FIRST SESSION.

From the National Journal. Monday, Feb. 13. In the Senate, the bill making an appropriation of 15,000 for the repair of the road through the Indian country, between Jackson and Columbus, in the State of Mississippi, was the subject of considerable discussion. It was opposed upon the ground that Congress had no power to make a road within the limits of a State, and that, when the State of Mississippi was admitted into the Union, the jurisdiction which, previously, the Indians ceded to the United States over this road, passed to4 the State, and was vested in it. It was supported on the ground, that the road run through an Indian country, the title to'which had never been extinguished, and that, therefore, the State had no power to make it; that like applications had received the favor of Congress, and that no constitutional principles were connected with the bill. It was or dered toa third reading. In the House of Representatives, the bill for the relief of Penelope Denny was

passed. The House went into committee

The death of the Emperor Alexander, of Russia, has been viewed by many

las an event fraught" with impor

tant consequences.

We are inclined to

somewhat a different opinion. The trea-

j ty of the Holy Alliance is, it is true, a personal one between monarchs, having been 'signed by their own hands, which is unutsual. Supposing thnt the new emperor iConstantine should consider himself exonerated from the obligations of that com- ! pact, the policy of the compact itself is j founded upon such strong reasons, in reference to the royal families of continental Europe, that even if the treaty of the Holy Alliance did not exist, it would be the interest of the crowned heads concerned,

to adhere to the course which it inculcates, it the new emperor of Russia, was adrrij ;.

Ruth Wheeler, a cancer doctor in Providence, brought an action against a Mr. Hill to recover pay for attending upon his wife and dreeing her cancer ten ditferent times. It appeared in evidence that Mrs. Hill had no cancer but a scrofulous humour; and that the quack had applied vitriol to the uppoed cancer in tuch quantities as to seriously injure the patient. The plaintiffuas nonsuited, on the ground, that a person undertaking any profession mut possess skill in the exercise of that prolession to entitle him to recover. Phil. S. E. Post. 1

the consideration ot Executive business. The bill for the survey of a route for a canal across the Peninsula of Florida wa passed. The House of Representatives resolved itselfinto Committee on Mr. M'DuihVs resolutions to amend the Constitution, in relation to the election of President and Vice-President. Mr. M'Dutlie made an able speech, of about an hour and a half. The bills making appropriations for the Navy and the Library, were passed. Thursday, Feb. 1C The Senate was occupied nearly the whole day in the con

sideration of Executive business. In the House of Representatives, the resolution offered by Mr. Miner, of Pa. in relation to t lie Breakwater in the Delaware Bay , which has occupied the House for somu days, was finally adopted. Mr. Garnsey oflfered a resolution proposing an amendment of the Constitution in relation

FnrD.w, Feb. 17.- The Senate were chieilv occupied with Executive business. In the House of Representatives, an interesting report from the Secretary of War was transmitted by the President, in

relation to the cite for an arsenal at Augusta in Georgia. Mr. Cambreleng introduced a resolution calling for the monthly statement of the affairs of the United States Bank for the last y ear. Oa motion of Mr. Cook, the Committee on Public Lands were instructed to consider the expediency of allowing certain privileges to settlers near the Lead Mines in Illinois. The House then went into committee of the whole on the state of the Union, when Mr. Storrs delivered an able ppcecb, which oc-

gal prerogatives, in contempt of the claims

I of their subjects to political justice. 1 he desire of the people of their respective dominions,for the enjoy mnt of rationalliberty, i is not less at this time than it was when the compact was formed; and, it may be fairpresumed that the European sovereigns j have lost none of their feeling for the perIpctuation of the property of their kingdoms in their respective families. If, therefore, the emperor Constantino be of j that despotic temper which has been ascribed to him, the treaty of the Holy Alliance will exactly suit him; and he will, it ! h most probable, continue the sanction of j Russia to it.

j Russian politics, in relation to Turkey, rest upon a basis totally different from that of the Holy Alliance. Pursuing the de sin of the empress Catharine, the court of St. Petersburg has constantly kept in view the acquisition of Constantinople, and perhaps, a portion of the Turkish prounces ; in Europe. The main obstacles to Russian ambition, in that respect, is the jealousy nf Austria, France and Great Bri ! tain. Austria fears an increase of Russian ; force on her frontier: France, as the bul i wark of the independence of the south of , Europe, is opposed to any further expanjsion of the formidable northern empire: j and Great-Britain cannot see with indiller- ! ence the stride of the Russian colossus to- ; wards Asia Minor, winch at no distant day , 1 might induce another step towards India.

: It is these high interests which hold the cabinet of St. Pclcrsburt; iu check, ai d ena- , hie the Porte to resist the menacing encroachments of Russia. If Alexander, ! w bova so popular with his subjects, dared i.ct venture on the enterprise, it is not ; likely that Constantinc will do so. The protection of the Greeks and their religion, is the pietence on which Rusia

I hss undertaken to interfere with the at- ( furs of Turkey. But Great Britain, France and Autria, arc not to be deceived j by such a pretext; They know well that it

is ambition, and not alleciion lor me j Greeks, or love of religion, that animates ; the court of St. Petersburg in its con troverI sies with the Divan. The same motives 1 prevail now as in the life-time of Alexan- ! der, for resisting the efficient interposition j of Russia in Grecian aliairs; and hence we I expect none from Constantine. The j Greeks will be left to struggle as hereto- ' fore. We apprehend, indeed, that they ; are, at present, little competent to a proJ longation of theirstruggle, especially since j the safe arrival of the strong Egyptian

squadron from Alexandria, with reinforce

ments for Ibrahim Pacha. Thus the hopes

of the christian world, with respect to

the independence of Greece, will have been baflled by a coincidence in the policy of certain European governments with that of the Moslem. The Greeks mav obtain a qualified independence to what extent we do not undertake to conjecture. Their cruel destiny reminds us of a remark of a French writer, w ho said that what is called policy, in the affairs of government, is a monster, with all ey es, and no bjivels of compassion.

It is said that several stores in Broadway have been shut up in consequence of the prevalence of the Influenza. In Courtlaud street, and several other places, several whole families are sick. Indeed, it is nothing but a coi tinual bark among us. Snmdon Ak

The Greek government has lately manifested great jealousy of the French olhceis

I to an e xtreme length. General Roche
