attention .of the committee until half past

reported, and obtained leave to sit again.
After much preliminary, business, the
. House jresohed itself into a committee of
the whole on the bill to establish an uni
form system of Bankruplcy. ' '
:Mr; Wright '.rose ; and addressed the
. Chair, in, a speech of about two hours, in
opposition to the motion to strike out jhe
first section of the bill, when he was suc-
ceeded oo thd same side by ,

Mr. TaTlor,;of -N. remarked, that
h e had thought . the time had nearly ar
' -rived In which it was proper for the House
ll to expect the report of the committee of
V the whole on this bill.' The subject had
I been, a long time debated ; and- although
I I be had listened .with patience and plea
k sure to thableargumeots that bad been
made bnjhe question, yet he would sug
gest to the friendsof the btll whether there
was not danger, by protracting a decision
on iu that they, might- experience a fate
. like that .of the generalwhb wasted in
, v deliberations In the camp that time he
. should have employed in gathering laurels
' ca the field. ' Mr. T. had intended to ex-
- toress his sentiments on the sabiect : but.
; lrom the course it had taken, his pijrpose I
had been changed, and he could not but ?
hope that, when the House went next in
to committee, they would not rise agaia -
until theKVimmary .qucittoii uonndek'
discussion (shouldbe determined. -fHe
made these observations, therefore with ;
the hopertha there-would be jo-morrow
a full liousr, : prepared to decide on, the
question, v; , ,vv ,. ,vV- .i.- - -Mr.
Sergeant concurred in,many of tpe
sentiments advanced 1 by ? the gentleman
from New-York;- (Mr; Taylor); but he
thought this was a subjett, in regard to
whichi from its nature, the House must.
regulate how, fa rand to what length the:
debate should be extended.v He could not
farbear, however, to notice that the sub
ject of tbVbill, though sevecjdr years onv
inejrapi?, nau r.erv receive" uu
fair discussion or-ttecisinn, and that it had
nof really occupied at this ses"tm as much
of the time of the; House as would appear,
inasmuch as it had. been often put aside
to giveaway .to other business, that seemed
to press upon the House. He would fur
ther observe,' that the', advocates of the
motion, who. were . opposed to the bill,
Were principally first heard, and perhaps
ifc'. would be l)ut Justice that its friends
should be heard in reply; ' Although he
accorded with the. general; sentiment ad
yancedvby his friend, from Ne w-Yci k, yet
he Hopejl the hpuse would not fix ; with
precision the day or the hour on which

. After a faw further remarks by Messrs.
Taylor and Sergeant, the committee ob
tained leave to sit again. ' v
THURSDAY, MARCH 7. (
Mr. Sergeant, from a committee here
tofore appointed, to inquire whether the ,
Bank of the United States has . not been
in the practice of loaning money, cc. at a
greater interest than at the 'rate of 6 per
cent, per annum, made the fullovf ing re
prrt thereon: . f.. -
The Committee on the Memorial of the Bank
; of .the ; Uniied States, to whom was refer
red a resolution, directing them to inquire
, whether the Rank of the United States
has not taken, and is not in the practice of
taking, more than six-per centum per an
nurti, for or upon its loans or discounts"-
- Report : " , r v . ;
That, having inquired into the facts deem
ed tu be material in relation to the question )
proposed in the resolution, thev find,
1." That it is. and. from the establishment
of the Bank of the United States, has been,
the practice of that Bank,' in calculating the
Miscount upon a note payable ,a certain num
ber of days after the date, to compute the
interest upon a month of thirty days and the
fractions of such a month ; thus, 1 per cent,
is charged for sixty days. . , !'-
In this respect the Bank has conformed to
the established, and it is believed, universal
suffrage, in the (mited States, prevailing a
mong individuals as well as in monied insti
tutions, and to the most approved tables
heretofore in use. .
2t That, in charging the discount upon a
sixty days, note," the Dank and its Branches
have followed the usage of the place where
the loan' was made, as to the number of days
including the da)'s of grace) for which the
discount should be computed. In general it
has been the practice in the United States to
charge the intefesWor sixty-four ; but there
are some places where the interest is charg
ed for only sixty-three days, and the Branch
es established at such places have conform
ed to the practice there prevailing,
The Committee do not think' that there is
rany thing in either of the modes of comput
ing interest adopted by the Bank wnich calls j
for legislative interposition; and, therefere, j
submit the following resolution :
RisotvA), That the' Committee.; be dis
charged from the further consideration of
tlie subject.
Mr. S. moved that the said report be
laid n the table and printed. ' . j
Mr. Golden opposed the motion. He
wished to bring the subject under the- con
sideration of the House without further
delay, and he was unwilling that any
course should be .thkt u w hich would have
the effect to carry ove r. the subject bryond
the present session Mr. C had examin
ed tne orders of the day, and found some
whav more than 100 cases already refer
red to the commit tre of the whle, -all
which it would be difficult to dispose of at
this session oi Congress. He thought the
fucts were distinctly stated in the report.
They were clear and simple in them
selves, and they were as susceptible of
being understood and discussed now, as
ai any future time, and he hoped the sub
ject would be immediately disposed of,
without further procrastination. .
Ttie question was taken, . and the mo
tion to Jay on the table prevailed. ;
Mr. Randolph ; moved to take into con-"
sideration the joint resolution from the
Senate, to fix a period j to the session,
which now lies on the table; but the House
refused to take it up. .,.
. The House. then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole on the bill to es
tablish an. Uniform System of Bankrupt

our fellow-citt2ens, from its commencement.
Thisjj feelingl was- natural and honorable to
thenv jfrora causes which needf noti .tob
communicated to you. i It has been gratify
ing to see the general acquiescence which
has been manifested, in the polic which the
constituted authorities have . deemed it pro
per to pursue; in regard to this contest.;.. As
soon as the movement assumed siich a steady
and consistent form as to make the success
of the Provinces probable, the rights to
which they xvere.entitled by the law of na
tiorii as "equal parties, to a civil war, were
extended to them. Each party was permit
ted to enter Our ports with its public and pri
vate shins, and to take from them every ar
tide which ! was the i subject of 'commerce
.with otlicr nations."' Our citizens also have
carried on commerce with both parties, and
the: government has protected it,! witheach,
in aiticles not contraband of war. Through
the whole of this contest, the United States
have remained neutral, . and have fulfilled,
with the utmost impartiality, all the obliga
tions incident to that character. ' ;
This contest has now reached Such, a stage,
and been attended with such decisive suc
cess on the part of the Provinces, that it-merits
the most profound consideration, whe-
ther their right to the rank of independent
I nations, with all the advantages incident to
i. it, in their intercourse vith the United States,
Is not complete. Buenos Ay res assumed that
rankby a formal declaration in 181 6 and has
enjoyed it since 3810, fee from invasion by
the parent ' country. The Provinces com-
1 posing the Republic of Colombia, after hav
ling separately declared their independence,
' were united,' by a fundamental Jaw of the
i 17th cf December, 1819. j A strong Spanish
' force occupied, at that time, certain parts iOf
i tlie Territory within their limits, and waged
'; a 'uestrbctive war. That force t has since
. heen j repeatedly defeated, and the wlwle ot
it either made prisoners, or destroyed, or ex
pelled from the country, wjth thei exception '
: of an inconsiderable portion only, which is j
i blockaded in two fortresses. The Provinces i
on the racmc hive hJcewise been .very suc
J essful. Chili declared independence in 1818,
; and has since enjoyed it i undisturbed; .and
,' of late, by the assistance of Chili and Buenos
I Avres, the revolution has extended to Peru.
Of the movement in Mexico our mformation
is less autlientic ; but it is, nevertheless, dis
tinctjy.understood, that the new goveriunent
has declared its independence, and that there
is now no opposition to it there, nor a force
to make any. For the last threefyears the
government of Spain has .not sent a single
corps of troops to any part of that country;
nor is there any reason to believe it will send
anyJrvfutiire. Thus it' is manifest that all
those Provinces are not only in the full en
joyment of their Independence but, consi
dering the! state of the war and other circum
stances, that there1 is not the most remote
prospect of their being deprived of it. !
! When the result of such a contest is mani
festly settled, the new governments have, a
claim t recognition by other powers, which
ought not to be resisted. sCml wars, too of
ten excite feelings which the parties cannot
control. : The opinion entertained hy other
powers', as to the result, may assuage thoise
feelings, and promote an accommodation be
tween them, useful and honorable to both.
The delay which has been observed in mak
ing ja decision on this important subject, will,
it is presumed,' have afforded an unequivocal
proof to Spain, as it must have done to other
powers, of the highest ; respect ! entertained
by the United States for her rights, and of
their : determination not to interfere with,
them. ; The Provinces belong to this hemis
phere, are our neighbors, ana 'have succes
sively, as each portion of the country acquir
ed its Independence, pressed' their recogni
tion, by an appeal to facts riot to! be contest
ed, and which tliey thought" gavel them a just
title to it. . To motives ; of interest this go
vernment has invariably disclaimed all pre
tension, being -.resolved to take no part in
the controversy, or other measure in reeard
to it, wbich"should not merit, the sanction of
the civilized world. To other claims a tust
sensibility has been always felt,1 and frankly
acknowledged, but they, in themselves, could
neverlbecome an adequate cause of action.
It waS incumbent on this government to look
to every important fact and circumstance on
which a r sound opinion could be formed ;
which has ' been done. When we regard,
then, the great length of time, -which this
war has been prosecuted? the complete Suc
cess which has attended it, in favor of the
Provinces ; the present condition of the par
ties, and the utter inability of Spain to pro
duce any change in it, we tare compelled to
conclude tliat its fate is settled, arid that; the
Provinces which. have declared their Inde
pendence, and are in the enjoyment of it,
ought to be recognized. U I
Of the views of the Spanish government
on jthis subject, no particular information has
been recently received. It may be presum
ed, that, the successful progress of the revo
lution, through such a long series of years,
gaining strength arid extendmgvannuaUy in
every direction, and embracing, by the, late
important events . withj httleV exception, all
the dorniniens of Spain, south of the United
States,- on this Continents niacins, thereby.
j the complete sovereignty over the whole in
nanus ui uie peopie, wiu reconcile tne
Parent Cotlntry to an . accommodation with
them, on -the basis of their unqualified inde
pendence. ' Nor has any authentic informal
tion been recently received of the disposition
of j ther? powers respecting it.;' A sincere
desire has been' cherished to act in concert
with them "in the ; proposed recognition,
which several were some time past .duly ap

u Exercise, therefore, citizens, .the noble
right pf suffrageito which the Regency invite
you. Remember tnat tne opject - pi asseni
bling this Congress is, that it should proceed
1 1 to perfect and, consolidate a constitution,
' j suited to the independence of tho nation,
which will discuss measures calculated to
give stability to the empire," to secure its
. haDniness. and to nrdmote its' Erlorv.f This
. is the plan of this great work.
The manner of electing deputies
does not very essentially differ from;
that prescribed by the constitution of
Spain It is'made imperative on some
of the provinces to choose, one deputy
from among the secular clergy one
trotn the- army, ana one eitner a ma
iristrate, a lawyer or a literary man.
Mexico is moreover obliged to send a
miner and a nobleman ; GuadataxaraM
a mf-rchant; Vera Cruz a merchant ;
Puebla, a mechanic ; Nueya Btscayzai
a farmer; and so forth.
' The deputies were to meet ill, Mex
