FOREIGN RELATIONS.
The follo wing is the jub fiance of the
remarks with which the Chairman of
the Committee of Foreign Relations
commenced the difcuffim of their Re
port :
Mr. Porter faid that the Houfe
were probably expecting from the
Committee of Foreign Relations
fume explanations of their views in
reporting the refolunons now under
ccnfideration, in add'tion to the
general exp fi on of them contain
ed in the report itfelf. The con
njtttee themfelves felt that fuch ex
planations were due, inafmuch as
they had only reported in part, and
had intimated their intention to fol
low up thefe refolutionf, fhouid
they be adopted, bv the recom
mendation off ulterior meafur^s.
The Committee, Mr. P. faid,
aft-r exarnmiag the various docu
ments accofilpa;iy*r.g h? Pr flient's
mefiage, were fatislied, as he p-e
---fumed every member of the Houfe
was, that all hopes of accom >da ing
our d'fF rences with G. Britain by
negociatun mufl be abandoned.—
When they looked at the corref
pondence between r he two govern

reforted to ex ufe the violations of
cur maritime rghts, it was imprffi
b!e not ro perceive thar her condudt
towards us v/as not r gnlated even
by her ovn fe ; nfe of juft <r, but
foldy by a regard to the probable
extent of our forbearikee. The
laft fix years had been marked bv a
feri'ts oi prf grrflive encr- a hme ns
on our rights; and the principles
by which lhe publicly upheld her
aggr-(lions, were as murahle as her
conduct. We had feen her o e
year advancing and flrines, which
the year before lhe had reprobated.
We hr.d feen her one day capurii g

only taking our property in our
harbors, but trampling 00 our per
fons in the ftreets of our cities.
Havi g become convinced that
all hopes, from further negnda'ion
were idle, the committee, Mr. P.
(aid, were led to the tot fi deration
of another queft on, which wa*—
whether the maritime rights which
Great Britain is violating were (bdi
as we or ght to fuppo:ta’ hc hazard
and exptofe of a war ? A dhe
bclievtd he was corredt \u (la*!ng
that the committee was unamm (1/
of the opinion hat thev weie. T ne
committee thought that the order!
in council fi far as they g * t inter
rupt our dir ell trade ; that k, the
carrying of the productions of this
country to a market in the porrs of
friendly nations, and rerurnkg with
them ought to be refitted by war.
How far wc ought to g*j in fupport
of whac is commonly called the
carrying trade, although the quef
tion was agfaced in the comm tree,
no definitive opinion was expufif’d.
I; was not deemed necefifary, at this
time, to exprefs, fu:h an opinion,
l'nalmuch as the injury we (uftain by
the inhibition of this trade is merged
in the greater one to our direct
trade.
The orders in council, Mr. P.
faid, of whu h there now to
