Mr. Granger rose and moved a division J1 of the quest ion~1rrst; on the motion to I 1 V oil the tffMe ; and then, 011 the 1110- i ' tioii to print.- !( And the motion1 to print being debatable? Mr. Granger srtidf that he Consickfed j this report this repbYt; if acted upon and adopted by the U<*ise, as approaching j very nearly, in its consequences; to a declaration of war, if the British Government should deSire so to consider it. He j wOild take occasion to say; as a member 1 of the Committee o'u Foreign Affairs, that the report uid not receive his assent. } And he felt constrained to detain the, House for a few moments fcliilst lie as- 1 signed, very brictiy, bis reasons tor tins ; conclusion. "What, (continued Mr. G.) was the |>o ition of the Committee on Foreign All urs when they entered upon the con- i Adoration of this question 1 My co! league (M*. Fillmore) had called upon, the State Depigment for the correspon- 1 defies which had taken place in relation : to the demand for the liberation of Mc ! Leo 1. That matter, and that alone, was ; referred to. the Co?iJhlittd8 on Foreign; Affairs. It is not mv purpose to censure j the conduct of this Adiuininistrntion, for, j so far as my judgment can now deter- j mine, I approve fully the course they have taken. That opinion may, upon : further reiiection, be changed ; but, as at I present advised, I consider the course of Mr. Forsyth to have been such as was j due to the character and dignity of this . i nation. Hut so considering, and ropre- . senling a section of country deeply inter- ' estcd in this question, an I as rea.lv to intetfits consequences as the people "of j any other section of this Union, 1 stil! , dissent from the report.

No. Tne Kxecutive, mindful, as we are . hound to believe. of the honor of the eoun- i try as well as of the character of ais own ; administration, has not thought proper to call upon either House of Congress for advice in regard to oar relations with Great Britain. What, then, is the position of; that commit to? Travelling b:yo?d the 1 record, they conic for war J and present (by the votes of a bare majority I will say, ii . in order) a report which,, to say the leas! .... " of it. is t pacific in its character, an* : ,* tvnjch is based upon complain'* nun ins' !* the B.'itisli t loverniiicnt, not one i;i'u lii-'li ; has he on rvtVrrv-.i in that committer.? When. or L \ whom hate the committee ' , 'I on Foreign A intra boon called upon to ( consider seizures upon the high seas, or this alleged right of search? which,! agree with the r.nu.iiiUeo, is one which this mi I tion is not likelv to tolerate in the manner in -which it is now exercised. When, cr by whom, were the other matters of controversy which that report embraces referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that they might make a report upon them? And, if so, what have they report eJ? Have they sent here a document sot- ' ting forth the alleged grievances of this fj O I country, compllining of injustice <!o:ti on the pari of 1 iresit Britain, and calli:?^r for the action of litis House upon those matters.' Has the Chairman of the Com- : mittee of Ways and Means come forward to.sny tihit lu is prepared to rccoinmend appropriations to put the country in a proper state, of.defence t > meet the ciiitgoncy which such a report as this may ' create? Is your Committee on Militaiy Ailairs ready to recommend the defences which should ho provided if such a report j is logo forth io llic world, under the sane-; tioii of this House? Has your Committee j on Naval Affairs sent in requisitions to put your ships in commission, that you j in ? v be prepared to meet on the high-seas j tie power you have before met and crip- J pled? No. There has been no such re-i (o:n:rc;iJaiion. And the Committee on Foreign Affairs, without recommending1 O ' " any u< t ?n, wit hi ut even corning to any j c -ncli sion, as it seems to inc. except that j Gcat Britain is the greatest Power on ' Earth and wc the humblest, bring hero a i report calculated to inflame the win le Nation; and let it go forth to the world that we are making an issue with Great Britain, which we voluntarily tender to h r. and which, in tny opinion she lias a right lo take up on the instant. But, Mr Speaker, there are considerations connected with the honor and digjiity of the S:ate of New York, and with tfjc administration of justice within her borders, that demand our attention. On a farmer occasion I stated on tins floor (Tfoftt person whose life was in jeopardy would receive at the hands of a jury ol New York the same fair and impartial trial which would be secured to any citizen of that State who might be arraigned D C* for a violation of its laws; but I mourn now* to say that, from present indications, there & an excitement on the Western border of New York, growing out of the arrest of this man and of his liberation for j the moment, which is already sufficient, j Jy great to make those who regard the lives and the liberties of the people ofj this country pause before they net, IK this time, I suppose, the grand jury ol Niagara county has closed its investiga-1 tion. The current rumor through the. ' newspapers of the day is, that McLeod ' b?is been indicted* The people of thai j section have been grcfitly incensed by re- i cent transactions there, ?Seml forth this paper to the world, recommending no?hand being nothing but a detailed ac t ?K*rfr.<w lap.w '' n I?www*qwi >ijt i, - " " "'f/-- *-" .r count of grievance? against iho UiilisJif1 Government, with a fc"\v lifts at what may lie presumed I? be the arrogrrncc of her course, ami n? wan can answer for the /1 consecprcnccs upon the life of this nam. 1 ! I felt it to be my duty to endeavor to |*>st. j. I pone this question "ti'n'til the frfal sltould I have passed. I believed tha?! tl?e power i of this country could never he exercised ! i with a higher glory to i'tseff than when j I showing to the World that, whilst it took}' the position which ihs lienor demanded, j t -till that the hdmblcst individual of this or!1 any other country whose I'toft vr&s tipon our soil should btf shielded by the wild, , I the just, and the impartial operation of its I laws. I do not tiiink that, without any I call irorn the I'.xjcculivo, withfrwt .my p tiling hiring been laid before the Coin- i uiittee on Foreign Affairs hut the papers ; | relaling to (he liberation of this man?-I . i say, f do cot think thftt the honor or di"- fj n tv of this na;io i required that we should ; sen I forth a deciaral:cn lieu on.y 01 imi prowtssof (mat i>ri<ain anil ofcurhumil- j I itv, hut of our readings to meet licr at j; any moment, when no necessity existed ', < forsueh a threat; and when the voice of j i this Hons , spunking poientiully to the:! nation, nrght t? considered as -a watch- u word by which every man on the North- : em frontier was to guide himself in hurrv- > i ing 0:1 to execution this suspected for-: eigner. If he should be tried and fotm 1 guilty, let lite penalty of the law be ex-! acted; and iot the people on the frontier of New York and the people throughout the J widest extremities of this land be propar- \ ed to nnet the consequences. When' those consequences shall present themsel- i ves, not o ily will the S'nte of New York he rea.lv to meet litem, but I feel sure that ' a patriotic feeling, which supersedes all local questions and merges nli politick! differences. will raliv tliis whole nation to j the rescue. It will then he time enough [ to act: b?t. in the name of justice, let us 1 not anticipate that event by inflaming the , public mind, ami adding l?> tlio horrors ; of war the consciousness that we have interfered wi li the impartial operation of our laws or trilled wit!i their saproinnev. Some conversation took place between ; Messrs. Adam ?, Pit ki:.\s, and (i:s!>*xi:m.

Air. Adams addressed the floose roe- i :-idcrah!e length el remarks of which in j is iii the po\\\ r of lite Reporter to give i only a hricToutline. Mr. A. expressed himself desirous for j the sake of tho get.tinman from .South Carolina (.Mr. Pickens ) who had declared himself to he the sole author of this re- j port, that the gentleman should have an opportunity of examining it cooly and 1 impartially, with reference to the opinio is not of one party alone, hut of both parties. Mr. Pickens was here understood to disavow all parly considerations iu the j matterAir. Adams disclaimed any intention , to tast censure on the gentleman. All j he wished was, that the report might be j recommitted, in order that the gentleman j might see whether both parties in flic Com- ; inittec of Foreign A flairs could not conn ! herewith a report receiving their unani- i mows sanction, or a', nil events, with a re- : port not sanctioned l>v a close party vote, ! as this had been. If this was not done, it j woafd in the eye of the country, of the i world, and of posterity appear to he the j policy of a defeated c.icniy in war a an! doning a tenement and setting lire to it npon their retreat. After alluding to tho criticism of Mr. j O j Pickens on the party views here in refer- , cnce to the controversy withdrcat Britain,1 and to the general unanimity of opinion which he (Mr. A.) contended had prevail-' ed here on that subject, (with one or two exceptions, which he enumerated.) Mr. A. alluded to the ground taken that tljis was acoitfdliatcfy report, 'jpijo People, AJr. A. thought, would form a very different estimate of it. What was the dissertation on the ambition and the grasping spirit ol Circat Britain ! Were such charges gen. - orally received by nations as being of n friendly clmrnct jr ! 8oppo._? file charges to be true, was i; cmiciii tory or courteous to array tlicm lure? It was something of the courtesy and conciliation which 1 Captain IluJk'U (in cut of the plays ofj sir ,-r?- ? thegrcat dramatist) showed to Ancient! Pistol, when tie said to him, 44 Got pies* j vou, Ancient Pistol, von scurvy, lonsy knave, Got [dessyou." He wished, there- I tore, (hat rhe r'ey#*t sliould ho recommit- j ted, and that all tluwa parts which related !o the general policy of Great JJritain, and ; to her ambitious character and power ; might ho left out. And, as ttf tl<c ques-! tion (rf right or wrong, which, after' a'!, was to Ire the basis of our controversy Vfrith Great Ihitaiu if we were to press it to a ! war, he wished a report on the subject it- j ' If, based on the correspondence here., that we might see whether, under the j aws of nations, we could maintain the position we had assumed in regard tolfic CarAnd this point Mr. A. argued with ; much force, urging upon the House not to j [Hit itsfclfor the country in the wrong by { my undue act of its oWn. If we tVefc to, to war wilh Great Britain, it should be 5 is a invite:! People. He believed that n J war* would be one of the greatest misfor- j to nos that could befall the country; and j and he confessed that it Was with no small j ilegree of anxiety that be entertained fears ; that it would coinn to that inevitable re- j suit. He looked to it with apprehension j and pain, but not without confidence, that, j if we went into a war, we should come j out with glorvand honor, as we had al-i I ready comes out of two wars.

On the 12lli December, the British Minister undo a demand on the Pre.i lent for the release of Mcleod, on the ground thn' the destruction of: ha Carolina wis a public <irl of parous in her Af ijcsfy's scrcice, obafntr the order of their superior au'horilic.s; (hat th' act a -cording, to the usages of nations, can on!I/ be the subject of discussion between the two national Governments.
