Oti motion of Mr.Tod,tlie duty of_Q.’; per ct.
ad valorem, oti printing types,\vas stricken out,
I-Iouse qf Represeitlatitms, March 6.—On
motion of Mr. Tod, the tariff bill was aniend-
ed by inserting a tiew line, layitig a duty of30
per cent. ad valoretti tipoti ‘ oil cloths and oil
cloth carpeting.’ On his motion, also, the
bill was ziuieiided by striking out the litie itii- ~
posing a duty often cents per pound on Prus-
siati bltie.’ -Ou his uiotioii, the bill was ftir-
ther amended by raising the proposed duty
oti ‘ cttrraiits atid figs’ from three cents to four
cetits per pound.
Mr. Breck then moved to amend the follow-
itig clattse : ‘ On all matiufactures, not herein
specified, of cotton, silk, flax, or hemp, or of
\\ liicli either oftltese materials shall be a coin-
-poneiit part, a dtity tif§l5 pet‘ ceiituiii ad valo-
rotn,’by striking out _therel'roni the W()l‘(l.‘Sillt.’
Mr. Breck supported his motion by a few re-
marks, to shew that we could not, at present,
hope to do tiiticlt in tlte raising of silk-wtirtiis
atid iiianufactttte of silk ; attd that, therefore,
being auartiele very much wanted in the cottii-
try, and which we cannot produce, this duty
ottght not to be levied oti it. Negtttivetl.
Mr. For.s'_yth moved to insert a new litie in
the bill, to levy a duty of‘ 80 per cent. ad val-
oretii, on titill-stones, and all articles used in
the mattufacture ofuiill-stones.’ Rejtzctttd.
"Mr. Bttgl-ics then moved to atiicttd the bill,
by raising the proposed dtity oti ‘ Epsom salts’
fl'O111‘3 to 4 cents per pound. Carried.
Mr. Forsyth then moved that all the tliird
scctioi1_‘oftlie bill be stricken otit—it is as fol-
lows‘: ‘ From and after the 30th day ol'June,
‘I824, to the duties on all goods, wares, atid
itiercliaritlise, herein bcfore ll16nIl0l'l€tl,0l' any
other, ’there shall be added, and shall be col-
iccted and paid,the full amount of such boun-
-ty or preniititn,ot' allotvaiice in tiature thereof,
as, on the exportation ofsittiilar articles, may
be giveti, paid, or allowed, in the cotiiitry or
place frotii which the satiie shall be exported,
or in the country or place wherein the same
shall be produced or nianufactnred ;which
shall be cztlculated and ascertained,undei' such
. rules and regulations as the Secretary of the
Treastit-_v shall, from time to time, fix atid pie
scribe.’ ‘ This motion gave rise to consider-
able discussion, in the course ofwliicli,Messrs.
Forsyth, Foot, ofCotitt. IVebster, P. P. Bar-
boot and tllercer, spoke in favor of striking
out the section, principally on the ground that
the addition ofthe botitity allow ed in the for-
eign country, to the tltities levied oti the im-
ported article is an infritigetnent of that part
of our Treaty with Great Britain which pro-
vides _th'at ‘no higher duty shall be laid oti
goods, i'tnported from that country, than oti
the same at"tic‘le‘s from any other country. It
was on the ‘other side contended, that this
higher duty would result from the act of Eng-
land herself, and that she had only to do away
her bounties, and the duties here would be e-
qualized. Many other incidental points were
treated of, and the question being: had, the
clause was_ struck out by a vote of 114 ayes———
.66 noes——tvlieii the committee rose. The Nat.
Int. tliinks-this ainendmeiit will lessen the ob-
jectiotts to the hill, and that it will probably
pass the House, though by a close vote. its
late in the Senate, cannot be conjectured.
-,Sen(zte,,.MarcIt 8.—M r. Hayne ttioved that
the several rcsoltitiotis proposing atiienduietits
to the cotistittttion in relation to the electioti
of President attd Vice President, be made the
order of the day,for__tl'ie 1-.';th inst. which was
agreed to. Mr. King, of N. Y. then moved
that the whole subject he itidefitiitely postpo-
ned, iii favor ofwliich it was ttrgtted, tltat it
could not be expected that any one of the dif-
ferent propositiotis could be adopted at the
- present session—tlt.'it there was iiittcli otliet
business, mote immediately itiiportattt, to be
acted upon; as the amendttietit, ifadopted at
all, could not be adopted itt season to operate
upon the next election—and that a time when
the public iiiitid was less agitated oti the sub-
ject ofaii election, would be tiiore favorable to
the discussion. Mr. Van. Buren saw no rea-
son why the Senate could not act upoti the
subject as well now as at any future time. ‘We
ltad cotiittienced the business under circtttti-
. stances peculiarly etuspiciotts ; the subject ha'd
been refet‘i‘ed to a’ coutntittee, who, with great
iinauitnity, had reported a proposition, and he
tho’t there was tideqttaite time to act _upon it.
[On the 9th, the resoultioiis were ordered
to be laid on the table. No important bu-
siness was transacted iii the House on the 8th.
Senate, .-Uarclt 9.-—'I‘tie bill iuakitig appro-
riations for the purchase of caution, bontbs,
id howitz, for the fortilicatioits ofthe United

's an appropriation of Si .:';,000, annually,
‘-years, for the purpose specified. After

. third i'c:ttlitig—-a_yes .‘31—tioes 10.
dvocatin'_' this ‘till, Mr. Jacksoti,said he
astoiiislted ltil:‘.-.12‘ frt,-iii _!{‘3tt[lt:ll1el1,lI1 this
ate, that lllr; t-.,..tittry was to depend entire-
y upott its Navy for defence. The Navy was
certainly a pt)\\"a’1'flll artti ol defetice; littt he
considered the fortifications, also, as extt'eiiie-
ly important, as furnisltin«_v another means of
defence. He well I‘t’(:Itll(’,(:'etl with \\l1'<1l(lilfI-
culty a sufficient for'.'.e had beeti armed to de-
fend the cottiitry against the iotnahawk and
the scttlpiug knife ofa savage etieiiiy. It was
- ecessary to pay attention to the fortification
' the frontiers of the country, as well as to
' e Navy—to stop the inlets, by which ati eti-
.tiiy ttiay petietrate into the country, and tr
arrisou the strong points. With this protec-
on, Wt‘. J. said, the militia would be able to
..fend their cotiiitry,atid he should be willing;
in such a situtttion,to uiiderwrite upon itsstife
ty. Uulpss tltc cotiiitry was to be blessetl with
eternal peace, these uieans of defcitce would
be found necessary. He ktiew how l1ltlt‘l1 some
ofthe most gallanttroops the couutty could
furnish, had suffered, for want of the articles
proposed to be provided by this bill ; and hop-
ed that every gcntleinan who retraced the cir-
ctitnstatices oftlte late war, would SE8 the ne-
cessity ofproviding llteiit, and that they would
vote for this and other bills, tttitil the impor-
tant iiilcts of the eotiiitry were fortified.
Mr. King, of N. York, s:tid, it might be ex-
edient to fortify the COl11llI‘_Y,'vl[ certain expo-
poitits, btit he did not believetliat the gen-
fecling of the nation was in favour of a
general fortificatitiri of the frontiers and sea-
board. The wliole numberoffortificatiotis,
proposed to be built, would cost twenty mill-
ions ofdollars. The Navy ftirnislied a great
artn ofdefetice; bttt we have a still better re-
liauce, in the stout hearts and strong arms of
our cotintryuten. The battle ofButilter’s Hill
ftirnislied a proof that the hearts atid arins of
the yeottiaiir_v, were a better reliance than
cannon or forts. France had taken the no-
tion to fortify her country; the enemy passed
by her fortificatiotis, and conquered her itithe
very interior of the country. -,~,S,he _had no
sticli militia, as the lioiioralilegentleiiiaii-from
Tetiiiessee had called to his assistarice. The
cliaracter and the principles of-tltc people are
what we must rely upon. _ If the people are
not artned give them muskets and bayonets.
Mr. Kitig said, he would trust to Providence,
that,with these meatts,tltey would prove them-
selves not tinwortliy oftheir fathers. He had
no dottbt that we should become a great and
formidable naval power; and to that quarter
we tuiglit look for a highly ititportatit ineatis
of defetice.
[On the 10th, after an amendment so as to
extend the provisions ofthe bill to the pur-
chase of‘ field artillery, t_lieir carriages and
caissons,’ it was passed.]

The Appropriatioti Bill, for the support of

ctissioti most oftlte day. The Tariff bill was
not taketi ti'p this day.
[No important business was trntisatzted in
the House oti the 10th. The Tariff bill was
not taken tip.]
On the nth, the House were principally
occupied with the appropriation bill. A ino-
tioii to strike ottt the word “ Litna,” in the
list of Mitiistetzs to S. America, occasioned
ttittcli debate. The iiiotioti was opposed on
the consideration that we have already a
large commercial intercourse with Peru, and
it was necessary to its security to have a com-
mercial agent there. Ifwe send a minister to
the other four govertinieuts and not to Lima
it will be inferred that we do not intend to re-
cognize Perti. This was especially to be a-
voided at this tnotiietit, lest it should be said
that while no danger threatened we could
make a gasconaditig acknowledgttieitt of the.
S.Atiiericati states; but as soon as one ofthetti
was tiienaccd with attack, we are glad to turit
about attd retrace ottr steps. If we strike Li-
ma from this bill, and Peru sliottld afterwartls
be attacked by the HolyAlliance, how can we
say any thing to those powers in opposition to
Ll10it’I_VI'3|1l1lCal acts ? The late declaration of
the President has been echoed frotn every A-
niericati heart.and shall we not act in the spir-
it ofthat declaration ? Shall we stand on eti-
quette with an infant republicjust passed thro’
the last agony iii struggling for independeiice.
