-V- anil others upon the mutu.il agreement of
.c committees. At tins lime a note was Mnded to Mr. Cambreleng by a messenger !-nm Mr. Forsvth. Mr. Cambrcleng obeyed .amnions, and left the Hall, to attend upon Mr forsyth. In a few moments he again apnca'rcJ in the House, md said he would not report the BUI agreed on by the conferees, notwithstanding, ten minutes before he had nrescd his happiness and determination to so. He save as an excuse that it was past wclve o'clock and that the House, constitutional!, was dissolved this too. in the very ,acc of the fact that he had before voted, after 1J o'clock for the Cumberl and Road Bill. J-ThiS however, was only an excuse whol v itr.irv to fact, which was that Forsyth had inibrmoJCambrt leng. that the President had Mid with an oath, that he would not sign ano'iithcr Bill, because the Senate had rejected ,h? nomination of Taney. Cambrcleng, thcrc-
(-ore. dare not present h, knowing as nc uiu hit'thc losofthe Bill would he charged upon the President if it received the sanction of the Hou-e. Consequently, by a consultation between Cambreleng, Polk, Forsyth and others anuns the managers it was agreed on not to present the nczc Bill, but to Charge the lo-sof the old one upon the Senate, which, ir.ark ve. if it had passed, the President said it should not receive his signature. The Ilnise of Representatives for the first hour th s morning, was a scene of war on a point of order. Benjamin Hardin of Kentucky, repeating as t hit mom Mr. Adams for his much talking, an assertion' made by him, yesterday, regarding the rules and coustoms of the House. "First," said the unchristian and sarcastic Benjamin, we have a prayer from the Chaplain, then the journal by the Clerk, and thirdly, as regularly as the day comes the venllemi'i from Massachusetts, meaning Mr. Ad ilus, who of lata speaks when he pleases and !iat he pleases, upon every thing before the House the French question the Abolition question, the Bink question, the Michigan question and every other question. Benjamin, however, was determined not to be Zoorcii to-day, and as soon as could be, was up and "kent up for an hour nearly, battling the Speaker, the Chairman of the committee on Foreign Relators and Mr. Adams again, for talking the part, not on'v of a Representative from Massachusetts, but even fw a large part of the country. The point of order being disposed of, Mr. Mason of Yirjnia, the Chairman of ihe committee on Foreiffn Relations, presented a resolution, that on and after Monday next, the House after one o'clock upon each day, proceed to the consideration of the Appropriation Bill, and continue so to do until they are rinii'y passed. The resolution brought a little army of deb itors into the field. "The spouters had s'.l "met." lien. Hardin again playing Dick the Apprentice, to the merriment of every body, save Ihe Speaker and a Pennsylvania Miller, whocalled km to order. On he went, ahead of everything v.J every body delivering one of the mostdiscurs vc speeches that ever before came from the lips efmati carryingus from the gamecocks, alligators, snipping turtles and horses of the Kentucky west, tAiii Austrian. French and English halls of legishtion reminding us of Chatham, Buonaparte, Kentucky bravery Tennessee grit, law, logic, and s miserable surveyor, all in the same breath. Hari.a is all kinds of a man in a speech, sublime, IsarneJ, bold, vulgar and ridiculous all together in tl.o course of a few minutes. The resolution was debated for an hour or two, when the gag w as put into the mouths of the members; discussion checked, and the previous question put by Vanderpool of Xew York, who leads the van in voting for the previous question, which van as brought up in the rear by lieutenant Cambrelenjofthe same state and the same party. The main question which was the adoption of the resolution, was then put and carried by a large majority. Mr. Cambrcleng of Xew York, presented a bill to the House, appropriating five hundred thousand dollars for the suppression of the Indian hostilites :a Florida. The Bill was read twice, when the House resolved itself into a committee of the w hole on the state of the Union, for the further considerate of the Bill. Mr. White ot Florida, proposed an amendment, that the President of the United States be authorize to raise a regiment of one thousand dragoons or moan'ed riflemen, for twelve months, for the purDose of aiding in the suppression of the hostilities. Several amendments were proposed, which with the important one presented by Mr. White, were all lost, while the five hundred thousand dollars Appropriation Bill was finally passed, and engrossed, when the House adjourned at 5 o'clock. The Senate have had an interesting discussion toay, regarding the acception of the State of Michigan. Messrs. Hendricks of Indiana, Calhoun,
fiayton, Davis, liujrsrles of Maine, and Niles of
t'onnecticut, taking part in the discussion. Object ons were presented and waimly supported to its reception, on the ground that it came from a politital body, who had formed themselves into a state snhonty, unauthorized by the United States, and therefore, unconstitutionally. Its reception on the ther hand was warmly advocated by the party in reticular on the ground that it came from the citiW::s of Michigan, and that all citizens of the UniW States should be heard. The Petition after
much discission and some amendments, was finally c:e;ved as from the people, not the state of Michigan. Mr. Southard then finished the able speech which jj began yesterday, when H. L. White obtained the "Y r, motioning that the House go into Fxecutive i is.ness, w hich motion was carried, and reminding tt.e House, also, that he intended to speak upon 'x-nton's resolution when it asrain came before the Senate.
tion of Bills from the several standing committees, when, Mr. Cambrcleng by many winks and blinks to the Speaker, and by dint of much exertion, obtained the floor, not in reply to Mr. Webster, as he gave us to understand he would the other day, when upon the floor of the House not in reply to Henry A. Wise, who made him appear on the last days of the last week like a whipt, dishonest, truant "boy. No, the Xew York Macduff was unarmed for such a contest. He was more for self vindication than for a reply to the convincing arguments of his antagonists. In his exordium he gave notice that he had but little to say, and in his peroration proved that he had said but little. For an hour he labored hard to prove that twelve and ten o'clock were the same, and that thee thirds, or two halves were not a whole. Of course such logic was unsatisfactory to all but. the party logicians, who sre skilled in
party syhogisms and partv dilemas. The more
tervention of our mother country on the question of Peace and War between America and France are wholly unfounded. ThisI have from the best official authority so far as it relates to the late arrived of the British Brig Pantaloon.

Thou Sleep'st! In the siumbers of death Thou art resting from sickness and pain, When the "monster's pestiferous breath Shall never afflict thee again. Thy spirit, we trust, is at rest With saints in the regions of bliss, Rejoicing with all that are blest And basking in oceans of peace! Thou wat sown in corruption, vte know, Incorruptible shaltthou arise; Thou wast sown here in wtakucs below, But in power shalt be raised to the skies. The dead who here die in the Lord Shall rest from their labors and toils. And their works shall the angels record, And death shall be robb'd of his spoils For the saviour shall wipe from their eyes The tears, which affliction had given, And their bodies immortal shall rise To dwell in the kingdom of Heaven.

Washington, Jan. 2?th, For the past two days, I believe, in the House "Representatives, I have besrun my letters with ,lr- Adams, the first upon the floor. This, the I ''ay. found him in the same place pleading for consent of the House for the presentation of a , ..iticm of inquiry. "Xo no no," from the N a.nl sonorous notes of the lute, to the loud ni.mg noise of distant thunder went forth from a., every member. "I ask that it my be read," '-J Mr. Adams, amidst the repeated noes, and an -.onal aye. A louder than the first negative ;e loliowed, and Mr. Adams was compelled to s seat, without a hearing so much lias he !0:-t the respect of nearly all of the members, bv his
-estrange, Adim-like tnaneeuvers. The t
"1S oeen that the nat on did him almost
. nige, now, "there is none so poor to do him erence." Well had it been for Mr. Adams, if farbld remembered the advice of Thomas Jefferson ca a Ex-Presidenl never to accept a subordinate uVt' cause his course is downward. But to b!lsineBS of the day. first hour was occupied with the presenta-
time
universal
12 o'clock. This he proved most conclusively
and showed that its delay was occasioned by gross management on the part of Van Buren Cambreleng and a few of the leaders of the party, who delayed the business of the House till long past 12 o'clock, when there was no quorum in the House, except on jxtrty questions, which brought the party together in the twinkling of an eye. Mr. Adams then for the second time followed in the chain of his speech. He maintained that Adams dodged the question last year, though he himself had said that he had never done so. But this is not true, said Hardin, for at times, like Scmpronius, his voire is st: II for war, and at times, like that of Lucius, his thoughts are turned on peace. At times like Sauls, he is breathing out threatenings and slaughter, and at times, like Janus his face is turned two ways. He alluded to Archer, who, on the last year replied to Adams, asking Adams which speech (he had made 4 speeches, first on one side, and then on the other) was Adams' last will and testament. Archer said that Hardin ought to go further and ask the gentleman from Mass., whether the speech was written in sanity or insanity and this he would have put as the Previous Question. Party names was his next theme, and said he, we arc called a French party, because we wont run pell mell into a French war. He illustrated it very happily, by referring to the Battle of the Blue Licks at Licking river, where 4 or 5 hundred without looking before them, rushed headlong into an Indian ambuscade, from which but 4 or 5 escaped. The Ohio gentleman, the worthy gentleman (rom O., (I know not whom, but presume it was Mr. Whittlesey) came next in bis long and discursive speech. I say teorthi genteman, said Mr. II., but tikis is not a very particular discrip ion of a gentle
man from Ohio, which on the whole w as a compliment well belonging to the people of your sturdy State. Mr. Evans, of Maine, followed Mr. II.. entering not into the probabilities of peace or war, but confining himself exclusively to the merits of the resolution, and in reply to Mr. Adams. The speech on the whole was the best that has been delivered during the session full of argument and research. Mr. Adams felt its effects, and was more disturbed than I ever saw him before. The peroration was one of the finest ever heard in Congrets, and the w hole speech, on all hands, admitted to be the best of the session. The Senate are still on the same field of battle
Benton's resolution. Grundy, of Tenn., has had
the floor the creater part of the day.
The rumors from England, which you see and
hear floating about the country regarding th in-
much bloodshed. Cambreleng of X". York, who; day by day, is decreasing in tlesh and character,' from severe exposure, interrupted Granger, and vindicated his Lord and Master the President, and his Associates the Party. Granger retorted, and "the galled jade w inced" now as before, notwithstanding his declaration to the contrary. The resolution was nevertheless modified, amended and altered, and again altered, amended and modified, till the original was almost lost. Mr. White, who by the way, is one of the ablest and most gentlemanly men in the House, consented to some of the modifications, and apart of the amendments for the sake of despatching with all possible haste the passage of the resolution. But talk, talk, talk, was the contagious fever of some one of Ihe economical members, until the hangerson were all cut short by a motion for the previous question, which was carried by a large majority. The main question, which was the adoption of the resolution, without amendments, was then carried by yeas and nays 17-1 being in the affirmative and but 14 in the negative soon after which the House adjourned, having spent the most of the day in words. Much excitement prevails in the city regarding the proposed mediation of England in our French affairs. The Captain of the Pantaloon is in the city waiting foi a reply to the communications from the British authorities now in the hands of the
President. A half doeen reports are rife, relative
to the opinions of the President. The general opin
ion is, that the mediations will be accepted by the
President, though the Secretary of the Navy de
clared yesterday, with no desire to keep the matter
secret, that there were some points in the controversey that the President would submit to no power on earth. Which of the two is true, time alone
will determine.
