H.’.rrSF. OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Hugh Nelson, from the committee on the judiciary, made the following report, which, be- ting on a subject interesting to our readers, is co pied entire: Tie committee- on the judiciary, to whom was referred the memorial of sundry persons, inhabi tants of the cqnntiea of Nelson and Amherst, in •be state u£ Virginia, complaining that the act of congress, passed on the Slat day of January, 1808, entitled “An-act for the relief of Oliver Evans, fits vested a power in the said Evans, which has been exetciaedinan oppressive manner,” Report— That they understand the validity of Ihe said Oli ver F.vaitV patent, in relation to the Hopper Boy, .is undergoing a judicial examination in the courts of the United States; tint two verdicts and judg ments have been rendered against him, on this subject, by the circuit court of the United States held at Philadelphia, for the district of Pennsyl vania, in October last; tor the revision of which ■judgmrnis writs of error have been sued out by the avid'Oliver Evans, from the supreme court of Ilia United Stales, returnable to the ensuing teim ot the said court The committee is therefore of opinion, that it is inexpedient for congress to act upon the memorial abovementioned, until, at least, the decision of the supreme court shall l>e given m the case. The committee therefore recommend ‘the following resolution; //e.nb-r,/, That the committee on the Judiciary he diichargcd from the further consideration of the memorial above mentioned, and that it be laid upon the table. The report was concurred in. Mr. Southard, from the committee on Indian affairs, ma le a report accompanied bv a bill pro vidipg for the abolition of the existing Indian trading establishments of the United States, and providing tor Ihe opening of the trade with the Indians to individuals; and also a bill to authorise the Vresident of the United States to select such tribes of Indians as he may think best prepared for the change, and to adopt such means as he tnav judge expedient in order to civilize the same; which hills were twice read, Sir. Kr.'CampbpU, of Ohio, submitted for consider atian the following resolution: Jtmehed. That the committee on the judiciary he instructed to ccqtiire into the expediency of punishieg as spies white men who may he found instigating the Indians to hostilities or fighting -with them against the United States. Mr. Storrs objected to this resolution, that it prevented a question, to be settled by the law of ,natioiXH and not "by Congress. It would be a pro per question to be settled in a Congress where all the nations of the earth were represented, but it waa one rot to be taken into consideration here. Our rules ar.d articles of war prescribed the mode of trial of spies, and that was the only way in which Congress could legislate on the subject. Mr. Campbell said, his object was to institute an enquiry into the propriety of the punishment of white men found fighting with the Indians.— It was well known that two men—he knew not what countrymen to call them—Arbuthnot and Ambriftcr bv name, had been considered as out law^ being found in that situation. Or. this sub ject be would uoi express an opinion; but it was necessary, even il he were an Indian, that every person accused of crime should liave some sort •of a-trial. His sole object was to institute an en quiry into the subject. •Mr. Mills said, it was very seldom that be should detire to arrest the progress of any pro position for enyiorr/ into any nutter, but this -motion embraced a question, respecting which no enquiry cuuld be necessary. In addition to the.remarks of the gentleman from N. York, he seated another objection: if we pass it, said be, we ■Could not object to either governments, the Brit ish, Spanish, Lc. legislating on tlie subject. It •was well known that in our wars with Great Bri- •tsan, we had employed Indians on our side.

To adept the proposi tion r.ow before Ihe house, w ould be, in laci, to pronounce an opinion without enquiry. He wae, therefore, opposed to tlie resolution; because its adaption would be to prcjbtige a case prepa red and set apart for discussion. Or. the question being taken, the resolution was negatived by a large majori* Mr. Sergeant offieted for consideration the fol lowing resolution: P-iolvtd, That -the committee on the Judiciary be instructed to enquire into the expediency of enacting a general ordinance, whereby the fun damental principles of cicil and religious liberty shall be guaranteed to the inhabitants of the ter ritories exterior tort.be original limits of the Uni ted States, and made the basis of all governments hereafter to be established therein. Mr -Lowndes said, that tlie resolution was rath er obfeure in its terms, so that its scope wav not easily understood. He thought, however, he could perceive what the object of it was. He wished, however, that it might be permitted to lie on the table for the present, to give on oppor tunity to examine it. Mr. Sergeant said, he had no objection to the resolution’s lying on the table for the present, if any gentleman desired it. With respect to the allusion of tlie gentleman to the object of it, Mr. S. said, the gentleman was right. He hail a par ticular object in view, which he did not mean to have concealed from the house, but which he did not think it necessary to express more distinctly than he had done in tlie resolution. The resolution was ordered to lie upon the table. On motion of Mr. Pindall, a committee ordered to be appointed to inquire into the ex pediency of providing by law for delivering up persons held to labor, or service, in any ot the states or territories, who shall escape into any- Oincr state or territory; and that tlie same com mittee have leave to report by bili. On motion of Mr. USiitmaii, the committee military affaire were instructed to inquire into the expediency of authorising the sale of such military scites owned by the United States, as have been found to be useless for military pur poses. On motion of Mr. Newton, the committee ap pointed to enquire whether it be expedient to make ar.y amendment in the laws which regulate the coins of the United States and foreign coins, were instructed to enquire also into the expe diency of fixing the standard of weights and measures. The engrossed bill providing for the claim M. Poircy, and the bill making provision for the claim of JI. De Vienne, were severally read third time, and passed, and sent to the Senate. ORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA. The house then resolved itself into a commit tee of the whole, Mr. Nelson in the chair; on Sir. Harrison’s bill to provide for the organization and discipline of the Militia. Mr. Bassett moved an amendment, as a substi tute to the bill, which consisted of upwards of twenty sections, embracing a system different from that of the bill. Mr. Harrison delivered a speech of considera ble length, in support of the bill, and on the im portance of Congress acting on the subject. Mr. Simkins followed, in a short speech, in which he earnestly impressed on the house the importance of acting on this subject. Mr. Bassett then spoke at some length in sup port of his amendment. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Bassett spoke alternate ly twice or thrice, in support of their respeetiv opinions. The question was at length taken on Mr. Bas "Mr. Edwards said he had no-objection, il the committee had asked for the infor matics, (though he still' thought it would have teen better had the information been specially called for by the house) to waive his motion for the present, with tlie reser vation of thought to renew it, if the ex pected information was not laid before the house. Mr. Hopkinson suggested that the in formation which had been required by the committee of foreign relations was limited to Amelia Island, and therefore did not embrace the principal part of the informa tion required by tlie resolution. Mr. lidwards said, if that were the case, he should certainly not waive his motion. If we were correctly informed by the news papers, there had been something like a government established at St. Marks, and at Pensacola, by the military authority, as well as at Amelia Island; and he wished to ascertain how far the arrangements of tlie military authority had been sanctioned by the executive. Vessels had cleared out and entered at Pensacola; he wished to ter the word “Resolved,■ r> the following .natter. “That the committee on military affairs lie instructed to prepare and report a bill to this house, prohibiting, in time of peace or in time of war with any Indian tribe or tribes only, the execution of any captive, taken by the army of the United Slates, without the approbation of such execution by the president. Resolved, That this house disapproves of the seizure of tlie posts of .St. .Mark and Pensacola, and the fortres; Harrancas, contrary to orders, and in vio lation of the constitution. Resolved, That the same committee bi also instructed to prepare ami reporta bill prohibiting the march of the aruiy of the United States, or any oilier corps thereof intoanv foreign territory without the previ ous authorization of congress, except it be ii the case of fresh pursuit of a defeated enc my of the United States, taking refuge within such foreign territory. Having submitted this motion, Mr. C proceeded to speak in support of tlios know whether it had been regarded in this branches of his proposition which lie had Mr- Netlon .Jre_: !v L-crire. ,|g£ ^considered this question a as, on bearing it sta- xct's proposed amendment, and decided in the negative. Mr. Harrison then suggesting that he had veral .intendments to offer to the bill, the com mittee rose, and obtained leave tositsigain. After refusing, by a vote of 54 to 50, to ad journ over to Monday, The House adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, January 18. Mr. Smith, of Maryland, from tlie com mittec of ways and means, reported a bill relative to the direct tax and internal du ties; and a bill suplementary to the act “for the prompt settlement ot' public ac counts;” which were twice reati and com milled. Mr. Poindexter, from the committee of public lands, who were instructed, by a re solution of the 7th ult. to enquire into the expediency of granting to each state one Imndrcd thousand acres of land, for the en dowment of a university in each state, made a report unfavorable to the. granting of said land, which was read and ordered to He on the table. The speker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of war, transmitting in formation in relation to the adjustment and layment of tlie claims of the friendly Creek Indians, in obedience tp the resolu tion of this house. The speaker also laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, transmitting sundry statements of miscel laneous ex]ienditures from the treasury, GOVERNMENT of FLORIDA. Mr. Edwards rose to offer a resolution calling for information in relation to the Kists, without the limits of the United States, now in the possession of tlie Unit ed States. The object of his motion was itself so plain as to need no elucidation. It would be recollected that the law of 1811 authourised tlie taking possession, on certain contingencies, of that part of Flori da east of the Perdido, and to establish a go- ernment therein. One object of the re solution was to ascertain how far, if at all, the law had been carried into effcctj&c. The resolution was in the following words: Resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to cause any information, not already communicated, to be laid before this- house, whether Amelia Island, St. Marks, and Pensacola, vet re main in the possession of the United States, and, if so, by what laws the inhabitants thereof are governed; whether articles im ported therein from foreign countries are subject to any and what duties, and by hat laws; ar.d whether the said duties are collected and how; whether vessels arriv ing in the Unifed States from Pensacola and Amelia Island, and in Pensacola and Amelia Island from the United States, re spectively, are considered anti treated as vessels from foreign countries. Mr. Holmes said, thatthe resolution em braced some objects which the committee of foreign relations had had under consi deration, that concerning Amelia Island, tor example; respecting which,these bad di rected him to make of the secretary of stale all the enquiries embraced in the resolu tion, ami more. That information might be expected to be soon received, and laid before the house. He therefore wished tlie gentleman to waive his motion for the pre sent respect as a foreign or domestic port. II civil ollicers, collectors, &c. had been ap pointed, he wished to obtain information by what tenure they held their offices, and also the nature of tneir accountability. If ultimate measures should be found neces sary, information would be wanted, with out which the house was groping in die dark. He had ho other object than to as certain, officially, die facts on diese sub- jects. Mr. Strother said, he never should offer a resolution calling for information to in struct this house in the discharge of its du ty, or that was necessary to enable them to ascertain the manner in which the exe cutive department had discharged the du ties assigned it by the constitution and aws of the country. The stability and ntegrity of the government depended up on the right to call for and obtain informa tion; but he objected to this resolution, in troduced by his friend from North Caroli na, because the information called for had been furnished this house, in that volumin ous documents, laid upon our table, upon the subject of the. Seminole war. Mr. _ S. said, if his honorable friend would examine the correspondence between general Jack son and the secretary of war, he would as certain that a government has been estab fished at Pensacola, and functionaries ap pointed to administer the government; s temporary government, confined to the necessary and legitimate purpose of protec tion to tne persons and property of tne peo pic inhabiting that region; a proceeding springing from necessity, and to terminate with it. Upon this ground he was opposed to the resolution. Mr. Storrs said, he hoped the house would agree to the resolution. Jfe wished to jenow whether the posts of Pensacola were goverened hy the laws of the United States, or bv those applicable to a conquer ed colony; whether tfiey were now ruled by the same laws as’ previously existed, or by whatever other laws. As it appeared, by what had fallen from the chairman of he committee of foreign relations (M; Holmes) that that subject was likely to come before congress, it was not enough that that committee should have the informa tion, but this house ought to have it for its guidance. In regard to the custom house, Se asked the gentleman from Massachu setts to point, out that part of the docu ments which instructed this house whether any duties were collected by the officersof the'United States at Pensacola or not; or any partof thedocumants which indicated who was the law officer, &c. &c. There had not, he said, been communicated a single paper which threw the least fight upon the subject He hoped, therefore, the resolve would be adopted. After some further observations from Mr. Strother, and tlie words “not already com municated” being inserted, on suggestion of Mr. Poindexter, as they stand in the re solution, it was agreed to without a divis ion. On motion of Mr. Storrs. Resolved, That a select committee be appointed to consider and report to this house whether any amendment may be ex pedient to the several laws now in force, providing for compensation to individuals for losses of property sustained during the late war with Great Britain, either by the public enemy, or in conseqence of impress- mfintsinto the service of the Uuited States, by order of the officers of the United States, or otherwise, not already touched upon. Mr. C. spoke about two hours. He was followed, on the opposite side,by Mr. Holmes, of Massachusetts, who had only concluded one branch of this subject; when, having given way at the request of a mem her— The committee agreed to rise; and leave being given to sit again, the amendment moved in committee was ordered to be printed. And the house adjourned. THE SEMINOLE WAR. The order of the day, on the report of the committee on military affairs respect ing the Seminole war, being announced.— The house then went into committee of the whole on the state of t(ie union, to whom that report was committed, Mr. Pitkin in the chair. There was some conversation previously about postponing the subject for a day or two; but the house by a majority of ten or fifteen votes: resolved to take it up. The report of the military committee was read through, concluding with the follow ing resolution: Resolved, That the house of representa- res of tlie United States disapproves the proceedings in the trial and execution of Alexander Arbuthnot and Robert C. Am- brister. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, took the floor i:i support of the report; and, having spoken some time in support of the resolution im mediately before the house, he was proceed ing to the other questions arising out of tlie Seminole war when— It was decidedcd by the chair, that the discussion must lie confined to the question immediately before the house: After a good deal of conversation on the question of the order of proceeding in this case, in which Messrs. Smyth, Cobb, Ciav, Poindexter, Tallmadgc.and Rhea took part, and in which a general disposition was manifested that the whole subject should be discussed, ar.d the difference of opinion was only as to the modes of getting at it, to obviate all difficulty on this subject— Mr. Cobb moved to amend the resolu tion before the committee, by inserting, af- The board of directors of the Bank of the- United States, it appears, immediately after the late elction of directors, proceed ed to the consideration of such measures as were calculated to curtail the expenses of the bank, & make its stock more produc tive than at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, as per last dividend. In consequence, it is announced that the salaries of the presi dent and cashier had been reduced 20 per cent. It is stated in the papers of New- Vork, that the salaries of the officers of the Branch in that city have been reduced some thirty per cent. We know the same rule has been applied to the officers of the bank in this city-; and we therefore presume the rule is general. What other measures have been taken, and what tlie report of the committee of congress may lead to, if any, we shall soon know. It appears that, before the contents of the bank report could be anticipated with any precision, the stock of the bank had been sold at Baltimore as low as 08!! It may fall still lower, but we are persuaded the depression will be only temporary; un less, what we do not anticipate, some mea sure may be adopted by congress more harsh than that proposed by the bill report ed by the bank committee.—National In lelligencer, 19th inst. The bill for the better organization of tlie courts of tlie United States, and for the appointment of circuit judges, finally passed the senate yesterday, bv a vote -of 22 to 14.—ib. The anticipated debate began yester day, on the subject of the conduct of the Seminole war: it will consume several da vs. The galleries, crowded almost to suffocation, gave evidence of the interest which the subject has excited. We shall commence the publication of the debate probably on Th tirsday next.—ib. A certificate of a pension was issued at the war department yesterday, in favor of Henry Francisco, of Whitehall, N. Y. ag ed one hundred and thirty years. W. H. Parker, esq. -a gentleman of that place, in whose statement full confidence can be f ilaced, says, that "Francisco has uniform- y stated, for forty years past, that he was a soldier at the coronation of Queen Ann; and it is generally believed here that he is at least 130 years of age: he is still able to walk; and retains his mental faculties.’ —ib. The following letter is from a source of great respectability; and the facts it con tains, so far as they are independent of opinion, may be fully relied on. It is ob viously from the peri of a warm friend of the present order of tilings in France.— Ana whether all our readers shall or not assent to the coloring which his ardent feel ings have given to circumstances, they will at least join him in wishing for his country all the happiness which he con siders present or in prospect for it.—ib. Extract of a letter from France, dated 5th No vember, 1818. You are not ignorant that the negoti ations at Aix-la-Chapelle, relative to France, are terminated, and in the most satisfactory manner. “The subjects of the deliberations b< tween the ministers of the five pow ers are not generally known, and no credit ought to be placed in the revelations that are to be found in certain continental newspa pers. It appears that an invariable spirit of moderation and justice has presided at all the deliberations of the congress; and I think that it may be boldly asserted, that at no time has there been seen in Europe more unanimous desire to maintain peace and secure gootj order. As for ourselves, heaven appears to bless us. Very soon we shall lose sight of the last foreign bayonet. Our crops of all kinds are excellent; the wines of this year are better perhaps than they ever were before; in a word, our agriculture presents the most favorable result, and our trade the most flattering prospect. Our foreign relations will now take a devclopement proportioned to our re sources and our power. Our internal politics are more calm every dav, and lose that warmth and tW acrimony* which our national character cannot long allow of, excent in the lowest classes of society: in the higher classes, education and & certain moderation, generally the fruit of good breeding, unites in ' some measure the most contradictory opinions and characters. It is true that the wisdom of the king is a great promoter of reconciliation between the parties. "You w ill here, uo doubt with a gee-*', deal of pleasure, of the testinio’iy of regard paid by two great Princes (tne king of Prussia ami the emperor of Russia) to our monarch. These two sovereigns came to Paris to pay a visit to the king. The king of Prussia remained a few days in Paris, but almost incognito. As to tne Emperor Alexander, he arrived on the 23th of Octo ber, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, dined with tlie king and his family, and, after a private conversation with his majesty, left Paris the same evening, having visited no- bod v but die king, and having received no body. “So characteristic a step and so friendly a visit, at the moment of tlie evacuation of Franqe by tlie allied troops, has produced, and was calculated to produce here, the most lively sensations.” The Maryland Censor, on the subject of our relations with Spain, has the following among other just and judicious remarks: “ ffoir long is th is war of words to be car ried on with a monarchy, alike destitute of virtue and resources, the.sinking victim of its own crimes; bankrupt and distracted at home, and despised throughout the worldd Yet swelling in insolence of words as it increases in physical imbecility and mo- ral corruption! iC7“Would Congress consult the wishes and the dignity of the nation, let them instruct the president to take permanent possession of tne Floridas, without further ado about the matter; and should Spain presume to bluster, let a ssv enty-four be sent to Cadiz, with a receipt in full, in favor of the petticoat embroid erer for all his robberies and spoliations, and forever thereafter treat him with si lent contempt.” A Genoa paper states, that on the 10th of September, Mr. Jones, the Americas consul general at Tripoli, went out to hunt with his secretary, the Banish Consul, and Janissary. Being separated from his com panions, he was attacked by three Moors of the admiral Mou-ra.t-Rais, who struck him several times with the butt ends of their muskets, knocked him down, and would have murdered him, had lit not been for the return of his companions. The consul was conveyed, covered with blood*. ! to the palace of the Pacha, who promised -very reparation that should be required* and then convoked all the consuls at his country house to consult witfe them. In the mean time, Mou-rat-Rais, who is an English renegado, and the private enemy of Mr. Jo->es, took refuge at the house of | the Briti. . consul, who granted him an asy lum, and refused to deliver him up to the Pacha. By the advice of the other consuls, Mourat-Rais was exiled, one of the Mo was sentenced to death, and of the tw<J others,one had his hands cut off;and the’ other received a bundled blows by bastina do. Mr. Jones transmitted information of i the circumstances to tin American consul at Tunis, who immediately sent off the American squadron then in that port. The appearance of the squadron before Tripoli j excited much surprize, but as the Amen- I can flag was still hoisted on the house of i the American consul, a parley was entered I into, and after several communications, the? American commander sent of!' a messen-J ger to the United States with a report ofl what happened. ‘ I ^ Thc foregoing afliiir will, I hope, have! cieiit effect on Mr. Monroe and thel gentlemen attached to the department ofl state, to satisfy them that the perilous ai-f tuation of tlie consuls in the Barbary states J demand their confidence, esteem, and re-' spect, and that a gratitude, commensurate with their sacrifices, a liberal construction of authority, and appropriations for sup port, together with an annual letter of thanks, will he forwarded to such officers in Barbary, who, like Mr. Jones, risks his life from the villauy of these assassins. I know Mourat Rais—be was born in Scot land, and is called Peter Lysle; he was mate of an English vessel in 1794, wheq Tripoli, and abandoned his faith. He i the principal cause of our war with T Ii, and we kept a sharp lookout for Jn a work of travels in the Barbarv stab,I which will be published ibis month”, I liael glanced at his character. He is a finish«l| villian; and if Jusef Pacha allows him return to Tripoli, it will be our duty demand him and land him where he' wi do no more harm.
