It is a curious circumstance that ihe present
Queen of the Sandwich Islands was formerly, or
rather is at this time, the rail}: Qfli Rzzssian Black-
amit‘/z. An English vessel lying off, what we usu-
ally call the Fox Islands, several years ago, one of
the officers becameenamoured ofthe falr spouse
ofa son of Vulcan there ; and his passion b-ing
returned, contrived to smuggle tier on board the
vessel, and keep her there concealed without the
knowledge of his captain, till they had cleared the
port. In the course of the voyage, however, the
circumstance became known to the captain, who
being highly enraged at such a breach of faith and
discipline, kept her confined till they reached the
Sandwich Islands, where she was put on shot-e.——
The forlorn Ariadne, however, lound a Bacchus
iiirher Theseus, a Royal lover in place of her
lost Lieutenant. The King of the Island became
cnantoured of the fair Russian, made her his wife
and raised her to his throne. He was no every-
day King. He wasa statesman and a hero, tho’
we should call him a savage. He progressively
created a navy of several well built frigates,taught
his subjects to be excellent sailors, raisetl armies,
subdued the surrounding Islands, and at the close
of a prosperous reign, left his possessions and his
sovereignty to his Queen. rr ho now reigns as his
successor. She is well obeyed by her subjects ;
possesses great wealth in flocks, herds and rice-
grounds, and sends many pt't-:seltts to her former
deserted husband, who still continues to hammer
horses’ shoes in a Russian colony. while his faith-
less, but it seems not quite ungrateful spouse,
stretches her sceptre over several prosperous Isl-
ands.

‘ Sir, fny Brother, and very dear l“ather-in-law,
‘ Unhappy circumstances have prevented my re-
ceiving the letters addressed to me by your Ma-

however, to which those letters have probably re-
lated have not ceased to occupy my most serious
meditations, as well as those ofthe Allied Powers

the consequences with which these events men-
ace the rest of the Italian peninsula, and perhaps

and upon which that tetulary alliance is founded
’—-‘solely designed to guarantee from‘_ all danger
the political iiidependence and territorial integrity
ofall itsjstates, and to ensure the repose and«pros.-
perity of each ofthe countries of which it is corn-
posed. Your Majesty, then, cannot doubt that
the object of the Cabinets assembled here is to re-
concile the interest and well—being, the enjoymcm
of nhich the paternal soliciludt: of your Majesty
would lead you to desire for your people. wrttr the
duties‘ of the Allied Monarchs to their own states,

will hasten a reconciliation almost intllspensabte ;
and it is in the name of the dearest interests 4 l‘
your kingdom, and with that watchful st)liCl‘-trfc

Dec. 97.--Advices from Bu;-iros Ayres to .the(
4th October are received. Late in September
the federal party nominated Col. Rodriguez gov-’
ernor of the city and province, but his tenure of
that post was shorter and more disturbed than a-
try of his numerous predecessors. On the third
senada entered Buenos Ayres, and were drawn up
by the orders of the new Governor in one of the
squares. The suspicion immediately arose and
spreadrapidly among the civic authorities, that
Rodriguez was the secret friend of Puyrredon and
Tagle, and mcditaled their restoration to power,
with the return of anti-federalism. The civic
tztrartl tr-as called out, and in the evening of the
28th September, the citizens of Buenos Ayres
were alarmed by the repott"o‘f musketry in the
very heart of the city; of the cause of which very
few cl them were able to supply and explanation.
The lit ing ceased about 10 o'clock, and an inter-
~-.tl of silence succcded, but without inspiring the
corrfitlence of security-—'t'he doors of the houses
hroad. At one in the morning of the 29th, ,,_the
firing was renewed, continuing with little inter-
mission till day break, when it was succeeded by
the ringing of bells, shouts of victory, and other
evidences of triumph. The victory had declared
itself for the Cabildo, at the head of the civic
guard, and one of its first consequences was the
immediate expulsion of Rodriguez from power.
The next care of the city nragistrates vt as the ap-
pointment of a committee to ell-.ct,a new Govern-
or, and to arrange the return of Deputies to the
Congress. The result was not known when these

MISSOURI.
Mr. CLAY, from a select committee, delivered’
in a report and amendment.
The report is long-—it states that the commit-
tee were almost unanimous that Missouri ought
to be admitted by virtue ofa vote of last session
._that the only impediment to her immediate ad-
mission isa certain clause of her constitution,
which is considered by some as repugnant to the
Constitution of the United States—that they have
framed a resolution which it is hoped will accom-
modate me cwfllcling opinions on this subject-
that it will still leave Missouri free to exclude
from her jurisdiction persons under certain cir-
cumstances, (such as paupers, vagabondsy 3“?-2'"-
lhat this modification of the Senate’s l"cs0lu'-Ion
by the committee, is the result ofa spirit of'con-
Cord, without the sacrifice of principle on either
sitlc, to reconcile the varient opinions among
tncm.—_'l'hat the committee believe Missouri. 90-
iicitous as she must be to participate in all the
high advantages ofour excellent union, will eat-
gerly seize the opportunity oftestifying her at-
tachment to the federal constitution, by giving‘ the
solemn pledge which she is asked to make, to
secures to citizens of other states ; a pledge be-
come necessary in the opinion ofa large and re--
spectable portion of the House, by the terms
which she has employed in a clause ofher consti-
tution. The committee believe that all must ar-
dently unite itr wishing an amicable termination
of a question which, if it be longer kept open, carr-
not fail to produce, and possibly to perpetuate pt e-
judiccs and animosities among a people to wnont
the conservation of their moral ties should be c-
ven dearer, if possible, than that oftr.cit- political
bond. With these sentiments the committee re-
spectfully submit the following arneuuaneut :
Strike out after the word, ‘ be’ in the third line
ofthe Senate's resolution, and insert
‘ Admitted into this Union on an equal footing
with the original states, in all respects whatever,
upon the fun‘darner.tal cutrdition, that the said
state shall never pass any law preventing any de-
scription of persons from coming to and settling
in the said state, who now are or hereafter may
become citizens of any of the states of this Un-
ion 5 And provided, also, that’the Legislature‘ of
lllc said state, by a solemn public act, shall de-
clare the assent ofthesaid state to the said funda-
mental condition, and shall transmit to the Pres-
ident of the United States, on or before the 4th
Monday of November next, an authentic copy of
the said act ; upon the receipt whereof, the Pres-
ident, by proclamation, shall announce the fact ;
whereupon, and without any further proceeding
.on the ‘part‘ofCongress, the admission of the said
state into this Union shall be considered as com-
plete : And provided further, that nothing herein
is construed to take from the said state of Missou-
ri, when admitted into this Union, the exercise of
any right or power which can now be constitution-
ally exerciscd by any of the original states.’
Mr. Clay gave notice that he should call for
the consideration of the report, with the resolu-
tion on Monday.
SOUTB AMERICAN PROYINCES.
Mr. Clay having twice failed to obtain an appro-
priation of $18,000, for sending a Minister to
South America, this day rose again, and present-
1
ed the object_i.n.a new shape, by sul-imitting foal.
consideration the. following resolution :
Resolved,‘ That the House of Pteprescntativeé
participates with the people of the United S[a[e3
in the deep interest which they feel for the guc-
cess of the Spanish provinces of South America,
which are struggling to establish their liberty and
independence : and that it will give its constitu.
tional support to the President ofthe U. States,
whenever be deemed it expedient to recognize
the sovereignty and independency of any of the
said provinces.
Mr. Smith ofhld. said the House ought to act
with cauttonand deliberation on a proposition of
this sort, which, for aught they knew, might com-r
promit the peace of the country,
Mr. Reid moved to lay it on the table, which
was negattved, 71 to 72.
On nrotion of Mr. Archer, the resolution was
divided at the word ‘ Independence-’
Mr. Montgomery assigned the reasons why
he should vote for the indefinite postponement,
and should that not prevail, against both branch.
es of the resolution. He was opposed to the first
part of it, as asserting what he did not Show to be
the fact, and what he did not believe to be the fact
as regarded his immediate cons'.itucnts—-—that the
people take a deep interest in a matter wholly fol».
ergo to them. The second part of the resolution
be wholly disapproved. He believed it to be the
true policy of this country to stand alooffrom this
conflict, as the powers ofEurope, more deeply
interest-ctl, had done. ‘Were we to engage in it,
it was difiicult to predict how it would end. Mr.
M. suggested, however, that the motion had an
object something deeper than an expression ofthe
opinion ofthis house, and that it might intend to
good the President into a course of policy which
his judgment did not approve, and which the na-
tion did not wish for. .-
Messrs.Floyd. Tylet',VValker, Mercer, Stevens,
Brown, Clay, Kinsey, and Brush, spoke in favor
of the resolution.
Mr. Foot, in order to get rid ofa subject on
which he considered the time of the House to be
unprofitably occupied. moved to lay the resolution
on the table. Tlris was negatived.
The question on agreeing to the first clause
of the resolution was then taken up by yeas and
trays, and carried--134. to I12. ’
The second clause was allct‘W.u'ds carried--87'
to 68.
A committee of two members was ordered to
be appointed to lay the same before the President.
Missounx.
Feb. 12.-——-The llouse l..ning resolved itselfin-
to a committee of the whole to take into consider-
ation the report of the committee appointed on the
Missouri subject, and the proposed amendn‘tent--
Mr. Clay gave a detailed account of the procee-
dings of the committee, of the difficulty which in-
terpcsed, and of the considerations which led to
the recommendation of tlrisamendment. Mr. C.
then went on to obviate some objections to the re-
port which had been made by the friends of Mis-
souri, as well as to those opposed to her admiss-
ion into the Union. Although those in favor of
her admission, could not succeed r:nlil'ely in their
particular views, Mr. C. was of opinion that they
had nothing to complain of. At the same time,
the report was calculated" to obviate the objections
of those who had’ opposed the admission of Mis-
souri on the ground of the objection to her Con-
stitution which had been avowed. Thus consult-
ing the opinions of both sides of the house, in that
spirit of compromise which is occasionally neces-
sary to the existence of all societies, he hoped it
would receive the cotintcnancc ofthe house.
C. concluded by earnestly invoking the spirit
of harmony and kindred feeling to preside over
the deliberations of the house on the subject.
Motions were made to amend the re.-‘.olution,
and another to postpone the whole subject indef-
initely, all which, after a long and pt‘0tt".tCte(l dc-
bate, were negatived. The question was than
stated on ordering the resolution to be read at
third time. The names of the meml.-‘ers were
called over, and the Clerk was about to pronounce
the result, when Mr. Kent and Mr. Jackson,
who were unable to attend on account ol ill health,
requested leave to record the Same. 'l he Speak-
er offered to receive their votes, if there was an
unanimous consent to his receiving them ;- the
rule of the house pcrcmptorily requiring that no
member should vote on any question unless he
was within the bar of the house. Objection was
made to their voting; and it was evident from the
sensation which filled the house, that the vote was
a close one, thong;-lr its result had not been an-
llOU|'lCL(l. Mr. Clay moved to suspend the rule
of the house; but after a while withdrew his mo-
tion, relying on the magnanimity of some mem-
ber of the nt-.rjori'.y to move for a reconsideration
of the question.
The result of the vote was then proclaimed as
follows: For the third reading 80, against it 83..
So the whole resolution, amendment and all, was
[‘cj:Cl.t"(l.
Mr. Livcrmore, who had objected to the above
contested votes, then gave notice that he should,
at 12 o'clock to-morrew, move for a re-consit.’era-
tion of this question, that every member might
have an opportunity of voting on it. Adjourntd.

The xllissouri sub_;ec.'.——At one moment, last
evening, we entertained the soul inspiring hope
that we should have had it in our power this morti-.
ing to congratulate our readers on the prospect
ofa settlement ofthis distracting question.
hope was defeated,and its fate is yet deferred. it
will be seen by the state of the vote that the adop-
tion of the report of the last committee of the
House of Representatives has been frustrated by
the votes of afew Southern gentlemen, vr ho con-
sidered that report as sacrificing too much on the
part of Missouri, though it was the most favorable
terms which, after every exertion, could be obtain-
ed for her. It is yet extremely doubtful how this
question is to be decided. The people do not re-
alize, we believe, the excitemcntwhich exists in
Congress on this subject. We wish they may
not hereafter‘ realize it too powerftrlly. It is but
bare justice to say, that, if the qtrestiotr be settled
at the present Session at all, the nation will be in-
debted for it to the unremitted and persevering
eflorts of Mr. Clay, who has devoted himself to it
with azt-al which does honor to his heart and head,
as though he desired to cam for himself, in the
last days of his service in Congres, the laurel.-
