A ft c 1 speaking fufther on the eminent benefitb which the possession of, and right of pn por.y to, the mineral country, secured to tho United otates,he ?het concluded by observing ttiat he considered the purchase in question, one of the best and wisest acts of the present administration Mr Drayton followed; and the amendment, in a modified shape, was finally adopted. The Committee also took up the bill making appropriations to carry into effect certain Indian treaties, and after vatious amendments, proposed and adopted, the committee rose and reported the bills as amended Upon the question ot concurring m the amendment, withholding the military pay and emoluments of Gen. Mc Neil. Mi. Miller dissented from ihe committee, and addressed the House in explanation ot his objections to such a measure. Mr. Buchanan also opposed the amendment, although he would cheerfully support a bill to prevent such allowances in tuture, the country hav ing a right to claim the undivided services ot ail her officers. Mr. Wickliffe stated 'hat the committee on retrenchment had alieady reported a bill upon the subject, which shortly come up for consideration. Mr. Potke spokt in opposition to the amendment, and Mr. Vuice rejoined, and concluded by expressing his intention to ask for the ayes and noes upon the question. Mr Diavton als opposed the amendment, contending that tht question ot making a treaty was not a matter ol acquisition ol property atone but el personal satety, also Theaues in their results saved many ot ..ur citizens irom massacre, and the moral influence oi those military urli ccrs, who had met ami aoqushtd the In diansin battle, operated mmt powenully up on the minds ot uncivilized savages, than could be expected to accrue tioo. ;.c 1 m ployment of civilians, with wnost n i. nd attainments a batbarous people cuu u no", p is sibly be acquainted.

Mr. Grennel spoke in favor of the amendment of Mr. Vance, and contended that it was not necessary in a treaty with the Indians, nor was it warranted by justice humanity, or sound policy, to overawe and intimidate thsra by

Indeed, in support of this belief he has managed 10 brii g togtther a number of very diverting arguments, which c up readers shall have in his own words.

T hey are frxm six to fittetn teet high, and are full of humane bones, which kre found to be a great deal larger than those of the present race of men. I come o the opinion that this country wis inhabited before the flooa first, because these human bones are the laigest in the world, and men, it is known, decreased in stature as his years were shortened; end

bate followed, in which Mr. Polke and Mr. Burgcs spoke in reference to former appro priations for public, or alleged public objects. Messrs Barnwell and Davis of Massachusetts also addressed the house until at ttie suggestion of Mr. Clay, Mr. Drayton withdrew his amendment, when Mr Clay called for a division of the question upon the amend mentof Mr. Vance, in order that the House might adjudicate the case of the allowance being made to General Mc Niel, as commissioner in the first instance, and the circumstance refunding it afterwards Mr. Coulter supported the amendment; after which Mr. ''lay withdrew his motion for a division, staing that he should vote against the amend ment in toto, on the ground that it was a retrospective law, and that he was adverse to

the exetcise of a judicial power by the house.

Mr. Sutherland supported the original bill, i kc. at a depth of thirtr feet under ii,c .-ur

Telegrafih. From the Miami Times, of April 7, 1830. Navigation of the Wabash. If we are not mistaken it was in 1821, or 22, that Mr. Linton, Merchant, of TerreHaule, induced a Steam Boat to ascend the Wabash to that place, being 300 mi.es by water, from the Ohio. In 1825, Mr Elston, then Merchant, of Lafayette, now ot Crawfordsville, treighted the Steam Boat American to Lafayette, 120 miles farther. No boat ventured above Tippecanoe until the 24th ult. when the Paragon, Capt. John Moore, of Ripley, Ohio, owner and master, came to the mouth of Rock Creek, 30 miles above Lafayette, and 12 miles below this place. I he river was then at a low stage and falling, which induced the Capt. to discharge his freight and return. This has added 30 miles more of Steam Boat navigation, making 450. Ever since the first boat entered the Wabash, here has been much 'speculation about the head of Steam Boat navigation According to the opinion of some, it was fiermanentty fixed at Lafayette; but the late adventure of Capt. Moore, goes to show that men, however wise in their own conceit, may be deceived, and that its permanent and unknown location is still ahead; hence we will not venture to locate it at Logansfiort, foi we have no doubt, when the business will justify, that Steam Boats will ascend to the mouth of the Mississinawa, 20 miles above this place, without danger.

We are informed by a gentleman who was on board the Paragon, that the bar, a short distance below Lafayette, had but 6J feet wa ter, and that all the bars between Lafayette and Rock creek were found to contain, (strange as it may appear.) more water than the one below Lafayette, except the one at the mouth of Deer creek, which had precisely the same quantity. This, then, goes to establish the important fact, that whenever a steam boat (no matter how respectable" the siae ) can come to Lafayette, she can, with as great safety, arrive at the the mouth of Rock Creek; and we venture to add, that whenev er the water on the Lafayette bar is 7 feet, she can land at Logantfiort! Should another boat arrive at Lafayette with freight for Delphi or this place, the stage of the river may be ascertained by enquhingof Col Johnson, Inn keeper, Messrs. Martin or Hanna, merchants, or of Messrs. Digby and Davis, pilots. The pilots are well acquainted with the river, and will pilot such boats as may want pilots for this part of the Wabash.

When we noticed, a day or two since, the design of establishing a Monthly Magazine at Vandalia, under the editorial caic of Mr. James Hall, we might have added that the projectors have already found strong reasons for expecting speedy success The patronage of such a miscellany, if conducted with the ability which we are entitled to look for, should not be confined to the west. Its plan embraces much that cannot fail to yield both entertainment and valuable information to

rcadeis in every section of our country. The 1 York, have united with those o! PennsvUania.

tion of the Chamber. The measure.it says, cannot be considered as being taken m a passion and without leflection. Power, in its most sudden movements, has always some motive, though they may b foo'Uh ones, and the prorogation must be regatded as the result of a plan previously contrivt d, to escape from the deliberate and significant expression of parliamentary opinion. Those who dive into the views of the ministers and their political friends, suppose that among their calculations, one is. that they will be able to buy twenty-five of the forty majority, before September. Some suppose hat a mofic ation of the Cabinet will be tiied. In ti e mean time it is asked what is to be done with tho law d'amortisttcmeni which mus' re acted upon iii June, and whether the mimstiy will undertake to settle by a simple ordonnanra what ought to be rtgulated by law; aid whether the amount ot the expedition to Algiers will be settled by the King's simpi warrants. The Constitution also aska whether the ministers suppose, in case the could buy the twenty-five votes, that the forty majority who carried the address constitute the whole strength of the opposition io the Chamber? As to the threats ot a dissolution, he says it is exactly what the Deputies desire and opinion calls for. The King is said to be resolved; that he is known to have said, within the twenu four hours preceding the prorogation' J'aimt mieux mcntcr a cheval que monter en char ette meaning that he will rather t?y th chances of a civil war, than expose himself to the fate of Louis XVI. Notwithstanding these circumstances, the Funds have risen Preparations for the expedition against Algiers, continue to be prosecuted with vigor. Thirty two thousand ttoops are to be embarked at Toulon which is to be thf effective force of the expedition. As fait as their quarters are c -cuatcd, their plecei are Gltd with fresh troops, so tha' there ill be as many troops left at Toulon, as go upon t lie expedition.
