AMERICAN NAVIGATION BILL.
The House resumed the conside
ration of the bill “ concerning com
mercial intercourse with G. Britain
and France and their dependencies,
and for other purposes.
Messrs. Anderson and Van Dyke
spoke against the bill
. Mr. Troup proposed an amend-
'ment going to authorise the Presi
dent of the U. S. on certain infor
mation of the capture of a vessel en
gaged in lawful trade, to issue letters
of marque and reprisal to persons ap
plying for them.
This amendment was opposed by
Messrs. Tallmadge, Fisk, Bibb, Da
na, and Sinilic, and supported by
Mr. Troup, who, however, withdrew
the motion subsequently
Mr. Montgomery moved the fol
lowing as a new section to the bill:
And be it further enactcJi, that the
President be, and he is hereby au
thorised to give instructions to the
commanders of the armed vessels in
the service of the United States to
seiie within the United States or
within four leagues of the coats there
of,-any vessel for evasions or viola-
ons of this law, and to bring the
same into any port of the United
States or territories thereof, for adju
dication.
•After debate, in which Messrs.
JOHN RANDOLPH.
Iiis appearance is by no means
prepossessing—His manners haugh
ty and supercilious excite a personal
prejudice against him, which nothing
but a long and intimate acquaintance
can remove. Mr. Randolph is not
calculated lor popular association—
The commanding superiority of his
colloquial talents, may force from his
audience, the convictions oi their
judgment, but he leaves their cir
cle, without having awakened one
sentiment of affection in their breasts.
He is not content to use the victory,
which superior talents ancl extensive
information insures, over those who
encounter him in debate ; with seem
ing moderation, his adversary is made
to feel the mortification of defeat.
In the eloquence of Mr. Randolph,
there is nothing persuasive—It would
seem, as if the energy of his mind,
could never stoop to the arts ol ora
tory—The animation of his manner,
the dignified chastEy of his style, the
strong and perspicuous view which
be always takes of his subject, com
mand from his audience, the most
profound attention to him in debate.
Mr. Randolph is not indebted to
fancy—iiis style of oratory is supe
rior to the decorations of a brilliant
imagination—He exhibits his sub
ject naked—It has the nerve of Her-
■//les, and is not relaxed by a single
feature of Adonis.
With the most powerful talents,
with superior cultivation of mind, and
with the most unsuspected sincerity
in the expression of all his opinions,
Mr. Randolph is not calculated for a
popular leader. The arts of concili
ation are unknown to him—Govern
ed by the dictates of his own manly
judgment, lie cannot conceive that
dependanee which the minds oi o-
tliers feel upon it. It is thus that he
never has heen known to consult, to
advise or compromise. Iiis propo
sitions are original; they are brought
forward without one enquiry of wno
s to support, or who is to oppose
first order : but they acquired tin
early cast, which age and evperienoc
have not entirely worn off. A ;ovo
ol pleasure rendered him ir.attenuve
to the cultivation of his nrnd ; per
haps there is no man, now living,
who obtained th same reputation
on so small a stick ot information
