of the bill to repeal certain parts of the Pe
nal Code, (abolishing Penitentiary imprison
ment)
Mr. A\ionan, from the joint committee on
Agriculture and Internal Improvement pre
sented a report, which was agreed to by the
House.
Mr. Cone called up liis resolution, which
was read, amended and agreed to as follow s,
to wit:
Whereas the stationing of a guard of regu
lar soldiers at the point where the Suwannee
river crosses the Florida line would tend
much to the projection of the counties of
Appling, Irwin, Wayne and Camden, by se
curing those counties against the predatory
excursions of companies of Indians from be
low, therefore Resolved, that Ills Excelled
ey the Governor lie requested to endeavor
to procure from the. Secretary of War or the
commanding General of this Division oftlie
United States troops; the stationing of such
guard at the point aforesaid, as w ill he sutli-
cieulto answer the purposes herein contem
plated.

imbursc owners for the loss of such as may
be capitally punished.

proceedings against the queen commenced,
fcioiim apprehensions Were entertained thntu
majority of the peers were disposed to de
cide against her, which had i ncreased tile
public ferment, and considerably ularined
those of their lordships who are favorable to
hei cause us to the result. The same gen
tleman stales that an ollicor in the army Imd
been cashiered at Birmingham, for toasting
the queen’s health ; and that this had so ex
asperated the people, that they had formed
the resolution of chairing the ofliccr through
the streets.
Lord Holland, in the House of Lords, ap
pears to have called the attention of their
lordships to the political situation oftlie con
tinent of Europe, which, he observes, had
assumed a warlike and threatening aspect,
dangerous to the liberties uf those countries
that bad lately asserted their national rights.
He. concluded by requesting ministers to
state, if they had any official communication
illi the Austriun government on the subject,
id wliat was its import. In reply, Lord
iverpool said that it was no part uf tile poli
cy of the British government at this time
uid under present circumstances, to inter-
re with the internal government of other
lutes, and that no engagements to that ef
fect existed. This he slated with the rc-
rvation, that he would not fetter the dis-
i'etion of the government, by saying wliul
course might hereafter be pursued. No
new letters df credence had been foi w arded
the British minister at Naples—and it ap
pears, by an extract we have given, that tile
ministers from the new Neapolitan govern
ment,wore not ip-be "accredited in England

Addresses continue tube presented to the
Queen. A numerous meeting oftlie Cutlio-
e body was held lie London, the -Hit Oct.
it which an address to her majesty wus u-
ua/iimuusly voted ; thus affording a complete
refutation of the insinuation, that tile Catho
lics in general were disposed to compromise
their loyalty to the Queen, in order to uli-
aiti a recognition of their natural rights.

that the new Neapolitan Ambassador to the

As an incipient stop, the appointment of a
Civil and Topographical Engineer, of capa
city, and Consider-ddo experience,js respect

should be to ascertain with precision, the
particular rout, points and situations, for the
best locations oftlie proposed improvements,
by furnishing drafts and plots, with explicit
written de.vciiptions and explanations, from
actual surveys and levels, and submit the
same annually to the Legislature.
“ With respect to the particular litrtde.in
which the resources of the stale might be
most advantageously applied to such qb
jeep-, that must necessarily vary according
jo the. object and existing circumstances at
the time of expenditure, and may he provid
ed for by la v, from time to time, under the
adv ice and direction of the Civil Engineer.
With the foregoing remarks yourconmiUtijj
ask leave to refer to the bill reported to
