"And be it further enacted, That, if any vessel rightfully bearing the flag of the United States, regularly cleared out, according to law, and owned by a citizen or citizens of the United States, shall, upon the high seas, engaged in a lawful commerce, be captured under authority of Great Britain or France, in a manner not warranted by the acknowledged laws of nations, such capture shall be considered an unequivocal act of war, against the United States, and the President of the United States, upon the receipt of satisfactory proof of that fact, shall cause letters of marque and reprisal to be forthwith issued against the nation or nations by virtue of whose orders, edicts, or decrees, such capture shall have been committed, subject to the restrictions and conditions which were contained in the act passed upon the ninth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight, entitled 'An act further to protect the commerce of the United States."

And on the question that the House do agree to the said proposed amendment, it passed in the negative-yeas 49, nays 73, as follows:

A motion was then made by Mr. MACON, farther to amend the bill, by striking out in the eleventh section, after the words "United States," the following words:

"Be, and he hereby is, authorized, in case either France or Great Britain shall so revoke or modify her edicts, as that they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States, to declare the same by proclamation; after which the trade of the United States, suspended by this act, and by the act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, and the several acts supplementary thereto, may be renewed, with the nation so doing; and to cause to be issued, under suitable pledges and precautions, letters of marque and reprisal against the nation thereafter continuing in force its unlawful edicts against the commerce of the United States: Provided, That all penalties and forfeitures which shall have been previously incurred by virtue of this, or any other act, the operation of which shall so cease and determine, shall be recovered and distributed in like manner, as if the same had continued in full force and virtue; and vessels bound thereafter to any foreign port or place with which commercial intercourse shall by virtue of this section be again permitted, shall give bond to the United States, with approved

security, in double the value of the vessel and cargo, that they shall not proceed to any foreign port, nor trade with any country other than those with which commercial intercourse shall have been or may be per
