February 1. In the Senate, the bill for distributing a, portion of the revenue of the United States among the several States wa culled tip by Mr. Dickerson, who e spl lined its object m a speech of great length: on motion of Mr. Benton, the bill was then laid on the table. Mr. S-inford moved the re consideration of the vote taken yesterday on ordering the Bankrupt bill to a third reading: this motion, after a long discussion, was decided in the affirmative ayes 20, nays 17. The bill was then recommitted to a select committee, with instructions tc strike out the 93d section. The House of Representatives were agin engaged in discussion on the Mann lacturerV bill. A resolution to recommit the bill, with instructions, was offered by Mr. Cook, and negatived by a vote of 95 to 93. Mr. Saunders called up a resolution which he had offbrod on the preceding dav, calling for a return of the papers in which the laws of the United Slates have been authorized to be printed. In his rem;irk on the subject, he made a distinct charge against Mr. Clay of using the power, of selecting the papers for the publication of the laws, in reference to the promo ti 3ii of his own private and political views. We forbear saying any thing further, than that then- will be no difficulty in proving the accusation to be unfounded, without g'ing anv further in quest of evidence than to the list of papers themselves. February 2. In the Senate, Mr. Hayne, from the select committee to which was re committed the Bankrupt bill, reported the same with an amendment, expunging the 9 d section thereof: the bill was laid on th tabl . The consideration of the lull lo redm e the duty on imported salt was resumed ; and, after an animated debate, the bill was ordered to a third reading ayes 22. noes 20. Id the H-.use of Representatives, the consideration of the resolution offered by M: Saunders was resumed, the debate on tvhu h continued till the time prescribed for the consideration of resolutions had elaped. The Hue was engaged during th remainder uf the day on bills of a private nature. February C. In the Senate, the consideration of the bankrupt bill, together with the amendment striking out the 93d sec

tion, was resu-ned. The amendment was

agreed; as was another limiting its opera

lion to 3 years. The question on ordering the hill to n third reading was decided in the negative ay-s 21, nays 27. I.i the Houe of Representatives, an tinsuccessful attempt was madt to lay on the table the resolution offered b) Mr. Saunders. The House then took up the discus-ion of the Manufacture!' bill, when Mr Sill -prk' at some length in favour of the hi!!, and Mr. Drajton and Mr. Bryan against it. On motion of Mr. WeJ ptcr, the House on its part appointed a committee of seven members, to join a committee on the part of the Senate, to select such business as hould be acted on this session. February 7. In the Senate, a m -mortal wa presented from the American Coloni zitinn So iety, praiti pecuniary aid from Co gress in the prosecution of their designs. After some remarks from different gentlemen, the Chair decided that the p tition could not be received, for the reason that it was not signed h the petitioner, and that the m inner who introduced it could not avcrtb the hand-writing of the

petitioners. 1 he resolution to examine certain site? on the western waters, with a view to the establishment of a national armory, was read a third time and passed. The House of Representatives were again engaged ir the discussion of the reso 1 ut ion off red by Mr. Saunders. The discussion was then resumed on the Manu fat torers"' bill, in which the House was enpaged until half past seven o'clock. The diff rent amendments offered were sue ccssively rejected, and the question occurred on the engrossment of the bill, but it wa not taken. The Secretary of war communicated to the If ouse letters from Governor Duvall, and the sul-agent, on the condition of the Florida I tdians, from which it is inferred Cs probable, that they w ill in future be unable to derive u' sistence from either the soil or the forest, in that portion of the Territory in which they are located, and which h deemed inadequate to their support. The Secretary suggests the propri cty of providing for their removal to a more productive country, or of adopting esse other measure for their relief.

A bill 1 as passed both houses of con gres authorizing the trustees for the Asylum for teaching the deaf and dumb in the State of Kentucky, to locate, in sections, so much of their location as may be taken Iiy the law granting pre-emption rights to actual settlers iu Florida.

In both houcs of congre:s reports acre made, uccempanied by bills, in substantially the same form, for repulatinj trade end intercourse between the United States end British colonies. The reports in both houses arc of considerable length, and esbibit much industry end research. The object of the bill is, to prevent the admission of any vessels into the ports of the United States, after tt.e 30th day of September nest, from the Colonies and possessions of Great Britain, including them all by name except Upper Canada: with a provision for the suspension of the act in either of two cases, vi$. First, if the President shall receive satisfactory evidence that the ports in the British colonies and possessions are open to the admission of vessels of the United States, paying no higher or other duties than those levied on British vessels, and that our vessels are permitted to t Xport therefrom the same produce, and on the same terms, as Biitish vessels, then this act may be suspended by proclamation of the President. S' Cii dlv: the bill proposes the provision which Mi. Gallatin was authoii zed to propose to the British government, viz. that if vessels ol the United States are admitted into, the British colonies, or possessions, paying no I igher d.ities than the vessels ol Great Britaie, and permitted to export thence, toxmy country except Great Britain, any articles which British -essels may tiport, then the President may declare, by proclamation, that Biitish vessels arriving in the United States from the eolonies of Great Britain, shall not be subjected to any higher duties than vessels of the United State, ect. From and after the date of such procla matinr, in either case, the acts of congress of 1818, island 1C23, being all the acts restricting this trade, are declared to be repealed: the effect of which repeal will be, to leave British vessels ct liberty to clear from the United States to any country whatever, cs cur vcsstls may clear thence. The general language of this act is to say to the British government, if you will open the direct trade between the United States and the colonies, we will do the same: if ou insist on the circuitous trade, we shall follow your lead. The bill seems to be framed in a spirit of amity, by which also the report of the committee of com merce in each House appears to be char neterized. At this we are the more gratified, as we are decidedly opposed to nny thing like a quarrel between the two na tions upon any question 6uch as the one involved in this controversy, which each nation has an indisputable right to act up on municipally, without offence to the other. We have no doubt that, in the end. Great Britain will see her interest in rctiacing her step?, seeing that the United Sta'es is entirely disposed to act towards her cn principles of reciprocity. Ibid. The fate of the Bankrupt hill is decided. It has been rejected in the. Senate, by a vote of nearly two to one, and which leaves ne hope of success at the prcKyrt session, and but little hope of its succeeding in future years. The majority against it was far greater than was anticipated, we believe, even by the opponents of the measure. The debate tipen it has been able, profound, and el iquenr. The decision has been a solemn cne, leaving no room to look for nny reversal of it, now, or within any reasonable limit of expectation.

1 he measure ha- failed, cut it haa not failed for the want of able and zealous ttd vocates. To Mr. Hayne, the supporter of it, is due the praise of a zeal equal to the ability which he has conspicuously displaced in this cause. He has been ably supported by Mr. Berrien and others. They have been opposed with equal ability. The result of such q debate, turning wholly upon principle, leaves little hope of success, within our day, cf cny measure of this description. Hid

Selected frcxa Diftrrn Taper. Spam. In consequence of caveral nctr: addressed bv Ur. Lamb, the British mini:ter at Madrid, to the Spanish government, the minister of war baa cent the following order to ell the commandants of the frontier provinces: Every Portuguese ccnsCuticsalht who may have been made n prisoner cf warcn the invasion cf the infanlilzs, cr.d shall cater the Spanish territory, chall be treated with every kindners, and such hospitality shewn him cs is due to tho subjects cf friendly nations and allies." The Portuguese charge cj' affaire hzz communicated to the Spanish coTcrnrr.rnt the decision cf the Portugese regency, not to reccjnize f.I. de Ccsa Flores cs Spanish ambassador. To this communication was added the reports of the governors of the Portuguese provinces cn the frontiers of Spain, announcing foe invasion of the Portcguese refugees. He concluded his letter with new complaints, end by demanding further explanations; but instead of giving them, M. Salmon, in bis reply, observed, that a$ the functions of II. de Casa Flores had ceased at Lisbon, these tif M. Pnnt At Lima. Pnrtn rharre

de' affairs at fdadrid, were also at an end, and that consequently he was under the necessity of terminating his diplomatic relations with him. Portugal.-The chamber of psers in order to prov' its devotion to the constitution, had volunteered to march to the frontiers; counts Ficolho, Tarpa. Silveira, and others had already set out. The princc3 regent had decreed that all the militia who miht choose to join the army in defence of the constitution, should not be hept more than six months in service. From document communicated to the chamber, it appears that most of the sovereign inEurope have given their countenance to the nen order of things in Portugal Greece. A letter dated at Napoli, Oct. 13th, says, "An English vessel which arrived yesterday from Constantinople brought

to the committee of the national assembly, (the committee of thirteen,) a letter from Mr. Stratford Canning, in which that min ister informs them That 1 e has rei eived the instructions he spei ted, touching the arrangements between the Porte and Greece, tz. that they contained precise or dert to make to the Turkish ministry proportions founded cn the demands cf the Greeks; that the negotiation between Russia and the Porte were to to concluded on the 7th Oct. and that he ncald take care to make known the result to the members of the committee ; end that in case cf an amicable arrangement between the two empires, the Russian ambassador wcnld proceed immediately from Ackerman to Constantinople, to terminate as promptly

as possible the afjairs of Gre ce. The despatch is signed, ulr cr friei & and servant, Stratford Cann..;y Turkey.-- The accounts frc. ";nstantinople possess little matter cf L.

It provides for the fulfilment of all the articles of the treaty of Bucharest, which have not been eiecuted by the Porte since 1812 to insure the territorial possessions of Russia on the coasts of the Br!: Sea, and to restore all the privileges which Uoldavia, Wnllachia and wTvia should enjoy under the tutelary inflceucc of the cabinet of St. Pelersburgh.
