HOUSE OF TIEPRKSENTATIVES. IMoNDAY, Feb. 21" Mr. Ingham, from a select commit tee, to whom jwas j referred the Presi dent's niessage on that subject, made a report ob the claims of the President, accompanied by sundry documents ; which were laid on the table, and with the documents ordered to be printed. : fThe renort , nresents " documents without the expression of any opinion by the committee j ' Mr. Ingham" also presented sundry d octi tn e nts, shew i ng t h e ti isbu rsemen ts of the furniture fund. Mr. I. moved that a schedule of them be printed. On motion "of My. Storrs, the whole were ordered to be printed. ; " Mr. ( 'all from a select committee, reported a bill granting a certain quan tity of land to the Slate of Indiana, for the purpose of i aiding in opening a ca nal to counectj the j waters of the Wa bash with those VfiLake Erie 5 which was twice read, and committed. An engrossd bill to extend the riglit of deposite in ! public or ' other store houses, on certain conditions, and with certain pmiTcgs to other gonds, besides Wines, Teas and distilled spirits, was read a third time. And the question oeing, ''bhall it pass r" - Mr. McKim,!.of -Md. explained the provisions of th bill 5 it had been ilrawn gnder the immediate eyC of ;he Comp troller of the Tteasuryi and could not be expected to have, the sanction of that Deptrtmcnt, if it' injured the pre sent system of duties. It was bad po licy to tax goods Which- only touched at tins country on their way ,;to another nnd were not'to be;cousumed here. Mr. Wrinht isnoke in onnosition to the bill : if it went! the whole length of the British wak'-bousinc : system, he would vote for it ; but this tvould re quire an abolition oif all credits at the custom House.1 He moved to lay the bill on the table. . I T The motion to lay the bill on the ta ble was negatived Avcs 74; Noes 88. Mr. Livingston of Lou. spoke in sup port of the bill, j He stated the. present provisions of the revenue laws in res pect to credits on duties and the allow ance of drawback ; ami the alteration proposed by the bill, and urged its bene ficial effect on j the commerce of the country. It enabled the merchant to make larger; imporlafionsgave hnn time, and enabled him better to assort lis cargo (peculiarly calculated for tlie South American trade.) The draw back had had the happiest effect, and this bill would increase its benefits. - He explained the operation uT the l!ri- tish warehousing system, and the be neficial effects which bad followed it. It took oft a burden from transit trade its principle was just,, its duties were intended to be pauj only on goods con sumed within the country : and the goods anectetl by the bill were not so consumed. The true principles of commerce went to make our ports em poriums of all sorts of . commodities.- He denied thel danger of fraud to be be very great,; the guards against it were sufficient, and the danger was no thing in comparison to the benefits. lr. P. P.

VVhy, if just, has it not been paid like o:her claims? As far as he was concert ied, as a member from the state, he she u Id only ask for justice. He wished for noining ejse, neiuier now nor hereafter. He hopet under an the present motion was made expectation that the com m it report a bill for the immedi tee would ate payment of whatever was found justly due.l He thought the state: had a ngnttoj expect mis ; ana it it coma not be obtained, without the aid of a law, he did hope, most earnestly, lliat a proper fcjill would be at once reported. It was tirrie, he thought, high time, that justice should be done to the states concerned , somewhere. And if a law. were necessary, he hoped it would pass without ft rther delay, : so far at Ieas as to provide for paying what seemed ad mitted to pe due. - 1 The motion to refer the message pre vaiieu.

It was attejnded by an audience of high respectability. Several of the Judges of the Sup eme Court were present, ' jas well as eminent members of the Bar, and many i f the Reverend Clergy. TJie number of Ladies, I too, who animated the proce(;dings of the meeeting by their presppce and their smiles, we were pUasetl to notice, was greater than usual. 'The venerable Lafayette (evjer true to: thel, causeOf freedom, in all its forms,) honored the Society by his at tendance, j The Chair was taken about half past seven, by Wm. H.

' Thisdoclument, which is of conside able lehgthj, presents, -upon the-wholj?, an encouraging view of thel state of tliis great and interesting enterprize.

Some evils! as might have been expect- el,7were foind to exist there ; but these have been greatly mitigated if not whoj ly removed. 'I he arrival of the new colonists, w no saiieu irom mis count early lin thejyear, produced the livel est toy. The town of Monrovia is ii creasing with rapidity ; its defences are complete, and its inhabitants, fur the most part, are contented and hapl py. The Society's attempts at home!, toward an augmentation of its fund, have not yel met with that success thej so well deserve -but the Directors arp auimated with a determination to , per severe in their laudable efforts until they shall have succeeded in rendering the u nd er taking an object of national en terp prize.
