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
