The resolution offered on Thursday by Mr. Condict, relative to the Breakwater in the Delaware Bay, was laid on the table, after a few remarks. The Commit tee to whom that subject was refer red, arc said to have authorized their chairman to report against anv ap propriation for that subject. Both Houses have adjourned to -Monday. Monday, Jan. 30. i he course which has been taken in the House of Representatives on the bill' making appropriations for reitaiu fortifications, indicates a de termination on the part of a few members, to delay, if not defeat, this necessary and most important •» s urc. T suppose that the etiun e. ,|j succeed w old imply the presump tion tin Congress is about to act on the principle thrown out by a mem ber in the course of the discussion, and which, if adopted, would limit the views of each to the w 1 li ,i i r( j. iymg he conceived, when we recollect that bv a late estimate the value of pro (pertv in the city of New York alone, i' one hundred millions, paying to the 1 reasury about half of the whole 2iinu.il revenue, while the Value of pro petty in the whole State of Ohio, is about fifty-nine .—Should an cnentv obtain & f the City of New to the country would involve something *more than the sacrifice of this pro- perty. As long as he was enabled to hold it, the finest harbor in the United States—the greatest inlet in to our interior—would be closed against us. 'fhe necessity fortifying such ports must be obvious to men of the least reflection. The experience of the last war taught us the value of for tifications ; we had then the defen ces n bich were referred to in debate, —the strong hearts and strong arms ofthe country—if we had had forti fications also, those stout hearts and strong arms might have been left to pursue tlie occupations of peaceful industry, and the country would have been saved many valuable lives, and an immense expenditure. Two .days have been expended in discussions on this bill The de bate on the Judiciary hill occupied three weeks. The importance of that bill justified this devotion of time to its investigation, and the passage of it will give reputation to the present Congress. But if every measure is to be discussed—day af ter day—we fear that very little real business will he done, and that the nineteenth Congress will bo ac cused of attending more to tha sound than the substance of Legislation. T. . shay, Jan. 3 1. In the Senate, the resolution pro posing an amendment to the Const i tion of the United States, on the sub ject of the, election of President and Vice President, which was made (he special order for Monday next.

His valor and patriotism have justly elevated him high in the estimation of his fellow- citizens— his brave and warlike spirit Isolds in terror the blood thirsty savage, and tyrants fear that voice which spoke to the proud European Invinciblcs, in the “ dread summons of a destroy ing Angel.” Yes—we have long venerated the name of Jackson— F‘ the defemh r ofthe Mi->i“s:ppi aid | her thousand streams.” Convinced i from the gallant conduct he display ed in sustaining “ the Eagles of hffi country”—convinced of his cr.ergx of mind, and his purity of heart, w< earnestly urg. and his pretensions fi the first office in the gift of the Amer ican people.— South Ad. IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL Extract of a letter received in Salem, trow a respectable mercantile house deited “ Rio Jaxiero, Nov. 23. It was confidently stated, about ten days ago, that the Emperor would empower Sir Charles Stuart to treat with Buenos Ayres respecting the Banda Oriental, and settle their dif ferences on such terms as might ap pear advisable to him ; and the Dia mond frigate was to have sailed this morning with him on that mission The Emperor, however, very sud denly and unexpectedly determined not to i-crept oi his mediation, and on the loth inst. published an ad dress to ins troops, which were about embarking for river Plate, that leaves little hope of an amicable settlement of our difficulties : and should Boli var come down with considerable force to join the Buenos Ayreans, which is spoken of as a thing beyond doubt, we may soon expect a serious strife in that quarter, but can form no opinion as to what the result mav be. Sir Charles was to have sailed this morning for Bahia, perhaps not pleased with tiieEmperor's course.” Death oj the Emperor Alexei ider. i he Emperor of Russia died at Tu gaurock, early in December, after an film ss of a few days.
