Extract oj a letter from an old revolutionary
oJftcer t dated at Wajbingron in ihc Mr/,- I
JiJfippi, territory, bt hr nary 1 R/A, 1806.
“Xieut, Burke, Paymaftcx to our regular I
troops in this country, recently returned
from Nalhttalh, and arrived here last evening
from Fort / dams, informs us that the Span-' i
i(h commandant at Naftutafh came on to
Nalhitalh with the Marquis de Cafa Calvo,
when captain Potter ordered them both out
of the territory ceded fd the United States,
which the commandant refuted to comply j
with—whereupon captain Porter proceeded I
with a strong party against the-Spaniih pods
and drove them over the Sabine river. That |
after this news arrived, a tecond person
brought intelligence, that a party of fiv*
hundred Spanilh horfc had arrived to rein
force thole polls.—— 1 hat a (tvere engage
ment took place between them and (he force !
under captain Portet, in which the Spaniards
were completely routed.
“ If this be true, and there is norcafon to
doubt it, as captain Porter Rad determined
when he was attacked to .force them over
the Sabine at least, the force of national spi
rit spreads like eleflricity, and if we are
forced to go on, a hurricane cannot he more
deftruttive, if they do not flop by surrender
ing to us the ceded territory.”

HOjJSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, March 20.
A communication was received from the
Poft-Maftcr General, comprising a ftateineni
of contrails made for carrying the mail.
The following meffoge was received from
the Erejidem oj the U. States.
7 0 the Ssnafe and Hovfe of Reprefentativtt
of the U. States ,
It was reasonably ex petted that when
the limits between the territories ofthe U.
States and of Spain were unfetcled, neither
parry would have inne-vated on the cxiftine
Rate oi their refpeflive politicos. Some
tune fine* however, we learnt that the
SpamJ authorities were advancing into
the drfputeu country, to occupy nenT po sts
and make new fetdements. Unwilling to
take any meaforc which fright preclude a
pcaceabtc accommodation of differences, the' ‘
officers of the U. States were ordered to
confine themfelvcs within the country 0n
this fide of the Sabine river, which, by de
livery, of its principal post, Natchitoches'
was anderftocd to have been itfclf delivered
up by Spain ; and, at the fame time to
permit no advcrfc -post to be taken, nor
armed men to remain, within if, l n Con
feqnence of thefc orders, the commanding
officer at Natchitoches, learning that a party
of Spanith troops had ctnffed the Sabine
river, and were potting themfelvcs on this
fide the Adais, sent a detachment of his
force to requite t hem to withdraw to the
other fide of the Sabine, which they accor
dingly did.
I have thought it proper to communicate
to Congress the letters detailing this incident
that they may folly understand the (late of
things in that quarter, and be enabled to

their wisdom, they (hall deem fofficient/
TH: JEFFERSON.
Friday March ii.
( Mr.. Clark. Before I fit down I will
lay a resolution on the tabic, which Ijliave
for some time past kept in my drawer, I
: will do this with a c f a ffo r di« g
House an opportunity of excrcifing one of
its cosltreufional powers, I confider thc>
House of Rcprefcntattves as the immediate
guardians of the rights of those whom they
represent. They are more dispersed through,
out the U. States than any other dafs of
public men, and from them on their return
home the people may rationally ex peel a
<more complete information of what is palling
here, than from any other persons. In so
extensive a country there is a better chance
ot their affairs being known through this
organ than through licentious presses. With
regard to the public chara/ler, who. is the
objed of this resolution, I have long had
suspicions, and 1 havc .finee found, from
I confider good authority, these fufpj.
cions confirmed, I have good tea fen to be
lieve that a man high in office, no other
man than the Poft.ixiaflcr-gcncral of the U,
States has been combining and machinating
against the representatives of the people,
and that he has used his efforts to seduce a
press [Mr. Clark is underflow! here to have
alluded to the Aurora] to aid him in a claim
depending before this House. I know of
one authority which could relieve \his
House from the ncccffity of difeharging
what may be considered an unplefant doty*
by getting rid of what may he called a puh.
lie nuisance. I mean the Prcfident of the.
U. S. It is bccaufe I believe that great
& good Rian, whbfe greatefl fault, if he has*
fault confifl inhisgOodnefs, has not been fully
informed on this fubjelV, that this courfc is
rendered neeeffary. I have fiich uconfidenc*
in the Prcfidcnr, that I believe, if he had
received this information, he would not
have fuffered this officer to remain a moment
■' * n P lace -. Bl “i g‘>cd, jufl, and honest him.
felf, he liflens to ear wigs, who surround
: him, who extol this officer, and whisper
sweet things in his favor, i think it a duty
I owe to the government to take this step.
As to the reprefentacive part of it I have
little apprehension, as I know that in case
of mifcondutfl the election ferew, that ad
mirable feature of the fyjflem, will apply an
abundant remedy. But when an officer in
the Executive department is found to bcun
deferving of confidence it is right that the
people (hould know it; and with the con
victions I entertain, I (hould not do my
duty if 1 did not make this motion, before
the end of my political life, which may in
a few days expire.... I therefore submit the
following resolution :
Re/olvedf That a committee be appointed
to enquire into the conduit of Gideon Gran,
ger, Poft.mafter.general of the U. States
ard report their opinion whether the (aid
Gideon Granger hath so ailed in bis capacity
of Pott-matter-genera’, as to require the
interposition of the conflitutional power of
this House.
The House having agreed to confider this
resolution,
Ms. Dana faggefted the expediency
ctt * n g it lie for a day, as an' important
principle was involved in its adoption.
Mr, Clark replied, that though ho
felt the strongest difpofirion to, be obliging,
he could not agree to the poflpoitement.
Ihe session was prefling towards a close,
and there was no time to be lofl. The
enquiry ought to be made, that th/sy officer
implicated might, if innocent, be acquitted;
and if guilty, dismissed from office.
Mr. Jackson hoped the rsfolurion
would not be permitted to iicnnallcd On.
Mr. Lvov was likewise \rC favor of an
immediate agreement to the resolution, and
remarked that it was cxalt'y the thing fo
liated the last fetfion by the FJI-martcr
general.
Mr. Smilie said it was proper that an
enquiry (hould be made whenever there
were any allegations of criminality ; with
out such allegations he was not ready to
vote for this enquiry... (hould they be made
he should he ready to vote for it.
Mr. Clark fold He had dated, what he
thought would have been dittinltly heard
throughout the House, f h«st he had hern
well informed, and which he believe 1
coaid he eflablinied by unexceptionable
testimony, that the Poft-mafter-gcncral had
conspired againfl the representatives of the
people Hy attempting to seduce a press in
fovor of a claim he had before the House.
The resolution was then agreed to with
out a division, and A committee of enquiry
appointed, confiding of M* firs Claris
Roger, Nelfqn, fiidwell, J. Clay, Pitkin*
D.'R. Williams, and Clinton.*
