the disease, and wmrh he meant to ask the Mouse

solution which bo submitted was as follows, viz:

The resolution was read, and there -not being a
quorum present, Mr. Adams moved a call of the
House; which was ordered—and tho roll having
been partly gone through. A number of mem
bers having in the menu time come in, sufficient
to make a quorum, the further proceedings were
suspended, and Mr. Howard then moved that the
rule should lie suspended in order to take tip the
joint resolution reported by him, and that it then
might have its second reading. The motion to
suspend the ride was rejected—ayts 59, noes 52.
[It required two-thirds.]
Tho House then preceded to the order wf the
day, the tariff.
Mr. Appleton-proposed to insert,-in the .7*1 Item,
line 38, the words “in the whole -or an part.” in

tons more definite; svliich ivas-agreed to.
Mr. Adams then proposed-to strike out the 4tli
item in the duty of 124 cents the 'square yaril on

to the 2d soction, but which was not then in order.
Mr Stewart of Penn, proposed to strike out of

or manufactured in tins whole or in part, by roll
ing," and insert in lieu thereof, "1 cent per lb.”
So as to bring back the duty to wliat it was by

Mr. Root then proposed tho alteration of the
ton weight, to bo coutputod thenceforth at 2000,
iustead of “2240."
Mr. Adams bad no objection to the principle.
Any alteration in this respect should be more ex
tensive thau tho gentleman seemed to apprehend.
There ought to ho in other cases a corresponding
alteration of tho entire system of weights and
monsures. Tho adoption of tho alteration might
lead to great inconvcnicnco at the custom house,
as the old woiglit 22401bs. was retailed in Eng-
land: it would certaiuly encumber iho present
bill, which was already heavy enough.

offer bis amendment.

20," and in line 61 ‘-not exceeding 20”—which,
after some,, discussion by nr. Horn and mr. Den
ny in opposition, and by mr. Adams and mr.
Ellsworth in favor of it, the amendment was a-
greedto.
Mr. Denny then proposed -to make the duty
thereon similar to what it was by tho tariff of
1828—which tves rejected.
Mr. Ellsworth proposed to reduce tho dnty on
silver or plated wire to 5 per cent, ad valorem.
Mr. E. stated it was an article not manufactured
in this country at all, mid was principally 'used
for chains to bridle bits, hooks aud oyes, dec. a-

ter screws, ‘peuknivos’—which was rejected.
Mr. Horn moved to strike out, in tbe 86th line,

The Indian War.—It appears (says the Ric

movement of the troops under Gen. A'* 1 *,
