in three days from Lv West, that the position
taken ’>v Com. Poktf.h, -t Key \N est, is os
m:«ck a matter of choice, as it has been^oppos

The Squadron had to beat out against a
strong wind and tide, to cross the reef and
rcaih ihe enemy,andjafter succeeding in coining
within five miles of him, he set all sail and was
soon oui of sigl>t —Night coming on, and the
passage of the reef living difficult in the dark,
the Squadron returned to its former anchorage.

Most Excellent Sir—On the 2d of January,
1 had the honor of addressing to his Excellen
cy, the Captain General and Governor of the
Island of Cuba, the letter of which the enclosed
is a copy. As 1 have not received a reply to
it, 1 suppose that this circumstance has arisen
from my having addressed it to him instead of
addressing it to your Excellency. I have now
the honor of informing your Excellency, that I
hold as prisoners of war, six masters of vessels
one mate, twelve passengers, and forty one sea
men 8c boys. These 1 propose to release for an
eutjal number of Mexican or Colombian prison
ers of equal rank., if such a number should be in
your power, or to liberate them provided you
will pledge your word to do the same, if the
fortune of war should furnish your Excellency
with the opportunity.
Be pleased to accept th* assurances of my
high respect and consideration, 8cc.

In this proceeding 1 act conformably to the
pure and humane spirit which animates the Go
vernment which 1 have the honor to serve, and
it is highly gratifying to me to furnish this
proof that the war which it is compelled to car
ry on is for principles, and not for the unjusti
fiable purpose of causing unnecessary suffering
to peraons engaged in honorable and pacific pur
suits. i am further induced to take this step
fr«sm the firm persuasiou that your Excellency
-will not fail to release an equal number of Mex
ican or Colombian prisoners, or that if you
have not this number at present in your power,
that you will do so whenever the fortune of war
shall afford you the opportunity. Governed by
these principles, I also transmit to your Excel
lency the letters which were found on board the
Hercules Gaditano, that your Excellency may
cause them to be delivered to the individuals to
whom they are severally addressed, as no ad
vantage will result to the Mexican Government
from their detention, as they do not treat of po
litical matters, but are purely of a friendly and
private character. On board the Squadron un
der rnr command, I still detain as prisoners, the
Master, Male and sixteen persons, belonging
to the Spanish Schooner Montenexa, which I
have captured and which proved tobe a slave
trader, as » cargo of slaves hid been landed
from her on the Coast of Cuba immediate y
preceding her capture. As no advantage wou
result to the Government of Mexico by
ing them. I doubt whether I can with propriety
doV unless I previously receive fwm yo
Excellency a positive security that they will
not be permitted to return to re-engage in h
traffic. If, therefore, your Excellency has an e
qual number of Mexican or Colombian gon
ers to lil»eraie in exchange, I will place them at
the disposal of your Excellency, to be dealt with
agreeably to your judgment: but if this offer
should not be accepted, I deem it as much the
duty I owe to the Mexican Government, as to
humanity, to send them to Vera Cruz, there to
await the justice and determination o, my Go
vernment. The passage of the prisoners or the
Hercules Gaditano will be paid by me; and 1
trust that you will reciprocate by paying lor
the passage of the Colombian or Mexican pri
soners that vou may send to this port Any
communication that you may be pleased to
honor me with, will find me at this place.
I pray you to accept the assurance of my

In thk House of Representatives.—Mr.
Everett, from the Select Committee to which
was referred two Messages from the President
of the United Mates, with resolutions of the
Legislature of Georgia; and other documents,
relating to the coniiutt r->y as to the right to cer
tain lands lying witbin the limits of the State of
Georgia, occupied and claimed bv the Creek
Indians; made a long and detailed report there
on, recommending ’he adoption of the following
resolutions:
1. Resotced, That it is expedient to procure
a cession of the Indian lands in the limits of
Georgia.
2. Resolved, That until a cession is procur
ed, the laws of the land, as set forth in the
I reaty of Washington, ought to be maintained
by all necessiry constitutional and legal rru^ans.
Mr. Everrtt, after some remarks on the late
ness of the period of the stssion, and ’he unwil
lingness of the Committee, a1 this moment, to
engage in the discussion, unless compelled to
do so by a determination of others to denate
the subject, made a motion that the report and
accompanying documents be pi inted
1 he Chair thought some other disposition
of the report must first be made.
Mr. Powell moved to lay the report on the
table, and print it; but withdrew his motion at
the request of
Mr. Drayton, who moved to amend the re
port,by striking out all after the word “Report,”
and insert the following:
1. Resolved, That the State ot Georgia pos
sesses the right to the soil, and the jurisdiction
over the lands within her limit** which are in
the occupancy of the Creek indians.
2. Resolved, That the State ot G*01*1*
the right to extinguish the title la> the an
the Indians within her territory, and to »*£
for them in all eases, subject to the right *
great to “regulate commerce with the 1
tr*3. *Baao/uerf, That the surveying lands in ihe
orcupancy of the Indians, within the imi *
the state of Georgia, and by the authority °
Legislature, is not an inteijfence with lhc 1 ®
of Congress “to tegulate commerce with the
Indian tribes.” _ . f .•
-4. Iirsolved, That the treaty of the
Springs having been executed and ratme >v
the Creek Indians, and having been executed
end ra'ified on the part of the United States, i j
the manner preferibed by the Constitution, ant
never having been constitutionally repealed, a j
the-rights which under it were conveyed to t ie -
Slate of Georgia, are unimpaired at this time.
5th. ResolvedM) lat the President of the Unit
ed States be reqicsted to extinguish the claim
which is set up by the Creek Indians to tie
lands in their occupancy, in the State ot *eor^
gia, which were not comprehended in the rea .
ty of Washington. .
Mr. Drayton accompanied the amendment
with some remarks, disclaiming all to dis
cuss the general subject, but stating he had ill
lered from all the other members of the Select
Committee. Mr. Forsyth went at great length
into a course of strictures on the nature of the
testimony referred to in the report, and on se
veral of the points of the controversy. He was j
replied to by Mr. Powell, who concluded lus
remarks, by moving to lay the report, the reso
lutions with which it concludes, and the a*
meiidinent of Mr. Drayton, or. the table and
print tnern.
The question was di' ided, and the motion to
lay on the table was carried.
The question being then on the printing—
Mr, WicklifTe made some remarks, which,
referring to the merits of the main question,
were pronounced out of order.
Mr. Forsyth objected to the character of part
of the evidence, and opposed the motion to
print.
Mr 'Everett answered—denying that any ma
terial part of the report rested on the par
ticular evidence objected to, and advocated the
printing. ... r
Mr. Haynes made some inquiry in reference
to the details of the evidence proposed to be
printed.
Mr. Everett replied, and stated that there
were certain chasm9 in the series, the reasons
for which, the Committee were unacquainted
with.
The debate was further prosecuted by Messrs.
Haynes, Whittlesey, and Forsyth; in the course
of which Mr. Barney demanded the previous
question, but the House did not sanction the
call; and, after some further remarks of Mr
Forsyth, the priming was ordered.
Mr. Everett moved the printing of 3000 co
pies—6000 also was. moved, and 1000.
The question being taken on 6000—the yeas
were 61, noes 57.
On motioh of Mr. Swan, it was
Resolved, That the thanks of this House he
!»e has piesided over its deliberations, and per
toirr.cd the arduous and important duties of
the Chair.
The Speaker then rose and addressed the
House as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
It was with unaffected diffidence, at the com
mencement of this Congress, that I entered up
on the duties of rhe distinguished station to
which your partiality was pleased to call me.
For the fatorable estimate you have this day
expressed of my official labors. I pray you to ac
cept my most grateful acknowledgements. The
generous support which has been uniformly
given to the decisions ol the Chair, and the in
dulgence which has been extended to me, in
the discharge of every other duty, have left on 1
my heart an imprrssion as enduring as life.
If the deliberations of this Congress have not i
resulted in many acts of great National interest I
it has arisen Iront no omission on the part of|
theRepresentatives of the People to devote their
time and talents to the public service; but is at
tributable, in part, to the happf condition of
the country, which required few changes in its
established policy, and, in part,tj a .difference
of opinion between the two branches of the Le
gislature in regard to some measures of prima
ry importance.
Under your fostering care, however, our es
tablishments for defence, both military and na
val, have advanced towards maturity; the means
of information & commercial intercourse have
been extended; the National Debt has been re
duced; and your b*$t efforts have not been want
ing to afford protection and encouragement to
our navigation and manufactures.
More than two thousand subjects of various
description, presented for legislation, have been
examined and reported upon, by the Commit
tees ol this House, whose valuable and perse
vering labors entitle them to public gratitude.
Although many important bills are arrested in
their progress by th<* termhiation of Congress,
the induitry and intelligence which have been
employed in maturing them, will not be lost.
To the hands of our successors we may safely
confide the doing of whatever the nation shall
require to be done.
With earnest prayers that the sen ices in
which we have been engaged may redound to
the general welfare, that each'of you, under the
guidance of a projecting Frocidence, may men
\our families and friends in health and prosper
ity, and long enjoy the confidtnce and esteem
of your constituents; in closing the session, 1
wish an affectionate farewell.
REPLY TO THE BALTIMORE METHOD
ISI TRUSTEES, Stc.
A; a meeting of the Baltimore Methodist U
nion Society, held on the 26th of December, it
was resolved, that a committee of six preach
ers and six laymen, be appointed to prepare a
reply to a paper lately published, with the sig
natures of sundry local preachers, together with
those of the trustees and stewards, of the Balti
more city station, in opposition to the conven
tion of reformers, for the Stale of Maryland,
and the District of Columbia.
The following persons, members of the Union
Society, were accordingly appointede—Sam«£l
K. Jennings, Alexander McCaine, Daniel “J*
Reese, James R. Williams, William Lesley,
Thomas McCormick, Thomas Mummey, John
J. Harrod, John Kennard, Wesley Starr, fc
phraim Smith, and Arthur Emmerson.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTER.
The convention of reformers in the Mc»ioa
1st Episcopal Church, lor the State of Mary
land and the District of Columbia, which met in
this city, on the fifteenth and sixteenth of No
vember, passed certain resolutions, the design
of which was to shew that the reformers had
good cause to justify their proceedings, in ma
king arrangements for sending up a niemooa
to the next general ronference, praying that
they may be represented in the legislative dc
partinent of our church.
Eleven local preachers, with the trustees and
stewards of the Baltimore city station, in all
twenty-four, signed a paper, in their individual
capacities, and published it, with the appearance
of an official document, as a manifesto, in oppo
sition to- the convention. In that paper they
sav, the publication made by *he convention,
was the proceedings ol a “few local preachers
and lay members,” See. 8cc. We reply.
The convention consisted ofannmber of del
egates from the District of Columbia, and such
reformers from other parts of the State or Ma
ryland, as saw fit to accept the invitation given
for the purpose; and, as a convention, was re
spectable. But the facts and principles pre
sented by the resolutions, to the consideration
of the public, do not rest on the approbation of
numbers. They are supported by their own
truth and intrinsic value. The reformers, how
ever, are not “few” in number. There are
more than “eleven” local preachers, within the
Baltimore city sia'ion, and many laymen, who
approve of the principles advocated by tho re
formers There are many hundreds in this
State, and there ate thousands in the United
States; and the numbers are continually increas
These brethren, it appears, conceived it “ to
he a duly which they owe to the church »nd to
themselves, to declare, that they were in no way
concerned with said convention; and, that they
entirely disapprove of the innovations, which
the reformers propose in the government and
discipline of our church.” _
Their name» ought to have great weight, if
an enlightened community are to be satisfied,
that the convention was wrong in making pro
vision for preparing a memorial to the general
conference, merely, because they were not con
cerned, and disapprove of the measure.
They say, “their confidence in the travelling
ministers remains unimpaired.” And did the
members of the convention say, that they had
lost their confidence in the travelling minis
try? They did not. The resolutions, which
i the manifesto opposes, do most unequivocally
I declare the attachment of the convention to the iti
i nerancy. And our brethren might have known,
had they been attentive to this.controversy from
the beginning, that some of the most distin
guished advocates for the proposed changes in
our church government, are among our travel
ling preachers. # #
They say further, that “ the travelling minis
try have never deprived them of their rights
and privileges; on the contrary, they enjoy all
**—r — itouted for or acquited when they be
came members of the church, they voluntarily
connected themselves with the Methodists, the
terms of membership being known at the time,
and they have had no cause to repent of their
acceptance of Che conditions.”
With whom did they stipulate? And for
what? According to the book of discipline,
“ There is only one condition previously requir
' ed of those who desire admission into these so
cieties, a desire to flee from the wrath to come,
and to be saved from their tinsIf this is con
sidered a stipulation, crur brethren are at liber
ty to plead it in their justification. But every
reader will perceive, that it can be no proper
objection to the proceedings of the convention.
They say, “ they are not disposed to aban
don a system which their best judgment approves,
for visionary theories and uncertain specula
tions.”
Let us examine a few particulars, which con
stitute parts of the " system" that these bre
thren so heartily approve.
1 The travelling ministry possess exclusively
the legislative power, which they exercise over
the whole body of the laity and local preach
ers, without responsibility.
2. The travelling ministry, independently of
the membership, appoint all the class leaders.
3. They nominate all the stewards, and the
quarterly conferences, a majority of which are
class leaders, make their election out of the no
minations of the preachers.
4. They nominate all trustees, and the trus
tees out of the nominations, according to dis
cipline, fill ail vacancies in their boards.
5 They appoint the committeee for the trial of
accused members, and the accused have no le
gal right to object to any person so appointed
by the preachers.
6. In all cases of trial, the travelling preach
er sits as judge. He may summon any accus
ed member to trial, and is not obliged to furnish
the accused with specifications of complaints
or charges, until the parties meet at the time
and place of trial;—thus rendering it impossible
for the accused to prepare for his defence.—
The accused member has no legal right to de
mand a postponement. And however hard the
decision, he must submit, saying only, that he
has an appeal to the quarterly meeting confer
ence, a tribunal so constituud, that a majority
of its members are class leaders, men exclusive
ly appointed to office by the travelling preach
ers. If the preacher’s committee should acquit
the accused, and the acquittal should not meet
the approbation of the preacher, he may carry
up the case to the quarterly meeting conference,
and try the accused member over again, before
that body.
These are only some of the things which per
tain to the “system” which the best judgment
of these brethren approves.
Reformers believe, most religiously, that the
introduction of a general representation, would
produce a system of legislation and administra
tion, which would be more equitable and ac
ceptable. But because they entertain this opi
nion, they are charged with indulging in “vi
sionary theories and uncertain speculations.”
It is said to be “a vain project, because it is
impracticable in the nature of things, to con
form the government of the Methodic Episco
pal Church to the principle* of representation;
that it would destroy the missionary character
of our ministry; and that this impracticability
is fortunate, since if it could be accomplished, it
would be ruinous."
Reformers believe, nevertheless, that the wis
dom of the whole body, collected by means of
a general representation, would be able to per
form the very thing, which these brethren de
clare to be impracticable. The practicability
of it, is proved by our itinerant ministers as it
respeds themselves. They elect one for every
seven members of their annual conferences, to
represent those bodies in the general conference.
And other denominations ol Christians have
lay delegations. A travelling preacher, now a
member of the Philadelphia conference, vene
rable for his years, and celebrated for his talents,
both in the pulpit and the conference, and who
has been, we believe, in every general confer,
ence, has published the following sentiments.
“The writer of this article, is strongly persuad
ed, that every friend of the itinerant ministry, and
system of promulgating the gospel, ought to patron
ize the question of a lav delegation, as being
calculated to promote and uphold and perpetu
ate the itinerancy, belter and longer, than it can
he by rejecting or refusing the lay delegation.
The sooner it be yielded the better, for be ye
well assured, that a lay delegation must ultimate
ly be adopted, or the cause of itinerancy and
union and peace, will be greatly endangered, if
not ruined and destroyed.” And in this opi
nion, of the necessity of a church represents,
tion, he is not alyne; many of oor wisest and
ablest travelling preachers entertain precisely
the same sentiments.
Besides, if it were admitted, that such strange
but “fortunate” impracticability, must await an
attempt to quadrate the government of the
Methodist Episcopal Church with principles,
which are acknowledged on all hands, to be ne
cessary in order to secure the civil liberties of
the people, does it not follow, that thet‘ system,"
is wrong? And if so, does it aot need amend
ment?
These brethren say, however, that “they are
I not to be misled by the specious appeal made
to their political feelings.”
The matchless appeal made in favour of lib
erty try the Declaration of Independence, had
no effect towards changing the political feel
ings of the officers of the crown, in the days of
the revolution. But happily for the reformers,
with the American public, government implies
representation, and official power the consent of
tbe people.
They s^y,“thejr know nothing of the expul
sions which have lately taken place; the instan
ces of mal administration," as they are pleased
to call them. They might have known of them
as an account of. them was published in the
Mutual Rights,a periodical work, issued month
ly in this city, edited by a committee ofrtform
ers. And although these brethren say that the
reformers have said and written and published
what they pleased “with perfect impunity:**
there it a rule in the Methodist discipline,which
has been employed to effect the expulsion of
members in some places for speaking against
the government of the churrh.
In conclusion; we ask, will the good sense of
this enlightened community,justify these breth
ren in denouncing the whole body of reformers
as “disaffected?” Will it bear them out in their
determination, not to enter into any discussions
of the subjecs on which we differ? Will it sus
tain them in their refusal to notice any remarks
we may make on their paper? Is it ’ possible,
that the American people, understanding the
objects of the convention, which was to petition
for an equitable representation, will believe,
that the reformers are the greatest enemies, and
those Wethren the most distinguished and im
portant friends of the Methodist Episcopal
