Congressional Proceedings.
Ft'om the National Intelligencer.
MONDAY, APRIL 22,
IN SENATE.
Mr. Haggles, from the committee of
Claims, reported a bill for the relief of
Joseph Forrest; which was read.
REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS.
The senate took up in committee of
the whole, Mr. King of Alab. in the
chair, the bill from the house of repre
sentatives, supplementary to the acts of
1818 and 1820, allowing pensions to rev
olutionary soldiers. &c.
[Under the act of 1820, several thou
sand pensioners were stricken from the
pension roll, who were deficient in the
proofs necessary to entitle them to be
continued on the roll. Subsequently,
those so stricken off presented further
proofs in support of their right to enjoy
the benefits of the act of 1818; but
the attorney genera,1 whose opinion was
taken in the case by the Secretary of
War, decided that the persons who had
been struck from the roll, under the
act of 1820, could not, even on the ad*
duction of further proof, be restored
thereto by the Secretary of war, inas
much as the Secretary’s authority had
ceased, as related to them. And the
present bill was intended to “authorize
and require the secretary oi war 10 re
store to the list of pensioners the name
of any person who may have been, or
i hereafter shall be, stricken therefrom,
• in pursuance of the act of 1820, when
ever such person, so stricken from the
| list of pensioners, shall furnish evidence
in pursuance of the provisions of said
act, to satisfy the Secretary of War
that he is In such indigent circumstan
ces as to be unable to support himself
without the assistance of his country.’]
The committee on pensions, to which
this bill had been referred, reported
the same with a recommendation that
the bill be indefinitely postponed; and
the question was on agreeing to this re
commendation.
On this question a debate ensued,
which continued nearly two hours —
The indefinite postponement was op
posed by Messrs. Dickerson and Morrill;
and it was supported by Messrs. Noble
and Brown of Louisiana, The question
being taken on the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill, it was decided in the
affirmative,
YEAS 26,
NAYS 12,
So the bill was rejected,
The engrossed bill to provide for the
selection of a site on the western wa
ters, far the establishment of a national
armory, was read the third time, passed,
and sent to the House of Representa
tives for concurrence.
The bill making apprt>priations for
support of government for the year
1822, was read the third time as amen
ded, passed, and returned to the House
for concurrence in the amendments
NAVY APPROPRIATIONS.
The Senate then according to the or
der of the day, took up in committee of
the whole, Mr. Barbour in the chair,
the bill from the House of representa
tives making appropriations for the sup
port of the navy, for the year 1822 —
To this bill the committee of Finance of
the Senate, to which it had been re
ferred, reported an amendment, provi
ding that “ each ration not actually
drawn be rated at twenty cent*”
On this amendment, (which attects
the compensation of the officers only of
the navy, as the men never commute
their rations for money,) an extended
discussion took place, embracing the
general question of a reduction of the
emoluments of the officers, the expedi
ency of doing so in this bill, or at this
time, the discrimination proper to be
made in the allowances to officers at
home and on foreign service; a compar*
ison of the pay, and the composition and
value of the rations of the navy, and
those of the army. Mr. Holmes of Me.
advocated the amendment at much
length, and repeatedly, and he was re
plied to at large by Messrs. Pleasants
and Van Buren. Mr, Chandler also
made a few remarks favorable to the
amendment, and Messrs, Parrott and
King, of N. Y opposed it.
Mr. Lowrie spoke in favor of the a*
mendment, but was willing to make a
discrimination, which he submitted as
an addition to the amendment, in the
following words : “Except to officers
“ in actual service at sea, in which ca*
“ ses the ration, if not drawn in kind,
“ shall be rated at txoentyffive cents."
This was adopted without objection;
and,
Thus modified, the original amend*
mentwas agreed to—ayes 16, noes 12,
The bill was then reported to the Se
nate, and the amendment was concur
red in. *
Some converatioo took place between
Messrs. Pleasants and Holmes, af Me.
touching the sufficiency of appropriae
tion to cover the espence of an addi
tional force to suppress piracy and
smuggling*
Mr. Johnson, of Louisiana, inquired
if there was any specific sum appropria
ted for that purpose) if there was not he
should move one, and then went to
shew the necessity of maintaining a con
siderable force in the West India seas
for that object; adverting to the facili
ties there for piratical depredations,
their enormity, and prevalence at'this
time.
Mr. Pleasants moved the following
additional item: “For the purpose of
enabling the President of the United
States, in case he shall think it neces
sary, to send an additional naval force>
for the suppression of piracy and the
prevention of smuggling, jf 120,000.
Mr. Brown, of Lou* united with his
colleague in the absolute necessity of
taking effectual measures to suppress
• the dreadful outrages on the citizens
| and oommerce of the United States,
! which were now so common in the
j West India seas* He stated that he
had recent and authentie information
1 from that quarter, that piracy has
greatly increased in frequency of oc
currence and in its ferocity of charac
ter, notwithstanding all that bad been
done to cut it up. - The acts of plonder
were now almost invariably accompan
ied by the murder of the plundered; *
and the numerous keys and inlets of
those seas afforded every facility for the
perpetration of those crimes.
After a few words from Messrs. Wil«
iams, of Ten. and Lowrie, the bill was,
on motion, laid on the table.
On motion of Mr. Smith, the Senate
proceeded to fill a vacancy in the Judi
ciary Committee, occasioned by tbe ab
sence of Mr. Otis; and Mr. Ware was
appointed.
The Senate spent some time on Ex
ecutive business; and then
Adjourned
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. F. Johnson, from the commit
tee on the Post Office and Post Roads,
reported a bill to establish certain post
roads, and to discontinue others; which
was twice read and committed.
Mr. Smith, of Md. from the commit*
tee of Ways and mean*, reported a bill
relating to treasury notes, which was
twice read and ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading.
[This bill provides, “That, from and
after the passing of this act, no Treasury
Note shall be received in payment on
aocountofthe United States, or paid
or funded, except at the Treasury of
the United States.”
Mr. 'Scott, from the Committee on the
Public Lands, to whom was referred a
bill from the Senate to enable the hol~
ders of incomplete French and Spanish
titles to lands in Missouri to institute
proceedings to try the validity of their
titles, 4*c, reported the same with sun
dry amendments; and the bill and a
mendments were referred to a commit*
tee of the whole.
Mr. Hardin, from the select commit
tee, on the subject of Retrenchment, re
ported in part, a bill the object of which
is to reduce the Revolutionary Pensions,
for all grades of rank , from and after a
given day in the year 1824, to d4 per
month.
The bill (which, Mr. H. computed,
would, if passed, effect a saving of 900,
000 dollars for the first year it got into
operation, and proportionably thereaf
ter,) was twice read and committed
Mr. Hardin giving notice of his inten
tion to call up this bill, and the one pre*
viously reported by the same committee
on Wednesday neat.
Mr. Buchanan presented a resolution
of the Legislature of Pensylvania, in
structing its Senators and requesting its
Representatives to endeavor to procure
the passage of a law for vesting in that
state any right which the United Staten
have, or may be supposed to have, iz»
the fines assessed on the Militia pf that
state; and the resolution was referred to'
the committee of this House appointed
on the same subject. *
Mr. Warfield meved the following:
Resolved, That a committee be ap
to report the best mode, in their opin»
ion, of giving to the public a full and cor*
rect statement of the debates in this
House.
And the question being taken there*
on, it was agreed to without debate or
opposition.
Mr Scott laid on tke table the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the
United States be requested to communi
cate to this House whether any, and if
any how much revenue has accrued to
the United States from the leases of lead
mines in Missouri; whether any lease,
promise, or agreement, is now in force
for ony lead mine in Missouri, and the
