JMF.RJCJ, IfOtJSE bF 1 ? E P R K S EXT AT IV ES, DECEMBER 4. Mr. Tronp submitted a number ofresolu- tions, whose object was the vindication am1 protection of our commercial rights against the hostile aggressions of the belligerent* of Europe. He remarked, that the commerce, the small remnant of commerce, which we were suffered to enjoy on the ocean, it was jiof difficult to asccrtain-so little was there of it It was but rifcht thatwe should discover upoiv-whal principle it was, that England and France had issued their Orders and Decrees against neutral commerce. It was not a bel- ligerent right; because, if we submitted to the mere paper proclamations ol blockade and c unmercial exclusion, in time of war, we must Ukcwtsesubo'ittothem in time of peace,-r— Tiley were equally illegal at all times, t hey were not founded upon any one right what- ever grov/ing out of a-state ofwur. What. ,aul h,was to prohibit us from doing to Egnhnd and France what they do to us ? If England gave out licences to our vess'-is^ to trade to the Continent, let too levy duties and grant licences to her ships to trade to the frazils tuid the Spanish Main; a trade which was almost wholly engrossed by her, and to which she had no more claim than we have.—■ If France and England seize our vessels, and detain and copfiscaLe the property of our' mer- chants, we have the same right to do so to them. These resoltitiotis Nk-otild not lead to hostility more than any other measure whose object was similar to that which they wei-e i(i- tended Io effectuate, the maintenance of our commercial rights. In regard to France, they would approach nearer to war than to England its the difference in their application to those two uationswill shew. France had little or no commerce noon the ocean and these riiet. sures -would seem to indicate lowardsher a more unequivocal hostility than tur,vards Great Britain. 1. Resolved, That it is expedient to nulho rise the President by law to instruct the com- manders of armed vessels of the United State to slop and bring into the ports of the saii-c all vessels, with iheir cargoes, the property < f the subjects oflhe King of Great Britain or the Emperor of France, bound to other ports than those within the dominions or colonies of either. 2. Resolved, That it is expedient further to allthorlse, by law. the detention of all ships or vessels, with their cargoes, Hhe property of the subjects of ihe Kmg of Great Britain, until the duties, to be regulated and ascer- Li tained by law, shall be first levied and collect- ed upon the goods and merchandize whereof the said ships sball be laden, or tarif therein prescribed", and untit the said ships* r vessels shall have received due licence io depart. 3. Resolved, That it is expedient fnrther to authorise by law the detention of all si-iips or vessels, with their cargoes, the property of the subjects of I he Emperor of France; brought within tl>e p'ort«iof!lie United States, there to abide the.iinai-decision or order of the Go- jternment. 4 it < -.olvtJ, That an ad va'orem duty of •be leVied and collected on all goods, ■wares, and mercivandiztf, of British produce or I, ire. 5. Resolved', That if expedient to autho- rise the President, on payment of the duties authorised to be levied and collected on the goods laden on board the vessels, the property of the subjects of the. King of Great Britain, forthwith to grant licence to such vessels (o depart, and to proceed to (heir original ports of d ,S ina l iO\l, .wi! hout t urlher h Hldrauce or molestation. The Be.solutions were ..per willed to lie on the In t ie for consideration, and ordered to be printed Dec. 5 —Mr. Giles, from the Committee appointed on the 1st instant, reported in part the loll owing resolution, which was read the first time, and passed to the second reading Kesolved, by the Senate and House of representatives of the United States of America, 111 Congress assembled, that the expressions contained in the official lettei .of Fiancis James .Jackson, Minister t'tenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty to thelliiifed States, dat- ed October *3," 1809, and addressed to Mr. Smith.

The pr«if»a- tations for that ,"ratid ccremonv were in a 8Lv It-, of tile elegance. A temporary hall annexed to the grand bail, was erected for the occasion. It was lilled with scarlet cloth, and ornamented with draperies to cor- respond, edged with black velvet Mosaic border. The grand eptfance-hall was fitted up for the ceremony the floor was covered with a superb carpet, and the walls were lined with crimson cfoth, edged with black velvet. In the adjoining apartment, tables were laid out for the company. They were most ele- gantly adorned with gold plateaux, lighted by silver branches. On the sideboard was pi iced a stillei-I),new silver chased candlestick, with numerous branches, bearing,wax lights. Two adjoining drawing-rrooms were perbly lighted up with Grecian lustres, pro- vided for the occasion the furniture, crimson velvet edged with gold, and rich gold mould- ing.. At h quarter to five o'cjock, the Delegates in their robes, avrived, with their attendants. .A t six o'clock- his Lordship entered the grand hail, dressed in his new robes, which were of bfllrk figured satin, trimmed with rich gold-lace, and a square cap.

<,ACGlDpN;i;$.yp;i'FESCES>§c.- A woman from of St. George's Fields, was charged at Union Hall, by a sailor, with d him of seven His. evidence, however, was so ía- vourable to, the prisoner, tfiat there was no grounds for committing her. and she w,-s ac- cordingly discharged. On her liberation, ho- nest. Jack caught her in his arms, and saluted her with much seejming rapture assuring her at the gaime iiiiie, that he was certain she had the no, although he would notsay so when • before their Honours, because mayhap if he had, ..•he*iHight have been sent to ihe bilboes, and if si t; would return him one half she was I wekome to the other. To this proposal the lady acceded, and tiie happy pair quitted the office apparently ta the greatest harmony with eacil other. 1 7 On Saturday/ sennight; Hannah Pegg," an .inhabitant V- f, Melbourde, was,- soon after -having drank "her tea, seized with a violent 2' and unconimon trembling, so not to be able to hold any thing in her hans^ which conti- nued during the night; on examlfiiug the tea kettfe next mm'uing', a toad wasfotord in it, which had been* taken in with the water un- perceived by her, itiheing dark wben lielilled the kettle the evening before medical assist- ance was called in, «uid she is in a fair way of recovery. The^very large and remarkable cent<e,chan- delier in the Assembly room at Worcesler, owing to the breaking of the chain by which it was suspended; fell to the grourtd in the forenoon of Thursday last, aiid was shattered to pieces. It is considered a fortunate cir- cumstance, that this casualty, took place aiite- cedent to the arrival of a nunierou's company for had it chauced to have been delayed a few hours, the cohsequences might have been more disastrous.

BkngAi„-r-About a fortnight ago, a party of gentlemen went out from Kishenagur to hunt the wild boar; btit not meeting with any sport, one of the number (Mr. Kelso) quitted his companions, alHl set out on his return" home. He had proceeded but a short distance when a boar was started, and finding himself attacked By the hunters, took his course across the very road by which Kelso was re- turniiig.r— Mr. Kelso immediatety galloped up to the boar,; with the intention of spearing him .but just as he came within reach, his horse tripped and he unforlunatefy fell. The sh ift of tiis spear, at the same time, took the ground while lhe-point entered his side be- tween the ribs and the hauuch bone, and by the violence of the fall, was driven Complete- ly through his hody.-the entire blade and part of the shaft issuing from the loin of the same side. At the same aritica) instant, he was charged by the boar, who ripped up the flesh of one of his arms (which he instinctive- ly stretched out, with a view to ward him off) from the fingers to the elbow, and would un- questionably have put him to death, had not y his attention been diverted by another of the gentlemen, who providentiatty cante up at the, ixtoiiieiit, and threw his spear, a little short of where Mr. Kelso lay. To add to the horrid circumstances of this accident, it was impracticable to extract the weapon in any other way than by drawing its whole length through the wound. This was accordingly done, and Mr. Kelso was conveyed to Kishen- -igtir.

At the Norfolk Sessions a curious action was brought, in which a-Clergyman was plantiff, under the following circumstances: — It was a Hedged, that on a certain Sunday, while he was preaching; lire daughter of one of his pa. rishilllerscHlllc with her sister into the church, attended by a nir.ii, who carried a bag.

The law in this case imposed a fine of £ 100 for every such offence on the returniiig Ofli cers. On this principle they applied to Lord Chief Justice Holt, who desired the Officer to be arrested. The House of Commons, alarm- ed at this step, made an order of their House to make it penal for either Judge, Counsely or Attorney to assist at HuKti^iaLr However, the. Lord Chief Justice, and several lawyers were hardy enough to oppose this order, brought it 011 iu tiie Court of King's Bench. The House highly irritated at this contempt of their order, sent a Serjeant at Arms for the Judge to appear before them; but that resolute defender of the laws bad him with a voice of authority, "Be gone!"
