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 each. • - r ‘ .

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.

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. RELATIONS WITH Gnr.AT BRITAIN. When we, were again admitted, The following message, received in the course of the day was read : To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the l 'ailed Stales. I transmit to Congress copies of a letter from the minister plenipotenti ary of the United States, at London, to the Secretary oi State, and ot ano ther, from the same, to the Brush Secretary for Foreign Affairs, JAMES MADISON. January 12th 1811. >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. 1 have the honor to be with great con. litierauon, sir) your moll obedient humble lervant, (Signed) .
