Johnson, New-York,' presented an amen ment; which he proposes to move to the bill reported by:, the -Com mittee of Ways and .weans, for re gulating Sales at Auction, when it comes up for consideration This amendment, proposes two ana a nan per cent, amy on pac ages sales, and five per cent, dq ty on piece sales. . . j In the last number Oi the IN a tional Intelligencer it was 6ta,ted that the Report on the Auction Question, and the accompanying bill, Irom.the Committee of Ways and Aeahs, in the -House ofRo- presentatives were in conformity with the unanimous opinion of the whole Committee. This infer ence from' the report of the Com mittee is, we are informed, in part. erroneous. On the details of the bill, and .especially the. first (sec tion, requiring the production of invoices, wp now; understand, the views ot the several members differed widely. 'Nat.. Int. . : - ., r January 15rii. The House of Representatives yesterday nad under consideration a subject of much indirect mterest to our City, and of eeneral interest to the whole country. -lyroe rmia Western direction trora WaShfriE ton. There -can be no .object of Injternal improvement more . de serving of the. favor of Congress, whether with a view to the facili tation of access to the! seat of the General Government, er to the transportation of the Jlails, than the road .between Rockville and Fredericktown, which is at all times bad, and during a considera ble part of jthe year dangerous. There ia not perhaps ia tUo Uci- ted States a wors piece of road than the vone in qustion, " or one more liable to . be rendered unpas- sable byr the weather. This ; de- iect ol a iinK in the great cnam oi post road from this city to all the Westero States, has long been se verely felt- by the whole country, without its bemg-of such a nature as to demand the employment of private means to suppply it; for the reason, principally, that the turnpike road to Baltimore fur nishes a ready ivay to market for those ' -Maryland fawners, well-to do in the world, who wonld ether- wise feel it to be their interest tcU contribute i the construction of a road . direct to Washington. Of little comparative importance to the country through which it pas ses, (like the Delaware, and Ches apeake Canal) It is yet of primary consequence to the. interests of the whole country. It has so mach ; the stronger .claim to the patronage of the General Govern mentjhan the Canal in question, in that it combines a greater num ber of advantages than that object, interesting1 and worthy of the aid of Government as we have al- waj s admitted that Canal to be, as a part of a general system of internal navigation. . iota. The decission upon the bill for the Frederick Road was postpon ed to -Holiday, with the consent of its zealous advocate, Mr. JV'isI itigton. We see little reason to doubt that it will ultimately re- receive the .sanction of Congress, when its merits are fully under stood. .' Ibid, d i January 17. The Senate did not sit .yesterday. In the House, of Representa tives; s Mr. McDufEe, from the Committee of Ways, and Means; reported a bill to exempt mer chandize imported under certain circumstances from the operation of the law passed J 5th May, 1828, known as the new Tariff Bill. It was, after passing through vari ous stages, referred to a Commit tee of the Whole House on the state of the Union. Bills - were reported fr&m the Select Com mittee on;Retrenchment; )by Mr. Wickliffe, regulating the j publish ing of acts , of Congress,' iand by Mr. Hamilton, the Chairman, pr "scrifiing the mode of printing and distributing various public docu ments'. They were severally read a first and second timeand referred to a Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union.' Mr. Alexander introdu ced a bill to exempt the members of the iFire Companies of Wash ington Georgetown and. Alexan dria, from the performance of mil itary duties in time of peace. It was read a first and second time, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Mr. Strong, from the Select Committee to whom the stereotyping of the laws of the United States had been referred, reported a joint resolution with the Senate, in favor of that mea sure, ana recommending the mode of carrying it into execu tion. The resolution submitted on the " preceding day by Mr. ickline, providing for the elec tion of all officers of the House by a viva voce vote, instead of by ballot, as heretofore; was then considered. , Mr. Storrs demand ed the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and a discussion ensued, which continued until the hour elapsed for the consideration of I resolutions, previous to which, Mr. Weeras offered an amend ment, slightly modifying the pro position ofvUr Wickliffe. The House then went into a Commit tee of the Whole, Mr. Condict in the Chair; and after a long debate, the amendment proposed by Mr Thompson was rejected by 74 to 66. Mr. Thompson renewed his amendment . in the House. After which, at 4 o'clock, and ad journment took place. Uf & lei. NEWS FROM EUROPE. i New York, Jan., 16. After a long interval, we were yesterday afternoon overrun with papers but they" are sin gularly barren of that sort of inte rest which our exciteable commu nity seems alone to look for that derived from actual war or appre hended -scarcity. As things remain very much as.theyj' scarcity, t- as to war A A were, no important movement I has been made by the Russians! M. since the fall of Varqa they ap- as iroiii ine genera complexion ot amounts r,nara tn ur cif down quietly before Choumla, and ; ri - ..f 1 await a more favorable season for military operations. ".Meantime the ! diplomacy of Europe will Jas' at work to brv5g about a rpeace.

In other words, the Rius sians aremore exhahstedby. get ting the victory, such as it is,' than the Turks are by losing the battle. Our own opinion has been already expressed, that, the Winter will be a season oT active negotiation; and that Europe will be enjoying per fect pacification, at least, in the Northeastern quarters, before the; return of the next spring." '.. 1'ho Travefler'of the 2d De cember speaks in i he same strain.

Money had become ,-. universally , scarce at St. Petersburgh, and there aswell as here,: discounts were scarcely, to-be obtained.". As to the apprehended scarcity, we see no reason to think the cal culations which, to judge from the prices paid here for bread stuffs, appear to have been made, will be realizedthe duty on. foVeign wheat having been reduced by the rise of the average price to one shilling per quarter, pinch foreign wheat in bond was immediately entered. "A We havevbeen favored with the perusal oflettefs firom,roerchants in New Vork to their Correspondents here, extracts from some, of which will be found under ther commpr cial head. It will be seen from them, that the English ports have been opened for the admission of foreign grain, and that. cotton had declined 1 -2d. per pound.

Aboutmne o'clock some of the neighbors discovered the house on fire; but before they were enabled ? to reach t he place, it was lit rally Tjurnt to ashes. The'roasted carcascsbf the unfor tunafe children three boys and a girl, were lound the same night. three of them were lyiug on their backs, as if they had not awoke, and the other, from the situation in which it was found, had proba blygot from the bed.
