“ Much difeuffion took place on the

a minute detail of the circutnftances al
leged to have attended the expedition of
Miranda ; acknowledge the participa
tion of the memoriaiit!9 in the cuter
prize ; and declare it to have been tticir
impression that the expedition \va3 coun
tenanced by the implied fanilion of the
president and lecretary of state. The
memorialills further complain of the un
just and illegal proceedings of the circuit
court ot Ntw-Yoik. The memorials
are couched in language uncon monly a
crimonious, and alcribe to the public a
gentn unworthy end impure motives.
After the reading of these memorials
an intert fling debate ensued, whose
length forbids its insertion iu this day’s
paper. We ffinll only, at present, at
tempt a brief (ketch, referring its full
detail for a future paper.
Mr. Lyon repiobatcd the style and
| contents of the petition, and moved that
the petitionees iliould have leave to with
draw their petition.
Mr. lliltiiimt, of New-York, in-
veightd in terms of tlrong indignation,
ngainft the nature and teudancy of the
attempt. He pronounced it unprece
dented, while a prosecution was car am ju
due, tor the accused to come forward,
and attempt to wrcll their case from a
legal irih unal ; declared his total dilbclicf
of the charges criminating the executive,
and spoke with the greaidl emphatis of
the enormiiy of the effort ol men thus

Nr. Quincy rose to explain. He said
j he deemed it his duty to prelent the me*
; mortals, dilclaimed all intention to call a
’ cenfurr on the adminillration ; but he
j thought, coniidering the fails alledged

make an enquiry ; and added that from

ced the memorial! a liffue of fcluhooda
snd calumnies bofely intended to defame
the government, and denied that the ex
ecutive had pofteffed the iuformatiou da
ted by Mr. Quincy.
After a tew remarks from Meflrs.
Mumfoid, Mailers, and Bidweil, Mr.
Early offered the following refolutton.
Refulvea, T’hat the charges contained
in the memorials of S. G. Ogden and
William Smith are, in the opinion of ‘
this house, unfupnorted by any evider.ee !
which in the lead degree criminates the I
executive government of tins country— !
that the said memorials appear to have j
been preiented at a time and under cir- j
cumftances insidiously calculated to excite 1
unjust suspicions in the minds of the good j
people of this nation again!! the existing
administration of the general government
—and that it would be highly improper
hi this house to take any Hep which
might influence or prejudice a cause now
depending in a legal tribunal of the U.
S.—therefore, Resolved, that said memo
rials be by the desk of this house retur-
ned to those from whom they came.
Mr. Clark required the previous
question, which was taken by Y r eas and
Nays, as follows : “ fhatl the main ques
tion be now pu.”—Yeas 74— Nays 13.
The question was then taken by yeas
and nays on the fcvrral members of the
resolution as divided by dailies—
On agreeing to the
Ift member, tlie Yeas were 75 —Nays 8.
2d Yeas 70 —Nays 13*
3d— Yeas 84 —No Nays.
iall—— Yeat 71 —Nays 14.
We ffiall not retrain from exprefling
our fatisfaftion at the completely abor
tive iflue of this miserable attempt, view
ed either relatively to time or substance,
to impair the confidence of the peop'e
in the purity of the motives and the fair
nefß et the conduit of the executive, and
particularly of the president and secretary
of llate. Tlie objedt was undoubtedly
to sow suspicion, to fcattcr misrepresen
tation, to call a cloud over the fair fame
of men whose names and fcrvlees have be
come identified with republican princi
ples. But the poison has been met by
its antidote, and the blow menaced at
them has recoiled with double, with o
veiwhclming force 01 the heads ol its
authors. The attempt has extorted
from the Reprefentativts of the people
a vote of confidence, alrnoft unparraiied
in the annals of legifiativc bodies—a vote
of fcvaMy to thirteen.

the SPEECH of the hnn. G. G. Mum
xorp, in the house of repreferiativts ot
the United States, on the 14th March,
on the lubjeCt of Brititli fpoliatior.a.
“ Mr. C'rtirmin —lt is with great
■ t'.iiiiJence 1 rife to fptak on th ; * qncs-
I lot. Itn : merchant, u.iscv .".orrird
to .peak in a public oufy. But, 11’,
wien I fee the ceareft i..t--ett3 ot r. 17
| country tinjuftiy attacked by a forrq n
j r,4iion, 1 tnuft brg the indulgence of this
coinmitue while I express mv fentimente
on the serious afpedi of our foreign re
lations. Sir, juo not with to ex'enuatc
thecondudof any nation. I hare no
predc'idion for one foreign nation more
then another. I iliall endeavor to speak
the language of an independent Ameri
can.
Sir, I had indulged a hope that the
ninth congress of the United States, had
aflcmbled u> deliberate on the morr.eti
tiious affairs of their country, as Ameri
cana ; but, fir, it gives me pain, and 1
rrgret extremely to fee gentlemen so far
forget the interests of their own country
lin defending the pretended rights of o
thers. That there should be a difference
of opinion refpeding their own regular
tions, was to be expeded : but when
your lawful commerce ia attacked, by
what the honorable gentleman from Vir
ginia so emphatically terms “ the Levia.
than of the ocean and attacked too
i contrary to their own acknowledged
} principles, as laid down in the concs
t pondence between your late worthy
j miniller, Mr. King, and the British min
uter, lord Hawkdbury, I beg leave to
call on the clerk to read that part of the
B lion memorial which relates to that
correspondence. £i ne clerk read the
article.")
This is 110 fidion, fir ; it is a mere
matter of fad. After all this, I mull
confefs 1 am affonifhed to find gentlemen
in an American congress palliating the
ixpreffment of our lcamen and the in
cileriminats condemnation of our vcffela
and cargoes. Are we prepared to pre
ierit an humble aidreis to his raoft gra
cious inajefly on the throne, praying he
would Youchl afe to take us into his holy
keeping, pardon our former tranfgres—
lions, and accept of us as leige iubi.ds
who have erred from the right way ?
No, Sir; wc arc not coionifts, we arc
an independent nation. Y our ads and
laws iptak of thirty years independence ;
I wife we could 1 or.qocr our prejudice*
as easily as we did our enemies. Shall
we never get rid of the idea of colonift*
and dependants on Great Britain ?
I fnall now commence ray obfervatiom
on our unfortunate fellow citizens in
Britife bondage j and, in answer to the
honorable gentleman from Maryland,
whom I very much refped, do frankly
acknowledge that amongl! ail the peti
tions presented to you, by the merchants
of the United States, taere is not one
word about our impressed featnen, Sa
lem and another port excepted. But,
fir, I beg leave to inform this committee-,
and that honorable gentleman, that be
fore we enter our vt ffJs at the cutlora
house, we are called upon to witness the
recording of this talc of human woe be
fore a notary public, Rating all the fea<
rr.cn itnprcli’ed during the voyege. This
is immediately tranunitted to the secreta
ry of ilate, fur the correftnefs of which,
1 refer you to the document from inat
department now on your table. Sir, is
it decorous, 16 it candid, is it Liberal, is it
refpeftful to tbecomrvut.ee, to impute
luch unworthy motives to the merchant*
as wc heard expressed on this floor ? they
are men, hr ; and I believe candor wiif
allow them their share of fenlibility, and
that they fympathife for fuff.ring human
ity as much a# a planter, a farmer, a law.
yer, or any ether clnfs of the community.
Sir, 1 feel as much as any man for the
bufferings of this meritorious class of ci
tizens, having been an eye witnefj to the
barbarous treatment inflicted by tp e
cers of the British government, o[l oni ,
of them. lie was iafhed to a f - a ffold
on the gunwale of a boat, and w hipp-ti
i.om ihip to fliip, until he had reC eiv and
five hundred Ufh:. ! ! What was the
coufeqwnce ? He expired next mor
ning—What was his crime ? H* had
been imprelUd into their C ru e l bondage,
and had endeavored to regain his liberty (
V C i,e a,l<cd ’ wnal 13 the remedy for
this outrage ? There is but cne , f ir . de.
™ a “ d for the p3 (l, an d
_ rc moke 7 our flag P ro *eft your citi
z-n5 > at lead on the high fens, the com*
n ‘° 1 road of all nations. Your
merchants can insure their property a
gainst this “ Leviathan of the ocean,”
but there is no alternative for the poor
faiior—he is inevitably doomed to cruel
slivery.
I now come to fpcak of foreign na
tions. We are told that the American
merchants cover Gpanifn property. This
may be the case : I believe it. But it
is to a very limited amount. The Span
ifn merchants have little capital at present
to dil'pofe of. Their government owes
them coulidcrable sums of money, and
the paper currency of that government
is at such a difeount (I believe from 40
to 50 per cent.) that they are not able
to extend their commerce, if they were
ever so much disposed to do so.
Refprfting the French merchants, a
great proportion of them in France are
bankrupts in consequence of heavy tp.x
es, contributions, forced loans, and all
the impositions of imperial ingenuity.
That country depends not on commerce
for ber revenue ; she collefts one hun
dred and twenty millions of dollars per
annum, of which twenty millions only are
levied upon commerce, being et ten per
sent, on the whole revenue. Their
merchants have it cot in their power t<
extend their bufinef* for w-ntof a capi
tal, which is a fnft that will be acknow
ledged by all commercial men. They
are by no means the favorites of (lie em
peror ; he grants them no indulgences,
of which the late trac.faclions at the na
tional bat k are a futneteut vvidcr.ee.’
