which passed through the usual stages of

legislation, and was referred to a Committee of the Whole. The House returned the consideration of the resolutions submitted by Mr Condict, for imposing a restriction upon the use of spirituous liquors in the Navy. Mr Chilton, after observing that, in

his opinion, the temperance which required a bounty in its aid, was not to be called temperance, any more than the virtue which required watching, could be termed virtue, moved an amendment, to the effect that the practice of intemperance was equally reprehensible among civilians, a among the military and naval servants of their country The amendment was, upon a division, negatived; and, after a motion by Mr. Pearce for the orevious question, the resolutions were agreed to.

Mr. D orsev, and the amendment of the latter gmtle nan was upon a division rejected.

Mr. Pearce subbmittcd an amendment, granting $50,000 of the sum to be appropriated to the nieces of Com. Decatur; but the proposition was rejected. On motion of Mr. Hartley, the Committee rose and reported the bill Mr. Chilton moved to lay the hill and amendments upon the tabic. Mr. 'icker, of S. Carolina, moved to strike ou. the enacting clause, with a view of testing the merits of the bill; to the principles ot which bill, as making a donation mr Mie neHormance of a public duty, he declared bi-nself lecidedly opposed. Mr. Mc Du'Tie supported the bill, and entered into

In the House of Representatives, a message was received from the President of the United States, informing Congress that he had signed the Indian appropriation bill, together with various others of a private nature. A number of petitions and memorials were presented, upon the printing of one of which, submitted by Mr. Uurges, from certain members of the society of Friends, in New England, in behalf of the Indians, a long discussion took place. Messrs. Sterigere, Burges Spencer, of New-York, Lamar, Hell, Good-

enow, Condict, Lumpkin, Thompson, of

Georgia, Hubbard, Chilton, Whittlesey, and Hates, addressed the House upon the subject.

Mr. Stengere renewed a motion which he

had made at the commencement of the debate,

to lay the memorial upon the table; and the

yeas and nays being taken on the call of Mr.

Bates, the proposition was negatived by a vote

of 110 to 64. Mr. Bell moved, as an amend

ment, to print their other memorials which

had been presented upon the same subject,

in oroer to prevent an invidious comparison from beincr made between them.. Mr. Bates

objected to the motion. Mr. Gcodenow continued, and observed that, in the event of the amendment proposed by Mr. Bell being rejected, he should move that the memorial presented from the Friends in Ohio, at their annual meeting, be also printed, with a view of throwing, as the gentleman from RhodeIsland, (Mr. Burges) seemed to consider necessary, more light upon the subject, Mr. Hayne briefly explained the motives which had actuated him in voting to lay the memorial upon the table, and declared his intention to vote against the printing in whatever shape

it might be presented. Mr Craig, of Vir

ginia, adverted to the length of the debate,

and trusted that to prevent its further extension, Mr. Bell would withdraw his amend

ment, and acquiesce in tho printing of so

small a document as that submitted to the

House by Mr. Burges. Mr. Bell, in reply,

referred to the course which the debate had taken, and the invidious distinction which might be made between the different memo

rials, as rendering it necessary fir him to decline acceding to the request of a withdrawal

of his proposition. After a continuedvand

lengthened discussion of the subject, Mr.

Dc V ltt, at 3 o clock, called lor the pretious

question, which was ordered by a vote of 107 ;

and, upon a division, the memorial was direc

ted to be printed, by a vote of 106, the noes not being counted. The remainder of the

sitting was occupied by receiving of petitions,

Carabreleng, Ramsey, and Hoffman, the Memorial, which was of great length, was, upon the request of tho latter, read to the House. Mr. Martin objected to tho proposed reference of the memorial to the Committee on Manufactures? and moved that it be sent to a Committee of the Whole cn the state of the Union. Mr.

Washington, March 3. In Senate, yesterday, the bill from the

House of Representatives, making provision for taking the fifth census of the United States

was discussed, together with the amendments proposed by the Committee on the Judiciary,

to increase the compensation to Marshals

and their deputies, so as to correspond with the responsibility, labor and importance of the subject, and to secure a faithful performance of the duty. The amendments were ordered to bo engrossed, and the bill read a third time. Mr. Kane presented a petition form the superintendent of the Female Academy in Georgetown, under the direction of the religious order of the Jesuits, praying a donation of public property in the District of Columbia, in aid of that institution. Mr. Hendricks presented a memorial from the Legislature of Indiana, praying for an appropriation to aid in improving the navigation of the Wabash and White rivers. The President of the Sxoate presented three memorials from the blacksmiths and manufacturers of hardware, in the city of Philadelphia, praying a reduction of duty on the materials of their manufacture. Several other memorials, petitions and resolutions were presented, by Messrs. Tyler, King, and Woodbury. Mr. Knight replied to some strictures offered the day previoui by Mr. Grundy, in the course of his speech,

oo thoso who had been engaged in plundering the coast of Africa for slaves, and importing them into this country, which Mr. K. thought reflected on the moral character of Rhode Island ; and Mr. Grundy rejoined, showing that be had neither charged the State of Rhode Island, nor even the people generally, with a want of moral feeling ; he only alluded to those who had trafficked in slaves. M r. Clayton occupied the floor on Mr. Frot's resolution, in reply to Messrt. Grundy, Woodbury, tec, until the usual hour of adjournment ; and before he concluded his remarks, the Senate adjourned. Mr. C. has the floor for to-day. In the House of Representatives, petitions from the States, which, on account of the lateness of the hour to which the sitting extended on the preceding day, bad not been presented, were submitted and referred Various memorials, on the subject of the Indians, were ordered to be printed. Among the petitions was one presented by the Speaker from certain Blacksmiths and other manufacturers, of the city of Philadelphia, on the subject of the tariff, as respects the high duties upon raw materials; the reference of which, was, oo motion of Mr. Ver-

to the Committee on Manufactures, would be like sending sheep to the wolf, considering the report which they had presented to the House. Would they, he asked, prefer sending it to an unbiassed, unprejudiced and impartial committee, or to one which, it might be considered, had alreadjr prejudged the question? He was in favor of referring it to the Committee of the Whole on tho state of the Union. After some observations from Mr. Hoffman, Mr. McDuffie addressed the House in favor of the reference proposed by his colleague, (Mr. Martin,) adverting, in the course of his remarks, to the circumstance of the indignity put upon the Committee of Ways and Means, by the rejection, oo its first reading, of the bill which they had reported, embracing, among other provisions, the subject of the present memorial for the reduction of the duty on bar 8nd rolled

iron, which, at present, paid a duty amounting almost to an utter prohibition. Mr.

Ramsey, Mr. Burges, and Mr. Mallary, likewise spoke upon the subject; and Mr. Ver-

planck replied; after which, the memorial was referred to a Committee of the Whole

on the atate of the Union. The House then

took up the consideration of the resolution proposed by Mr. Vinton, for the printing of

the laws of several of the Southern States, in relation to the Indians within their terri

torial limits, as an appendage to the report of the Committee on Indian Affairs, presented by Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, and previously ordered to be printed. Mr. Bell addressed the House at some length. The question was upon the amendment of Mr. Foster.

of Georgia, as modified, to strike out the ori

ginal resolution, and direct the Clerk of tho House to cause to be printed the original laws of the States extending jurisdiction over the Indian tribes. Mr. Sterigere, after some observations from Mr. Test of Indiana, with respect to the foregoing question, moved that the subject be referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs; after some discussioa in which Mr. Everett, of Mass. Mr. Llli worth and Mr. Hoffman participated, Mr. Wilde moved that the resolution, as amended by the motion of Mr. Sterigere, be committed to the Committee on Indian Affairs, with instruction to select and report such, or so much of the laws of the several States, the treaties, and judicial doctrines, as it may be proper to print for the information of the House. Mr Sterigere, adopted the amendment; upon which, Mr. Vinton called for the yeas and nays. They were about to be taken upon the question of agreeing to it, when the hour having expired, the further consideration of the subject was deferred. The bill for the relief of Mrs. Decatur, was taken up, and advocated by Mr Drayton, until the close If the sitting. Previous to tho adjournment of the House, the Speaker submitted several communications from the Public Departments; the principal one of which was, a report from the Secretary of War, in answer to a resolution of the House requiring such information on the subject of the fortifications on the northern frontiers of the United States, as it might not be inexpedient for the interest of the Nation to publish. Another communication was presented from the Secretary of the Treasury, in relation to the customs. The Hon. Jame W. Ripley

was, on motion of his colleague, Mr Mclntyre, allowed leave of absence on account cf indispositioo. WASHtifOTOH. March 4.
