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. [Alexandria Gazette. A message from the president respecting our relations with Spain was received and referred to the committee ou foreign rela tions. [lbid. Front the Savannah Gazette. 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 ad libitum. 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.
