Several Ame rican ships having arrived in that country wit,i curgoesof tra, some time before the arrival of the Dutcii East-lndia Company’s ships, the government agreed to take Un- American cargoes, to dispose of them at the autumn, i sales, in order to supply the demand of the market until their own arrived. In the mean time some Dutch tea ships came in, and the government then refused to p r- mit more than half of the American teas, (»a_v 28,000 quarter chests) to be sold according to agreement; in sisting that the sale, of the remainder should be put ofi till the spring. The Americans complained heavily at this proceeding, and were under apprehensions that should others of the Dutch Indiamen arrive, the saie of their teas might be postponed indefinitely .—Mrfuli Urdu Vie understand, that the United States’ mother Bank is neurit ready to commence business, and that in the course cf four or five weeks, the branch in this city will also re ceive deposits and commence their discounts.—A'u.s- 1’ork Gazette, 18lh inst. A tolerably spirited debate is now going on in the house of Representatives, on the proposition to amend the constitution, so as to establish a uniform mode of , ’.loosing representatives to congress and electors of pre sident and vice-president of the United States. The subject is of sufficient magnitude to justify the t>me be Stowed on it; and, for .reasons which have been ably and fully assigned in the debate, we wish aMtct.3 to both branches of the proposition. In the senate, but little legislative business has yet been transacted. Let it not therefore be supposed that that hodv is idle. It is not always tiie multiplicity of moth ns, orthe prolongation of-debates, that denotes a close at tention to legislative business, which is always acccleral ed rather than delayed, by the proper digestion by corn mittees of the several subjects referred to them. When the committees report, the business is so far matured (no unimportant object) as to present itself in the best shape for discussion.—J\l*z. InielligeiJer '20th instant. It will probably be sufficient to attract the attention of most of our readers to the report on the proceeding page, that it relates to the Compensation haw; on which sub ject, it is the first document that has been submitted to the public. It may be viewed as an exposition cf the mo- fives of those wfio supported tiie measure at the last ses sion, but now think it proper, from the many expressions of the popular feeling on the subject, to modify it in such a manner as to divest it of the features which have proved obnoxious. The gentlemen who compose the committee of the house, which made this report, are Messrs. Johnson, of Ken. Findley, Webster, Pitkin, ILs- sett, Cady, and Reynolds. The report is characterised by' an ability, as creditable to the houce itself, as to the committee winch is its organ. —»&. 21s/ itisian:. It is stated that general Scott, “during his residence in France and England, made a large collection of mili tary books, and that he is now engage ! in completin book on po.ire, principals* from French authors, for the army of the United States.”—Fed. Guw.tte. It is stated in a late Petersburg'paper, that "general Scott was ofrcreVtthe department of war, which lie doe! in ed.” We are certain that this intimation is incorrect, if we had no other reason for believing it than that we are sure our government would not desire to *e the army deprived of an officer of general Scott’s merit and active Ciinn;cixT.—j u ulioiiul InUllirencer.
