The House proceeded with the business of the day by calling for reports from committees. A report of the committee on public printing was made, and a joint resolution read granting relief to a certain extent, to (Jeo. 1j. Belt. An objection being made to receiving the report, by Mr Hurt, of South Carolina, the SpeaKcr ruled in favor of the committees reporting at any f imn wrifli fofomnnn t/iflwi ciiKwi/<i i?n.

The report of the committee was bv bill, granting relief to Thomas Ritchie, on the contract for public printing, which was read a first and second time. Mr. Urr, of south Carolina, opposed the passage of the hill, and commenced !>y saying that the claim of Mr. Ritchie, had not a particle of justice to entitle it to the favorable consideration of the Ilonse. He then entered into an explanation of his own conduct, on a former occasion which he said had become a subject of controversy between the i uiT. ^ IT. i: -vjiuuti tiiKi umuu. rie disavowed all hostility against Mr. Ritchie, in whose favor, he said, his feelings were enlisted when the investigation of his claim commenced ; and proceeded at length to examine and comment upon the claim of Mr. Ritchie; he recapitulated the large sums which tho country would be n'lllnrl tmnn t/\ nil ? ilin Lill /\/i i V/UIIV/U ll|JV/ll IW |II IIIV/ I/Ill I IC7V4 was adopted, and wont into various particulars to which it would be impossible here to allude. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, cited several instances in which Mr. Hnmilton charges more then Mr. Ritchie receives. Mr. Morehead, of Kentucky, followed, an:l defo <lr?r 1 llmr.lnini nf Afr. Ritchie; ho contended that he was entitled to relief under a contract, the fulfilment of which would involve him iu entire ruin; and he insisted that such relief was not so much called for by the magnanimity and liheiality of the House us by a sense of justice. Mr. Burt said it was not so much his intention to discuss tHa bill as to move an amendment, ile was satisfied that the House was di: posed to to tract ; but it was first necessarv he should prove that such loss had been sustained. He moved as an amendment, tliat the renm* Jtrrecommitted and that the committee report whether Mr. ftitchie had satisfactorily performed the public printing, and to what extent he had lost by the contract. Mr. McLane, of Maryland, spoke at length in favor of the application of Mr.lRitchic. Mr. Orr explained with reference 10 imp Movmnon jrom me eoniiact, upon which so much reliance had been placed. He said $12,500 had been paid 1o the contractor for the opinions of the Supreme Court, being aoout $10,000 more than that to which he was entitled. A motion failed for the previous question. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, spoke for some time in opposition to the clain that had been preferred, and expressed his conviction that the object vvnicn us aavocaies had in view was to break down the contract system, and ultimately increase enormously the rate of charging for public printing A motion to adjourn was made and carried at half past three o'clock.

They have been declared forever Jwcapable of holding property, of whatever description. 1< or seven long months they have languished in loathsome dungeons. There they lie, herding with bandits, felons, and brigands; and day after day the prospect 01 ineir noeriuioii, so mr Iron) becoming brighter, grows only darker and more hopeless. There they lie, those noble gentlemen, weary of life, and sick of this most base world, with no spot, or stain, or blemish on their reputation save the sin of having struck for liberty. The government will not release them, for the dissemination of republican sentiments is fatal to its very existence. Neither can it exile them, for no country in Europe will harbor such propagandists. Now, what has been done for them ? Why Mr. Cass, your Minister, has uronoscd to the i Papal authorities to send them to California, hiiwsc.lf engaging to pay three thoiifmncj for their expenses in a French ship, which will leave Bordeaux for that destination in the month of February. The Cardinals have accepted this proposal, agreeing to liberate these gentlemen mnn (lnuc nrini* tn llio rlonni'tnro r?f the vessel in question, which a fib ids them sufficient time to reach that seaport. Honor to your Minister and to the glorious land from which he comes! His conduct has dieted deep admiration; and well it may. If you have more of his breed, send them, I pray you, to Naples, Vienna, and Milan, in Ihe dungeons of which, the desolate champions of liberty, aban doned, in manacles, and bowed down to earth, are praying for death as for a release."
