CONGRESSIONAL.
From our Correspondent at Washington.
Saturday, March 14th, 1318.
The Resolutions of the Committee of the
whole, declaring the Constitutional right of j
Congress to make Roads and Canals in the
several States, were yesterday reported to
i the House, after a long debate, in which the
1 Speaker, (Mr. Clay) distinguished himself
i by a very able and eloquent speech* in f»«-
; or of those „ / "« the House is
I /u,sr of the scheme of Internal Improve
ments is evident; and the principle that
| Congress have a Constitutional Power to
make them, will be established, provided
i those Resolutions are adopted by the House, j
Difficulties, however, still lie in the way. I
The President though he is friendly, as his j
message to Congress proves,to Internal lin- J
proveineut, is of opinion, that they are not j
warranted by the Letter of the Constitution, j
and has therefore hinted at an amendment I
of the Constitution for the purpose; so thus
if the Resolutions shall not be ultimately
carried by a much greater majority, than
that by which they have now been carried,
orin other words, by a Constitutional Ma
jority, (be President will not sign them.
The Parti/.ans of the Amelia-Island pat
riots, are quite chop fallen, and their
Agent here, finds, that instead of his appeal
against the President, being approved of,
the House of Representatives, and the peo
ple regard'lhe attempt with merited indig- j
nation. The real views of the Free Booters J
| of Galveztown and Amelia-Island, are eve- i
rv day more clearly seen through, and there j
is little doubt entertained, but that the first
intelligence from our Commissioners in Sou’ll
America, will demonstrate, that the United
Stales have narrowly escaped a disagreeable,
if not disgracefil Dilemma, and that they
were rescued from it merely by the wisdom
and vigorous exertion of their Executive.
f Charleston Courier.
nonday, March 10, is 18.
The resolutions respecting internal im
provements, were again and for the last
time under the consideration of the house
of representatives on Saturday. An at
tempt to postpone them indefinitely, and in
that way to get rid of them, was made and
well supported in a short but able speech
by Vir. Mills; but failed of success His
j objection seemed to be, not to the substan
tia! objects of internal improvement, but to
the question’s not coming in sufficiently
practical shape, and being of too abstract a
character to be entertained by the house.
1 here was a vast deal of conversation on
each of the several resolutions, aud on
amendments proposed to them ; but the
result of the whole was the adoption of air
ly the first resolution, which declares tirat
" Congress lias power to appropriate money
forth' construe •» n of post-roads, military
i and other roads and canals, and fur the im
; provenient of water courses.” The question
on this wa» taken by yeas and nays, and
was carried by a majority of 13 —y’u being
in its favor an 1 75 against if.
By this decision the question of the con
stitutional competency of congress, so far
| a-, it depends on the sense of the house of
representatives, is laid at rest for ever.
Ihe second resolution, recognizing the !
power of congress, under the constitu- :
tion, to construct post and military i
roads, provided that private property j
be paid for:—
The third resolution, declaring the pow- j
w of congress to make roads and can- ;
ttls for commerce, with the same pro- j
vision ; and j
1 lie fourth resolution, to make military I
r‘utils under the same provision,
Were all negatived.

It' is sometimes gratifying to onr furiosi- f
ty, to take a view of the vorieus nations
that have figured on the page of fame; to
mark the prouu career to the zenith of their
greatness, and then behold them ailcDtly
passing to the shades of oblivion. V\ here
are the mighty names that once carried ter
ror tliroiigti the world, aud cowered the
pride of the stoutest foe ? Where is the
glory of Assyria, of Persia, of Greece, of
Macedon, ami of Rome ? The mighty tem
ple which they reared to the goddess of
their idolatry has crumbled, the monuments
of their groatuess have mouldered, and the
shadow of their power hath passed away.
Hearce a vestige of their national greatness
remains ; and even their names, on the ve
ry plains where once they figured, is cither
unknown, or heard with the indifference of
a dreaui that has long been forgotten.
Giber kingdoms have been rai ed on their
ruins, and other names have eclipsed their
glory.
Tlii- proud empires that now flourish and
challenge the dominion of the world, how !
long is it since they have risen from (he !
shade* of obscurity, and burst upon our ;
view r The powerful empire of Russia. '
thu now stretches her huge limbs like a ;
rollossos. frein the 39th to the 20'\ b deg. •
<.f long, and from the 50th to the 7.Bih J
! g. of lat. ar.d who encircles in her cra
| nsee about the JOtb part of the whole ,
| -jlnbc, whose armies awe Europe, and threat- j
: a Asia ; who lias lately wag-d successful I
war, aud humbled the vaster of the eautia- »
ens was, three eenfuries ago, unknown
among tbe nalioiu. She is now decidedly
ike most powerful nation on earth.
In the beginning of the 15th century, tlio
Pope was the first temporal ns well as
spiritual prince in Europe. The thunder
of his denunciations awed the continent, and
j his bulls were more dreaded than armies.
Rings knelt before him, and emperors were
proud to do him honor.—But the revolution
of three centuries has robbed him of his
power : his towering crest is humbled, and
ills temporal dominion has passed away.
Spain at the period above alluded to, was
reckoued tbe 4th kingdom in Europe. Her
! navy was onee tbe most powerful in the
i world; her armies threatened the eontin-
I eot, and the grandeur of her court was the
! admiration of the neighboring nations. Pho
! toe has falleu—her power is a shadow, her
i armies have dwindled, and her navy a
! mockery.
But perhaps the greatest change that has
i happened within tbe above mentioned pe- *
I riod, is to be looked for on this side of the
; atlantic. This extensive continent was then
I an unexplored wild; whose boundless so
! rests, uulrod by civilized man, were tlia
I haunts of hordes of savages, who roamed
j wild as the mountain breeze, and rude as
; the storm, that vexed their native sky.
j These too, I’ke & morning dream, have
! vanished, and their frowning forests, the
i lofty pines which shadowed them,are stir P*
j from the reeords of time. Instead of the
; widespread wilderness, the untrod desart,
j a re now seen populous cities, crowded with
! the labors of art, and the splendors of
' civilized life. The delighted eye roams o'er
magnificent, monuments, (oweriiigstruetureg,
and churches, that lift their lofty domes to
heaves. * I
The imagination, of every patriot, must
doubtless, sometimes, anticipate the march
of time, to contemplate our nation when it
shall have arrived to its highest pitch of
greatness, filled its measure of prosperity,
and gained its zenith of glory ; and, ru
minating on (lie melancholy lessons that
have been taught by history,-ask if it is also
doomed to decay. When we have run our
destined course, measured out the time al
lotted to us, shall we pass again to the vale
of oblivion and become as one of the nations,
that have gone before us, of whom no ves
tige temains ? Hitch, the voice of reason
says, will at one time be the ease : for the
seeds of dissolution are indisputably min
gled with the Grst principles of being, and
will finally prevail. Although tke event
may be hastened or retarded, by our folly or
foresight, yet the influence of time is pow
erlul ; and centuries rolling oil centuries,
and ages following ages, with nil their di
visions of epochs ami eras, periods and cir
cuits, may tin,illy obliterate even our name,
and bury all our greatness in blank forget
fulness.
Present Fashions.
1 he several interesting literary periodical
publications, which furnish the important
items of dresses worn by onr belles, have
carried Complaisance to the fair to such an
extent of devotion, that our poor beaux have
been totxilly- neglected, and left to grope
! their way through the varied arid ever
j varying mazes of fashion, with as mueli *a
: gaeitv as it has pleased heaven and their
; preceptors to endow them. To obviate the
probable serious consequences. likely to en
sue to the beau monde, from this highly re
; prehensible neglect, we shall occasionally
devote a niche in oar paper temple of cele- «(
brity, to the detail of male fashions.
mats. The razee rimmed hats or hatfee,
is rapidly going out of fashion, and the hats
of our beaux increase in depth ofrita as the
sun approaches the equator. If the gradual
increase continues until midsummer, we may
expect lints to subserve all the purposes of
umbrellas.
Hair. The Tweedale cut am! combing
out,'’ still preserves its place, so that some
of our young backs, when viewed from be
hind are often mistaken for old men with
full-bottomed wigs, and dressed out in fash
ionable clothes.
Rybbkows. Carefully picked with twee
zers, into beautiful segments of circles.
I'ekth. To be sheHII will) tin CUSV grin,
if you have any left—if not you may percent

Coat. Amphibious, something bet worn
and surloiitA, with collnr* to meet m
front, not unlike a horse's roller,
Vests may be dispensed with, and so may
shirts—a shin collar and a snilll bit of rtillln
being quite ample for all absolutely tiriwssni y
purposes, as tlio ihiug called a font, button*
close to the cinn.
Cravats. To promote useful economy,
only one cravat is worn, tied very light round
the neck. The pressure caiurs a very
florid complexion, and makes onr lieaox look
quite captivating.
Pantaloons. The Cossack cut is quit*
the ton—the wider they «re the more fash
ionable the wearer. They appear to have
put the other sex out of couittnianee. fir so
very nearly had these Cusack Itomers
assimilated the sexes in their exteiior ap
pearance, that tlio ladies have found it ie
qui-ite tn sbo,tmi (heir petticoats, to prevent
their being mistaken for the beam.
Boots and Hiioes. I'lmaied and bras*

tins we consider an improvement or rather
an assimilation, as by its u*e both ends of
the btdy are of the .same material.
