HOUSE OV REPRESENTATIVES. Saturday, Jay 8, 1823 Y ARASII AND MIAMI CANAL. The House tlicn resolved itself into a eominiucc of the whole, Ml ROSS in the chair, on the bill to authorise the State of Indiana to open a canal through the public land to connect the navigation uf the rivers Wabash and the Miami of the Lakes. Mi. CALL, Delegate from Florida, moved to amend the bill by sti iking out the words "ninety feet" proposed by the bill to he given for the location of the Canal, and insert in lieu thereof a provision for giving the squat c of a mile on each side the whole length of the Canal. In support of this motion, Mr Call delivered a speech of some length, which he commenced by replying to an anticipated objection on the score of precedent, bv s sving that a grant of land for a road was in piinciple the same as a grant for a canal, and a grant similar to this, for a road through a part of the state of Ohio towa'ds Detfoil, hail been lately made He then turned his attention to the imp.ntancc of the eatud proposed to be made, which, lie sad, would open a commuuiealion which would connect NewOrleans with he Western Lakes, to the ct eat facilitation of military operations for the purpose of defence, c. not to spcak f the laciiilation of commerce. i,n thi channel, however important, it wruld not be possible to open, for a long time at least, without the aid of a giant ci the pub'io lands, See. Mr. Rankin, the Chairman of the committee of public lands, stated the icws rf the committee on the subject. They duly appreciated the iinpoi tancc of such a canal, believing it the best point for the connection of those waters, but weie restrained by principles on which the had alwavs acted, from going beyond the space necessary for a canal, and for existing the collection of tolls thereon If congress intended to give a grant to thh ctnal. or any other oad or canal, it was much preferable that the grant ;.;ooM be in money, rather than in land. The. road which had been spoken of, v is claimed as a right, accruing under the treatv of llrownstown, and could not be considered as a precedent for this measure. With regard to the expediency of granting aid to this mensute, Mr. R said., if it should be included in a genet al system of internal improvement, he idioiitd be in favor of it. but was opposed to acung upon it in the manner now proposed. Mr McLean, of Ohio, made a few renntks expressive of the deep interest he felt on this subject and of his conviction th.it the benefit to accrue from it to the United States, would doubly repay the whole expense of making the canal. Mr. Tevt. of Indiana, explained .the geographical character of the country through which the canal is to be run. It v .ts a measure so perfectly practicable, that he bcliexcd the deepest pait of the canal fiom the surface, supposing the canal to be a dead level, would not be ;no,c tiu:j twenty-live feet. Its length

vrould be only from 15 to 20 miles. The country on both sides of the route was extremely rich, as rich, indeed, as it possibly could be, and capable of producing a vast amount of agricultural products. On the importance of this work to that country, and to the United States, generally; he dwelt at some length, and then replied to the objections made by Mr. Rankin, on the ground of the obligations of the compact with Virginia, and shewed by computation that the proposed appropriation of land would advance the value of the public lands to a much greater amount than that of the proposed appropriation. On Motion of Mr. Tracy of NewYork, the committee then rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.

We have received Washington papers down to the l5th inst. The" Tariff bill has passed the senate. The amendments heretofore, adopted, striking out the duty of Hemp and Iron, had been reconsidered, and the duty restored, which, we be licve, will insure the final passage of the bill in the house of representatives, to which it had been returned and referred to a committee for consideration. The internal improvement bill had passed both houses of congress, and had been signed by the president. Public Adv. Mr. Randolph This gentleman paid a visit to Baltimore during the last week, and is reported to have said, in his own peculiar way "that the people of the United States were sold by wholesale every eight years; and by retail every year of the intermediate time." These are wholesale" expressions but the misfortune is, there is too much present aifiearance of truth in them Xilrs Register. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. It is rumoured that the governor will convene the legislature by proclamation, at an earlier day than the one to which it stands adjourned, so that there shall be time for a bill to be passed giving the people the choice of presidential electors. Phis may be done with propriety. There is much business iaid over to be taken up at their next fall session; so that this at all events, may as well be done prior to the day fixed on for the meeting, as after it It will cost the state no more, and may be the means of restoring to the people their long withheld rights We cannot vouch for the authenticity of the rumor; but we believe it is well founded. Albany Gazette. The Stone. It appears that the French surgeons have obtained a triumph most honorable for themselves, and most precious to humanity. Dr. Civiale has succeeded in curing the disorder of the stone without the operation of cutting. His method consists in the introduction of an instrument, which seizes the stone. then crushes it. and reduces it to pow der. This ingenious process is far less afflicting, and does not compromise the existence or even the health of patients. Paris Pa fur. Wc have examined a piece or cotton Bagging manufactured at Lexington, from hemp dressed by the patent hemp break of Mr Smcad, now at work upon the farm of Ilcnrv Clay. We venture to assert, it is superior in strength and work manship to any bagging ever before exhibited, and may proudly challenge the Scottish looms, protected as they are, by British legislation to produce its equal. It may be seen at the Louisville Insurance office. Jfjrning Post. Nf.w Orleans, Mav 3.
