CONGKSSIONAL.
From our Correspondent at Washington.
Wednesday, Feb. 18, 1813.
The house es representatives, in a com
mittee of the whole, yesterday resumed the
consideration of the bill for establishing an
uniform system of bankruptcy in the United
States.
Mr. Tyler moved to strike out the first
section—and after apologizing fur his te
merity in attempting to step forward in the
field of argument in answer to Mr. Hnp
kinson, proceeded to give his reasons for
opposing the bill, and to encounter some of
the positions which had the day before been
laid down by that gentleman. One princi
pal objection, in his mind, to the bill was,
that it conferred on a particular class (the
merchants) privileges distinct from those
enjoyed "by the other classes of which the
union was composed—and he asked who
fought the battles of the union ?—who
gaiued its victories ?—who defended New-
Orleans ?—The answer, he said, was,
“ Every class in the community.” If the
farmer and mechanic should by unforseen
casualties be reduced to insolvency, why
(he demanded) should they not be relieved
from their embarrassments —and w hy should '
they be less favored by the country and its '
legislature r He then endeavored to show i
tint the farmer was as subject to losses and
bankruptcy by the failure of the merchant, i
as was the merchant himself—and he as- j
sumed it as a position that the merchant
had it in his power to exercise prudenee i
sntficieut to guard him against insolvency— 1
for he might lay by, at home, half his capi
tal, and send no more than the other half
abroad iu the way of adventure. His great
est dislike (o the bill was that it would ope
rate most frequently in favor of the bold
high-handed dasher, and seldom in favor
of the prudent honorable merchant.
Mr. Tyler was followed by Mr. Holmes,
who spoke for some time against the bill,
and was succeeded by Mr. Pindail, on the j
same side, who endeavored to encounter 1
Mr. Hopkinson on every gronnd of his ar- '
gumeaf. The chief recommendation pos- |
sessed by these three speeches, (as they
struck me) was the modesty of Mr. Tyler’s,
though it was not deficieut in ingenuity and
neatness. Transparent sophistry carries no
recommendation with it to my mind. The
committee rose and reported progress and
obtained leave to sit again.
Respecting the resnlt, there is now little
donbt entertained. The bill will assuredly i
be rejected. The growth of sectional in- ;
fluenee eve;y day becomes mere visible—
it is scarcely even pretended to be disguised, t
Os the ultimate consequences, who is so j
dull iu brain as to be doubtful ? When j
the termination compressed within these
eighteen or twenty states shall have reach
ed its height, the constitutional hoops, una
ble to resist the pressure, will give way— |
the vessel will burst, and staves and head- !
ing will be disunited for ever. The charn- j
pions of the revolution, who were also the j
framers of the constitution, looking for- ■
ward to the states having a long journey
together, arranged matters, as they thought, j
in the be»t manner to render them good !
company to each other. If, before they !
have reached the first stage, they disa- j
gree, lake antipathies to each other, and en- j
deavor to eross each other's interest, what 1
ean be hoped ? Why, only to stop as the J
next inn, and sit down in seperate rooms,
tiil, urged by necessity’, they cun group
themselv es in parties of more congenial dis
positions to each other, and of less opposite
interests.
P. S. The information I received that
general St. Clair’s pension bill had passed
the Senate was & mistake. 1 hope it will
however.
Two messages from the president were
laid before the house—one respecting the
equalization of duties with the British,
which contained the British minister’s let
ter on the subject; the other respecting our
relations with Spain. [J/exandria Gax.
Thursday, February 19, 1818.
A bill was yesterday read twice and com
mitted, which (for the more convenient or- j
gauization of the courts of the Ignited •
States) provide* that eight additional jud- J
ges to go the eircuits of the United States I
shall be appointed; that from the first day ;
of April next the jndges of the supreme
court shall cease to perform that duty; shall
consist permanently of one chief justiee and
four associate justices, and hold courts in
May &ud December every year; and that
the eight circuit judges shail hold circuit |
j courts twice a year in the several districts,
j iu conjunction with the district judges.
By a resolution passed yesterday the se
cretary of war is called upon to inform the ,
j house whether aßy of the army paymasters j
i have failed to settle and make returns to !
I that office—to speeify the names of the de- 1
I linquents, and to state why they have not j
i been eocreed.
The uniform bankrupt law was again ar
gued for the greater part of the day.—Mr.
sergeant made one of the most powerful ar
■wimentative speeches I ever heard in favor
jof the bill. General Smith spoke w ell on
i the same side, and displayed much prae-
I tical knowledge. The committee then rose.
I reported progress, and obtained leave to sit
again ; and the house adjourned.
Mr. Sergeant's speech was such a elose
wrought tissue of deductive reasoD, that
nothing but a complete transcript of the
! whole could convey an adequate idea of its
excellence. [lbid.

WEW-youK, February 23.
The packet-line ship Courier, captain
Bowen, arrive*! at this port on Saturday,
sailed from Liverpool on the 4th f Jau. and
the editors of the Gazette are enabled to lay
before their readers the contents of papers,
etc. to the time of her departure.
The Franklin, 74, ha* excited much inte
rest, and the admiration of every class. She
was on the eve of sailing for the Mediter
ranean, to relieve the Washington, commo
dore Chauneey.
The editor of the Liverpopl Mercury, of
the 2d ultimo, observes, “ Dr. Franklin him
self, with all his sanguine predictions of
America becoming a great and independent
power, could scarcely have anticipated, that
an American ship of the line, bearing his
own name, would convey the American min
i ister to England in the year 1817.
The liussiau squadron still remained at
Spithead, consisting of five 74’s and three
44’s some of them wanting repairs. They
were to sail for Cadiz about the middle of
January, to be there delivered over to the
Spanish government, and their crews to re
turn in Russian transports.
Lord Courtenay, since he left England,
has received, by the sale of bis property in
Ireland alone, no less a sum than /fi 50,000
' sterling.
i Lord Wellington arrived at Paris Dec.
28. As few persons accompanied him, his
stay was expected to he short.
! A levy of 70,000 men was to take place in
Spain, to be completed in four years,
i The Chaunel of Dieppe, which had been
obstructed by sand banks, has been cleared
by recent storms.
Lascassas has obtained permission ta es
tablish himself in Prussia, and has left
Frauce for Berlin. There is no dangerourc
sympathy in Prussia for the condition of
. Napoleon.
j The London Courier of the 2Gth of De
! cember says, “ Government will no longer
give encouragement to persons who wish
j to proceed a* settlers to his majesty’s do
-1 minions in North America, except to half
' pay officers ; as many who went there tha
, last two years were unable to cultivate tha
land allotted to them, and who are now in
i very great distress.
The States General of the Netherlands
has decreed that the import duty on teas
into Holland will not exceed ouo half per
centum: and the export duty only to one
fifth. Adequate compensation to the par
ties interested by the change had been made,
i and the company was satified, as chaugs
was agreeable to their wish,
j The meeting of the gentlemen interested
1 in the Newfoundland trade had been held
| in London, to concert means of relieving
j the distressed, who sutfered by the late fire
at St. Johns.
The American ship Two Brothers had
arrived at Portsmouth from Batavia, with
! u cargo of coffee in bulk, bound to Amsier
! dam.
! The London Courier says, the new dey
| of Algiers has had a narrow escape from
' the fate of his predecessors. Being in
formed of the projects of the soldiery, he
! prudently withdrew to a fortress the guns of
j which commanded the town. The rebels
| attempted to dislodge him, but they failed,
and ten of the ringleaders were seized and
j strangled. Whether this summary punish
ment will avert, or only the dey himself, it
j would bo hazardous to conjecture.
A detachment of the 66th regiment had
embarked for St. Helena.
Prince Leopold continued bnt in indiOer- "
ent health, having had a relapse nf a rheu
matic affection in his head. The prince
was about to start for Came in a few days,
to spend six weeks at the mansion house
of Mr. Lionel Darner.
It is stated at the Lower Elbe, that the
marriage of the duke nf Cambridge with a
princess of the house of Hesse Cassel was
entirely arranged.
The report of the duke of Rent’s matri
monial inteution is contradicted.
The marriage of the prince royal of Por
tugal w ith the princess Leopardiue at Aus
tria, has been officially announced to the
king of France.
The duke of Wellington has appealed to
' the court of cassation against the decision
; of the high court, which declared the ap
peal made by his grace against Debusseher,
| not receivable.
The opposition prints in London state
: that Spain and Portugal have not yet come
| to aHy accord on the subject of the restitu-
J tiou of Monte Viedo, and that Portugal re
fuses to cede that fortress, until Spain has
| terminated the qaestion with her eolonies,
cither by conquest or negotiation. The
| Courier contradicts this assertion, on the
ground that the parties, having agreed to
submit their differences to the allied powers,
this decision could not have takeu place.
The London Courier contains judgo
. ashington's charge relative to the deten
tion ot eleven British officers at Philadel
phia, on the assumption that they were about
to embark and enlist iu the service of the
SoHth-Amerieaa iusurgents. The Conrier
obse r ves “ from the toje of judge Washing
ton's charge, it would appear that thp Uni
tied States are determined to remain iuflexi
blv neutral.”
A public meeting has been held in Lon
don to raise a subscription for the relief of
Hone, who had been prosecuted for publish
ing parodies on the scriptures and ehurch
liturgy.
