beartdevoted to the welfare of our country, and the unccainr application of the faculties allotted to me, to her service, are all the pledges that I can give for the faithful performance of the arduous duties I am to undertake. To the guidance of the legislative councife; to the assistance of the executive and subordii ntedc artments : to the candid and liberal support of the people, so far .is it may he deserved hv honest industry and zeal, 1 shall look for whatever success may attend my public service: and knowingthat exceptthe Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh hut in vain, with fervent supplications Tor his favor, to this overruling Providence, I commit, with humble but fearless confidence, my own fate, and the future destinies of my country.

! feel that I must often throw myself on x I indulgence. I shall however, cndeavor6 i compensate for the want of skill by the i most rigid impartiality. In this office' I i shall regard only the senate and its di ; and I shall strive with feeling and pri I the station, I trust, not rcprehensir ; preserve the high character alrcnd ed by the senate for dignity ai J and to elevate it, if possible, still . the public esteem. The address was attentively listened to, and respectfully received.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thulsdav March 3. On motion of Mr. Marklei, it was Resolved, That the thanks of this House be presented to the Hon. Henry Clay, for the able, impartial, and dignified manner in which he has presided over its deliberations, and performed the arduous and im

portant duties of the chair, during the

Friday, March 4. At a special meeting j present session of Congress.

oi ine senate oi me umicu oiaies, caueu by written notice from the president of the (Totted States, held at the senate chamber of thetcapitol At about half past ten o'clock, the senate was called to order.

About 2 o'clock, Mr. Clay rose, and" ad

dressed the House in the following terms: Gentlemen: For the honorable testimony which you have been pleased this day to express to my official conduct, in this high

ly distinguished station, I pray you to ac-

said, that the vice president. (Mr. Calhoun) Near fourteen years, with but two comp;

beinir present.be proposed that Mr. Jack

son, of Tennessee, beine the oldest senator now present, should administer to him the oath of office. This being assented to The oath of office was accordincly administered to the lire president by the general; after which ceremony, he took the chair as president of the senate. A short time afterwards, he rose and addressed the senate as follows: Ornthmrn uf the snat? : I feel deepl the responsibility of the station, to which, as the presiding officer of this body. 1 have been called by the voice of my fellow c ilizens. To no other branch of the government has the constitution assigned powers more various or important than to the senate. W ithout intending to examine either their extent or character, I ma he permitted to remark, that w hile the other branches are confined, w itl. few exceptioi to what mav be considered their appropriate power, to this hi)d (.d is granted a part'n ipation in all the different powers of the government legi-I itive, executive, and jiidiciarv. In it legislative character.it partakes, u ith the Iioue of renresentafpj., w all of the pow er? eMed in congn-S", t xcepti g that of originating revenue bill?; in its executive, it holds an important control oer the power? of appointing to office and forming treaties; ami in i's judiciarv, it constitutes the court before w hic h ail the offn ers of the goer- ment mn be accountable for an honert discharge of duty; while, fn m its peculiar character, as the representative of the states, it is emphatically the guar dian of their rights and sovereignty. It mut be apparent that, on a wise and virtuous exercise ofthe.se important pow-j CIn the sui ce?s of our free aid happv sxstem of government, in no small dcgree.dej ' ds. We. arcordingly, find that the fi - liners of our constitution have bestowed tin- greatest attention on the organization of this body; and with such happv success, that it is admiral l adapted tothedischarge ot it various and dissimilar functions, as if any parti ular one onl, instead of all, had beers the sole object of its creation. So fortu .ate, indeed, is its structure, in even respect, that even time, instead of impairing, has had the opposite eflect. of remedying what might, at fu st, be considered the oi ly deft c t in the body. At the formation of the goven ment, the members of the senate were, probably, too few to attract the full confidence of the people, and thereby give to it that weight in the system w inch the constitution intended. Tins defect has, however, been, happily removed by an extraordinary grow th. In the short space of thir ty six years, eleven new states have bee n adde d to the union, and twice that number of senators to the body; and, before the termination of the next four

years, the original number of states and senators will be more than doubled. I fevl. gentlemen, that I owe an apology for touching on subjects which must be more familiar to this enlightened bod, and also, fur adding, w hat must be known to all. that a successful disc barge of the duties assigned by the constitution to the senate, must deper d, notw ithstat dir g tl c skill of its orgai ization. almost ublh ot the patriotism and w isch m of tl e mc nd'ers. These high attributes, I howe ver feci as sured, from past and present exporienc. will never be wanting in the members of this body. I:i fulfilling your important functions something w ill depend on the skill and impartiality of the presiding efficer. In regard to the forme r. I can promise nothing. I am without expi rie ce, which only can g.vc thu requisite bkiM in presidiug, and

ativelv short intervals, the arduous duties

of the chair have been assigned to me: In that long period of pence and of war, causes from without and vvithin. of great public excite ment, have occasionally divided our councils, disturbed our harmony, and thre atened our safety. Happily, however, past dangers, which appeared to encem-

j pass us, w ere dispelled. n I anxiously hope j those of the future will be, in a spirit of j mutual forbearance, moderation and wisj doni. The debates in this House, to which those causes gave rise, were sometimcsardent and animated. Hut, amidst all the

heats and agitations produc ed hv our temporary divisions, it has boon tnv happv fortune to experience, in an U'.exarupled degree, the kindness, the conlidcM.ee, and the affectionate attac I ment of the inemI hers of the House. Of the numerous decisions which 1 have been called upon to pronounce, from this plac e, on questions often suddenly stated, and of much dilii!cult, it has so happened, from the g'-ner-oijs support given me, that not ore of them , has ever been reversed by the House. I advert to this fact, not in a vain spirit of ' exultation, but as fun ishir g a powerful motive for undissemhled gratitude. In retir ing, perhaps forever, fn m a sit- ; nation with which ?o large a portion of mv life has been associated, I shall continually j revert, during the remainder of it. with unI ceasing respec t and gratitude to thhgroat ! theatre ofoiir public action, and with the fir m he lief that the public interests ai d the ! liberty of our beloved countn will br safely guarded hereafter, as thev have been

heretofore, by enlightened patriotism Gentlemen: In returning to vour respective families and constituents, I beg all of you, without exception, to carry with y ou my fervent prayers for the continuance of your lives, your health, and your happiness.

Ilfousc of Representatives had no business

before it, but the senate uau iuoui uma to act upon; and it was, therefore, necessary for the House to sit, in order to receive from time to time, the reports of business from the Senate. ft will be seen by our report, that the bill to authorize the laying out and opening of a road from the Western frontier of Missouri to the confines of New-Mexico, which had been laid on the table on the preceding day, was taken Op, and passed. This bill may be considered as one of great importance, inasmuch as it opens a new vent for the produce of our Western States, and a new field for the enterprise of

W'ashic:ton, March 1. Yesterday being the last day on w hich bills origriatiliLT in the Itoue of Representatives, could be se nt to the Senate, both Houses had a recess and met again at G o'clock in the evening, the House for the purpose of passing those bills which were of the most importance-, and the Senate to receive them. Both Houses will, to-day and to-morrow, act soleh on the hills w hich are at present' before them. In the course of yesterday, bet ween 30 and 40 hills passed the House, and were sent to the Senate. WrAsinvcTON, March 2. The bill for the Suppression of Piracy occupied the House of Re presentatives during the greater part ofyesterday; and after some discussion, the whole of the sections after the first, were striken out of the bill. Some new sections were subsequently introduced; but merely related tothearmint; of merchantmen, &:c. The bill is now divested of all energetic- features whic h it originally possessed, and is now merely a bill authorising the building often sloops

of war, and leaving the employment of

tiiem to the discretion of the Executive. The bill for the occupation of the Columbia or Oregon River, was laid on the table yesterday, in the Senate, in consequence of the lateness of the session, precluding the possibility of giving to it a due consideration. The bill authorizing the opening of a road from Missouri to New Mexico, shared a similar fate in the House of Representatives. Washington, March 3. In order to wir d up the business of the session, the two Houses of ( ongress sat until two o'clock this morning. During the greater part of the evening tebsion, the

The two Houses will only meet to-day to receive the report of the Committee on Enrolled Rills, and alsoany message whic h the President may have to communicate. Washington City, Marc h 5. The Inauguration. At an early hour

yesterday morning our city presented an unusual scene of bustle. There had been a irreat influx of stranger in the course of Thursday , in order to witness a scene, the entire grandeur of whic h consists in its simplicity, and the variety of associations to which it naturally gives birth. Whatever i of splendor belongs to it, is entirely intrinsic; there is no external show, no borrow ed ;ra' dour, none of tinseling, nor glittei. j nor -circumstance of artificial pomp; yet its ofb et throws into the deepe st shade : the most magnificent spectacles which are ; dependent oi ly on their gorgeousness for the interest w hich they c reate, j Agreeable to previous arrangements, 1 the President Elect, escorted by the volunteer companies of the city and Georgetown, and a vei v considerable body of citizens j on horseback and in carriaues, set forw ard : in procession to the Capitol. The cavali cade reached the Capitol a little before

12o c lock. The Senate had been convened at 10 o'clock; and at about half past ten. General Jackson, on motion of Mr. Mills, ad mi. istered to Mr. Calhoun the oath prescribed b the Constitution to be taken by the Vice President; after which; Mr. Calhoui made a brief and pertinent address which we shallendeavour togive hereafter. About 1 2 o'clock, the President of the

jUnited States and President Elec t having

arrived, they were received by the committee appointed fr that purpose on the

part of the Senate, and cot dm ted to the

House of Representatives, followed by the Senator-sand a number of Representatives and citizens. Before ten o'clock, the gallaries of the House of Representatives were filled to an overflow , and all the sofas and the seats which were not reserved for the Senators and Representatives, the public officers w ho had to offic iate on the oc casion, and diplomatic corps, were entirely occupied by ladies, and numbers were compelled, notwithstanding, to abandon the hopes of obtaining even standing plac es long before the hour arrived tor the commencement of the ceremony. By 12 o'cloc k, the Hall was completely thronged, every avenue to the Chair being

j crowded so as to produce the greatest per

sonal inconvenience to the indivduaU by whom they were filled. About that time, the sound of military music announced the approach to the Capitol of the procession by which the President and President Elect were escorted ; and, in a few minutes afterwards, the doors were thrown open, and the procession entered the Hall of the Representatives. The rush at this moment was tremenduous, and the doors were, for security , closed so rapidly , as to exc lude many of the SenatorsRepresentatives, and c itizens who had remained in the Senate. As soon as the; President Elect had ascended the Speaker's chair, and order had been in some decree restored, he delivered, in a tone of deep feeling, the address which will be found in another part of our paper. As soon as he had concluded his address, which occupied about half an hour in the delivery, the oath prescribed by the constitution was administered by the Chief Justice who'was attended by the other Judges of the Supreme Court. The moment The oath was administered, the fact was announced abroad by a disc barge of cannon. Mr. Adams then received the congratulations of his friends; after which, he left the Hall, and returned in the same order to his House.
