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 qualified and took their seats. 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 : Of’ F.lccd no.—Messrs.

The House then adjourned. Thursday , Octo her 29. An additional member appeared and was qualified. The credentials of the members were refer red to the committee ofelections. A communication was received from N. B. Vanzandt, whoofficiated as clerk dating the re cess, informing the house that he hud made the usual contract with Messrs. Way for the printing, Mr. Patterson for the stationary, t<c. —Referred to the committee of accounts. A communication was received from the Se cretary of the Treasury, enclosing an account of the extra expenses incurred in the navy de partment, nnce the 22d day of June last, for the year 1807, which was ordeted to be print ed. The Secretary adds, that the general es;i mates will be ready in the course of the next week. The general heads of this report of ex penditure are as follow : For ordnance and military fortification-, 310,554 CO For repairs ol vefieis, ------ 151.8DG 73 Provifions, - -- -- -- - 31, 15 Marine corps, ------- 29,'02 82 Pay of 1,100 extra feanien, boys, petty. officers, &e. ...... 74,751 29 Timber for 73 gun-boats, - - - - 37,500 (X) Dollars, 630,076 59 After this subject was disposed of, a motion was made to adjourn, which was negatived, 94 only rising in favor of it. Mr. Newton said, that last session a petition from A. J. \ illurd was referred to a select committee ; ami a report made on it by 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'’-’
