The sub scription list to the paper is very respectable, and daily augmenting.—The advertising cus tom is extensive, and highly lucrative.—At the present time, there are perhaps few situations that afford more certain means of a steady and genteel support. The patronage awarded to the paper, is not fleeting and uncertain—for more than 27 years it has continued to lend its cheering influence, and to reward (amply re ward) the zeal and industry of the various pro prietors. At no time since the existence of the establishment, has this patronage flowed more warmly than at the present period. Thu Printing-Office is abundantly supplied with every requisite material—has always had and will no doubt retain (under proper manage ment) a full share of employment in the vari ous branches.

vongress. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. DEBATE ON MR. WEBSTER’S RESOLU TIONS, CON TINUED. Mr. FARROW said he could not agree with the hon. member from Ma ryland (Mr. Wright) in wishing the re solutions before the House to pass. The Twelfth Congress passed a resolu tion requesting the Executive to give the information that is again called for. He did return an answer, which was sa tisfactorily received by the last Con gress. Information, in reply to those inquiries, is not the object of the hon. member from New Hampshire. If the information now sought for, was the true object, it was as much wanting the first day or week of the session as at this time, and it would have been as proper to have moved the resolutions before you then as at this time. Con gross met the first and second weeks of the session, and adjourned almost as soon rs tlv y met-—no business before th® House—waiting for the Committee of Ways and Means to prepare their report. The said Committee has now furnished the House with their report; and the moment after the report was made, those resolutions were moved. Wh should that have been the favora ble moment for their appearance Those resolutions arc intended as a plea in bar to the demand of this nation for money. [Mr. Speaker stated that it was not proper to state the motives of the mem ber from New Hampshire.] Mr. Far roxf proceeded, and remarked that the lion, member from Virginia (Mr. Shef fey) observed, that this government had been wickedly involved in war with England. Mr. F. contended, that as war had been declared by the constitu ted authority, that it did not now be come the duty of the Thirteenth Con gress to inquire into the policy of the war—that as to his part he was not sent here for that purpose. But, as he un derstood,this session was called to pro vide ways and means for carrying on the war. Suppose, upon an inquiry, that it should be found that it was not the policy of this country to go to war Congress cannot make peace one na- tion can make war, but it requires two to make peace. Therefore, to go imo the inquiry would be a nugatory act, and an unnecessary waste of time. H therefore moved, that the considaration ol me resolutions before the House be indefinitely jiostftaned. Mr. OAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, my slight ac quaintance with the*rules of the House, does not enable me to determine, whether the mo tion just made by the honorable gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Farrow) to postpone indefinitely the consideration of the resolutions now before us, so far supercedes the motion yesterday made by his hon. colleague (Mr. Cal houn) to amend the first of these resolutions, as to render it improper for me in this stage of the debate to reply to the observations of the latter gentleman in support of his amend ment- If I am in order in pursuing this course; I shall venture to call the attention of the House, in the first instance, to the nature of the amendment and its effect on the resolutions un der discussion. The gentleman from S. C. in proposing this amendment, professed, and no doubt with great sincerity, a willingness to afford all the inform ation which is desired on the subjects embrac ed by these resolutions; but he seemed to think that ihe'terms of the resolution, which he wishes to amend, are too particular to com port with the respect due from this House to the Chief Magistrate—as they appear to afford the ground of an inference, that to a call for information in a more general shape, he might be disposed to make an unsatisfactory or eva sive answer. Tha gentleman seemed also to think, that the objects intended to be obtained by the words which he proposes to strike out, are subslansially included in the second and third resolutions—and he further objects, that although all the information in the possession of the government, as to the time at which the first intelligence of the decree of the French government of the 28th April, 1811, was re ceived, may properly be demanded by this House—still it would be unprecedented and improper to enquire as to the manner in which such intelligence was obtained—or the agents through whom it was communicated, or at all events that these things ought to be the sub ject of a distinct and future enquiry, if the answer of the Executive to the resolution in its general form should render such an enquiry important. I am unable, sir, to discern in what point of view this resolution can be considered as dis respectful to the Executive. If particular in formation is required, particular inquiries must necessarily be made. It will be recollected by the House, that the resolution adopted near the close of the last session, on the motion of the hon. gentleman from Maryland behind me (Mr G Idsborough), and in reply to which the H' use received the information now in their possession, relative to the French decree in question—was in a more general form than th. t now under consideration. It is to be pre sumed, that the Executive in answer to that re solution gave the House all the facts which he considered as coming properly within its scope and meaning—and yet it must be perceived that his answer is wholly unsatisfactory', and that the necessity tor the present resolution has grown out of the defective information then given to the House. It is proper, therefore, that this call should be precise in its terms, and that the attention of the Executive should be particularly directed to the points on which information is deemed important. Nor, sir, can I agree with the hon gentleman from S. Carolina, that the second and third re solutions are calculated to produce the effect in tended by the tvords, which he proposes to strike out of the first. The object of the se cond resolution is to ascertain whether Mr. Russell has ever admitted or denied to his gov ernment the truth of the declaration ofAhe Duke of Bas^ino, to Mr. Barlow. It will be acknowledged, that to a complete vindication of the character of the administration—an ex plicit denial by Mr. Russell of the truth of that declaration, is absolutely essential. And, sir, as to the third resolution, it is equally impor tant that it should be explicitly known, whe ther the minister of France has eVer made an communication to this government, on the sub ject of that decree. But it will be perceived, that the terms of the first resolution may be fully complied with by the Executive, without explicitly saying to this House, whether such a denial on the one hand, or such a communica tion on the other, has ever been made. Facts, so important as these, ought not to rest on mat ter of inference from any general answer of the Executive—but they ought to be established by a direct and positive declaration. Neither, sir, can I agree wi.h the hon. gen ileman, that it is unprecedented or improper for this House to enquire as to the manner in which the information required by this resolu tion was obtained by the government, or the agency through which such information was derived. That such an enquiry is not unpre cedented, will appear sufficiently by the reso lution yesterday read from the journals by my venerable colleague (Mr. Benson.) But, sir, we, e it unprecedented, it is time that a prece dent should be made. The calls of this House for information on subjects of deep importance, ought to be so specific in their terms, and so direct in their object, as to be incapable of be ing either misunderstood or evaded. Nor, sir, can such an enquiry be improper. The agents of this government, from the highest to the lowest, are constitutionally subject to the ani madversion of this House—and if the nature of the case require it, to the legal animadversion of this Hou^, in the due exercise of its power of impeachment. If, then, in relation to the subject matter of these resolutions, any agent of the government has violated his duty, it is important that this House should know it; and if the agent of any foreign power has been fuilty of withholding from this government important information, when directed to com municate it, it is equally necessary that the fact should be disclosed; for ^though this House may not possess the power of inflicting the punishment due to such an offence, yet it may adopt, and ought to adopt, such measures as would compel the Executive to demand the re cal of that agent by his own government. I would then prosecute this enquiry with rigor and perseverance, although the result might implicate the predecessor of Mr. Barlow at the court of France, or reach even the representa tive of the truth and honor of his imperial and royal majesty, near the U. S. But, sir, if the reasons urged by the gentle man from S. Carolina are well founded, they ap ply with greater force to shew the impropriety of the second and third resolutions, than of the first; and I foresee, that if this resolution is amended-in the manner now proposed, wt shall soon hear a motion to reject those which fol low. It is, then, because I consider this amend ment calculated to frustrate the object of these resolutions, and to defeat the enquiry contem plated by them and because such an inten tion is now distinctly avowed by the motion to postpone them indefinitely, that I must beg the indulgence of the House while I state, as con cisely as I am able, the view which I have taken of the whole subject now before us. In doing this, sir, I shall not follow the ex ample of the gentleman from S. Carolina, by indulging in an unnecessary warmth, which may serve to irritate, but never to convince. Nor, sir, shall I attempt any reply to most of the observations which have fallen from the hon. gentlemon from Maryland (Mr. Wright.) That gentleman seemed to have in view a gene ral defence of the conduct of the administra tion in its management of our foreign relations —a subject not connected with the resolutions now before the house, and which would neces sarily lead us into a wide field of debate, where little of novelty is to be found. Neither shall I advert to the remarks of that gentleman, which seemed to me designed to reflect on the character of this side' of the House—because I have understood that that hon. gentleman is privileged to say many things, which, it is not considered incumbent on any one here to answer. But, I shall proceed with much cool ness, but as plainly as the nature of the case may demand, to state the reasons which have produced a complete conviction on my mind, that the adoption of these resolutions, and a satisfactory answer to thena by the executive are absolutely necessary to the vindication of the national honor. To understand correctly the nature and im portance of the subject now under discussion, it is requisite to bring into view the state of our relations with France and G. Britain, at the date of the decree of the 28th April 1811. I am not about to enter at large into the sub ject of the French decrees and the British Or ders in Council. It is not important here to do so—and if it were, a due respect for the talents of eminent gentlemen who have gone before me, would deter me from travelling over ground so thoroughly explored. would he more than vain in me to hope to present any new views of a subject so completely exhausted. It is sufficient for my purpose to state such facts respecting these decrees and orders, and the policy pursued by our government in rela tion to them, as I have understood to be gene rally admitted. The blockade of May 1806, established by the government, although in the first instance considered by the present Secretary of State as a conciliatory measure, was afterwards alledg ed by France, and then by our Bwn adminis tration, to be hostile to our neutral rights and a direct violation of the laws of nations. France claiming a right to retaliate, promulgated in October following the Berlin decree. 'To this succeeded on the same alledged ground of reta liation, the Orders in Council, and to these the decree of Milan. Each of the belligerent pow ers thus rested the justification of its hostile edicts on the previous alledged injustice and wrongs of the other. Our administration though denying in terms the existence of this right of retaliation, yet in its acts and its cor respondence seemed to recognize it. It la boured hard to convince each belligerent, that each Was the original aggressor—and by a long course of humiliating solicitation and intreaty, it endeavored to induce each to take the lead in rescinding the edicts of which we complain ed. At length, by the act of Congress of the Ist of May, 1810, it was provided that when ever either France or England should so revoke her decrees or orders, that they should cease to violate the neutral rights of the U. States, the Preside t should by proclamation declare the fact and that from thenceforth the act of non intercourse should cease to operate against the power thus revoking—and that if within three months after such proclamation, the other pow er did not also revoke, the provisions of that act should be inforced against it. In this sta’e of things a declaration was made by the French minister of loreign affairs to Cie Americ n minister at Paris, on the sth of August, 1810— tnat the decrees of Berlin and Milan were re voked and would cease to have effect on the Ist of November following. The President of the C. States considering this declaration as amounting to a repeal of these decrees, within the meaning of the act of,the Ist of May, and implicitly confiding that that declaration would be fulfilled in good faith by the French govern ment—on the 2d day of November, 1810, pub lished his proclamation announcing the fact that diese decrees were repealed. A demand was made on the British government to follow the example thus set by France. On the part of that government it was contended that the de laration of the French minister was not such a formal act as ought to be required by the U. States, and that the French decrees ought to be revoked in a manner as authentic as that in which they were promulgated. That even r' there were no objections to that declaration on that ground, if it was to be considered a repeal at all—it was clearly a repeal depending on a condition precedent to be performed by the U. States, and that such a conditional revocation did not come within the meaning of the act of Congress. She therefore refused to revoke the Orders in Council, and the provisions of the non-intercourse act were revived against her by the act of the 2d of March, 1811. On the 21st of April 1812, by a declaration of thd British government, it Was provided, that if at any time thereafter, the Berlin and Milan decrees should by some authentic act of the French government, publicly promulgated, he absolutely and unconditionally repealed, then and from thenceforth the orders in coun cil should be wholly and absolutely revoked.” Mr. Barlow, then the minister of the United States at Paris having received this declara tion, addressed a note to the duke of Bassano, dated the first of May, 1812, in which is the following passage “It is much to be desired, that the French government would now make and publish an authentic act, declaring the Berlin and Milan decrees, as relative to the U. States, to have ceased in November, 1810, de claring that they have not been applied in any instance since that time, and that they shall not be so applied in future.” By the letter of the 12th of May, 1812, fiom Mr Barlow to the Secretary of State, we are informed, that in a con versation with the duke of Bassano on the subject of that note, there appeared a sin gular reluctance' on the part of the French Minister to answer it. In that conversation, we for the first time, hear of the decrees of the French government of the 28 th of April, 1811. When, in the conversation above alluded to,” (says Mr. Barlow) the duke first produc ed to^me the decree of the 28. h of April, 1811, I made no comment on the strange manner in which it had been so long concealed from me, and probably from you. I only asked him if that decree had been published. He said no but, he declared, it had been communicated to my predecessor herei and likewise sent to Mr. Serrurier, with orders to communicate it to you" On the VOlh of May, 1812, this decree was for the first time made known to the British go vernment. On the 18th of June war was de clared by the United States. On the 23d of the same month the orders in council were re pealed. Ot the 4th of November last, the French decree of the 28vh of April, 1811, was first laid before Congress— and on the 3d of March last, the letter of Mr. Barlow to the Se cretary of State of the 12th of May, 1812, containing the declaration of the duke' of Bas sano relative to that decree, was drawn from the Executive by the resolution adopted by this House on the motion of my friend from Maryland. 1 have thus, sir, endeavored to give a con cise, and I flatter myself, a correct statement of facts connected with the decrees and orders of France and G. Britain, and with the mea sures adopted by the U. States in relation to them. From this statement, we shall not be at a loss to discover the import of the decla ration of the duke of Bassano, and the nature and extent of the charge which that declara tion fixes on the honor of this country, and the men who administer its government. Great Britain professed always, without doubt, until her declaration of the 21st of April, 1812, her readiness to proceed pari passu' wilh France in a revocation of her edicts agains’ neutral commerce. She called repeatedly for authen tic evidence of the alledged repeal of the Ber lin and Milan decrees. The decree of the 28th of April, 1811, constituted that evidence. On the supposition that that decree was made at the time it bears date, then has it been con cealed, either by the French government or our own, or by both, in concert, for the pur pose of preventing the repeal of the orders in Council, and thus cheating and betraying Con gress and this people into the ruinous war under which we are now suffering. The declaration of the duke of Bassano fixes this charge ex clusively on the American government. It is a serious charge, and well merits an examina tion of the grounds on which it rests. I will not, sir, on this occasion say what is my own opinion of the truth of this allegation of the French minister of foreign affairs. It ,is not necessary that I should do so. But it well becomes gentlemen on the other side of the House who consider themselves the guar dians of the honor of the adminstration—it well becomes us all, who are in ruth th? guardian# of the national honor, to consider what opinion on this subject would be formed by a dispas sionate man upon the evidence now before the public. Such a man must consider the govern ments of the United Slates and France at issue on a point deeply affecting the honor of both. The question between them, to his mmd, is plain and simple. Did the French minister of foreign affairs declare a positive official falsehood; or has this administration suppress ed an important document with a view of plunging this nation into war With England There are, sir, many considerations which would at once present themselves to the mind ofsuch.aman in support of the truth of the duke*»tf Bassano’s declaration. Let us adopt the train of reasoning which he-would natural ly pursue, and see to what conclusion it will 'lead us. In the first place then, this declaration of the duke of Bassano is a formal, official de claration of the French government made through its minister of foreign affairs. The American minister at Faris immediately on the receipt of the declaration of the British go vernment of the 21st of April, 1812, by a note to the duke of Bassano, solicits that' France would then make and publish an authentic re peal of her decrees. Ina subsequent official conversation between Mr. Barlow and the French minister, the latter prodilc is the de cree of the 28th of April, 1811, and explicitly deciares, that that decree, being the au thentic act required by Great Britain, and fur nishing complete evidence of the repeal of the Berlin and Milan decrees, bad been made known to the government of the U. States. No declaration could be mere formal. The personal veracity of the French minister, his official character, and the faith and honor of the French government are all pledged for its truth. A declaration thus solemnly made by one government in its official intercourse with another, is at all times entitled to credit. But it may be urged, that the character of the French government for bad faith is such, that no implicit reliance ought to be placed on its official acts—that its history shews, that it has always been ready to sacri fice its truth and honor to its arabition, and that it has always been false, when falsehood would promote it views. Sir, such considerations present themselves with great force to my mind and no doubt, to the minds of those gentlemen who sit around me. With our views of the character and conduct of the French government, little is wanting to convince us, that it is capable of every thing treacherous, and all that is dis honorable. But, sir, these things ought to be. said with caution by the friends of this admin istration. They may criminate where they are seeking to justify. f Speech to be concluded in our next-J WASHINGTON CITY. FRIDAY, JULY 9.

Copy of a letter from Com. Lewis to the Secretary oj the JVavy. Off Sandy Hook, July 6, 1813. Sir—l have the pleasure to inform you of the capture of the British sloop tender (Eagle) which for some time had been employed by commodore Beresford for the purpose of burning the coasters, &c Her force was two offi cers and 11 men, with a 32 brass howit zer. This service was performed in a most gallant officer-like manner by Sailing master Percival, who, with volunteers from the flotilla which I have the honor to command, jumped on board a fishing smack, ran the enemy along aide, and carried him by a coup de main. I am sorry to add, that in thia little affair, the enemy lost the commanding officer, one midshipman mortally wounded and two seamen badly. lam happy to say we suffered no injury, which is to be attri buted to the superior management of Sailing-master Percival, and the cool ness with which Jiis men fired, for which they all deserve well of their country. I have the honor to be, &c. J. LEWIS, Cem. U. S. Flotilla. Hon. Wm. Jones, Secretary of the Navy. P. S. The capture was on Sunday the 4th inst. The House of Representatives have at length disposed of the memorial from the Massachusetts Legislature, by post poning it till December. There was a desultory debate in the House yester day on this subject. The members of Opposition generally advocated Sc voted for its postponement. The Republican Members divided’ on the question, some voting to refer it to a committee, in order to have its insidious tendency and false assertions exposed; others con tending that it was beneath the dignity of the House to enter into a political disputation with any body of men on their presentation to the House, of an argument on a political ques tion—and an argument the M mo rial is merely, because it prays the a doption of no particular measure, nor for specific relief from any particu lar grievance. One circumstance which has marked the proceedings of both Houses of Congress in relation to this Memorial is worthy of note :—that is, that it has been treated with the most fastidious delicacy, as well towards the motives of the memorialists as to the contents of their memorial. The con duct of the Republicans in relation to this State Paper, which was, to say the least of it, of a most inflammatory as well as deceptive character, reminds us of a verse we have some where seen, beginning Tender-handed squeeze a nettle, &c.” the import of which was, though we do not remember the words, that the most insignificant plant becomes formidable when approached with timidity; altho’, if grasped with firmness, it would have been as innoxious as any other htrmless weed. We need not apply the fable— iis relation to the factitious importance which has been given to the Remon str mce, is too obvious to need pointing out. ICT 3 We have received several com munications of Anniversary celebra tions. &c. which are unavoidably post poned until to-morrow. FROM THE BRITISH FLEET. Whether the following article be semi-official, or not, we do not know. It has at least an air of authority about it. It comes from what has been deem ed (in such matters) an authentic source, and we must hope, for the ho nor of humanity, that it may be true i From the Georgetown Federal Republican. The statement of the women of Hampton be ing violated by the British, turns out to be false. A correspondence upon that subject and the pillage said to have been committed there, has taken place between Gen. Taylor and Ad. War ren. Some plunder appears to have been com mitted, but it was confined to the French troops employed. Ad. Warren complains on his pact of the Americans continuing to fire upon the struggling crews of the barges after they were sunk. It is said, that it was the wish of most of the land officers to give up Craney Island, but the officers of the navy determined to de fend it at all hazards. The British appear tp have been grossly misinformed as to the proba ble resistance of the place, when they made their attack. The British carried away all the horses from Hampton they could collect, for the purpose of drawing their artillery, as is said. CHESAPEAKE AND SHANNON. SALEM, JUNE 30. Capt. John Upton, late commander o the privateer Cossack, of this port, ar rived at Boston on Monday, in tbe brig Victory, a licenced vessel, from Liver pool, N. S. Capt. U. left Hal.fax on the 29th inst. The brig Porcupine from France had arrived at Halifax. Captain Broke was recovering. From capt. Up ton we learn (what has before been ru mored) that the conduct of the enemy on board the Chesapeake, after her cap ture, was such as would disgrace evert his majesty’s red allies of the wildcr-« ness. Capt. Upton boarded at the same house with the surviving midshipmen and other officers of the Chesapeake, from them he learnt the following par-ARTICUIARS OF THE SHANNON. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at East port to his friehd in Portsmouth, N. 11. dated June 11. I have conversed with a gentleman to day who is particularly acquainted with the force of the Shannon he says she has the guns of a SIXTY-FOUR on her main deck, and brass pieces on her quarter and forecastle*—- and brass pieces in her tops. Besides these she has a number of very fine brass pieces, slung with tackle, so as to poise and point them in any direction they wish, but especial ly to cut away the tops of their enemy. The Shannon, he says, carries in all sixty gun and in every respect is much superior to the Africa, and superior to any of our frigates.- He has been on board of both and further states that they have on board every kind of implements of combustible matter that it is possible to think of. The intention of the com mander of the Shannon, was if possible to board in case he should have an engagement with one of out’ frigates, and therefore Was prepared for that purpose. In fact, the gentleman says she is equal to almost any sixty gunship the’ English have, except those which are particu larly equipt and manned for the purpose of meeting with one of our frigates. Captain Broke’s crew are all p eked and has also a number of supernumeraries lately received on board. In case he did engage one of our ships, he meant to take her at ail events.” Could there be a plainer tacit acknow ledgment of the superior naval skill of America than appears in the above facts^— An English thirty-eight gun ship in force of guns, and probably of men, converted into a ship of at least a fifty gun rate, besides co vered with combustible matter in various forms which, if used in the moment of contact, as in the case of the Shannon, would render it imma terial whether the opposing vessel was a2O ora 74 gun ship. With a commander who had left a ship of larger size for the command of a ship with alj their Concealed advantages to challenge a commander of a 36 gun ship, un suspicious of any cowardly deception, is a more mortifying reflection on British naval skill and valor than the previous loss of all their ships of war captured by the Americans —and is faintly illustrated by a boxer challeng ing another to fight in the usual ways, and at the moment of striking, plunges a dagger (be fore concealed under his sleeve) into the body of his antagonist. But Englishmen will rue the day that this example of barbarity was set to Americans. LIVERPOOL^ If. S.J JUNE 9. On the 7th inst. the American pri vateer Wasg of Salem, drove five of our schrs. on shore in this vicinity—she at tacked and boarded two but after piudering them, was compelled to a bandon them by the militia.

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, JULY 8. Mr. Post, Mr. Howell, Mr. Davis of Mass. Mr. Dewey, obtained leave of absence for the remainder of the ses sion. Mr. IVood presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of the District of Maine, praying compensation for ser vices rendered as Militia under the au thority of the U. States. —Referred to the Secretary of War. Mr. Troufi, from the Military Com mittee, who were directed to enquire into the expediency of amending the laws for arming the whole body of the Militia, so far as respects th'e distribu tion of the arms, made a report of con siderable length, stating generally, as the opinion of the committee, that it will be inexpedient to make any amend ment to the said acts. This report, which we shall publish, was read and ordered to lie on the table. MASSACHUSETTS REMONSTRANCE. Mr. Risk of Vt. said, that he had hoped that some ether gentleman than himself would have moved to take up the Memorial now lying on the table from the Legislature of Massachusetts. That paper contained statements high ly important to the interests and cha racter of the nation. If they were true, the people ought to know it; if false, they ought to be refuted. Divisions, Mr. F. said, prevailed in Republics, that is, in all free governments, at all seasons, but particularly in limes of war. There existed now a considera ble degree of uneasiness in the East ern section of the union, which this remonstrance was not calculated to as suage. There was a great thirst for correct information, which this remon strance was not calculated to satisfy. Because he was willing that the people should be correctly informed, and that the misrepresentations in the memorial should be corrected, he moved that the House now proceed to a consideration of the remonstrance, with a view to re fer it to a select committee, to report thereon. The question on taking up the me morial was decided by Yeas and Nays as follow i For taking it up 97 Against it 58 Mr. Risk of Vt. then moved to refer it to a select committee. Mr. Robertson moved to amend the motion so as to except from the general reference so much as relates to the ad mission of Louisiana into the union. Mr. Risk agreed to modify his mo tion so as to incorporate that of the gen tleman from Louisiana. Mr. King of N. Q. moved to postpone the further cons’deration of this sub ject to the Ist Monday in December next. Mr. Murfree moved that it lie on the table. On these several motions a debate ofg bout two hours took place, asketch of which may be published hereafter. Those who advocated a reference of the me morial to a select committee, did it on the ground that its mistatements of fact and its false reasoning merited re futation, which would be an easy task, and was due to the official and formal nature of this production. It was op posed by gentlemen of both parties, on the ground that the discussion of such a report as might be expected to be made on this memorial, would occupy too much time, and protract a session which ought soon to draw to a close: and it was opposed also by some gen tlemen as being inconsistent with the dignity of this House to enter 'into a mere political disputation with the Le gislature of Massachusetts, or of any other strte. The question to lay this memorial on the table was in the end negatived, ayes 48 and jhe postponement to Decem ber next agreed to by a large majority. THE WAYS AND MEANS. The bill for laying and collecting a Direct Tax within the United States was read a third time. [This bill proposes to lay upon the United States a Direct Tax to the amount of Three Millions of dollars, apportioned to the states respectively, as follows: New-Hainpshire 96,793 37 Massachusetts 316,272 98 Rhode-Lland 34,702 18 Connecticut 118,167 71 Vermont 98 343 71 NewYoik 431,141 62 New-Jersey 108,871 83 Pennsylvania 365.479 16 D laware 32,046 25 Maryland 151,623 94 Virginia 369,018 44 Kentucky 169,928 76 Ohio 104,150 14 North Carolina 220,238 28 Tennessee 110,086 55 South Carolina 151,905 48 Georgia 94,936 49 Louisiana 28,295 11 The bill also apportions the quota of each state among the counties in said state. Each state may, prior to the Ist day of April, vary, by an act of its Legislature, the respective quotas imposed by this act on its several coun ties or districts so as more equally and equita bly to apportion the tax hereby imposed. Each state may pay its quota into the Treasury of the United States, and thereon shall be entitled to a deduction of 15 per centum, if paid before the first day of March, 1814, and of 10 per cent, if paid before the first day of May in the same year, &c.J 000328 Mr. Post moved to recommit the bill to the committee of Ways and Means. Ilis view was to obtain a different ap portionment of the Tax in the state of New York J The question on this motion was de cided in the negative by Yeas and Nays as follow For recommitment 54 Against it 100 Mr. Wheaton then moved to postpone the bill to the first Monday in Decem ber next, for reasons which he assign ed. The motion was decided in the ne gative by nearly the same majority as on the last vote. The question was then stated on the passage of the bill. Mr. Brigham and Mr. Culpeper as signed their reasons for voting against the bill. Mr Nd son moved to recommit the bill to the committee of the whole for the purpose of amendment in re spect to the Virginia apportionment.— Negatived.

I have apprized you of the fall of St. Antonio and the province of Texas, and of the occupation of that place by the troops of Bernardo. I was however incorrect in stating to you that Salcedo commanded and was killed in the ac tion. The Spanish troops were com manded by Col. Hcrrara, a soldier and a gentleman Gov. ^alcedo remained at the capital, and after the defeat at tempted to make terms. He was how ever summoned to surrender, and a written stipulation was made that he was to surrender at discretion, but was to be treated with the usual urbanity. Col. Montano displayed great bravery m the action, and was shot while in a single conmat with Major Ross, a fate much more enviable than that of the others who surrendered Salcedo, Herrara, and 13 others, who all relied upon the usages of war, the terms of the capitulatipn, and above all on the protection of the Americans, were se cretly and inhumanly put to, death. I'he Americans who were entirely igno rant of the circumstance, have express ed great disgust and horror. The de claration of independence, which you have, with some alterations, was read; a junta i stablished, and Bernardo made General and Commander in Chief Eve ry thing became tranquil—many young gentlemen, have returned here, and most of them wish to return to Sc. An tonio. The deceitful'and treacherous character of the Spaniards the doubt ful event of the revolution, and the un certainty with regard to he views and wishes of the government prevent some. We have just learned that a considerable force is assembled near the river Grande and about 41 leagues from St Antonio,determined to oppose, and that they are now on their way to meet the troops of J3ernardo, who are on their march There can be howe ver little doubt of the event, as the A mericans are alone sufficiently numer ous to drive and beat all tiie Spaniards in the Province. In about three months they propose marching to the adjoining province of Coquda, which is unable to resist them. PIANO FORTES RESPECTFULLY addressed to the ladies and gentlemen of the District of Columbia and its vicinity. Just Received from the Manufactory of Messrs.

July 6 The Enemy.—O:i Wednesday a part of the enemy’s force, as we stated in our paper of Tuesday last, moved up James River. We have-since ascertain ed that one of the frigates came to an chor off the mouth of Pagan Creek, the rest came too a little below Hog Island. The schooners proceeded up as high as Cabin-Point Creek, and sent ashore de tachments of men at several seats on both sides of the river to plunder. Some of them landed at Sandy Point (lower end of Charles City) and took off as many beeves as their barges would car ry othets were landed at different points in Surry county, where they suc ceeded in laying the inhabitants under contribution for supplies of fresh pro visions, and not content with that, they disfigured the houses, destroyed the furniture, and committed numberless excesses, unauthorised by the usages of civilized warfare. One of these free booters, told some of our people, that it was their intention to attack the Fort at Hood’s as soon as they could buoy off the channel so as to bring up their frigates. This fort is situate d about 25 miles below City Point, and has hither to been much neglected, though it is unquestionably of great importance to the safety of the upper towns. It is at present, however, we are happy to say, in a complete state of defence, and may defy the assault of the enemy. The approach of the enemy up the river, and their subsequent landing, was immediately communicated to the Go vernor, by express, on Wednesday morning. The alarm guns were fired, and in less than two hours, it appeared that every male inhabitant in the city who could shoulder a musket, was at the rendezvous and under arms. In the course of that day, and the succeed ing one, troops were continually pour ing in from the adjoining counties, and it is calculated that in less than twelve hours from the time of the alarm, ther were nearly ten thousand men under arms in Richmond, besides the pick’, t guards stationed along on the river, through Henrico, Charles City, Prince G orge, &c. See. That the enemy will ever land with a view of attacking Petersburg or Rich mond, there can be no apprehension; nor do we think it at all propable that they will make any attempt by water though it is highly essential that those places should always be in a state to re pel an attack. The object of the enemy we should rather believe, to be, to fire vent the strengthening this filace by re inforcements to create a diversion in favor ot Canada, and to weary and har rass the people in order to render the war unpopular In all these calcula tions he will be most aggcegiously de ceived Where every citizen is a sol diet, accustomed to the use of arms horn his childhood, every inch of terri tory will be defended, without retard ing for a moment the operations against Canada and where a people have vo luntarily taken up arms to secure their national rights, they will not lay them down again from personal considera tions. On Friday last 3 barges from the frigate then laying off Pagan Creek, full ol men, went up the creek as far as the rocks, (about three miles below Smith field) they were fired upon by a small detachment ot militia, (from 12 to 15) and after returning their fir? lor about ten minutes, decamped. None of our men were injured, though the bails flew around them like hail. An attack on Smithfield was hourly expected they have, however, a respectable force at that place. But even if they should succeed in getting possession of it, they will find nothing but hare walls, as every article of value is removed, and all the inhabitants, except those un der arms, have left the town.

Gales, INTITLED The Carolina Law Repository. To be edited by a Law Character. The primary design of this work, is to con vey to every part of the state early intelligence of the cases adjudged in the Supreme Court, and abstracts of the Public Laws passed at each session of the Legislature. One number will therefore be published on the first ol March, and another on the first of September in each year, just before the commencement of the circuits; so that the Profession, and the citizens in general, may be apprized of the progressive change and exposition of the law, soon after they respectively occur, and at a time when such information is most desi rable. But the plan will also comprehend a variety of subjects connected With Legal and general Political Science, which, it is hoped, will render the work instructive and entertain ung, not merely to the practising Lawyer and he Student, but also to the Legislator and in telligent Citizen, who desires to contemplate, in their origin, spirit and effect, those princi ples of Legal Polity and Civil Freedom which form the basis of our own admirable institu tions. 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. The price will be one dollar and fifty cents per number, four of which will form a volume. Each num her to be paid for on delivery.
