CONGRESSIONAL. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1842. The members of Congress are now nearly II at tlieir posts: there has been good deal of leisure during these six days for observing the positions of parties and individuals, comparing notes, nd ascertaining the state of public opinion in different sections of the country: and, although it may appear premature to predict results so early as at the close of only the first wek of the session, yet enough has actually been developed to careful observers to

show preity cleatly what are likely to be the fruits of the nest twelve woeks. In the first place, no Exchequer Bill will be passed. This apj?.rs to me so certain, that I have no hesitation in assuring those of your readers who miy have any appreheusions on the subject, and in warning others who may indulge themselves in the expectation of the passage of either the Executive measure or something akin to it, that there is no real ground for supposing that any thing will be done favorable to fie establishment of such a system. The Bankrupt Act vill be repealed. Of this se-Your readers need not entertain the slightest 8 doubt. The movement has been made already in each house, frov.t quarters as opposite as Zenith ttnd Nadir as Light and Darkness.

The difficulties among the Loco Focos. to

which I alluded in a former letter, are increasing every day. Mr. Benton would rather vote for Henry Clay as President than for John C. Calhoun

bo he savs openlv. This is an indication of the

fervor with which the party for Van Buren re sists any pretentions of Mr. Calhoun.

. Per contra, the Calhoun party in Congress is

going full-tilt against the pretensions of Mr. an

Buren to run a second time. We have an illustration of this work in the election now going on, in the Legislature of North Carolina, for Senator to succeed the present able and re

spected Whig. Mr. Graham. The Van Buren candidate lis Mr. Bedford Brown. He is opposed by Mr. Saunders, a member of the present House of Representatives, and well known as a devoted partizan of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Saunders would prefer that Mr.Graham should be re-elected, rather than that the choice should fall on Bedford Brown and so, too, would the whole of the Calhoun partv in Congress. J. M. S.

the Committee of Wavs and Means, a bill of

the following title: "A bill making appropria

lions for the Civil and Diplomatic expenses of

the Government for the half calender year ending the 30th day of June, 1843."

The bill having been read twice by its title Mr. Fillmore moved that it be committed to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union.

and

CONGRESS. Ia both Houses, last Teusday, strong indications were given that the Bankrupt Law will be repealed. The proceedings on the subject were marked by the most indecent haste, which

their own sober second thoughts will condemn.

A test vote in the House shows 127 to 63 for

repeal. A clause was introduced that this Act

snau not enect any case or proceeding commenced before the 5ih dav of December 1842

or pains or penalties, or forcfeitures incurred

under it. Mr. Botts has mode some movement in rela

tion to the Secretary of War. The first effort

.was to bring up the secretary upon a question

oi privilege, ana laiiins in that, an eftort was

made to suspend the Rules to receive the ques

tion as an independent matter.

The ground of this arraignment is the calum

ny of Mr. Spencer, that certain membersof Con

gress proposed terms to the President after the

Veto of the first Bank Bill, to the effect that if

the Cabinet might remain unmolested, a second bank bill would not be presented. This is pronounced a calumny, and Mr. Botts proposes an investigation, with a Select Committee to inquire into the facts. The Resolution not being considered as a question of privilege, it was necessary to have a vote of two-thirds, which eould not be procured. Cin. Gazette.

Bankrupt Law. The following extract from the correspondence ofthe Journal of Commerce, will be read with startling interest by many: "The fate of the bankrupt act is sealed. It is to be repealed, condemned, repudiated, in a violent and vindictive manner. The instructions to the Vermont Senators have sejtled the question. No regular course of legislation is to be tolerated in regard to this ill fated law. It is not to be regularly annulled, but it is to be lynched. It is to bo tried by lynch law and

holding the prior judgment or execution lien shall nesleet or refuse to purchase, or take at

on motion of Mr. Parker, was laid on the table, and one thousand copies ordered to be printed. BILLS or THE ROUSE. A bill relative to an estate without known heirs, and 'an act for the relief of Catharine Mellville, we re read a first time, and passed to a second reading. On motion of Sir. Kelso, the Senate re-considered the vote by which it concurred with the judiciary committee in deciding the election of county Prosecutors by the people to'be inexpedient. A debate then sprung up as to the expediency of electing Prosecutors. He

did not believe in removing them so far from the people; and went into an argument proving that it would be a saving of money to the people, and would also be far more satisfactory to them. They would a'so be valuable as counsel to the County Board in shortening the session of Grand Juries and in the full knowledge they would have or the cases they were obliged to prosecute. This system is now in operation in Ohio, and is there deservedly popular. Mr. Kelso hoped that the report of the com

mittee would not be concurred in. He wished to see Prosecutors elected tn each countv.

who shall have imposed upon them the additional duty of attending to the settlements

of decedents estates in Probate courts, and of acting as administrator of those estates for which no other person can be attained. Our Probate courts, generally, need legal advice much. " Mr. Ewing concurred with Mr. Kel m in his
