FROM recent <lis.covfr.es anrl f;<qitent

distressed villages whose all had been swept
awny by some sad catastrophe, or to remune

tl.e ocean. 'I housands of dollars have heen
collected in this way from the charitable a*id

Was a base fabric, at ion, goi up, supported by
forg*n and fraud, and the proceeds solely ap 1
phed to and divided amongst a lar^r j;ang of |

that can be relied on, they have a rendezvous
i- litis city, from which they issue in their de- .
pi i tlatory excursions, and aft* r bcug absent
from three to twelve m.ipths, ami sometimes 1

The houte then revived itself into a
committ? e of the wholes Mr. Nelson, of
Virginia, in the fchu'y, on the resolution
declaring the admission pf Missouri in
to the Union on an equal footing with
the othir states of tTie Union. And the
question having been a<;ain slated?
Mr. Sergeant rose, and in a speech
which occupied upwards of two hours,
opposed the resolution. When,

lution of the holism of representatives
of itie 28th ultimo, sund.y statements,
shewing the'amquntof moot ys drawn

war and navy departments, during the

Mi. Foot moved for the considera
tion of a proposition submitted by him
a few days ago, respecting the discipline
of the navy; but the house refused now
to consider it.
MISSOURI.
I The house the:. agaiL resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, Mr. Hill
in the chair, on the, resolution iU- daring
the admission of Missouri into the
Union on tin equal footing with the ori
ginal sia'ts.
M. . Smrrs, of New Yoik, in a speech
of aoout on hour's length, assigned the
I reasons which would induce him to vote
I against i he resolution.
Mr. P. Barbour, of Virginia, in a
speech of somewhat greater length, de
fended the resolution, and vindicated the
right of Mis.-ourrto the form of admis
sion into the Union.
When Mr. Barbour concluded, there
seemed not to be a disposition in any
person to rise. .
Mr. Smyth, of Virginia, said that he
wished to present his* views on the sub
ject, but was not prepared to do so this
afternoon. He therefore a*ked thai the
committee should rise, and ask leave to
?
sit again. ?
The commiUee, however, refused to
rise.
Mr. Archer, of Virginia said, that he,
too, wished to address the house on this
question, but was prevented fcom doing
so to-day by bodily indisposition.
Another motion for the committee to
rise was negatived.
At length, however, after one or two^
more refusals, the committee rose and
reported the resolution to the house;
and, after several ineffectual attempts,
a motion at length prevailed to lay it on
the table.
And the house adjourned.
Saturday, l)ecember 9.
Among the petitions presented to
day, was one by Mr. W end over, from
the Mercantile Society of the city of
New York, praying for an imposition
of a duty ol 10 per cent, on sales at auc
tion; also for the establishment of an
uniform system of Bankruptcy; and for
such a modification of the tariff of duties
on imports, as is demanded by the best
intere sts of the nation.
On motion of Mr. Cocke, it was
Hrso/vrdy That the secretary of war
be directed to communicate to this
house any information he may possess,
tending to shew whether the order given
by col. King, of the 4th regiment of in
fantry, to shoot deserters taken in the
act, was approved by any general officer
in the service of the United States; or
known to, and passed over in silence by
him, as stated in the defence of said col.
king before a court martial, silting in
the state of Alabama, in the year 18 19;
and also any information he may pos
sess, shewing that corporal punishment
has been inflicted on any soldier, where
by he caine to his death; and, it any, by
whose order it was inflicted, and what
measures have been taken ralauvc
thereto.
On motioa of Mr. Whitman, it Was
Resotved, That the committee on th?
public lands be instructed to inquire
into the ex^diency of extending tho
timet for issuing land warrants to sol
diers of the revolution, and for locating
the same.
On motion of Mr. Rankin, it was
Reiolved, That the committee on
commerce be instructed to inquire into
the expediency of establishing a port o1"
entry at the mouth of Pearl river, in the
slate of Mississippi.
sThe speaker laid before the house a
letter from the secretary of the treasury,
transmitting* in obedience to a resolu
tion of the house of the 5th instant, tho
latest return made to the treasury de
partment, of the general state of the
Bank of the United States and its offi
cers; which letter was read, and, with
, the statement, ordered to be printed.
MISSOURI.
The house having resumed the con
sideration of the resolve cict laring the
admission of the state of Missouri into
the. Union?
A. Smyth, of Virginia, delivered
a speech of two hours' length In sup -
port of it, and Mr. Strong, of N. York,
a speech of one hours' length against it.
When*, on motion of Mr. Nelson, of
r Virginia,
The hous.- adjourned.
? ? Monday, December 1
.Williams, of N. C. made a re
port on the petition of the owners of
v assets sunk in the haibourof Baltimore
to prevent the approach of the British
ships in 1814, accompanied by a bill for
their relief; which was twice read and
committed.
On motion of Mr. Butler, of New
Hampshire, it was
Rcsolvrd , That the committee on the
post office and post roads be instructed
to inquire into the expediency of pro
viding by law for prohibiting printers
and editors of newspapers, and ail other
persons who are proprietors of any such
printing establishment, or in any way
concerned in the publication of iKwspa.
pers from being mail contractor* or
postmasters; and, also, prohibiting post
masters from being mail contractors, or
being employed in conveyance of the
mail.
On motion of Mr. Baldwin, it was
Rttolvcdtv That the secretary of sta'p
be required tfl communicate to thi^
bouse any information which may have
been receiv d by that department, touch
ing any alterations in the commercial
laws or regulations of any of the nations
of Europe, which may have been made
or adopted since the year 1817.
On motion of Mr. Johnson, it was
Rrso/vedy That the committee on tlip
judiciary be instructed to inquire int.>
the expediency of amending the 11th
section of the act, entitled ?' An act for
regulating process in the courts of the
United States and providing compcnsa
tions for officers of the said courts an'
for jurors and witnesses providing for
the removal of suits and actions in cer
tain cases."
? The house resumed the consideration
of the resolution declaring the admissio:
of the stale of Missouri into the Union.
Mr. Archer, of Virginia, delivered at
some length his views of this subject,
and the reasons why he was in favour oi
the passage of the resolution.
When he concluded ?
Mr. Hill, of Massachusetts, movrd an
amendment, qualifying the assent to thi
admission of the new state into th*
Union by an exception of a particular
clausc of the constitution. This motion,
however,"was withdrawn by Mr. Hill fur
the prs. nt, on the representation o!
Mr. Lowndes, that it would embarrass
the main debate, by bringing on an in
cidcntal one, and would deprive him o
the opportunity of replying to some oh
jections he had not anticipated, and t<>
others arising from a misapprehension
or evasion of his first arguments in sup
port of the resolution.
Mr. Baldwin then moved to striki
out the preamble to the resolve.
Mr. Lowndes assigned briefly th<
reasons why, on more mature reflection
he should assent to this course, though
he had at first preferred the other.
The question being taken on striking
out the preamble, was decided in thr
affirmative, 87 to 65.
Mr. Hemphill, of Pennsylvania, deli
vered, at Considerable length, his semi
menu in hostility to the resolution fo.
the admission of Missouri as now con
stituted ?
And the house adjourned.
Tuesday, December 12.
It was moved to instruct the commil
tee on commerce to inquire into the ex ?
pediency of providing that exports i, -
