The following ia the substance of
the report made by Mr. Mc Duffle
from the ma'ioritV of the committee
appointed to investigate the affair he
twecn Col. Jarvia and young John
Adams t '
The select committee, to whom
waa referred the measage of the pres
ident of the United States relative to
the assault committed on his , private
ar-eretarv. made a report to the house
of repreaentatives on the 16th ult.,
It was proved, to the satisfaction of
the committee, uut-jun.. jaryia,
VaYverV neiRo MrAdams whett he
made use ! of tb-Mlfniv JajngPge,
aod that she as well aa other persona

who-accdmpanled -Mr; Jarvis inter
prcted the language of Mr. Adams aa
an insult offered to the whole party,
and it aeema that Mr. Jarvia acted,
throughout the whole of the transac
tioo, under the aanie impression."
It waa also stated to the committee
by Mr. Adams and Mr. Stetaon,
' that Mr. Adama did not use the of.
fensive language relative to Mr. Jar.
via, with a view of injuring the feel
inga of the ladies who accompanied
him, nor, indeed, with a knowledge
that it waa overheard by them."
The committee then proceed, "Up
on a view of all the circumstancea the
committee are of the opinion that the
assault was committed by Mr. Jarvis
upon the private aecretary of the pres
ident whatever may have been the
causea of provocation, was an act done
ia contempt of the authority - and dig
ohyof this hotnepnvofvinir not-only
a violation of its own peculiar priv
ileges; burof the immunity- which "It
is bound, upon every .principle, to
guaranty to the person selected by the
president- the organ of his official
communication to-congcesu- It is of
the Utmost Importance that the officTaT
intercourse between the-president and
the legislative department should not
be liable to interruption. The pro-
eeedings -of - congress -could - not - be
more effectually arrested by prevent
ing the members of either house from
going to the hall of their deliberatioj
ft
than they might be by preventing
president from making official commu
nications essentially connected with the
legislation of the country."
The committee farther state, that,
in the case under consideration, the
private aecretary, 'after having tleliv-
ered a message from the president,
waa in the act of retiring, and almost
within the very verge of this hall,
when the assault was committed up.n
him. The house was in session, and
the person who committed the assault
i - -
went immediately from the hall in
waa in the enjoyment of a privilege
conceded -to him, in, common with
Others, who ire. engaged in . reporting
the proceedings f the bouse."
The c6mmliteeVhoever,"come ' to
the conclusion, that though thev think
the Conduct of Mr. Jarvis obnoxious
to the censure of the house, yet they
can hardly suppose that he waa con
scious, at the time of committing the
assault, that he was offering a contempt
to its authoritv. And as the commit
tee are aware that many persons, for
whose opinions they have very- great
reapect, entertain the belief that the
assault in question was not a violation
of any privilege of the house, they
think they are required, by the spirit
of moderation and indulgeuce in which
this power should always be exercised,
to give Mr. Jarvis the benefit of the
most favorable presumption, as to his
viewa and intentions, touching tbe
rights and privileges in question."
The report concludes with the foU
lowing reaolutiona:
Retohcd, The the assault committed
by Kusel Jarvis on the ' person of
John Adams, the private aecretary of
the presidentj-iriH he-rotund a-of-the
capitol immediately after the said
John Adams had delivered ! measage
from the preaident to the house of rcp
resentatives, and while he was in the

of this house.

As to the char'gr of prostituting the
.patronage of his office, the post Master
General on the broadest grounds defies
the world. All the other branches of
the Government united, do not control
a patronage so extensively distributed,

results are seen in every neighborhood
of the Union, and he boldly . de fies
any one to name a single act which has
not been done with, an exclusive view
to the public interest. He may have
been mistaken So the act but not in the
motive If there ia any one -act for
which he entertains-a deeper detesta
tion than airother s, it is the 'prosti t u
tion of u trust hclcl for thepablic ben-
efitj'to selfish and unworthy purposes.
I nere is no object sufficiently elevated
to present ji temptation to him on. this
score. He will prostitute his trust
neither for nor against any adminis

to remark, that he has conversed with

acquaintance, lie las never asej

in mitigation. He i ready to answer
