Cobb enquired of the chair wheth er the question ' could be divided so as to be taken seperately on each principle embraced in the amendments. Mr. Lowndes remarked, in substance, that it appeared to hirn there, would be . jnuch difficulty in coming to any conclu sion on these amendments in which the two Houses would concur ; that he thought therefore that It woujd be better to lay them aside until this ""'House had matured and finally acted on the bill now before it, for the admission of Missouri,, and , as-- certained how it was received by the Se--nate, &c. with this view he moved that the amendments be laid on the table. On this question tfee House;;divided, and the motion was negatived eyes 74, noes, 85. 1 ; v$;; v! ..' Mr. Culpepper, then after? some re marks to shew the propriety and neces sity of mutual concession and mutual for bearance on a question so important and delicate ; anil from the hope, that, by act- ing conclusively on the bill now before the House and sending it to the Senate, all difficulty would be gotten oyer, &c. moved that the amendments be post poned until to-morrow. This motion was opposed by Mr. Jlolmes, and Mr. Whitman, who were averse to delaying a final ' decision on these amendments with which the ad mission of Maine , was -connected, and which they wished to separate from it as promptly as possible.

The day before yes terday 2000 men entered the Isla, and at 'the bridge, the Marine Guards attempted to oppose their entrance. j"The result was that thefcommander of the guards, and the centinel were shot1 by the approach ing troops. On their entering the town they disarmed the Marine Guards, took the captain general of marines prisoner, & proceeded for this place ; but the ships of war in the the bay having learnt what had taken place-at Isla, sent about 400 Marine soldiers and officers to the " Corta Dura," who on the approach of the In surgents, fired on them from the Fort and killed about 13 on the spot; i j L I The troops then retired to the Isla, and then the commander (a colonel) issued a proclamation styling themselves the advance guard of the Constitutional army." Other' commanders . it is said have gone with their respective divisions, which consist of the whole of the army of the expedition to different, departments of the kingdom, and that the , plot is of magnitude there is no doubt.

MISSOURI QUESTION. I can have no objections to the Com mercial Advertiser giving to his readers whatever the Editors may possess or im magine on the Missouri a Question bdt. . when they undei take to write, or have letters written from Washington, gravely telling us that the Union is to be divided M one or the other side is defeated, I not but ridicule, such unfounded intfma tionThere is.-. too icoich zeal 'on both sides of tfiis questioh and , parties are arraying themselves most formidably, and in our mind" molt dangerously; and knaves, rank knaves are at work, who care not straw, conscientiously for the issue, uu i ei uie uiuvyiii g me emoers and fanning the' tlames of discord. There is a vital point connected with this subject it is the integrity of-our constitution' which nothing should bend or impair, or mould to meet any particular exigency: 1 1 do not believe that Congress possess a con stitutional right to shackle the sovereign ty of any State : I do not believe that Congress possess the right of prescribing termsarid conditions to the admission ot any Slate in the Union ; I do not beiievel that Congress has a right to deny privile-1 ges to one State which another possesses; 1 and therefore, without regard to the cb-1 ject, which is of miner, importance, I think that Missot ri is entitled to admis- "i sion in the V nion on the same terms en joyed bybtherStates. Nat. Adv. ' A war has broke out against the Eve ning .Post ; the National Intelligencer and Richmond Enquirer being allies the sub ject is the Missouri Question. We say, confine the subject to its constitutionality alone ; as extraneous reflections, as to which state fought best during the late war, has an awkward appearance in the Post. These wanderings bewilder the imagination no one ever doubted the patriotism of V lrgirna- -it is too late to Ibid. question it. Vv e occasionally perceive letters in Mr. Dwight'sand Lewis's papers, said to be from Washington, and on the sub ject of Missouri. ( Oiie of. these letters gravely tells us, that Mr. King's speecii as given great offence tb Mr. Pinks fy; and further, that " They say without much hesitation, that this matter will lead to a separation of the U. States." Pshaw We are sick of these busy meddling pop injays of politicians, and wonder , at t the assurance ofthe Secretary of? the Har ford Cnvention talking of dividing the Union on a constitutional question. There are many sincere and woithy citizens conscientiously opposed to the admission of Missouri without restriction, ana" there are many knaves who cover their designs with the mantle of charity and philan thropy rank knaves , who would have sold their country in the hour of distress who now seize upon this question to tor ture and worry, something, out of it bene ficial to themselves. Wemake no prc fessions of abhorrence to slavery it is needless : but we hope that Missouri will be admitted without the least restriction, if it shall be ascertained that Congres has no power to impose ar.y. Ibid. .CtlARLESTON, FEBRUARY 21. FIRE .'Another cttcmpt to fire om city, was made on Sunday morning last, . about 4 o'clock. The, alarm proceeded from the Cabinet Ware Rooms of Mr. Wm. R.
