Which amendment was also receded from Mr. Barbour, who had supported it, not thinking it of sufficient importance to produce a collision between the two hnivcs. March 31.

March 26,--Mr. Hamilton, from the military committee, to whom was recommitted the bill from the senate to repeal the "act for the relief of John B. Ilogan," reported an amendment thereto. Mr. Hogan, it appears, was a paymaster in the Seminole war, who paid out about 20,000 to a corps of gunmen, who he considered as volunteers, but who, by the construction of the law by the war department, were declared not to be such. The amendment now reported to the bill, goes to allow him credit lor this coynt. It was objected to as sanctioning a dairjercus principle,and setting a precedent vrhich, if followed up,

would cover cf disbursements made buna fide hut ivilhout cw.J' The amendment was

j correctly informed, the manufactures neij ther wished nor needed it, that portion of i the capital and industry of the country em- ; ploved in it, being more pnductivc than

j almost any other. Mr. P. P. Harbour then

rose, under the impression that the motion now submitted afforded a fair opportunity for a free discussion of the general principles of the bill, upon which, after so long a

i time employed in the discussion of the de

tails of the bill, he should be excused for taking this opportunity to express his views. And then proceeded to a general discussion of the principles of the bill, and spoke against them for three hours. When he had concluded, the committee rose and the house adjourned. March 27. The house, in a committee of the w hole, was employed all this day in considering the amendment of the senate to the general appropriation bill. March 29. Many petitions were presented this day. The house went into committee of the whole on the amendments of the senate, to the appropriation bill "for the support of government for the year 1024.' After a lively debate, the question was taken on nun concurring with the senate in their amendment, and decided in the negative ayes 42, noes 90. So the house concurred in the senate's amendment, and refused to restore this clause to this bill.

jfiarch 30. The preparatory business presented this day, will sufliciently appear in the future proceedings. At half past 1 1 o'clock, the house being in committee of the whole on the Tariff bill, Mr. Clay took the floor, in reply to Mr. Barbour, and in support of the general principles of the bill. When it was past 3 o'clock, and before he had concluded, he gave way to a motion for the committee to rise, and the committee rose. The following messages were received from the President of the United States: 1. Enclosing a report of the secretary of war, and the commissioner of the general land oflice, in relation to the salt springs, lead and copper mines. 2. Enclosing a report of the secretary of state, respecting advance of compensation made to commissioners who had been appointed for the examination of titles and claims to land in Florida. 3. Enclosing certain papers, enumerated in a report frcn the secretary of war, relating to the compact between the U. S. and the state

of Georgia, entered into m 1C02

The judges, Bailey, Holroyed & Best, were decidedly of opinion that the action was not maintainable, as the plantiff ceased to have any rifijht or title to the slaves the moment they threw themseles upon the protection of the British Flag.

Children affected with the itch, who were using sulphur, externally and internally, were exempt. In 1822, measles occurred again, preceded for many days by a convulsive couh. For this symptom, I prescribed the Hour of sulphur and white eugar, half a teaspoonful. Many trials were made on children of different families and ages and nil who took it in time, escaped the disease. M. Tolrtual.
