We received by last evening's mail tellers from our correp eondems a. Wafl.ington en. doling the report of .he comniiiiee on foreign rela tions. The reporl >s 100 lengthy for this day s paper hut from the following re marks of »he committee to oether with the relolutions Submitted.to the house for confideraiion,the reader may form a tolerable eltimate of its geneial charatler 9 and o! the teropei of our reprefenta lives. We (hall publish this interesting and comprehensive report entire in our next paper. • Per R ep. Onaqueftionof such diffr cully, involving the molt irn. portant interests of the union, and which has not perhaps, un til lately, been fufficiemly con fideredi your committee think the House alone competent to pronounce a decisive opinion ; and they have, in this report, confined themselves to an ex </ / - such introductory refoliitions, a* will be equally applicable to either alternative. The fir (t of these, being merely declaratory of a determination not to sub mit to foreign aggreflions, may, perhaps, at fir ft view appear Superfluous. It is however, he. Iteved hy the committee, that a pledge by the representatives of the nation, that they will not abandon its eflential rights, will not at this critical moment be unacceptable. The misappre hensions which seem to have exiled, and the mifteprefenta t|(,ns which have been circulated .tefpeftiug the state of our fo reign relations, render also such declaration expedient. Audit “yn« be ulelefs that every foreign nation should under, ■land that its ago re ftions never 1 o juflified or encouraged \ «ny difeription of American enizens. For the question for every citizen now is, whether will rally round the govern. n>ent of his choice, or en lift un derforeign banners? Whether owill be for his country, or his country ? • The committee respectfully 'ubmit the following resolutions: I • Retired, That the U.
