rican i -eopl«.—and riot th.*. rich merchant mare

scribing every main, who dar< d to question one
tittle 0? its motives. But he irusti d if it he-

Mr. Crowning-shield hoped the house would
cio him the justice to belo-ve that he did not
\vi,h to derogatt" from the, eh >racier of his
friend from Penhs (Mr.Clay) ; he had always
entertained the highest esteem for that g n, 'e-
man, and he always should. He had stated
that the language of the petition was disr s
peetful, and he wished it to tie on the table i
bat that was surely not rejecting it. He had
since, however, discovered a sentiment in th
petition .hieh had escaped hi in before, and
-which co'dinned him 1» his opinion of it. The
petitioners say, that "they hope the peac.. o'
the coimti'y will not be endangered by an ad.
fierence to doubtful or unsettled principles."
"Was it an unsettled principle that a national
vessel could i.ot be sea 'ch«d > He thought not.
He ha.l always considered a national vessel as
national territory, and that it sh mid be main-
tained inviolate. He hud formerly been of
opinio,- that it would be better to pass a tmuil
Hon importation law ; but for the sake of con-
cilfatiltg Great-Britain, lis had voted for a pur-
la;) n n m >ni tation.
Mr. Randolph said, that the gentleman
from Nlass. (Mr. C.) had grossly misunderstood
him : he did not allude to that gentleman
a , denouncing his friend from Pennsylvania.
(Mr. J. Clay.) The denunciations had been
heard by the house—at least they had been
b Mm. (See above)—But he had said that
the gentleman had endeav red to make this
a party question he still thought so, and
Jhi. calling for the ayes and nays proved it.
He would call the attention of the house to
a period when men of different political sen-
timents heAd the reins of gov. petition after
petition had been presented against the se-
dition Ian and yd they had always been re-
ceived and heard, although he said, it was
almost impossible to conch such petition in
respectful language. He contended, that
' the merchants did not allude totthe rights of
the words which the gentlemen (Mr.
Crowninshield) had quoted ; but they said
that doubts were entertained that other sub-
jects had been connected with that. And
had they not a right to doubt ? He inought
if the gentleman (Mr. Crowninshield) w uld
exchange a few of his certainties for some of
their doubts, he would not be a worse man
or it less efficient politician. He believed
it to be a novel thinj; in legislation, that
because the. house differed in opinion from a
petitioner, the petition should be rrjected.
The que, tisn wss then taken or refering
the petition to committee of the whole house
and it was lost, ayes 50, noes 80.
The petition was ordered to lie on the
table.
This interesting discussion (of which the
above is but a Sketch) lasted about 3 hours.
Mr. Randolph asked and obtained leave
of absence for Mr. J. Clay, for the remain-
der of the session.
Mr. Ra idolph, from the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, reported a bill to
explain the act to prohibit the importation
of slaves into the U. S. after the 31st Dec
* 1807, which e as read t > ice, and ordered
to be referred to a committee of the whole
on Monday.
Mr. Blount called for the order of the day
on the second report in part of the committee
• of aggressions, &c. This motion occasion-
ed a debate of about two hours, principally
relating to the attack on the Chesapeake fri-
gate, and to the conduct of the British squa-
dron in remaining in our waters contrary to
the president's proclamation.
A tew minutes before five o'clock, the
house adjourned till Monday.

It would havehepn more regular, perhaps,
if this reply had Been made throm.h the same
medium by which the piece above alluded to

1 have an insuperable objection to having any
connection, directly orindi ectly, with such a
vehicle of defamation as the " E ,'ening Post. "
I therefore cannot persuade my* .'t'to publish
in it even the ditection of its own falsehoods.
I knoWthat your paper haa not currency in ths
same circle as the Post ; but I am totally re-
gar less of the opinions of those who depend
. ntirclyon its filthy pages for information, and
am not therefore anxious about removing their
wrong impressions.
Having been intimately concerned in the
business ofihe anatomical room, and the only
person on whom could possibly have b-en
charged, any harshness to the rtbliVWa and af-
feetip ate Mrs. .Idler, who has appeared so
lovely and interesting to the warm imagination
of th ' writer in the j ' Evening Post," I think
myself cailea on to give a real statement of
facts.
On Tuesday evening, a person called at our
office and informed me, that he had asubject,
and wished me to ha\e i. taken into the anato-
mical room We had at that time, no particu-
lar occa ion for asu'.ject, as the course of lec-
tures was not sufficiently advanced; but as
this Was offered, it wax deemed pr.pr.r to a-
vail ourselves of it. I therefore accompanied
the person to the room and received the body,
which, from its state and the manner in which
it was cioathed appeared to, have been some-
time dead, and notto have received the ordina-
ry or decent attentions which the living never
fail ro bestow on their departed friends or re.
Unions, who are not totally worthless or ne-
glected. The price demanded was paid, and
the man who brought the su jeet retired. I
had never s en bun before, I have never seen
him sim • nor do I ki ow ins name j but I hope
hi realtor to become better acquainted with a
man who so tar gurpaswsin civilization, mat y
who thini themselves entitled to rank above
him. *'• e hadhar, or given any intimation that she

The assertion that " no small portion of

totally false : in a room without side-lights it

the head of a prepared skeleton could be seen
