TUE.NO. AKFA1R. 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 JTJtli j!t Umyjij. neST, ir,TUW J'peiB, nmy inyj v 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 a . a k . act-of iwnng-tromnfrj-a-svtolatt' of privilege, which merits the censure of this house.

The Pott Matter GmeraL... .Mr. Mac Liah, the present Post Matter General, was appointed to that office by Mr- Mon roe and aucb is the reputation which he has gained for himself as a public officer of-grot ability, Industry and in tegrity, that he has eitorted the praise of oil psrties. Under all former admin istrations, the Poi Office Department was a burden to thr public tresiuiy ; but under hir.

And now that this bloodhound has been let upon the Track of that' excel lenr officer,' we presume every kennel of tbe .Administration, will be. thrown open. and Mr. M'Lean "hunted down."

McLean has published a Card, in reply to the charges alleged againut htm; in the course of which, he lays : 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, or-o-omplicatd in-4ts-de tails, I ts 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 tration. And he takes this occasioo to remark, that he has conversed with the President (for whom, since JlisJ acquaintance, lie las never asej fcil the greatest rtspctl) ou ti, ,u, ject of patronage, and was happy K find that the view here presented wa approved, " ' f ... ' Is regard to the negligent manner in which the duties of the Post Mss. ter General have been performed, so broadly charged, he haa onlv to re mark, that it has not been io his power to do more service than he has per. formed. Ilia nights as well as days have, been Jevqted to his duties. Many have doubtless done more, frsmV their superior ability to serve the nub Hcyhut no ohejvho tiaf tot becti rtedZ from the exhausfed calls of nature, bas" chrroted moTrhouTt to thembfrc iji arj-j he has done.

If these results will not excuse hint from the charge of inattention to hit duties, they will be viewed, at least, in mitigation. He i ready to answer the public for the minutest transaction of hia Department. Although there are more than seven thousand collrc. tors f the revenue .f the Department, or a strict examination there will be found to be as little l ss in the collec tion of its revenue, as haa ever beco sustained by the government in col tcctii'g the same amount."
