d< r of the day for this day, as, he said, it
¦was a bin of great important .
Mr. &>iincy, moved that it be made the
order of the day for to morrow. He was
agrainst such precipitation. He was in. favor
of acting upon the bill as soon as possible i
but he wished time to consider whether the
amendatory bill w;»s not. itself deficient.
Mr. Newton again enforced the necessity
©f acting immediately upon the subject.
The Jaw laying an embargo, he observed,
Was extremely deficient, and he believed
that advantages were now taking in some
jports of the United States of this deficiency.

printed, and it could be immediately laid on
¦the table of the members.

Sage, all of which, iiowever, had sufficient
time to return before that act went into
operation, Sbut which by some untoward
events beyond their control, had not yet re-
turned ; and praying congress to grant them
relief.
Mr. M. moved, that the memorial be re-
ferred to a committee of the whole. Lost,
ayes 37, noes 39. It was then ordered to
ite on the table.
The house went into committee of the
, -whole on the bill supplementary to the act
laying an embargo, &c.
Mr. ftuincey offered an amendment to the
first section, as follows : And provided al-
• -ways that nothing in this act contained
shall be construed so as to prevent any ves-
sels duly enregistered, enrolled & licensed to
carry on the whale fishery, from proceeding
en their voyages with their usual tackle, ap-
parel and provisions.
Mr. Crawninshield and Mr. Montgomery
opposed this motion ; and Mr. Quiucey and
Mr. Livermore supported it.
In the course of the debate, Mr. Mont-
gomery (of Md.) made some very severe re
marks on the author of a letter published in
New York, and said to be from a member
of congress, on the subject of French in-
fluence. He declared that the assertions con-
tained in that letter wot* false and unfound-
' tel and that the writer of it was unworthy
of a seat in the house, _c. &c.

amendment another proviso, declaring that
