FERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. viarch 8. The ship New-York, cafilain Bennett, ar rived at this ppr\*yeßterday morning in the short passage pf 24 days from Liverpool.— By this arrival, London dates to the Bth of Feb. and Liverpool to the ,10th have been received. Kean, the actor, undertook to make his appearance at the Drury-lane theatre, in the character ofJltchard 111. immediately after his trial for cii'wj com/ lie was received with an overwhelming noise, tumult, and con tempt: and htnl to retire from the stage with out performing. A letter from Paris dated Jtrst of Feb. says : —lf we may trust letters from Madrid, the positive news of the recognition of the South American repttb lies by England, has produc ed a lively sensation in that capital. A passenger in t*ie New-York states, that tip tpthe day of his leaving Liverpool, Cot ton Inaint',ned its highest price, and went oft with animation. , ’* f An extract from a private letter from Pa ris,dated Feb 4, says—“l have scenthe post script to a private letter from good authority at Madrid, to the following effect—‘“The de claration of the British government as to ihe Colonies, have caused live greatest conster nation a> Court, and disconcerted all the plans of ministers. They are alarmed for the fate” of the last expedition. The King lias an nouftcod his determination tp hold no-diplo niatic relations with any PoweP which shall make Treaties of Alliance with his instir gent Colonies, and will even treat them as enemies. Let England therefore look to herself.*’ The Imperial Parliament commenced its session on .the 3d tilt. The, King being mo unwell jo attend, the folltwhig speech was read m both houses by a commission: Aft/ Lunin a id Gentlemen —'Ve are com maixled by his, Majesjj to express to you the gratification u iwch his Majesty derives from the continuance and progressive increase of that p ihiic prosperity upon which Ins Majes ty congratulated you at the openyjg of the last session of Parliament. ’1 Here never was a period’in the history of this country, when all the great interests of were at the sa.ne time in so thriv ii<4p condition, or when a reeling of content and satisfac’ion was more widely diffused throughout ail class, s-of the British people. It is no small addition *o the grawiication of his Majesty, that Ireland is participating in the general prosperity. re The outrages, tor the suppression of which extraordinary powers were confided to his Majesty, have so far ceased, as to warrant the Suspension of the exercise of those powers in most of ihe districts heretofore disturbed. Industry and commercial euterprize ex tending themselves in every part of the uni ted kingdom. TANARUS, P is therefore the more to be regretted, that association should ejjjs* in Ireland, which 1 have adopted proceedings irreconcilable i wj£i the spirit ofAhe constitution, ano ealeu- i la’ cd by exciting alai m and by exasperating ! animosities, to endanger the peace of society and to retard the course of national improve ment. His Majesty relies upon your wisdom to ‘ consider, without deiav, the means of apply- I ing a remedy to this evil. IPs Majesty further recommends to you the renewal of the inquiries instituted last, session into the state ol Ireland. ll.s Majesty has seen with regret, the in- | terruption of tranquility in India, by the un provoked aggre9siun and extravagant tentions of die Burmese government, which rendeied hostile operations against the state Unavoidable. It is however, satisfactory to find that none of the other native powers have manifested any unfriendly disposition, and that the bra very and conduct displayed bv the forces al ready employed against the enemy afford the most favorable prospect of a successful termination of the contest. Gentlemt nos the House of Commons: His Majesty lias directed us to infirm you, that the estimates of the year, will be forthwith laid before you. The state of his Majesty’s Indian posses sions, and circumstances connected with other parts of his Majesty’s foreign domin ions, will render some augmentation in his military establishment indispensable. His Majesty, however, has the sincere gratifica tion of believing, that notwithstanding the in crease of expense arising out of this augmen tation, such is the flourishing condition and progressive improvement of the revenue, that it will still be in your power, without affecting public credit, to give additional fa cilities to the national industry, and to make a further reduction in the burthens of Ins people. My Lords and Gentlemen: His Majesty commands us to inform you, that his Majesty continues to receive from his allies, and ge nerally from all princes and states, assurances of their unabated desire to maintain and cul tivate the relations of peace with his Majes ty, and with each other, and that it is his Ma jesty’s constant endeavor to preserve the ge neral tranquility. The negociations which have been so long earned on, through his Majesty’s Ambassa dor at Constantinople, between the Empe ror of Russia an<l the Ottoman Porte, have been brought to an amicable issue. His Majesty has directed to be laid before you, copies of arrangements which have been entered into with the kingdoms of Den mark and Hanover, for improving the com mercial intercourse between those states and the United Kingdom. A treaty, having for its object the more effectual suppression of the slave trade, has been concluded between his Majesty and the King of Sweden: a copy of which treaty, as loon as the ratification shall have been ex changed, his Majesty will direct to belaid before you. Some difficulties have arisen with respect to the ratification of the treaty for the same object, w'hieh was negotiated lasi year be tween his Majesty and the United States of America. The difficulties, however, his Ma jesty trusts, will not finally impede the con clusion of so beneficial an arrangement. In conformity to the declarations which have been repeatedly made in his Majesty’s name, his Majesty has taken measures for confirming by treaties the commeicial rela tii ns already subsisting between this king it< il.or* t:< ■ •nr* of America which *q-p mr have ••'■shed their . eparatdm (*; Spm • So so-.ii <-<•..to. . shall i.. v. beer r. * •<, , -.1 , di. a r yp . *il tutu, so fie Jsod fast ;. His fttyyeifty commands us not to conclude without congratulating you upon the con- Tinuetl improvement in the state of agricul tural interest, the solid foundation of our na tional prosperity, nor without informing you, that evident advantage has heft derived from the rtfKef which you have recently gi ven to commeqpe by the removal of inconve nient restrictions. A His Majesty recommenffs to you to perse vere (as circumstances roay allow) in the re moval of similar obstructions—and Ins Majes ty directs us to assure you that you may rely upon hir*Majesty’s cordial co-operation in fostering anil extending fti.o commerce, which, whilst it is under the blessing of Pro vidence, a main sourcffif strength and pow er, this country contributes in no less degree to the happiness and civilization of mankind. EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS [second SESS^O^.] HOUSE OF REPRESENTA CIVES. . Thursday, March 3. Very little business was done to-day, ex cept the signing of bills, and. receiving no tices of the President’s approbation thereof. Mr. FORSYTH laid upon the table the fdWwing resolution: “Resolved, That while this House anxious ly deinres that the Slave Trade should be de tected and punished under the law of nations, it considers that it would be highly inexpe dient tf enter into engagements with any foreign power by which nil tile merchant vessels of the United States would be expos ed to the inconveniences of any regulation of search from which any merchant vessels of that foreign Power would be exempt^i,” The resolution lies on the table. Mr. FORSYTH also offered the foliow'- ing: “Resolved, That the pure,base of land from the Indians occupying it in the state of Geor gia is a peaceable extinguishment of their ti tle—and that a purchase should be made, if ii can be effected on reasonable terms, :d ----iliougliTie residue of the tribes to which the sayfu&i..ns may be attached should not join *i n t rac t. ” also, was. on motion of the ;noWr[ordered *o he on the table. On motion of Mr. MARKLEY, of Penn, it w i#. Resolved, I'hat the thanks of this House be presented to the Hon. Hksht’ Cut, fu tile able, impartial, and dignified manner in which lie bus presided over is deliberations and performed the ard ms and important du ties of the chair, during the present session of Congress. A few minutes after Ill's vote, Mr. Clay, Speaker, having resumed the Chair, ad dressed the House as follows: ‘^Gentlemen: For the honorable testimony which you have been pleased this day to express to mv official conduct in this highly distinguished station, I pray you to accept mv profound acknowledgments. Near fourteen years, j with but two cnnipajeijvelv short interval, i the ardotisduties oftwrCliair have been as- ; signed to me In i hat long period, of peace ! and of wa>', causes from without and within, j of great public excitement, have occasionally j divided our councils, disturbed our ha/mu- j ny, and threatened our safety. Happily, however, past dangers, which appeared to encompass us, were dispelled, as 1 anxiously hope those of the presenl will We, in a spirit of mutual forbt arance, moderation, and wis dom. The debates in this House, to which those causes gave rise, were sometimes ar dent and animated: but, amidst all the heats and agnations produced by our temporary divisions, it has been my happy fortune to experience in an unexampled degree, the kindness, the confidence, and the affectionate attachment of the Members of the house. Os the numerous decisions which 1 have been called upon to pronounce from this place, on quest ioi.s often suddenly started, and of much difficulty, it has so happened, from the .generous support given me, that not one of lhgm has ever been reversed by the House.’ I advert to this fact not in a vain spirit of ex ultation, but as furnishing a powerful mo tive for undissembled gratitude. In retiring, perhaps forever, from a situa tion with which so large a portion of my life has been associated, 1 shall continually revert, during the remainder of it, with un ceasing respect and gratitude, to this great theatre of our public action, and with the firm belief that the public interests and the libertyTif our beloved country w ill be safely guarded hereafter, as they have been here tofore, by enlightened patriotism. Gentlemen: In returning to your respec tive families and constituents, I bejg ail of you, without exception, to carry with you my fervent prayers for the continuation of your lives your health, and your happiness.” Mr. NEWTON offered the following reso lution, which lies on the table: “Whereas the encouragement of Agricul ture and manufactures has ever been consi dered the best means of developing the re sources of a najion, and of giving to its Navi gation and commerce support, extention, activity and duration, and whereas opening roads, and connecting, by canals, lakes, bays, and rivers, for purposes of intercourse and trade, have also been objects ot primary im portance to every enlightened government; and whereas the U. Slates, when the fertili ty of their soil, the variety of their climates, the diversity of their productions, and the extent of their waters, and watercourses, are taken into view, will derive the greatest ad vantages from a system judiciously formed, and carried into execution, with respect to Internal Improvements; and whereas nothing can tend to generate and perpetuate (he af fection of the citijens for their country so much as the attention of live Government tliereofto whatever relates to their different interests, all which receiving, respectively, their portion of the solicitude and care of the Government, ami flourishing under its oper ation, will increase ihe strength of this Un ion, give to it stability and security, and, by diffusing knowledge, remove prejudices as to subjects, the importance of which to be politically and rightly understood, should be fully manifest; Therefore, “ Resolved, That a Department, to be nom inated the Home Department, should be es tablished, for ihe purpose of superintending whatever may relate to the interests of Ag riculture, and inanfactures, the promotion of the progress of Science and the Arts, the in tercourse and trade between the several states hv Roads and Canals, and all othei subjects and matters appertaining to the cog nizance of such Department. Mr. FLQYD required tl*e question of con sideration on the resolution, with ft view to stamp it at once with the disapprobation of the House. I’he question being taken on considering this resolve, it was decided in the negative. Mr. TUCKER, of Va. called for the consi deration of the resolve yesterday submitted by him, looking to the Colonization of the free people or color beyond the Rocky Mountains, which motion the House refused now to consider. Mr. WEBS TEre said, that, as the attention of the House seemed not occupied for the moment, he would take the opportunity of making a remark on a subject, in relation to which he had, at the last session, created some expectation in the House, and perhaps in the oountrV; he meant the question of a general bankrupt law. His relation to the House, as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary, had occasioned sundry resolutions upon that subject, and divers petitions to be brought to his attention. It would be re membered,rehat a majoritftfcf the Committee at the lust session had rWfrted against the expediency of a generaoystem of bankrupt cy. Differing from the committee in that opinion, he had signified an intention of oh tainmg, if he might make use of an expr’ * of tbe opinion of the House uponii. so sjpdh as a matte -intimately connected tire question then pending anti still pending, before the Supreme Court, should be deci ded. It was well known that the State in solvent laws, so far as they applied to coi - tracts entered into before the enactment of those laws, had been declared inoperative upon those contracts. The more general question remained to be decided,viz: t* Theih ex, such laws can constitutionly impair the validity of any contracis whether precedent or subsequent. When he called the atten tion of the House to this subject at the clore of the last session, k was expected that an earlier day would be fixed fur ihe assem bling of the Court rhis-year and t hat, in con sequence of such arrangements, the decis ion of this question njigh’ be had in season for the House to set on the subject with a full knowledge of what the exigency required at the present session. Chat arrangement, however, was not carried info effect. The bill to execute i* passed th s House, but did not get through ihe Senate, and up to this moment, he had not learned that that tribu nal hail pronounced its judgment in the case. He through! tbs’ decision would naturally be though, important >o enlightened useful and practical legislation; although, for one, ! lie vv as not of opinion that its decision, either , wm. would remove ‘ne necessity of estab lishing a general svsie.n. He remained ful ly of opinion that, in a country so commer cial, with so many states, having almost eve ry degree and every kind of connexion and intercourse among their citizens, true policy am! just views of public utility required that so important a branch of commercial regula tion as bankrupicy, ought to be uniform ■ throughout all the stales; and, of unuse, that it ought to be established under the authori ty oi this Government For his part,’ enter laming this opinion, he should be disposed to give an earnest attention to the measure, ami devote any portion of time and labor to its preparation, whenever it should appear to he the sentiment of the house that it ought to be adopted. SodllKifter this, the House adjourned sine die. IN SENATE. FninsT, March 4. At a Special Meeting of the Senate of the United States, called by written notice from tlie President of the United States, held at the Senate Chamber of the Capitol— At about half past ten o'ckjpk.the Senate was called to order. % wk* Mr. Mills, ot Massachusetts, rose and said, that the Vice President, (Mr. Calhoun) -be ing present, he proposed that Mr Jackson, of -Tennessee, being the oldest Senator now present, -should administer to him the oath of office. Tins being assented to — The oath of office was accordingly admin istered to the Vice President by the Gener al; after which ceremony, he look the Chair as President of the Senate. A short time afterwards, he rose, and addressed the Sen ate as follows: Gentlemen of the Senate: I feel deeply the responsibility of the station, to which. as the presiding officer of this body, I have been called by the voice of my fellow-citizefts. To no other branch ofthe Government has the constitution assigned powers more vari ous or important than to the Senate. With out intending to examine either their extent or character, 1 may be permitted to remark, that, while the other branches are confined, with few exceptions, to what may be consi dered their appropriate powers, to this bo dy, only, is granted a participation in all the different powers ofthe Government—Legis lative, Executive, and Judiciary. In its Legislative character, it partakes,, with the Hftuse of Representatives, in ail of the powers vested in Congress, excepting that of originating revenue bills; in its Exe cutive, it holds au important control over the powers of appointing to office and forming treaties; and, in its Judiciary, it constitutes the court before which all officers of the Go vernment may be held accountable for an honest discharge of duty; while, from its pe culiar character, as the representative of the States, it is emphatically theQguardian of their rights and sovereignty. It must be apparent that, on a wise and virtuous exercise of these important powers, the success of our free and happy system of government, in no small degree, depends,— We, accordingly, find that the framers of our constitution have bestowed the greatest at tention on the organization ol this body; and with such happy success, that it is as admira bly adapted to tho discharge of each of its various and dissimilar fudlffons, as if any particular one only* all, had been the sole object of its creation. So fortunate, indeed, is its structure, in every respect, that even time, instead of impairing, has had the opposite effect, of remedying what might, at first, be considered tke oply defect in the body. At the formatoh of the government, the members of the Senate were, probably, too few to attract the full confidence of the people, and thereby give to it that weight in the system which the constitution intend ed. This defect has, however, been happily removed by an extraordinary growth. In the short space of thirty-six years, eleven new States have been added to the Union, and twice that number of Senators to th# body; and before the termination of the next four years, the original number of States and Senators will be more thn doubled. V feet, gentlemen, that I owe an apology for t.‘‘'dung on subjects which must be fa miliar to tliis enlightened body, and also for adding, what must be known to all, that a successful discharge ofthe duties assigned by the Constitution to the Senate must de pend, notwithstanding the skill of its organi zation, almost wholly on the patriotism and wisdom of the members. These high attri butes, I however feel assured, from past and present experience, will never be wanting in the members of this body. In fulfillingyour important functions, some thing will depend on the skill and impartiali ty of the presiding officer. In regard to the former, I can promise nothing- I am with out experience, winch only can give the re quisite skill in presiding, and feel that I must often throw myself on your indulgence.- I shall, however, endeavor to compensate for the want of skill by the most rigid impartiali ty. In this office, I shall regard only the Senate and its duties, and I shall strive with’ a feeling of pride (in the,.station, I trust not reprehensible,)rto preserve the high charac- i ter already attained by the Senate for digni ty andwisdom, and to elevate it, if possible,. still higher in the public esteem. The Address was attentively listened to, and respectfully received. The credentials of the new Members of j the Senate, and of those whose term com- I jnences this day by re-election, were read. The following new Members, to wit; From Vermont, Dudley Chase, Pennsylvania, William Marks, Georgia, John M. Berrien, Ohio, Win. H. Harrison, Indiana, Win. Hendricks, Illinois, Klias K. Kane,, appeared, and, the oath of office being ad ministered to them by the Vice President, took their seats. The following Members, also, re-elected, for six years from this day. took the oath of office, viz. Mr. I.lotd, of Maryland, Mr. M-i ----con,of North Carolina. Mr. Gaillard, of South I Carolina, Mr. J. S. Johnston, ot Louisiana,! and Mr- Barton, of Missouri, i Some conversation took place on the case ; I of Mr. Lanman. re-appointed by the frover ’ norm the recess of the Legislature, the ques i ti >n being, whether a failure by,the Legisla ture to make a choice of a Senator consti tutes the contingency in which a Governor | may appoint a Senator—the language ofthe | ■ Constitution being, “If vacancies happen, by resignation or otherwise, during the recess , of the Legislature of any State, the Execu tive thereof may make temporary appoint ments,” Sic, The subject was laid over till to-morrow, to which time the Senate adjourned. On Saturday,-the President ofthe United States is understood to have transmitted to the Senate several Nominations of persons to fill the Excutive and other offices. ; Amongst other Nominations, the following are un<lerstoodto have been made: For Secretary of State, Mr. Clat; For Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Rusk; For Secretary of War, Mr. J. Baehour; Fhr Minister to Spain, Mr. A. H. Everett; For Charge des Affaires to the Nether lands, Mr. C. HuoHKr These Nominations, it is have not yet been acted upon by the Senate, Previous to*lhe adjournment of Congress, Mr. Cambrklkno, of the House of Kepre sen'atives, upon the table a ressolution calling for copies ofthe Correspondence be tween this Government and that of the Great Britain respecting our claim to the free navi gation of the Sj. Laurence. Owing to there not being a quorum of the house on the next day, the resolution was not acted upon. We understand it to be the intention of Mr. C. to move the inquiry at an early day in the next session, should nothing occur in the mean time to obviate tbe necessity for it. At an early hour yesterday morning the avenues to the Capitol presented a lively and animated scene. Groups of citizens hasten ing to the great theatre of expectation, were to be seen in all directions; carriages were rolling to and fro, and ever and anon the sound of the drum and trumpet at a distance, gave notice that the military were infnotion and repairing to their different parade grounds. The crowd at the doors of the Capitol began to accumulate about nine o’clock, and, although ladies were allowed the privilege of their sex in being admitted to seats reserved for them in the lobbies of the House ofTtepresentatives, they had to atjtpin the envied station at no small sacrifice, and the gentlemen who led and guarded them were obliged in some instances almost literally to fight their way to the doors. Towards 12 o’clock, the military, consist ing of General and Staff Officers and the Vo lunteer companies of the Ist and 2d Legion, received the President at his residence, with his predergssor, and several officers of the Government. The cavalry led the way, and the procession moved in very handsome array, with the music of the several corps, to the Capitol, attended by thousands of ci tizens. The President was attended on horseback-by the Marshal, with his assistants for the day, distinguished by blue badges, &c. On arriving at the Capitol, the Presi dent, with his escort, was received by the Marine corps, under the command of Col. Henderson, stationed in line in front of the whose excellent band of music sa luted the Presidents on their entrance into the Capitol. Within the Hall, the sofas between the co lumns, the entire space ofthe circular lobby without, the bar, the spacious promenade in the rear of the Speaker’s chair, and the three outer rows of the member’s seats, were all , occupied with a splendid array of beauty and fashion. On the left, the Diplomats Corps, in the costume of tbsir respective courts, occupied the places 9&igne(L|heau on the innermost range of seats, immediately before the steps which lead to the chair. The offi cers of our own Army and Navy were seen* dispersed among the groups of ladies, exhi biting that most appropriate and interesting of associations, valor guarding beauty.— Chairs were placed in front of the Clerk’s ta ble, qn within the member’s seats, for the Judges of the Supreme Court. The hour of twelve arrived, and expectation was on tiptoe—the march of the tioops, an nounced by the band of the marine corps,, was heard without, and many a waving plume and graceful head within beat time to the martial sounds. The galleries, though filled to overflowing, wtf c remarkable for the still- I ness and decorum which (with aver exceptions) prevailed. At 20 minutes past twelve, the M, made their appearance in blue sc:tr Ve ! ceeded by the officers of both ||jJ both Houses of Congress, who im r( J j the President Elect. He was folio* ; die venerable Ex-President and fnmj j the Judges of the Supreme Court, in 1 robes of office, and t lie members of t!i e ate, preceded by the Vice President,, i number of members of tbe House of |( sentatives. Mr. Adams, in a plain i, ! black, ascended the steps to the Sp ft ; chair, and took his seat. The Chiefj, wdffplaced in front of the clerk’s tabl^ ! ing before him another table, on the fli the Hall, on the opposite side of wh* ttt^'remaining judges, with their sa c w ards the Chair. Silence having bee ‘claimed, and the doors of the Hall c Mr, Adams rose and read, with a cleat (deliberate articulation, the address a j will be found in another part of this p j Tbe time occupied by the delivery 0 actress, was about forty minutes. as the last sentence was pronounced,!, j ral plaudit, commencing in the galleri ( | extending in a degree, throughout thet i assembly, continued for some minutes, President Elect then descended froj Chair, and placing himself on the right of the judges’ table, received from the Justjcc, a volume of the Laws of the ( Statesfflfrom which he read, in a"lota clear voice, the oath of office: at Miecl which, the plaudits were repeated, mi with cheers from the spectators who the galleries, and immediately folio* the discharge of a salute of artillery. The congratulations which then po| from every side, occupied the handi could not but reach the heart of the | dtnt. The meeting between him venerated predecessor had in it somi peculiarly affecting. General Jackso i were pleased to observe, was amoo i earlieift of those who took the hand I | President; and kheir looks and depon ; towards each other were a rebuke to littleness of party spirit, which can* merit in a rivaj, and feel no joy in the h of a competitor Shortly after one o’t the procession commenced leaving the but it was nearly an hour before the cli | ing groups which had crowded eveij and evenue completely retired. The President was then escorted bat he came, and, on his arrival at his resid received the compliments and respect! greai number of gentlemen and latlio called upon him, who alspgenerally paid respects at the Mansion occupied by tin President.
