Amemorial oftheNew-Bedford merchants, for an additional ditty on tallow, was referred to the Committee on Agriculture. Mr. Cain- breleng presented a memorial from the tal- low chandlers of New-York, in opposition to that presented by the merchants ofNew-Bed- ford, which was referred to the Committee of Manufactures. »~ On motion of Mr. Canibreleng, the Com.-‘ niittee on Naval Affairs was instructed to in- quire into the expediency of coiitiiiuing pen- sions to the widows or orphans of all officers, 'seainen, and marines, who may have. been slain in the public or private armed vessels of the U. State’s,or”-wlio may have died of wounds received while in the service of their country; and to all_othcr widows or orphans who may have been placed on the navy pension roll, by special -acts of Congress: and of authorizing the payment of such stuns as may be due muse. widows and orphans, whose pensions may have,“ beenisuspended. Resolved, That the said coiuinittee be further instructed to inquire into the expediency ofgrantiug pen- sions to Lydia Allen and Penelope Denny. The judiciary committee was instructed to inquire iitto the propriety of giving conci_ir- rent jurisdiction to the Supreme or Superior Cotirts oflaw, of the respective States, in ca- ses arising under the act, granting privileges for useful inventions; and also of allowing costs in cases where dainages may be recov- ered for violations of patent rigltls. A committee on Roads and Canals was or- dered, by a vote of 36 to 77. On motion of Mr. Brent, the secretary of the Treasury was directed to lay before the house all the reports, which have been for- warded by‘ the several Coitiniissioiiiws and Registers ’in"relation to the adjilstmenl Of Land Claims derived from the French and Spanish authorities, situated in that part of the State of Louisiana which constituted the late Territqry of Orleans. _ The coinmittee on public lands, were in- strucied to inquire as to the expediency of dis- posing as speedily as possible ofthe U. States lands on Red River, Lou. ;_and of reducing the price of lands in the prairies ol;Louisiana to a price which will induce purchases. _ On motion of Mr. Cook, a select commit- tee was ordered, to consider so much ofthe .acts for the adinission oflndiana and Missou- ri into the Union, as sets apart a portion of the money, arising from the sale of public lands in those states, for the purpose of con- structing roads &L canals leading to those states respectively. It having been proposed to refer this subject to the committee on Roads, 826. Mr. Cook said the. subject of Roads and Canals, in general, was one which usually produced much disciissiou in this House ; it was one respecting which there existed alwi-l)'S doubtless an.honest difference ofopinion. The resolution now before the House by no means involved that question, its object being to bring into activity a fund set apart and specifically pledged for the purposes contemplated by the resolution. He would not,tbereforc, throw it before a committee which was likely to have before it a vast deal of business from the older 5rares,where it might, to useacouimon phrase, be overlaid by more ponderoiis subjects. On a motion of Mr. Vfhipple, it was Resol- ved, That the Committee on Military Atlairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency ‘of providing by law for an additional number of Qiiarteriiiasters and Assistants to be em- ployed in the Quiirtertitasters Department of the Army of the United States, who shall be taken from the line ofthe Anny. ‘ The House proceeded to the considetarion ofthe resolution offered yesterday, in relation to extending the Circuit Cotirt of the United States into certain States. The question be- ing on the ainendnient, (which extended the proposition from Alabama to all the States where no Circuits are now held,) it passed in the aflirmative; and thus amended, the reso- lution was agreed to; &. the House adjourned. Iffedrnesday, Dec. 10.—But little business of general interest was transacted in the Senate this dav. The Standing Committees were named’; various parts of the Pres'idcut’s Mes- sage referred ; the Rev.Dr.Stau_gliion elected Chaplain; and the resolutions lor appointing coininittees on Roads &LCanals,and to inquire into the expediency of abolishing imprison- ment for debt, were adopted. Thursduy.——A resolution introduced bywlr. Benton, passed to a second reading, providing for an alteration of the Constitution, so that the Electors ofPresidcnt and Vice President of the U. States, shall be elected in each state, by districts, in the manner Representatives to Congress are-chosen. If no person have a majority of the Electoral votes for President, the choice to be made by the House of Rep- resentatives, from the three candidates hay- ing the greatest number of votes——-and, in such case, the choice of Vice President by the Senate. ‘ Mr. Haynegave notice that he should, on Monday next, ask leave to introduce a reso- liition proposing an atnendinent ofthe Con- stitution, so as to secure the election of Pres- ident and Vice President ofthe United States by the Electors, and prevent the election from devolving, in any event, on the House of Representatives. , _ . _ A petition from Archibald Gracie, of N.

The. Cbminittee on Mllitary Aflhirs were instructed ti)’ inquire into the expediency of fortifying the harbor of Pensacola; also, of resuming the works on Dauphin Island, for the defence of Mobile. The Committee on the Judiciary, were di- rected to inquire as to the expediency of revi- ving the acts allowing salaries to the District Judges,so as to equalize as near as practicable their compensation; whether any alterations are necessary in the exising law establishing rules Q/‘naturalization.

Tliiirsday, Dec. ll.——On motion of Mr. Hemphill, it was resolved, that the President of the U.S. be requested to communicate such parts of the correspondence of our late minis- ter to France, with the French governinent,&zJ (with the Sec’ry of State, relative to claims for spoliation, on our commerce,as may be deem-, ed not inconsistent with the public interest. . On motion of Mr. l\‘I’Laue, of Del. it was. resolved, that the President be requested to communicate all such parts of-the correspond- ence witli the government of Spaimtouching the Florida treaty, to theperiod of its final nicated, and may not be inconsistent with the public interest to communicate. On motion of1VIr.Stori‘s, the P.l‘v'I. General was directed to communicate a statement of the amount ofpostage received at each post- oliice in the U. States during the year 189.2. On motion of Mr. Gazlay, the P._l\l. Gen- eral was directed to exhibit. a statement ofde- falcations in his department, prior . to July 1823. [It appeared, said Mr. G. that in 1814 there was a balance due the departineiit,froiu post-iuasters, of ,‘S'£00,0()0.

The committee on coinmerce‘was instruct- ed to inquire into the expediency of impo- sing a specific duty onPotal0es imported froui Nova Scotia, Ireland, &.c. Also, as to erect- ing a light house at the lower end ofBrandy- wine Shoal, and a beacon light near the ex- treniity of Cape llenlopen. The Committee on MilitaryAffairs were in- structed to inquire into the expediency ofcon- structiug some works of defence at some suit- able point near the line dividing the U.Statcs from Canada,on the margin of L.Chauiplain. The bill reported yesterday, making an ap- propriation for the relief of Daniel D. Tomp- kins, was, after debate, ordered to be engross- ed for a third reading to inorrow. Messrs. Cockc, Caiubrcleng, M’Lane, Liv- ermore, Clay, Triinble and lVood took a,part in this debate. Mr. Cocke moved to strike out the enacting clause, which of course went to defeat the bill. Before voting for the bill he wished to be convinced that the money was due. Besides this was not all the claim. He made his objections to see whether the House will, without further iiiformatiou, vote away this sum, especially when they know I1 much larger one will he demanded liereafteI‘- The bill was supported by Messrs. Cornbre- leng, M’Laue, Clay, Trimble, and Vlfood, on various grounds, particularly as Congress had at the last session passed an act authorising an equitable adjustment of Mr. Tonipkius’S claims, thus much had been allowed, and the object of the bill was only to pay it. James Brown, ofLouisiana, has been ap- pointed, by the President ofthe U. S. with the advice and consent ofthe Senate, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary to France,vice Mr.Gallatin, resigned. The following appointments, made by the President during the recess, ltave been con- firmed by the Senate ofthe U. States, viz : Samuel L.

P1~iL'atceri12g.—Tlie Nat. Int. thinks that Privateering is the vmrsc of piracy. The case maybe the reverse. Abolish the inoculation, and you may have the disease in the natural and more virulent way. In time ofwar, were Privatecrine; abolished, private war on the sea might be still prosecuted to nearly the same extent ; but unregulated, and therefore more liceutious and ferocious. The question is whether the spirit of privateering, inherent in a people of much inaritiine enterprise, could national hostilities. Our enibargoes only ttg. gravated the evil of smuggling-—.'V'at. Gaz. From .N"cw-Orleans.—By the arrival ofthe ship Virginia, from N. Orleans, we have re- ceived papers to the 23d of November. It appears from the papers, that the Mayor had received a letter informing hitn of some plot among the slaves, and that his honor, act- ing upon this communication, had called in- to the field a body of volunteers who, after an expedition through swamps and ditches, met with no other enemies than a few Snakes and Alligators. The information received by the Mayor was communicated by a runaway inulatto, whose object seems to ha '!'.: been to save himself from chastisement by pretend- ing he had discovered a plot, and undertook to pilot the military expedition into the very camp of the enemy; but not finding any, the legion he led determined not to retiiru with- out taking a prisoner, atid therefore seized him and conveyed him to the city, where he was thrown into prison. A letter is published in the New-Orleans papers, denying the information comiiiiini- cated in a letter from Tainpico that thcMex- ican government had ordered all European Spaniards, and those from Havana, to leave the country.——.N'.

The Turks had taken possession of A- thens which was deserted at their approach. Great dissentions exist among the Patriots, and several of the Grecian Islands were at variance.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER lit, 18:23.". “VXRTUE, LIBERTY,AND INDEPENDENCE.” ./9ccident.—Oii Thursday last Mr. Samuel l’artrick,of Cranberry-Plain, aged about 65, was crushed to death by "the wheel ofa loaded cart, before which he accidentally fell while driving. This is the second person who has lost his life in this town, from the same cause, within It few weeks. ./lnother.—On Saturday Mr..Tohn Benedict, of Ridgfield,was killed by the falling ofa tree. The particulars ofthis melancholy occurrence we have not been able to ascertain. The Greek cause is at length exciting a proper sympathy and attention among the friends ofliberty in this country. The citi- zens ofPltilarlelpliia and Albany have imita- ted the patriotic exainple oftheir brethren in New-York, and called meetings to devise measures for aiding them in their sti'iiggle.—' The Professors and students of Princeton and Columbia Colleges are also awake on the siib- ject, and the Pilot inforuis us that subscrip- tions _are fast filling tip in Yale for the same object. In Coiigress likewise,Greec.e has liei friends, as will be seen by our journal of pro- ceedings in the House of Representatives. If any thing more were necessary to con- vince theAinerican people ofthe claims which the Greeks have on their libcrality, we feel assured that the following stateinent of the number o_f_women and children delivered over to the horrors of Turkish slavery and barbar- ity from the ill-fated Island of Scio, will be ftilly suflicient for this purpose. It is given in a letter from Cambridge, Mass. published in the New-York American of Friday :— ‘ Official returns from the Turkish Custom House atScio,reportforty-one llwusanii women and children to have been sold asgslaves, and to have paid auction duties at that office, in the months of May and June, 1892. The fat- thers, brothers,and liusbands, ofthese woineu and children met with a more enviable fate. and were butchered. My feelings have been much iiiierested the week past by hav- ing in my family a Sciote boy of l3years old, who escaped from the island the day theTurks landed. He had one uncle amougtlie hostages murdered at Scio, and another among those sent. to Constantinople,and put to death there. Greek Fund.——Colonel \Villett, ot'N.York, as the only contribution his circumstances al- low him to make in aid of the Greeks, has presented to the cliairinan ofthe N. Y. Coin- mittee his title to two thousand acres of land, for which he has a fair tilzlllll on the state. The bill to reduce the rate ofinterest from 7 to 0 per cent. has passed both houses ofthe Legislature of N. Jersey: the bill to abolish iiiiprisoizinent for debt has also passed. By the Bridgeport papers we learn that Mr. Joseph May atid his faintly, who composed part of the expedition under Captains Blake- man aitd Allen, which, in the spring of 1819, left their homes for the wilds of Illinois, have returned to Bridgeport. It will be recollectt-.il thatanother family belonging to this expedi tion arrived at Stratford last spring. ’I‘hc ori- ginal numberofsettlei's was about 9.0; it is now very sittall, having been reduced by removals and death. Those who have returned bring up an unfavorable report ofthe land. Altlio’ the soil is rich, the climate is unhealthy, the weather extreuiely cliangeable, and the water had. It is a prairie coiiiury, ofa marshy sur- face, froin which arises almost perpetual fogs. The settlers found it impossible to sell their produce, or to procure foreign articles ; and when Mr. May determined iipou leaving, he could sell his farm, which cost 3500, for no more than an old horse and 'l0fl9'_.g‘OTl. .Muralcr.—A man namedJohnZiminerinan, living on the borders of Leliigli county,Penu. last week 1niu'dercdIii'.s own duughler,a young woman aged about 9.0, to prevent her con- tracting a inarriage, of which he disapproved. It is said he drove the rest of the fairiily from the house, then dragged her from the bed, trampled upon, and linally killed her. Remarkable coinciclcnce.-—A late London paper mentions the trial, conviction, and exe- cution ofa man named John Johnson,for inur- dering a person named James fllurray. A Spanish brig from Havana for N. York, struck on a reef of rocks off Montaug Point on the night of the 6th inst. and 6 ofthe crew perished. Captain, mate, 2 passengers, and 6 seamen saved.

Thirty-four men have been convicted ofa conspiracy to excite a riot and to take forcible possessionofWesleyChurch, in Philadelphia, and an assault and battery upon the preacher. Two stores and two dwelling houses were consuined by fire about three weeks since, in Painesville, Ohio, and goods to the amount of $10,000, in one ofthe stores destroyed. A Powder-l‘vIill in Lee, Mass. was blown tip on the 26th ult. and 22 of the workmen killed.
