Smith replied tlmt he had three ,la\s ago in his place, given notire to the I louse, that he should, ns soon as the dis cussion of the Missouri Bill had been brought to a close, move to take up the appropriation l ills. lie had moved now to take them up bemuse the public ser vice was suffering for the want of appro priations. liectated further, that though it had never been the usage before, it had always been hi- practice, since lie had been chairman of the committee of ways and means, to give notice when lie should call up appropriation bills. Mr. Clay (Speaker) explained the rea sons for the change in the practice ol the House, by which the orders were called regularly as they followed on the doc- quet of the House. He then expressed tiis hope that the committee would rise : the Missouri bill in fact was not yet dis posed of, and until it was, lie for one, was unwilling to go into any other im portant business. The bills before the committee were those, on which the great question was to be decided, of how the deficit in the Treasury, whether hy taxes, loans, or otherwise, was to he supplied. The House was not now in a moral condition for the consideration of such questions. I ft* not only wished the Missouri Bill to he first finally disposed of. but really he wanted a day’s rest for the body as well as the mind, after the settlement of this agitating and laborious subject. He hoped, therefore, the com mittee would ri«?, with an understand ing that it would t.rke up the appropria tion bids on Monday. Mr. Smith said it would be very un wise in him to press the consideration of these hills, contrary to the w ish< s of the committee.; and be therefore acquies ced in the mcriion for the committee to rise. Mr. S. took t! is occasion to say, that he hoped he was pot consider"*! un der any necessity,‘from the situation whirli he occupied, of tefendinr any measure nr any appropriation. He con sidered himself here a member of the House, and would freely* exercise his o- pinion on all subjects whatever. The committee then rose, and obtain ed leave to sit again. FRIT*AY, MARCH 75.

The Speaker declared this motion out of order, for the reason a.-signed on the first application of Mr. Ran dolph fit this day.

Mr. Archer, of Yirginin, seconded the motion. The Speaker having ascertained the fact, stated to the House, that the proceedings ofthe House on that bill yesterday, Imd been communicated to the Senate, bythe clerk, and that the bill not being in possession of llu* House, the motion to reconsider could not he maintained. Whereupon, .Mr. Randolph submit ted da* following resolution: Resolved, That, in carry ing the bill entitled “Ah net to authorize the peo ple ol the territory of Missouri to form a constitution and state government, and for the admission of such state in to the union on an equal footing with the original states,” after a member from Virginia had given notice of hi> intention to move a reconsideration of the question dei idod last evening, in the interior ofthe country, war, cut off.

In liic-nalionn) distress, occasioned hy the dentil of the late King, and the Duke of ,t, and the illness ofthe new Kir g. George the 4th, all remembrance of the Kaiticais DEATH OF THE KING. [Fro/a Mr Iemdun Courier of January ffl.] On Monday last it xvas our melan choly duty to communicate the sat! tidings of the Duke oI'Kk.nt’s death. To-day, one short week only elapsed, vc announce the parting struggle of Ids venerable Sc much lamented Sire. Father and son—the Monarch xx hotn we have loved—and the Prince whom, as oar Monarch, we might have had equal cause to love hereafter—both are gone!—Dcnili, indeed, lias had a frightful harvest in our palaces.— Scarcely two y?avs have elapsed r and four generations have descended to the lo.nb. The nation’s errief had’bnf begun to soften down into resignation, after the untimely withering of our Ja- nranted Princess and her first horn, when our gracious f.i'.n Lowed be fore the inevitable destiny of man— and now her husband Si her offspring sleep xvith her. These are visitations that make men think and tremble.— They force the most unreflecting to bestow at least a transient thought up on what awaits themselves. The last hour must come to us all. When it shall come we cannot appoint: hilt ! lio.v it shall find us, nnd-what conse quences it shall bring with it,are things within our rontrnul. V\ e cannot say that the death of our revered anti venerable Sovereign has come upon us suddenly—his age, his infirmities, and the common rumour ofthe last t\v/x or three weeks, must have prepared the whole nation for the ai'Uieiing event. Yet, it seems to be the condition of our nature, that no preparation can whorl*, arm us against the shod; which follows tiie dissolu tion of those xve love. Their loss leaves the mind in a state of dreary desola tion. Hope can no longer cheat us xx iii) her blanuishmentg—self-delusion can no longer flatter—tiie object of our affections lies dead before us; and alas! the dead cannot he re-auimat- il. A thousand tender recollections ofthe past rush upon our memory, only to aggravate sorrow for what cannot lie restored, and to increase re gret for what cannot be roc riled. Thi®, we are sure, will he the feel ing of the country under its present loss. Never did the sov ereign of any people, sink into tiie grave, so loved, so honored as the gracious Monarch \7hom v.c how deplore, iCor party rage—nor political animosity—nor disappointed ambition—nor baffled in- trigue—no—not even disaffection it- sdf. w -nr- ever heard to breathe a whis per that could sully the blameless ptt- rny of his life. Those who hated Kings, were yet forced to confess, that he was incapable of provoking hatred. The virtues of the man disarmed the enemies ofthe Monarch; and tor years past, none spoke of him but in the af fectionate it emphatic phrase of “Our Good old King.” Yes—and if his name shall go down to posterity with any epithet to mark his character—let him be called George the Good, nnd our children’s children to the latest ge neration, will learn from that one word, why w e loved him. 'J he virtues he deli.allied in were Heahnuse was J n f George Iff. were to he traced. The simplicity of his manners, when lav ing aside the sometimes necessary pomp and dignity ofltis station, form. e*l a striking and pleasing contrast.-— He w as gracefully familiar with those whose rank permuted their approach to the Royal person, and benevolently eondescending towards others xvho hail no such privilege. A thousand amiable anecdotes are upon record op floating upon the breath of popular tradition, which, as long as they are remembered, xvill pourtray the good? ness of his heart. The pious wish lie expressed (only a short time, we be- liev e, before the alienation of his mind) “ that he hoped to see the day when every child in his dominions would he able to read the bible,” ought, of it self, to carry down his name with rev erence to the latest posterity. YVc hardly wish to withdraw the' veil which has so long shrouded Ids daily course of life from the gaze of curiosity. The circumstances, if dis closed, would he read with a deep ami melancholy interest. Imagination, in deed, may half supply the reality. YVo can conceive the aged Monarch, ig the solitude of his visual darkness, wandering forlorn Hi helpless through the apartments of that Palace where, in happier times, he had passed so many hours of his blameless life. To h avc been permitted to view him un- dcv' suett* circumstances, would have softened the most obdurate heart, while, it must have inspired all kind-* lier mitures with a profound sense of their common infirmity. The virtu ous Monarch of a mighty Empire, so sorely stricken by the hand of Prov idence, that had he been vouchsafed the favour to choose, he would have exchanged conditions with the ntean-5 a st peasant in his realms^ was a spec tacle, whose sublime and touching mo rality, might employ tire pen of a Hossuet or a Flechicr.

[From the Constitutional.] The following is an extract from the Bour- ffi-aux Journal, the Indicator ofthe 1st Feb ruary. “ The number ofthe insurgent tri.'.p* i«f much more considerable than was at llrst- uunutinced. “ It is now said that there are from 100(10- to 16.000 men occupying the Isle of Leon, where they arc fortifying themselves. It is added, that they are abundantly provided with provisions and money. “ Gen. Frey re had not yet put himself in march against them on the 17th. The fear of a defection on the part of his troops 'ap pears to retain him at Seville. This fear, is not perhaps destitute of foundation, if it he true, as x\< are assured, that in a first ren contre the* iiey.it Artillery had ranged itself on the side ol lire, malcontents. “ General Freyre has addressed, in the name of the.
