Mr. Smil/1., ttf Md. tltottgltt the wording of
‘the bill faulty. A pirate is to be pursited in-
to port, and then a despatcli sent liotiie to as-
ccrtaiti whether the por_t is to blockaded or

_pirate is flotvn. and the blockade is tiseless.~—
The pro:-seiitfortti ofthe bill might offend oth-
er nations. British vessels botirid to Marian-
zas,il'interrupted, would ask atttltority for the
net. It is tint to be found in the law ofiia-
tions. Where then? Iti the laws ofthe U.

blcckarle the port so far as to prevent an_v

He observed that great difference oflopinion
existed on the subject which had been in dis-

found liituselfiu the tiiiuority. The majority
were always safe, but the responsibility, in
this case, rested on the minority alone: there-

he moved for the printing an addrtional iiuin-

said the caravans who carried on the present
trade were pillagcd by the Indians, and were
compelled to pay arbitrary duties by the au-
thorities of the provinces to which they were
carried. All that was asked was the i'i_.t_{lit_of

Missouri and ‘Mexico sufficiently valuable to
merit national protection. It opened an ex-
tensive market for our cotton goods; a mar-
|.~et spreading over at tuillion square miles, atitl

‘rich and ‘various. It abounds?) with lurred
ani’t'na'ls,; mules, horses and cattle; and gold
andsilver mines. The population is near a
tiiilliou, and is rapidly increasing. The trade
must always be valuable, and the last year
yielded 8l90.000, in gold and silver, ftirs, &.c.
this sum is only an earnest of what pray be
expected when the trade is pt"otec.ted.and car-
tied to the extent of which it is capable. .

The trade promises to be permanent. The

internal provinces are naturally dependent
upon the valley of the Mississippi for their
supplies of foreign goods. They bind upon
each other for more than a tliousaiid miles.

so open to access from the vallcv ofthe Mis-

other side. It is separated from Mexico pro-
per, by distaiice,hy deserts, and by ntotiutaius.
It is ctit off fr. the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by the saniebarriets. Its interior position has
acquited for it the enrpliatic title of “ Pro

To the people of the West, I know this

protection it now solicits.

But it is not the West alone which is bette-
litted by this trade. The North $1. the South
participatein her profits. The South grows
the cotton, the North works it tip, atid the
West exports it; tlins displaying one of the
most bcaiitiftil operations of agriculttite,inau-
ufuctures and cotniuerce, tiiutttally dependent
tipoo, and mutually aiding each other.

That the trade will be beneficial to the in-
hahitauts ofthe Internal Province.s,is a prop-
osition too plain to be argued. They are a
people atitong wliotii all the arts are lost. No
nooks! no ttt'Wsp:«ipL‘l'.s‘: Iron a dollar a pound!
cttitivatitig the earth with wooden tools! atit:
spinning upon a stick! 'l‘o a people tliu.s aba-
‘~'t.‘.(l, and so lately arrived at the possessiriit ol
their liberties, a supply oftiiercltaiidise, ttpoi:

to be derived frottt a cointiietce with the peo-
ple of the United States.

The extracts of letters frotn the American

al tlF[)rP(lallt)nS upon oitr W. ‘I. cotninerce,
ought to convince every person of the neces-
sity and ditty, unavoidable and iiuperious,
which tests iipoti the general governtneut, to
adopt strong and fearless tneasttres for the
tnevvtttioti uftlrese atrocities. It is frilly titan-
iiest. [root the iu."ormation which has been
~.-biainetl on the subject, that the Spaniards of
t'..‘tiba are very deeply coiicerned in this busi-
ness, atttl there is neither prospect itor proba-
biltty that they will withdraw frotn it until
lllatll‘. to .SIlIT(’l‘ for the giiilty connexion. We
hope then there will be no unnecessary delay
in passirig the bill now before the Senate. If
carried fnllyiiito effect it cannot fail,we think,
ofbirttging about a diiferettt state of tliings.
But if it should fail to suppress these villain-
