GRATITUDE TO LAFAYETTE. The Senate, according to the order of the day, tgok up the -hill making provision for Gen. Lnlhyottc; and no nmendmont being proposed thereto, the question was about to be put on ordering the bill to be read a thtld. time— - *v, 5' Mr. Macon rose. It was with painful rcluctnncc, ho said, thut*ho felt himself o*- bliged to oppose his voice to tho passage of this hill. Hu admitted, to the full ex tent claimed low them, the great and mer itorious services of General Lafayette, and he did nor object to ihc-preeisc sunt which this bill proposed-to award to him. But ho objected to the bill on this ground: he considered General Lafayette, to all in- entsand purposes, ns having Itecn, dur ing our revolution, a son, adopted into tli" faniilv, taken into tho household, and p'aced, inevery respect, on the same foot ing with the other sons of the same family. To treat him ns others were treated, was all, in this View of his relation tons, that could be required, and this had been done. That Gctieral Lafayette inane grout sa crifices, and spehtmuchof his money in the service of this country, (said Mr. M.j I a^ firmly believe as I do any other thing under tho sun. -I have no doubt that ev ery faculty of his mind and body were ex erted in the revolutionary war, in defence of this country. But this was equally the case with all the spus of the family. Ma ny native Americans spent their nil, made great sacrifices, and devoted their wives in The same cause. This was tbe ground of his objection to this bill, which, he repeat ed, it was as disagreeable to him to stntc as it could be to the Senate to hear, lie did uot.menn to take up the time of the Senate i if debate upon the principle of the bill, or to move any amendment to it. He admitted, tj)at when such things were lone .they should be done with a licit hand: it was to the principle of the bill, there fore, and not to the sain 'proposed to bo given by it, that lie objected. With re gard to the details of the hill, however, he was rather of the opinion that it^would have hecn better to have grvett so much money, which wc have in the Treasury, than to itnve given stock to the amouut. Mr. Brown, of Ohio, said that this bill purported to give a compensation to Gen. Lafayette, for services rendered. Ite should like to know what evidence had in duced the committee to suppose that the ampttnt propoi-ed was the proper amount of compensation. He should like to know how far the proposed appropriation w.a» grouiidcd on daimsfor services or for ndtture.

The Morse was soon come up with, and rather unexpectedly, Mr Ellis having approached'within twen« ty or- thirty feet ef the enraged animal he- fpre-he discovered him—He instautly fir ed ; but being somewhat agitated by sud denly finding himself so near the Moose, unsaed his object, the ball entering a small Lrce which intervened between thorn, whereupon the Moose immediately made i\i him with desperate fury, taking him be tween bis horns, cue of which entered his clothed near the wuisbajul pf the paqta- iooiiM in front and passed out nearliischip, ane the other at the small of his back ta- h ing the skin in it course.

Mr Ellis received eougiftt-rnhfe injury, but trifling to what glit have been expected fronj the cir- uwtuuooi iu wliiclt he was placed. Presst lity should npt be refunded to him by the government.

Mr. H. thcli submit ted a statement, founded on a document which had been received from Fraucc by a member ofthc Senate, from which it ap- Iteared that, when Gen. Lafayette em barked for America in 1777, he possessed an iucome of about 146,000 francs, nboiit 828,700—an income, which it is well kuo • n, had beenreduced by his losses-and sacrifices in the cause of liberi/- through- out the world, to a very small sum. It also appeared from the .same docu ment, that during six years, from 1777 to 1783; the General had expended in the American service, 700,000 francs, equal with this gentleman created, r of course, which add strength and energy to the coun- mltch embarrassment to him ; but the try. general only considered that it. might also Mr H. was certainly not disposed to embarrass the government of the U.

La to tommaud the respect of the world Fayette stopped not even herqi he was not Now, wlmt would be thought of tis in further sacrifices which the General had made in the cause of Liberty,as establish ed'by tbis document; but the only fact in it to which lie wished particularly to draw the attention of the Senate, was, that^ie sac rificed, more than forty years ago, one bundled and forty thousand dollars of his private fortune in the service of his Coun try. And how was tills sacrifice made ? Under what circumstances ? Was he one of opr own citizens—one of those whose lives and fortunes were necessarily expo sed during the vicissitudes of acontest for the right of self-government? N«- sir. said Mr H. no such thing. If he had been a native American, ahd'hadlost liis whole estate by the war, he would have incur red a misfortune to which all hjs iullrfkv- citizeoa were liable ip common with him who, with a libei nations, when wc, had any great agreed to relinguish his claims to the land duty to perform.
