act according to previous determi

correct, as well as the most conve

views of our Representatives on
schemes of national policy, we shall
seize every opportunity that may
offer to give them publicity.

member would continue to
peat his "motion until it should
obtain a more lavorable recep
tion by Hie House. The pro
tracted sessions of Congress,
(which, however, he thanked
God, could, take place only eve
ry other year',) he considered as
fraught with incalculable mis
chief. They excluded from the
public service an important and
valuable class of men.
Here the Speaker interpo
sed, and pronounced Jlr. R.'s
remarks to be out of order, in
asmuch as the House had refu
sed to consider the motion.
Mr. R. observed that he had
intended to conclude his obser
vations by making amotion; but
be should stand corrected.
Mr. Taylor then made a .mo
tion to alter the hour of meeting
to eleven o'clock A. M. and
supported his motion by a short
speech, in which he adverted to
the amount of business iii ar-
rear, and the injurious conse
quences of long sessions.
Mr. Randolph again rose, and
said, that he should take the li
berty which the gentleman from
jNew-York seemed so willing
to take himself, but to refuse to
others no uncommon case -
of making some observations on
an interdicted subject. Ho
should, in the selection of his
topics, pursue his own lights,

discernment, sagacity, experi

The bill for i revision of the
duties on imports (tariff bill so
called) travels slowly thro' the
House ot Representatives, and
meets with many obstructions
in its course of preparation for
a discussion of its general prin
ciple, which has is yet been on
ly incidentally debated. If the
bill passes the House of Repre
sentatives, as it probably will
we do not say certainly the
session will hardly germinate
belore the first ot June next.
At the opening of tJie Debate
yesterday, (22d,) the Vice-Pre
sident required that gentlemen
should confine themselves, in
debate, to the questioi actually '

on the 2 4th ult. after a laborious
session of about six weeks, du
ring which time sixty-two cases
were disposed of, leaving 117
still on thc docket, where they
are likely to remain, not till
doomsday? perhaps, but more
than probable during the natu
ral lives of many of the parties
concerned, counsel as well as
clients, unless the organization
of the Supreme Courtis materi
ally ehanged, which ippears to
be the wish of a portion of the
present Congress, if the appa
rently interminable liscussion
of the tariff bill, does hot defeat
that as well as several other im
portant measures in agitation.

' Rumor. k privie letter
from Paris, of Feb. 2d, pub

from the best source, says the
cause of liberty never ivas in
greater danger. The Allies
arc determined to piit it down
in the United States, is well as
in Europe and South America,

treacherous to the cause of free

and Austria subservient. Pre

MOST HORRIBLE:
Alexandria, March 24.
Capt. Hedges, of the brig Ran
ger, arrived here on Monday,
from Isle of: May, reports the
following horrible transaction:
He was informed, by the Cap
tain of a British vessel, who had
arrived at the Isle of May from
Madeira, that a few days pre
vious to his sailing, the schr.
Napoleon, was brought into the
latter place by a cutter, which
had ber.n snnt nut f. k
w..w a.ja. njt; u i - -
pose; the officers of the Napole-j
n having been cruelly murder
ed, by three of the crew who
were shipped at Savannah.
The particulars are these:-
One of the crew, being an active
fellow, was taken from before
the mast by the captain to re
lieve the mate, and received in
to the cabin, whorp bo rpr.
tained that there was a sum of
specie on board, which fact he
communicated to two other sai
lors (foreigners) who. formed
and executed their hellish de
signs to get the money, by stri
king the captain to "the , deck
(with the cook's axe,) whence
they carried him to the wind
lass and there chopped of his
head with the axe and threw him
overboard. The mate hearing
the struggle on deck, came up
to ascertain the cause, and soon
shared the same fate. The
cook was next taken from the
forecastle, his head also severed
from his body, and both thrown
overboard.
Another person jumped over
board and was drowned in pre
ference to being murdered. A
passenger, who was at the time
in the cabin, went to the com
panion way and begged the
crew to spare his life. They
asked if he would join? he con
sented, and his life was spared.
The mutineers then entered the
cabin, ransacked it, found li
quor, and soon became drunk.
V small bov was left at the
hclm and the passenger got on
deck.
The boy soon steered the ves
sel for the land, and when with
in a or 3 of a mile of it, the pas
senger lowered the boat, gained
the shore; and shortlv after the
vessel was taken, possession of
by the soldiers and carried into
Madeira, with all the murder -
crs. bv order ot the authon -
ties.

, Thc George toivn" Miracle."
The case of Mrs. Mattinsrlv, a
widow, sister of Thomas Car
berry, Esq. Mayor of the City;
of Washington, has drawn the ';

at:.,i
;n k:c i:-u i . .
in Lius timuiciiuu age, iiiut it IS l
well to give it as a piece of
news.
It is the first time, we I
believe, that the odour of Prince
Hohenlohe's sanctity has cross
ed the broad Atlantic; vet it is
by no means the first miracle
which he has wrought. Sevc
ral Irish cases have been attest
ed by priests and physicians
and so numerous were the ap
plications for his prayers, so im
portunate were nuns and others
lor his powerful intercession,
that he determined to do his
work by ivholesalei and fixed
upon a particular day in August
when he in German' was to of-
ler up prayers lor all the disea
sed Catholic petitioners in Ire
land. The result was that two
tolerably well attested cases of
cure were produced and pub
lished. The fame of Prince
Hohenlohe of Bamberg spread
farther and wider. Several wri
ters undertook to sift the sub
ject; and among others the re
doubtable editor of the .bmnuurg
Review. A physician, (Dr.
Crampton,) admits the facts, as
well as the influence of Prince
Hohenlohe: but denies the effi
cacy of his intercession ascri
bing the cuiea uiuueiy io me

miracle worker is said to be Di
ocesan Vicar of Bamberg, in
the 30th year of his age.
