HOUSE OF HEPHRSF.NT ATIVF.S,
, C/iaredoy, April 30, 1812.
MB. REED (of Massachusetts) present
ed a petition signed bv upward* of 450 Mer
chants, and others, of R iston, setting forth
that tbev had an immense amount ot proper
ty in the dominions of (treat llriudn, the safe
ty of which is jeopardized by the state of the
relations between the two countries, and pray
ing permission to draw their said property
from CSrrat-Hntain and iter dependencies un
d r cL provisions as shall be reasonable and
juit.
Mr. Heed having desired the Petition to be
read, the Cleric commenced reading it, and
proceeded on I'll he earner to that part of it
in which the Petitioners suggest fuels and ar
guments to shew that the Berlin and Milan
decrees are nat repealed, when
Mr. Wright (of Maryland) rose and said,
he hoped tits further reading of the Petition
would not be suffered tiiat it was an insult to
ti>c House and to the Government for the Pe
titioners to insist that these decrees were not
repeated when the Executive ot this country
,/wd declared they were.
The hpeak.tr said the reading of the Peti
tion hul been ca.led for and was ordered, as
was always done upon the request of any
member who was desirous of hearing a paper
read on which he was called to vote.
Mr Wright was proceeding to urge his ob-
IvCti’.n, whin the Speaker called him to tr
uer, aid declared he could not be sufien-d to
interrupt the reading of the Petition Mr.
Jtccd said if the gentleman would be patient
for ufcWJI) mutes he tvo dd find that the Pet i
ticn contained nothing exceptionable. At
all events he would not consent to wave the
reading'. M • Wright was still proceeding,
when on a general cry of “ Order ” .Mr. I {'right
sat down, l-nd the reading was finished. Mr.
need moved that the Petition be referred to
a select commit tec.
pir. liar.i (of Tennessee) moved that it be
-postponed until the -Hit day of July next'!
mY.Nxw.os, (of Virginia) said that as the

it was a very extraordinary circumstance lor
these j-eirtUmen to express so much iudigna

M; LIN'C (j! ... C.) 5..,d he .pprehended
‘-but the gentleman f.oin I'-nnsvlWniu was
not in order, that he had appealed to the c -n- 1
did part of tl-.n majority, implying that the
rest were deficient in cando,. Exception was
also taken to tl.c form “ falsity,” a:, ,mp) t ing
such :i charge .-gainsl the president. ’ a
Tin* Speaker said, that lie not only consi
dered the gentlcnii.n from Pennsylvanii. out
of oi i-lir in the appeal he had made, but in the
general w onc of ins argument j that t!a
(juestiolt Ixfo e the house Was not wlictliei.-
the Berlin and Milan ilmtccm were or wen
not repealed, but simply v. lfethei- this petition
should be postponed to the 4th day of July
next As to the term “ falsity,” the Speaker
said he did not think it a breach of order-
That he did not consider it us directly reflect
ing on the executive branch of the govern
ment, hut merely as a hypothetical statement
of a case that might occur.
Mr. MILNOII said he regretted that the
tendency of his remarks on the decrees was
not perceived by the chair, that lie had mani
fested no disposition to enter into an elabo
rate discussion of the question of their repeal,
but he trusted that it v as in order for him to
suggest doubts as to the fact, for the purpose
of shewing that it was a proper subject for
the present consideration of this house, and
ought not to be postponed. He presumed he
had a right to refer to tlie recent depredations
upon our commerce by French vessels of war,
to strengthen those doubts, and to shew that
even if the grounds on which tlie executive
had founded Ids opinion, were at the lime ap
parently correct, these occurrences tended to
shew that opinion to be a mistaken one. Tlie
subject is properly brought under our notice
by the petitioners, it is connected with the
prayer they make, and it is trifling with their
complaints to postpone a consideration of them
to a distant day.
‘Fite Speaker said the gentleman from Penn
sylvania was out of order, that the epithet
“ trifling” could not. be applied to a motion
made by any member.
Mr. MILXOK said h felt great regret at
this suggestion of the chair, because it filled
him w ith apprehensions, lest in addition to
the abridgment and virtual destruction of tlie
l ight of petitioning for a redress of grievan
ces, the equally sacred right of free debate
upon the floor of that house would ere long
be endangered Sir, lam sorry to be compel
l and to join in the gloomy anticipations of a
respectable gentleman yesterday (Mr. Kan
dolph.) 1 dread, lest the extreme sensibility
at any suggestion against the measures of tlie
gentlemen who compose the majority in this
house shall induce a praet.ee of continual in
terruption, ami so much narrow to the mino
rity tlie sphere of discussion, as virtually to
subject them to entile silence. The result
win be such a prostration of the free princi
ples of our government as i trust no gentle
man would anticipate with pleasure, nor if he
knew it, be a direct agent in effecting. Mr.
M. said he must still be permitted to ask,
wl.y postpone the consideration of this peti
tion to the 4th day of July next ? lias it unv
connection with the Embargo which expires
about iliat time ? Can any reason be given
why the distant time proposed will he niore
propcf for taking up the business than lehe
present ? tl” said he was constrained to re
peat that the clftft of th motion before the
house was to trifle with the SuHeringk of the
P'-tbioneis.
‘i'he Speaker here interrupted Mr. Milnor
with great warmth, declaring it was highly
improper in hint to repeat an expression which
the t l.air hr and pronounced to be out of order,
as hr, (Mr. M.) bad nol chosen to appeal from
die decision.
Mr. MILNOR proceeded. I have scrupu
-1 it-lv avoided arraigning the motives of the
I roposcr of this motion or any other member.
I have spck.n of the effect of the course pro
posed. I know however, Sir, your powers
aid these of the majority too well not to feel
the necessity of acquiescing in this interposi
tion of .four r-uthoritv ; and, therefore, al
though perfectly satisfied that I have made
no obst nation inconsistent with a just free
. dom of debate, the rules of decorum, or par
| list unitary usage, 1 bow in submission to the
mandate of the chair. I hope, however, 1
may be pi rmitted to repeat, as an impressive
reason for looking into the subject of this pe
tition now, and as an argument against its
postponement, that the recent burning of our
vessels upon the ocean furnishes an evidence
of the existence of the Trench decrees, which
having happened sbxe the president’s atser
tion of their repeal, could not have entered
into his consideration of the question, and of
course it can involve no possible disrespect
towards him tn examine it with this addition
al evidence. But 1 was truly astonished ut
the want of recollection manifested bv the
honorable Chairman of the Committee of
Commerce and Manufactures (Mr. Newton.)
He asserted that we had no evidence of these
atrocities, except protests made before nota
ries public, bv captains and mates of vessels,
and that everybody k ew how easily they
were made. Now though the honorable gen
tieimm might find so little difficulty in iuo
posingom- own citizens capable of fabricating
llu sc narratives, and supporting them by pt-(-
jury, f -should have imagined, if he had re-eol
itcu-tl the documents produced not long
since to this house, he would have given tr(-
c!it to the original authenticated certificate
signed by the comma],dant,of the squadron of
French ships, by which ours wt-rc burnt, de
claring that these outrages were committed
by order of the minister of marine of France.
1 have no hesitation in believing the fact.
After a few observations -Mr. M.concluded
l.y expressing his hope that the House would
cei'tscr.t to a reference of the Petition as pro
jKist'd by the Gontkfflan from tsnchvwttt
Mr, New TUX made a few additional remarks
Mr. VutßEitT (of Massachusetts) spoke in
v. of a reference—H - said he peisouallv
knew many of the petitioners, that tla \ were
highly respect.-bir, ami he knew many cf them
to be as warm friends to the Administration
•is ary gentleman ill that House, and that it
ought not to be postponed.
Mr Phti said, that as he bund several of
his fiends against postponement he would
withdraw bis motion.
Mr. La-cock, (of Pennsylvania) mo'-t-t! to

vvl.ole, who had petitions of a similar nature

A PLAIN, UNVARNISHF.I) TALE OF
AN AMERICAN SAILOR.
THE subscriber, a native of Gor
ham, in the county of Cumberland,
some time in the month of Dee. ISto,
sailed fro at Hampton Hoads in the
ship Elfcza of Philadelphia, Philip
Crandall , of Portland, master, w ith a
cargo of Flour and AVheat bound for
Cadiz. On the Bth of Jan. 1811, a
bout 4 le allies from St. Lucar, was ta
ken by a French privateer of two t'uus
and 30 ar 40 men, and earried into St.
Lucar, j ,nd the officers and men thrown
into prison, where we remained 13
days mi Jer pretence of heiut* on quar
antine-—from thence we were marched
to St. Maria, [about 7 leagues distance]
where we were again immured in a
solitary prison and” continued in it 13
day s, when Captain Crandall and his
mate had the liberty of the town, or as
they call it a parole of honor ; and the
sailors were marched back to St. Lu
car, and imprisoned in the townjao), a
solitary wet prison, with nothing but
stones to sleep upon.—After remaining
in our new habitation three days we
were conducted cn board a sloop, up
the river to Seville, and depssited in a
prison with about ICO Spanish prison
ers—where we remained faring the
same as prisoners of war, until the first
of April; when we were joined by a
bout 13C0 American, English, Portu
guese and Spanish prisoners, and
mart-lied under the direction of a guard
of about 1000 French troops from Bay
onne.—Pi ev ions to our commencing
the march w e were robbed of our shoes
—1 had a puir which 1 had reserved
for the journey, and on the soldiers or
dering me to puil them off, and my re
fusing, he stooped down with a view cf
doing it himself, and on my giving him
a blow, another of the guard tame up
and gave a thrust with his bayonet
that would have pierced my body had
l not fended it off, but as it was, gave
me a mark that will long induce me to
remember them. We commenced our
journey under (his escort, barefoot, Oil
the first of April, and suffered but little
inconvenience on the first day ; but on
the second our fact began to blister and
the skin tare oil’ from them—so that
every step we took left the imprint
with the blood from our feet. Our
food was jackass’ flesh and bread made
of bran, and barely enough of that to
sustain life.—The fatigue, and sore
ness of our feet was so distressing, that
numbers failed daily-—as soon as anv
one became unable to pursue the march
he was shot. 1 have known 25 per
sons in this enfeebled situation to be
shot dead in cue day. Between 4 and
500 were shot on the march. We con
tinued our march from the Ist of April
to the 9th of June [a term of “0 days.]
As we adt anced, our numbers were
augmented to about 3000, who had
joined us in the different towns we had
passed through, and the guard increas
ed to about 2000 Owing to our fre
quently being interrupted by the Span
ish Patriots, vve were obliged to return
to the place we had set cut fiom a
week previous. Although the dis
tance from Seville to Bay onne is about
830 miles, yet it was judged that vve
had marched as much as 1500 miles by
marching and counter-marching. On
the Bth of June, wc arrived at Sego
via. and were placed in the prison
[said to be the largest in Spain \ for 5
days ? but on the night of the 9th of
June, 1 1 Englishmen and myself found
means to break out of prison, and lower
ed ourselves by the help Gs a rug which
vve tore in strips end tied together into
n rope, cut of a window into the gar
den—where vve found a gardner, who
very generously conducted us not only
through the walls of the garden, but
also out of the city. About a quarter
of a mile from the city is a Lake,
which we were obliged to ford and
svvin* in order to make our escape to
the Spanish army. \V“ gained the
opposite shore about day-break the
next morning [being in the water tbord
3 ali J an half hours.] Alt!,dish t h e
risk and fatigue of fording the lake
was so great, yet it was completed
without the loss ( . ( pups-s cf us. Af
ter swimming until we became exhaus
ted; vve laid to, oil our back?, until vve
got rested—one man got exhausted a
bout a quarter of a mile from the
shore, hut two of us returned and as
sisted htiq r.fhrre., Naked huiitrary
and sore vve traveled oVt r a. ifoogh hi'lj
nlaee a distance of about 5 miles, to a
place occupied by Spanish troops,
where we were met by- the General".*
guard, conducted to their camp, cloth
ed, atid in every other respect hospi
tably treated.
Owing to their inability to send
to the Commander in Chief for a pass
port earlier, we remained with tins
Spanish forte marching from place to
place, until about the middle of Au
gust, when vve obtained a passport ami
went to Valencia where the American
consul resides, who sent me to Alieant.
whore I remained about six weeks, at
the expense of Mr. Montgomery, the
American Consul. There being no
American vessel at that place, bound
to the Edited States, I shipped on
board the English brig Oak, fur New
foundland, where vve arrived some
time in December; but no opportunity
presenting to enable me to get a passage
from thence to the United States, I a
gain shipped on board the English brig
Favorite, bound to the \V. Indies,
where we arrived about the 12th ol’
Fcbruury—and where in twO or three
day s after, an English press gang from
the Possum brig of war, came on board
and pressed me into his Majesty's ser
vice. I remained with them about two
hours, when (be master came on board,
to whom I shewed my protection, lie
immediately liberated me, and severe
ly repreuialided his under oflicers for
pressing men with protections, and
preremptorily ferhid their doing it
hereafter. 1 shortly after fell in with
L'apt. Peter Sawyer, in the brig Kuby,
of Portland,with whom J took passage
and arrived there on the 15th inst.
1 here were about thirty Ameri
cans with us at tlie time vve escaped

Among them were, John Hill, Sc John

lantic was from England, or that there
w ere any Englishmen on board, or that
she sailed under coin oy. That the de
ponent and said Clark possitively re
fused to state any thing but the truth.
And the deponent further saith, that
they then threatened them, and finding
they still refused to answer as they
wished, tl e guards began beating them
with their sabres, and told them they
should be sent on board a ship of war
and punished: That after beating them
for some time, the deponent and said
Clark were put into a dungeon under
ground, and kept there about eight
hours, from whence they were again
taken, and conducted to prison. All
this time they were kept without vict
uals or drink. That two days after
