The report of the Connnitta on this sub ject dechups, that there wore placed in the hands of the above named persons 090 blank grants—that the number of 230 on ly have, been accounted for, and that the remaining grants said commissioners re fuse to return or account for, although positively required so to do by the Govern or—that there is still in the hands of the said commissioners tlic sum of $8731 90 received be the'said commissioners arising by tlie sale of the fractions which have been accounted for, whie.li sum said com missioners refuse to pay in tlio Trcasu rv —that the bond of Thomas M‘ Adams, and Benj.

A Commerce liable to such risks cannot lie prosecuted, merchants will be unwilling to expose their property, and seamen will not be willing to jeopardize their lives. jjSP We have thus briefly stated the evils which threaten not only our direct trade to Cuba, but also ouy commerce to cyory part of the Gulf of Mexico; it is not too much to say that- they are too grent to bo endured; nnd confiding in the wisdotn fttid justice of your Honorable Body, we pray that suitable and effectual measures may be speedily devised to remove them. Wc would respectfully submit to the consideration of Congress whether it would not be expedient that a law should bo passed authorising merchant vessels to arm for their own protection, under such regulations, ami with such rules for their government as may appe.ar necessary,and which may nvoid the danger of commit ting tlic peace of the nation to the discre tion of individuals—and that tho squadron on the ( 'uba station should be reinforced, that dccoy-vcssels should be employed, and flint tlic ships of war bo furnished with additional launches and boats calculated to puT-sue the pirates, into their retreats and fastnesses. Wc would further suggest, that the President of the U. States be requested to make suitable remonstrances to tho gov ernment of Spain, nnd to the authorities of Cuba, relative to the piracies Committed on American vessels, and tho murder of their crews, by pbrsons issuing from tho shores of that Island, and to state mostex- plicitly that if the evils arc not removed, they will be held liablo for tho consequen ces. Should sitoh rcmftnstrances be made, and should they bo ineffectual, the citizens of N.

BIOGRAPHY OF EMINENT MftN. RICHARD MONTGOMERY. Richard Montgomery, a Major General in the army of the U. States, in the Revo lutionary war, was born in the north of Ireland in the year 1727. He possessed an excellent genius, which was matured by a fine education. Entering the urmy of Great Britain, lie successfully fought her battles with Wolfe, at Quebec, 1759 and on the very spot, where he was doom ed to fall, when fighting against her under the banners of freedom.—After his return to England’, lie quitted his regiment in 1772, though in a fair way to preferment. He had imbibed am attachment to Ameri ca, viewing it ns the rising seat of arts and 1 not fallen to pieces. It appears to ivc been of a rough suucturc, With a sd- r plate on its lid. There was no insorip^ ioil visible on (lit; plate: The anatomy in a perfect state of preservation, 'lie skeleton of the bond with the excep tion of the under jaw, which was shot away, was perfect. Three teeth" ol the Wilder jaw Were together. The remains were taken up with great care by colonel Livingston, and secured by-binding a turpiuding dose• round the old coffin, and enclosing them in an iron bound chest, i-i V • V-' At Troy they took them fro'm tho box and tnr cloth, nml enclosed them, together with tho original coffin, in a most splendid mahogany coffin with the following ins cription elegantly en g raved-upon a silver plate, placed on its lid : THE STATE OF NEW YORK, in honor dp GENERAL RICHARD MONTGO- M ERY, Who fell gloriously fighting for tho independence and liberty of the uni ted STATES, , Before the walls of Quebcq, the 31st day December, 1775, caused these remains Of this 'distinguished Hero, to CONGRESSIONAL election.

After his arrival in this conn- fore reading the Memorial, Chancellor Kent addressed the meeting in- n short but forcible speech, on the principles which it contained, arid the views of the subject which the committee entertained. A few additional remarks were made by Wm. W. Woolscy, Esq. when the meeting ad journed. The following is the Memorial adopted the meeting:— To the Senate and House of Representatives in the -wioj'ne THE SEASON.—The beautiful idea of the poet, of “winter lingering in the lap of .'Fay," is at this time completely trans- Jioapid in pur climate, for May is smiling arms of December. Our Ther- ?ters are more than 3U degrees above ihe usual freezing'point of" the season. The grass begins to dress itself in green— "the sweet jessamine and woodbine in the Sard ens of our city have expanded their fragrant leaves, and present to our view •full bloom flowers—the rose partially cov ers its stems with luxuriant leaves, arid the ijufunt bud of Flora’s favorite modesty, begins to peep forth through the slieltcr- .-ing foliage—the trees of every description .■start their buds to join the jubilee—the peach is in full bloom, and the mocking bird the early messenger of spring, cliaunts forth her praises for the continuance of mild and congenial airs. Ripe Mulberries were seen in market this morning, and a peach the size of a nutmeg, of the second bearing this year ■has been sent to U3 by a friend, for inspec tion. ' ‘wfwiKli • 1 of the XJ. States lit Congress assembled. The citizens of New York solicit the attention of your honorable body ns a Sub ject of the deepest interest, affecting c- qually the commerce and revenue of the nation, the lives of our citizens, nnd the property of a most respectable class of merchants. The trade to the Island of Cuba has for many years been increasing, nnd has now becomfe one of the most ViJunble branches of our foreign commerce hi its importance to the Union. It is not inferior to our trade with Franco and all her colonies, It is a most advantageous imuket fot onr produce and manufactures, furnishes us itli many useful articles of consumption, employs a vast amount of American ton nage, is’ 'a nursery for onr, seamen, rind ields a large revenue to our treasury. The following resolution was introduced the Seriate of South Carolina on tlic 4th nist. and passed:— Resolved, That the legislature now in epssion do renew the invitation already tendered by the governor to Gen. La Fay- et’c , that lie would honor this state with his welcome presence', that ho be received throughput our borders with the honors that were paid to the immortal Washing ton; and that the executive," in conjunction with such municipal authorities as may be disposed to co-operate with him, do pro vide lor his reception and residence while (among us, in a manner worthy oi'his great merits, in accordance with the dignity and in unison with the feelings ot this state. M hat ip our Legislature atlililledgeville doing? Will they not pay some tribute of respect to dtp vcacrublo and beloved Lu try he purchased ati estate in Ncw-York, about an hundred miles from the city, and married a daughter of Judge Livingston. He now considered himself os an Ameri can.—When the struggle with Great Bri tain commenced, fts he wns known to have an ardent attachment to Liberty, and hud expressed his readiness to draw his sword on the side of the colonies, the command of the continental forces in the .northern department was entrusted to him nnd General Schuyler, the chief cotnmnnd de volved upon him in October.—He reduc ed Fort Chuniblv, and on the third of No- ' 12th, vernber, captured St. Johns.'On the IS he took Montreal. Leaving a few troops .This trade was prosecuted until within n few years past with but little interruption: but in consequence of wars between the different Spahish provinces, which have had the effect greatly to weaken the sense of moral obligations, and from a partial suppression of the Spanish Slave Trade, many ferocious spirits have been put out of eriiployment, and a class of men have arisen, nnd located themselves indifferent parts of that Island, who seem, by their robberies and their cruelties, to emulate the Buccaneers of former times. The piracies of these men were confin ed for, a time principally to plttnderingour vessels, nnd maltreating our seamen. By the exertions of tlie naval force under the command of Com. Porter, tljpir atroci- ics were rendered Tcss frequent, and a hope was entertained that- they would be entirely discontinued; but this hope lias proved delusive. The necessary with drawal of our ships of war during the sick ly season, the supinencss or connivance of the locnl authorities of Cuba, and the im becility of thfeSppnish government, have conspired to renew the piratical system with increased activity and horror :■ whole crews have been recently murdered, their vessels burnt and their cargoes plundered, and in some instances openly sold at the Matanzasor the Havana. Without some protection to this trade more efficacious than any that has yet been afforded, and better adapted to repel the attacks of these abandoned men, we are apprehensivetlmt this great branch of out foreign commerce and the revenues aris ing from it, will he materially diminished It is a lawful commerce, apd cur citizens in Montreal, lie despatched severnl detach ments into the province, encouraging the Canadians to forward on provisions, and proceeded with the expedition to Quebec. He formed a junction at Point-Aux-Trem- hlcs, with Col. Arnold, who had been des patched through the wilderness with ,a body of troops from the.American army at Cambridge. Tlie combined' forces commenced ,the siege of tlic capitol,on the 1 st of December,prior to which General Montgomery sent a summons to Governor Carlton to surrender, in order to avoid the Jiorrors of a storm. The flag was fired upon nnd returned. Means, however, were devised, by which the summons was conveyed to the inhabitants, but Carlton evinced astonishing inflexibility and ftrrii ness of mind, on this trying occasion The boriihrirdmcnt was soon after begun from fivc small mortars, blit with very lit tle effect. In a few days General Mont gomery opened a six gun battery, about 700 yqrds distant from the walls, hut his pieces were of too small a calibre to make any impression. Convinced that the siege mfist soon be raised, or the plnce he storm ed, he concluded, on thri latter, nltho’ he esteemed success but barely within the grasp ; of possibility. lie was i adopt this measure in order to meet the expectations of the whole colonies, who looked up to him for tlie speedy reduction of that province, which would he complet ed by the reduction of that' copital. .The upper town was strongly fortified; the ac cess to which from thri |ower town was. very difficult on account of its almost per pendicular steepness. His confidence in the ardour of his troops, and a thirst-for glory, induced him to make the assault or perish in the 1 attempt. The garrison of Quebec consisted of about 1.520 men, viz: 800 militia, arid 450 seamen, and the re- without any kind of distinction whatever at the corner of the powder house, near Port Lewis. The. Lieut. Gov. of Quebec Mr Cramcho. haVing served With httpSn the British army, was induced by tho per suasions ofalady.who wus afterwards Mrs aniclic, to order him ri coffin, but made iiitlie roughest manner. The other offi cers were indiscriminately thrown with their clothes on Into the same graves with their men. ' As there wns a great quantity of snow on the ground, and the earth was frozen Very hard, it was impossible to dig the graves very "deep, and of course the bo dies were slightly covered.' On the thaw ing of the snow hi the ensuing spring, they were, however,ngaiu brined, on Gen.Carl ton’s being made acquainted with |hc cir cumstance. He was thirty eight years of age Ho was a man of great mditury talents, whose measures were taken withjudgmcnt and executed with vigor. With undisci- plincd'troops, who were jealousof him in extreme, he yet inspired them with liis own enthusiasm. He sharcd.witli them in all their hardships, and thus prevented their complaints. Ilis industry could not be wearied, his vigilance imposed upon nor his courage inundated. Abovo the pride of opinion, when a measure wa9 a- dopted by the majority, though contrary to his judgment, lie gave-it its full support. The following churucter of Goncrnl Montgomery, we copy from Ramsay History of the American Revolution:— “Few men linve ever fallen in battle, so much regretted by both sides as Gen. Montgomery. His many amiable qualities had procured him nn uncommon share of private offcction, and his great abilities nil equal proportion of public esteem. Being a sincere lover of liberty; lie lmd engaged in the Amcri. cause from princi ple, and quitted the enjoyment of an easy* fortune, and the highest domestic felicity, to trike nn active share in the fatigues and dangers of war, instituted for tho defcuce of the community of which he was .an n- dopted member. His well known char acter was almost equally esteemed-by the friends arid foes of-the side which ho brio espoused. In America, he was celebrated as a martyr to tlie liberties of mankind : in Grent Britian, as a misguided good man, sacrificed to what lie supposed to he the rights of his country. His name was mentioned in parliament with singular re spect. Some of tlic most powerful speak ers in that assembly,- displayed their elo quence in sounding his praise, and lamen ting his fate. ■ Those iri particular who had been his fellow soldiers in the previous war, expatiated on his many virtues. The minister himself acknowledged his worth, while he reprobated the cause for . which lio ’fellj lie concluded an involuntary princgyric;hy saying, “Curse on liis vir tues, they Iwvc undone liis eouutry.” To express the high sense entertained by his country, of liis services, Congress directed a liionumcnt of white marble, With tlie following inscription on it, and which was placed in front of St. Paul’s Cliurrili, Ncw-York. • THIS MONUMENT * ns erected by order of Congress, 25th January, 1776, - !

ENITED STATES. This patriotic act of the state of Now York, redounds much to Its honor. The following juBt remarks were made in the Albany Register on this occasion. “The hallowed remains of our beloved Mon goriiery are removed from a foreign land, wliere for near 42 years, they have reposed ‘ ttnlcnounng au l unknown.’ From ali the busy would who have listened to a relation ofhi9 patriotism, his devotion nnd liis vnlor, frorp the host of thousands, who saw with nmnzonient the might of his Herculean nrm, when raised in the cause of liberty, one, one only, could point to the sod, under whose favored pall our hero s|cpt. That country to which his manly and generous soul wns so exclusively do- vovoted, 1ms received hjs decayed frag ments of-mortality to its bosom. In con signing those sacred manes to the protec tion of our common "mother, a grateful people will cherish in their hearts a sweet remembrance of his virtues, with un cm bittcred regret ut liis uhtimely fate. 4 Wc have now, in relation to one of the Fathers of onr country, redeemed onr character from tlic imputation of ingrati' tude. All this was due to the bereaved disconsolate and venerable companion of our fallen chieftain’s bosom, and infinitely more wns due to the memory nnd remains of the devoted martyr, on the 6acred and imperishable altar of freedom. 4 Tho age stricken widow of our hero yet lives to sec the loved remains of her’s nnd her country’s Montgomery, removed from thc’plnins of the crimsoned Abraham and deposited in the bowels of a country at the shrine of whose welfare he proffer ed all the wnrmth of his soul, all the ener gies of his miml and all the mightiness of bis strength.’ A Grocery lor Sale.
