Bet hid these distinguished men fallen into the hands of Griat Britain, the last's of wflr would have entitl'd them t« the same tenderness subjected them to the same conditions, as'njt.ve Americans. The same principle is equally applicable to those woo enter into the acivice of the savage*.

The desolation and ruin of the Wyom ing settlement, in the revolutionary war, tnd the recent massacres'at Fort Minims and on the river Kai-.il!, in perfect accor dance with their general history, from the /ommcncement at our national existence, cSjrnish sufficient demonstration of this /a cl. Alexander Arlmthnot was take:: as a resident amongthc savages, with whom hi had identified himself, by acting as their agent, exciting them to the war, aiding abating, am! supplying them with the means of carrying it on. Hubert C. Am blister was taken in their actual service as a leader ami commander ol theirforccs, by which, as well as by aiding, ahetttn comforting, and supply nig tlitiu, lie was also identified with t ie savages. Agrei a- 6ly to these principles of tiie laws ot na tions, the committee are fully of opinion, filial general Jackson, as commander of the army, had the right to exercise upon tht'M the law of retaliation, without the intervention of a cuuit martial. How ever cautiously this rule should be exer cised, and desirable as mercy always 19, whenever it can be exercised, with safety, this godlike virtue has its bounds, bryor.il which, its exercise would be a perversion of justice; and it is presumed that the re peated murders which had been committed upon our citizens, tire many bluody tro phies of their cruelties found at Mickas- uky, and their- persisting in hostility against the repeated warnings and thrrats, which had been .held out to them, bore conviction to the mind uf general Jackson, that the exercise of the law of retaliation bail become necessary to the future safety of Ids fellow-citizens Bat he chose to submit the case, to the investigation and decision of a court mar tial, composed of di-tingufsi.cd officers, by whom Alexander Aibuthnot was con damned to be hung, which sentence was confirmed and executed. By the same tribunal. Robert C. Ambrister was, in the first instance, condemned to be shot; but. upon reconsideration, they changed the sentence to that of corporal punishment and oqnfig :ment to hard labor. The r< consideration was disapproved by gentr. Jackson, and the first sentenre confirmed and executed. On this last point the committee arc of opinion, that it would have been more correct tor general Jack son, after submitting the case to a court magtial, not only to examine the facts as to his guilt, liut to determine the punish ment to he inflicted; to have acquiesced in their final and only legal decission as a court. But, in this, flic committee are satisfied that general Jackson did not trap scowl the- power warranted by She JiW of rCw!:M'«n«Khe prisoner’s own con fession, and the evidence'produced going to establish the facts which justified its application. And though the principles of national law. involved in this war, would have authorised a more extensive sacrifice, even on the persons of the innocent, yet the committee deem it a matter «.f great -felicitation, that punishment fell upon the guilty alone; and that the object is effected; with so limited an example of justice. " Under this view of the whole subject, the .committee can discover much which me rits applause, and little that deserves chn- sure: and, from, the incalculable benefits resulting to the nation. from the faithful find distinguished surci.es of general Jack- son and the officers and men who served un der his command, in terminating finally the Seminole war, are of opinion that they are entitled 'i Oil'HE TUAA'KS of their country." The report having been read— Mr. Cobb of Georgia, rose to make a motion, the object of which was to give to the report of the military committee, as well as to the substitute presented by a member of that committee, a dirucliuu —.which should ensure to it a discussion, as M'ult as was desired, at the present session. Fur this purpose, he moved to refer them to a committee of the whole on the state of the union. These papers,hs said, in volved principles of great consequence, on which in some measure depended, as he believed, the chararter of (he natiuji; they also necessariiy involved important ques tions as to the laws of nations, and as to the constitution of our own country, and ought to have a deliberate consideration: Mr. Floyd, of Virginia, was as desirous as the gentleman from Georgia, of a deli berate discussion of the subject of these report*;but, if they were referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, a motion to go into which was al ways in order, the house might be taken bv surprise, or brought iuto the discussion entirely without notice, nt the motion of any gentleman who wished it. He there fore wished the papers should be referred, as in ordinary cases, to a committee of the whole. - Mr Strother, of Virginia, agreed with the gentlemen who had preceded him, that thexepmt -houldbeso disposed ofas to tn- mn* a I 'uli examination ot its merits. The subject, hs sjud, was cue * ( •-'lusiderable iule«e»t and excitement, though fie w&g nut under .the iippi ession t int it was one of great maguit joe, nor that it carried in its bosom the late of the nation, as the xeutleman trrnn Georgia seemed to sop. pose, which depended on for other consi derations. The best course to pursue in regard to these papers, Mr.'S, thought, Would be, (o lay them on tin: table.-— i liouyfi not of momentous- consequesice, lie said, yet the (jj'cisiun on them was cal culated to implic.-te the character, and pel naps the happiness of the illustrious in, dividual whose proceedings it wan propos ed to censure. * Me would, in regard to any proposition .involving the happiness or reputation of any individusi, conspicuous or obscure, act with great deliberation.— He was therefore opposed to referring this matter to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, thus putting it in the priHier of any individual to call it up when he pleased, and to precipitate the bouse into a discussion, unadvisedly and unpre pared. lie was for not hastily acting on a proposition to censure a man who had given celebrity to t)iu arms bf his country, and thr„v5 ii a brighter lustre on the nation al character. Mr. Poindexter, of Mississippi, said he hoped that the house would never agree to a report, in affirming which the house would he required to forget the wrongs inflicted on us by foreign nations, to over- loo'. .he inhuman deeds committed on the frontier ol Georgia, und to turn its atten tiori to tiie laudable c u }e*ct of destroying* the reputation of one of its most distin guished cili/.ens. It was notin the point of view in which the gentleman from Geo gia had regarded the question: it w as not fioin any regard 10 the savages of Florid and their allies, British refugees and Spa uish agents, or from a wish to crush tffat man by the strong arm of power—that man who had so much merited the thanks of his country, that lie wished a full and early discunssion of the subject. He did not wish it, he said, to be referred to a committee of the whole, or to lie on the table, anil be forgotten. He was not veil ling tiiat any such report as that from the military committee, calculated to ruin the reputation of 11 man who had rendered signal services to r is country, should be onsidered as representing the opinion of this house. He’was not willing, there fore, that it should remain for a moment on the table, hut should undergo a full dis* cussion, as early as practicable; which would be ensured by referring it ton coin mittee of the whole on the state of the un ion. Mr. Mercer, of Virginia, while he con gratulated the house on the dignified re port which the military committee had presented to them, was disposed, in tin proceedings on this subject, to act with ai necessary deliberation. The only objec tion he had heard to the proposition to re fer the subject to a committee of the whole or. the state of the cni:m, was, that it might bn called up at any time: this ob jection, he said, might be entirely obviated, by naming a day when i: should be called up; and, if a day were net named, the house would always have it in its power, if it chose, to refuse to go irilo committee, if moved for at too early a day He should deplore, -Mr. M. said, perhaps more than any member of the house, that this should he referred to an ordinary committee of the whole, and that the whole session should pass oft' without an expression on the part of the house, of its opinion on this subject. With respect to the character ofgeneral Jackson, (hough he Would not unnecessarily arraign it, Mr. M said, he looked, in the view which he took of the importance of this queston, to higher ob- j ject>; to the character of this house, and of this nation. Mr. Smyth, of Virginia hoped, that the motion ot the gentleman from Georgia would prevail. Hs presumed that Ihe gentlemen adverse to gen. Jackson were none of them desirnus of precipitating the discussion.nr taking any advantage, by surprise, of those who approved of his con duct. He supposed that by Monday uext eveiy gentleman who desired to take a partin the discussion would bo prepared and that that day would be agreed on.-— He said he should, when the discussion tame on, attempt to shew that all the pro ceedings ofgeneral Jackson were justifia ble, by'the law* of nations. Air. Desha, of Kentucky, wished the papers to ije on the table; 'tiiat the. mem bers of the house might have an opportu nity of examining them; but, if referred to any committee of the house, lie wished the substitute ns well as the repot t to be referred—and that, in their publication, they might go together; that the world should see and understand the views ol both sides uf the house. Mr. Johnson, ol Kenturky, suggested tile propriety of concurrence; on all sides of the house, in the commitment of the re port anil the amendment, to a committee, as proposed. If for no other reason than that the speaker might wish to participal in the debate he should approve of that course. The subject had excited consid erable sensation, and he hoped every op portunity tvuuld be given to members, on all sides of the house, to express their •pinions. To debate it cow was - to take up the time of the house to no useful pur pose whatever. After some further remarks, from Mes srs. Floyd, Cobb and Strother, ia support of their respective opinions, and some con versation on a point of order, (he question on referring the report of the military com mittee to a committee of the whole on the state of the union was carried without a division. On motion of Mr. Desha, the paper of. > fcreil by Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, as a i substitute, was then referred to the same . committee, and Air. Tailmadge gave notice that, if no I one else did, he should, on Alonday nex - . more to go iuto a committed on the wsaote j on this subject. IN SENATE. Wednesday, January 13.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Rhea, from the cjnmittee, of pi* sions and revolutioiiry claims, r ported a bill to provideifor the payment of the pensions of persots under guardian ship, to their guardians; Ivhich was twi read; when i Mr. Mills moved firstjto recommit the bill; but subsequently tdlay it on the fa ble, as there were rases lhicit ought tub* embraced in its prov sicis; which it did not now contain. This motion, after sone opposition by Mr. Rhea, prevailed; ami the bill was laid on the table. Mr. Middleton, from tie committee on that part of the president’s message which relates to the illicit introluction of slaves, reported a bill “in addition to the act for the prohibition of the siaie trade;”’ which was read and committed' On motion nfAIr Pindill, it was Resolved, That the cmimittee of mili tary a (fairs be instructs] to enquire into :he expediency of allowing a further time to the guardians of the minor children of deceased soldiers, to relinquish their claims to bounty lauds r or five years’ hall pay, as provided by the.srcond section of an act, entitled “An ict making furtlie provision for military jerviccs during the late war, and for other purposes,” appro ved the 16tli April, 181GJ On motion of Air Cron'cll,it was llesolved, That the committee on the public lands b« instructed to enquire into the expediency of authorizing by law the friendly chiefs and warriors of the Creek Indians to sell to the United States all their right and claim to such lands as It jve or may be reserved and located for them the Alabama territory, in obedience to the first article of the treaty of the ninth day uf August. 1814, making the reserva tion, and the law of congress authorising the location. On motion of Mr. Herrick, it was llesolved. That the dominittee on roads and cabals be instructed to enquire iuto the expediency of providing oy law, for the ppointincnt of commissioners to survey, ay out and mark a road from the west hank of the Ohio'river, opposite the point where the Cumberland road strikes the same through St. Cjaifsviile to Columbus from thence to the western line of the state otOhio, in'a direction to St. Louis, in Missouri territory. . The house on motion of Mr. Cobb, pro ceeded to the consideration of the bill re ported at the last session, explanatory of the act lor the sale of certain public lots in the city of Washington, [authorizing the sale of the open space between the square and the Pennsylvania avenue, so as to ex - tend the lots sold to the line of the avenue.] The question before tire house was, on concurring in certain amendments reported bv the select committee, not affecting the object ol the bill, and which were concur red in. Air. Barbour wished the bill to be laid on the table, as some questions appeared to be involved in it which ought not to be Jecided hastily. 'Mr. B. moved that the bill be laid on the table. Air. Cobb replied, that the house had had time enough to make up its opinion on the subject,as the hill had laid on the table a part of the last session and the whole of th« present, and hoped it would not igair be laid by. Ti e question, was carried, to lay the bill on the table, by a large majority. The bill from the senate to enable the people of the Alabama territory to form a state government, and the bill to suspend for a further 'limited time the sale or for feiture of lauds, for failure in completing the payment?, were received from the sen ate, severally twice .read and. commit ted. The bill authorising the payment of a sum of money, to the officers and crews of gun boats 149 aad , 154, was taken up in committee, Mr. Desha in the chair, the blank filled with £482 dollars, and the bill ordered by the house to be engrossed.

After a debate, yesterday, in the senate, the resolution moved by Mr, Dickerson, proposing an amendment to the constitu tion ol the United States, to establish an uu'l.o in mode ol election (by districts) ot representatives to congress and elec tors ol president and vice president, was uidcied to be engrossed for a third read ing, by a majority of 23 to 11. This vote, we presume, ensures its passage, in that body, by. the constitutional majority of two thirds of all the members present. AVe hope, the period being so auspicious to a disembarrassed view of this question, that it may be candidly discussed else where, am! finally receive the same sane tion from the other branch ol the legisla ture, and from tho states, as it lias rcca-iv ed to the senate. Wo have „l wa,, of the opinion that such an amend ment was important to equalize the rights of the people, cm! the influence, of tiie states in the general government. The more immediately, too, the will of the people 1 s collected, in their respective dis tricts, the more surely, it appears to us are the doors of promotion in the execu tive chair guarded against the fraud of cabals, the intrigues of low ambition, and the no less baneful bargains of those who make a merchandize of political inllu nee.—A'at.

Improbable as the story seems to be, and unimportant as it is, admitting it to be tme, it has been made the subject of a spe cial despatch to Aix-la-Chapelle. Though the fallen Napoleon is completely isolated from the world, literally chained upon a barren rock in ihe midst of the ocean, without friends, abandoned by his country, and under the com dlete and undis turbed control of iiis enemies, possesses still e, f. ficient strength of mind and greatness jfaoid, to keed his inhuman jailers in constant alarm and apprehension. This circumstance, so iisi n fi- cant in itself, gives to the character of Nj,.o(eon an importance which the pride and po.v. r uf lii. enemies should have kept studiously concealed— It exhibits their fears, tiled* imbecility, in a point of view, too degrading and humiliating, not to exercise the contempt, if not the derision, of the liberal and humane portion of the world. It Na poleon, in chains, can excite such fears and per- tiubations, in the bosom of his tyrants, what must have been their sensations, when, in the fullness of'his power, he held a chastising rod over their broken crowns and supp.licating heads? It was this sensation, this fear, when Bonaparte had the ascendancy, that has now induced his masters to punish him, with a severity, which he disdained to exercise towards them, but winch their vindictive rage heaps upon him with a rehntlessness that knows no bounds, with a cold-blooded severity, characteristic; of a cowardly exercise of tyrannical power- [nr THE SAT.IT-e.V.V, FltOM IITEEPOOl] * COMMERCIAL.
