The House next proceeded to the election of a clerk, when the votes its re for Nicholas B Vanzandr Patrick Magrudcr, James Elliot, J- VV Kir,ff, 37 26 IS 16 14 5 1 "No person having a majority of Votes, & Mr. Vanzandt had 52 votes. A third ballot was about to take plce, iv hen Mr. Randolph rose, and after sta ting his reluctance for irourjlmg the House, informed them that the per son who had a plurality of votes, had violated his duty as assistant clerk, by listening to the deba es, with do ted doors, and publishing his infor mation thus iifLvinmlw rvi-vtoln,! From this motive he objected to his election to so important an office After various remarks, a third bal loting was held, and Patrick Mac; Cruder had 52 votes, and at the 4ih he had 72, and! was consequently elected. Tcesday, October 27. At 12 o'clock, the message of the President was delivered by his Secre tary (a copy of which was published in our last) which, after being read, was commuted to a committee of ti e whole houseon the state of the Union, h. 1000 copies ordered to be printed. Thomas Dunn was then elected Serjeant at Arms, Thomas Claxton, Doorkeeper, and JeSse Edwards As sistant Door-keeper. Mr. Dawson moved the appoint ment of the standing committee, but & difference of opinion arising whe ther they should be named by the Speaker as heretofore, or ejected by ballot, the appointment was postponed till to-morrow A committee was formed to wait on the President. The rules of the last ; session were adopted and the House adjourned. Wednesday, t-'etober 28 The unfinished business of yester oay li-specing the appointment of standing committees, was taken up , and the amendment of Mr. Blouns Directing their election to be by bal lot, being under consideration, Mr, Blount said he did not think it necessary to use any arguments in support f his motion, but, as he considered it as embracing an im portant principle, he would take the liberty of calling for the yeas and nays upon it. The yeas and nays were agreed tn hi- taken. vh. n the rinciiin ing called for, the Speaker stated to the house that the clerk had not yet prepared an alphabetical list of the members, so that he could not pro ceed to call the names of members in the manner prescribed by the rules of the house. Mr. Blount supposed it would make no difference if the names of the members should be called by States. He only wished to see how gentlemen who had so strenuously advocated the ballotting for these committees heretofore would now vote. He hoped the house would unanimously agree to dispense with the rule of the house on this occasion. The question was put, but there being a few negatives the rule could not be dispensed with. Mr. Blount declined withdrawing the motion for taking the yeas and nays, and an alphabetical list was directed to be prepared $lr. Thomas was informed that it trould take half an hour to make out the proposed list, and as there was other business on the table, he moved that the present motion should lie on the table for one hour Mr. Van Cortlandt thought this a novel procedure. He- believed it jvou.d not be ,n order to postpone tht business except to a day certain. JV B that a motion Tfce tattle tor lying fi it iMe was carried) there being 76 votes in favour of it. After some remarks from Mr, R D. Williams, answered by Mr. Ran dolph, respecting he furnUhing the members with newspapers, the fol lowing resolution was agreed to : Reselved, That the clerk be di rected to obtain newspapers from a-, ny number f office Tvhich members may direct, provided the expence does riot exceed tht amount of the price of three daily newspapers " The Speaker informed the house that the clerk had prepared n al phabetical list of the members. Mr, Blount's amendment respect ing committees was uken up & lost, yeas 24, nays 37. The original re solution, vesting the power with the Speaker, was agrted to, and commit teesjwere appointed as follow : Of Elections, Messrs. Findley, Williams, (S. C.) M.

A communication was received from the Secretary "of the Treasu y enclosing an account of the extra expences incurred in the Navy De partment since the 52d day of June last, for the year 1807, which was ordered to be printed.

York, praying for an appropria tion for the fortification of the city of N York, accompanied by several resolutions expressive of their opi nion, that the commercial and agri cultural inteiests of that Sta'e are equally affected by its unprotected situation. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Rhea (Ten.) offered the fol lowing resolution, which was agreed to and ordered to be printed : " Resolved, That the committee on Public Lands do enquire into the expediency of laying off and describ ing certain metes and bounds, the tract of country to which the Indian title has been extinguished within the limits of Louisiana, and to in clude all the settlements within the said territory, and of havi the said tract ot country laid; off into town ships and sections. Half and quarter sections, asrrecfblv to the sr-i laws heretofore made for surveying me pumic lancsot the U. States ; 8c also to enquire into the expediency of granting one quarter of a section to every free male white person who now resides thereon, or who will within years actually improve & reside thereon.' Mr. Dawson moved that the house snould go into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Thomas wished this business might be laid over; till to-morrow. Gentlemen had not yet had sufficient time to examiae the President's communication. The house agreed t go into com mittee of the whole, there bsing 47 for it, and 42 against it. The Speaker called Mr. Dawson to the chair ; but he declined, sta ting that he had prepared some reso- i01 VVh'Ch he as about to offer Mr. Basset was then requested to taKc the chair ; and Mr.Dawsoa offered the foHowinr resolutions : l. Rcs$lvcdy That so much of the message of the President of the U. S. as relates to aggressions committed within our ports and waters by fo reign armed vessels; to theviolations of our jurisdiction ; and the measures accessary for tile prf teeti. ,f evjr I JfSftl Cmtl fcarbtfi, be reFtWi to f select committee, 2y Resolved That so much of said message as relates to violations of oUr maritime rights, to impositions on, or interdictions of our neutral rights, be referred to the Committee of Commerce and Monufactures, , 3. Resolved, That so touch of said message as relates to our intercourse with the Indian Tribes, be reftrred to a Select Committee. 4. Resolved, That so much of said message as relates to our military & naval establishments, be referred to a Select Committee, 5. kes$lvcd, That so much of said message as relates to our finances be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. 6. Resolved, That so much of said' me5Satre as relates to the enterprise against the public peace, and the means of preventing the same, and of punishing their auth, be refer red to a Select Committee, The first resolution being under consideration, Mr. Quincy thought this resolution embraced objects unconnected with each other, and objects of magnitude sufficient to warrant a separation of them. He submitted with deference to the committee, the propriety of referring whatever relates to the at tack on the Chesapeake to a Select Committee. Upon this view of the sabject, he would offer an amend ment to the resolution in question. He wished to add after the word ' re solved,' " That so much of the message of the President of the U- S, as relate to the attack made on the frieate Chesapeake to a Select Committee, and that the committee be instructed to enquire into the circumstances of that attack, the causes assigned for making it, and the manner in whic it was repelled, and to report the re sult of such enquiries in detail to this Houe." He added a few remarks, in which he observed that he thought the honor- of the nation deeply concerned and hopedthe affair would not be hud dled up,butthat a properexaminatiou would tak- plac. The Chairman olid not consider rhe proposed amendment as u substi tute for the original motion, k there fore in order. Mr. Alston could not conceive the object of the motion. Does the gen tleman wish, he asked, to cramp the operations oft he committee, by giving them his special instructions ? He hoped no Mep would be taken which wnuld be calculated to narrow the en quiries of this important committee. After some observations by Mr. Dawson on the same side, which were answered by Mr. Quincy, as well as those of Mr. Alston, " The amendment was rejected, withouta division. The following resolutions were ad pted V Resolved, That a commjfftee be ap po nted to enquire whether any and what alterations are necessary in the bill establishing a post office It post roads within the U. S. and that they report by bill orotherwLe. Resolved, l'hai tht House will, at 12 o'clock to morrow, proceed to bal lot for a Chaplain to Congress on pan, Friday, October 30.
