of its having now coirtiriued for several years,
and the belief, (in which he has the opintoii of

_:.laced,) that the insanity is incur-able.] .

A long and feeling debate took place on this
bill—-chiefly on these points. \Vhether the in-
lanity actually existed at the time. of marriage,
to as to render the contract void; whether an au-
liction of gthis ch_at'acter ought to dissolve the
iiarri.-ge contract ; whether, if it was entitled to
elief, the tribunal appointed for the purpose of
granting such relief in the state of Massachu-
etts (where the marriage’ was contracted) was
or the proper place for the petitioner to seek it ;
rhetlicr it was right for L ougrt its to grant divor-
es at all, (it has never yet granted orie)_&c. &C.
t was agreed, on all hands. the facts being gen-
rallv admitted, that it was a case of great hard-
hip: Mr. Lloyd, of Mass. without taking sides
in the bill, spoke in corroboration of the facts
ht forth by the petitioner, and as to the great
bspectability of the conuexions of the lady re-

ding in Boston. The question being taken on
rdering the bill to be engrossed and read a third

Mzdsfii/ziiien.—In the House of Representa-
tives, Feb. 17, M r. Fuller, from the Committee
on Naval Affairs, to whom was committed a res-
olution respecting the equal selection of Mid-
shipmen for the Navy, from the different States,
made the following report :—-By the second sec-
tion of the second article of the Constitution of
the U. States, the President is vested with pow-
er, by and with the adtice and consent of the
Senate, to nominate and appoint all offcers.
whose appointment is not otherwise provided for
by the L"-onstitu'ion5 thus giving him the exer-
cise of discretion, without any limitation as to
place of birth or residence, in such appointments.
This latitude in selecting persons of suitable
character and qualifications, must have been
deemed indi.-ipensable, to enable the Executive
pow er to fulfil the high trust of providing for the
‘ faithful execution’ of the law s, and at the same
time involves a responsibility which would have
been considerably diminished by such a restric-
tion as is suggested by the resolution. In ap-
pointing oflicers in the civil department, for the
performance of duties vi hich are local in their
nature, thé committee beliete that a regard to
the circumstance of residence, and of the politi-
cal and individual relat-ionsof the persons selec-
ted, must frequently be among the considera-
tions most important to a just decision. Nor is
there any reason to doubt, that a due regard to
this consideration, in accordance with local pre-
(l,llCCllt;n5, and the spirit and genius ofa free peo-
ple, has guided the Executive of the U. States,
as far, hitherto, as the public good requires. In
the army and navy, less scope is afforded to the
Executive, in filling the higher grades of service,
as long established usage limits the selection of
suitable persons to an inconsiderable number,
whose education and probationary character are
deemed to render them the only objects of such
selection. It is only in the appointments to the
lower grades, from which, at a future (lay, the
highest ranks ofthe military and naval corps are
to be filled that the utmost latitude is afforded
to the President for consulting the future inter-
ests of the country, by enrolling in her defence
an adequate number ofbrave, intelligent, patri-
otic, and virtuous officers ; and the committee
are of opinion, that any restriction, by law, even
if pct itnitted by the Constitution, would be highly
pernicious in its operation, and might often re-
sult in the appointment of persons incompetent
and unsuitable.—-In regard to the appointment
of midshipmen, the particular subject ofthe pre-
sent inquiry, it appears, by tlte letter of the Se-
cretar‘y ofthe Navy Department, accompanying
this report, that a disposition sufficiently favora-
ble to a general and fair participation of naval
preferment has constantly pervaded that Depart-
ment, and has been no otherwise counteracted
than was unfavorable,from Circumstances beyond
its contr'ol.—-—-The committee fully concur in
the propriety and policy of enrolling in the naval
service the meritorious young men of the interi-
or states, whenever they manifest a solicitude to
enter it; and they are persuaded that such a dis-
position on their parthas always been encourag-
ed, and will continue to be so, as fat‘ as a due re-
gard to the constitutional discretion and respon-
sibility of the Executive will permit. They,
therefore, recommend the following resolution :
Resolved, That any provision, by law, restrain.
ing the Executive of the United States, in the se-
lection of midshipmen, is inexpcdient.

Extract from a letter dazed Ha-zvatza, January 31,
1823, to a gentleman in 1’/ziladel/i/ria.

‘Yesterday there had like to have been an un-
fortunate affair between the boatnieii ofthis place
and the officers of the U. S. brig Spark. lt ap
pears that the Spark had given convoy to some
vessels from this port, and the commander was
informed that one ofthe schrs. under her convoy
was a well known pirate that had robbed several
American and English vessels--she was there
fore taken possession of, and sent with the crew
to the U. States, the passengers being brought
back. The brig came in yesterday, and the peo-
ple, tvlien the news was spread, appeared very
much vexed with the Americans, so much so
that they threatened to destroy the brig. To.
wards evening, the oflicers were coming on sltore
but were not permitted to land; for the boatmen
on the whaifsaluted them with broken bottles
and stones. and had their clubs raised in case
they should attempt to land. Seeing this they
returned to the brig. The schooner was owned
by some Catalans, who are the cause of all the
disturbaiices here. Last niglit an Amei'iean,(a
chairmakcr) was killed. I lately witnessed a
sale of some goods at short distance from town,
brought in by the Pirates—Gold watches sold for
about §56—-Pieces of muslin $1-—and cocliineal
at $100 per scroon, Sec.’

tirely republican or rather democratic ; the or-
