tion of her-waters.. ‘It was now lii_t_:li_l’y’fn80€-5'
sary, in order to promote the improvements
contemplated in that'stat_e, to ‘repeal this re-

striction. Mr. Van Buren said he was indie‘

niinority on the comniittfee that reported this
bill, and consequent reflection_ had cottfirllled

him in the opinion that the bill ought‘ not to-_

‘ass. Before the state of Alabaiua was ad-

‘ . titted into, the Union,‘ she was required to.
passan orditiance that the’ navigable ‘waters
within her own territories should be, forever
free from toll or exaction toher own Citizens;
and tothe citizens of the other states. This
orditiance accoiiipanicd theact fo_r her adinis.-
sion. ' he now applies for _tlie revocation of
that c.-dinance. Tliereis nothing pectiliar in
lier,s-tit}-.ition; I The other new states are sub-

.j9.ef‘to similar restrictions. Ifthis ordinance

" should be revoked, the same measure should
be dealt out "to the other states. .After further
debate the bill was ordered to lie'ou the table.

The House was occupied most ofthe day
with the appropriate Bill. A- resoltitioii was
agreed to providing that no person receiving
an annual salary-from the ‘government of the
U. S.shall receive any thing in addition there-
to, for anyservices whatever, by way of per-
quesites or extra coinpensation, except-lees of
office which may be establisliedby law. 0

Senate, March l5.—.The 'report'oftlie Com-
mittee on-‘Claims, uufavorableto the petition
of Reuben Colburn, was taken up and con-
curred ,':ti.* This petitioner prayed compensa-
tion-for Q90 batteaux,built in 1775, for the use
ofthe<ti'oopsof Colonel Arnold, then about to
march’ into Canada; and for suudry other ser-
vices rendered, ‘and disbursements made for
the country,” at.tli'attim'e. »

The bill, reported bytbe Committee on the
Militia, ‘ more effectually to ‘provide for the
National Defence, by establishing a tiuiform
Militia. throughout the United States,aud pro-
viding for,-.the disciplitie thereof,’ was taken up
in committee of the whole. »

The first section of this bill, providesfor a
general registering of all the persons liable to
do military duty ; the second section specifics
who shall be exempted from the provision oil
the act; the 3d provides for the arraugeiucut
of the militia imo divisions, brigades, &t.c. as
the states may direct.

The fifth section provides ‘that the militia
enrolled as ‘aforesaid, shall within-19. months
from and after the passing ofthis act, be divi-
ded into two corps. All those above the age
of l8,and under the age of 25 years,shall form
‘one corps,to be denominated the select corps.
And all over the age of Qfiand under the age
of 45 years, shall form the other corps, to be
denominated the reserve corps. Boili the
corpsto be and remain under the same organ-
ization, and under the ofiicers, as is before
provided, and shall be called out by compan-
ies, one day in each year, together, for the
inspection of arms, and for the purpose ofiiu-
provemeiit in discipline.’

These sections were passed.

The sixth section was then read. It pro-
vides that the select corps together with all
the ofiicers and non-commissioned officers,
shall ‘be called out four days at one time in
each year, by division, brigade, regiment, or
battalliou, for the purpose oftrainiug and per-
fecting them in military discipline. ‘It fur-
ther provides, that officers shall be daily de-
tailed to command and train the troops so cal-
led out; anti those otlicers who are not so de-
tailed,‘ shallbe exercised and instructed in
the line of their duty by sotne of the officers
ht-st qualified for tli-at purpose; so that each
officer will have an opportunity of couimand-
ing and receiving instruction (ll-ll'll’lg-tllt: four
days aforesaid. It is left to the respective
states to furnish the troops with such tents.
camp equip:ige,an-;l rations, as they may think
proper.

This section was objected to, on the ground
thntit was unconstitutional, Congress not liuv-
iug the authority ol'troini71g the militia. Af-
ter sotuediscussion on this point, the bill was
laid on the table.

House of Representatives, .ifa.rch 1.’il.’i..—-A
resolution, offer'ed by Mr. Bteck, wasliiitl on
the table, instructing the Committee on Com-
merce to report Wll€.ll]F.l‘ any law eXlSlS in con-
travention of the provisions ofthe convention
ofthe third ofJuly, 1815, made between this
country and Great Britain; also, to inquire
into the expediency of countervailing by law
any duties on American tounage,whicli Great
Britaiirmay lay thereon contrary to the stipu-
lations contained in the aforesaid convention.’

In offering this resolution, Mr. Breck stated
that it had a two fold qbject; first, to inquire
whether we had been to blaiue in contraven-
ing the provisions of the convention between
this country and Great Britain ; and secondly,
whether it would not be expedieutto c.iunter-
wall, by law, any tonnage duty that may be
laid contrary to treaty,by England. It appear-
ed, by the.procee_dings of the imperial Par-
lirment, that, solute as the 13th ofFcb. reso-
lutions were passed in the House ofCommous,
authorizing the British King to levy 94 cents

' per ton on American ships trading to his Eu- .

ropean dominions, and 60 cents per ton on our
ships going to the West India colonies. The
duty of 94 cents, Mr. B. thought, was at vari-
ance with the following stipulation, contained
in the convention:

‘ i_‘\-To higher or other duties or charges shall
be imposed in any ofthe ports ofthe U. States
on Britisli vessels, than those payable in the
same ports by vessels ofthe U. States; nor in
the ports of any ofhis Britamiic l\iajesty’s ter
ritories in Europe on the vessels ofthe United
States,than shall be payable in the same ports
on British vessels.’ 4 -

The convention contains no stipulation for-
bidding .our governmeut’s countervailing all
tonnage or other duty levied in the colonies.
It is believed that a duty equivalent to 31 per
too has been raised from our tonnage, since
the West India trade has been ‘open to our
commerce; and this has been import, counter-
vailed by us. ‘ But this we are perfectly at lib-
erty to do, for it is a colonial concern, not in-
corporated into the convention. Not so on
ships coming from Great Britain. Here we
are restricted‘ by a positive treaty stipulation ;
and if any duty on such trade has been laid, it
is entirely contrary to law—'-because a treaty
is the supreme law ofthe land. lfno such duty
has been exacted at our custom houses, it will
be proper to couutervail iintnediately, a spe-
cial act, any duty that Great Britain may im-
pose upon our European trade. The tax of
94 cts.on our commerce with the single port of
Liverpool, will amount, on 156,000 tons of A-

flmericrin shipping, that entered that port alone
‘in 189.3, to $l9.8,600 ; and, upon our trade to
‘ptber British European ports,to about -$70,000
‘--making an additional charge upon our coin-
nerce of more than f5200,0()0. ‘

'I‘h.e Approp‘riation bill was again taken up‘
in committee, and ordered .to be engrossed for
as third reading. » Mr.’ Gazlay withdrew his
proposition to strike out an appropriation for
‘Miiiistersto Madrid and Lisbon. _ " ,
 The Tar§fl'.——-Tlie House then agaiufiveutr
into .committe'e on tlie'Tarili' bill. -Mr." Bay-
lies ‘movedto amend the section relative to
Leghorn‘ Hats, so as to_'mak'e the lowest‘ ap-
praisement three instead of two dollars. He‘
statedtlie benefits that would result, and gave
a succinct history of‘ this branch of manufac-
ture, in this count'ry, froiu its earliest" origin,
till it had grown to an annual amount of a mil-
He stated the
uiauuer in which it had been ruined by the im-
portation of Leghorh bonuets, to the amount
lastyear, of$800,000. , . 

The inotiou was further advocated by Mr.
Rich, and opposed by Messrs..Cainbr,eleng,
Sliarpe, Marviii, and Floyd. And the ques-
tion being put, it waslost. _ ‘ _
A Mr. Cook, of Illinois, moved to amendthe
82d line,by striking outtwoand inserting three,
so as to make it read, ‘ On lead, in pigs’, bars,
or sheets, 3 cents per pound.’ Neg-atived.

Mr. Foot,ofCouu. moved to amend thebill
in the I4-'8th‘line—' On muskets, Si 50 per
stand,’ by adding the words followiu r :—‘A nd
on all other fire aims", and on sideariiis, thirty
per cent. ad valorom.’ The iuotiou being ex-
plained by Mr. Foot, was adopted without
opposition.

Mr. iVl’Kim then moved to strike out the
177th line, viz: ‘ On tallow four cents per lb.’
He supporteid his motion by a short speech to
which Mr. Tod replied. VVlien, on motion of
Mr. Foot, of Conn. the C-ouimittee rose, to
leave time for the third reading ofthe Appro-
priation Bill; which,liaving been read $1. pas-
sed, was sent to the Senate for concurrence.

Scna!e,.»llrzreli 16 —The bill ‘to abolish im-
prisoumeut for debt’ was taken up in commit-
lce Ul'llle_\\‘llttle. The question was upon the
ainciitlnieut, lieretofore proposed by Mr. Van
Buren. Mr. Mm:-oii proposed an amendment
tolimitthe operation of the bill to all contracts
made after the lst of July next——aiid thus to
take away its retrospective character. Agreed
to. ,Mr. Van Bureii made a few remarks, in
explanation ofhis amendineut,wliicli provides
that, on aflidavit of the debtor’s intention to
leave the country, substantiated by the evi-
dence of two credible witnesses, the creditor
shall have a right to hold him to bail. Mr.
Mills proposed to strike out ilieclaiise requir-
ing the evidence ofiwo witnesses, in order to
hold to bail. Agreed to. The question upon
the substitute for the first section, as proposed
by Mr. Van Bureu, was then put, and carried"
in the affirmative. The substitute for the 4th
section was then taken tip. The original sec-
tion in the bill provides that,ou a return ofno
property found, upon a fieri facins. the plaiir
tiff may file an aflitlavit that. he has good evi-
deuce that a fraudulent conveyance, or coit-
cealment of property has taken place ;' and
then, after sui-uiuons to the party so cliarged,
a jury shall be impaimelled to try the fact, t'~.'o.
The proposed amendment provides, that the
party so cliarged shall be held to bail, on re-
ceiving such summons, to respond it. The
question was then taken on striking out the
fourth section of the original bill, and di.-cidetl
in the aiiirmative. The question before the
-Senate, was then upon inserting the section
proposed by Mr. Van Bureu, in lieu ofthe 4th
section. ‘Mr. l'Izi_viie proposed to amend the
aineutlment,so as to permit the creditor to file
the afiitlaiit of his beliefofa fraudulent inten-
tion to convey or conceal property, upon the
juzlguieut or decree ofthe Court,ivitliout wait-
ing for the return of the fieri facias. Without
taking the question, the Senate, on motion of
Mr. Talbot, Adjourned till to-morroiv.

No business oi’ iiiiportaiice was transacted
in the house this day. A tiiessage was rec’ti
from the President, in reply to the resolution
requesting ‘ informatioii whether any meas-
uies had been takeii for carrying into effect
the resolutiouofCongress ofJune l7th,l777,
directing a monumeiit to be erected to the
mcuiory of David Wooster, a Brigatlicr Gen-
eral in the Army ofthe U. who fell in de-
fending the liberties of America, and bravely
repelling an inroad of the British forces iiuo

me-.isures had been taken for carrying the res-
olution into eiiimt.

i‘-‘Ir. H-.tyne’s amendment was agreed to and
the bill niude the order of the day for Friday.

In the House Mr. Breck’s resolution was a-
mended so as to read as follows: Resolved,
Tliat the committee ofcouiuicrce be instruct-
ed to re port to this house whether any law
exists in contravention of the Convention of
the 3d ofJuly,18l5, made between this coun-
try aiid G. Brituiii ; also, to inquire into the
expedieiicy of countervailing by law any
duties or port charges oti American commerce
or tounage,whichGreaiBritain may lay there-
on, in her colonies, or elsewhere.

On the 18th, after several days discussion,
it was decided by a vote of 1.925 to 55, that Mr.
Bailey, from Mass. was not entitled to a seat
in the House. [This decision, the first titular-
the government on that point, may be consid-
ered as settling the rule, that a person accept-
ing the employment of a Clerk in a Public
Office at Washington, and pCl'f0l'llllll£{llS du-
ties, loses the privileges of a domicil in the
state in which he residecl at the time ofliis ap-

~ On the 23111 oi°J_an. last, the Dcpittrtlion of
Police, which had liecii appointed in August
I316, was re-cstablislietl in Havana, by the
order of Governor Vives and a message from
the governor was read in the session, poiutiiig
out the objects for which they were again con-
vened. Those objects are, the serious deliri-
quencies committed agaiustilie internal po-
lice of the island, the prisons, the houses of
correction,the €lS_)'lll|liS’f()l‘ insane persons,antl
particularly the assassins and desperadoes,
who infest both the city and the country. Go-
veruorVives saysin his iuessage,tliut the pro-
inulgatiou of popular opinions, no less than
the decay of agriculture and commerce has
been’ the means of increasing these depreda-
tors, who carry about them proliibiled arms,
and disturb the tranquility ofthe island.

The decree of Ferdinand regulating the
commerce ofthe Colonies, directs that it be
carried on in the saiue iuanuer as with his
states in Europe. Custom houses are to be
established, and an equality of duties on im-
ports and exports collected: some reservations
are to be made in favor of Spanish interests.
The decree concludes as follows:—-‘ Ameri-
ican Spaniards _will see in these measures a
new proof of my fervent desire to increase
their prosperity; European Spaniards will
see my firm resolution to preserve to them the
privileges and advantages to which they have
a riglit—Merclianl_s of good faith.of all coun-

*_{()Vel‘lllllt3lllS, a public testiiuony ofthe value
which I attach to the preservation ofthe har-

It is said that the Frencli niauifestsomc
anxiety lest this decree should involve them
in a sad dilemma. If they arebouud to wait
until Spauisli ciistoiu houses are establislied
in those countries, they are likely to share rc-
ry little ofthe commerce.

Extract of a letter dated L-ima, Nov. 7.

‘ I really do not know when this war in Pe-
