through the President, in relation to the

ntiair or ine ^reoie. ne e.xpressea nim?clf
satisfied with the fuiiucss of the refr
port, but complained that nothing tnore
had been done in the case by the President.
Nothing had vet been done, but j
the intention of sending n message on the !
? ^subject to our Minister in England had
keen expressed. It was the opinion of]
Mr. Calhoun that a vessel ought to have j
l>een despatched, with the lenst possible 1
delav, with a view of obtaining redress
for so glaring an outrage. Hd was grnti^
ded at learning that Croat Britain had
; determined to send a special minister to
. ' th.? country, and hrfped the Committee
on Foreign Relations would at once present
the case in its true relations to fhe 1
country and the world He then moved
to.refer the message and documents to the
Committee on Foreign Relations which1
was done.
Mr. Simmons moved that the committtce
on Manufactures be allowed to employ
a clerk. This motion gave rise to a
fctfajdr.ljPsL"*? -ii-'' *"**-'
debate on tho TnfifF and Free Trade
which lasted the remainder of the day,
i and in which the 'principal speakers were
.l/essrs Calhoun and Clay. Mr. Cnh
| houn objected to the employment of h
| clerk because the object was to collect in!
formation to he used for the purpose of
influencing Congress in favor of a ptoj
feeling Tariff. Mr. Clay contended that
free trade on a mnity of the imposts of
; the country had reduced the price of the
: great staple of the South lower than at
! anv time since the war; and he considi
ored this an experimental refutation of
the doctrine of free trade. Mr. Calhoun
replied that it was not free trade, hut the
distresses in Great Britain that reduced
1 the price of cotton. ?S\>uth Carolina and
J the whole country, he contended, are
more prosperous now than they were under
the tariff of 1828. As evidence of
this he referred to the price of negroes and
? ? - n : _ u:
J lands at the South, and tfte nnurisrmig
slate, of the manufactures at the North*
The motion to allow the committee to
employ a clerk, prevailed. Some of
those who voted for it were opposed to a
tariff for protection, hilt were willing to
' allow the committee a clerk because they
asked it.
Feb. 4 fh. Nothing important was
done to day. Mr. Benton offered a reso.
lutinn bottomed, he said, on a protest
which lie had seen, and which he read to
the Senate. From the remarks of members
contained in the report before us.
) the paper seems to have been a protest of a
draft of $40 drawn in favor of Mr. Benton
^ which he had protested because it
' was not paid in specie. His resolution
j instructs the committee on Finance to
i inquire into the kind of payments new
; offered bv the Government to its creditors;
j whether the Government paper is at a
discount, and whether any legislation is
j necessary to save the public creditors
I from loss, the constitution from violation
and the country from disgrace. Mr.
i Benton said he was not going to receive
for Jus dues from the Government the
; currency of lamp black and rags. Olh'
ers might submit to it, hut he would not.
In allusion to a promise of Mr. Mangum,
| the day before, to propose retrenchments
j in the expenses of Government, and, in
ihe first place, a reduction of the pay of
' members of G'oi.gross. Mr. Benton said
; he w s not going to have his pay re
f dured hy Whig measures which reduced

! After considerable excitement, and some
desultory conversation, the subject was
dropped for the present.
Air,. Clay's resolution came up, and a
i motion to lav it on (he table was lost, 13
to 31 3/r. King moved to strike out the
i elau.se providing for inquiry into the (listrihution
of refused shares among the other
states. Motion lost, 2(1 to 24. The
resolution then passed, 2"> to 23,

I the 9th.
House ok Represextatives,
From February 3d to February 7lh
inclusive, the time of the Mouse was
| mostly taken up with the resolutions to
censure Mr. Adams. After consuming
: some days in n defensive speech Mr. Ad|
a ins, on the 7th, intimated a willingness
to Jet the whole subject be laid on the table,
there to lie forever, if it was the wish
of the House. This he did in consequence
i of intimations that he was consuming too
much time. Ho had laid out the platform
which he proposed to occupy wwn nts defence,
but he was willing to forego his
right of proceeding if the Mouse prefered.
\lr. Dolts then moved that the whole
subject be laid on the (able, which was
done bv a vote of 105 to 93.
The state of the question ns to the
petition praying for the dissolution of the
Union then stood thus:
Before the question of privilege (now
| laid on the table) had been raised, a motion
bad l>oon made to lay on the table
the question of reception, which had been
decided in the affirmative; ami a gentle
: man from Tennessee (Mr. Turwoy) had
I moved a reconsideration of that vote.?
[ Before that question of reconsideration
had been decided, the intermediate question
of privilege had been raised ; w hich
being now disposed of?
The question recurred on the motion
to reconsider the vote by which the question
of recaption of the petition had been

the affirmative, 144 to 52.
The question then cumo up on a m'otioi
by Mr. .Afari wether to lay the questioi
of receiving" the petition to dissolve th<
j Union on the table. Mr. Msriwelho
| withdrew this motion. Then tlie questio?
; came up, in course, Will the petition b<
! received? On this question the prcviom
question was. ordered. The Yeas am
i Nays were then taken on the question o
receiving the petition to dissolve th;
Union, and the House determined not U
receive, hy a vote of 40 to 100. Tlx
| most if not all who voted to receive
! seemed to do so from the strange, not t<
j say childish conviction that Congress ii
j hound to receive any petition of whatovei
i character.
After this matter was disposed of, Peti
tions were called for. When itassachu
setts was railed in its place in the list o!
States, Mr. Adams said he had two mon
petitions to present fur dissolving the
Union, one from Xew York, and one frorr
Pennsylvania; but he would resciVc
them for a future time.
