expediency of directing the United States

when transported by water. . ‘ '_ ‘ ’
On motion of Mr. Hamilton, of S.Carolina,
it was Resolved, Thatthu Naval‘ Committee
be instructed to inquire into the justice and
expediency ofallowing lVI1‘S.‘Sf.11'!ll'l Perry,the
mother ofthe late Capt.‘Oliver H. Perry, "a.
pension during her natural life. Mr.Trimble,
of Kentucky, wislied to include .thelcase of
Mrs. Lawrence. Mr. Hamilton said he tho’t
that though the cases of the venerable Mrs.
Perry and the widow of ‘the "lamented 'L'a‘w-
rence, were in many respects siinilar, yet
there were some points of difference in them
tvliich rendered it inexpedient to blend them
together. Mr. Cambreleng, of New-York,
disclaimiug all opposition to the object of the
resolution, an object in which lie' féelingly
andfiilly concurred, was of opinioti that the
cases of Mrs. Lawrence and'Mr's.Perry might
better have a separate coiisideration. The
case of Mrs. Perry required a distinct actof
Legislation—tliat of Mrs» Lawreticedid not,
being one of a class of cases heretofore reg-
ularly provided for by law, her husband hav-
ing fallen in battle. But it should be remem-
bered that, through some inadvortence, the
act, providing pensions for the widows and
orphans of naval officers killed in battle, was
omitted to be reviewed at the last Session of
Congress, previous to which it had expired.
The fund froiu which that relief was dispens-
ed was a sacred one : it had been raised out
ofthe Navy itself, and it slionld everbe held
sacred to the object for which it was raised.
He intended, on‘Monday, to move for a revi-
val ofthe act, and if, as be trusted, it should
be revived, be cherished a strong hope that
the Committee of Claims would pitt the veri-
erable lady who was the subject ofthe present
resolution, also, on the pension list. The fund
was ample to embrace both classes of cases.
On motion of Mr. Foote, ofN.York, it was
Resolved, that the committee on ‘commerce be
instructed toinquire into the expediency of
regulating by law, the commerce among the

livan,aiid eightor ten Spanish gentleinen,in—
eluding some Constitiitionalists. lVe learn
from the passengers, who reached town last
eveiiiiig, that all was tranquil at Cadiz,wliicl1
was still garrisoned by~Freiicli troops. The
Governor Donnay, recently appointed by the
King, has been removed by the French com-
mander, in consequence ofliis attempting to
execute some cruel orders from Ferdinand a-
gainst certain Constitutionalists.———The King
had left Seville, but had not proceeded to-
wards Madrid. The Constilulioniilists were
still in arms in Catalonia, but no further seri-
ous oppositioii to the new state of things was
appreliended. The commercial regulations
which existed at Cadiz previous to the revo-
littiognvere pgain adopted and in force. Flour

Our informants did not hear of nor see any
preparations in the harbor for a foreign expe-
dition. Our Minister, Mr. Nelson, had not
yet arrived in Spain. Mr. M’Ilvain is bearer
of dispatches for Government, from Mr. Ap-
pleton, our charge des Affairs at Cadiz.
‘.N'ew-Yorlr, Dec. 11.—Among the passen-
gers in the Gen. Brown frotn Cadiz, are two
members ofthe late Spanish Cortes,wlio were
deputies from Mexico, anda gentleman of
Cuba, who was attached to the Coustitiitional
army in Spain. Those who were exiled
from Cadiz had liberty to proceed to France,
England,or America. Immediately after the
surrender ofthe place, about 300 embarked
in a French frigate, and were landed at Gib-
ralrar—most of them intended to proceed
thence to England. It was rumored atCi1-
diz just before the General Brown sailed,that
King Ferdinaiid waslto proceed to Paris to
attend a meeting of the continental powers
for the purpose ofarranging their future plans.
A London paper by the Meteor, speaks of
such a design and states-that England had
been invited to send a minister to the meet-
ing. One object ofthis,Congress, says a pri-
vate letter, is to consider the present state of
the South American Colonies. ’ I '

The warin Spain was nearly ended, and
part of the French army was on its return to
France. An armistice had been agreedupon
for the surrender of Barcelona, the terms of
which were not known; but it is said'Minn
had sworn allegiance to Ferdinatid. It ap-
pears to be believed that the King of Spain
had been induced to agree to modify his rig-
orous decrees against the Coustitutionalists.
