Mr. Randotth said he had listened with atten tion to the observations of the gedtleman from N. York MrMitchill The gentlemans reasons, if there is any weight in them, are in favor of letters . of marque an4 fepnsai, but not in favor of the ruinous measure now under consideration. When -the 'gentleman, justifies himself, in shielding him elf under authority, in his approbation of the mea - aure he should have supposed be ouglt to have been influenced by. the ahority of a respectable gentleman, meaning the vice president) first in .war, first ifl peafctr find first 1n th hearts of his .countrymeni, within the state of New: York, who is nw insensible jo the distresses of the country. The gentleman says, we ought to take our stand among the belligerents. We cannot take this stand. We are but a young people. We are just emerg ing from a revolution a revolution Which was soon succeeded by an European war, which has bee to us, like the drainings .of a farm yard, y liich has enriched ns beyond measure which has raised our hamlets and villages to first rate cities. To this we owe our present greatness. To this we ewe the language lite gentleman has this erening used. Sir, what has been the fate of those nations . who have undertaken to take their stand among the belhgertts. Tfifey have become like humble gun boats, in the wake of European belligerents. What has become of Prussia I she is extinct "What of Austria I she is crippled. What of Bus 8ia ? she with a territory and population far beyond , ours, has been anxious to take the stand which the gentlema wishes but she dare not. , Sir, we may tome to the war under the name of allies : but we ahall be the first servants of-those whose cause e -espouse. We may escape this conflict with hon or What is honor in a nation! is. if honor to cope with thosr who .are so jjreaUy our superiors? It is our duty and interest to wait.

Mr.ldilncult. -Ajorher Atlilk, with a Tartar horde, Milnor said, he could not see why this measure, the declared precursor of almost immediate war.i and therefore involving: considerations of awful ! moment to the whole community, should be treat ed in a different way.

I He said be abhorred concealment, and therefore would frankly avow, that as the committee of for eign relations had made known their intention to submit this proposition,Nand as he had no doubt that many persons whose ships and eargoes were nearly ready,. for foreign voyages, would avail themselves of the informatien, one object of his feeling anxious for aome delay was, that they might effect their wishes before this pernicious measure should be carried into effect. Dut independent of this consideration, certainly full opportunity of discussion could not be afford ed to members if a vote were take. , to night : and without bearing any reflection on gentlemen, Mr. M. thought they would be better capacitated af ter the repose of an adjournment for a cool and deliberate decision.
