The motion wa« agreed to.
The Mouse then took up the resolu
tion, as above reported by the joint
committee on the Missouri subject.
Mr. Clay brieily explained the views
of the committee, ami the considerations
which induced them to report the reso
lution. He considered this resolution
as being the same in effect as that which
had been previously reported by the
former committee ot thirteen members;
and stated that the committee on the part
of the Senate was unanimous, and that
on the part of this House nearly so, in
favor of this resolution.
Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, deliv
ered his objections to the resolution, on
the ground of the defect of power in the
Congress of the United States to author
ize or require the Legislature of a state,
once admitted into the Union, to do the
act proposed by Ibis resolution to be tie
m inded of the Legislature of Missouri.
Mr. /Jroan, of Kentucky, replied to
the arguments of Mr. Adams, and defend
ed the resolution from the objections set
up against it. He earnestly invited the
House to support the resolution, and
thus to end the distracting and painful
controversy respecting Missouri.
Mr. Adams spoke in explanation.
Mr. Allen, of Massachusetts, next ob
tained the lloor, and delivered his senti
ments with much earnestness, and pret
ty much at large, in opposition to the re
solution, on the ground as well of it*
terms, as of hostility to the tol«ration of
slavery ir. at.v shape, or under any pre
tence, by the legislation of Congress.

Mr. Allen concluded by moving to a-
mend the resolution by striking out the
word citizen, w herever it occurs in the
resolution, as above printed, and to in
sert in lieu thereof" free negro or mu

Mr. R. Moore, of Penn, then required
the Previous Question, believing that this
subject had been so long debated, as to
require that it be decided, in one way or
that the said bill lie on the table, which
was rejected.
Mr. Honks then moved, that tbe first
section of the .aid hill be stricken out—
when Mr. Cobb moved that the said lull

([/“ After a session unusually boisterous,
Congress adjourned, when the last moment
of liieir constitutional term had expired, in
perfect harmony. We rejoice that the ran
corous spirit w Inch marked their proceed
ings until llie settlement of the Missouri
question, gave place after that event to feel
ings of kindness and good will. A deter
mination to retrench theexpenees of Govern
ment were properly persevered in to I he
last, and a [eduction of expenditure for the
army, navy, Ate. to considerable extent was
Lffected.
Whether owing to il|-humour produced
by the Missouri discussion or from what oth
er cause, the otlieiul reports of the heads of
departments were more stiirtly scrutinized
than usual, and the conduct of the Post Mas
ter General scarcely passed uncensured.—
We have seldom seen any thing more se-
verely or justly satirical than Mr. Floyd's
remarks on a nqiort from the Secretary of
War, contained in his speech which we
this day publish on the reduction of the ar-
tnulhur, without further coutuuipiiou of j my. Mr. F. is a stern republican of th* old

after making a retrenchment of expenditure
to the amount of one and a half or two mil

On alt important questions, the represen

pear to have discharged well their duty to
their eonstituents and to their country. The
friends of Mr. Cobb, though unsuccessful lit
the last election, may well be proud of the
suffrages they gave him. Always an active
and able member, he was unquestionably
during the last session aiming the most ef
ficient of the distinguished body to which he
lielonged. The vole he received in the se
lection of the committee of 23, for adjusting
the Missouri business, where he stood se
cond only to Mr. Clay, is evidence of the high
stimalion in which he was held by the
House of Representatives.

which was received too late to tie published

Wasiiingtoic, March 1.
The effect of the settlement of the
Missouri question is already perceptible
in the comparatively rapid progress
which has beeo since made in the des
patch of the business before tbe Con
gress. The resolution for the admission
of Missouri into the Union has finally
passed both Houses. Several measures
have already passed in review, which
never would have been taken into con
sideration during the suspension of that
question.
We have to congratulate our readers,
that the bill for the relief of certain pur
chasers of the public lands, as it was a-
mendedin the House of Representatives
want* only the signature of the President
to become a law.
The bill for the establishment of a uni
form system of bankruptcy has beeu ta-
keu up in the House of Representatives;
and, after a sitting till past seven o’clock
last night, unusually arduous, aud in
which, on many questions, the strength
of the House was tried, the probability
appears to be in favor of tbe passage of
tbe bill.—sAfot. lnt,
March 5.
The session of Congress terminated on Sa
turday night, in good order and in perfect
harmony. Both liouseswerc adjourned vine
die, at a quarter bclure one—but no biismcs*
mere form of Hie enrolment and signature
of some of the bill*.
A list of the Arts which were pasaed dur
ing the session will lie found in the preced
ing page, belie* ed to lie complete. That list
shews the results of the session so distinctly,
that no regular account of the business of
Saturday is thought necessary. An account
of some of the most interesting incidents
will be found under the proper head, and
some are mentioned below.
The first in importance, is the fact that til
hill to establish an Uniform System of Bank
ruptcy did not pass. It was pushed, by the
irresistible force of the Missouri question, too
near the verge of the session, to be finally
acted on, althomth a disposition friendly to
it had bren manifested. Mr. Sergeant mov
ed to lake it up oil Saturday last, but the
house, by 70 votes to 68, refused to con
sider it. Several friends to the hill voted a-
gainst taking it up, on the ground that there
was no probability of pressing it to a derision
on that day, even with the aid of the previ
ous question, which, on a hill of this descrip
tion, the house would hardly have sanction
ed.
The hill to reduce the annual appropriati
on for the gradual increase of the Navy from
one million to half a million, and to extend
it from A to 6 years, became a law. An at
tempt was made by Mr. Barbour, and failed
by one vote only, (67 to 66,) to limit the ap
propriation thus reduced, to 6 years instead
of 3 years, with a view to building and hous
ing the frames of the v essels excluding for
the present any provision for their equipment.
Tlie annual (Military appropriation lull had
nearly been lost, by a conflict between the
two houses on the item of appropriation for
the expence of fortification fur the current
year. The House uf Representatives fixed
upon a sum ot two hundred thousand dollars,
smeif) ing the particular objects to which it
should he applied. The Seuate struck nut
the whole, and proposed to insert in lieu
thereof tile gross sum of four hundred thou
sand dollars. To this amendment tWMouse
of Representatives disagreed ; ant) aOhn-
I’erence was the result, which ended, just h«-
fure 12 o’clock, in the Senate’s receding
from that and other amendments of the bill.
The details of the bill providing for the
occupation ofFloiida, and for the.settlement
of claims according to the Treaty with Spain,
gave ri-e to much debate : hut the hill final
ly became a law. Tile territorial appoint
ments of commissioners under the Spanish
Treaty, may be made by the President of
the Unilwi States in the recess of Congress ;
and the act passed at so late an liouroa Sa
turday night, that no noininatioit^Kcrc
made under it.
The loan bill has become a law. When
it was under consideration, in the House of
Representatives, a motion was made to
strike out four and insert five so as to make
the loan five millions five hundred thousand
dollars, instead oi 4,J0U,UU0 : tint the mulion
vvai negatived. In the Senate, the loan was
vvitn
much rcloctamtefl hcHo.jJJ ; id last agreed.

The inauguration of the President of the
United Stales, whose second term of service
commenced yesterday, took place according
to previous arrangement. The Oath of Of-
tire having been administered to the Presi
dent by ( hief Justice Marshall, lie deliver
ed the Speech which will be found in the fol
io tv ,.lg page.
The day proved very unfavorable fur the
attendance uf spectators, there having fallen
during the preceding night, a good deal of
snow and rain—notwithstanding which, an
immense crowd throng, d the doors of the
Capitol, The number of persons tv ho oh-
tained admission within the walls of the Re
presentatives’ C'hanilier(gallery of course in
cluded) could not have been less than two
thousand.
There w as not much form about the cere
mony, which, in truth, requires no hum but
the forms of decency and decorum—but tile
scene was not loss impressive. The Presi
dent was pieced on (lie platform in front of
the Speaker's rhair—the Chief Justice stood
by his side during the delivery of his Spn ch.
The Associate Judges, the President of the
Senate, the Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives, the Heads of Departments, and
many of our distinguished military and na
val officers, were near him. Assigned to
their proper places were tbe members ofthi
v arious foreign legations. The seats in tilt
interior were principally occupied iiy a nil
meriius collection of ladies—and all round,
above and below, were countless numbers
of the People, of whom, w ithuiil discrimina
tion, as many were admitted, after (he Indies
and privileged persons vsere seated, as the
room could accommodate. On die entrance
arid exit of the President, the Music of tbe
Marine Band enlivened the scene, which
was altogether characterized by simple gran
deur, and splendid simplicity.
St is vs«SI, considering the great crowd
which filled tbe avenues to the door of the
Representatives’Chamber, and pressed on
wards fur admittance, that no accident oc
cur red to msr the enjoyment of those who
had the pleasure to vv ilnrss this Duly Re
publican ceremony.—.Vat. lnt.

Missouri—U lint of Missouri ?—i< the
tir«t inquiry in every circle. And the
anxiety which dictates it, is honei.ihte to
those who make it. Hoiv gratifying will
it lie, therefore, to those whose lir-t ob
ject of patriotic solicitude is the union
and harmony of the republic, (o learn
that the portentous struggle which has
been so long maintained on this subject,
i*. at length, terminated :—A resolution
having passed Congress for the admission
of Missouri, on conditions so reasonable
that no doubt can be entertained of their
fulfilment.
On this happy termination of a ques
tion, which, at one time, threatened even
our national existence, it would appear
invidious to advert to the motives or the
conduct of those by whom it was agitated
and maintained. Such a review, how
ever, might not he without its useful
ness. But, for our own part, we are
willing to forgive and to forget. And, if
no similar attempt agaiust the best inte
rests of the American nation he made,
we are sure that a magnanimous people
will remember the history of this plot
only to he thankful that its aims have been
frustrated.
This great triumph wre owe to the
force of that seutiinr.it of patriotism,
which perwadea the United States with
out distinction o! name or place. The
people did not rhuse that the public tran
quillity should be so lightly jeopardized:
and although the spirit of freedom which
animate: the whole nation had, in some
tty, been excited in favour of a cause
which did not deserve such an ally, yet,
that good sense which also seems so dis
tinctive a feature in our national charac
ter, has finally given to this generous im
pulse its proper direction. We are con
vinced, therefore, that notwithstanding
the well-directed efforts which have beeu
made both in the House of Representa
tives and in the Senate, and notwith
standing the seif devotion with which so
many patriotic members were willing to
sacrifice themselves to the misguided
zeal of their constituents, the cause fi
nally triumphed by the change which
had taken place in the public opinion.
But let us nut be understood as wish
ing to detract in the smallest degree from
Ihe merits of those, who, in Cungiess
and out of Congress, have persevered,
in good report and in ev il report, in pro
moting the success of that cause whose
happy termination now fills us all with
gladness. No: their efforts will always
he held iu grateful remembrance by
their country. And it is but justice to
say, that, it is by their efforts that good
sense aud patriotism have finally pre
vailed.
Il is, also, due to many who opposed
the compromise which has at last been
adopted, to express our sincere convic
tion that they acted rather under the
impression that they were consulting the
wishes of their constituents than the dic
tates of their own judgment : and it was
observed by those who have witnessed
the whole progress of the discussion, that
many of those who voted against the ad
mission of Missouri, appeared to yield to
lone in their satisfaction at the result.
As to (he conduct of Missouri respec
ting the condition which is proposed to
her, we have no anxiety. The views
and feelings of the people of that slate,
have been greatly misunderstood. They
may, perhaps, want that measured tone
md expression which belong to older
slates : hut, in real attachment to the
union, the .Missourians yield to none.—
And so tar from cavilling for the unim
portant provision of her constitution,
which has been the unintended cause of
so much discussion, Missouri will always
lie willing to prove by every honourable
aerifice, that although the youngest
member of the union, she is not the least
mindful of the high ntid sacred duties
which that union imposes.—Messenger.
The Bankrupt Bill, after havinr passed
Ihe Senate,and being at its Last stage in the
House ol'Uepresentatives, was yesterday laid
on the table Iiy a very small majority.—
There is so little cliancenf its being railed
up again at tiiia period of the session, that it
may be considered as lost.
It is not to he inferred from this result,
however, that there is a disinclination in Hie
bouse to a proper measure of this kind.—
The fact is otherwise—and we consider the
passing of the bill by the Senate and the se
veral decisions respecting it in the house «s
indicating almost a certainty that at the next
session a bankrupt law w ill he enacted by a
large majority.
There are many who approve of an art of
tkis kind, lint who object In that part of Ihe
principle of the (Senate’s hill which limits its
■ peraiion to merchants and traders—and
there are others w ho object also In -type of
I the details. But, tile lateness of the hour at
a Inch the hill came to the house did not per
mit any alteration in these particulars. The
question was whether the trill should he tak
en ns it was, or deferred until there should
he time, at least, for jverf'-ctiiig it. And
when it is considered linn dr irahle it is that
a Imv which is to hue so important a bear
ing upon the community should receive the
deliberate, nod thorough examination of the
popular branrliof the legislature, there is un
dnuhtcdly strong ground for the delay.
The suffering which this delay will pro
duce is indeed most sincerely to be regret-
lnt. But the thousands who have fur so ma
ny years looked forward to Ibis measure,
almost without hope, may find sums 1 conso
lation in suffering n little longer, with tin'
bright prospect of relief which now opens to
their view.—Ibid.
SUPREME COURT.
Satcrdav, March 3.
Mr. Chief.Tusfice Marsiiai.l delivered
the opinion of the Court in the case of
Cohtr.s vs. The State of I'irginiu upon the
motion made bv Mr. Barbour to duiniss
the writ of error, argued by that gentle
man and Mr. Smyth (or the defendant iu
error, and by Mr. Ogden and Mr. Pink
ney for the plaintiffrin error. TheCoort
sustained its jurisdiction, upon the ground
'hat this Cuuit possesses an appellate
jurisdiction from the final judgment of
the highest court of law or equity of a
state having jurisdiction of the particular
cause, although such state may be a party
to the cause as defendant in error, where
is drawn in question the validity of an au
thority, Am. exercised under the consti
tution, laws, and treaties of the United
States, and the decision of the state court
is against the validity of the authority,
Ate* claimed under the constitution Ate.
Mo.-vdav, March 6.
Mr. Chief Justice Marshall delivered
the opinion of the Court in the case of Co-
hens vs. The State of Virginia, thut the Cor
poration of the City of Washington had no
right, under the art of Congrras authorizing
Lotteries in that city, to sell the tickets in
any stair of the Union, by tlio laws of which
the sale of tickets, not authorized hy an net
of the state legislature, are prohibited.—Tbe
Court deem it unnecessary, in the present
case, to express any opinion whi ther Con
gress could or could not legalize the sale of
tickets throughout the Union, of a lottery es
tablished in the District of Columbia, if the
legislative will had be< n expressed to that ef
fect. The judgement uf the state court was
therefore affirmed.
By the treaty just concluded with Spaio,
the western boundary of the United States
is described as running up the Sabine river
to tlie Sid decree of longitude, thence due
north to the Red river, it then follows the
coiirse'of that river till it it intersected|hy the
meridian line IWU degrees west from Lon
don, or S3 degrees west front Washington—
thence due north to the Arkansaw river.
This treaty supposes that Washington is
exactly 77 degree* from London, u berms it,
is 77 degrees it miu.; so Hint if this line is
marked as 23 drg. west from Washington,
we shall gain a strip of territory li miles
wide and 360 long, containing 4600 square
miles, which would make n stale as large as
Connecticut. On tbe other hand, if Lon
don be the meredian from which we must
calculate, the U. Stales lose that territory.
Map of Florida.—Mr. Wm. Darby
has now in the hands of the Engraver, a
Map of Florida, which will be ready for
publication in about 20 days. The Map
will be accompanied w ith a memoir, con
sisting of about 50 octavo pages, giving
a brief view of the boundaries, extent,
natural features, climate, and seasons ;
indigenous and exotic vegetable produc
tions ; and the towns, villages, and popu
lation of the country at this epoch ; to
gether with the treaty of session. The
map and statistical account are drawn
from tlie beat documents, aided by the
personal knowledge of the author—Such
a work, if well arranged and executed,
will be a useful and opportune produc
tion; as little is know n on the subject
of tbe geography of thia interesting re
gion.
The Map extends so far west ns to in

THE MARKETS.
The citizens of this section of country,
have rea-on to deplore the reduced
price* of Produce, particularly of Cot
ton : but, upon reflection, on the fortu
nate circumstances, which enable them
to receive 10 or 12 cents a potinJ, when
compared with the prices of the agricul
tural production* of the north or the west,
this will be found to be an exceedingly
advantageous price. In the western
states, where Cotton cannot be grown,
Planters are compelled to raise provision
crops, by the sale ot which, to furnish
foreign necessaries, for their families.—
The price of these provisions is reduced
so low, in all markets, foreign and do
mestic, that Cotton at ten cents, is a rich
crop, compared to them. For instance,
Flour, after being transported 1600 miles
by water, to N. Orleans, 3 a ban el ;
and if not ihe prime quality 4 1 ; port,
iu the western part ofN. York, at U*
per hundred ; which is equal to Bacon
at 3 or 4 cents. Flour in Havana, at J ^
a barrel ; and Bacon in most of the South
ern markets of the U. States, at d to b
cents per pound. A levelling principle,
it has been heretofore remarked, is pro
gressing through the woild, and if peace
and good order continue to prevail, still
greater revolutions in prices, wages,
salaries, and compensations, may he ex
pected to take place.—Tee Dee Gaz.
