ting the Council from a desire to pass a law intentionally from which so much mischief lias resulted, and to say it has arisen more from the abuses of its administration than the law itself, he would conclude, w ith the expression of a hope, that the honourable committee would pro pose some law lietter to secure the objects for which this attempt was inteded. Mr. Baylies, of Mass, offered the following resolution, which lies one day or. the table : Resolved, That the President of the United States be request to com municate to tiiis House all the cor respondence between the govern ment of the United States and the government of Great Britain, re specting the boundary of that part of the territory of the* United States which is situated on the Pacific ocean, and which (.as not already been communicated, or so much thereof as uiav be compatible w ith with the public interest to dis close. Wi'.nsp.sniv, Jan. 18. In the Senate, two Bills were re ported ; one for the relief of sundry citizens of Baltimore, whose proper ty was sunk in the harbour during the late war, and the other for the relief of Ebentfzer Oliver and other;-. There Resolutions we re submitted twoby Mr. John, (on, (of Louisiana); one for the election of light-hoUse* at Cape Florida and CapeCormivcrnl, and the Other by Mr. Clayton,relative to the change of a post route in the State of Delaware. The Resolutions offered yeitcrduy wore all agreed to. In the House of Representatives, yesterday, the consideration of the Judicial Bill was again taken up m Committee, when Mr Buckner ofKentucky, Mr. Livingston, of Lou. and .Mr. lngersoil, of Connecticut, all spoke very ably in support of the Bill. Mr. higorsoll is anew mem ber, and attracted great attention by the pertinence of his remarks, and the force and cliastit\ of bis expres sion A Bill was passed for altering the time ofholding the District (hiurt in the Northern District of V V. On motion of Mr. Bavlies, of Mass, a resolution was laid on the table, calling for information as to the cor respondence between Great Britain anil tlie* 1 . Kiates, respecting that part of the boundary of the United States bordering on the Pacific Ocean. No other business of any importance was Iran .a ted. Tin v.soiv, Jan. Id. In the Senate, the hid amending the Judicial System, which was made the order ofthe day .was ordered lolie on the table,the Chairman ofthe .1 udi ciary Committee, Mr. Van Boren, being prevented from attending by indisposition. The Bill for the re lict of sundry citizens of Baltimore was ordered to he engrossed for its third reading, without opposition— and the hill “supplementary to an act to perfect certain locations and sales oi public lands in .Missouri,” passed April 26, 1822, passed, and was sent to the House of Reprcson tatives for concurrence Mr. John son, of Kentucky, gave notice of hi* intention to bring in a hill to author ize tho Columbian College, in this district, to raise certain sums by lot teries, for the benefits of that institu tion. A memorial was presented by Mr. Haync, from the City Council of Charles ton, for the establishment of a Marine Hospital at that place, for the use of sick and disabled sea men. An attempt was yesterday made to cut short the discussion in the Com mittee of the House oi’ Representa tives, on the Judicial Bill. With :i view to bring the debate, which has now occupied the House for a fort night, to a point, Mr. Mercer, at the suggestion of Mr. Storrs, of New York, withdrew his motion to amend the bill by striking out the first sec tion. Mr. Storrs then submitted a motion to amend the hiil by striking out three additional Judge* and in serting two ; so as to make the whole number ofthe Supreme Judges nine instead often, which is tho number proposed ill the bill as it w as report ed. The motive in makingthis pro position was, to divert the discussion from the general principle ofthe bill. It is likely that thq Committee will report, the hill to day, if the object ofthe motion should he obtained. A report, in part, was made by the Committee on Elections, on the sub ject of the Michigan election. The report, which will be found in our proceedings, states that the Board of canvassers had exceeded their du ty. The subject of a post road from Baltimore to Philadelphia was refer red to the Post Office Committee, on motion of Mr. Mitchell, of Mary land. Mr Wrckliffe, of Kentucky, laid on the table a resolution on the subject of a Canal from the Missis sippi to the Bay of Pensacola Mr. * Livingston laid some resolutions on the table to appoint a Committee to report at the next session on the ex pediency of consolidating the ex isting laws in relation to dut'es on imposts and tonnage, and for making uniform the laws relative to foreign bills of exchange. A resolution was also agreed to, on motion of Mr. Insr ham, of Penn, directing the Judicia ry Committee to inquire into an al leged professional misdemeanor. It is charged against a District Attor ney, that after prosecuting a public debtor, he received a fee from the debtor himself—or rather his assig nee—to render him service in the case. The subject excited some in dignation in the House, and the Com mittee was clothed with authority to send for persons ami papers. Mr. llendricks, from the Select Committee on Roads and Canals, to whom was referred the bill to provide for a survey of the proposed canal route in Florida, reported the same with some amendments. A report on the same subject was made by the Committee ; which was ordered to be printed. Mr B entou, from the Select Com mittee to whom was referred the re solu ion proposing an mendment to the Constitution of the United States, limiting tho period for which a President shall be eligible, to two term*, reported th • same with an amendment. Mr. Bcnl on, from the same Com mittee, to whom wore ri ferred the resolutions proposing an amendment to tho Constitution of the United States, on tlie subject of the election of President and Vice-President, made a long report, accompanied with the follow ing resolution : Resolved by the Senate and House of Ri.pre-entatives of the United S',de- of America in Congress as sembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the follow ing amend ment to fh<- Constitution ofthe Uni ted States lie | reposed to the Lcgis* latnrcs of the several States, which, when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, shall he valid to all intents and purposes, a?

The person having the greatest number of votes for Vice-President at the first election, shall he Vice- President, if such number be equal to a ma jority of tho whole number of votes given ; and if no person have such majority, then a second election shall take place between the persons having the two highest numbers, on the same day that the second elec tion is held for President ; and the person having tiie highest number of votes for Vice-President, shall lie Vice-President.

Mr Benton, from the se lect committe, reported a resolution proposing an amendment to the Con stitution of the United States, on the subject of the election of President and Vice-President, accompanied by a report of eighty manuscript pages, tlif! reading of which occupied about an hour and a half. Three thousand copies of the report, were ordered to be printed. The bill for tiie re lief of sundry citizens of Baltimore, was laid on the table, and the bill, suppl- mentaly to the art to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage, gave rise to some de bate, from which it appeard that a confidential agent had been sent to Philadelphia, to investigate the facts relative to the recent custom-house transactions in that citv. After a little more discussion yes terday, in the House of Representa tives, on the subject of the Judicial Bill, on which Mr. Wright, of Ohio, was the principle speaker, followed briefly by Mr. Wood, of New-York, and Mr. Kremer, of Pennsylvania, the bill was reported without amend ment. In the House, a division took place, by ayes and noes, on a motion by Mr. Storrs, of New-York, to give but two new Judges, which was de rided in the negative—the ayes being GO, and the noes 119. Mr. Merger moved to recommit the bill to the Judiciary Committee, with instruc tions to amend it so as to separate the Appellate from the Circuit Court, and reduce the Judges in the former to five. This question will probably be discussed to-day.

From a report recently laid before Congress, it appears that the quanti ty of wines subject to duty, imported into the United Slates, from 1801, to 182 1, both years inclusive, a period of 24 years, amounted to 63,822,482 gallons. Os these, 1.545,690 gallons were Malmsey. Madeira, and London Particular Mad ira ; 688,067 gallons were of other Madeira ; 118,366 gal lons were ofßurgimdy.Champaingnc, Rhenish and Tokay ; 3,935,558 gal lons were of Sherry and St. Luear ; 2,037,709 gallons were of Claret, and other wines imported in bottles or cases ; 5,640,649 gallons were of Lisbon, Oporto, and other Portu guse wine : 10,922.643 gallons were of Tencriffe, Fayal, Malaga, St. George, and other Western Island Wines; and 35.933,800 gallons come under the class of miscellaneous wines. The quantity of wine import ed in each year, is a follows: In 1801, 2,718,426 gallons; iu 1802, 3,068.- 237 gallons ; in 1803, 2,287,969 gal lons ; in 1804, 5,016,728 gallons; in 1805.6.261.780 gallons; 1806, 4,- 825,630 gallons ; in 1807, 5,507,779 gallons, in 1808. 3,302,783 gallons; in 1809, 1,159,780 gallons ; in 1810, 1,467,177 gallon*; m 1811, 1,896,- 509 gallons ;. in 1812, 4,962.314 gal hons; in 1813, 802,689 gallons; in 4814, 422,159 gallops ; in 1815, 1.- 280,060 gallons; in 1816, 3,232,848 gallons; in 1817, 1,745,378 gallons; in 1818, 2,031,287 gallons ; in 1819, 1,767,119 gallons; in 1820, 1.653,- 851 gallons; in 1821, 3,215,140 gallons ; in 1822, 3,068,216 gallons ; in 1823,2,675,244 gallons; and in 1824, 1,385,567 gallons. From this statement it will be seen that the lar gest quantity of wine imported in any one year, was in the year 1805 when 6.261.780 gallons, about one-tenth oi the whole, was imported ; and the smallest quantity in 1814, when onlv 422,459 gallons were imported. A resolution was adopted in the House of Representatives on the 17th nit., instructing the Judiciary Committee to enquire whether any cases have occurred in which Attor neys ofthe United States have re ceived compensation from defend ants in causes under their care, in which the United States are plain tiffs, for services rendered in such causes for defendants, with power to s ml fur persons and papers. The case cited by Mr. Ingham, of Penn sylvania, who originally brought for ward the resolution to direct the above committee to enquire wheth er a lan- was not expedient on the subject, was the following:— An attorney of the United Slates had brought suit against a public debtor, and afterwards received a fee of $250 for professional services, which lie rendered to the debtor; and when tiie facts became known, tiie attorney admitted, and justified on tiie ground that the fee was not paid by the debtor and defendant in the suit, but by his assignees, who were not parties on the record. Much feeling was excited, and Mr. Webster observed, if ever we should arrive at a slate of things 'when it will require an explicit statute, to declare that a member of the pro fession retained on one side, should not take a fee from the opposite [•artv, he prayed God it may never fall to his lot to draw a statute which would cast so disgraceful an imputa tion on the profession. He did not know how any gentleman could view sucii conduct in any other light than as a professional misdemeanor ofthe worst description. To make it a grave subject of inquiry, whether this conduct was the result of any defect in the law, with a view to the prevision of a remedy in future ca ses, was not, in his opinion, the pro per course. Heaven forbid that the Judiciary Committee should direct its labours to such an inquiry. The proper course is not inquiry—but punishment, on proof of the fact.— There is law enough for this pur pose. If there be such a case, th< attention of the committee ought to be drawn to it; for it is a fit subject for punishment.— Georgian. From the Editor of the Sent:..cl of the Valley, dated at Washington City, January 3d, 1826. The Creek business appears to ex cite great anxiety at this time. It seems questionable whether Con gress can get it before them so as to act upon it deffinitely, I apprehend the Treaty will be carried into effect with the compromise of not ejecting the Indians until (he time limited shall have expired. I saw Chilly Mclntosh last night, lie is greatly devoted to the cause of Georgia; and for so young a man, is really deserving the attention ofeve ry one, independent of the sympathy excited by his late melancholly be reavement.

The public houses are crow ded, and indeed every thing warrants the con clusion that it has already become a great city. January sth. -—I was last night in vited by the Chief Sehuta, to spend the evening with the delegation of the hostile Creeks, and it was one of the most interesting hours of my life. The aboriginals of our country were formed by nature with minds of the most extraordinary magnitude. They comprehend with a sort ot' careless recognition, every thing that is ad vanced, and ifonceinthe course of a visit, yon can make them abandon their native taciturnity, you may be sure of a rich feast of Nature’s elo quence. The conversation, as might be supposed, turned upon the causes which brought these warriors to Washington. Opothle Yoholo to use his own language, declares that the safe of the Creek lands were j not authorized by the nation. Tu commissioners of the United State*, departed fromtheir instruction when th> j made the treaty, as will be pro vod by Gen. Gaines, w ho, supported by (he ii-cessary documents, will re- I K, rt to Congress. Opothle Yoholo says “ not having received value for our lands consonant with our view* ofthe national justice— not realizing even in imagination, the right ofthe* United States, to eject us from possessions we obtained by virtue of our birth light, although’ such pos session* may have been ostensibly wrested from us by the usurping pow. or ot the Mclntosh influence we proudly maintain the authority of the lords of the soil, and should we . loose the enjoyments of its pleasures, and its profits, we can at least declare the injust ce of the measure and the cruelty ot the persecution.
