The also came to a resolution to wear crape for Samuel Adams and Edmund Pendleton. This Ml measure was not adopted without debate. Messrs. Pickering, Hillhoufe, Adams, Dayton and Tracy, opposed it j or. the ground of the precedent it would j fuinifh. It was fupportcd by Messrs. Br tckenridge, Nicholas, Wright, S. Smith, Jackl'on and Butler. The opponents of the motion requir ed the taking of the yeas and nays, which were—-Yeas 21 —-Nays 10. CONGRESS. house oe representatives. Monday, Odialer 3 1 . A Message was received from the Menace, (dating that they had receded from their disagreement to the amend ments of the bottle to an aft “ to enable ci.c Prelident to take pofftlfion of .the territories ceded by France to the United States by the treaty concluded at Paris, cnthe 30th of April lad; and for the temporary government thereof.” Mr. Eppes, from the joint committee of enrqlemenl, reported that the com mittee had examined Die above bill, and had found ..the fame duly enrolled—■ whereupon Mr. Speaker iigned the lame. Gn motion of Mr. Early, the resolu tion, laid on the table by Mr. Rodney for the extiriguiUinient of Hate balances, was till, the ill Monday of December, to allow time for the repre sentation of Nkw-jerfey in the honfe. Motion to exclude Strangers. Mr. Early of Georgia observed that the house mult often luve experienced the great mien option their bufinels and de bates met with, from* the admitlion of Hungers upon the floor. He therefore moved, that it be resolved, thslt no per son ihall be admitted within the bar of this house without being introduced by cue of. the members thereof, Foreign Ambsffcdors and their suits excepted. Mr. Nicholson, laid, it will be. well to cchne what is meant by being within the bar. He did not apprehend that the gentleman from Georgia meant that this xefclution fho.uld extend to thcexdpfion (ft Stenographers; or to the total exclu fi-.m of a certain part of their auditors (females) whefe company he was always hapm to Ice in that part of the house fiunT vbich.thfc gentleman was for ex cluding ilrangei t , Mr. Early declared, that he was as much pleased to have the company allu ded t; wrthjt: the oar as the gentleman whj !jv:ke lait. It was not, continued f.ir. E. feota. an idea of excluding them —but chat their prcfcr.ce draws after e’ucm another defcri| tion of llraagers, who greatly ditlurb the bufmefs of the house. If the gentleman will form a XcfoKition so as to admit the former and xti'ft the latter, it Ihall give my hearty aff'm. • . _ . j.*i'ft.nfl'.!ph, was thankful to the gen tlem.m from Georgia, for having intro duced this motion. It was an invidious talk, in moving for that which went to interrupt the eg refs and regress of the house. Since Us being a member of the house, he had not once then the gallery Entirely full. He wilh.d to give every citizo,’! right to hear the proceedings of thi* |f .( e. In the aiforders and inter ruplfon which so frequently happen in the.houfe, he has marked that the galle ry is alrnofl always exenfpt from them. T*he,gallery is immediately before the Speaker and under the cognizance of the chair. Those who occupy it are seated, and cannot walk about. As long as persons are fuffered indifcrimmately to come within the bar, and talk, no offi cer can keep order in the house. I have frequently seen great intnifion from strangers—-they occupy the fire -places, and they interrupt our debates. Ido not think Foreign Ministers lh Juki at tend the debates of this house, and I /eonid wilh to have them excluded in the prr'er.t motion. Their bufmefs is with the executive—they can have no bufmeff in this house. . Mr, Huger, understood that t!ie mo tion went to exclude any person coming within the second door, if so, he. might perhaps vote for it; yet, it was rather hard if a member could not introduce a particular friend—one who might have come a great diftmee to hear the debates or to fee his reprefeutarives; and upon Lome momentous question find it difficult to be conveniently seated in the gallery, Mr. Randolph, moved to ilrike out the words “ Foreign Ministers.” Mr. Elliot opposed, and Mr. Sanford tnoved, that the question be poilponec! t Mil to-morrow. Agreed. Tuesday, November t. The motion to exclude ltrangers from the floor of the house, was again taken up—and, after confideraWe debate, it was agreed, upon the motion’ of Mr. Da vfnri, to be po!t;>or.ed until the isl day of june next. NORFOLK, November 3. Captain Whitrjdge, arrived here on Tucfdiy lalt, from Salem, (poke on Sa turday a brig, out 40 days from Cadiz, the captain of which corroborated the accounts we fome days since published f f war being declared by the Emperor Ci Morocco against the United States. CHARLESTON, Nov. 9. A gentleman in this city has received a letft.r, ‘gi a ing information that the French piivueer lately off our bar, a few days since ran a pilot boat, in which were an hundred negroes, on Tybee 1 breakers—seven of the negroes, and the j Pilot, were drowned. The privateer is j said to be now near Tybee. ’’ 1 . IN —— ! SAVANNAH, Nov. 16. A democratic paper informs us, that Mr. Jefferson has dispatched his private secretary, capt. Lewis, accom panied by a’ capt. Clark, and attended by 20 soldiers in the disguise of hunters, to explore his newly purchased territory of Louisiana ; which also states that “ The first cbjeft with these trav ellers, is to proceed to the source of the Missouri, and thence to endeavour, bv following the course of some great river, to reach the pacific ocean—. This, no doubt, is an expedition of great difficul ty and hazard, at the same time, if.suc cessful, as wu wish it may, of great na tional importance.” It would appear, however, to be a matter of quite as great national impor tance, to ascertain whether the United States, after all this negoclation, are to be compelled at last to assert their right to a place of deposit on the Missisippi by the point of the bayonet , for, not withstanding our purchase of the coun try, the place of deposit is not yet re stored, nor is there a probability of its being done immediately, as the Spanish court has not only remoc lira ted to our government for purchasing the country, but direfted the governor, not to deliver it up, either to France or the U. States. The question then now is, whether the Pre.-ident with the troops of tire firated States will proceed to conquer the terri” tory, or whether he will call upon the “ Enlighten / Government of France*'* to do it for him. If our enlightened ex ecutive has not been purchasing “ a pig in the poke,” there is sufficient reason to fear the purchase is involved in a scene of illaaueation, no less ridiculous and embarrassing. The following observations are ex tracted from the “ Wafbington Fede raliit, of the 3 1 il ultimo : “ A report has been current for fome days pall, that tne Spanish mini! ter had entered a protest ‘.gainlt ths U. ’ States tailing poneiun of Louiflaha un der the treaty with France. Our en quiries on this iubjeft have refaited, in a firm belief-of the truth of the report. In the treaty between France and Spain, the latter was to receive dr. equivalent in Italy far Louisiana. ‘ 6 The Spanish court now Contends, and with great juilice, that as France has not put Spain in portsffion of the equiv alent, that ffie is not bound to give up Louisiana. The claim of our govern ment to a portion of the country on the Fall fide of the rivet Milfifippi, has giv en great alarm and uneasiness to. the Spanish court. It has been generally supposed that Louisiana, lay entirely on the Weft fide of the river. It is now contended by our government and hy Mr. Randolph in congress, that it em braces a large traft cf Territory on the Eall fide of the river, lately diilin“uifh ed as West Florida.-— Under this con lttuftion of the Treaty the Spanish ter ; ritory in North America will be very trifling both in extent and value. She will be excluded from the Miffiftppi, the Mobile, and several other important rivers, and from the mud valuable part ’ of the Floridas as to fertility of foil and commercial advantages. The United ; States will possess all (he wants, as to • security and navigation. She will there - fore not only be wholly independent of Spain, but will poifefs the means of ei fentialiy injuring and annoying her in case of a rupture. . “ Under these circumftar.ee;, it is no vender that Spain should feel both re : fentment and mortification at being thus ’jockeyed out of her poffeflions. Ano ther reason ft ill more injurious to the charafter of the firll confol is affigneci Tor the conduft of Spain. It is supposed by many, that Spain is in thy inltance, what file has been, for several years pall, the mere tool of France. That the Treaty, made with this country by France, was merely for the purpose of either obtaining a loan, or of cheating a few rich individuals out of their fortunes. It has been Hated in the papers, .that Dutch merchants were negotiating with the Fiench government for the purchase the money, to be paid by the U. States. ‘Bonaparte may have secured this eafh and now invents these delays, that the territory may be unoccupied till the con clusion of the war, when he will again take poffeflion. He will, by this fkilfu! manoeuvre, obtain the loan of money, secure the country againfl the possession of England, and enjoy the benefit of it in the end, without the intermediate ex pence and trouble of preserving it. It will be universally allowed that such a piece of diplomacy would be well wor thy the genius and principles of Bona parte. It will be founded too, on the true principles of Liberty and equality.” We learn from Louisville, that Mr. Milledce is re-elefted governor. A letter received via Boson, from Si. Übcs, dated the 23d A just, fays— “ The Portuguefc govern lent had il fued orders direfting ever) man in the kingdom, without dillin ion, who is capable of bearing arms, t hold himfelf in reading's to join the smies; and in the mean time had prohib ed the young men from marrying.” j Balt, fat ] Extra/2 of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in 1 ichmottd, Fir ginia, dated September 1 u, 1 SO3. “ Great preparations ae Hill making for the threatened fiom France, but from thc.ftrift blockadf of those ports and of the Dutch, although little appre henficn can be entertained of their put ting to lea without our knowing it, and if fortune favours tjneir success to reach this country, the dciteat they mull experience will be the belli proof of even our present slate of defencj and prepara tion; indeed the Very national fpiritmull aft out sh the world, much more than even the inhabitants themlelves.
