The Raanlation directing the Clerk of tin
House to prepare a statement of the sums chargee
l«y and paid to each member of the House am
Senate,during the present and last session, foi
mileage,'W as taken up for continued considers
tion, together with the amendments thereto other
ed by Mr. Claiborne and Mr. Yell.
Mr. UNDERWOOD who was entitled to thr
floor, (poke briefly in explanation of some formei
remarks, ami in order to arrest the debate which
be said had been ut.ncccsariily protracted be
moved the previous question ; lost.
Mr. UNDERWOOD said, as it was the man
ifest disposition of the House to hesr more on
the subject, he would resume his remarks. He
was confident that the more the House considered
the question, the stronger would be their convic
tion of the necessity ot adopting the resolution.
The information would throw much ligat upon
the mileage bill, which, in a few days would be
come the subject of consideration. He went to
apeak in opposition to the amendments, as calcu
lated to embarrass the resolution, and as asserting
untenable doctrines. Ho thought lha practice of
members of Congress attending to cases before
the Supreme Court ought to be sanctioned and
encouraged rather than suppressed. It was a prac
tice relating to theJSutcs and the people ot the
States.
Mr. BELL moved that the resolution and a
naen Intents be laid on the table ; agreed to with
out a courts.
FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS.
Mr. BELL rose in pursuance ot previous no
tice, to olfer a motion of leave to introduce u bill
to secure the freedom ol elections.
Mr. VAN DBRPOOL asked if the motion for
leave was dcbatcablc.
Tito Speaker said it was.
Mr. BELL requested bis bill to bo read from
tire Chair, an objection was made but the motion
was agreed to.
Tito bill was then read.
Mr. BELL said he had no puipose of party to
serve in the introduction of this bill. He wished
solemnly to appeal to I lisa House and to t ;c coun
try for the correction of the evils which tho Pre
amble of the bill set forth. He was aware of the
recpousibility he had assumed in olll’iiiig u bill
implying charges of such grave character, and
hero be would state that be pledged himself upon
his honor to prove and maintain betore any jury
in this counity all and each of Ibu charges ex
pressed or implied in tho Preamble, moreover he
challenged gentlemen to contradict any one of
those charges.
He was ready now to go into the investigation.
He knew the responsibility which must attach
to any gentleman who undertook to prove such
charges; the little countenance he would gel from
sny quarter, and the intrinsic difficulty ol obtain
ing positive proof.—But, though impressed with
all those convictions, ho reaffirmed mid reasserted
the truth of all his allegations.
He would bring forwoid tint highest evidence
of which the nature of the case would admit, to
sustain charges ol the corrupt Interference on the
part of the officers of tho Fedoiol Government
in tho late elections, pending the Presidential
canvass.
Mr. VANDERPOBL moved that the order of
the day be taken up; agreed to.

There appears to he no political news ol inter

istarial rumor. The commercial intelligence is.
interesting, as will be aeon by the following ex
tracts :

It being now pretty well ascertained that the
discussiuiis which have been in pi ogress in the
bank parlour for some days past, upon the point
wf completing the arrangements consequent upon
Accommodation to a large banking establishment
in the country, have been brought to a conclusion,
there are no grounds for tho apprehension still
expressed in some quarters, of a renewal of the
demand for money here or in the manufacturing
districts. The knowledge of tho fact that the
Dank of England at their meeting to-day have
completed the arrangements gave satisfaction in
tho city, and it had sonic slight influence upon
tho value of slock. A greater degree of confidence
was apparent among the commercial interests on
change this afternoon, but wo cannot quote any
material increase in the demand for goods. An
insurance was opened to-day at Ltyod's on bu!
lion from the United Sta'ce, a clear indication
that specie will shortly flow back again to this
tountry front tho other side of the ailanlic.

SPAIN.
The advices from Madrid ate to the 14th, and
to u Billioa to U;v 16th. The accounts are eon
w tradiclory. Tho Morning Chronicle of the 23d
contained a despatch from Paris, announcing that
Espartero had fallen back on Poitugaletle, on the
m Iftilt, without effecting any thing lor the rebel ol
te the besieged, much to the indignation of the Lng
se lisll officers; while, on the other hand, a Boi
>e dcaux paper of the IRlh alleges that the aiegc was
raised on the 13th, and that Espartero marched
into the place on the next day.—'lhc Paris ac
count is most recent, and we apprehend most
jo probable.
;d Gomez was said to have strived on the Ebro
id on the Hlh. still pursued by Alaix. Ol llodil
)r not a word is said. Alaix is accused of treachery
and mutinous conduct in exciting his troops to
r rcfiiso Narvaez as their commander, but there is
no knowing what dependence to place on these
ic reports. Certain it is that the war is now again
confined within the limits of Navarre, and the
1j diiisions of Alaix, Narvaez, and 8.1 n Miguel would
0 seem to he drawing together in quaiter.
Those divi-ions, with the forces under Espartero,
. amount probably to 35,090 or 40,000 men, and
n ns Gomez will undoubtedly form a junction with
n Villareal, it is possible that something of import-
J c c may he done. We leant n tilting of the

1 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2511 t, 1837.
The principal subject before the Senate this
>. week, has liccn the Bill to restrict the sales of
t- public lands to sc.ua! settlers and in limited qusn
lilies. The debate has now continued for five
or six Jays, and at times was quite interesting.
5 [ The disclosures which have been made of the
frauds and corruptions that have occurred in the
0 disposal of the lands would astonish those not
conversant with the subject. The public domain
u it scents has been regarded as a goose which every
is man has a right to pluck. It has been made
•e abundantly manifest in the course of the debate
™ that the bill now in question cannot do anything
,| towards the prevention of these frauds, and will
r. be also utterly inefficacious as a measure for liini
*. ling the sales to actual settlers. It was intro-
dured in a shape which clearly demonstrated the
. entire unfitness of Mr. Walker for the post be
e occupies at the head of the Committee on Public
8 Lands. His own friends were ashamed of it;
' and each one has given a rap with his hammer to
the crude and unseemly mass, until scarcely
s any appearance remains of the form in which i l
'' was originally presented. The graduation clause
j offered by Mr. Tipton as an amendment, the es-
B feet of which was to reduce tho price of all lands
which had been in the market ton years to one
* dollar per acre, and of those which had been in
maikct fifteen years to twenty-five cents per acre (
r was rejected yesterday by a vole of 20 to 18.
A proposition made yesterday by Mr. Morris,
to strike out the entire section which gives pre
r eruptive rights to actual settlers created a very ani
| mated and exciting discussion : Mr, Clay sup
ported it in a speech of great force of argument
f and eloquence. Some of the members from the
1 newer stales were fiery and boisterous in thoi r
opposition, particularly Mr. Denton, and Mr
Walker, the latter of whom declared that if both
the preemption clause and the graduation clause
should be struck out, ho would abandon the bil
at Once.
Mi. Morris will address tho Senate to-day in
behalf of his motion.
Tho great speech of the week was that of Mr.
Ewing of Ohio, commenced on Monday and
ended yesterday. Ho spoke with his accustomed
clearness and force on the general subject; and
was both attractive and instructive. lie com
mented with just severity on the undigested and
unfinished character ol the bill, and showed B
would be utterly impossible hy its provisions to
accomplish the objects the majority affected to
have in view.
The Committee of Finance have reported on
the petition from the Ncw-York Board of Trade,
praying for the establishment of a National Bank’
and n resolution declaring that the prayer of tho
petitioners ought not to bo granted. The Com
mittee of Ways and Means in the House, have
made a similar report. But for all that Van
Huron will scarcely bo warm in his seat as Chief
Magistrate, before his satrlites will take steps for
the creating of a National Bank, to bo placed in
the city of Now-York. Mark the prediction !
Before closing my notice of the Senate's pro'
ceedings, I must inform you (hut the reports in
circulation about the repeal of the Treasury Order
hy the President, are quite fallacious and unfound
ed. Mr. Walker’s declaration in his speech last
week, that it would be revoked was mere chaff.
There is a bill before the Senate embracing the
proposition offered by Mr. Hives, as an amend
ment to the resolution of Mr. Ewing, for rcceiv'
ing the older; but tho parly will not permit it to
be taken up, and it will bo postponed and delayed
until il is 100 late for the action of the other J louse
at tho present Session. The repeal of this ini
quitous measure is reserved as a feather in the
cap of the coming administration. It will not b c
put in the power of General Jackson cither to
approve ol or veto it.
In the House on Monday more than two hours
wore occupied by Mr. Adams, in arguing ques
ions of order, ami presenting Abolition petitions,
of which he produced thirty. They were laid
on tire table without being road, referred, or
ordered to be printed, under the order of the House
in lire adoption of Mr. Hawes's resolution which
is an exact transcript of tho resolution of Mr.
Pinckney; adopted at the last Sassion. Tire sign
ors of one of those petitions endeavoured to evade
the operation of this resolution by altering the
form of tneir document. They prayed Congress
to extend the protection given by tho laws, and
the rights secured by the declaration of independ
ence, to all the inhabitants of the District of Co
lumbia. Mr. Adams said this did not contain
one word about slavery and therefore did not come
within tho rule. But the chair decided that the
order of the House applied to this paper and on
appeal by Mr. Adams, tho decision was sustained
by an overwhelming majority.
Petitions for Abolition were presented from va
rious other states; and one Memorial was offered
hy Mr. Pierce of N. 11., from a dozen or two of
repentant Abolitionists who had signed abolition
petitions last year, and who now wished to unsay
all they had then said.
Tito Bill for admission of Michigan into the
Union, was the special order of yesterday. Mr.
Vanderpool made a long and elaborate harangue
in elucidation of tho provisions ot the measure,
and in defence of the principles proclaimed by its
advocates in both Houses—principles revolution
ary and destructive of tho frame of every establish
ed Government —the principles that a body of
men may assemble and legally and constitution
ally, do acts in direct and flagrant violation of law
and the provisions of the Constitution!
Mr. Slorer replied to him in a well reasoned
and spirited speech, in opposition to all those un
constitutional views and doctrines. Mr. Toney
supported Ihc measure in its whole length and
bieadth. Mr. Haws then moved tho previous
question—but just at this point on motion of Mr.
i Briggs, the Ilottso adjourned.
Mr. Mann’s motion was the first thing in order
to-day and tho final vote being taken the Bill was
passed. It only wants the signature of tire Presi
dent which it will promptly receive, and Michi
gan will be doubtless admitted into the Union this
day. Whitney appeared before tho Committee on
his case on Monday, and asked four days more
which was granted to him by a party vote. His
excuse is that bis Counsel is si ck ?.
Mr. AVise’s Committee on the conduct of tho
Executive Departments have met, and Mr. Wise
proposed some enquiries » hich he wished to make
into the amount of patronage given by these De
partments to the public press. The Committee
by a party vote laid bis proposition on the table.
Mr. Pearce insisted ho should make spccifiic alio-
I gallons. In fact the Committee was selected on
j the principle of preventing a fair, free and compre
j Uensivc examination and they arc obeying or
t ders, doubtless in throwing every obstacle in Mr.
j Wise’s way to retard and embarass him. He will
j it is believed, report the facts to the House, unless
1 hey alter their conduct,
PRESENTMENTS or rutGRANDJURY •
Ist. We, the Grand Jury of Richmond Court
for the third week of the January Term of 183
do present the vice of Gambling as increasing 1
lliia County, instead of being diminished unite
the action of our laws. It is becoming call
more open and shameless in the evidence ut i.s
existence, and presents attractions to the young
and thoughtless, that are- irresistible, no
persons in the community appearing to possess
such elegant leisure, or sporting greater style in
dress and equippage. As the great harvest o)
gaming occurs at the period of Annual Races,
the Jury fear that its further tolerance on the
race ground mill lead to evils greater than the ex
pected benefits of the Turf.
2nd. We also present the great numhei of Re
tail Grog Shops, so numerous as to create a sus
picion, that many persons ate so engaged without
legal authority, and induce the Jury to request,
that those entrusted with the power, will use in
. c reased vigilance in this matter.
3rd. Wc present the state of our Roads as un
becoming a community so alive to public im
provement, and so interested in having all Us
highways perfectly adapted to answer their ob
ject. The three great Market roads leading to
and from the City, the one running Lust to the
Sand Bar Ferry, the one North and the other
South, with their respective branches, requite im
mediate attention, not through their whole extent,
hut at particular points, which are almost impas
sible. The Sand Bar Ferry road ut different pla
ces, where there can be no turn outs, demands
immediate repairs. On this road, from the
breaking of a daiipuhcro is danger of frequent
delay to the public Mail and Market vehicles,
from high water. The Jury would recommend
the reconstruction of this dam or hank, directly in
the road, thus making it level, in which opera
tion, Proprietors of laud below it might be indu
ced to aid the county. This road torms the
great thorough-fare also for public promenade, and
should not raise a blush in the citizen’s cheek
while escorting respectable strangers round the
City.
4th. Such is the situation of the fold of Big
Spirit ( reck on the Waynesboro’ Road, imme
diately below John McDades Mill, and also ol the
two Bridges and Causeway near the same place,
that, some of the citizens having sustained the
loss and damage of property, and danger of their
lives, the Grand Jury tceomme'nd that the Jus
tices of the Inferior Court, cause a good Bridge
to be creeled over said Ford and the Bridges and
Causeway aforesaid to be propeily repaired.
In parting with the Judge and Attorney Gen
eral, we cannot refrain from expressing our ap
probation of their official conduct, and thank
them, particularly for their courtesy to the Jury.
We also request that these Presentments be
published iu the Papers of the City.
