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.

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- ! f j.mined. Alexandria Gazette London, December 24. 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.” GhORGI V, Burke county.
