In conformity with a resolution of the senate of the 2Sth of January, 1818, 1 communicate herewith, to the house of representatives, the report of the commissioners of the public buildings, required by that resolution. JAMES MONROE. November 23d, 1820. The message and report, having been rep.d, were ordered to lie on the table. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CON ST1TUTION. On motion of Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, the house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Ross, of Ohio, being called to the chair; and, on mo tion of Mr. Smith, also, proceeded to the consideration of the motion, sub mitted by him, proposing an amend- I ment to the constitution of the United States, as it concerns the election of electors of president and vice-president of the United States. The resolution having been read ? Mr. Smith, declining entering into any argument in support of the propo sition, on which his views had been fully expressed at the last session, said, he had called up the question at this early day, in the hope that an expression of the opinion of the house on the subject might be obtained this session. He ad ded a few other remarks. This house and the senate, he said, were not, he begged gentlemen to rer*ember, the last re?ort on this question. All that was asked of them was, to allow the question to be submitted to the people of the U. States, as represented in the several state legislatures, the consent of two- 1 thirds of whom were necessary to sanc tion the act. If two thirds of the people were in favor of the amendment, it ougnt to take place: if, on the other hand, they deemed the change inexpedient, they would say so, ?nd the proposition would of course fall to the ground. Mr. Oversireet, of South Carolina, moved to amend the following clause, by striking out the words therein which are printed in Italic: " The electors, when convened, at the time and place prescribed by law for the purpose of voting for president and vice- president of the Uuited States, shall finvc fiowtr, in case any of them shall fail to attend, to choose an elector, or electors, in place of him, or then), so failing lo attend." The object of Mr. C). was, that there should be a certain uniformity on this point, as well as in others embraced by the proposed amendment to the consti tution. After a few words in reply from Mr. Smith, the question was put on Mr. O's. motion, ami decidcd in the negative. The committee then rose, ''fend, with out further debate, reported the resolu- j tion without amendment. Mr. I'eid, of Georgia, then moved, j with a view to allow further time for re flection on the subject, to lay the re- I solve on the table; which motion was decided in the affirmative, by a vote of 67 to 64; and The resolve was laid on the table. Adjourned. Tuesday, NoTfmbcr 29.

States, as agent of the war and navy derail ments respectively, on warrants diau-w: by said departments on the treasurer a* such agent) designating the amount ci payments made under each h?*d oi ap propriation respectively, during the same period. Mr. Forrest offered the following re solution for consideration: Whereas it appears, by a report of the secretary of war, dated 12th of l'e bruaty, 1820, made in pursuance cf a resolution of the house of representa tives, that large loans of powder anil kad munitions of the United States, were made to private persons, by the oidnance department Therefore, K<*oh>td, That a select committee be appointed to inquire and repoi t to tlii* house by whom the said loans were made, and by what authority; why t!it* same wjs not reclaimed at the expira tion of the loan; what time ths said loans were reported to the head of de partment; and, if a loss should be sus tained, how far, and to whom, is the re sponsibility attached for sue h kss.
