The amendment as amended was then discussed at considerable length, he- In ing advocated bv Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, th and Messrs.

Messrs.

This turned the flank of the'Whig'line, and after an effort of Mr Clay, of-K'-ntoclcy, !r to destroy it by an amendment, which the 10 Chair declared to be out of order, it was -adopted, and the amendment as amended ''J was agreed'to.

About two mrlcs off the land how ever, at the uouthofthe river, he discovered the Jane, snugly lying at anchor, and doubtless thought it prudent to board her for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the navigation of the river, the facilities for procuring supplies, and the disposition of the 'inhabitants towards strangers of quality. He, accordingly, without even disturbing the watch on decW, wenfquietly on board in the course of the night, probably through the rudder hole, and like a very quiet and and peaceable snak ejjtioiiatked on the quarterdeck, for the remainder of the night, where to the great surprise of all on board, he was discovered in the mdfriing before he had finished his nap, with histoids arranged in a beautiful coil. . .
