hostages, &.c. &c. Many fatberless Greeks,
. children whose parents had perished or fled to
avoid destruction, -had been thrown on the
common compassion of mankind, and some
had been picked up by American agents, and
_ were now in this country. Every effort ofthe
‘ Greeks, in the last campaign, had succeeded;
they had gloriously repelled the attacks of all‘
. the Turkish power; and had almost driven
the Ottoman from the Morea, Candia, Athens
‘ &.c. Their navy, instead of being weakened,
has been strengthened. They have formed
a regular government, a republican govern-
ment founded on equal rights. They had
'' done more than any country has done under
the same disadvantages; and they well de-
serve the cheering countenance of the civili-
zed world. They have withstood the Turk
_' and the Algerine,and the coldness ofthe pow-
ers which ougbt to have assisted them,.and
they still hold out. ' _
The resolution he had proposed, he had no
doubt would do them good. Although he
would not oppose the contributions making
for them throughout this country, he thought
a public expression of _opitiion frotn the rep-
resentative body, would have a more power-
ful effect on them than the _most extensive sub-
scriptions. It could not injure us commer-
cially ; and hethought the resolution imposed
- no duty on the President. It was only ena-
bling him to dotbat openly, which would be
,- injured in its effect, if done secretly. 'l‘lieres-
olution can offend no one. Ifthc,Turk takes
offence, he takes offence against a law, and we
cannot prevent him from doing this‘. The
proper course would be, to send an agent. If
any thing to endanger us was contained in
this resolution, he should not urge it; but af-
ter the contributions which were openly ma-
king in this-country, and even the correspon-
dence oftlie Secretary of State with a Greek
agent in London, no such fear could be rea-
sonably entertained. Every thing short ofac-
tual recognition of Grecian independence had
been done. VVould it offend any European
power? VVe would pay much to preserve
amity with European powers, but therc'is a
“price which we will not pay. Again,_he re-
marked that, there is a time whenppinion ex-
pressed in this mode may be ofuse, and t here
is a time when it would be useless. Now is
the time to do what he proposed, if it was in-
tended by it to succor the Greeks. The ques-
tion may even now be settled while we are _de-
liberatingr. He did not know that the Greek
cause woiild prevail; but if every Greek were
annihilated, and all the country of Greece
were covered with blood and ashes, he should
~iiot regret that he had made this motion.
On motion of Mr. Poinsett, the committee
rose, and the House adjourned.
Senate, Jan. 9.0, and §.’1.—Both days the
Senate was principally occupied with Execu-
tive business. The Vice President has taken
the Chair. The resolutions from the House
relating to LaFayette were referred to a coni-
mittee of five. A bill was reported to prohib-
it our national vessels from carrying passen-
gers and specie, except under restrictions.
Jun. E2Q.—W r. "Van Buren offered a,resolu-
. tion for amending tlieConstitution so asto give
Congress the power of making roadslst. canals.
House of Representatives, Jan. 20.—Mr.
Mitchell, from the committee respecting the
Marqtiis La Fayette, reported an amendment
to the resolution, which was adopted,-and the
bill was passed to a third reading. [Letters
from the Marquis were readin which he ex-
pressed his wish to visit this country.]
The House then resolved itsclfinto a com-
mittee ofthe whole on the Greek question.
-Mr. Clay, before the .House resumed the
discussion of yesterday, .begged‘le-ave" to lay
on the table the following resolution. Respi-
ved, by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America,in Con-
gress assembled, That the people of these
States could not see, without serious inquiet-
ude, any forcible interposition, by the allied
powers of Europe, in behalf of Spain, to re-
duce to their former subjection those parts of
the continent of America, which have pro-
’ claimed and have established for themselves,
respectively, Independent Governments, and
which have been solemnly recognized by the
United States.
Mr. Poinsett took the floor in oppostion to
the Greek Resolution, and after sotne forcible
remorks, submitted the following substitute :
Resolved, That this house view with deep
interest the heroic struggle of the Greeks, to
elevate themselves to the rank of a free and
independent nation ;and utiite with the Pres-
ident in the sentiments he has expressed in
their favor; in sympathy for their sufferings,
in interest in their welfare,and in ardent wish-
es for their success.
Mr. Randolph then rose, and said, that this
was perhaps one ofthe finest and the prettiest
themes for declamation ever presented toa
deliberate assembly. But it appeared to him
in a light very different from any that had as
yet been thrown upon it. He looked at the
measure as one fraught with deep and deadly
—,danger to the best interests and to the liber-
ties ofthe American people ; and so satisfied
was he of this that he had been constrained
by that conviction to overcome the almost in-
superable repugnance he felt to throwing him-
,self upon the notice of the House; but he felt
. it his duty to raise his voice against both the
propositions. He would not at this time go
at lengt_h into the subject: hisintention, in
rising, was merely to move that the commit-
tee _rise, and that both ofthe resolutions might
be printed. He wished to have some time to
think of this business—to deliberate, before
we took this leap in the dark into the Archi-
pelago, or the Black Sea, or into the wide
mouth of the La Plata. He knew, he said,
that the point of honor was on the other side
of the House, the post of toil and ofdiflicnlty
on this side, if, indeed, any body should be
with him on this side. It has been wisely and
truly said, that it is possible the mere rumor
of our interference may produce at Constan-
tinople or at Smyrna that which will drive us
at once into a war. We all know the conn.ec-
«tion that subsists between the Barbary States
and what we may denominate the mother
power. Are we prepared for war with these
pirates? Sir, why did we remain supine while
Piedmont and Naples were crushed by Aus-
tria ?VVhy did we stand aloof,while the Span-
ish peninsula was again reduced under legiti-
mate government? If we did not then, why
now ? Mr. Randolph thought both proposi-
tions, the one made by Mr. Clay as well as
that of Mr. Webster’s, Quixotic, and he wish-
‘Mr. Clay then, rose, and said he hoped the
Committee would not rise. He trusted that
gentlemen were now prepared to act on the
resolutions, with respect to Greece, and as to
that which-' he had himself submitted. He
hoped that the resolution of the gentleman
from Massachusetts would be adopted. The
measure for which it prepared was in strict ac-
cordance with the policy of this country, and
with the practice of all our Presidents, from
the days of our immortal Washington to this
hour. He was disposed to accord to the gen-
tleman from Virginia every reasoiiableaccom-
modation ; but, asked Mr. C. has it couie to
this; Have we yet to make up otir minds‘ on
the question of the Greek cause? Has there,
then, been no pillow reflections on such a sub-
ject? Is it now that we are for the first time
to ‘sleep upon it?’ He trusted not. Sev-
eral other gentlemen delivered their senti-
ments, and then the committee rose.
The following is an abstract ofa law‘ recently
passed by the legislature of South Carolina,
to prevent free blacks cominginto the state.
All free negro_es or persons of color are pro’-
hibited from entering that state, on board of
any vessel, as cook, steward, mariner, or in a-
ny other capacity ; and if any vessel shall ar-
rive in any port or harbor froui any other state
or foreign port, having on board any such free
negro, or person of color, the sheriff is order-
ed forthwith to arrest such free negro,.&.c. and
confine him closely in gaol until the vessel in
which he catne is hauled off from the wharf,
and ready for sea, when the niasterofthe ves-
sel is ordered to pay the expenses of his deten-
tion, and carry him away; and in case ofneg-
lcct to do so, the master is rendered liable to
pay the penalty ofoue thousand dollars, and
to suffer imprisomiient for a term not exceed-
ing six months.
All free negroes, &c. that be thus committed
to gaol, are to be tvariied by the sheriffand a
justice of the peace never again to enter the
state, and the justice at the time of warning
him is to take his name, height, $30. for which
service the -master is bound to pay two dollars;
and all such negroes who, after confinement,
shall remain, or after departure from the state
shall return again into it, shall stiffer corporal
punishment at the discretion of a magistrate.
Every master of a vessel who brings into
the state any such free negro, &Lc. for the first
offence shall pay a fine of 1000 dollars, aiirl
for the second offence shall forfeit and pay
1000 dollars for each negro,8z.c. so brought in,
and be liable to imprisonment for a term not
exceeding six inontlis.
Masters and mates of vessels making false
returns to sheriffs of the number of persons on
board, who are prohibited by the act from en-
tering the state, are liable to a penalty of1000
dollars; and any master of a vessel or other
person, opposing the sheriff in the execution
of his duty under this act, and all persons aid-
ing and abetting, are tnade liable to a penalty
of 1000 dpllars, and imprisonment not ex-
'ceeding six months. ,
We’ should think such an outrage as this a-
gainst not merely the constitution ofthe Uni-
ted States, but the absolute rights of men as
members ofa free republic, would induce the
owners and masters of vessels which are im-
mediately exposed to the vengeance of this
act, to apply to Congress, fortuiiately now in
session, for an act defining and establishing
their rights, and protecting them in the free
use and enjoyment of then-i. ' Were this sub-
ject brought before the iiational legislature,we
do not see how they could easily avoid taking
it into consideration, and coming to a deter-
mination upon‘ it. They would be under the
necessity of declaring whether free men, eti-
titled to all the common privileges offreemeu,
can be preventc=d,by severe penalties, and in-
famous corporal’ punislnnents, from prosecu-
ting their lawful business in a peaceable inan-
ner—wliether it is justifiable under the coiisti-
tution of the U. States to in_./lict upon afrce-
man who has committed no crime, been guilty
of no legal ofcnce, and not even violated the
public peace, severe penalties and infiunous
corporal punishment! If such things are ad-
missible, we are all slaves ; and a residence a-
mong the Turks is as secure as under the ju-
risdiction of States which pass and enforce
such acts as tliese.--JV‘. Y. Dai. flclv.
Naval Court .-llfartial.-—VVe mentioned some
time since, that a Naval Court r‘v'lartial wasti-
Capt. S. Smith, and Lieut. B. Kennon, and
that the departure of Coui. Porter had been
delayed in consequence. This affair has been
kept as a great secret at Washington and
Norfolk; but one ofour invisible correspond-
ents at Washington informs us that the Court
will soon be organized at Norfolk, and that
the following officers will compose it, viz :—
Captains Bainbridge (President,) Mac Do-
nough, Spence, Reid, and J. D. Henley. W.
F. Jones, Judge Advocate. This Court will
probably be the most important of any one
that has been held for a number ofyears, and
will excite riiore interest than any one forthe
last fifteen.--Spectator.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. .°21.—Capt. Biddle, of
the Navy, came to this city yesterday from
Washington. life are happy to learn that he
is in good health. VVe hear thatit is not prob-
able any inquiry will be gone into as to alleged
charges against Capt. Biddle" in his deport-
nient toward Mr. Rodney. It is said that all
the departments ofthe government, are per-
fectly satisfied that the conduct of Capt. Bid-
dle, in all his intercourse with Mr. Rodney,
was gentlemanly and officer-like.
Commodore Bainbridge arrived here yes-
terday froin Boston, and departed this morn-
ing for Norfolk to preside at the Court Mar-
tial on Captain Smith. The tours we hear of
the facts and principles involved in the ap-
proaching Court Martial, the iiiore we are im-

to the honor ofthe Navy.
Treaty of fllliance with Great Britain.--
The editor ofthe Baltimore Morning Chroni-
cle contends, that, taking the language ofthe
President’s Message at the opening of the
session of Congress, with that ofbis late Mes-
sage, in answer to the call of the House of
Representatives concerning the views of the
Holy Alliance, and in ‘which lie says——‘I pos-
sess no information on that subject not known
to Congress, which can be disclosed without
injury to the public good,’—-the conclusion is
irresistible, that a treaty, ofensive and defen-

.Hccident.—Capt. Dan Taylor, of this town,
was very seriously injured on the 92d instant,
while passing on the side-walk in Pine-st. N,
York, by the falling of azeroon of Indigo
from the third loft ofa store. We learn by
the N. Y. Statesman that the zeroon struck
him on the back part of the head, and felled
him face downwards upon the pavement. He
was carried into the Statesman oflice, with his
face covered with blood, and suffering severe
pain in his back and head. No bones were
broken, and it was tho’t he would soon recover.
The collection for the Greeks taken up in
Bridgeport on the 15th inst. after Mr. Dey’s
Oration, amounted to S170,and has since been
augmented to about $200. This is a very
handsome sum for such a place, and bespeaks
the benevolence ofthe inhabitants. But how-
ever benevolent they may be, we. fancy that in
these hard times they are not all disposed to
follo\v the direction of one of their editors,
which is, that “ every individual-in that chris-
tian community go and do likewise ,"’ in other
words, that every iudividualgo and pay $2200’.
and it is even a matter of some doubt with us
whether the benevolent and patriotic editor
himself would e willing to set the example.
From the ner in which the Oration is
spoken of by ttlier editor it is to be inferred
that the world"was never before blessed with
such a masterly piece of composition. It ‘ en-
chained’ the audience in ‘almost breathless
benevolence.’ The editor dares not even ‘ at-
tempt to describe this production ofimpressive
eloquence,’ as it could be ‘ conceived only by
those who heard it.’ This is puffing to a most
outrageous degree; but if the Rev. Orator
can swallow it without a distortion of his fea-
tures we will not complain. Without doubt
the Oration was a very good one, but we are
slow to believe that ‘it was universally esteem-
ed by men of sound sense and learning to be,
in every point ofview, the greatest effort they
had ever witnessed.
Since our last notice the Greek Fund has
been atigiii:-nted by the donation of 5103?. 47,

Factory, in Paterson, N.J. On the 18th
inst. the Rev. Mr. Bedell preaclied a sermon
in Philadelphia, in favor of the Greeks, at the
close of which a collection of3250 was taken
up. 5770 have been collected in Rochester,
N. Y. and about 8400 in the adjoining towns.
It is calculated that S1000 will be collected in
the several wards in Utica. At a recent eon-
certthere 3183 EL’: was taken up: a shoe-ma-
ker has engaged to give one dollar a month
from his earnings as long as the sti'iiggle lasts.

In mitigation of the pniiishment his counsel
contended that the libel was only a satire, car-
ried a little beyond prescribed rules.

cliimerical. The country is crushed by the
weight of.an annual expenditure of‘ 7 or‘ 800
millions of reals, while the receipts are hardly
300 millions. It is even supposed that the
government will be under the necessity of dis-
handing the army, a measure which would be
resorted to only in the last extremity, as the
roads are covered with banditti, who are eve-
