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.

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.

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 be no profpttft of a fpeedy repeal, ccrrai f ly none during the continu ance of the prefent w.ir, author!fed the rapture of our vtfT Is b ‘und to aod from ports where Brit fh com merce is not favorably received; and as that nation is at war with oroft of the civilized world, the ef fect was (ai he uodertt od from thofe w;o had much better infor mation on the fubj It than he could pretend t) <0 tut up,at once, about three-f urths of our beft and m ft profitable commerce.
