Tenth Congress of the United States.
HOUSE, OF KEFRESF.NTATIVES.
Tuesday , October 25k
A message was received from the senate, with
u resolution proposing to ballot for chaplains, and
a petition from sundry American citizens, who
had been impressed into the Bitish set vice on
board the ship VValdon, and playing that mca
suies might be taken for their releasement.
Mr. Dawson suggested the propriety of pro
ceeding to the appointment of the stunning
committees, it hud been customary hereto
fore to make these, appointments at an ear ly
pti isd of the session. He therefore moved the
appointment of a committee of elections.
.Mr. Randolph enquired of the speaker if
tiiere was not a message received from the se
nate, which had not been read. [The speaker
answered that thcie was.] He understood that
it was accompanied by a petition from a num
ber of American seamen, addressed to the se
nate, which that body had thought of import
ance enough to be communicated to this house.
He presumed it was at least of consequence
sufficient to be read.
‘i he message alluded to was read ; and on
motion of Mr. Alston, the petition of the Ame
rican seamen were leferred to the secretary ol
slate.
1 h.-t part of the message which related to
the appointment of chaplains was ordered to
lie oti tlie tabic until the senate had made their
election.
Mr. Dawson renewed his motion for the ap-
P'.ini nieut ol a committee ol elections.
Mr. Alston thought i best t> move the ap
pointment of all the standing committees toge
ther. as had been heretofore the practice.
Mr. Dawson had no objection to this course.
He thci eforefore moved that i committee of
elections, a committee ol claims, a committee
ol commerce and manufactures a committee
ol ways und means, a oommiuec of public
lands, a committee of revisal and unfinished bu
siness, and a committee ol accounts, be appoint
ed.
A short debate ensued respecting the mode
ora] ipointing, whether by ballot, or, as hereto
fore, by the speaker ; when a motion was made
and carried for postponing the consideration o f
the question un.il to-morrow.
The usual resolution was next entered into
for supplying the members with news-papers
at heir lodgings.
A er which the house adjourned.
four additional members attended on this
day, were qualified and took their seals.
II ednesda .. October 28.
Four additional members attended, were

1 lie unfit,tsheu hu-Tness of yesterday respect
ing llie appointment of standing committees
was taken up;and the amendment of Mr.
llinunt, directing their election tube by ballot,
bung under com.iueration,
Mr. Blount said fie did not think it necessa
ry to ns? any arguments in support of his mo
tion, hut, as he considered it as embracing an
important piineipie, he would take the liberty
of Calling tor the yeas and nays upon it.
I'lie • eas and nays was agreed to be taken.
1 he question being tallied for, the Speaker
stated to the house, that the clerk had not yet
p epa red an alphabetical list of the members,
so that tie could not pioceed to call the.names
ot irn mhi is in the manner prescribed by the
i ides ot the house.
Mi. lliount declined wilhdfawing the mo
tion for taking the yeas and nays, and ail
alphabetical list was directed to be prepared.
On motion, the nouse took up for considera
tion ttie resolution yesterday received from the
senate, tor the appointment of two chaplains, to
interchange betwixt die two houses weekly,
wnich was concurred with, there being 85 votes
in favor of it.
The speaker laid before the house a com mu
municalion from Mr. Latrone. the architect of
the capitol, giving an account of the design of
lac building, and the use.for which the several
parts of it are intended ; which was ordered to
lie on the .able.
Mr. D. R. \\ tlliants offered the following
resolution :
“ Whei eas doubts have arisen as to the
construction of the order of yesterday, rcspect
ng the furnishing of newspapers to the nteitt
icrs of the hou ,e of lepresentativcs ; to re
move which,
llesulvcd, I hat the clerk be directed to ob
tain newspapers from any number of offices
which members may direct, provided the ex
cuse does not exceed the amount of the price
il three daily nowspapeis.”— lgreerl to.
The speaker iniortued toe house that the
lerk had prepared ati alphabetic..! list of he
members.
Mr. lliount hoped the question on his a
nieudmcni to the resolution for appointing
.-tanning committees would immediately be
taken.
The. question on the amendment was then
taken by yeas and nays—Yeas 24 ; Nays 87.
The question on the amendment being lost,
the original resolution, which vests the appoint
lient in the speaker, was agreed to without a
livision ; and tiie following standing commu
tes appointed :

After this subject was disposed of, a motion

Mr. Newton said, that last session a petition
from A. J. \ illurd was referred to a select

that committee was referred to a committee of
the whole house, who did not act upon it. He
moved that this petition and documents should
now be refened to a select commute.—
Agtc&d.
A communication was received from the
legislature of the state of Ncw-York, praying
for an appropriation for the fortification oi the
city of New-York, accompanied by several re
solutions expressive of their opinion, that the
commercial and agricultural interests oi that
state are equally affected by us unprotected si
tuation. Ordered to be printer!.
Mr. Rhea (Tenn.) offered the following re
solution, w hich was agreed to, and ordered to
he printed :
” Resolved, That the committee on public
lands do enquire into the expediency of Lying
off and describing by certain metes and bounds,
the tract of country to which the Indian title has
been extinguished within the limits ofLoust
ana, and to include ail the settlements within
the said territory, and of having the said tract
of country laid off into townships and t ortious,
half and quarter sections, agreeably to'the se
veral laws heretofore made for surveying the
public lands of the United States ; and also to
enquire into the expediency of grunting one
quarter ol a section to every fine male white
person who now resides thereon, or who will
within years actually improve and reside
thereon.”
Mr. Dawson moved that the house should go
into a committee of tlic whole on the state of
the union.
Mr. T homas wished this business might be
laid over tiil to-morrow. Gentlemen had not
yet had sufficient time to examine the presi
dent’s communication.
The house agreed to go into committee of
the whole, theie being 47 for it, and 42 a
guinst it.
T he speaker called Mr. Dawson to the
chair ; but be declined, stating that he had pre
pared some resolutions, which he was about to
oiler.
Mr. Basset was then requested to take the
chair ; and.
Mr. Dawson offered the following resolu
tions :
1. Resolved , That so much of the message
or the president of the United States as relates
to aggressions committed within our ports and
waters by foreign armed vet *els ;to the viola
tions of our jurisdiction ; aid the measures ne
cessary for the protection of our ports and
harbors, be referred to a select committee.
2. Resolved, That so much of said message
as relates to violations of our maritime rights,
to impositions on, or interdictions of our neu
tral rights, be referred to the committee of com
merce and manufatUircs.
3. Resolved , That so much of said message
as relates to our intercourse with the Indian
tribes be referred to a select committee.
4. Resolved, That so much of said message
as relates to our military and naval establish
ments, be referred to a select committee.
5. Resolved, That so much of said message
us relates to our finances, be referred to the
committee of ways and means.
6. Resolved, That so much of said message
as relates to enterprises against the public
peace, and the preventing the same, and of pu
nishing their authors, be referred to a select
committee.
Tne first resolution being under considera
tion,
Air. Quincy thought this resolution embrac
ed objects unconnected with each other, and
objects ot magnitude sufficient to warrant a se
paration of them. The first part of the resolu
tion rda’esto aggressions committed in our
norts and waters. The most material object
contained*!!! the president’s message.said Sir
Quincy has relation to an attack upon one of
our ve_- Ji by an armed .Up of a p: da dar na
tion, and all the other ciicuuisiano-s mention
ed at e stated merely as aggravations of this at
tack. lie thercfoie submitted wit 11 deieieixe
to the committee, the propriety of referring
whatever relates to the attack on the Chesa
peake to a select committee ; ana entering in
to a seperate resolution for the appointment of
a distinct committee to consider what maybe
necessary for the further dclence of our ports
and harbors. Upon this view of the subject,
he would offer an amendment to the resolution
in question, lie wished to add, alter the word
resolved,”
“ That so much of the message of the pre
sident olthe Limed Stales as relates to the at
tack made on the frigat* Chesapeake be refer
red to a select committee ; and that the com
mittee be instructed to enquire into the circum
stances of that attack, the causes assigned for
making it, and the manner in which it was re
pelled, and to report the result of such enqui
ries in deudl to this House.
Air Quincy stated Ids object for wishing to
give the enquiry this direction was, in the first
place, to submit the prominent subject in the
message to a distinct committee-—a subject
which stood HU.-2 prominent in the public mind
—a subject which had occasioned a great de
gree ol irritation, and concerning wnich it was
expected the public would no lunger remain ig
norant of all tire circumstances of the transac
tion. The message of the president, he said,
properly led to this enquiry, and this house
ought 10 pursue it. But lie was not for a mere
refeiencc ol the subject, leaving the committee
to act as tiicy might choose upon it ; he wished
specilic instructions to be given them. Indeed
lie consult icii the honor of the nation deeply
concerned in t[ie object of the last part of his
proposed amendment. He hoped, therefoie,
the matter would not be huddled up, but that
a proper enquiry would be entered into in the
manner proposed.
Mr. Elliot enquired of the ch firman, if an
amendment offered to a resolution which em
braces the same dbjects with the original mo
tion, ought not to be considered as a complete
substitute. It appeared to him that this was
the case at present, and that the motion of the
gentleman from Mussochusetts could not there-*
fore be in older.
The chairman did not consider the proposed
amendment as a substitute for the original mo
tion, and therefore in order.
Mr. Alston could not conceive the object of
the gentleman train Massachusetts, in making
this motion. He surely does not mean to jus
tify the conduct of the British. It will be lime
enough to enter into an enquiry on this subject
hereafter. The matter is proposed to ire com
mitted generally, and the committee will make
such a report as they think proper. If this ic
port should net be satisfactory to the gentle
man of Massachuaetts, he can propose any
modification of it which he may judge necessary.
Does the gentleman mean to cramp the ope
rations of the committee, by giving them the
special hisi.uciions? lie hoped no step would
be taken which should be calculated to narrow
the enquiries ol this important committee.
Mr. Dawson observed, that the gentleman
from .Massachusetts had mistaken his intention
in offering the resolution under consideration.
He did not mean the proposed committee to
enquire particularly into the attack on the Ches
apeake Such an enquiry would be at present
piearature. When Tic time arrived for taking
up this subject, he should be as ready as the
gentleman from Massaclmsetts, or any other
gentleman to enter upon it. Mr. Dawson read
that part of the President’s meassage, wnich
has reference to this affair, and asked the mem
bers of the committee if it would not be alto
gether premature to go into this subject before
the house received the information which the
President of the United States has said he ex
pects shortly lobe able to lay before them? His
object was to make the ground of reference as
general as possible.
Mr. Quincy said, that the gentleman fromX.
Carolina had asked what was his object in mak
ing this motion. He would answer, that it was
to have the whole detail of the affair respecting
the Chesapeake laid upon our tables. It was
asked if be meant to justify the British. He
knew not why this question should be put. His
motion was a plain one. He wished to have
the lacts which he called for before him, and
he should not then be afraid to meet the gen
tleman from. North Carolina, or any other. His
principles and feelings were as purely Ameri
can as those of any gentleman. He wished to
gain tacts, and to obtain these he thought it
best to fix on single objects, and not to extend
our views over the whole horizon. In refer
ence to w hat had fallen from the gentleman
from V irginia, what he had proposed would
have nothing to do with our negociations abroad.
No expression ol the opinion of this house is
required. All that is asked is, that the com
mittee shall collect a detail of facts. The com
mittee wi 1 not make their report until they
think proper; but the enquiry ought to be in
stituted. Suppose our dispute with Great-
Britain should be amicably settled, would not
this enquiry be necessary ? WtAild you not
enquire into the causes which led t p the attack ?
lie considered the dispute as being not only’
between us and Britain, but between us and
France. At any rate, he wanted the facts, anil
when they were before the house, ’a correct
judgment mightbe so rmedof the affair. The
honor of the nation was concerned to know
whether a proper degree of resistance had been
made to repel the attack of the British, by our
officers; if not, the opinion of this house ought
to he expressed on the occasion.
Air. Elliot felt equally anxious with the gen
tleman from Massachusetts to receive the in
formation lequired by his proposed anic'’-’
