Mites which they had given, lie up-

question. On# word more. Who are
memorialists? In what light must nr.
them? In the ch.us*ter which
' ,v profess—in that w hich they assume.—
f-J, you, said Mr. A. receive a paper which
r se people present to you, and fashion it
inline to your conceptions, and not nc-
,r.iinc to theirs? Must you not pursue the
eirse, if you do not receive it as offered, of
cling it altogether, as suggested hy the
jjjhuiim from Onio? His honorable col-
j . n ji> had said that the conduct of this house
towards Missouri equalled the tyrannous
feedings of tile liritish Parliament to-
wards this rountry. Mr. A. said, it not only
(.quailed, hut went beyond it. If, said he,
Vl ,ii can change the character of the memo-
j wlisis, I should like to know whether you
cannot likewise alter their prayer, U make
it unlike the prayer they intended? And
v.-auld any man say that this house could
rrceiva a petition from any quarter, & make
ivliat it was not intended to he ?
Mr, AsncitsoN said, his friends, lie ap
prehended, would, i« the course they were
noi/pursuing, find themselves in the situati
on in which man are very apt to ha when
Kiev net under the iullu.^ee of passion ra-
ftlier than of reason—in tljc wrong. It is al
ways wrong to fight where von caWnot but
(nstnin defeat. It is nltvqi^ Wrong fora mi
nority to irritfta a majoi<ty-^ind this inoti-
nti could have no other effect hut to irritate.
It is the essence of detemapRtion tliat it
arose something. But the vote on this rao-
tim Would prove nothing. IVottiing would
K> gamed hy it, ami nothing sAiuld be lost,
flow can that be substance, iv jieii, whether
lest nr won, means nothing ? No ingenuity
rouhi make of it any thing but a matter of
words. w ^
As to the subject of tile main question,
not now presented, no man could feel more
anxiety than he—no man’s mind was more
excited, by day and hy night, on that sub
ject. By conciliation, said he, we may suc
ceed in ultimately procuring what I consi
der a correct decision on it: by exasperati
on ,v " are sore to fail. I deny, said he, that
the vote which lias just been taken proves
that Missouri I] nut a state. It proves noth
ing else but that, in the opinion of tho.m who
Toted against the amendment, tinjgiesmpli-
on in the Journal is suflicientand intelligible.
Mr. A. deprecated all attempts to exasperate
the in ijtfrity as injudicious and impolitic—
it was not by such a course that the object
of the friend* of .Missouri could he attained,
Mr. 15\iipouit assured the gentleman from venience ol the VV est-Indiu colonists.
, , , —.reason!—He
phired of gentlemen to pause before they
finally pronounced a decision which would
be^crowned with such terrible results.
The question being taken on the motion
to insert the Words “ the territory of" before
the wordMissouri’’—in the clause of the
Journal first above recited, was decided hy

I i»t; whether their cargoes are intended
for the consumption of the United Slates
and to lie introduced within the territo
ries of the same, in evasion of the laws ;
and what lurtlicr provision he deems ne
cessary to be made, hi law, for the more
cfiectu.il collection of the revenue on the
southern frontier,” ! have the honor to
state that, two vessels under the French
ting have arrived iri the river St. Mary’s
since the 1st day of July, Ifiiio ; and that
several others were daily expected at the
date of the last communications from that

i. t been ascertained. Their cargoes
no doubt is entertained that thev were
intended fur the consumption of the Uni

t lie ir territories, in evasion of the reve

Information Ins been recently receiv

tlemen were not disposed to express any o-
pinion oo this subject, the proper course
won! I bo to propose an indefinite postpone

the proposed amendment, no rr »*on salis-
factory to him could h • assigned for voting
against it, except that Missou(i is not in fact

and yet, by the erasure of the words “ with
in the ssiu state,” their memorial was m ute
to bear that construction. This observation
Mr. B. made, to shew that this was nut a
mere dispute about words. With regard to
the*piesiion before the house, ho thought it
one of considerable importance. If nothing
had been done to the Journal—if it had fol-
* lowed the recital of the memorial, there
would have been some pUusibtlitV in the re
mark tint it was uniaipoftaut. But, by the
alterations which had been made, » new de
scription had been given to the memorial
and the decision of the bouse had the ofTt'cl
of expressing a determination to get rid ol
the description which the raemoflaUts gave
to themselves and to their memorial,
With regard to the precedent, Mr. B. vnd,
if the Journal were permitted to stand in its
present shape, it would afford a much strong
er precedent than many which are introduc

RECORDER.
.Mh.LuOGKVtf LK, Tuesday, Ffbauarv <».
The uncertainty of the final result of
the negotiations which have been car
ried on for the acquisition of tho Floii-
das, is understood to be the sole cause
why those establishments have not al
ready been made. Should the conven
tion for the cession of those provinces
to the United Slates he ratified by the
King of Spain, tho intended scene of ope
ration will be changed, without chang
ing, or in any degieo weakening, the
inolives which originally suggested the
idea ot such est iblishments.
The supply of the West-In Jia hlandv,
from the United State-, with articl is of
indispensable necessity, without the in
tervention of American navigation, will
continue to be the object of unceasing
exertion. l:i the event of the occopa-
iioii of the Florida* hy tho United States,
the depositories necessary to effect that
object will, probably, bo transferred to
the uninhabited shores of Rio Gulf of
Mexico west of the boundary of the Uni
ted Slides. In (hut «' s»\ the object
of an alablislunent nfth.it nature will he
iinrc namfott, whilst the facilities it will
illord of evading the laws will be less
than Uose noiv contemplate.!. It is for
the vfisdom of Congress to determine,
how Ur a permission on the part of a
foreign governmet, to make surli es-
tablisiment? within its territories, ior the
inmi'esi purpose of evading the laws of
the Inion, and of corrupting its inhabi
tant!) will juitify the adoption of roea-
«orw necc sary to repress the evil, but
vvhif), at the same tune, may be con-
sidetd an invasion ol the lights of jit*
risdttion and territory of such nation.—
It improbable that the cstahltchmcn! a
slept of foreign articles on the uninhabi
ted hore* of the gulf of Mexico, within
thelerritoriel of Spain, would become
thejiabitu d resort cf smugglers and pi
rate, from whence a contraband trade
of*e worst description would be nt-
teipted to be earned on with the United
Slips. The establishment of two or
Hide mi'.litary posts on the Sabine, and
oniie lied rvior, and the live and vi-
gilrt exertions of the revenue cutters
entloyed in the gulf of .Mexico, might,
ini great degree, repro.s the ellnrts
wjch would lie made to introduce, from

l[s’ As it is now uenrlv certain that KluriJa
will become very soon n portion of this Repub
lic, everything relating lo Its climate, soil anJ
productions, and such ns it is capable of pro*
»uting, must be interesting; to our citizens.—
Cnttrtaining this belief, we have copied into
our paper of to-day a description of the coun
try by Bernard Roir\ans t attached to 14 Vulntyt
yttu } ' % £tr. As we have not seen it published in
any periodical work, aud the book from which
it is taken is scarce, particularly in this part uf
tire country, it will hare novelty as well as me
rit to recommend it. Although written about
half a century ago, we are much deceived if
this be not the mod scientific and satiifuctory
account which has yet reached ns of that Ter
ritory, particularly of the part within the pe
ninsula. Situated in a i lim^to where inny be
raised many articles wbicti cannot be produced
within the present limits of Ihe United Stutcs,
such as Cotlee, Cocoa, 6ic. ra.iy wo not hope
from its acquisition an iucrca.-e of the number
of valuable products from our soil, for home
consumption and e.\poituliwi ? May we not
flatter our clrea wiib the anticipation, neither
vain nor improbable, (hut Coffee, now used so
generally as to have become rather n necessary
of life than a luxury, ami of which we fmpprt
such prodigious quantities, may lie cultivated
-o-rm tbnehenreto such extent in Florida, as to
supply the home consumption and beeorue a
profitable article of export? Who that has
vflHi-V* I till* of ov»*nts will venture to
predict, that American Coffee, and other arti
cles not yet numbered umonj our products,
may not become conspicuous staple producti
ons, l.ke tobacco,cotton, rice upd sugar? Some
of these, even within the memory of persons
yet young enough lo muke experiment of Cot-
fee and Cocoa, were not thought of as objects
of exportation. In tho mean time, the cultiva
tion ol InJi^o among us has Uouiishcd aud pas
