Proceedings of Congress. , IN SENATE, May 4. , The Senate took up the bill from the . House of Representative further to regu- j late the Host-office Establishment. Mr. Stokes stated, that he was instruct ed by the Committee on the Post-office and Host Roads, to move that the bill be indefi nitely postponed. The bill, he said, con tained some valuable provisions, but it was sojousely drawn, and was so defective in er&r respects, that it would require much amendment of detail, which there was not tiioe now to enter into. Mr. Holmes, of Maine, briefly, and Mr. flrotvu, of Lou. at some length, mentioned several objectionable features in this bill, which rendered its passage highly inexpe dient, and some provisions of importance which would require a degree of examina tion too great for this late period of the session. Mr. Chandler concurred in the proprie ty of the postponement. Mr. Lowrie enumerated some of the pro visions of the bill, which he considered val uable, wh'ch were easily understood, and ought to be adopted, and those thought complex and objectionable might be omit ted until the next session. Ife moved for the present that the bill be laid on the ta ble. This motion was lost by the casting vote of the President; there being 15 for, j and 15 against it. After some further debate, in which •Messrs. Johnson, of Lou. Holmes of Maine, Jirown, of Lou. Ruggles and Stokes, sup ported the ihdefinite postponement of the bill; and Messrs. Talbot, Lowrie, fc King, of Alab. opposed it, the last named gentle man renewed the motion to lay the bill on the table, with the view of taking it on Monday ; but the motion was lost ; and then, The bill was indefinitely postponed by a large majority. After reading twice and referring a number of bills from the House of Repre sentatives, and spending some time on Ex ecutive business. The Senate adjourned to 6 o’clock this afternoon. The Senate took up the amendments of the House of Representatives to the bill in addition to the act concerning naviga tion, and concurred therein. The remainder of the sitting was con sumed in receiving, reading, and referring the other biils which passed the House of Representatives this evening, and Execu tive business. Mouse of Representative*. Mr. Newton, of Va. from the committee of Commerce, to whom was referred a bill from the Senate, in addition to the act con cerning navigation, reported the same with out amendment ; to which sundry amend ments were subsequently proposed by Mr. Newton and adopted, and the amendments were ordered t*> be engrossed, and the ssr.i", with the bill, were ordered fora third reading this day. £ I’he principal a tnenrfment moved by Mr. N. provides that theSd, 4th, and the 7th sections of the act of the 3J of March, 1817, to continue in force the act •* further to provide for the collection of duties on imports & tonnage,” passed in 1815, shall be revived and made permanent.] Mr. Cocke moved that the house do now take, into consideration the bill to reduce and fix the military peace establishment— but the house refused to consider the same —ayes 49 tioes 54. The following message *vas received from the President of (lie United States: To the House of Representatives of the United States : In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives, of the 19th A pril, requesting tlie President “ to cause to be communicated to the House, if not in jurious to tbe putdic interest, any letter which may h ive t>'ae> received from Jona than Russell, one of the Ministers who con cluded the treaty of Ghent, in conformity with indications contained in his letter of 25th of December, 1814,” 1 have to state til■.t having referred the resolution to the Wecietary of State, ami it appearing by a report fiooi him, tltut no such document had been deposited among the archives of the Department, I examined and found a inong my private papers a letter of that de scription, marked private by himself. 1 transmit a copy of the report of the Secre tary of S.ute, by which it appears that Mr. Itussell, oo being apprised that the docu- menr referred toby the regulation had not been deposited in the Department of State, delivered there “ a paper put pm ting to be the duplicate of a letter written by him from Paris, on the llth February. 1815, to the than Secretary of State, to be corn mu ni* a'ed to the House as the letter called for by the resolution.” On the perusal of the document called for, I find that it communicates a difference of opinion between Mr. Russell and a ma jority of hie colleages, in certain transac t.oos which recurred iu the negotiations at Ghent, touching interests which have been since sathfactonly adjusted by treaty be tween the Doited State* and Great Britain. The view which Mr. iitisseli presents ofhis own conduct, End that of his colleagues, in those transactions, will, it is presumed, call from the two surviving members of that missi m, who d.ffeicd lrom him, a re plj. containing their view of those transac tor s, and of the conduct of the parties in them, and who, should his letter be com- jn uivipiv v * • qua! justice, could not be resisted. The The Secretary of State, one of ibe Minis ters referred to, has already expressed a desire that Mr. Russell’s lettershoutd be communicated, and that I would transmit, at the same time, a communication from him respecting it. On full consideration of the subject, I have thought it would be improper for the Executive to communicate the letter call ed for, unless the House, on a knowledge of these circumstances, should desire it; in which case the document called for shall be cotnmunicated, accompanied by a report from the Secretary of State, as above sug ; gested. I have directed a copy to be de livered to Mr. Russell, to be disposed of • as he may think proper, and have caused I the original to be deposited in the Depart > ment of State, with instruction to delivers ■ copy to any person who may be interested. JAMES MONROE. Washington, May 4, 1822. On motion f Mr. Taylor, the message was ordered to be laid on the table. A bill from the Senate to abolish the U. Stated trading establishments with the In dian tribes, was read a third time. Mr. Milnor remarked, that, as this was a bill of which he considered the policy to he, to say the least of it, extremely doubt ful, and, as it was one of great importance, he should ask for the yeas aid nays upon its passage. The question being put, the !call for the yeas and nays was not sustain jed; and the bill was passed without de bate or division. The bill in addition to the act “ concern ing navigation,” and also to authorize the appointment of deputy collectors (the title cj” the bill having been amended so to read,) was read a third firr.e and passed. The engrossed bill making further ap propriations for the military service of the United States for the yeai 1822, was read a third time, and cent to the Senate for concurrence. Mr. Wright rose and said, he voted against the appropriation of the 19.000 dollars to pay the militia courts martial in New-York during the late war; lie felt it due to himself, he said, briefly to assign the reason. These culprits were moved and seduced, by the instigation of the Devil and the Hartford Convention, treasonably to desert the standard of tlieir country, & not todo their countryservie% ‘I hey themselves ought to have paid the cost. We have no such charge in Maryland—it may be a question whether the court martial ought to be paid at ail, as I do not understand that any of these culprits suffered death. The following message was received from the President of the U. Slates : To the House, of Representatives : Having duly considered the bill, entitled ” An act lor preservation and repair of the Cumberland Road,” it is with deep regret, approving, as 1 do, the policy, that I am compelled to object to its passage, and to return the bill to the House of Represen tatives, in which it originated, under a con viction that Congresss do not possess the power, under the constitution, to pass such a law. A power to establish turnpikes with gates and tolls, anil to enforce the collec tion of the toils by penalties implies a power to adopt and execute a complete system ol internal improvement. A right to impose duties to be paid by all persons, passing a certain road, and on horses and carriages, as is done by. this bill, involves the right to take the land fiotn the propiie tor, on a valuation ; am) to pass laws for the proteciion of the road from injuries— anil if it exist as to the one, it exists as to any other, and as many roads as Congress may think proper to establish. A right to legislate lur one of these purposes, is a right to legislate for the others. It is a complete right of jurisdiction and sove reignty. for all the pu>poses of internal improvement, and not rneiely the right of applying money, under the power vested in Congress to make appropriations, under widen power, with the consent of the states through which this road passes, the work was originally commenced, and has been so far executed. I am of opinion that Congress do not possess tnis power—that the states, individually, cannot grant it ; for, although they may assent to the appro priation of money within their limits for such purposes, they can grant no power of jurisdiction or sovereignty, by special con tracts with the United States.—This power can be granted only by an amendment to the constitution, and in the mode prescrib ed by it. If the power exist, it must be either be cause it has been specifically granted to tbe U. States, or that it is incidental to some power which has been specifically granted. If vve examine the specific grants of power, we do not find it among them ; nor is it incidental to any power which has been specifically gran’ed. It has never been contended that the power was specifically granted. It is, claimed only as being incidental to some one or more ot the powers from which it is said to be derived : Ist. From the right to establish post of fices and post road’s. 2d. From the right to declare war. 3d. To regulate commerce. 4th. To pav the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare.— sth. From the power to make all laws ne cessary and proper for carrying into exe-| cation all the powers vested by the consti tution in the government of the U. S. or! in any department or office thereof. Gth.i and lastly. From the power to dispose of, | and make all needful rules and regulations i “ According to my jmJgment, it cannot be dfrived from either of those powers, nor from all of them united, and in conse quence it does not exist. Having stated my objections to the bill, I should now cheerfully communicate at large the reasons on which they are found ed, if I had time to reduce them to such form as to include them in this paper. The advanced stage of the session renders that impossible. Having, at the com mencement of my service on this high trust, considered it a duty to express the opinion that the U. States do not possess the power in question, and to suggest lor the consideration of Congress, the proprie ty of recommending to the states an a* mendment to the constitution, and to vest the power in the U. States, my attention has been often drawn to the subject since, in consequence whereof I have occasion ally committed my sentiments to paper respecting it. The form which this expo sition has assumed, is not such, as I should have given it, had it been intended for Congress n°r is it concluded. Neverthe less, as it contains my views on this sub ject, being one which I deem of very high importance, and which, in many of its bearings, nas now become peculiarly urgent 1 will communicate it to Congress, if in my power, in the course of the day, or cer tainly on Monday next. JAMES MONROE. Washington, May 4th, 1822. Mr. Taylor moved that the message,and the bill be laid on the table, which was car ried— aye 9 87.

J|UST “eceived “the Roston Handel and sJ avdn Society Collection of Church Music, being a selection of the hiost approved Psalm and Hvmn tunes; together with manv beautiful extracts from the works <>f Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and other eminent composers, never before published in this country. The whole harmonized for three’ and four voices, with a fi gured bass from the organ and Piano Forte.” The above work was compiled and the Music harmonized by Mr. 1,. Mason, of this city. It contains all the fine tunes we have been accus tomed to hear in our churches, and is calculated to furnish ladies who play the Piano Forte, with an extensive variety of Sacred Music The following recommendation was written by the late Air. Abel, and is abundantly sufficient to extol its merits: Having critically examined the manuscript co ]iy of “The Handel and Haydn Society Collec tion of Church Music,” l feel a pleasure in say ing that the selection of tunes is not only judi ciously made, but the parts are properly arrang ed—the Bass is correctly figured, and in no in stance are the laws of counterpoint and thorough Bass violated, as is the case in most American Musical Publications. To all the lovers of sacred music, 1 cheerfully recommend it as a work in which taste, science and judgment are happily combined. F. L. ABEL. Savannah professor of Music.
