HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
v ” JANUARY 12, 1811.
The House sat with closed doors
this day, from 11 o’clock, the usual
hour of meeting, till near nine o’clock,
when the doors were opened and the
House adjourned.
During this day’s sitting, a mes
sage of a confidential nature was re
ceived from the Senate, by Messrs.
Clay and Pickering, two of the mem
bers of that body.
MONDAY, JANUARY 14.
The Speaker laid before the House
the following reports a»:U communi
cations ; viz.
A report from the Secretary of
Sme'Jft tbfc sl Meet of Patents ob
tained *nd mtft ?U lodged in his of
fice, with s apeflfficatron of the use of

meriy presented by him, favorable to

der consideration.
He also presented the petition of
Paul Bock and others,- of Philadel
phia, praying for the imposition of
duties on Shot imported into the
United -States.' KeiVr-d to the com
mittee ©i Commerce and Manufac
tures. ■
ORGANS ^FRBSEOfiy;
Tne House resumed the conswlc-
ration of the bit! for admitting Or
leans into the Union as a state, 8tc.
Mr. Pitkin spoke against the bill.
Mr. 'Johnson spoke half an hour
in favor of it.
Mr. §>nincu commenced a speech
against the bill, which he contends is
unconstitutional. He had not proceed
ed far, when f
Mr. PoindcxtePobjected to an ex
pression which he ffad used, and cal
led him to order.
Mr. Quincy repeated and justified
the remark he had made ; which, to
save all misapprehension, he commit
ted to writing in the following words :
“ If this till pmses, it is my dulibc-
rate opinion that it is virtually a dis
solution of this union; that it will free
the states from, their moral obligation,
and; as it will be t/u- right of all, so
haloid be theutuitfvfsn*A^^ definitely
to prepare for a separation, amicably
if they can, violently, if they must.”
Alter some little confusion—
M. Poindexter -equirecl the deci
sion of the Spcarker whether it was
consistent with the propriety of de
bate to use such an expression. He
said it was radically wrong for any
member to use arguments going to
dissolve the government and tumble
♦his body itself to dust and ashes.—
It would be found from the gentle
man’s statement ofhis language, that
he had declared "the right of any
liqrtion of the people to separate.—
Mr. Quincy wished the Speaker to
decide, for if the gentleman was per
mitted to debate the question, he
should lose one-half of speech.
Mr. Poindexter said'that by the in
terruption given him, lie perceived
the galled jade winekd. The ques
tion he wished to propound to the
chair was this—^Whether it be com
petent in any member of this House
to invite any portion of the people to
insurrection, and, of coufse, to a dis
solution of the Union ?
Mr. Quincy. And I, sir, will
make this question—it is not the dutv
of a member to state the consequences
of a measure which appears injurious
to him ? And the nviri; pregnant the
measure is with evil, is not the dutv
of sating it the more imperious ?—
Such I say will be the consequences,
and such I mean to prove—
Mr. Poindexter wished to know if
the gentlemen had any more right to
debate the question than he had.
Mr. Quincy resumed his seat; and
The Speaker (Mr. Varnuni) deci
ded that great latitude in debate was
generally allowod, and that by way
of argument against A bill the first
part of the gentleman’# Observations
was admissible ; but th* latter mem
ber of the sentence, viz. . *‘ That it
would be the duty of some states to
prepare fgr a separation, amicably ij
they cun, violently if they must,” was
contrary to the order of debate.
^ Mr. Lewis called for the decision
of another question of order, viz.—
Whether a delegate, holding a scat
in this House by courtesy alone, with
out a right to vote, has a right to call
any member of the HcOse to order ;
Mr. Newton aske'dTor what a dele
gate was sent here, but to take care
6f thepolh'kal rirht*W
he represented ? And where he con
ceived them to be affected, as in this
case, he had certainly the same rights
as any other member.
The Speaker decided against Mr.
Lewis's appeal to order.
Mr. Macon expressed bis wish
that the gentleman had not been In
terrupted in his speech, although tu>
thing said about the di&sqlMjtiqt). of
the union'than he was.
Mr. Wright wished that the gen-.
tleinan should now <b© permitced to
pursue his speech.
The Speaker however having deci
ded Mr. Quinn's observations to be
opt of order—
Mr. Quincy appealed from his de
cision, and required the Yeas and
Nays on the appeal.
Mr. P,unveil said that the member*
of the House were responsible, not
to the House, but to the jxfbple for
the arguments they used in debate ;
that the rules of the House only ap
plied to the order and facility of pub
lic business, and not to the Sentiments
expreseed in debate. Mr. B. said he
was lat from implying any- approba
tion of the gentleuxau’s sentiments ;
bathe thought they were a mutter al
together botween himseU\and his
'contiiuuMtta. * *' ' ^
Mr. Cold quoted Jefferson’s Ma
nual to shew that whatever was said
in debate of a disorderly nature
should not be noticed until the per
son using such words hud gone
through with his remarks.
Mr. Pitkin, Mr. ShdFey, Mr.
Ilhea, and several others rose to
: peak ; but the Speaker read the rule
which precludes deoate on an appeal
from the Speaker’s decision.
Tlic question tvas stated thus : “ Is
the decision of the Speaker correct i”
And decided as follows :
YEAS—Messrs. L. J. Alston, W.
Alston, Anderson, Bard, Barry,
Boyd, Brown, Calhoun, Ctay, Coc
hran, Crawlord, Cults, Dawson,
Desha, Findley Gannett, Gardner,
Holland, Hufty, Johnson, Jones, Ke

Srnilie, G. Smith, Southard, Thomp

NAYS—Messrs. Alien, Bacon,
Bassett, Bibb, Bigelow, Biuisdeil,
Burwell, Bptler, Campbell, J.. C.
Chamberlain, W. Chamuerlin, Cham

Swoope, Talinadge, Tracy* Troup,

ton—56.
So the decision of the Speaker was
reversed; Mr. Quincy's observations
were declared to oc m order ; and he
preieedtd.
Mr. Quincy spoke near an hour
and a halt longer.
When he concluded,
Mr. Garland said he had a report
to make, Irom the committee ol en
rolled bills, ot a confidential nature.
A motion was made to adjourn, &
los:.
The hill was ordered to lie on the
table, and strangers were excluded
for a Few minutes.

>IR. ri.VK.NTV TO MR. SMJTfl.
London November 5, 11?10.
SIR—l have presented a second
note, of which a copy is ,enclosed', tq
' L<*rd Wellesley, on the subjoin o*
the orders in council, .under an.im
pression that the state of the king’,
health (for which 1 beg to refer you
•! ^ ’.Trwuh trausmmH)
did not rt-uder it improper, mid that
if it w»| not improper on that account,
it was indispensable on every o;her.
Tho day had gone by when th*:
Berlin' and Milan decree* were to
cease to operate, according W dw»
communication made by the govern
ment of France to the American fnht-
»ter at Paris, and i/uMi*hed hr the
ifiid
taken,’or 'apparently tnougfit of^ to
wards the revocation of trie/British
orders. I hrd received no explana
tion of the reasons of this backward
ness, and no such assurance^ looking
to the future as could justify an opini
on, that it would not continue. Ford
Wellesley’s letter of the 3ls.t of Au
gust, which I had left unanswered
till after the l it of November, that I
miglit stand on the strongest-possible
grounds when I did answer it, made
no profession of being a present
measure, and (though l'rvm obvious
motives, l have not so represented
ic in my note to hhtt of thp 3d instant)
was vague and equivocal as ajpros-
jiectivc pledge. It defined nothing;,
and was so far from' warranting kny;
specific expectation, thatit s.eeihfd
rather to takeaway the' yerj\ iigtlv
of precision \vbich belonged t© Jbr-
ifi^VdeChiAtfbfis on rife same pmm.
It was highly important to the com
merce ol the United States, that
this ambiguity should be cleared a*
way, with all practicable expedition,
and if it could not be removed, tiiat:
no presumption- should be afforded
of a disposition on the part oi the
United States to acquiesce in it.—
My note to Lord Wellesley was writ
ten and delivered upon these induce
ments.
la the king’s actual fituation, the or
ders in council can -scarcely he formalJy
recalled, even if the cabinet are fo incli
ned ; but it does not follow that fnme«
thing mav not be done (though I have no
resl’on to think ttiat any thing' will be
done,) which may' He productive ot im
mediate st vantage and,at any rate pre
pare the way for the delired repeal.

that it had revoked the decrees of Berlin

any effect; and 1 -xpreffed my confidence,
that the revocation ot the Biuilh orders
