vice. ‘_It appeared to h’im,to havebeen a se-
vere "sentence. The p_erson dismiss'ed- was
known and acknowledged to have been a me-
ritorious officer. He had many friends, and
much S0llClilld8'\\aS felt in his behalf. He
believed there were also many members of
this House who wished to know the reasons
which had led to the distnissal ofsuch a young
man fioni the naval service of the country.
Mr. Bartlett, of N.H. expressed a hope that
it was not understood, as a matter of course,
that all the proceedings of all courts martial
were to be published by order oftliis House;
For liimselfhe could perceive no reason why.
these proceedings should be revised by..Coii-
gress, any more than the proceedings in civil
courts. The house had called for the pro-
ceedings in another case, because the person
accused was acquitted ; now they were to do
it because the accused person had been con-
demned. He could not see the propriety of
‘such a call, unless some complaint was made
of injustice in the proceedings, and he hoped
the house would not encumber its table with
useless documents. . -
Mr.Trinible,of Ky. observed, that he would
vote with as much pleasure for this call as for
any other, if he knew that the gentleman who
made it proposed to take any step in conse-
'quencc of receiving the papers. He had ex-
pressed no such intention, and, if his object
was merely to get the papers before the house
and print a book, he should be opposed to it.
Formerly, it was held a decisive objection to
any proposition of printing, if the mover did
not intend to offer any proposition to the
house upon the papers when printed. Let
gentlemen look at this rule, and then at_the
vast annual increase ofexpense frotii printing,
and they would be convinced that it was their
duty to withhold their consent to motions of
this kind, when nothing was to grow out of
them. The motion was negatived.
Roads and Canals.——Mr. Bailey, of Mass.
offered the following resolutions :
Resolved, That the construction of Roads
and Canals is highly important to the Union,
s't'rengtli,%r. general prosperity ofthe U.States.
Resolved, That since the individual states
have reliiiqtiislied to the General Gov’t. tlie_
‘control of the most easy and efficient means
of raising revenue, it is fit that a portion of
the general revenue, it‘ consistent with the
constitution, should be appropriated to this
important object.
iesolved, That, while alarge portion ofthe
people and of their Representatives in Con-
gress, believe such appropriations to he in-
consistent with the constitutional power of
Congress, an obstacle is presented to the ac-
complishment ofthe object, which, joined to
the diversities ofopinion always existing in re-
lation to the expediency of specific measures,
threatens t'o be deeply injurious, if not fatal, to
that vigorous and full developeineiit of our
resources, which the interests of the Union
loudly demand, l
Resolved, That a system which should
leave toithe several States the expenditure of
money appropriated to this object by the U.
States, would ensure a more equal participa-
tion in the bounty by the several states, more
economy in.its disbursement, more freedom
from sectional feelings, and injurious com-
promises in legislation, and more prdiiiptitude
in commencing works ofimprovement, for the
completion of which the several States would
be secure of poss‘e‘ssii~ig the means.
Resolved, That-the several states ought to
have the power to expend money so appropri_-
ated, in improving river and coast navigation,
and in proinoting education, colonizatioii, 8:.
the liberal and useful arts, wlieuever, in their
o,r.iniou,its expenditure for these objects would
be more useful than in constructing roads and
canals. . -
Resolved, That Congress ought to have
power to make surveys of coasts, rivers, and
road and canal routes, to aid the states in se-
lecting those objects of iinprovemeiit which
may most effectually contribute to the good
of the whole.
Resolved, That Congress otight to have
power to construct roads and canals, whenev-
er they shallbe wanted for urgent purposes-of
military, commercial, or mail communication.
Resolved, That Congress ought to have
power to establish a National University, on
a plan which shall secure to each state ajust
portion of its advantages.
Resolved, That Congress ought to have
power to offer and distribute prizes for promo-
ting agriculture, education, science, aiid the
liberal and useful arts: thus, by asmall annu-
al expense stimulating genius and industry to
the greatest and most useful "exertions :—
'l‘»herefore,
Resolved by the Senate and House ofRep-
resentatives ofthe U. S. ofAmerica in Con-
gress assenibled,two thirds of both houses con-
curring, That the following be proposed as
an amendment to the Constitution ofthe U.
States, which when ratified by the Legisla.
tures of three-fourths of the several states,
shall he a part of said constitution .
“ That Congress shall have power...
“ To appropriate money for constructing
roads and canals, for improving river and
coast navigation,and for promoting education,
colonization,,and the liberal and useful arts ;
the money to be paid to such agents, and for
such ofthese objects as the states respective-
ly, and Congress for the District ofColunibiti,
shall, by law, direct, and in parts proportioii-
ed to their constitutional census : .
“ To make surveys of_ coasts, rivers, and
road and canal routes; to construct roads and
canals for urgent purposes of military, coni-
mercial, or mail communication,; to establish
a National University, securiiig’to each state
:1 just portion of its advantages ; and to offer
and distribute prizes for promoting agricul-
ture, education, science, and the arts.
These resolves having been read, were re.
ferred to a coiiiniittee of tire whole and 0,-
dered to‘ be printed.
Mr. Mitchell, of Tenn. presented the fol.
lowing, which was ordered to be printed: j '
Resolved, That the Constitution of the U.
States ought to be so amended as to render
each and every member ofthe Senate and of
the House of Representatives ofthe U. States,
ineligible fto, and incapable of holding, any
office, or appointment, which is within the
gift or patronage of the President, or of'.any of‘
the Heads of Department, within the term for
which‘sucli Senator or Representative shall
have been elected,and for one year tliereafter.
A bill making_ appropriations for the pay
and (:0lllll)"’€ll[ expenses of the members and
officeis of the house was passed, and sent to
we Sianate-—aud the house adjourned.
Sr:.v.tTE, DEC. 14.——Mr. Benton submitted
the following : Resolved, That a select coin.
\
lnittee be appointed, with instruction to in-
quire iuto the expediency of ;imen,ding the
constitution ofthe United States, so as to pro-
vide {grille election of President and Vice
President, by adirecl vote of the people, in
districls. , '.
The following resolution submitted by Mr.
Lloyd yesterday, was taken up :
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy
be directed to cause to be laid'before the Sen-
ate, the proceedings and judgment of the
court of Inquiry in relation to the employment
of the squadron under Com. Porter,_ for the
suppression of piracy in the West Indies, and
the transportation of specie, in vessels of the
U. States, during the years 1823 and 18% ;
and the proceedings of the court martial in
reference to the transactions at Foxardo.
Mr.Lloyd observed that the first part ofthe
resolution had been offered at the solicitation
of the commodore himself. The second part
he had added because the proceedings had
been printed for the use of the members, and
were now ready for distribution.
The resolution was agreed to: and then the
senate went into the consideration of Execu-
tive business. The nomination of Mr. King,
however, was not taken up, from whichit was
inferred that it would meet with opposition.
The business transacted by the House was
not of general interest.
Dec. l5.—Much time was spent by the
senate in considering Mr. Bentoii’s resolution
for giving the eiectioii of President to the
people. Mr. Hayne proposed so to amend
the resolution as to prevent the choice coming
to the House ofkepresentativesin any event,
which was agreed to, but after some further
conversation the following resolution was a-
dopted, in room ofthe ones before proposed.
and a select committee ofnine was ordered to
be appointed. .
Resolved, That a select committee be ap-
pointed, who shall inquire into the expediency
of so amending the constitution, in the elec-
tion of President and Vice President of the
U. States, as to attain the most preferable $3
safest mode in regard to such elections.
The House was engaged a long time in
consideration of resolutions relative to un-
claimed dividends. of'U. S. -stock, and to the
selection ofa sitefor a western armoury. A
resolution was offered by Mr.Bailies request-
ing the sec’ry of the Navy to inform the house
whether the sloop of war Boston, about to be
commissioned, might not be employed in ex-
ploring the Notthwest coast of America.
Extract to the editor from a Senator in
Corigress.—“ The excess of the Revenue has
induced many members to talk ofa reduction
of the duties on such articles as enter into the
consumption of almost every family: Such as
Coffee, Teas, Cocoa, Wines, and Salt. It
may be necessary to prevent smuggling from
the North American Colonies. Already the
importation of Teas into them has been felt
by our China. merchants. They pay little
duty,whilst otir duties are extraviigantly liigli.
We payfivc dollars duty on 100 lbs. coffee,
whilst they pay only one dollar. The coiise-
quences on all our Eastern and Nortlie‘rn bor-
ders will soon he felt by our revenue, and can
be prevented in no way but by a reduction of
our duties. The colonies have now an open
commerce with all the world, and will flourish
by smuggling their iiiiportations into the U.
St-aies.—Balt. Put.
Copy of. a letter from a Meiriber of Con-
gress.—“ Believe me, Sir, we are all alive to
the greatinjury received by our citizens from
the unjustifiable spoliations of France, and
anxious so far as is within our power to afford
reliefto the severe wounds our commerce has
received. You must have read with pleasure,-
the energetic appeal of the President to Cou-
grcss, and it will be attended to, with prompt-
ness and alacrity. It is time that the French
government should kiioiv, that the reinon-
straiices of an American minister are not to
be treated with silence atid couteinpt: and
that however late it may be, we are resolved
to obtain redress for the disguised war, which
under Napoleon dynasty, has been levied a-
gainst us. To evince more fully, the senti-
ineiit of the nation upon this important sub-
ject, I would recommend the immediate pre-
sentinent of strong memorials to Congress.
V2'rgim'a.—The legislature ofVirginiainet
at Richmond on the 5th inst. On the follow-
ing day, Governor Pleasants addressed the
two houses by message. He informs them
that the wheat crop has been reduced in quan-
tity by the rust, and that the price of wheat is
low—that the corn crop has been injured by
the dryness of the suniiner—tliat tobacco
brings good prices—and that the culture of
cotton in the state has been successful. Allii-
ding to sotne ofthe measures of the general
governnient, he recommends to the attention
of the Assembly the Tariff Law, and the acts
directing surveys of’ routes for roads lst. canals.
The Tariff adopted, he considers as a tax on
one portion of the Union, intended as a pre-
mium to another portion. He does not think
that Congress has power to expend the reve-
nues of the U. States, in constructing roads
and canals. The claim of the state on the
treasury of the United States, for intereston
money ad vauced by the state during the late
war, has been adjusted and paid. The a-
mount paid is $178,480, of which sum fifty
thousand dollarshave been paid to the Rector
and Visitors of :ne University. The state of
the University is prosperous. According to
returns from 98 counties and towns, 10,2226
indigent children have been sent to school the
last year. A contract has been tiiade with Mr.
'I‘anner, of Philudelpliia, to engrave the map
ofthe state, for the sum of four thousand five
hundred dollars, the engraving to be finished
in a year.—-—Boston Daily ./Idu.
Illi7tois.—Gov. Coles has recently returned
to Vandalia fr. his tour to the Eastern States.
In consequence of his absence, the duties bf
the office were exercised by Mr. Hubbard,the
Lt. Governor, who contends, since the return
of the Governor, that by his absence from the
State he has vacated the office,and that incre-
fore the dirty ofthe administration ofthe gov-
.ernnieiit has devolved upon the second oflicer
ofthe state. Since Gov. Coles has resumed
his duties. the Lieut. Governor issued a corn-
mission which was presented to the Secretary
of State forhis signature—.-that ofiicer differ.
mg in his views of the COX'lSllIul.l0fl, with the
Lieut. Governor, refused to sign the same, or
aflix the official seal thereto. _It is expected
that the question will be subuiitted to the Sn-
preme Court of the State for the purpose of
having it properly settled.

".l‘UESDA‘,Y,V DECEMBER 20, 1325.
C'ongr'ess.'——The business before this body
has already assumed quite an interesting
character, much more so than is usual at so
early a stage of the session. By referring to
our congressional record it will be seen that
many important resolutions on various subjects
have been laid in for consideration, some of
which have undergone a slight discussion. A-
mong the uiost important and interesting at
the present time are the resolutions offered by
Mr.Bailey, of Mass. for the purpose of setting
at rest the long agitatedfiquestion of implied
powers, and for leaving the whole subject of
internal improvements, education, Sac. entire-
ly under the control and. legislation of the
states, thus making a judicious compromise
between the believers and disbelievers in the
powers of Congress to legislate on these niat-
ters. That the proposition of Mr. Bailey will
be accepted by the requisite iiuiriber ofstates,
should it receive the sanction of Congress,we
consider no ways doubtful.
Among the other important propositions be-
fore congress, we have only room at present
to advert to those for abolishing imprisonment
for debt, establishing a uniform system of
bankruptcy, and providing for the election of
President in such a manner as to prevent its
being carried to the H. of Representatives.
W'e would observe here that our congress-
ional journal does by no means contain ano-
tice of all the measures that are bro’t before
the two houses—but only ofsucli as we think
would be most immediately interesting to our
readers. There are numerous private and lo-
cal subjects which it would be useless for us
to notice, but which occupy a great portion of
the session. VVe make this remark because
some are apt to think that Congress is doing
nothing when they see but a short report of
their proceedings in the papers.
The National Intelligenccr, upon ‘announ-
cing the appointment of some committees by
the Speaker, remarks as follows : '
Having occasion thus to revert to_tlie coin-
mittees of the House of Representatives, we
take the opportunity to express our satisfac-
tion wiih the libernlity which has distinguish-
ed the leading appointments on those coin-
mittees. We find in them no trace either of
party or geographical -bias, no propitiation of
friends, or proscriptioii of adversaries. The
Speaker seems to have aimed at as equal a
distribution as possible ofthe honours and re-
sponsibilities which devolve on the Chair-
men of the Committees. The ‘last Cliairnien
of all the principal committees (they being
new irieiiibers) are the same as at the last ses-
sion, except oiie—aiid that one (Mr. Crown-
iiisliield) is understood to have been transfer-’
red, with his own consent, from the Naval
Committee to the Committee of Foreign Re-
lations, on which he is now placed.
During the few days past, there have been
presented, among the petitions to Congress,
several from the surviving officers of the Rev-
olutionary war, asking for the promised re-
ward for their services in that,war,wliicli’they
allege, has been hitherto unjustly withheld
from thcm.——-Int. _
[Among these, was one from the surviving
officers in Connecticut, which wasprescnted
by Mr. '1‘omlinson;] '
Gen. Jackson.-Tlie Savannah Republican
says-—‘ We understand that Gen. Jackson
has declared himselfdecidcdly in favor of the
cause of Georgia, and openly advocates the
stand taken by her patriotic Governor.”
The General never was much of afriend
to the Indians! We hope that in this instance
no sinister motive has operated to produce
the course here attributed to him.
John Randolph. has been appointed, by the
Legislature of Virginia, to be a Senator of
the U. States, vice James Barbour, now See-

Dissolulion.——A meeting of ' the Stockhol-
ders of the “ Water Works Company,” was
held last evening at the TontiueCofi'eelIouse,
at which Aug. H. Lawrence, Esq. presided,
and Mr. Hambliii acted as Secretary, when
it was resolved that it is expedient to dissolve
the institution and divide the funds; and a
committee of five together with the chairman
and secretary, was appointed to confer with
the Directors as to the best tim_e and iuaiiner
for accomplishing this object, and report at a
future meeting, which the committee was em-
powered to call.-—.Merc. fldv. Dec. 14.

Great Fire.—Between 4 and 5 o’clock on
Thursday morning, a fire broke out in a build-
ing in the rear.of one ofthe lots on Thompson
street, between‘ Broom and Spring streets, and
destroyed nearly all the houses in the square,
viz. those fronting on Thompson, Spring, and
Sullivan streets, making about 50 in number.
Those destroyed on Thompson street were
mostly frame buildings, and numbered from
54 to 78 inclusive, making 13in the whole;
those on Spring street, were numbers l6‘2 to
I78 inclusive, making in the whole 9, princi-
pally 2 story frame buildings,with brick fronts;
those on Sullivan, were numbered from 67 to
91, making thirteen in all; besides a large
number of buildings in the centre ofthe block
situated on the rear of various lots, making 50
in all. The property destroyed is estimated»
at f'rom 70 to 80,000 dollars, a small portion
of which was insured.
The fire was caused bya cartman going in-
to his stable with a light, and from the com-
bustible materials, itspread with such rapidity
that some ofthe families had to escape from
the upper windows, with barely their night
clothing.--./\l'. Y. Obs." ,

Breach o_/'l’roim.se.—An interesting cause
of this naliire was tried before the court of
common pleas in the county of Orange, held
in Goshcu last week, between Dorothy Ack--
erson plaintiff, and Win. Ellis defendant.-
Tlie families on both sides are said to be re-
spectable. The young man had courted the
plaintiff a long time, and at length, under
promise of marriage, seduced her. No at-
tempt (says the Patriot) was iiiade to injure
ilie reputation of the young lady—the only
defence set up by the defendant’s cqunsel was
that he was under age at the time he made
the promise; but the court decided against
the’ admissibility of the evidence by which
this was attempted to be proved—the counsel
took exception to the decision, and attempted
no further defence. 'l‘liejury returned a ver-
dict of two thousand dollars for the plaintiff,
being the whole amount laid in the.declara-
tion.—-./flb. flrgus. _ -
Capt. Sawyer, who left Tanipico on the 1st
ofNoveinber, reports that, in consequence of
heavy rains_ and freshets, the banks of the
river had been. overflown, and caused great
sickness -and distress in the back country as
well as the city. The people had nearly all
fled from Tat-npico. In the interior, the wa-
ter had flowed to the tops of the trees, and
destroyed the vegetation, and the scarlet fever
pre vailed to an alarming extent—news of
great numbers ofdeaths in the neigliborhood,
was daily received. ~
The Journal des Debats has an article stat-
ing that the first act ofthe new Spanish Min-
istry had been to require the recall of the
French troops. “ It has a right to do so,”
continues thé Journal, “ according to the
treaties; but then who shall pay us for what
is owing to us ? Shall we retain some fort-
ress by way of security ? Will Europe, and
especially England, have nothing to say to
their arrangements? VVhat will become of
Spain after our troops are recalled?”
On this the Courier reniarks—“ We shall
not now argue what may or what may not be
the condition of Spain, if left wholly to her-
self; but with regard to the continued occu-
pation of that country, by France, we have
only to advert to two circumstances, the one,
.l1r.Canning’s public declaration in the House
of Commons, of his entire confidence in the
intentions ofthe French Government to evac-
uate Spain as soon as they possibly can ; the
. otlier,tliat France herself, feeling as she must
do, the present occupation of Spain to be _a
heavy burthen upon her finances, must_ be
anxious to withdraw her troops.” ’ ‘
