Sir : We have the pleasure of informing' vou that, in the case ot Mr. Anderson vs. Dunn, (with the defeTTcc of w hich we had the honor to be charged in. the bc- lalt ot the Douse ot Representatives,) the Supreme Court us fully allirmed the power of the House tui Mm, to vindicate its ow- privileges, apainst every attack of vio lence or fraud necessarily tending to control the free- lorn or taint the purity ot .legislative deliberation. The interest, so jusMy manifested bv the House, in the issue of this importinl 'question, has induced us to com municate, without delay, the determination of the Court, in order that it may be known U the House before its iipproacbing Sepuration.

They find, however, that the employment of Mr. Delafield or some person in that capacitv, was iTTdfprnsablc- to the interests of the United States'; thht the compensation allowed Mr. Delafield ' was much less than the salary of an agent ; and that the allowance of such compensation iij not, in their opiiiion, impropcf or unreasonable,- The- committee respectfully' rlei''i.the IhHisrtUthe frtmrhr-ficts relative Wcrgto, Wflie message front the Executive Hepailmcntonthat suhiect. 1 he reDort vuiardered to-lie on the tables 1 MrxtfAf from the'eommittee ''of,WaVi' and Means, to v horn was referred the Senate's hill to amend the act, entitled " Ai act supplemen tary.to 4 An act entitled an.aet;.to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage,' passed the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninc'ty-nine," reported the same without amendincnt.JnjjUhe question le ing on otuerinir it to be read a third time Mr. .BaMu'trtj regarding It as conflictinsr with the sa- unary provisions ot the appraisement law, exf pressed his hope that.

Some time before the adjournment . . ' Mr. (Vay rose aud addi;ed the Ilotuc to the follow in' effect t ' , I rise to lubmit a mo'ion, which, if it should roncilhte the general concurrrnce of this Houses I nhuli lie extremely glad. I he presentjsessiou was commenced under jery tmptersanrinspices. In, the appointment of a picsiding officer of the 'House, the first manifestation was made of that unfortunate division of opinion which has been the peculiar characteristic of the session. The storm has. happily subsided ; and wc hare the great satisfaction to Itchold the ship of our confe deracy unim paired by its rage ; her hull, her riggtngr and her patriotic" crew completely fit for. a I002 aDd..Kb''OS,.yofjige, under the. Ut. spangled banner which proudly floats aloft. --The moral d" that agitating drains, .of which, for more than two years past our country has leen the theatre, is, thai, whilst our Federal Union is admirably fitted to accomplish nil the national purposes for which it was intended, there arc delicate subjects, exclusively apper taining to the several states, which cannot be touched but by them, without the greatest haz ard to the public tranquility. They resemble those secluded apartments in our resectivc domkils, which arc dedicated to family privacy, into which our nearest and best neighlwurs should not enter. Let us terminate the session by making the ofiicer the depository of our entire k conciliation, whose election firsi elicited our divisions, and who&e situation has been extremely arduous and-Vtifiiculi. For my part, I have great pleasure in teti ft ing to the assiduity impar tiality, ability, and promptitude, with wluh he has administered the duties ol the Chajr, since I was able to take ray scat. 1 move the follow ing resolution : lirh',lvnii That the thanks of this House be given to the Hon. J. V. l ATi.on,for the assidu ity, promptitude, and abiliiv, with which he has administered the duties of the chair. Mr. A'cUoji of Ya. who was temporally in the chair having stated the question Mr. Khcn said lie hoped tr is resolution would obtain an unanimous vote. He had been long a member of this house, and he had never seen the duties of the chair discharged more satisfactorily than by the picsem Speaker. Mr. Hardin said, that it was with great satis faction he should tote for this resolution, localise it met his entire approbation. To be candid, the Speaker had, in the discharge of the duties of the chair, far outgone his expectations ; and he would vote him the thanks proposed with a great deal of pleasure. The question was then taken on agreeing to the resolution, and decided in the affirmative, one negative voice only being heard. Some time after the Spf.akkr, having resum ed the chair, addressed the house as follows : Gentlemen of the House of R firesentativr : Deeply penetrated with a sense of the kind ness and liberality, which in terms, and from a source, the mos1 flitterimr, have dictated the recent expresMon of our approbation, I shall ever esteem it the highest reward of my public services. lithe duties of the Chair have been discharged in anv degree to your satisfaction, U attributable chiefly to those feelings of genero shy, which have covered my numerous enors, and which have rendered to purity of motive, the deference due to superior merit. My inexperi ence has been compensated by your prudent counsels,- and by a dignified deportment, which has seldom required., the interposUipi--of a pre siding officer.

The King of Prussia is daily expect ed to proceed with the two Fmperorslo Labach. 1 he Court (tazette yesterday published an ar ticle, cf which the following is a copy : THOfPAl', dec. 23. The three allied sovereigns have opened tbe conferences of Troppau by mutual explanations uvm the subject of the revolution at Naples. 'I hey have come to a unanimous conclusion that ,t this revolution was excited by fanauc sects, and jf put in execution by the soldiery, forgetful of their duty. The violent subversion of the legitimate power, which was the consequence of this revo lution, .and the arbitrary and anarchical system substituted in its stead, are not only in direct op position to the principles of law, morality, and the true happiness of mankind, but contrary to the principles which monarchs have so often and so loudly proclaimed, and which are necessary to the repose and tranquility of F.urope. Penetra ted with these truths', the sovereigns Wre with one accord come to a firm rcsolutibn to direct their united forces in reversing the present or der of things in the kingdom of Naples, and to induce the king so to modify th$. constitution of his states as to render it more? .compatible w ith the tme and stable interest of his people as well as with the tranquility of the Neighboring nations. y Animated with a desire to bring about this de termination in an amicable manner, the three so vereigns, the King of Ftanceand thePope, 'haver 1 written to the King of Naples, Inviting him to at tend the tonferencevhich is to be held at La bach. afVlEHKA, J IK. 5.

The greater part of the ministers from the great powers left Vienna on the 4th and 5th, for Labach. From the preparations at that place, it . would seem that the stay of the Austrian court would be of some lengt of time. The King of Prussif left Berlin on the 6th of January, for Labach, and would arrive oh the 18th. t r The new administrative organization of the ' Grand Duchy of Daden is adjourned indefinitely. The motives of this resolution of the Grand Duke are not made known. KUnXMBURC, 12th JAN. All eyes are fined on the proceedings about to take place at the Congress of labach.
