PRFSifi) Mills MESSAGE.
On motion of Mr. Taylor, ofNcw-York,
the House Resolved itself into a committee
of the whole on the state of the Union, Mr.
Jlfacon in the chair;
And the message of the President yester
day, reterred to the said committee, was ta
. ken into consideration.
The said message having been read, the
following resolutions were moved by Mr.
Taylor, and severally agreed to without de
bate.
1. Resolved, That so much of the Presi
dent’s Message as relates :oour Foreign Af- 1
fairs, be referred to a Select Committee i
2. That so much as relates to Military Af- '
fairs, be referred to a Select Committee.
3. That so much as relates to Naval Af
fairs, be referred to a Select Committee.
4. That so mugli as relates to our Revenue,
be referred to the Committee ot Ways and
Means. ' v i
5. That so VnOch as relates to a revision
•t the Mil tia LavvV be referred to a Select
Committee
6. That so much as relates to the Retali
ation by our Government of the proceedings
, o* the Enemy contrary to the legitimate
modes of warfare, be referred to a Select
Committee.
Mr Clay, of Kentucky (Speaker) remark
ed that the resolutions adopted appeared to
embrace all the principal topics adverted to
in the message, with the exception of one
which had no doubt escaped the gentlemen’s
observation. The subject to which he re
ferred was embraced in the fo lowing reso
Jution, which Mr. Clay offered for cor.~:dcr
ation:
6. Resolved, That so much of the Mes
sage of the President as relates to the expe- j
diency ofsuch legal provisions as may supply
the defects, or remove the doubts of tho Ex
ecutive authority to allow to the cruizers of
other powers, at war with the enemies of
the United States, such use of the American
ports awl markets as ma\ ct>. respond with
the privileges allowed by such powers to
American citizens be referred to a select
committee.
Mr. Taylor remavked, that he had not O'
verlookcd tins * iportant recommendation,
but had suppoiad yt. would fall within the
province of ihacnrrrrnittee on naval affairs;
in H6 much as ivrtl&lLred object was • to
give to our vessel* of *tir, public and private,
the requisite advantage in their cruizes,”
and appeared to him therefore properly a
subject for their examination.
Mr. Clay observed, in reply, that if it be
longed to any of the committees proposed in
the resolutions just agreed to, it appeared to
him to belong to the commiitee of Foreign
Relations, the object being a reciprocation
to afmeign power of ceitain privileges in
our ports which it granted to us on its part.
It was at least doubtful to which committee
It properly belonged, and it would therefore
be better to refer jt to a special committee.
Mr. Taylor ^it^dre w his opposition to the
motion; and
It was agreed to. y
The commitfeelierl rose and reported the
resolutions to the house, which were concur,
red in and the committees ordered to be ap
pointed accordingly.

TECUMSEH,
Many having expressed doubts that Te
cum sell was nogkilled in the battle of the
Ath ult. near 'he Moravian Towns in Cana ,
da, wc are induced t^ay the following state
nient of facts befort^Br readers, in proof of
his death—they were obligingly furnished
by an officeroi Colonel R. M, Johnson’s re
giment. 1 he death of this great man (for
he was truly such) is desirable on no other
account, than his hostility to the Ameri
cans, and his supereminent abilities to unite
the various Indian tr bes against us. The
head being killed, the confederacy is broken,
and wc may calculate on a lasting peace on
our frontiers. Frank. Ar^us.
EVIDENCE.
1st. General Harrison examined the In'
dian said to be Tecumseh. and postively
stated he had no doubt on tin* subject. 2d.
At the same time several British officers
stated it po»itivcly>L be him. 3d. Shane the
halt Indian, has InpnVacquainted with I e
cumst-h for 20 yea^j—states it to be him.
4th. Drownyard, a-'Vienchman taken at
Detroit and made prisoner of war, escaped
from the Moravian 'Towns on the day of the
battle, examined the dead body, and stated
it to be lum. 5lh. 'The British Indian in
terpreter was wounded in the battle and
died in two or three days after it:—lie fore
his death, Doctor Richardson asked him if
Tecumseh w »s dead t—i fe replied that he
was, and fell by hi* side. 6th. VVhen cap
tain Richard Price was about two miles be
low the ground on which the battle was
lought, he met a man going that way, who
told him he heard that Tecumseh was dead,
and that he was going to see for himself, for
lie knew him. On his route, lie was accom
nanied by Captain Price to whom he des
lihcd minutely Tecumseh’* dress, and some
narks’ when they arrived where the dead
• dy lay the man examined it aud pronoun*
'ed it to be him—the dress and mark* fit
•ed exactly. This so far convinced Captain
Price that he had not a solitary doubt on the
subject. _
Canada most be conquered, or wc stand
disgraced in the eyes of the world. It is "a
rod held out over our heads”—a fortress
which haughtily frowns up<m our country,
and from which arc disseminated through
out the land, the seeds of disaffection, sedi
tion, and treason. The fortune of the war
is staked upon its acquisition. The national
safety, and honor, and glory are lost, if we
do not win this splendid priae. Let, then,
every nerve be strained and every faculty
exerted for its attainment.

accounts from London have been received
there by way of Lisbon as late as the middle
of October, in which it is stated the British
Government have refused to send commis

us.
TflE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Will speak for itself. We have seldom seen
a more crpiuus, and yet a more.- concise state
paper. It is a great ileal in a small compass;
an-1 embraces very many subjects of the high
est importance to the nation Among these the
one most immediately interesting is, we think,
that of Retaliation. It opens a wide field for
discussion. We are glad to find the President
so determined on that point. But he may cal
culate to have all the tories in the country a
gainsthim; which is, however, a blessing.
The secret business before Congress ia con
jectured to be an Embargo. We hope it tn..y
so turn out. That measure ought to.havc hern
adopted at the last session. However, better
laie than never. Let the smugglers and Hall
fax Coys look to thems lvcs.
Our Army having gone into winter quarters,
the tories arc quite in spiris. AVe should not

Newport, Dec. 4.
By the ship Criterion, Capt. Clarke, which
arrived at this port on Thursday last 62 <la\ s
from Tulctuiana, (coast of Chili) we have
received the following late news from the
Essex Frigate.
Capt. Clarke was informed in August
last, by our Consul at Suntiago (in Chili)
that the frigate Essex, Captain Porter, had
captured during her cruize on the Leeward
Coast, and at (he GalUpugos islands. Eight
English whaling ships.*
Capt. Porter experienced no dfficulty in
obtaining men; he hud fitted out three
of his prizes, and had upwards of 300 men
on board, the Essex.
The American Consul at Valpariaso had
received information from the consul at Bue
nos Ayres, that the Phoebus frigate of 36
guns, 6c the Cherub 6c Racoon sloops of war
ot 20 guns each had left Rio Janiero on the 5th
of July, bound round Cape Horn to intercept
the Essex.
Capt. Clarke was also informed by the
Consul, that he had received information
i from our consul at Buenos Ayres ; stating,
(hat an American frigate [probably the Con
gress] had captured, off the River Plate in
August last, au English ship, bound to Eng
land, with 5> 400,000 in specie on board.
LATE FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Capt. Clarke, of the ship Criterion, from
Tulchuana, (Chili) which he left Sept 10th,
intorms, that that place was taken on the
27th of March last by the King’s party, con
sisting ot 2500 men; and retaken on the ‘29th
of May, by the patriots, consUti-.g ot 55u
men. 1 be patriots continued to be very
successful. Capraiu Clarke was informed
by the American Consul, that a severe bat
tie was fougiit in June last, at a town called
St. Carlos, about 40 leagues in the country,
between the Patriots and the King’s party,
in whicn the latter were defeated with the
l loss ot 1100 killed and wounded.
The situation of tlie inhabitants on the
I coast of Chili was very distressng ; the King’s
party were* very severe in the punishment
ot those who fell into their power, and the
patriots wt.c much embittered against the
king’s party, and the priests.

MARYLAND LFOISLATURE.
Extract to the Editor* of the Balt. Whig,
dated Anapolis, Dec. 6.
“In compliance with my, promise, I lit
down to give yoH as correct a sketch of the
legislative proceedings of this day as my in
dispensihle duties will permit.
'• Ten members appeared in the 8cnatc(
and, after qualifying, appointed Dr. Elijah
Davis of 11 art ford county their president
and re’appolnted all their former officers
They also appointed Mr. Thomas Hawkins
of Frederick count/do fill the vacancy re
CAsinncd by the resignation of the same gen
tleman. A letter of rqpignation from Mr
Bruce, dated in OctoWr Inst, wnsreceived,
nut not acted upon. In all probability the
wo other vacat cirs in the Senate will be
tilled by new appointments to-morrow.
" There were seventy-one members M
the house of delegates, exclusive of the ^ev
en from Alleghany county, five of whom
were on the spot, three of them democrats.
Previous to qualification, a short debate
to. k place at the instance of General Stans
bury, on the subject of the election in Ailc”
ghany, but it was deferred, on ihe suggestion
of a member, in which all parties seemed to
aKree, until the me nbers returned from
that county were called to qualify. The
returns from this county sio .d last, and af
ter the members of the next preceding
county had qualified, Mr. T Dorsey moved
to proceed to the appointment of a speaker.
Upon this motion, a long debate endued ;
Messrs. Jobs H. Thomas, Herbert, Wilson
and Kilgnur speaking on the f« deral side, &
Messrs John T. Mason, T. 11. l)or>ty and
Genneral Stansbury on thatof the democrats.
The federal gentlemen contended that the
return having been signed by a majority of
the presiding judges was firimu /ncir evi
dence of the rights of the persons by them
returned to qualify. The republicans con
tended that neither return was legal ; and to
my mind their arguments were irre-istable*
1 lie motion, however, was negatived, eve^y
federal member voting against it Mr. Han
son Thomas then moved that the delegates
from that county returned by the four judg
es qualify ; upon which Mr. T 11 Dnr-ey
moved, suggesting that his motion would su
persede the necessity of the former, that the
legality of the returns from Alleghany coun
ty should be decided before any of the dele
gates returned were permitted to qualify.
At this moment I left the House, and did
n t hear any further discussion of the sub
ject: but I have been infmmed that Mr.
Dorsey’s motion did not prevail The two
federal members ptesent were then q atified
and the House proceeded to organise itself,
by re appointing their former speaker,
cierk, assistant c erk, and sergeant at arms.
1 here is no doubt from the disposition of
the Hi use, as manifested on this day, that
'hey will go through :hut I venture toas«ert
that there will be found a redeeming spirit
in the Senate, and that they will meet, with
hi coming firmness, any exigency which
m .y grow out of the present dispute.”
