HOUSE Or REPEESEV TATIVES. Monday, Dec. 8. Mr. Stevens from the committee on the petition of John Giuiland and others, praying for a special appropriation of part of the three per cent fund for certain mirp.ise-i- reported a bill favorable thereto; which was read and passed to a se cotid.rcading. s On motion of Mr Evans, Resolved. That the committee of Wavs and Means, be and they are here bv authorized to employ the Hon. Isaac Blackford as a book keeper and accountant to go into the offices of the Auditor and Tieasury Department severally and examine into sue i parts of the books, return, voiichetsand papers thereof from the commencement of the state government up to this day, as said committee mav deire, and report the 'rue balance of each and every amount to said committee in due form. A communication from Samuel Mcrlil, trc iMiivr of state, was icad, Trt:&::ru D furVuent. Dec. 6, 1833. SIll n addition to the communication madu on the 4th inst. I deem it my duty to M.ake kr.o vn to the house some circumv.r.n es n.ich could not properly be derailed in the annual report. ' ' The l ite treasuicr,at the time of delivering t'1- lfcs lo "1C 1 Slimed the right Co pay over on the state debt, a quantity of state bank paper in his hands and as a committee of the house last year had teemed to recognize the above claim, he did, not, at hat time settle in full for the sum that appealed bv the books to Ik due from htm. Hut no provision, on tiu subject, Uin made b the last legislature, a

demand was afterwards made on him for

8983 6 ) the balance in his hands. This he was willing: to pay in state bank paner.

but not considering mysellauthorized 16 I

take it, suit was commenced against him on his bond, by the attorney general. This suit is still depending, Some errors have crept into the books of this department, by reason of which the real situation of the financial concerns of the state docs not appear. It would be desirable, that the committee of ways and means should be directed to examine the subject, and authorize the correction of erroneous entries. Justice to the late treasurer, requires that I should add, that he does not appear to be a gainer by the mistakes alluded to. I have the honor to be "very respectful ly, your obd't. serv't. SAMUEL M ERR ELL. The bill to change pait of the state road from New Albany to Princeton, was read the third time and passed. Mr. Law, from the committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill authorizing a loan fur the use of the state, which was twice read, and referred. Thursday, December 9 Mr. Blake from the committee to whom was referred the petition relative to firing Prairies, reported a bill on that subject, which was read, and laid on the table. Mr. Robertson from the committee on that subject, reported a bill declaring Sugar creek navigable, which was read, and passed to a second reading. Wednesday, December 10. The bill, in addition to the act authorising the laying off certain state roads, was read the third time passed. The bill concerning proceedings in c jectment, distress for rent, and tenants at will holding over, was read the third time and passed The bill for the partition of real estate was read the third time and passed, The bill for the appropriation of part of the three per cent, fund on the road from Madison to Lawrcnceburgh, was read the third time, and passed. Thursday, Dec, 1 1. The bill authorising a loan of S19(X)0,

for the use of the state, was read the third (

time, and passed. This important bill, was passed, by our representatives it appeals, without the ayes and noes being called for they should not have neglected it, Saturday, Dec. 13. The bill regulating prisons and prison bounds, was read the 3d time and passed The house refused to concur in the amendments made in the senate to the loan bill So the two houses have disagreed with respect to some part of the loan bill and it is likely it will be well if they never agree upan it except to reject it. Americans imirisoned a: Havana. Bv the schr. General Jackson, Farrin, arrived lately at Boston from Havana, we learn that eighteen American sailors have been imprisoned at that place, on suspicion of having murdered a Spanish sailor on the Mole. Amoni: the number confined are all the crew and mate of the brig JVoble Maxwell, belonging to Boston. FROM MEXICO.
