The view of the operation of stale in solvent laws, having been hastily com menced in this paper oh the 23d, by stating some of their distressing effects; the subject will now be concluded by an attempt to shew? "That these laws do nut enforce the pro^aions of our con stitution, nor proic t the unalienable rights and pri\r leges of our citizens." The Declaration of Independence say-, " Men aic cltdowt il by tluir Crea tor with certain unalienable tights; that among these aic life, liberty, atul the l<u soit of happiness: that to secure these riglns governments are institut ed."

Kvcnts in Kuropc have ruined many of our ci tizen*, and these same events have made immense fortunes for others; is it wise to confirm the fearful distinction made in families here by those distant events? ? distinctions as absolute as could be ^iven hy titles and privileges.

Will congress continue to foreign a gents the power of holding thousands ol useful and entcrpi ising t itizinsin bon dage without end? Will they be ileal to the cries of those wren bed nun who art ground to the caith by their more for tuna'c neighbours? Will they condemn all the honest insolvents ot" the United States, to the punishment of the fraudu lent uncertificated bankrupt of Eng land? How would the guardians of our rights consider a man who should take from nis debtor an obligation xprisscd in these v\ ords: Six months after date I promise to pay A. 11. or order, without -defalcation, | oik* hundred dollars; and if by the visi tations of 1'rovidcncc, or through the evils of this life, 1 should be unable ful ly to pay the sainc, 1 hereby pledge my sclf, body and soul, to be imprisoned at the pleasure of the said A.

Tlie lights ht? e surrendered, they *. ould say, J ?? at ?: io their nature unalienable, be cause no equivalent can be given or re reived for them," and it would be dis m i .sod as altogether uneonsiiiutioual and illegal. A in ?n who in Hurope would in a few v?c(ks be restored to liberty, and re-es tabhsiied in his rights of acquiring, pos sessing, and protecting property and re puta'ioii, and of pursuing his own hap piness, is here kept for lite a moving i ancei in the body politic, destroying t hat-substance which he cannot produce, eating that bread which he is not pci nutti <1 to earn. A i riuunal cannot be twice put in jeo pardy lor the same offence. Vet how often arc a man's little comforts and subsistence torn from him for the same misfoitune. A criminal lias a right to he heard, and h:?? council provided for him, and can demand the nature and cause of the accusation against him, Sec. nor can he he deprived of liberty or of the right of aojuiring, possessing, and protecting property and reputation, and pursuing his own happiness, but by the judgment of bis pvcrs. ?

Murder and misfortune are two ol ftnees which death must expiate! hut the murderer, as the less atrocious, may he pardoned by the executive, but who is to pardon the forlorn object of pitiless misfortune? Forlorn indeed lliou art and destitute ! I mark the agitating rendings ol thy heart, while thy hapless family s?t i etc li forth their hands from the waters ol de solation, and pitcously cling to thee lor protection and succour. Yet tin: bed where "nature's sweet nstoicr" as suages, the agony ol thy lace rated bo som, and stills the sobs ol the patient partner of thy woe: the cradle where re poses thy loveel nilant " in misi ry eloubly dear:" and the table which hears toy bitter pittance, often provided l>y the oommisseration of a pn> ing li u nd, >nall all be torn Iroin tliec the moment they are: tuinc. The endearing sound " it is my own," must not pass my lips; this consolation shall never reach thy heart. Losses and misfortune have forever ruined thy credit. Thy integrity is tar nished to the eye of many a 44 fat and gieasy citizen," because thou hast com plied with the laws of thy country, for as 14 charity covers a multitude of sins," so dots calamity obscure many viiuics. The stat^ is thy pt ison; beyond it thou art an outlaw. Thou canst acquire nei ther liberty, property, r.or' reputation, nor pursue thy own happiness. Thy life is passed in unavailing effotts, in un ceasing struggles, " Throwing buckets into empty wells. " And growing old in drawing nothing up." Still thou bowest with resignation, beneath the chastening hand of Heaven, but the hoof of thy country grindctli thee to the earth. And do the insolvents of the United States yet snore in their chains? Why do they not rouse and respect fully solicit the national legislature, who only waits to hear their voice to restore to them their unforfeited, unalienable rights. llave their miseries sunk them be low t ffort? Art- they so paralized as not to have vitality sufficient among them to resist putielac ion? x Can they crawl no fuither than to the Juggernaut of state laws that is crush ing them by thousands! ?? and peep kbout " To find themselves dishonorable graves?" My interrupted and unpractised hard shall sketch this view no further. Does any wi-h to see the original?

Mr. I ,oundes, from the committee or? foreign relation;), delivered in the fol lowing report: The committee to whom has been ie ferred so much of the president's nr s sagc, at the commenceuient ot the ses sion, as relates to loreign affairs, respct i fully report, That tin ir attention was directed, im mediately upon tl.eir appoiutim nt, to the state ol the relations ot tne Unit-d Statts with Spain, and that their delay in making a report upon them must ho attributed to their wish " to afford an opportunity to such friendly commu nications, during the present session of congress," as the government ot* Spain had authorized us to expect. They thought it better that congress should postpone its determination until events mig'it enable it to make that de finitive, than that it should pass n con tingent act for authorizing measures which it was not proposed immediately to execute; that it should found its detet - initiation upon relations ase< rtain?*d to exist, than upon a calculation of events which might be expeued to occui du - ing its sitting.
