The Speaker informed the HouH
that the bill to compensate the witnell

Chafe was for a third reading, on
j which
! Af’ ■ I.til i rose, and said that he had
a motion to make on the ft-bjidl It

the pn fecution, Rod to tnie he never
could or v’ou and corift-t. It wrs the e
fl ibii hment of a principle, which did not
obtain in the (cu ts of the U. S. nor he
believed in the courts cf the rriptdlive

j hie had been prt louaccd guilty by a

ment t f ins v. itndis, indicated a conlei-
11-ahiefi that the decili n had been unjull.
j i’o this he was not willing to lublctibf,

cuf-ii, to manif.ll hcir confcioui efs ol
having ailed unjuflly by a yiovdioii to

his v.iti.eff.3. If it isj.iA thus to pro

Seiiiibie that foreign relations muff

The pielcnt ftagnauon of bull efs, if

prosperity will vaniih.
Under the pr. ffurc of such great cir.

There was reason to believe, that peace
had been made with Tripoli, but as no

publithed, the merchants ivifh to know

Hon. James Maddison,

Department of Stair, Marti Jj,
Sir, *
I hare Thrived the letter which yo*
! rt rote ire on the nth in ft. by dire&ion
| of the committe appointed by a General
i Meeting of the merchants of New-Yoik.
I The foliettude of tbofe engaged in for.
. eign commerce at the prelent crisis which
led to the application, could not fail to
j av/ak-n the regret that the court* of
; mercantile operations could not, in all
j cases, be regulated by a more precise
i knowledge cf the profpedt of foreigtt
I occurrences j but you are, douhtlefs,
j lenlible that a communication of the tea.
! lures of that profped, which if not mul
i tipbed and varied, with the roultipS.ed
! variations incident to it, mult itfeif be
come a source of miscalculation, would
ex need the duty and responsibility off any
government, as it would frequently do
the rules ol prudence if the talk were’
Ids impracticable. It is only, therefore,
in peculiar cases, where the exillcnce, or
the decided approach of events deeply
affecting the interests of the whole or
particular clafics of citizenß may be
known to the government, and not fuf*
ticicntly within the general means of
coi j-ft lire and anticipation, that fpccial
notifications can be required cither accor.
uiwg to expediency or usage ; and it is
a juflobjct of congratulation in this
country, that luch is the degree of publi
city given by the ordinary vehicles of
circulation, to foreign occurrences and
appearances, and fnch the capacity of
1 cui mercantile fellow citizen-, for ap.
! predating them, that that intelligent
portion of the community is a little ce
pe .dent in the United States on the
notifications of the government as in any
country whatever.
Penuaded, fir, that the juftaefs of
theft- remarks will at once be received,
I make no other apology for limiting the
answer to your enquiries), to a general
.fin, ai.ee of the disposition of tne prefi
deut, to give to every class of citizen#

“ I will inform you what 1 k. ow re
flecting gen. Miranda. I iirlt became
acquainted with him at New Yoik, a.
bout the year 1753. He is a man of
talent and enterpniteja Mexican by birth,
and the whole ot hie life ha* been a life
of adventures.
“ 1 Went to Europe from New-York
in April 1787. Mr. Jrfierfon was then
minuter from America to France, and
Mr. L.ttl.page, a Virginian, (whom
John jiy know A was agent for the king
0! Poland at Pad*. He was a young
: man of extraordinary talents, and I firft.
I “ut with him at Mr. J ff.rfon’s house at.
I dinner. By his intimacy with the king
J ot Poland, to whom aifj he was chamber
i iain, he became well a’ quainted with the
plans anti pn j els ot the uorthern powers
of Europe. He told me of Miranda
getting biiTtfeif introduced to the tn
pief* Catharine of Ruilia and obtaining
a ium of money Irnm her, of four thou
sands pounds tb.rhng ; but it did rot ap
pear to me what the ohjr£t was tor
which the money was given. It appeared
as a kind of retaining fee.
“ After I had pub!idled the firft part
of Rights of Man iu England in the
year 1791, 1 met with Miranda at the
house ot Turnbull and Forbes, merchants,
Devonshire Oq.i.re, London, fie bad
