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 make foch provilion tor its security, as in 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.*
