nropirs* has beer, made m thesellle
.„t„l the arrears in the accounts ol the
E 30:Hc» establishment; and also what
if any. hare interfered ... the
l.i liquidation thereof.
The ordars ol the day were then taken
, ,„| on motion of Mr. Ball, the house
,P' ved iisell into a committee of the
-whole on the report of the Committee .1
r'lisisupon the petition ot W,||,»m Heu
. ier'co-Mr. Harrey in the chair.
The report, 4*c. were read, from which
: ao pea red that the petitioner solicited rr
uiiufradon for losses sustained by him
iL* ‘be burning oi bis prwpei tj by the t
r«-‘tflV, during; the late war, at Monti a r s
l ‘U[\ ou the Virginia shore ot the Che*
•. ske, which was occupied by the Arne*
real) troops commanded by the petitioner.
^ .jsum was also claimed tor the de
tt uct'* n ol a house and store house aboui
j ijijlr3 from Monday’s Point, which were
ii,u burnt by the enemy, on account, as
was said, Ot cartridges and military pre
uantions being found therein.
* >]r. Ball moved to strike .out the word
“not” from the resolution which was ap
pended by the Committee of Claims, *o
as 'ogire it an affirmative character, and
gnnt lb* prayer ot ins petition
Mr. Bad, in a very aide and eloquent
speiJi, supported tbe claim ol Ibe peti
tioner. /ie examined tbe testimony that
had been adduced to su, poit »t— exprts
tdhis conviction ol tbe unquestionable
cb.rscter ot the witne ses by whom the
tats were pioved; commented upon tbe
principles advanced m ih« report ol tbe
Commute* of Claims with much humor
and UeedoMj adverted toothei claims oi
Itssdesert that had been allowed; and
made a forcible appeal to the magnanimi
ty aaljuslice of the bouse in iavor ol a
84(riot and soldier.
‘The motion was also supported by
3h»srs. Win. Smith, Neale, Colden, Bus
V aid Bright, and opposed hy Aie^r*.
Williams and McCoy, on tbe ground dial
the destruction ot the prop* njr w ,s a wan
ton act on the part ot the britisn, tuat it
was unjust ihable by Ihe la»'» oi nations
Inal the petitioner was in Ibe same i.tua
tmi with thi’u-audsot olheis who nad net u
lfie 1 aa 1| 3 Ihe depr*
dationsol the enemy-t* mde.otify whom
would exhaust the iren'Uiy.
Mr. Kandolph suggtsted, as a matte
Ol lortn, that it would be more pariiauen
tary to put the question upon a concur
rence with the report ol tbe Committee ol
Claims, instead oi deciding tbe point up
oa the eramii« ot ibe word not.
Air. bail did not consent to vary bis
mot iou.
ibe Speaker thought it expedient that
sucb a practice should be introduced, auu
his reasons in it* lavor.
Mr towards, ot Conn, was aUo op*
~r«ed to having the question put in the
farm it had been mo\#G. A vote to
eracs the word not would be equivalent
to a gr*nt in full of the prayer ol the pe
titioner, whereas gentlemen might bo
disposed to indemnify tlie petitioner tor
his losses sustained at Monday’s Point,
who would not be willing to indemnify
hi® for tbe destruction ot his propejty
five milts in the interior.
Air. Ball finally acceded to the pro
position of changing the mode in which
the question should be put.
The question was then taken wheth
er the committed of the whole wou^l
concur with the committee of Claims in
tins ease, and it was decided in the nega
Bve. The committee then rose anu re
ported.
In ihe hou$Hx Mr. Smith, ot Md. mov
e>-to re-coiuinit the report to the com
mittee of Claim*, to which, at the sug
gestion of Mr. J/etcalf, was subjoined a
u-reetion to report a bill tor the relief of
hie petitioner to the extent of 2765 dol
‘ars* to indemnify him for his lasses
sustained at ^Monday’s Point, which was
put and carried.
H Nelson moved, that when this
ti°u3e do adjourn, it adjourn until J/ou

And ihe house adjourned.

announced by the President.
Mr. barb* ur said, it would be recoun
ted that the subject of fixing the number
ot Kepie enUiives lor the next ten yeais,
was now beioie the othei house; it was •(
no use, t*> press the question on this
resolution to an early decision, as the a
inendineut could not operate tor some time;
and as the decision ot the pending question
in the Hou-.e ol Kepresentaiives would be
an indication ot th« number which it would
be expedient to propose in the constitu

propriety •! postponing die further con

He therefore moved i s postponement to

tion prevailed; and
