the room, when, as he opened the door,,

moments the dog was observed to have !
i
something in his mouth, which, upon being
taken from him by his inas or, proved to be
i ten dollar bank note. Tnc dog must!

Feb, 16.?Mr. Webster presented a me-;
moriai from sundry citizens of the United j
S;a es, asking that Congress would pass a
law to abolish the use of ardent spirits on
board of ships of war. Mr. \V. thought j
this memorial merited attention, as some- i
ivnui inicresutig iu uiu iijdiuiuie concerns ?
if the country. It set forth some facts well j
worthy of consideration ; nmong others, |
hat most of the cases of insubordination j
md mutiny on board of ships were clearly !
raccabb to the daily use of stimulating'
Jrinks. It was not now, as formerly, when j
few of our merchantmen abolished their I
jse on board ; but far the greater portion of j
>ur vessels were navigated in that way !
ind in consequence there had been a gteat:
rtorai revolution in the character of our
and that these brftefi*? were '"x'epl
ing themselves to the merchants in the shape
of diminished insurances, the olncos invaria- J
bly preferring tlie risks where intoxicating

was orJered to be printed.

AH*. YVright said that the printing of these

How, then, could this committee now
refuse to act ? Jn accepting the overture as.
an arbitration, the President had expressly
snpuhted that it should not interfere with
the action of Congress. Mexico, therefore,
had licr ejus fixed on this hody, and v.oul i
do nothing until she saw a vigorous hiove.

Mr. Prentiss of Miss., said he rose to n

dence over a'l oilier business, and he
would off r the following resolution :
44 Resolved, That this Houso proceed to
inquire, 1, Whether Alexander Duncan, a
member of this House from the Sato ot
Ohio, be the author of a certain publicn tions,
under liis mime, in relation in tlw
proceedings ofiiiis House and certain mom-pcrs
thereof, published in the Globe news,
paper of tho 19 h inst. 2. Wlw-tlrr by,
said publication or pubiications, the said Ai-i
exandcr Duncan 1ms not been guiliy ol a
violation of the privileges of this fious?*, of
an offence against its peace, dignity anJ
good order ; and of such grossly indecent,
ungentlemanly, d.sgrnceliil, and dishoriorubio
conduct as readers hira unworthy of his
scat in this House, and iusilv liable to expulsion
from the same,
Mr. loll inquired if he was not en*hied
to tho floor on the report of tbc s Let cone
mitteo on the public lands.
The Chair replied that he was, but a <jties.
lion of privilege rode over every thing cls^.
Mr. Veil asked the gentleman to postpone
his motion until the expiration of the
morning hour.
Mr. IVcntrss said he could notco:.sent
lo cJo so. Mr. 1". sud, as ihis was a very
important question he would move a call
of the House.
The cal was ordered, nem. dU. and on ;

swered to their names, others having mean- J
while come in, and 146 were announced i
as being present, when the doors were closed, |
the absentees again called, and excuses run- '
dertj l ; an alter some time,
On niotonofMr. Halstoad, the call wasj
dispensed with.
The publication in the Globe of the 19th ;
instant, was then read at the Clerk's table.
Mr. Prentiss then proceeded to comment
nt length upon the language used l?v Mr.
Duncun, stating that, in doing so, lie should
consider the publication as a forgery and
a falsj libel, and not regard if, for the honor
of the House, as authentic.

save thy trouble of proof. 1 say, sir, that I
am the author of that publication, and of
every word contained in i\
Mr. P. replied, however, he shoulJ still
proceed to comment upon the langungo as
if the avowal had not been made, and he
went on to contend that its use merited ex.
pulsion, or some potent mode of exemplifyng
the indignation of the House. Either
under the code of honour, or the legal code,
lie was equally unworthy of a seal there,
