the old leaven of Congress, to be able to
f do business unitedly with satisfaction.
To expedite the object,' we " have some
times almost wished wthat the members
lived in one great caravansera, instead of
being dispersed at a distance, from each
other- among thirty or forty boarding
houses, that they might per' force be more
m the society of each , other.' and: more
acquainted with each others feelings and
opinions, partialities, and prejudices.
P Early in the session, as it is, however,
two subjects of great importance, besides
those embraced in the Message of the.
Presidpnt have been already brought - to
the notice of the House of Representa
tives. The first of these js the question
involved in the bill tor the admission of
ed from hunting, laid his gun upon the

of age, who had been unwell. -:A young

I If any one will take ,the trouble of
looking into the treaties made by the U.
Stales with France, with the United Neth
erlands, with Sweden, with Great Brit
ain, with Russia, and with Spain, he will
find that the acceptance of commissions
from a foreign power, by the citizens or
subjects of either of the contracting par
. ties, to cruize against the citizens or sub
jects of the other, is by treaty, in each of
these cases, made Piracy. Dcm. Press.
Thev Morning Chronicle of Baltimore,
nccounts for the British Minister's wil
lingness to let us have the Floridas, upon
very different grounds from disinterested
good-wdl towards us. It contends that I
while the Spanish monarchy is crumbling
to pieces, different European nations are
anxious to obtain some of the fragments.
Thus, Russia is said to receive as an e
quivalent for her frigates, S00 miles of
Territory on the coast of California. G.
B. looks to, Cuba. Spain's ceding Flor
ida to us "would furnish England wittra
plausible pretext to demand the cession
of Cuba to herself." The Chronicle may
be right. Such a suspicion has sometimes
crossed our own brain ; and we' frankly
say this, that sooner than we should throw
Cuba into the lap of G. Britain, or than
she should have it, we would wait some
years for Florida. The last will be ours.:
No power under heaven can prevent it.
But Cuba need not fall into the arms of G.
Britain. There is some chance that the
womb of time may bring both Cuba free,
sovereign and independent a consum
mation we most devoutly wish for. Mr.
Rush says nothing about Cuba. We are
hot told, whether if we have Florida,
Great Britain is or is not to press Tor that
island. But politicians must have more
than general suspicions to act on. Enq.

Missouri jSIave Question. By whatever
name called, it yields, we believe, in the
importance, of its cnnsequences,to none
likely to tcdme before Congress. We
hope, being so, well understood, it will
be but little debated : and that what - is
said on the subject will be characterized
by that dignity and temper which ought
ever to characterize the deliberations of
the Congress of the United States.
The second subject is, that of the cir
culating medium, of the counhy, respect
ing which Mr. Pihkney has given - notice
of his intention'to introduce a bill. This
at least ensures to those who feel inter
ested in such an experiment, that it Avill
become a subject of consideration for
Congress, whether it is their power to re
lieve the pressure under which, since the
resumption of specie payments by the
banks, it is acknowledged the trade, and
industry of the country labor,: What are
the particular features of Mr. P's. plan, we
are not apprised ; but we understand, gen
erally, that it embraces an issue of gov
ernment paper, transferable by delivery,
and calculated to come in aid of specie,
and of paper equivalent to specie, to in
crease the quantity of circulating medium,
supposed now to be less than is necessa
ry for the purposes of trade and internal
intercourse. ' Nat. Int.
An armed ship supposedlo be a British

Freeman's Journal.
The United States' Ship Columbus, the
ship of the line built at Washington, dropt
down from the Navy Yard a few days ago ;
arid? notwithstanding the .time was, from
the lowness of the tides, unusually unfa
vorable for the attempt, she past the bar
at the mouth of the Eastern branch 'with
very little difficulty. She is to be towed
by the Steam Boat down to St. Mary's
river where her equipment for sea will be
completed. Had not the fear of deten
sion by the ice prevented, it is believed she
would have passed over the bar, and down
the river, with all her armament and stores ,
on board, water excepted. "
The Columbus is to be commanded, on
her first voyage, by Commodore Bain
bridge, who has arrived at the seat of go
vernment for the purpose of taking charge
of her. . Ib.
The President's Message reached New
York by the express from Washington (a
distance of 230 miles) in rather less than
eighteen hours. This is great despatch ;
and such as the government ougt to bea
hle to command for communication with
distant parts of the union, in all cases re
quiring rapid communication. Had such
despatch been used, on more than one
occasion during the late war, in the com
munication of orders,.very different results'
would, sometimes have taken place ; and
if the printers, in these hard times, can 'af
ford tp pay the cost of it, it is surely al
ways in the power of. the government to
command it. lb.
v We understand, says the Albany Gaz.
an order has been received; from" the
War Department, for the immediate
transport of some large cannon from the
depot of Gibbonsiille, a few miles north
of Albany, to our southern frontier. It
is rather unfortunate that the order should
have arrived so late, as, unless the river
should again open, the , transportation
from thence to N.; York, must be by land.

We understand that orders have reach
ed -tills post from Government, directing
that all the military forces in , garrison
here, be forthwith- removed, to Amelia
Island. From other movements of a
similar nature, in various ports of the Un
ion, we have little doubt that a decisive
blow will shortly be struck at the Flori

the latter is now in possion of the whole

The Missouri is extremely difficult of na

running generally parallel with the river.
The vast bodies of sand brought in by the
river Plata,' gives this character to the
