HOUSE OF REPRES&XTATIl'ES,
Tuesday, June 20.
NON-FNTERCOURSE ACT.
Amendment permitting armed vessels of
'joth f ranceand England, underconsideration.
Mr. Gold. This amendment, as to England,
our state of amicable negotiation will justify
its provision as proper ; but as to France, we
see no such amicable disposition manifested to
.-.rake it apply to hrr, arid I fear we will not.
What does this; bill propose ? That there shall
e a non-intercourse in co- merce, as it regards
France, yet her armed skips, her public vessels
are to be admitted into our waters. Is it con
sistent with the ground taken on the last ses
sion of Congress, for excluding armed vessels?
That ground was not taken on account of vio
lence committed by such in our waters, but
upon the ground ofcommerc'anon-intercourse;
to exclude all nations having in force orders or
edicts in violation of our commercial rights ;
and thiaTiad a like common application to both
belligerents. To admit the armed national
shipping of a nation and exclude her mer
cantile shipping will present a perfect anomaly.
The only ground which can guard us against
the charge of partiality to foreign nations is to
have a broad principle of action which we must
not deviate from. But if this amendment is
adopted, it will be an abandonment of that im
partial principle we enacted at last session of
Congress.
Mr. LoVit I am of opinion with the gen
tletnan just sat down, if the amendment could
be viewed as submission to France we should
reject it ; but I think it is but justice to France
and England in our present state of foreign
affairs. When we enacted the measure of ex
clusion, it was not considered an act of hostili
ty to either nation, but an act of impartial re
striction and justice towards ourselves. It was
urged" as a precursor to negotiation by Great
Britain, not that we should act hostile. to
France, but that we should place both nations
on an equality, and we did so : now apply; the
principle at the present session id France.-
.The gfentleraa contended that the interdict
should be continued against France'and discon
tinued with England., but this-might lead to a
war with the former power. 1 would now ask
whit act has France done to merit this seve
rity from us? ' But we are not in the same re
lation with Franc that we wrrelmt session ;
it is intimated that ameliorations are aht?ut to
take place In h r decrees, we have akncwle'dg''
"f sundry vessels being,!iberaud in htr ports ;
nd a proclamation of the kirg pf Holland, a
dependent upon France, shews a return oi re
gard for neutral rights : We should not widen
the breach ; Besides, we are not sure that e
ven the British government will fulfil its en.
gagements to thf extent we were given to ex
pect. I am asared that "France will rescind
her orders ; thev were enacted to injure the;
oommerce of Britain j and their perseverance
in now would but assist her. Nay, I think the
decrees say, that they shall cease whenever G.
Britain abandons hrr unjust principles, and
rrtnrns to a sense of respect for neutral rights.
Mr. LlVEitM ore. At the late session of
Congress it was said if we submit to illegal de-'
rees, it would be an abandonment of national
honor : What were we to do? Have resort' to
war, no ; yet something must be done ; and a
non-intercourse law was produced it speaks
for itself it was considered a hostile measure
against both France & England but authorised
he President, if either oi those nations should
rescind their decrees -or orders, this hostile
measure would be revoked as regarded them ?
But would it toe contended that when one did
so, this revocation applied as related to both".
This restriction was viewed as a hostile mea
sure, acting against both the countries in
question, to cease on the rescinding of either
f their unlawful acts, as related to them. The
President informs us G. Britain has annulled
hers, and that it must cease as relates to her.
his is the factthen as Great-Britain made
this stipulation on the faith of cur law, would
she not as part of her bargain, insist that our
interdict should continue against France, as
such interdiction would be advantageous to
her, until France, according to the law, should
rescind her decrees. Tht gentleman w ho spekt
last, was afraid to offend our sister France
and indeed, I believe this was a measure
meant to sooth her. T he gentleman asks whai
has France done i The decree of Berlin itself,
was a sufficient justification, if not f war, of
the interdict hj tended to be repealed by this act.
Mr. Randolph. This law appears to be a
very flimscy coverlid to our national naked
mcs4 A proposition is made lest cbscurm
should arise, to admit the armed ships ol
Fiance and Great-Britain, and to this I will
give mv negative. I understood the inhibition
f last session was to repeal the outrages of thi
bll'gerents, tho' I confess I am no tnend to
titarkine 74 cUn-ships with paper. France has
still in force ner rdictsauihorising the capturt
of our ships bound to or from England or e
ven spoken to by a British man of war, and
'est she should not have opportunities enough
to depredate on us we will dpeif our ports for
her succor and extend toher the rights of hos
pitality, that after they recruit they mav go out
and will take our vessels at the very mouth of
our harbours. Though I dont think ?t con
trary conduct to this would ever keep out the
Patriot, or other ship yet I am unwilling to
give them the right and title to enter. I wis!
to see when the relaxations on the part of
France tan authorise this relaxation on our
part. What do' the 11th section of the nnn-
intercourse law sav i i nat " wntn eitner
power shall rescind her restrictions a9 they re
late to us, we will rescind ours as thev relate
to her: this is now our situation: and it is
proposed to change this situation by expressly
admitting the ships of G. Britain and France
into our ports and harbours ; to that while the
President of the United States has very wise
ly and ve-y property changed the situation ot
relations between this country and Great-Britain,
we are to change it with respect to France
so as to keep the balance even between both.
.UipU3C IUC 11131 IldAAllUU tltUf VVUIGT 1
France, and the President had suspended re
strictions with respect to her, what would be
said, if we would extend this relaxation to G.
Britain to preserve a balance between the on
who had and the one who had not come upon
terms? I want lo ite the relaxations of France,
that authorise our relaxations towards her $ or
why we should admit her armed hhips and ex
clude her merchantmen. I must not be un
derstood as wishing a war with France. 1
would as strongly oppose a measure of that
kind as I did in 98, 99, 1 hOO, and as I did
last session a war vmli England . but situated
as we are with respect; to France; Jt will be.
highly improper to pass a law opening our
ports to French vessels. , v:' "f
Mr. J G, J A?keONy -It will be recollected
I had on a former occasion stated it would be
more compatible with our dignity to prohibit
the admission of armed, vessels of all nations,
but gentlemen think that under present circuain
?. ..s:
stances, on the tapis of negotiation, uhen evei
(J measure is liable to perversion, it would bo
best to pursue the present policy, and it was ott
these suggestions-that f made the amendment '
ti obviate 'any difficulties' of tonetroction-a
