Refered to a committee of five members. 7 hurfdny, December 31. A raeffage was received from the Prcfidcnt of the United States giving the information requested by them relative to the difeharge of (fate balances, and representing that Ncw- Vork is the only date that has difeharged any part of the reported balances, and that flie has in confennencc been allowed a credit of 222,810 dollars on the books of the Treasury. Referred to the committee of the whole on the Rate of the union. Monday , January 6. The speaker laid before the House a letter received by him from David Ransfey, re presenting that his son, though possessed of a protection, had been impressed by the Bri tish ; and that, notwithstanding his raoft ftrenuons exertions, he is unable to obtain his relcafe. Tfie letter is couched in un lettered, bit pathetic terms, and concludes in the following manner; “ I loft au estate by lending money to carry on the revolu T tionary war, and I fuffewui «v,ery thing but death, by being a prifoncr among them (the Britilh) in Canada. 1 lay fifteen months in close confinement, when I bore the rank of a lull captain ; and if this is all the liber, ty I have gained, to be bereaved of my children in that form, and they made Haves, I had rather be without it. 1 hope that Congress will take Tome speedy methods t • relicveour poor difireffed children from under their wretched hands, whose tendered mercy is cruelty*" Referred. Mr. Varnnm from the committee on that part of the PrefiJcnt's Mcffage which re lates to the organization of the militia, the augmentation of the laid forces, &c. made a further report in part, submitting a bill , authoriftng a detachment of the militia of the United States ; which was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow. The bill authorifes the President of the United States to require the Executives °f i the refpedltve fates to hold their quota of one hundred thou/a»d milt tia in readhttfi to march at a moment's warning: authorifes the acceptance of volunteer corps as a part of the detachment, and appropriates dollars for the purposes of the aft. Mr. Crtnuninjhield obfeeved that, at the last feflion, there had been a return made to the House of the American fcamcn impressed by British vcfl'ds, which had not been afted upon. Since that period these impediments had increased in a raoft aftoniihing degree. It was a faft that from 2,500 to of our bed feamcO were detained British. We want, said Mr. C. the services of this ufeful class of men. That the attention of the House may be drawn to the fubjeft, in order that proper measures may be taken by the government, I have drawn up the fol lowing resolution: * Refolded, That the Secretary of State be directed to lay before this House, a return of the number of American (eamenwho have been impressed or detained by the (hips of war or privateers >of Great-Britain, whefe names have been reported to khe department cf ftateyfoce the statement was made to the House at the last fclfion of Congress. Mr. Elliot said that in seconding the motion of the gentleman from Massachusetts, he felt it a duty to exprtfs a hope that the resolution would not only be 1 adopted with perfeft unanimity, but that we Ihould no longer flop at the precise point of the adop tion ofa simple resolution calling for informa tion on this interesting fubjeft. The infor mation which was laid before the House at the last fdfion, with that which has fine* been derived from the public papers, has pro duced a loud exprefflon of public indignation, which it is our duty to echo with energy. To prefer every confiquence to insult and habitual wrong, is a sentiment ol the Ex ecutive, which has been admitted even by its opponents to be correft and honorable. Has the time arrived when it has become indispensably neccffary to reduce this princi ple to prafticc ? Do we iuifer insult and habitual wrong ? Our merchants call loudly for the redrefsof injuries. 1 hope we (hall redress them. Let us extend to them the arm of national protection* but let us extend it aifo to another class of injured citizens j : w'hile we give it to the rich, let us not withhold rt from the poor, . The groans of our impressed fellow-citizens mingle with the tsurmurs of every gale from the ocean ! 1 queen of that clement ought no longer to be fuffered to bespangle her diadem with the tears cf American teamen, or to fubftitutc her will and her interest for the laws of na ture and cf nations. It is to be hoped that upon this fubjeft we (hall tak« an attitndc worthy of the nation, an attitude not to be abandoned but by obtaining Complete justice , The resolution was then agreed to unani mously. FRANCE. SIXTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Ried, i ith Brumaire, year 14. Prince Murat continued his pursuit of the enemy, and arrived on the 9th before Lam bach. The Austrian Generals, feeing that their troops could no longer hold out; made 8 Ruffian battalions advanqe.to protect their retreat. The 17th regiment of infantry of the line, the rft rangers and the Bth dragoons charged the Ruffians with impetuosity, and, after a briflt fire of mulketry, threw them into disorder and led them as far as Larabech. We made among whom about a hundred are Ruffians 4 Ac the moment of his arrival at Salz. burgh, Marlhal Beraadotte detached Gene, ral Kellerman at the head of his advanced guard in pursuit of a column of the enemy, which was retreating by the road of Catin thia. It (heltered itfelf behind the fort of Pafsling in the defile of Colling. However strong its position might he, the carbineers of the 27th regiment of light infantry attacked it with impetuosity. General Wcrlc made captain Campabane go round the fort by almost imprafticable ways. Five thousand men, three of whom, are officers, were made prifofters. The enemy's column, three thousand men strong, was dispersed in the heights. We have found such a quantity of arms there, that we are in hopes of picking up a great many prison ers* General Kellerman bestows great praise on the conduct of tFFe chef de Battal ion Barbe Latour. General Wcrlc had his coat (hot to rags. The ground is covered with snow ; the rains are over; the cold has set in, it is pretty rigorous; it is not a beginning of November, but a month of January, This weather being drier, has the advantage of being wholfomer and more favorable to our rea fch, SEVENTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE ♦ GRAND ARMY. La mbach, 12th Brumaire, year 14. Today the 12th; Marihal Davouft has his advanced poftt near Stcyer. Gen. Mil haud,. with the reserve of the cavalry under the orders of Prince Murat, entered Lintz ■ on the 10th. Marlhal Launes arrived there on the 12th, with his cotps of the army. Considerable magazines were found at Lint*, the inventories of which arc-not yet arrived; in the hospitals were many sick, among whom, a hundred Ruffians. Some prisoners were tak?n, among whom fifty Ruffians. In the a3ion of Lambach, were two princes of Ruffian cannon among thofc taken. A Ruffian General and a Colonel of Austrian hussars were killed. Since our eroding the Inn, We have taken between fifteen and eighteen hundred pri soners, Austrians and Ruffians, without comprising the sick. There is no news ofM. Larcchefocau j he is thought to be Rill at Vienaa, At the moment when the Austrian army crofled the Inn, he alkcd for his passport, which was refufed him. Several Ruffian deserters have arrived to-day. The season continues very rigorous; the ground is covered with snow, and the wea ther very cold. At Lambach magazines of fait were found, to the value of fevcral millions. In the chest of Lintz were several hundred thou sand florins. 1 The Ruffians have laid every thing wafie at Weis, Lambach and all the surrounding villages. In some villages they have killed eight or ten peasants. WASHINGTON CITY, January 8. The memorial, presented to Congrcfs, by the merchants of New. York, on the inva sion of our neutral rights, will command the deepest attention. The sentiments it an. ■ounces are truly American, such as it be comes the citizens cf this weftern world to cherish, to avow, and to rife or fall in «f. ferting. That th* unjust conduft of Britain, if persisted in, would drive the great body of the nation into the adoption of such senti ments, we have never entertained a doubt, since our mind was awakened to its injustice and enormity, American academy or arts. At a late meeting of the Academy, a let ter was received from William Riggin, esq. consul general from the United States to the ports of France, on the Adriatic, adrifing of a donation from the British consul general in Egypt, George Baldwin efq. This donation consists of casts cf the fol lowing antiquejbufts ; the originals of which were Mr. Baldwin during his refidencc in Egypt. 1.

Our fubfcrlbers on the Petcrfburg road, arc informed, that they are not to pay the Poft-Ridcr for carrying their papers, as he has agreed to take them on the former terms, j —- Boftor, January 4, We arc indebted to Mr. Ezra Davis, cf this town, for the following highly impor tant and very agreeable information Mr. Davis left the Vineyard on Wednesday evening the iftinft. and fays, that all our differences with the Spanifli government were amicably fettled to Mr. Pinckney’s entire fatisfa&ion. This most pleasing in telligence was bro’t to the Vineyard by the Ihip Resolution, Captain D. Rogers. • Capt, Rogers frequently saw Mr. Pinck ney at Lisbon, who had failed five days be fore Capt. R. left that place, in a Swedilk vessel bouiid to Charlellon, S, C. Mr, Pinckney told Capt, R, that the Sprtnifh Court had “agreed to pay for all Blips, car goes, and freights, according to their late stipulations with the American government. It is uuderttood also, that all our territorial disputes with Spain are happily fettled j and that the general afpeft of our diplomatic concerns in that quarter, were aufpicioug and Battering iu a high degree. Gen. Dumourier set out from London for the Continent, on %c 13th November, where he is to be employed in his military capacity; but in what service, or under what power, was not accurately known. ► , Intended ajj'ajfination of Bonaparte— -A policy of insurance was opened at Lloyd’s coffee house, London u on the 3ift of October, in which 10 guineas were offered to receive ICO, in case Bonaparte Jhall he killed in three months from that time 1 one man wrote on it for 500 guineas ! ! I Reader, recolleft this blccdy policy was not offered in Paris, by a gang cf French artirts, during the reign of Rohrfpierre. But it is a policy opened at Lloyd’s ceffce house in London, by British under writers t under the government of that chrifian king, George 111, whose admirals are in the habit of blaspheming God after murdering his creatures. This bloody policy, would not have been noticed had it been the frfi second or ihtrd time of aiding. It has been common, and has been always the forerun ner of attempts at assassination. The sirs policy we recollcft was that cn the of the emperor Paul cf Russia—that was opened at Lloyds. Paul was murdered three months afterwards ! Previous to the explosion of the infernal machine, in which Georges the friend of the traitor Pichegru was concerned, the policy was opened at Lloyd’js, on the life of Bona parte. Since that time other policies have been opened—now this is cn foot. Whenever a horde of assassins have been vomited on the coast of France by the reli gious monarch cf Britain, it appears to be immediately followed up at Llo)d’s, by a policy cn the death of Banaparta,-—Aurora* The Austrian prisoners captured in Ger many, are conveyed to France in detach ments of 7000 men each ; each detachment is guarded by a corps cf French, cf 1020 men; this service rauß takefremthe French army about 10,000 men for three vrtks; as it is to beprefumtd the ptifoners w ill be delivered over to the fedenrary national guards as fcon as they cross the Rhine.
