HOUSC OF REPRESENTATIVES. 7tcsdayf December 29. On the subject of internal improvements, sundry resolutions containing instructions to the committee have been adopted in the House ofRepresenlatives, and so fir as developments have yet been made there would seem to be but little opposition to a general system of internal improvements. The committee of the House of Representatives have been in session on the subject, and wo learn that their proceedings, so far, have been very harmonious and unanimous. We are informed that it has been determined to constitute a Board of Internal Improvements, consisting of nine members, to be appointed by the Governor, subject to the approval or rejection of the Senate, and to be removed by joint resolution of both Houses. We have not understood what works the committee purpose to recommend to state patronage, but presume a good many will be embraced, as the sum proposed to be borrowed will be something liko twelve millions nf dollars. A bill on this subject will probably be reported in the House of Representatives on Monday or Tuesday next. Postscript. Sinco the above was written we are informed that there was no disagreement of opinion as to the propriety of continuing the Wabash and Erie Canal, and authorizing a speedy commencement of tho White river and While water canals. Mr. Vawter, chairman of the committee on roads, yesterday, reported a bill, providing for a loan, for twenty years, at 5 per cent, per annum, in anticipation of the three per cent, found, of 500,000 dollar?, to be divided equally between the several counties, which will givo about 0000 dollars to each county. The report accompanying tho bill we shall give at length hereafter. The bill was twice read, when Mr. Vawter moved that it be committed to a committee of the whole House and made the special order of tho day for Monday next. Mr. Davis moved to lay it on the table. After a desultory debate of some length, in which Messrs. Vawter, Davis, Evans, Smith of Ripley, Ray, and Johnston participated, Mr. Davis withdrew his moHon to lay on the table. Mr. Vawter then modified his motion so as to make it the order of the day for next Monday week. Mr. Ray moved to refer the bill to the committee on canals and internal improvements, which motion was supported by Mr. Eggleston, Mr. Morris. Mr. Ray, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Johnston, and opposed by Mr. Evans, Mr. V awter, and Mr. Smith of Ripley, and was decided in the negative. Those gentlemen who supported the reference of the bill to the committee on canals and internal improvements, urrrcd it nn tho rrmnn.i .i.m the committee tniaht SO Ctinnorl if VI til Iwi Intnmil I improvement bill as to provide for thn imnrmrpmont of roads in those parts of the state -which cannot be ncommochted by the canals and rail roads. The bill was finally committed to a committee of the whole House and made tha order of the dav for tomorrow. The whole of vestenkv aft prnnnn in ihn XX was occupied in the consideration of the caso of i Vi V Papers in the case having been read, Mr. ISave was permitted to make his defence, when William Quarles, Esq., in his behalf, addressed the House between two and three hours; and, not being able to complete his argument, the Housp adjourned The case will probably be resumed and finished this morning. On Tuesday afternoon the House was engaged m the consideration of a joint resolution, proposing to suspend tue operation of the advalorem law of last winter. Wednesday the subject of a change in the present I robatc system, was agitated in the House, by calling from the table a resolution offered by Mr. Lee of Bartholomew, some days since; which proposes to transfer the s business of that Court tothc CircuitCourts to provide for three terms in each year, and to set apart in each term, a certain number of days for the transaction of Probate business, and iucreasing the salaries of the President Judge. A proposition was made by Mr. ave to amend, varying the resolution m some degree, the exact purport of whiclny e did'not understand. Mr.Chamberlain moved to amend the resolution, so as to contemplate an increase of the number of terms to three or four, as the committee on judiciary might deem expedient, and a reduction ot the territorial extent of the several Circuits, and the setting apart of one or more of the terms for the consideration of Probate and Chancery business. This proposit.on Mr, Chamberlain supported at length showing the expediency of such a systemcalculated, as he thougt, to answer all the ends of justice and promote an expeditious and healthful despatch of the important business coming within the in vot?r Pr1bat.e CUnS- He unwiTnng"o to vote for the resolution, withontthe adoption of this amendment proposed. With it he hoped the matter would go to the committee, and there receive such consecration as its importance imperatively demanded. Mr. Brown remarked, that the more proper course to be pursued would ho t i i with the pending amcndeniLts upon the table, or in rofnr llm ..-I 1.-. l' ....... mms tuujeci to judiciary committee. , - , .... vwi, ,u uurrrooate system was already presented to that committee, in the broadest manner, not only by a reference of so much ot the Governor s message as relates thereto, but alto by a resolution, offered by himself and adopted b the House, inquiring into the propriety of transfenng all the business and powers now enjoyed and exercised by the Probute Court, to Chancellors, or I robatc Circuit Court. The common law and Chancervjunsd.ction of the Circuit Courts miht be eepareted.and the lattertransferred, with the IVobate business, to a Probate Circuit Judge, lie preferred the latter course. There appeared to prevail but one opinion with regard to the necessity of a chan-e, and he preferred a distinct and seperate Court to the proposed transfer to the President Judges of our Circuit Courts. With the increasing property of our State, our Probate Courts are necessarily encased in a greater amount of business and of hiher rnnnoTf0- l8 should, therefore3, be S?ih?jL .lindlVldua!8' in Cvcr' rcsPect qualified to A t hoi aCrcd V"usts devolving upon them. o,li i iP PCr lime and on sonie fut" occasion, it OUC,tione,m0rePrIier l diSCUSS thC nCritS f this 2ubic ,?nJr P -?ent- Thc committee have the the field i, nn8lderal1?; nnJ uPn their rcPort the held would be opened for the freest debate Ho Mr. awer concurred with Mr. UroVn Ho said THom PanP?red '?

individuals, who are not fully informed as to the uuiu uiMtiv:r, auu in mai event sucii a course migni prove prejudicial to the contemplated system of internal improvements. They would not object, if an entire statement could be made, which would require great time and labor of the Executive, and then the information required could only be given in part, as a portion of the surveys, &c. made during1 the past summer and fall, were made under the superintendence of the Commissioners of the Wabash and Erie canal. Mr. Clark observed, that ho only wished the information that if he embarked the state in the proposed system of improvements, he would like to know the situation of her means, so as to calculate accordingly, lie was uninformed on that subject, and did not imagine that there would be any thing so terrible in the information as the gentleman would intimate. Mr. V awter avowed his intention to support the resolution. He thought the information would produce a contrary effect to that snpposed. That the course taken by former legislatures with regard to the State Dank, making surveys, Sec. would stand as lasting monuments of their political discernment. It would not produce any alarm, but he was confident it would disclose such flattering prospects, that an additional strength would be given to the friends of Internal Improvement Mr. Evans withdrew his uiutiuuu w me aaopiion or me resolution. Mr. Smith of It. proposed to amend the resolution, so as to make the information given, to be on the subject generally expenses, loans and probable advantages. The resolution, however, was for the time laid on the table. From the Journal of Commerce. THE INDEMNITY TREATY.

Thc letters sajT that nothing had been determined, and whether he would leave, remained undecided. Postscript. We have just come into possession of a document which we have no doubt gives us the exact history of thc transactions at Paris. The inlerconrs3 between Mr. Barton and the French Government had been entirely courteous and friendly. The Ministry replied to Mr. B's inquiry, that, as Mr. Livingston's letter was written before the passage of the bill in tho Chambers, they were desirous of something subsequent, and and that, as the President of tluAjnited States had said he could say no more , but should refer the matter to Congresss they waited to seo what would transpire on the meeting of Congress, and in the wiciu UU1U113U lorwarueu ucspatches to the French Charge at Washington.

Moore, the Editors of the New lork Journal of Commerce have London papers to the evening of Nov. 11th, four and a half days later than before received. 7ie-y announce t!t Mr. Barton, U.

The fact of Mr. Barton's having demanded his passports, was not regarded in Paris as a decided indication of an approaching rupture, and will not be so regarded terP t Il,will however, prepare the way lor the I resident s special Message, which we trust will be much less belligerent than is generally anticipated. Had Mr. Barton remained at Paris, we are confident that the Message at the opening of Congress would have brought the money; and it may do so still. Nothing is wanting but a moderate spirit ot concession on both sides, and all will be well It is incredible that in this age of the world, two enlightened nations Willp-O tf IV.ir for n n C .lucuc-ur vi enqueue on one side, and money on , . -UK it it; ny This distingmsueu omcerot the French Marine, who commanded at the battle of Navarino, died at Paris, November .th.

In consequence of fresh instructions received from Y a.lungton, Mr. Barton, the Charge d 'Affairs of he Umted States, at G o'clock yesterday aaernoon transmitted to the Duke do Broglie a formal application for h,s passports.

In spite of the serious ehape which this question has new assumed, the 1' rench authorities seem still to treat it with their accustomed levity.

Tho French Government flatter themselves that the people of the United States will suffer nearly as much as France under this system of quasi-hos-tility, and that moreover, they will be much less patient under their want of French wines and French silks, and of a market for their cotton and tobacco, than the people of France will be under corresponding disadvantages. Bourse, Nov. 7, Quarter to 4 P. M. The Three per Cents, look downwards at Torlion's this morning, and at the opening of the Bourse they were at SIf. 15c, sellers.

The Three per Cents, got up to 81f 35. Paris, Nov. 7. Mr. Barton, who has hitherto performed the functions of Charge d'Affairs of the United States, at Paris, decidedly leaves this city on Monday. It is said to be inconsequence of the refusal of M. de Broglie to give a satisfactory answer to three proposil3 which he was commissioned to make to him on the part of tha government. Messager. The Constitution does not consider the step taken by Mr. Barton as indicative of an approaching rupiure. n observes that the consul lor the United States is to remain at Paris to keep up, as heretofore, the Commercial relations with France. It seems, in fact, that little or no uneasiness prevails in any part of Franco about a risk of a war with the United States, and this nroba hlv is hpr.atisn thpi-o i j exists a strong impression that no means will be left untried to avoid a rupture, and that some mode of adjustment will be devised which may prove equally satisfictory to both sides. The fact of Mr. Barton, the U. S. Chargo d'Affairs at Paris, having demanded his passports of the French government is mentioned in all tho papers save thc ministerial organ. The Temps states that Mr. Barton made his application, in q peremptory style, on Friday, alleging the non-execution of treaties on the part of France. The passports were delivered on Saturday, and the Charge d'Affairs was to quit Paris on Monday. Tho Temps, neverthless, expresses its confidence that matters will end in an amicable adjustment. From thc London Mercury of Nov. 11. We have quoted from Galignani an account of tho naval preparations at Toulon, which aro there ascribed wholly to the necessity for being prepared for the utmost resistance at Algiers; but some other of the Paris papers connect these preparations with the state of the American question, and indicate that the French floct is preparing to meet the Americans. The Messager even hints that a project is anterlaincdof occupying the Belearic Islands, in order to deprive the squadrons of the United States of all refuge in tho Mediterranean. This is one of the moonshine projects ascribed to the French Ministry by its opponents, in the hope of excitin" the jealousy and ill will of England. Tho Belearic Islands belong to Spain, and France would no more think of occupying them than of occupying Cadiz. Extract of a letter of Nev. 4t from Toulon. Our maritime arsenal is in a high bustle. Several ships are being repaired with activity, and the Galthe, which has already received a part of her guns, will shortly put to sea. No more is said of dismantling the Nestor and the Triton, which remain in the larbour. The 5th &Gh tcompanies of thc 1st regiment of Engineers are still in town. We have just received a half battery of artillery, and two companies of African Chasseure are expected. All this leads one to suppose that the Government is aiming to have in readiness vessels and troops to rc-r-rCe,Jn case need the expeditionary army of Africa, for we must not dissemble the fact, that although the Marshall Chausel has spies among the tribes of Algiers, yet it is impossible for him to have any certain data relative to the number of the enemy he is called upon to combat; nor are we sure f .myoF Mascara has not divided his partisans into dillerent corps, in order to compel us to disseminate our forces.

FROM TEXAS A late arrival at New Orleans brings accounts from San Antonio (the seat of wat) tothe27lh November. On that day, it appears, a detachment of Gen. Cos' cavalry, out on a foraging excurson,were attacked on the 27th ult. by a party of Texians, and by them defeated, with tho loss of thirty-fivo horses, and suffering in killed and wounded, to the number of fifty men. Thc loss of the Texians three men slightly wounded. Tho adverse parties are said to have been about equal in numbers. General Austin had been elected Commissioner, together with Messrs. Archer and Wharton, to tho United States, with plenary power to negotiate loans, &lc. Edward Burlisson has

been elected by the army to fill the place vacated by Gen. Austin, and is therefore at the head of the Volunteer Army of Texas. Gen. Houston has been annointed bv tho General Council nf tho Prnv. isional Government of Texas, to the command of the Kegular Army to be raised. Among lhe many interesting incidents that occurred during the great fire,says the New York Mercantile Advertiser the following should be recorded : A wealthy merchant who occupied a store in Front street, seeing the danger to which his properly was exposed, made nuny fruitless attempts to biro cartmen to remove his goods but they were all engaged. At last he met a cart, and said to tho owner 4I will give you Jl tc hundred dollars for your horso and curt"-" Sir, it is yours." With this means the merchant removed the principnl part of his goods, amounting to upwards of gbUjUUU, which half an hour later, would have been consumed by the flames. Improved Padlock. A padlock of altogether novel construction was shown to us the other day at the Greenfield Bank. The body of the lock is Etraight,and consists of an iron or eteel cylindrical box, six or eiffht inches in length. On thio thorn in r W A 1 V J V a double row of revolving brass bands, ten in all. iacn oanu or tne cuter row lias the letters of the alphabet and astar, and on the inside a corresponding number of grooves of the outer row. Two plates are aiuxeu to me oar, to one ot winch the staple or tongue cf the lock is fastened: the other fortha reception of the tongue when locked, and is screwed off when the lock is to be set to any new word. Well, now for t lie DhiloKnnhv the. matteWhen you wish to lock this padlock, vou screw off Liu piate, anu uraw on ino outer row of bands.

When the nlfttM is screwed on and the bands turned out of their range, the lock is fast, and canuot be opened unless the letters by which it is set are again brought into a range at a particular point, when, if pulled upon, it unlocks. Thus no one run nnon ;t unload he knows the name of thc letters by which it was ins uue, uu may cnance to pull upon the ngntones, but the chance is rather a desperate one having some ten or twelve millions nf piiin.a posed to it, as computed.

The judges appointed to manage tho elections at one of the precincts came under the censure of the voters and were accordingly taken out and Lynched!!! Thc fault complained of was this: The judges were of the opinion that no one should be allowod a vote unless ho had lived in the state twelve months, according to the terms of the constitution. Tho settlers wero of the opinion that all should be allowed to vole without regard to constitutional qualifications, and as the judges would not consent to it, they were taken out and lynched.

One of thc most savage and heartless acts of the House of Lords, was, to use tho exulting and elegant language of tho Times, "the kicking out" of the music and dancing bill where by his Majesty's liege subjects are debarred from these wholesome and innocent recreations in any public house, under a penalty of $100, unless licensed by the Quarter Sessions. The nobility and gentry may turn night into day, and indulge ad libitum at almack's and elsewhere in tho too often indelicate mazes of the waltz and mazourka; but the poor people shall not while away tho evening at an inn in the less ob jectionable exercise of the merry hornepipe, the country dance, or reel. . Because forsooth, in tha impudent denunciation of the autocrat of tho Times, it may bring together into a scene of promiscuous debauchery tho 20,000 thieves and 50,000 prostiutes, which London contains.-Tho Savoyard may grind his hand organ and hurdy gurdy in tho street, and the ballad-singer squaw 1 out his mono tonous ditty, but there the taste for music among tho multitude must cease. For their poverty shuts them out from the opera and the quadrille. How much better would it bo for tho morals of Old" England if they could kick or sing off some of the bile of their climate and temperament by uniting joyously as the gay and happy French do, in the merry cotillion, under tho broad spreading elms upon tho village green, or in the beautiful public girdens which adorn all their cities. Supposo there were fewer of those sinks of pollution thegin shops of London, and more such places as tho Boulevards, and Champs Elysees and Tivoli at Paris more buffoons, and harlequins and dancing masters, and fewer drunkards and gluttons, would it injure the morals or weaken the national character of England ? Would there not, in fact, be fewer murders and suicides more domestic happiness and peace? Wo think so. Ev.Star. Infamous Afair.Wo copy the following murder committed on an unarmed prisoner in jail, from tho Advocate of Liberty, Mississippi: "On Tuesday hist, a man by tho name of Krenshaw, who had broken out of jiil in Natchez and who was strongly suspected of one being one of that horrid clan, denominated Murrelitcs. was arrested at Fort Af'ams, and there by a justice of tho peace, was ordered to be committed to the jail in Woodville; before the commitment had been executed, Krcnshaw, it seems, was wrested from the officer into whose custody he had been committed, and by a number of citizens conveyed to the suburbs of the village, where tho prisoner would soon havo fallen a victim to our modern modo of punishing Murelimo.

Soma twenty years since, the London Phcnix Company was in tho habit of insuring largely, against fire, upon property in this city. Its rates were low; its capital very largo; and its liberality in adjusting losses great. Some of our citizens, und particularly tho then directors of the Globe, availed themselves of this feeling against foreign capital, to obtain tha passage of the Inv to direct this company from tho Globe. Thc law was effective the agent of tho company left tho country, and tho losses which that company could easily have born, are now to be sustained by tho windows and orphans ofourown city. JV.
