Inr Senate Jan. 23. The Vice Pbesident laid before the Senate a communication from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, in obedience to a resolution of the 30th ultimo, requiring copfes of oaths' directed to be administered to all persona applying to purchase public l inds; which was ordered to be printed, with 500 additional copies. Mr. Tiptox, from the Committee on Claims, reported a bill for the relief of Captain William Morrow. Ml. Kinq, of Alabama, presented a memorial

from the same body, for the passage of a law to confirm the titles of persons to lands purchased near the line between Alabama and Georgia, without knowing at the lime of purchase in which State their lands lay. Mr. KrxG said it also became his duty to present certain joint resolutions from the same Legislature, setting forth their 'disapprobation of the resolution of the Senate of last session, censuring the Chief Magistrate for certain official acts, and instructing their Senators to use their best efforts to hare the same expunged from the journal of the Senate. Mr. King moved that the resolutions be laid on the table and printed. Air. Clay asked that the resolutions might be read; which having been done, a long animated, and discursive debate ensued, in which Messrs. Clay, King of Ala, Moore, PrEsTox, Benton, Calhoun, and Clayton, took part. Mr. Smith then moved to lay the motion to print on tho table, upon which Mr. Hill demanded

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THK PROSIDENT. . While the President was at the Capitol ycrter day, in attendance on the funeral of tho Honorable Wcrren II, Davit, from South Carolina, Richard Lawrence, a painter, resident in this city, attempted to shoot him. Col. Lane, of Indiana, informed us, that he saw this individual enter tho hall of ths House during the delivery of the funeral sermon. Before its close, however, he had taken his stand oa the eastern portico, near one of tho columns. Tho I resident, with tho Secretary of the Treasury on us left arm, on retiring from the Rotunda to reach his carriage at the steps of the portico, advanced towards tho upot where Lawrence ftood, who had his pistol concealed under his coat, and when heap-

Ihe percussion cap exploded with a noise so great that several witnesses suppoeed the pistol had fired. On the instant, the assassin dropped the p.stol from his right hand, and takiiio another ready cocked from his left, presented and snapped it at the President, who at the moment had railed his stick, and was rushing upon him. Mr. Wood

The Prcsi dent pressed after him until he saw he was secured. c attended the examining ccurt immediately after the event. The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Navy. Col.
