The motion to strike out 150,000 dol lvd was loft. Air. Macon then spoke against the ref lotion. He believed that it went to introduce a system of defence whtch the j ration could not bear. He said the re_ j p irt embraced three modes of defence ; j by ships of the line, by gun boats, and) by land batteriis. To the seventy fours he was decidedly opposed ; with regard to gun boats he cared very little about them ; and lie was opposed to the propoleii appropriation for lortificatiyns on land. Air. Dawfott advocated the refolu tioti. Mr. Cool spoke in fsvor of the reso lution ; and made a speech of confidera b.e length, in favor of appropuatnig a larger lum than that contained in the re iolation and in favor of energetic measures and a naval eftablilhment.
