his memory by the pomp of funeral ob sequies and orations we wish to know if it be, at this time, becoming the same “moral and religious people,” to pay the like honors to the heroic virtues of Pike and Lawrence? In times like these, when every gen erous feeling of the heart is sacrificed at the shrine of rancorous party spirit; when the social virtues are suppressed, and old associates estranged, and friend ship itself immolated, without regret, to this horrible Moloch, we hope we shall be allowed to express our feelings of our gallant countrymen and their deathless exploits, without being oblig ed to ask leave of Mrl Josiah Quincy. Bos. Pat. It appears by the Hahlax papers that Captain Broke headed his boarders. Boarding is a dernier and desperate re sort; and leading the boarders is al waps a duty assigned to the Ist Lieut. Captain Broke’s heading the boarders shewed that he considered the battle desperate at that moment. There is but one instance, within our recollec tion, where the boarders were led by the commander of the boarding vessel; and that was Lord Nelson. His case was desperate; but victory perched up on his banners. If after being out of port but five hours, our vessel stood any thing like an equal chance—it is two to one, she would have carried the Shannon, if the Chesapeake had been at sea ten days be fore the engagement. ib. It appears that Capt. Lawrence and his first Lieutenant were wounded the first broadside; of course the residue of the battle was fought by the Junior Lieutenants, if they were not disabled, and the midshipmen and seamen. We will venture to assert that there is no instance in naval chronicles of so great slaughter in so short a period though Capt. Lawrence’s action with the Pea cock, was attended with more decided execution. ib. THE NATIONAL CHARACTER. Every nation has a peculiar cast of thought. A fearless independence marks and dignifies the American cha racter, southern men as well as north ern men. We are soldierly citizens, and ardently attached to our republican sovereignty —stern to support, and prompt to obey our constitution and bold to resist the invasion of our rights. We arc sons worthy of sires who tempt ed the trackless oce^n and defied the howling wilderness in search of inde pendence. We .reflect a new lustre on the name of Briton, and the time is now fast approaching, nay, it has al ready arrived, when we shall reflect back the stre.-m of descending glory to its fountain. Our naval commanders are to the full equal to those irom whom we derived.our origin. Our General Pike was in no respect an inferior hero to the English Wolfe. His conduct was full as military and his death was as noble, and more affecting. We throw to the winds all those ridiculous distinctions of north and* south, of east and west. We are all Americans, .'.nd every portion of our happy country has produced heroes and statesmen, in stead of boasting that our physical strength lies here or then, let us hope that it is equally and wisely diffused. Let our emulation be to rally around the standard of our nation. Let us magnify her, honor her, obey her laws, and venerate her constitution and fol low the example of the great Washing ton in denouncing any thing like a divi sion. Let us ever bear in mind the fa ble of the arrows collected in a bundle, and the same arrows unbound and se parated. When together, they could not be broken when apart, any man could break one after another. In this advice there is wisdom and safety; in the opposite, folly and anger. Washing ton advised the one, and Josiah Quincy the other. ib. lin WASHINGTON CITY. FRIDAY, JUNE 25. Copy of a letter from Commodore John Cassin to the Sec'ry of the Navy. Navy Yard, Gosport, June 21, 1813. Sir—On Saturday at 11 P. M. Capt. Tarbell moved with the flotilla under his command consisting of 15 gun boats, in two divisions, lieut. John M. Gardner Ist division, and lieut. Robert Henley the 2d, manned from the frigate and 50 musketeers gen. Taylor ordered from Craney Island, and proceeded down the river; but adverse winds and squalls prevented his approaching the enemy until Sunday morning at 4 P. M. when the flotilla commenced a heavy galling fire on a frigate, at about three quarters of a mile distance, laying well up the roads, two other frigates lying in sight. At half past four a breeze sprung up from ENE, which enabled the two frigates to get under way, one a razee or very heavy ship, and the other a frigate, to come nearer into ac tion. The boats in consequence of their approach hauled off, though keeping up a well directed fire on the razee and other ship, which gave us several broadsides. The frigate first engaged, supposed to be the Junon, was certainly very severely handled—had the calm, continued, one half hour that frigate must have fallen into our hands or been destroyed She must have slipt her mooring so as to drop nearer the ra zee, who had all sails set coming up to> her with the other frigate. The action continued one hour and a half with the three ships. Shortly after the action, the razee got along side of the ship, and had her upon a deep careen in a little time with a number of boats and stages round her. lam satisfied considerable damage was done to her, for she was silenced some time, until the razee opened her fire, when she commenced again. Our loss is very trifling. Mr. Allinson, mas ter’s mate on board No. 139 was killed early in the action by an 18 pound ball, which passed through him and lodged in the mast. No. 154 had a shot between wind water. No. 67 had her Franklin shot away, and several of them had some of their sweeps as well their stan tions shot away, but two men slightly injured by the splinters from the sweeps; on the flood tide several ships of the line and frigates came into the roads we did expect an attack last night.— There are now in the Roads, 13 ships of the line and frigates, one brig and se veral tenders. I cannot say too much for the officers and crew on this occasion; for every man appeared to go into action with so much cheerfulness, apparently to do their duty, resolved to conquer. I had a better opportunity of discovering their ctions than any one else, being in my bout the whole of the action. I have the honor to be, B<c. JOHN CASSIN. The Hon. William Jones, Sec’ry of the Navy, Washington. The discussion of the Tax Bills pro gresses in the House of Representatives with a slow and lingering pace. Not yet has one of the twelve bills been dis patched in the committee. The debate which has taken place on them is alto gether on matters of detail; and it is not probable that any debate will arise on the principle of these bills before they are at their third reading. The mails of yesterday produced no further information from our armies. The official accounts we published ia our last sufficiently demonstrate how little reliance is to be placed on the re ports which find their way into the pub lic prints. The hundreds of gen. Lew is’s army whom rumor had most unmer cifully butchered, have come to life agJn—and yet live, we trust, to prove their claim to their country’s gratitude by victorious exploits, or by a more glo rious death than that to which they had been one and all consigned by the he ralds of faction. We cannot let this occasion pass, without adverting to the happy disposi tion in which the account, true or false, of any reverse to our arms, always find some people. Mark reader—when ever you hear a man chuckle at his country’s suffering or his brother’s death, avoid him as you would the venemous toad or deadly nightshade.

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, JUNE 24. Mr. Ward of Mass, presented a pe tition of J. Frothinghan of Boston, mer chant, praying to be relieved from the penalties incurred by him for importa tions of British goods from the British province of Canada, subsequent to the declaration of War.—Referred. Mr. Sherwood presented the petition of Elisha J. Winter, of New-York, praying compensation for a pair of horses, sleigh and harness forcibly taken from him by a detachmentof U. States troops; which was referred to the committee of Claims. Mr. Jennings presented the petition of Capt. Wm. Piatt, praying compen sation for services rendered as Quarter Master to Gen. Harrison’s Army on the Wabash in 1811.-—Referred to the Secretary of War. Mr. Fisk of N. Y. called up the re solutions he yesterday submitted, di recting the committee of elections to enquire into the title of Mr. Bowers of N. Y.<o his seat in this house. A motion was made to postpone the further consideration ot these motions indefinitely. On this motion a discussion took place, in which Messrs. Grosvenor, Shipherd, Benson, Pitkin and Gaston advocated the postponement, and Mess. Fisk, Alston and Burwell oppos d it. •The principal, nay, the only point really in controversy on this discussion was, whether it ought to be permitted to any member, on his own mere mo tion, to institute enquiries into the va lidity of the titles of other members to their seats. On the one hand it was contested that such a .course was contrary to all precedent; that it would prove vexa tious to the sitting members, whose elections ought to be presumed un questionable, until questioned by peti tion, on which foundation alone ought enquiry to be instituted; that a con trary course would open wide the door to imposition and fraud. On the other hand it was contended that itwas not only the right but the duty of every member to enquire into and contest the validity of any election of which he has cause to doubt; that the inability, apathy or sickness of an unsuccessful candidate ought not to be suffered to preclude enquiry into an election, on the face of which it was at least questionable whe ther or not it was legal. Mr. Gaston, who advocated postponement, admitted the competency of any member, or of the House, to institute an enquiry in this case, but contended that it was in expedient to resort to it, unless in ex treme cases. Some discussion also took place relative to the evidence and grounds on which the motion for enquiry was made, &c. and other incidental re marks were made not bearing on the decision of the principle in question. The question of indefinite postpone ment was decided by Yeas and Nays. For the motion 65 Against it 98 A motion was made to lay the reso lution on the table, and negatived. The question was then taken on Mr. Grosvenor’s motion to incorporate in the first resolve the names of John Lefferts and Ebenezer Sage, and decid ed by Yeas and Nays as follows For the amendment 70 Against it 94 The question was then stated on the first resolution, as follows Resolved, That the committee of Elections be instructed to enquire whether John M. Bow ers, a sitting member from the state of New York, is entitled to a seat in this House. Mr. Benson then moved to amend the resolution by adding thereto words to the following effect: and that the committee be instructed not to suffer any person to appear before them as entitled to question said BAection but Isaac Williams, junr. in person, or by his agent duly constituted.” This mo tion was negatived, without a division. The question on the adoption of the first resolution was then decided in the affirmative, ayes 91. The question was then stated on the second resolution in the following words Resolved, That the same committee be in structed to enquire whether Isaac Williams, jun. be not entitled to a seat in this house, in stead of said John M. Bowers.” Mr. Bradley moved to amend the resolution so as to make the enquiry whether any, and if any what person is entitled to the seat now occupied by Mr. Bowers. This modification was adopted by Mr. Bisk as part of his motion. Mr. Gas on opposed the passage of the resolution as unnecessary and irre gular, as being too much like advertis ing for some person to claim the seat now occupied by Mr. Bowers. To this Mr. Alston replied that the course was regular and was the practice of every day in cases of contested elec tions. The question on the passage of the 2d resolution was then decided by Yeas and Nays as follow For its passage 39 Against it 66 THE WAYS AND MEANS. The House then (about 2 o’clock) re solved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Ne Iso n in the chair, on the Tax Bills. The Direct Tax Bill being still un rler consideration, considerable further discussion took place thereon but the committee rose without having gone through it and obtained leave to sit again. A motion was then made by Mr. Pickens to discharge the committee of the whole from the further considera tion of said bill, and recommit it to the committee of Ways and Means; which motion was negatived. And the House adjourned. PRIVATEERS, THEIR SERVICES, &c TO THE EDITORS, Gentlemen, I should suppose that few at this moment would be prepared to deny that the most effectual mode of bringing our enemy to his senses, would be by con-' stantly harrassing his trade, and inter cepting his merchant ships. That our private vessels of war have done him a most serious mischief, and would with proper encouragement greatly aid in furthering the national view in this par ticular, is also equally indisputable. But it would appear that there is with many gentlemen, high in the confidence of the people, an unwillingness to foster this species ot warfare, which, if it does not amount to a direct hostility to, has at least the effect of a great depression of the ardor, with which individuals were ready at the commencement of the war to hazard their fortunes in the public quarrel, and which I have no doubt would still be manifested by ma ny, who having been hitherto foremost in zeal, are discouraged by an apparent disposition in the government to divest them of the fruits of their enterprize, under the provisions of a law pre-exist ing the declaration of war, and in com mon understanding controled in its effect by that declaration. It may not be known to many of your readers, that although a great quantity of British property has been taken on the high seas by private vessels of war, a considerable portion of which was at a great distance from and a small a mount thereof was found entering the waters of the U. States, the government has indiscriminately laid claim to the whole, and the owner who has hazarded his capital and the seaman who has ha zarded his life in the pursuit of the enemy’s trade, has found his sole remu neration in a collector’s seizure, and the prospect that his efforts would answer the patriotic purpose of throwing a heavy penalty in the coffers of govern ment. When the prize law declared that so much of any act or acts as prohibit the importation of goods, wares, and merchandize, of the growth, produce and manufacture of the dominions, co lonies and dependencies of the United Kingdom of G. Britain and Ireland, or of goods, wares and merchandize im ported from the same, be and the same is hereby repealed, so far as the same may prohibit the importation or intro duction int® the U. States and their ter ritories, of such goods, wares or mer chandize as may be captured from the enemy, and made good and lawful prize of war, either by vessels having letters ®f marque or reprisal, or by vessels of war of the U. States”—-it could hardly have been supposed, that th® construc tion which would be considered as justly governing such a provision, would be that the government had a prior and therefor a better right to pro perty of the enemy, seized on the high seas by a private vessel of war than the captors, because such property had been laden in England, with the intent to be introduced into the United States under the supposition that the non-im portation law had ceased. Such a construction, too, must have. sppe<ed to privateer owners the more unnatural, when they referred to the terms of their commissions, which, without exception or reservation, gave full authority to seize as prize of war all enemy’s property, whether within or without the waters of the U. States. It certainly can be no matter of won der that this species of service should of late have languished, whenlt is sta ted that the principal fruits of many most expensive expeditions arise from enemy’s property so circumstanced, against which the government has pro ceeded on its proper account by libel, and which are consequently locked up altogether from the real equitable own ers, the captors. Like ever}' other business, that of cruizing against the enemy must yield a return or it must be discontinued in this instance cruizes highly successful, if enemy’s property be prize of war, have operated as a discouragement of the service, the means being exhausted without any proportionate return. The disgust, too, which a claim ap parently so extravagant, (which amounts to nothing less than that the govern ment shall enjoy the whole produce of the labor, risque, expense and blood of its adventurous citizens) is calculated to produce, proves no slight drawback on the private armed service, for in this as in all things else connected with the public, the exertion of the individual is very much in proportion to his confi dence in the justice of the govern ment. I hold it clear that it never could have been the intention of the Legisla ture to convert the profits of cruizing to public purposes, to the exclusion of the captor himself, and if upon an astute and far-fetched construction of the se veral acts on this subject, some of which may be irreconcileable with each Other, such an injustice may by possi bility be committed, would it not in the present state of affairs highly comport as well with justice as expediency to apply as speedily as possible a legisla tive remedy to the mischief That these penalties generally slip through the fingers of government is well known to those who have at all at tended to the general turn which such prosecutions take in our courts, so that it is much to be apprehended that the United States in depriving the captor of his just claim, will derive no benefit to the revenue from the injustice com mitted to the citizen. It is not in our power at this time to form a correct estimate of the amount of enemy’s.property which may be de tected on board of vessels regularly ar riving within the United States in con travention of the non-importation act, and of which consequently the penalty is not remitted by the late act of grace, but as yet we have heard of none ot which the condemnation has been pro cured by the government, and as there will be in all likelihood American claim ants for the whole, the writer of this article does not think he presumes too far, when he hazards the assertion that the greater part will elude the law. In this opinion he is fortified by the fact, that in almost every instance of li bel by captors, upon even the stron gest proof of belligerent interest found in private letters, invoices, bills of lading &.c. accompanying the property, and to which the captors had the benefit of ac cess upon the seizure (a benefit which the United States in most instances have not, except through the interven tion of the private armed vessels J claims on oath have been filed by A merican claimants in the teeth of the documents, from which the inference is irresistible, that in all such cases, if the captors had not intervened, the property would have been securely claimed from the U. S. under the late act of remission, the claimants having the opportunity of garbling the papers and producing only such ot them as would suit their purposes. If the right of the captors should be doubtful from the strength of such as severations, although contradicted by the documents, how much more doubt ful would be the right of the United States, unaided by a recurrence to any papers but such as the claimant, most interested in blinding the government, would think fit to produce? The difficul ty of proof on a regular proceeding would certainly be insurmountable, when the United States must principal ly rest on the conscience of the claim ant, who has already sworn to his rights. When then the claim would in all likelihood never have been realised by the government, if it were not for the interposition of the captor, is it too much to ask of the justice of Congress, that a demand in itself in most instances of no value, should be surrendered to to the captor, who, by his enterprize, detects the belligerent interest under what he deemed a public pledge, that what he detected and seized should be a prize of war. The House of Representatives at the last session must have viewed the mat ter in the light represented, as they passed a bill relinquishing the ciaim of the government to the captors—that it was not acted on in the Senate, was at tributed to the lateness of the session when the question was brought forward. As a friend to the vigorous prosecution of the war, the only means of securing the blessing of a speedy and honorable peace, I should be happy to sec Con gress, at its present sitting, disposed to do this act of justice to those whose ex ertions have heretofore been so service able, and from whose undiminished zeal and activity, if duly encouraged, the most favorable results may yet be anti cipated. There are some additional views of the question with which I may beg leave to trouble you on a future occasion. AMERICAN GROUND. This day (says the Boston Chronicle of the 17th) commences the 38th anni versary of the ever-memorable battle o- Bunker-Hill: a day glorious in the an nals of the American history—a day in which the freemen of Massachusetts dis played their patriotism and prowess in defending themselves against the tyran nical claims of Britain. On that day the friendship of Britain was exercised in setting fire to the town of Charlestown and their religion displayed by enve loping in flames the sanctuary of Deity. Our brave and intrepid yeomanry con tended against this band of ruffians, and impressed on the minds of these san guinary myrmidons the fear and dread of encountering freemen while vindicat ing their rights. Headed by a Joseph Warren, they crimsoned the field of battle with the blood of twelve hundred of these desperate assailants At this early period of our revolution ary warfare, we became thus formidable, and the British troops were soon taught to respect American valor. No dastard ly policy then poisoned our councils. Massachusetts in particular commenc ed the contest; and our sister states scorned to refuse the assistance of their militia in defence of their injured coun try. No hypocritical canting excus.es were made from their chief magistrates, to check the ardor of the public mind, but, like brethren in a common cause, they sent forth their troops with alacri ty, and cheerfully embodied their mili tary energies to form a phalanx of he roes, worthy of a Washington to com mand. These were the feelings of the citi zens when Britain claimed the right to tax us in all cases whatever.” How degraded then must those wretches be who now urge a submission to the claim of impressing our seamen, and readily expose them to all the cruelties which the most arrogant scoundrel in the British navy may inflict Cold-hearted men, whose souls are callous to all the tender sensations of sympathy, may say this is an unjust war—that to fight for property in 1775, was right, but to de fend the rights of seamen in 1812, is wrong—that a war for three pence duty on tea was just, but a controversy for the protection of the lives, liberty and property of our citizen sailors, is unne. cessary and inexpedient! What high er claim have the British to enter our vessels to search for their subjects, than to go into a court of law, and arrest within the bar such lawyers as they may see fit to claim as deserters from West minster A sailor’s personal security is as dear to him as that of a Gover nor’s, Senator’s, Representative’s or Lawyer's, and we believe a great deal more beneficial than the latter. But if the British should assume the right to impress lawyers when they pleased, the -whole bar would become clamorous for a war in their defence. In such a case though it might became a ques tion whether they did us an essential injury,” yet as it relates to our seamen we must all declare that a war in their defence is just and honorable. Though pampered individuals in the pulpit, the bar, &c. &c. may hold the rights of seamen as of little value, yet this class of citizens will ever be estimated as highly serviceable to society. They will ever claim the hearty wishes of all honest men. Their scourges, their com plaints, and their bleeding wounds, will always excite the commiseration of the patriot, and none but dastards and cowards would call a war in their defence unjust or inexpedient. It is said that the republicans are urging an unnecessary war—On the contrary, we are desirous of peace. We open our arms to all the world, and most heartily reciprocate their friend ship—but this peace must not be de ceptive—Let it be founded on a perma nent basis, and we are ready to maintain it inviolate. If the treaty of peace is not violated till it is done by the re publicans, the world would remain in quietude till the angel of Heaven should declare, that time should be no lon ger,” and the olive branch would be the last vestige of creation that would be dissolved in the universal conflagration. But if war is necessary in the cause of freedom and independence, the unfurled flag would be displayed amid the cloud capp’d towers,” and become the last wreck in the dissolution of na ture. While these men cry for peace, we would ask what is peace? “Is it to st Ik about and draw fresh air, and gaze upon the sun Is it to fill the coffers of insatiable avarice Is it to wear the livery of British vassals Is it to re ceiv the rewards of servile submission? No—it is to be free.” Peace without liberty, is war in its most terrific atti tude. It is purtraying human misery in its most horrid deformity. Can there be peace while a single freeman is suf fering under the severe inflictions of a foreign despot Can a nation be at peace while a tyrant is making war on its citizens On this day, then, let us revert to the glorious exploits of our heroes in the field, and the firm resolutions of ®ur patriots in council. The annals of Massachusetts exhibit the steady in flexible decisions of our state conven tions, in unison with the intrepid measures adopted by Congress. Our Union was cemented with the blood of the illustrious Joseph Warren, and the warriors who fell on Bunker’s heights form the indissoluble links which com pose the chain of our national indepen dence and cursed” be the man, or the body of men who shall dissolve a connection on which the destinies of future generations are so essentially interwoven. Republicans—be firm, be deliberate, and He who separated you from the thraldom of Britain will never suffer you to become a prey to a domestic faction. THE VOICE OF HANCOCK. JUSTICE.

Hence, each number will contain select Biography of eminent Judges and Lawyers—Extracts from scarce and valuable publications—Opinions of foreign Jurists upon cases sent from Virginia and North Carolina before the Revolution, never before published —Arguments and Opinions of Judges and Counsel in important cases—and such Essays as have a tendency to enlighten the progress of Public Sentiment on certain projected alte rations of the Law, particularly that deeply interesting topic, the reformation of the Cri minal Code. Speeches of merit on subjects of permanent interest, discussed in the Legisla ture, will occasionally be inserted. Conditions—-Each number will contain from 140 to 160 octavo pages, printed on fine medium paper, and with an elegant new type, cast in Philadelphia for the work.
