on an attack on a niember of the House,
ovv addressing the Chair, coupled with
( barf'f' cf dtrert falsehood.
'i be Chair said he did not so under*
land the {];rntlcman.
Mr. Wrtpht said he would make way
or the f;i nt!eman from Virginia, to make
MIS disclaimer.
Mr. Katidolph stated, that he did say
what he had said, in reference to the
R« gister of Drbates. He had said, as he
iiated in a ncte in the National Intelli
gencer, tbhl the remarks in the Intelli*
irencer of what the irentlcman had said,
did not seem to him tu be as the [gentle
man had said them. The gerlleman
from Ohio could aye or no to wliat he
had said as to the charge of sending his
rcmaks to the paper.
Mr. Wright said that he believed the
report which had been matle oi his re
marks, was correct to tbe letter and to
the word. Il was so as far as he knew.
He had not so lost siglit of his self res
pect as to give his remarks a different dl
l'ction to what was originally given to
them. He restated whal he had said,
( (.nfirming the r»-port as it appeared,
i'bere was consiiierablc ror.lusion about
—not in—the gentleman at the lin;e, so
ihat he could not distinctly bear bis re
ply. 'I'he gentleman iriwn \ iiginia—-he
begged pardon—the member liom \ ir-
ginia.
The speaker here called Mr. Vv’right
to order.
.Mr. I’eari.e stated that the gentleman
fiom Virginia had tised the word “ mem
ber,” in reference to the gen'lemun from
Obio.
The Speaker der^ired Mr. Wright to
procetd :
Mr. Wright res'imrd, and inquired
whether the gentleman from Ohio was
con>pelled to report the gentleman iVom
Virginia. He stated that be had set n a
report of a speech of the gentleman ftom
Virginia, piinted in a pamj)lilei form,
with notes appended to it, casting cen
sure upon oflicers ol the Cioveinmint.
He referred also to the declaration «il the
w hich Mr. Uamioli.li n bised to return a siu.dur
courtesy. If he (Mr. W •) was doomed to be
the evil genius of the frentleman trom V irginia,
it Wiis to be triiCcd to tliut circumstauct*. He
would not track the jfcntlenian in the House,
or out of it, for the ])urposc of offennjf insult
and personal violence, as he had i.een tollowed
by persons w ho stood high, and are supported
here. In this House, when the gentleman from
Virffinia cntt.is into discussion, he should al
ways he reatly to meet him, without having
recourse lo double intcndn or innuentlo.
Mr. IJandoijjh s.iid he had never v^ntten out
a speech. '1 he notes, he admitted, were not
delivered in the House, but the gentleniar
might again see them io7igt emtndutior. lie
came here on that day, after diinkinK long and
tleeph on his jiillow , and was callcu up by the
c\citeiiient prtjiluced hy the speech of tliat gen-
til mull near him. The gentleman would see,
ill tiie second edition, these notes in a very eii-
hirgeil form. ’1 here were some things omitted
in that report which he had said, ’liui'c was
something omitted which he had said about
Mr. JeH'erhon. A gentleman had asked him
why he omitted that, anil remindetl him of the
onilssion. He should insert this part in ihe
next edition. 'I'he gentleman from t)liio hud
said lie olieii listened to him w ith astonishment.
He dcclaritl his own inabilits to reply with
that kind of retort which the geiitleii.an of O-
hio excelled in. As lo the distinction between
gi iitleman and meinher, he referred to the re
ply of Horne 'I'ooUe to a hl.ickguaid who iold
him, on tlic hustings, that he would have all
the rabble with him, ut i.one of the gentlemen.
Mr. 'looke told him lu wjs liai)py to hear it
from so excellent an auinor.ty.
Mr. bpmgui. moved to l.iy the resolution and
imeiiilmiiits on the table ; which motion was
agreed to.

g» tit it n.an could explain.
Mr. Haiidolpb said that he did nol make
tbe allusion staled. He did nol say the
gi II.It It.an was lougiu-d duwii.
Mr. \\ light resumed. He was much
the junior (d tbe gt nih-niaii from \'irgin-
ia, both in bis poli'.icul and natural life.
I If bad read his ‘■peei hes, and he had
that the grrat powers of Europe sha
the disposition of bis Majesty
a good understanding on all the poi
which may lend to the preservauon ol
^The state of affairs in the eastern pari
of Europe has occasioned his Majesty
the deepest solicitude. .
For several years, a’strugglehas exist
ed between the Ottoman Porie, and the
inhabitants of the Grecian Isles and Pro
vinces, and this struggle has been marked,
on both sides, by excesses revolimg lo
humanil). -
During this struggle, the rights of neu
tral Slates, and the la.vs which regulate
the intercourse of civilized nations, have
been, frequently violated, and ihe com
merce of his Majesty’s subjects has been
exposeil to depiedations, aggt'av alec,
very often, by acts of violence and airoci-
^ His Majesty has ardently desired to put
a Slop to these calamities, and to avert
the dangers inseparable from such a slate
of hostilities—hostilities constituting the
only exception lo the general sluie ol
peace in Europe.
His Majesty having been earnestly
solicited b) the Greeks to interpose his
good oflices in order to cfl’ect a recon
ciliation with the Porte, took measures
It.r that purpose, at first in conjunction
with the Emperor of Uussiia, atid sub-
stquenily with the Emperor of Russia and
iht Kin^'^ of France.
His Majesty has commanded that co
pies of the jirotocol signed at St. Peters
burg on the 4ih of April by the Plenipo-
U'liiiaries ot llis^lajesty and ol the Lin-
peror of Russia, and of the treaty conclud-
etl lietween His Majesty anti tbe Coii: ts
cif France and Russia on ihe ClU .lui),
should be laid before you.
While measures were in truui to nb-
usiii tbe results contemphued by this
dif^rt from Navarin. The cause offiV*
Lordship’s departure from Greece has
not yet transpired; but It is surmised that
the intervention of the combined squad
rons may have rendered his Lordship’®
further services unnecessary lo ihe
Greeks.
The last number of the Western
Monthly Review, contains a descrip^io^
of the Reptiles of the Mississippi Valley^
and their venomous character. The Ue!
view mentions, in connection with ihia
subject, a most tragical occurrence,
more horrible, in the relation, thati the
ancient fiction o^Lnocoon. A family jusj
emigrated, inadvertently fixed their ca
bin on the shelving declivity of a ledge,
that proved a den of Rattlesnakes.
Warmed by the first fire on the heartU
of the cabin, the terrible reptiles issued
in numbers, into the room where ihc:
whole family slept. As happens in ihose
cases, some slept on the floor, and sonne
on beds. The reptiles spread in every
part of the room, and mounted on evert
bed. Children were stung in the arms
of their parents, and in each other’s arm?,
—Imagination dares not dwell on the
horrors of such a scene. Most of ih©
family were bitten to death ; and those
who esca)>ed, finding the whole cabin
occupied by those horrid tenants, his
sing and shaking their rallies, fled from
tbe Jouse by beating off the covering of
rooJ, and escaping in that direction.
Shoeing Death.—A physician in South-
borough, Ms. rcccived a letter on iho
7ih ult. oftering the body of the writer
for dissection, and informing him that
he would find it in a certain grove. On
searching the place, the body was indeed
found there. It appeared in evidence,
that he had drank about a quart and
half pint of rum at once, which produc-
reaty, a collision altogether i ^d insensibility and apoplexy, followed
by His Majesty has occurred between the j death in about 24 hours',

J'rt/ifs of Intcmperancc.—The last On-
ondaga Register, relates a shocking and
melancholy instance of death, by the use
of ardent spirits. Mr. Fountain of that
town, who had been long addictcd to
habits of intemperance, was induced, foi
the offer oforjf dollar^ to swallow aquartoi
whiskey. After taking this dram, he
was carried from the siore to his house,
where, after lying a short time in a sia!(
of insensibility, he expired.
South Sea Trade.—A letter from Vai
parai«o, published in some of the papers^
tates that our whalemen on that cgas:
outstrip all competilon j and the fanr-c o'.;
iheir enterprise extends to every isl?.t,d
from America to Japan, and from Nev.'
Zealand to the coast of Asia. There are
upwards of one hundred American whal?
ships constantly cruising West of Capi;
Horn ; and il is added, as a tribute to
our skill in the fishery, that most F,i;
glish ships are commanded by New
England sailors. The importance ol .s
trade employing 100 ships averaging ; •
tons, manned by thirty nr thirty five st;i
men, and carrying 2000 barrels each, may
be readily estimated.
It is a very singular fact, that within a
short time, the following distinguished
men have died almost instantaneously,
viz : W’illian P. Van Ness, and Thomas
.Addis Emmett, of New York ; Richurd
Stockton, of Princeton, New .Icrsey ; and
(Jovernt)r Clinton, at Albany. Mr. Pink-
ii» y, Mr. Harper, Mr. Stockton, and Mr.
Emmett, were practising lawyers, ot
the most rlistinguished talents in the pro
fession. Mr. Van Ness, and Govirncr
Clinton had both belonged to the bar, bu*
had left ibc practice for a good many
years Mr. Pinkney, Mr. Harper, ana
Mr. Emmett di»-d in term lime and
whilst laljoi ionslv engaged in ])rofession
al business, exce.ssive attention to which
probably conf ibuted to their sudden

In the House of Lords, after the rea

but lamented that the battle at Navarin
bad been ftjugbt.—Jvarl (irry consider

nay more,— a most unfortunale calamity.’
Ihe Maiquis of Lansrlowne declared
that then was no act of Admiral Cod-

delend than his conduct al Navarin : he
was satisfied that the Admiral was not
