egrin, to whorii was referred ilie nieinoral of
John Cleves Syi-nmes and Thomas L. Hine,
-praying to be allowed a grant of land on the

moved that the committee be discharged
therefrom, and, as the memorial related to.

be requested to couirnuuicaie to this House
the proposals made, through Gen. Jackson, by
the Path Killer and his Chiefs of the Chero-
kee tribe of Indians, in the year 18:20 or 1821,
to make a cessiori of their lands to the United
$itates—togetlier witlraiiyoilior propositions
made in relation to the same subject, of which
he may he possessed.’ This resolution lies on
the table one day ofcourse.
Mr.Barllett offeicrl the following resolution:
‘ Resolved, That the Committee ofVVays and
Means be instructed to inquire -into the expo-
diency of imposing a tax upon domestic dis-
‘tilled spirits, and of providing by law for the
collection of the sauie.’ The resolution was
-disagreed to. -
The engrossed bill ‘providing for the ap-
pointment of_an Agent to reside with the Os-
-age Indians,’ was read atliird time, passed,
-and sent to the Senate.
A message was received from the Senate,
notifying that they insist on their arncndrnerii
to the Naval Appropriation bill, which was to
str-ike out the specification of the items to
which the contingent fund is to be applied,
leaving it to the discretion of the Secretary of
the Navy; and ask a conference upon the sub-
ject. On motion of Mr.McLaiie,tlieH0lI5L’
resolved to insist on their disagreement to the
amendment of the Senate ; agreed to tliie
conl'ere'nce; anda committee of five were
appointed to meet the coininittee appointed
on belialfof the Senate.
Revision of the Tarifl".—Mr.ForsyiIi_rose
and withdrewtlie intimation, yesterday given,
of his intention now to move the indefinite

suggestion ofseveral members (contrary to his
_ previous impression,) that the features of the
l bill were not sufficiently fixed by votes in com-
mittee of the whole, as to determine all the
members to vote decisively for or against the
rejection ofthe bill in its present state.‘ He
should therefore defer his Inotion until the
question had been settled as to the amount of

And the question being on _C0lICUl'.l‘lIIg iii the

‘ Mr. Tod rose, and delivered, at length, his
sentiments on the general principles of the
bill, in reply totlie speeches made on the oth-

Mr. Wuqbsterand Mr. Hamilton, and continu-
ed his remarks till past Si o’clock. I 1 ‘d d _

Iiiore doubtful than ever.
VVAsgrs¢:,-i-on, April 6.—VVith the aid of
the Yeas and Nays, Mr. Allen of Mass. suc
ceeded yesterday in the House ofRepreseuta-
tives, in getting his iriotion,to fix a day for the
adjournnient of the present Congress, taken
up, by a majority of4 votes. So small a nia-
‘ jority in favor of the consideration ofthe Iiio-
tion does not appear to be auspicious to its
present success. The House, it will be seen,
did not act further upon the proposition yes-
terday; but it appears quite probable‘, that the
disposition manifested in favor of itteiided to
the acceleration of the question on the motion
to reduce the proposed iiiiuiinuni on cotton
. goods,which, it will be seen, has at length been
- - taken, and decided in the negative. Arduous
sitting may now be expected upon this bill.
./Qbolishment qf Impiisonmeitt for Dcbt.—A
great principle triumphed in the Senate yes-
terday, and the day will be remembered as
" one ofthe brightest in its history. That body
gave its final sanction to an act, which will
command the applause of the country, and
acquire itselfa durable renown. One branch
of the National Legislature has, at length,
said, that Debt shall no longer be considered
‘ criminal——that the dungeon shall no longer
be the portion of the honest debtor. It has
formally declared against the primiple of Int-
prisonment for debt ; it has troddeii down and
trampled under foot one ofthe last remnants
of Feudal and Roman barbarism, which habit
has been able successfully to ripliold until now
against the spirit of the agc.—.N'at. Intell.
Fitoiit MEXICO. —By the sclir. ’I‘riIiimer,we
have papers and advices froiu the interior of
Mexico to the 6th oflast month. It appears
that an arrangement has been effected by
which the several Provinces are to have dis-
tinct governments, the whole tinited in ft cori-
federacy, similar to that ofthe United States.
The Provinces of Mexico, Yucatan, Puebln,
Zacatecas,Guadalajara, Xalapa, (and one oth-
er) had joined in this confederacy and estab-
lished their local governnients. One of the
articles of the Union, provides for the securi-
ty and protection of Europeans. Some ofthe
‘ letters express fears that this systcrri of gov-
ernment will not belong adhered to, and that
it does not possess sufficient energy, to control
the unenlightened population. No apprehen-
sions existed that Spain would attempt to re-
cover the couiiti__‘y.—-.‘hlci'c. fldv.

without any further charge. The English
spinners caanot spin for less than two pence
or three pence per lb. Mr. Brewster’s ina-
cliine facilitates the spinning so iiiricli as to
have reduced the price to one cent per lb. 1-,
And not only the best Merino wool can he
spun at this price, but even the fincst Saxon
wool so much superior even to the Merino,
and of which the finest and highest priced
cloths are made.

al Gazette says, the high stations which the
applicants have occupied, arc paraded to en-
jforce their pretensions. This reminds us of a
circumstance which we heard a late eminent
physician mention. Inla journey to the north,
he encountered an elderly Indian, who stated,
in his bad English, that he had been king of
a tribe, and after laying claim to various lofty
iitles~nnd glorious feats, ended, by saying,

Senate on the appropriation bill, Mr. Rufus
King, in the course of his rciiiarlts‘ in favor of
his iuotion for the appoinimeiit and salary of
an agent, cited a nnniber ofinstaiiccs to prove
that it has always been the practice of the
Executive since the establisluneut ofthe gov-
ernment, to appoint such special agents, when
the service of the country required. Tlie~e
remarks were replied io,somewhat sneeringly,
by Mr. Holmes, of .\'Iaine. In his reply iothe
argumeuts which had been urged against him
from several quarters, Mr..King, said, ‘ in any
iuforiiiation lieinight hereafter think proper
to corniuriiiicate to the Senate, or in any re-
urrrks he might make there, he begged the
Senate not to consider hiui as adrlressiiig him-
self at all to the gentleirian from Maine; for
he should, ever after, consider, that gentleinaii
as beingfar above all z'nj'ornIati'on.from whal-
evcr source it might come.’ Mr. H. felt the
reproof, rose, and attcrupted to say something,
but sat down again, evidently disconcerted.’
Mrt. RANDOLPH.-—\Ve regret to state, that
Mr. John Randolph, M. C. lately sustained
considerable loss in consequence of about 40
hlids. of pririie Tobacco, of his last crop, being
swaniped on its way by water from this place
to Ricliriiond. What doubtless added no lit-
tie to the vexation naturally caused by this ac-
cidcrii, was the circumstance that the craft
employed was an old Gun-Boat; to which
species of vessel it is known that. Mr. Rati-
dolph has always entertained as great an an-
tipathv as is expressed by Shakespeare’s Rich-
ard llId. towards the spiders that crossed his
path in a dream. Mr. R. having visited Rich-
mond on Saturday, is reportr=d to have said.
*‘ 'l'h.-it he always had a presenliment that he
should one day come to some all by those Gun-
boats!” He, however, good-liiiuiororlly told
ilie surrounding piirclizisers, " That he knew
they iwre all opposed to the Tf!7'%'f-lhl’7"f0I'c.
they must mulrr haste rnzd;_ri'vr2 him agood price

not only vote, btii wield the broad-swordofliis
eloquence against the ‘ huge niishapen’ iiioIis-
ter. Mr. R’s price for his tobacco was $10-
he received for it in its daniaged state, 8 50-
so that his loss may be estimated.

Combination oflndians.-——The Missouri In

contains the following important information:
‘ We are indebted to the politeness ofa friend
at Fort Osage, for the following infnrmat'Ion,
direct from Arkansas, which is from an an
thentic source. Major Cummings, the com-
mandant at Fort Smith, has demanded ofthe
Osage Chiefs those who committed the late
murdersjn that quarter. The chiefs are will--
ing to surrender tliem,hiit cariuot force obedi-
ence, as the murderers refuse to be given up,
and are protected by a majority ofthe nation.
The commandant has given them until the
16th Jan. to consider it; at the expiration of
which time, unless they should be given up,
an attempt will be made to take thetn by force.
A letter of late date from a respectable
source, on the Arkansas, states that the Osa-
ges, Cherokees, Kickapoos_ and Delaware:-'
iiiet at Chouteau’s lrtldlllg-llollse, and joined
in a great dance. Mr. Auguste Clioutea sta-
ted that this savoured very much of a combi-
nation of those nations against the whites.—
Such a thing would be very dangerous tothe
frontier settlements ofArkansas and Nlissoiiri,
and require a considerable force.to quell it.-
The Union Mission family are much alarmed,
and the Harmony family do not consider
themselves free from danger.
The settlers upon the Arkansas are raising
volunteers, and have already organized one
company.
