CONGRESSIONAL.
From our Correspondent at Washington,
Thursday, March 12, »BiB.
j The first half of yesterday's sitting in the
1 house of representatives was wasted (was
! ted 1 may truly call it) in discussing the
admissibility of the petition of our Vincente
Puzos, who represented himself iu it as an
agent of Venezuela and Buenos A> res. Ihe
Speaker, to whom it had been directed, laid
it before the house and Mr. Colston moved
that it should be read in order to ascertain
the nature of its contents. It was accord
ingly read, and Mr. Forsyth moved the
house that it should not be received—NY hich
motion was supported by Mr. LowndeaJu a
very able speech. A pretty animated de
bate ensued, in which Mr. Robertson, Mr. |
luckerof Va. Mr. Bassett, Mr. Trimble,
and Mr. Johnson of K. opposed the motion
—and Mr. Forsyth and Air Lowndes were
joined by Mr. Pitkin, Mr. Poindexter, Mr.
Pindall, Mr. Mills, Mr. Ball, Mr. Sergeant,
and Mr. Cobb, iu supporting it.
Ihe ground taken by the latter was the
impudent and presumptuous character of
the petition, which contained the most dar
| ing expressions of censure on the president
for his wise and meritorious conduct in sup
pressing the establishments at Amelia-is
land and Ualveztuwu, which iu truth destr
j ved high praise.
( Had the president acted otherwise, Mr.
| Poindexter said he would have beeu extre
i niely culpable—for those men whom he dis
lodged, were not only mischievous und dan
gerous to others, but were doing great injury
to the Patriot cause. If any individual had
any wrong to complain of, let him come for
ward as »ucli ( ; *l was said) —but nothing of
this kind could be received from the agent
of a foreign people, parlielariy in the shape
of an aspersion on the chief magistrate, and
grounded mi that an appeal agaiast him tu
the Irg slature :—between such a character
and tlie United (states, the house could not
adjudicate. Could that house say that the
president of the United States had done
wrong and that a foreign agent hod done
j right iu accusing hint ?—lt was altogether
' the most impudent application that had
ever been made, and was indeed an appeal
; fiom the chief magistrate to the people, had
the accredited minister of a foreign govern
ment been guilty of it. A motion should be
made to » ,id him out of the country.
M i. n Mr. Jackson was scut away, what
"it the cause of it t Mhy his appealing ;
® ihe president to the people. The i
mcairfM fi osr citizens were entitled to pe- j
u mb : bi.t -t was ust the business of con- \
** w its, » ale far the whole human fam- j
■—f it.tt goers they had no jurisdic- j
nun. tor i i they them any protection. '
i»en on ike siijpasit.on that the president
hud li t-d wrong, was net true) was ■
t.e lii um t.o nctivt e).L T ge» a<atn»t him
' inu foreign oeer si lbs peliuooer appli-
Mi i ht presickat f~r redie«s, and was, as 1
1 ‘ . i • M) pointed—he then
M pitted to i t !< g,s)xiuje, and hit next
l < proiiauiy be i« the people.
A wv.nsi stade to lay the petition j
ii it uiiie. cut this was oppo*ed by se- j
tt. wj piot',ted against its being enter* i
t u<rw c : ail; and particularly by Mr. For
ty n. who put the question to the house,
»oaid tL-y permit auy foreigner to suppose
, shat til' t xecuine of the Uinied .States was
i acting in c iiir&dtction to the wishes of the i
p .p.e r In the Case of the French minister
Ol.se r, who had appealed to the peuple
from the chief magistrate, what was the
consequence r Genet was very popular, yet,
on his offering that insult to the president
he v as not able to stand the shock,and was |
put down, ilis offence, however, was only
a barren threat—tin* was a threat carried
into execution, and the offender endeavored
to moke the house of representatives in* in
strument.
Extraordinary as it may appear, this pe
titioner was not w it haul hi* adv oentes ill the
house. What a p clure this olfers to the
• world—what an example is this to set to fu
i lure foreign agents Hnil ministers, to appeal
j w henever they think proper from une brunch
.of our government to another. I hat there
| was one iu the house who would listen to
i such an insult is a most lamentable etreum
| stance ; I am sorry, however, to say that
? 1 there were 28. The question for laying on
1 ! the table was negatived. And the question
s on Mr. F orsylh's motion, that ll.e petitinu
should not be received, being taken by yeas
and nays, was carried by 1 27 to 2S.
ISTKRNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The house then in committee resumed the
consideration of this measure, when Mr.
(sawyer moved to rise and report progress,
and matin a speech on the occasion. Mr.
Junes of Tennessee and Mr. Colston both
spoke—the tendency of their observations
being to show that the house had constitu
tional power to make rovds. canals, &c.
And Mr. Hugh Nelson spoke long and earn
estly to dissuade the house from immolating
the liberties of the country and the rights of
the states, w hick they should do bv adopting
this measure. It was past live o’clock when
i Mr. Nelson stopped, and the house ad- !

Discovery of an extensive Forgery of Dank
’ > >f England ,YVi es . — It had long been sus
| peeled that a gang .1' forgers had an es
tablishment at M. Clears, in Carmarthen*
- shire, and a strong impression has prevailed
that the imitative notes of Messrs. Morris's
■- bank, of Carmarthen, issued from the same
e smiree. The matter, however, slept until
Wednesday last, when two women, passim?
as mother and daughter by the name «f
Bynes, arrived in Carmnrlhen from St.
Clarc'g, and after various small purchases
at f>nr different shops, at e«ch *>f which a
£2 Bank of England note was tendered in
payment, they finally adjourned to the Ivy
Bush, and took two inside places in the
mail to Brec«n, paying the fare in simula
ted bank paper ; but the book-keeper, rather
doubting, took the bill to Messrs. Morn's
bank, where they were instantly pronounced
to be forgeries. The ladies were taken into
eustody anti thoroughly searched, when a
quantity of ink, bank-note paper, and other
materials for their purposes, were found in
their trunks, and about £OO in forged notes,
with slips of paper on which were fac simi
les of the writing of almost every clerk in
the Bank of England.—lt having been as
certained that two young men, who passed
as brothers by the name of Johnson, had
gone through Carmarthen on horseback
about 12 o’clock, two persons were sent off
by the Gloucester mail in pursuit of them.
On the arrival of the Coach at Handover,
one of the men who was standing at ihe
door of the inn enquired if two Ladies had
arrived ? He was immediately seized, and
the other was apprehended shortly after
wards in another house Their pet son* and
luggage were then searched, and about £l4O
in forged notes were found upon them.
They were ronveyed back to Carmarthen
at four o'clock on Thursday morning. One
of the gang passed through Swansea last
Tuesday, on his road to Bristol, and a trusty
messenger was then despatched after him.
One of them stated that he had a considera
ble property in the county of Cork, in Ire
land, nnd from his keeping hunters, and liv
ing as he has done, his means, from what
ever source derived, must have been in pro
portion. Friday ihe man above alluded to
was apprehended in Bristol, and, it is said,
a small rolling press, coining dies, &c. com
plete, were found in his pussesion.
The Folly of Going to Law.
[Lord Erskine, in hts armata, ufter cen
suiingtlie immense expense of law proceed
ings, especially of stamps, which be ealls
pictures or portraits of the king, relates the
following anecdote.]
In passing through (lie rooms of the prison
ers, we observed fotlr persons who were
playing cards together; when my conduc
tor, who was still the same eminent advo
cate, desired me to stop and observe them.
“ I hat first,” said he, pointing to the matt
nearest us, “ is an honest baker, with a
large family, who brought a suit against his
partner at the table, to recover about 20
pounds for bread that he sold him ; but for
which the other, who is a carpenter, could
not pay. having a large family also, and his
I taxes to government in arreur, for which his
i little effects had been sold. 'The baker pre
vailed in his suit, put the pictures of the sov
; er eign (the stamps) and the expenses of the
proceeding, beyond what he could charge to his
■; opponent, would have left him but litiieto re
ceive, even if the carpenter could have paid ;
but receiving nothing at all, he toe k him t®
prison fur the debt, which was swelled by
j lfie expenses to more than double the sum.
But the poor baker thus receiving nothing
front his prisoner, and not being able to pay
his attorney for the proceedings and the
portraits he was sued himself, and was ta
k-Mi to prison also ; and the plaintiff and de
fendant now sit opposite. But the attorney
w«s just in the same condition as his client
whom he had subdued; as, by getting no
thing from the baker, he was unable to pay for
the portraits, which the paper-merchant had
sold Him; and he was sued and hurried to
| ptison himself, where lie met with She gen
tleman who is now his partner, viz. the at
torney for Ihe carpenter, he having been sued
for the portraits also, which he hod bought
for the carpenter's defence—and being cast
into the same prison, the gaoler has got the
whole covey. They have not, among them
all, the smallest coin in circulation; yet
they areas eager at their game, as if the
Lite cf the universe was- at stake on eve
ry card; and they pay one another with
slips of paper, which they pleasantly e- *
nough call exchequer bills, as they are to
he prid only by similar, slips of pap er
when they become due. I never witnessed
such a scene. It was inhuman to laugh as I
did. hut it would have been more than hu
man to resist.”
