The particular subject first in order was tho bill reported by the bank cummittee to enforce the provisions of the act incorpnr- atii.g the bank, and it was accordingly an nounecd bytueiciiairman. Mr Johnson, ul Virginia,observed that,as there were two other propositions be lore tin committee, the adoption of either of which ivou Id supersede the necessity of acting or the bill, he tl.ongiit it would be the pieler. able course erst to take up for considers tion one of those propositions; ami he moved that the committee proceed to con aider the resolution moved on the 9lh inst by himself, in the following words: “Resolved, That the committee on the judiciary be instructed to*report a bill to repeal the act entitled “an act to incor- pm ate the subscribers to the bank of the Unil*d States, n passed April 10t,h I81G.” The cum.iiiitee agreed to take up this resolution; which was read. Mr Spcaccr rose and stated, that he ow ed it to the civility of Mr Johnson, that, in violating the usual custom on sucli occa sions, which allowed the mover ol a pro-' position to commence its discussion, he was sanctioned by the assent of Mr John- Mr. S. uegged leave to remind the coinniitt'-euiatthere were three d i'tinct pro positions before it; thefir-lwas the resolu tion of the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Johnson;) the sreond was that he liau the honor ofsubmittingsomedays since, direct ingthe issuing a seire Jaeins. it the Dxi.kunJ not on.a certain day express its assent to a modification of its charter; and the third was the resolution of his friend from K.c tucky, (Mr. Trimble,) directing a scireja rius absolutely and unconditionally. Mr [ ^observed that he should prefers modifi .ation of the chatter, even if it should by some he esteemed a new compact, to to total destruction of the bank, with the views and apprehensions be entertained at present of the consequences of such a measure, if the committee sh»al(i reach the resolution he had submitted, it was h ntention to modify it; iu some respects particularly to omit the third propositiu which proposed giving the president tn power of removing any director; ami li should in other respects amend Ins pro|ros itions, as time and reflection had enabiei him, he thought, to improve them. And it the committee should reach the bill re ported by the select committee, Mr. S. ub served, lie should, with the approbation ol the gentlemen composing tl-at cummittee submit an amendment which would re quire the stockholders, ccnstitatiug an at torney to vote lor them, to swear to thi ownership of the stock. Mr. S. thought proper to apprise the committee of these in tsntions, that the subject might be fairly 'Considered. For the reason before staled, Mr. 8. said, he should at present vote* gainst the resolution for the repeal of the charter, and against that directing the is- suing of a szirefaciasi but. if he should not succeed in at least die plan of the propo "itioiis he had submitted, although h >.ik! decided as follows:—yeacfO; aays Tl .so thrt part of Mr. Taylor’s motion was decided in tie negative. je.tion was then taken on the re- wainv'g «l-iune of said proposed amend- f.rot. i : the following words: ‘-.•Voit all children born of slaves within vh-*i'd territory, shall be free* but may be. held to service until th« age of twenty-: five years;'' .InJ decided t* fellows'—yc;^ 75; nays ,■ f o that part or Mr- Taylor’s motion was agr rd to.

A debate has at length commerced io the house of representatives oo the sub-, ject of the bank of the United States; which we apprehend will, from its length, seriously encroach on tne short remainder of this session, and stifle many of the im portant bills which have been presented fur consideration.—ib. should not bu tenacious of each particular -me, he should feelit his duty to vote for «iVefacias, unconditionally. Mr. S. proceeded to make explanations if some expressions in the report. The redark, that “the principal business of the -bank certainly.has been to discount on notes secured by a pledge of stock, iable to misconstruction. ^The eipres sion used does not convey the meaning of the committee; it was either an inadvert- ance iu the draft, or an error in copyiug, ire believed the expression originally was, “a principal part of the bfi.mess* etc.” and it was intended to confine toe remark to the business of the bank at Philadelphia, which'was sometimes loosely designated a* the bank. With icspect to the busi ness ol the bank ami all its offices, it w-ou*d appear, that about one-iourth had uniform ly been discounted on pledged stock; while .it Philadelphia the discounts on.stock had frequently very n rarly equalled tnosa oh personal security. Witn regard to the expression, in the close of the report, that '■whatever differences of opinion can ex •ist among them, (the committee) as‘t<> the •result and inferences to be drawn from •the facts stated, they unanimously concu •in giving to the preceding statements of ‘facts, and abstracts of documents, their .unction.” Mr. S. observed, that lie thought the expression sufficiently precise, but he understood it was liable to a raisin- structiuu. When inferences were min gled with facts, the unanimous sauc- t.on did ,not extend to these infer ences; but, that, in all cases wherever a fact was definitely stated, the cora‘ “littec meant to sanction it. Mr. S» remarked, that the report had been pre* pared at a time of severe ifiiltgppsition, and when the committee had' been fatigued and almost exhausted with labor, aqu lie should not be surprized if many erroneous xpressious were foupfl’inTf. '* .Mr. Johnson, of Virginia, then rose in upportof the resolutionunder con s idem- tf. ii, and addressed the committee about »n hour. Mr Pi.idall, of Virginia, followed on the same side, and spoke nearly two liouis in • ivur ol tie pow-.r in congress to repeal the charter, aud the expediency of doing III. Mr Lowndes then intimated a wish to t.ake sqnie remarks on the subject, which, lata i^.it was, he wuuid proceed to do, at mce, ft the committee weze disposed now to hear him; but if they were desirous of i:.g ne would give way. A moti .'i o. ing made to that effect* the couniiitice ruse, aud I'li.- i.oj.e adjourned. (^.nfort sounds a dull word to those an acc-Ualomed to five upon enjoy* incut. SUP KEMP. COURT.

They owe to him and t -cm the permrnenlfixtureoi tiieseatufgov- erninent, and the restoration of tie- public buildings it contains.

In the senate, the bill providing ior the sale of public lands for c.vsh. ar.d to reduce the price, by law, from gdfo gi 50, was yesteday ordered to be eugrossedfer a third reading. This novel proposition, original ly introduced by Mr. King, is likely to pasi that body; but it will prouably be arrested in its passage through the house of repre -sentatires. We understand that thi committee who repotted the bill were nearly unanimous in its favor.—ibid From the Ifaehinglon City Gaxettr, Feb 19. We regret exceedingly that so many ol oUr friends are about t.. retire from pub lie life, in which t- ey have been so useiul Col It. M. Johnson' Gens. Ueslia, Hat rison, anil Laccck, and many others, w are sorry to find, are to quit the nationa councils at the expiration of pie presen session. With these gentlemen we hav been long acquainted, .and have niarke their parliamentary career with great in rerest, and contemplated their general conduct with much satisfaction. Their usefulness has beea often tested, ami their patriotism lrequently proved; and they will leave behind them, we tear a chasm it will be difficult to fill. It is oi such men, so honest, so faithful, so patri otic, we can rely with safety, in the hour of danger and difficulty; and ip is from such men we may always expect whatever there may he of purity and honor in man. Col. Jeluisou has been, for many years, in public lile, and Iks devoted his best day and his best exertions to the welfare and prosperity of bis country. That country cannot and will not be ungreateful. H13 virtues and his usefulness must be held 11 estimation wtlile patriotism is revered anil virtue admired. It is but rarely we uu-ei, in puhlicliie, with a heart so pure, so gen erous, so devoted to the service of humani ty', and so absorbed m the interests ol country. O11 all occasions, we have seen him stand forth the defender ol the inno cent, the pr otector of the oppressed, the enemy of inyusticr—the soldier, war-worn and weather beaten; the widow? helpless and indigent, and the orphan, frieudle-s and unprotected, have always found in him a friend ready to aid and soli-ci ous to suc cour them. It he err, it is on tne side nf virtue. Is the glory of hts native land implicated? you see him spreading dismay and death among3t the enemies' ranks, to avenge the injuries ofjiis couutry, and add tresli laurels to the brow of rep-ibliran vir tue. When he has discharge .1 the <lu$ he owed to his country as a wurior. you do ot see him wasting hi* time in iugiuiious ease; but staunching his wo'iads while pro noting the intefests of the community ii. tiie councils of the nation. Such a man cught uot to be lost to the country: it becomes the duty ot his state, which' he has «o faithfully, so uselully, so honorably represented, to call him from that station of domestic tranquillity to which it seems to be Ins wish to retire, and to place him m a situation iu which his use fulness may n»t be lust. Generals Desha and Harrison too are ;cntlemen for whom we profess to have a ery high respect, and on whose merits and exertions too much cannot be said thev liave deserved and will receive the ratitude and esteem of their country, for hich they have done so much.

Wealthy, Bailey, from St Barts, was boarded, January 12, by thi schooner Belloca, commanded by Joseph Bellogarde, a native of Gaudal-iupe. Iler decks were covered with ruffians of all colours. She sheered close along nidi without hailing—the captain giving or ders, in French, to man the boats, and board the schooner. Observing us tu b Amerirans. he directed an English negro 0 with the boat,and to act a. an inter preter.—On one replying, in French, thri we could make oursrlves understood with out an int.-ryroter, the captain to ik up « loaded mu-ket, and discharged it amon-; us, aiming at a spot oo tiie quarter deck where were standing together the master, the mate and the supercargo of the Weal thy, oliseiving iirsmrdiafely, in French— “Here is the best interpreter.” A fortu nate roll of the vessel prevented conse quences that might have been fatal: tftr ball penetrated" the quarter boards, and was stopped by a wet studding sail which hung in several folds over the rail to dry. A gang of despecadoe* immediately threw theiu-elves on board the Wealthy, with drawn cutlasses, tore off the hatches, and proceeded to search the hold—after a little time they returned to the piratical schuuoer, ssying this was not the vessel they took her to be.—From some Irish sailors who were among their boat’s crew the name of the pirate and her command er were obtained. They informed further more, thrt the Five-Islands was their place uf rendezvous, whither they tied taken aud gutted several *ot their prizes—six nights afterwards captain Joseph Bello- garde, venturing privately on shore.at St. Bartholomews, was surprised and tak en liv tne government on charges ef sever al acts uf piracy, and especially f..r the illegal capture uf a vessel belonging to a merchant ol that island.
