A raeffage was received from the Prcfidcnt

requested by them relative to the difeharge

Vork is the only date that has difeharged

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.

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

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

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,

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.

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

ments of 7000 men each ; each detachment
