The present Bank has only to issue their new
notes and take in the old emission as fast as they
appear. - The amount ofthe old notes iricircula-

which will never come in. The old Bank of

From the National Inletligencer.
Among the billsindustriously pressed through
the House ofReprcsentativeson Saturday night,
(or Sunday morning.) by nearly or qnite‘a party
vote, was the bill. which along time ago passed
the Senate. for preventing the circulation of
small bills within the District of Columbia.
The first ofApri| last was the day on which the
Senate intended it to take effect; and so the bill
was made to read “ from and after the first of
April next,” Etc. &.c. The Previous Question.

off all amendments; so that a bill has been
passed. which in effect sanctions. until the first
of April next. the issue and circulation of these
small hills. which. before-that ‘time. it is hoped.
in the natural course oftlrings, will have ceased
to circulate at all. In this -case. as often hap-
pens, pa'ty zeal has overreached itself.
VVe shouldjntlge by this. that‘-the Adtninistra-
tion party made a fool ofitseifonce .at least.

agreed to that amendment of the House of Re-

CONGRESS.
This is the last day ofthe session; and on this
day, under the rules. no bill can pass either
House of Congress, nor can any bill or joint
resolution that has passed both Houses be on this
day presented to the President of the United
States for his signature.
The business of the session therefore is closed.
except as to the decision of the President upon
hills which are yet before him. and _such other
business, ifany. (which does not seem probable.)
as the two Houses may agree to suspend the
above mentioned rules for the purpose oftr'ausact-
tug. _
The sittings of both Houses of Congress on
Saturday, if not of unprecedented duration and
fatigue, were very arduous and trying. The
Senate sat until four o’clock yesterday morning.
and the House of Representatives until eight
o'clock yesterday. the last three hours ofthe sit-
ting having been occupied in endeavors to com-
pel the attendance of a quorum to go on with
business.
As. however, it will take the reader. even if
acquainted with the forms ofproceeding in Cott-
gress. some time to find out what business was
actually done in Friday's and Saturday's sit-
tings reported today. we shall state below some
few ofthe results in familiar phrase. This is the
more necessarv. as some ofthe most interesting
ofthe measures of secondary importance are not
mentioned in the proceedings at all. having been
adopted in the form of amendments to bills to
whose general purpose they had no proper rela-
tion.
_ U. S. Bank Notes.
The bill which passed the Senate a month
or two ago. to prohibit the reissue of notes ofthe
old Bank of the United States, was brought up
in the House of Representatives on Friday night.
by an adroit manoeuvre of M r. Thomas of Mary-
land. rode overtlte mass ofother important bills
before the House. finally passed by a majority
of eight votes. and is by thistime a law. so far
as the General Government has power to legalize
so glaring an outrage upon State Rights as it in-
volves.
The Suppleznenlary Anny Bill
Has become a law, with the same provisions.
tieithcr more nor less. as were published in this
paper when it was first introduced into the
Senate. An appropriation ($760 000) has also
been made to defray the expenditures during the
current year under the New Army Bill.
_ The Express Jllails. .
The Post Road Bill passed both Houses, after
striking out the section which directed the aboli-
tion ofthe Express Mails. These Malls will of
course continue for another year. unless the
Postmaster General hirns'elf shall order other-
wise.
T/ze Hizrbor Bill.
This important bill. making appropriations for
continuingthe construction ofsuch break-waters.
harbors, écc. as have been already commenced.
finally passed both Houses on Saturday night.
wi'h an amendment, restricting the expenditure
within the current year to one-halfofthe amour.t
ofthese appropriations is about a million and a
halfof dollars.
The New Harbor Bill (that is. the bill making
appropriations for new works of this description)
failed altogether. from the want of time to act
upon ll.
The Fortification Bill.
The annual bill of appropriations towards
completing fortifications passed both Houses.
Indian Appropriation Bill.
This great bill involving appropriations to the
amount of two or three millions of dollars,
finally passed both Houses.
The New York F ire Bill.
The Bill for the remission of duties on the im-
portation ofgoods destroyed by the great fire in
the city of New York. has passed both Houses.
and, with the preceding. may be considered a
law.
Oflicers of the Customs.
A provision has been passed for the benefit of
those Officers oftlte Customs whose compensa-
tion fell short by the operation ofthcact of Con-
gress of the year 1832.
The Maine Boundary.
A provision has been made for indemnifying
the State of Maine for expenses incurred in con-
sequence ofthe imprisonment of Messrs. Grcely
and Baker by the British authorities of New
Brunswick.
Provisions lo the following effect have also
been made in several enactnzenls. viz:
For the expense of outfits of the several new
Mints for the coinage of silver.
For the expenses incurred by the erection of
the Territory of Iowa.
For the expenses ofthe Orphans’ and Criminal
Court for the District of Columbia.
For the investment in state funds of the
amount of proceeds ofthe Smithsonian legacy.
until Congress shall think properto appropriate
it to the purpose for which it was devised.
For the expense of standard balances to be
furnished for the use of the several states by Mr.
Hassler.
For carrying on the public buildings at Wash-
ington for the current year.
For the expense of carrying into effect Mr.
Sergeant's resolution calling for information, to
be collected during the recess, concerning steam-
boat boiler explosions-.
To extend the time for issuing and locating
Virginia Military Land VVarrants. (Not the
scrip bill; that bill fellthrough.)
To defray the expense ($16,000) of erecting
a new Court House for the county of Alexandria.
in the District of Columbia.
To authorize the sale of the lands reserved
from sale on the borders of the Erie and Wabash
Canal.
For the settlement oftlte claims of the State
of New York for expenses incurred for militia
service during the late disturbances on the
northern frontier ofthat State-.
Franlcing Public Documents.--As Congress
has adjourned. it is well to mark some of their
“ movements, doings, and soon." Among them
isthe franking ofabout 500canvass bagsof Puli-
lic Documents, averaging 70 pounds each,
which have passed through the New York City

WEDNESDAY. JULY 18. 1838;.
WHO Knows mzstr '!—The New Haven Re-
gister of the 7th instant. contains a long-winded
document. signed by J. M. Niles and P. Smith.
purporting to give sundry reasons fortheir refusal
to obey the instructions of the last General As-
sembly. in regard tothelr vote upon the Sub-
Treasury Bill. Tlils wonderful production con-
tains. among other matters equally pertinent.
Mr. Cleavelaud‘s speech upon the Resolutions
of the Legislature. (copied from the Register.)
and inasmuch as this valiant champion of the
Loco-Focos considered the resolutions in "ques-
tion. as “sort of instructing and sort of not in.
structing"-—they feel themselves in duty bound
to adopt his construction. which would leave it
optional with them to obey or not. Very digni-
fied business, this. for Hon. Senators! Again,
they don't think that the constituents of the ma-
jority in the last Legislature approve ofthe doe-
trine of instrttction—argal, they are not bound
to obey. They are moreover very confident
that the General Assembly are entirely mistaken
in their opinion of the character of the Sub-
Treasury Bill. and forthwitlt shut up the mouths
of that “ panic-struck" body.‘ by the following
unanswerable argument: " We are, therefore.
happy to be able to inform you that these appre-
hended calamities to the people ofthe State and
country are entirely groundlcss".’ How happy
it would have been for "the state and country’v
if this communication had been made some
months earlier! These learned gentlemen. how-
ever. before they conclude. treat their constitu-
ents to a dissertation on constitutional law—“ the
head and frontiof” which is that "the doctrine
of instruction restson a popular principle”——tha,
“ pushing a popular principle to an extreme is a
violation of the Constitution"—-and that. argal.
again. inasmuch as they have sworn to support
the constitution. they cannot conscientiously and
constitutionally, “ by no manner of means,'v
obey their instructions. Tl:‘ere’s logic for you 1

Andithctt. again. their penetration ln having
made the following discovery‘: " Whilst the
doctrine of instruction is designed to give greater
effect tothe public will. its tendency, in practice,
will commonly be to impair it-, by taking away
the responsibility ofthe Senators.” There now.
Messrs. Legislators, therels a poser for yott !‘—
Guess you didn't think of that, did ya? You
must have forgotten that “I take the reeponsi_
bility," was the response of the great oracle of
Democracy!
But this is not quite all. Inasmuch as they
“ are sensible that the right of legislative instruc-
tion is generally respected by that portion of the
citizens of the State with whom" they “are po-
litically associated," they beg leave to say. tba,
much as they respect the doctrine of instruction.
and notwithstanding all the hulla-baton they
made about it as private citizens, yet having re-
cently possessed increascd facilities for improv-
ing their knowledge of constitutional law—they
have arrived at the conclusion. “ that in no case
is legislative instruction. whatever may be the
form or language. to be regarded as absolutely
mandatory.” " The instruction should be con-
sidered not as mandatory, but as adtiisbry; and
is entitled to the greatest respect from Senators,”

A C.utn.—Our thanks are not dtie to any
member of Congress from this State, for a single
public document, newspaper, or any other com-
muhicatiou forwarded to us during the recent
session of the National Legislature. \Ve have

popular opiniott of his own character.
IMPROVEMENTS IN STEAM APl’ARA'l'U8.—-
Congress. at its recent session, passed an actua-
thorizing the appointment of persons to test the
usefulness of inventions to improve and render
safe the boilers of steam engines against explos-
ions. The board constituted by this act, are to
give notice of the time and place of their meet-
ing to examine such inventions.and to direct the
preparations to be made and the experiments to
be tried. at such place as they shall deem most
suitable. and to make full report of their do-
ings to Congress.

It is not for him to say._ that being on the
ground, and listening to the arguments (,3, {mi},
sides, he had a better opportunity for forming un
opinion than they; for he has professed his lie-
liefin the rigltt of instruction, and the duty of
obedience on the part of the representative to
the will of his constituents. ever since he be-
came "dyed in the wool.".~ Besitlns, this isom-
ofthe questions upon which the people. are niut~h
more capable of forming an opinion. than hint-
self. They have not only had the benefit of all
the arguments which have been urged on either
side. but have been brought to feel. and keenly
too. the folly--not to give it a harder appella-
tion. ofthe adtninistrntioti in their various experi-
ments upon the cnrretzcv and business of the
country. ~
In short. no great question since the time ofthe
Alien and Sedition Lawsnhas ever been so fully

All these expressions of the popular will, he
has contetnptuottsly disregarded; and in de-
fiance of the entreuties and the warnings of his
constituents. has given his vote for the bill
of abominations; thus misrepresenting the
people and setting at naught the great cardi-
nal principle ofthe republican fuitli—oliedir;n¢e
the people. VVe are unable to imagine any
substantial reason to justify his vote—such rt
reason, we mean, as it would be becoming in
a wise Legislator to assign. We hope that his
constituents may hear from Mr-. W. on this sub-
wholly inexcusable and indefensible, we shall.
nevertheless, take great pleasure. in seeing him
released from the unpleasant dilemma in which
he now sfauds.

sequent intelligence from that section ofthe coun

are inclined to believe thatit is either wholly un-
founded. or grossly exaggerated.
