IN SENATE. March 7, 1826. Mr. Hendricks, from (he Select Committee on Roads and Canals, to whom was referred the memorial of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, on the subject of the location of the Cumberland Road through that State, REPORTED: That the memorial sets forth, that a direct line from Columbus to Indianapolis,

vails among the laboring cL:: s 2400 persons had been discharged from two manufacturing establishments io Gloucestershire. The deficiency in the British revenue for the quarter ending Jan. 5, 1826, proved to be more enormous than expected. : It was apprehended that it would amount to 3,CC0,000, and it has amounted to five !

The British Cabinet has rejected the treaty lately concluded with the emperor of Brazil, by Sir Charles Stuart. This is a favorable circumstance for Buenos Ajres

in the new war. The monied concerns of England, tho' better than during the late spasm, are far from being restored to health and activity. A society ha9 been formed in Dublin for the improvement of the Irish peasantry, tho foremost supporters of which arc the Quakers. xmroa, January C. We have received by crpre&s, this morning, the Etoile dated yesterday. Its contents are of great interest. The intelligence from St. Peters-

burgh, at length, clears up all doubts ns to the accession cf Constantine to the Impe

rial Throne. It appears there did exist a foimal document, signed by Constantine, by which he renounced, in favor of the Arch-duke Nicholas, his right to the crown. When the news reached St. Petersburg, of the death of tiie Emperor Alexander, this document was opened and read: but Nicholas .refused to act upon its conditions; and instead of placing the crown on his own head, he, and after hirn. the whole Imperial familv, the Senate, Sec.

took the oaths of fidelity to Constantino, j prjm jples of those rights of nations winch lie latter, meanwhile, conscious of thej!aiv in their nature controvertible.

tar the town of Centrcville is distant from

Seat of Justice of the rich and flourishing county of Vigo; that the ground for the location through thoc villages, is favorable for a road; and that the pn sperity of those, towns, and the interests of the coun-tit-s whose seats of justice they are, will be very much affected by the final determination of the Commissioner in the location. The memorialists request that Ccntreville and Terre Haute may be made points on

tiie road. The Committee availed themselves of the information of several gentlemen, acquainted with the country near to those places, and were informed that, through the county of Wayne, ground much more eligible for the road may be had, by passing through the towns of Richmond and Centrcville, than by the direct line. Richinoi d is a flourishing place, about five

inorial. and th.it, it any discretionary pnw ! cr over the location was vested in the Sec-! retary of War, that he w ould feel himself authorized to direct the location thus to be j made. Under these circumstances, the j Committee addresed a letter to the officer j

at the head of that Department, and have jj received for answer, that the Comtnis I! sioncr charged with the location, will be j!

instructed uto make an examination embracing ihe points indicated in tin ir letter, in order that the route passing through them, may be compared with the most direct route." Believing that the object of the memorial will be attained under the direction of the Serretarv of War, the Committee have not reported a hill; and for the same reason, ask to be discharged frem the further consideration of the subject.
