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. [Daring the prouros of this speech, Mr Al in was mites! to order by Mr. Trimble, because Hi-cussinK not the q teslion before the House, Sut a question decide t at the last session.

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 lie on the table.

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.

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.

(Jy® The President’s Inaugural Speech. which was received too late to tie published in to-day’s paper, shall appear in our next. 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. v * March 0. 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. Geuruetowk, Fell. 28. 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 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 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.
