The fpeaker laid before the houfe the following letter, which was read : Wajhington, April 19, 1810. Sir—Alter a tedious pafl'age from New-Orleans I arrived at Baltimore on the 16th inltant, and reached this city the next day. My abfence has been ne- ccffarily protrafted by the (elec tion of papers from a mafs of twenty years accumulation, for the ellablifhment of fafts, to re fute the multifarious and diverfi fied calumnies by which I have been'affailed. I now prefent myfeif to the re- prel'entative body of the nation, the guardians of the public weal and the protestors ot individual rights, toexprefs my earned de file that they may conffitute foine impartial tribunal which may be governed with ftriftnefs by the principles of the confliiu- tion and ihe laws of evidence, to inveftigate the conduit of my whole life, civil and military, whereby juflice may be done and my unexampled perfection be terminated. Iavtr my innccence of the foul offences which are imputed to me 2nd declare my ability to fupport it before any unprejudi ced court. Through you, fir, I appeal to iny country, 5c I claim that right which is not refufed to the mod profligate—the right of confronting my accufers. The representatives of the people will and that I have never deceived her; difclaimiug at the fame time all advantages to be derived from any aft or claule of liinita tion. But as this has been the thea tre of iny command, generally, lor eleven yeai*s pa(t, as my com panions in fervice and the evi dence of my conduft, (many of whom have retired to the walks of private life) are now in this country, it will be impoffible fol iated poffibility by inltrufting Mr. Erlkine to procure a certain Itipulalioii from the Ameiieau government which the Ameri can conllitution did not allow the executive* to grant." This lli- pulation was, that th<* non-inter, courfe aft fhould be eniorcetl againft France, congrefs not fet- ting—and { s defcri'ied ax prepolterous as if a foreign power treated with England dur- ing the recefs of parliament, point, the teftimony neceflary to rebut the fidions or faifhoods of my enemies, or to illuftrate my humble ftrvices as a public offi cer: I therefore hope the requeft may no: be deemed an unreafon- able one, that the enquiry or court martial fhould be held at fotne military poft within this territory ; the more particularly as the main body of the army is here, and a fuitable court can be formed with more convenience me to command, at any diftant fhould demand that his majelly fhould bind himfelf to the levy ing a certain tax upon his Tub- jefts. But the non-intercourse aft. if we recolleft right, gave to the prefidenf the power, ever* when the congrefs was not fit ting, to remove the operation from one of the belligerents, if he repealed his obnoxious or ders, and to continue it towards the other, if he did not. And this Mr. Eifkine fays in his dif. patch of the 20th April—for to individuals who may compofe ! alluding to the aft he ftates, that it, and with the Ids expence to the public.

Sir—Having received infor mation that certain imputations have been alledged againft me by the late captain George Peter and certain fubalterns in office, which are calculated to affeft my charafter as a military officer, it is my earnelt defire that a court of enquiry fhould be or dered to examine into my con duft from the commencement of my military fervice, with injunc tions to report an opinion. Or fhould my enemies have been hardy enough to prefer formal charges againft me, which are deemed worthy of invefligation, that an arreft may enfue, and a general court martial be appoint ed for my trial. In making this requeft, I am moved by a confcioulnefs of my integrity ; by a iacred regard to my charafter, and the felf-con- viftion that I have ferved my country with seal and fidelity, material will be found in our paper of to day -—They do not in ihe lealt change the opinion we have before expreffed, that our government afted with wife and found policy in difavowing Mr. Erfkine* s arrangement, and that Mr. Erfkine neither abided by the letter or the Ipirit of his inflruftions. One of our co temporaries, however, has laid down a curious ground of de fence for Mr. Erfkine. Beeaufe Mr. Canning had, in one of his difpatches, made a general de the I: th feftion provided for fui h a contingent propofrtion. Ihe reading Mr. Canning’s difpatches laid before the houl'c yefterday, exalts his reputation in our eyes.
