PROSPECT U S
or THE
AMERICAN PATRIOT.
f THE principles which this PAPER v,!l
‘support, are designated by its name.—Th v
are principles founded upon an imin ! .able ba
sis, which misrepresentation m,y for a wink
obscure, but cannot permanently alfoct • prin.
ciples stamped by eternal experience, ..pprov
ed by the plainest dictates ot com; .ou sense,
and recognised and practiced by \* AtdHNtv-
TON and HAMILTON. Tuej advocate the
honor of our conn ry, not by pi-.itia p-.tu.mo
ay, commercial restrictions, and ridiculous
Rodomontade ; but bv manly, adequate and
efficient measures.—They cherish Agricul
ture, and foster Manufactures, not by maim
ing and crushing Commerce, but by extending
towards it a just and liberal pro’eetion.—Tin
Operation of llicse principles nave rendered our
country prosperous; and under their intiucncc
ererv branch of society’ were successfully en
gaged in their various occupations.—Our
countrymen received an invigorating encour
agement front the Correct a-.tu honorable mea
sures of Governnuntadmiu.sUTc iy-V. Ys-il-
CfUTON—their purdv were develop. <i, and
by appreciating a.erri, wealth and its conse
quent comforts and enjoy menu, honor and
respect with their attending benefits, recom
pensed the justness of their choice of Nation
-41 Rulers.—The same cause, the exercise of
the same principles, will produce similar’ ef
fects. To assist’tfte restoration of this cause
will be a leading object with this Paper.—ln
promoting this desirable end; mid*ra:ion, c . i
<hr and truth wril be rigidly adhered to, and
Ml private character inviolably held sacred,
j THIS Paper will comment up-m with unre
served liberality, public in n and public mea
sures, and will endeavor to place in a clear
point of view, the misconduct of the public
servants in attempting to cajole, deceive and

DEBATE
In the House of Representatives , of the
U. Slates , in secret session.
Wednesday April 1
(Furnished fir the Philadelphia Register h?
a member of Congress.)
[We have been favored hy >i friend at Wash
ington, a member of corkress, with the fol
lowing sketch of the dAate on the Embar
go message.]
Mr. PORTER, Chairman of the CommitteC
of Foreign Relations, then moved that tilt;
message la- refined to said committee,-which
was agreed t i It Was th.-n observed bv Mr.
P. that the committee had been informed that
such a message would be received from the
president on that dayand that they were rca*
dy to report a bill for ‘aying an embargo, hut
they wish first to i t iit-c .v '..ort time. Mr.
Porter very soon aftyr it turned-to the hot.sej
and asked leave to introduce a biff which was
granted, ami read die first lih.l second time,
after which it was ctnnniiUcd to a committee
of the whole house, and made the order of the
day for this day. The house resolved itself
m committee of the whole on the same, Mr.
liassett in the chair. The bill Was read
through by the chaiunan.
Mr. BOYD then moved to amend it by
striking ettt of the first section <>o days, and
inset 1 120 days. Ifi said a gentleman dcclar*
ed the measure* to be a precursor to war,
The time will be much U.o short for the grot
amount of American property now abroad to
return; the motion was negatived.
Mr SEYBERT viewed the subject as of
vast importance j he considered that the pro
positions came to the house in a very ques
tionable shape ; he wanted information, and
he called upon the Committee of Foreign Re
lations to suv whether it is to be considered
a pence measure, or a precursor to War ?
Mr tiRCNDY (onr of the committee) said
he was willing to answer tire wry pioper in.
qnirv of the gentleman from Pennsylvania j,
(Mr” Sethi rt),ihat he v.mici'Etands it ass War
measure, and it is meant that it shall lead di
rectly to i? ; (hat with any other view there
can he no propriety in it j as a peace measure
he hud no idea the president Would have re.
commended it, nor v/otild the committee have
agreed to it. Re hoped the gentleman from
Pennsylvania Would now be satisfied, and pre
pare his mind to vole for it
Mr. M‘KEE obj- ctvd to the last section, o:i
account of the penalties which it proposed,
which he considered altog- flier unimportant
as H is to be a. pre cursor of war, it being
mriwlr pfecuttHonary affd lor a sliort period,
tie made some other inquiries respecting the
section and why such provisions wi re in it.
Mr. POUTER said tin;bill was drafted ac
cording to the wishes and directions of the
secretary of the treasury,
Mr. STOW, (of New-York) said, the soli J
jeet before the committee ought to be consi
dered of very great importance. If, as some
gentlemen say, it is a precursor of war, there’
were some very serious questions to he asked
—Whut is the situation of our fortresses r
What is the situation of our country gem-ral
ly ? He would answer, they arc defenceless,
particularly the fortifications of New-York,
which are unmanned and unarmed. He said
tiiis fact appeared by a letter now in posses
sion of a member of the bouse, which has very
lately been received from .fudge Livingston
of New-York, Mr. Stow said, that to try the
question whetht r we will now lay an embar -
go, lie moved that the first section of the bill
be stricken out. _
Mr. CLAY, (the speaker) then warmly ex
pressed his satisfaction and full approbation
of the message, and the proposition now be
fore the committee, he appiovt and of it bocausKt
it is to be viewed as a direct precursor to
war. He did not wjsh upon tins occasion to
hear of the ©pin.on of Brock hoist Livingston
or am, otht-i man. No gentleman can ques
tion the propriety of tbe proposition. Gen
tlemen who said so much about .the want of
preparations are not for war. He considered
this as a war m.casur-, and as such he should
discuss it. Sir, fid Mr. C. after the pledges
we have made, and die stand we have taken,
are we now to cover ourselves with shame
and indchble disgrace by red eating from die
measures and ground we have taken. He
fhen stated our measures, our pledges, and
the (Teat injuries and abuses we hav; lycc-w.
ed. He sa.d vvliat would disgrace ui’ individ
ual under certain ciiconufonces. would disl
grace a nation. And what would you think
cf one individual who had thus conducted to
another and should tin n retreat. lit did not
think we were upon this occasion in the least
embarrassed bv the conduct, of France in
burning our vessels, that may be a subject of
future consideration. We have complete evi
dence as to the enemy we have selected, as
weak and imbecile as we are, he would com
bine France if necessary. He said, there t.vs
no intrinsic difficulty or terror except what
arises from the novelty. Where are we to
come in contact with our enemy ? On our
own continent. If gentlemen please to call
these sentiments quixotic, he would say he
pitied them for their sense of honor. We
know no pains have been spared to viliify the
government. If we now proceed, we shall be
supported by the people. Many of our peo
ple have not believed that war is to lake
place. They have been wilfully blinded,
lie was willing to give them further notice,
U remains lor us to sav whether we will
shrink or follow up the patriotic conduct of
the ©resident. As an American and a mem
ber of this house, tie foil a pr: :le that the ex
ecutive had recommended this measure.
Mr RANDOLPH said be was so knpi't P
sc-d with the importance of the subject and
the solemnity of the occasion, that he cou.d
not be silent. Sir, s .:'l Mr. K. ive ,aie now in
conclave; the eyes of the surrounding world
are not upon us. Weave shut up Ir-rs firm
the light of heaven ; but the cv * of God ‘cr.
upnu us. lie knows the spirit of cev radios.
Shall we deliberate upon this subjict with jl C
spirit of sobriety and candor, or with t. at
spirit which has too often character ,cd oi i ,
(i'iscuss,ons upon occasions Kite the pa seiu/
We ought to realise, that v.e r.ve in the {f
