Mr. Crowninsbield l)*ervtl
that the House hai on the 3d in

tiie tr*tsurv to lay brfor thin* a
statament •) imports and *xports
from Gre-u Britain and the Unit

It tva* probable tlte secretary
would not be able to furnish a
sMteanent for the year 1803 ; but
that he could make it fw th
ve.irs 1103 and l!i!)4. M r C. sat'd
he had been anxious wheu this
sidtieet tnt before the House, to
hare received a stateav nt for the
year 1U )3. Great Uritaux seizes

ritig a period of peaett W xeth-r
this is a fact will be cL-cnlsd l>v
tlie ativtcmsnt he wish and to ob
tain, a* the year 1803 was a peri
od of peat . Mr. C. concluded
by moving a resolution directing
the secretary of the treasury to
Lav before that lltus* a like state
ment of axports aiftl import* for
the year I#()4, as was directed on
th : J instant, to bv furnished lor
the last two years.
The Ifouse immediately cn
xilvrcd this revelation &. agreed
to it.
Mr. T‘. Clay. The {jcntletmn
from Massachusetts having lul l
on the table a resolution mixing
out of the present state of our lo
rtigti relations, and as that suo
jeet is one on which I think theft
cannot bo to® much deliberation
heftwtt we act, or of whioil too
tnanv views cannot be taken, I
will take the liberty of submitting
some resedution* which I have
drawn up ami to which I a-k t!i:
attention oi the House, lu lb*
present slate of our rc lutsotis with
foreign powers, it appears tu ni*
that a system of commercial re
gulations mild and Vet firm, one
which can he cauied into per
manent effect without inuih m
convenieuce to ourselves, w ill Ik*
more effectual tlintt any tempora

as one in which we are likely to
