This was the cause of the Indian oath to support that constitution securing to him war that shortly after took place. This fact was that right. I ask should an impressed American tested by the news papers of the day, which had scamen (who has been for seven years under the universal credit. lash, and whom we had during that time neglected): be indicted for high treason, when found with our enemies in arms against us, should he plead speci ally that fact, would it avail him; and if it would not, how can we neglect to protect him in his liber ty secured by the social compact, which we are bound by oath to execute. Mr. Speaker, it is well known that my sympathies have always been enlist ed for this hardy and valuable class of our fellow citizens, who though poor, yet as "honest tars" proverbially, in a peculiar manner, are entitled to our protection. These cases go to prove that the principles that ought to govern civilized nations, have at all times been totally disregarded by the officers and agents of that government After these cases we shail feel little hesitation in believing there was a British agency in the case of the massacre by the Prophet's troops on governor Harrison's detachment, when the circumstances relied on are duly considered. At the late great council with governor Harrison, the chiefs of many tribes were convened, all of whom except Tecumseh, the Prophet's brother, in their speeches avowed their friendly dispositions, and Sir, we all recollect the capture of the Philadel devotion to peace with the United States-Tecumseh phia by the Turks, and we can never forget how the who, with a number of his tribe, came from Fort news of so many of our fellow citizens being sub Malden, in Canada, declared his hostile intentions jected to Turkish bondage in a moment electerized against the United States, left the council with that the sympathies of the American people; that a avowed intention and returned again to Fort Maiden. squadron was without delay dispatched to the Shortly after which, the Shawanese assembled a Mediterranean, and a large sum of money voted large body in arms in the Indiana teritory, under for their ransom: But, sir, we have so long sub the Prophet, and committed the assault on the mitted to the British impressments of our seamen, troops of governor Harrison, though they have that it has become an old story, and we seem to have paid for their temerity.

Schools for the peasants and the poor have long been established throughout the country; but partly they were too few; partly the masters were not sufficiently paid; and therefore mostly compelled to seek a livelihood by other employments. The law passed in October 1806, directs that the country shall be divided into school districts, in each of which there is to be a school, and no district must be larger than the children may, as to the distance, attend without inconvenience. A decent income. with a free house, is appointed for the masters; and all parents are compelled to send their children regularly to school after the age of seven years. The children are divided according to their age and proficiency, into different classes, which are to attend the school at different times of the day and week, so that no child is taken away from its parents more 7.

Every French citizen comprehended in the maritime inscription, are exempted from all other services than those of the navy, marine arsenals,and the national guard, in the arondissement of their districts. * 9.

From a statement laid before the king, by the supreme court of justice at Copenhagen, of all criminals in the Danish dominions-including Iceland and the India colonies-on whom sentence was passed in the year 1806,it appears that 205 criminals, of whom 18 were executed, were in that year sentenced to corporeal punishment: 5 for murder, 10.
