Mr, Eaton admitted (hfl correctnn“? of the principle of (he bill, iri the ab stract ; but m g , (1 to shew that so vital itinovafton in the principles, the structure, ami system of, the common iw, woold produce more mischief than it would remedy or avert; that it would offer impunity to fraud, Xtc. Mr. j'ucon advocated the object of the bill, which he should support, if it could be so guarded, us to relieve the honest debtor without affording facili ties to the knave, to defraud his credi tor. lie maintained that creditors huve rights, entitled to protection, as well ns debtors, and these he would not impair further than to exempt from imprison ment those who honestly surrendered their property to pay their debts. Mr. Talbot zealously supported the general principle of the bill—stated his objections to the amendments which had been suhmitted by Messrs. Van Bm.ti.en and Taylor, and offered an amendment himself (embracing several sections) the object and effect of which he explutned fully. The hill was then, on motion of Mr. Barbour, (who wished an opportunity to offer some remniks on it) postponed until to-morrow, and the amendments offered to-day were ordered to be print ed. Thursday, January 16. Aflerdisposingofsome minor buimess, by postponement, The Senate resumed the considera tion, in committee of the whole, Mr. Smith, of Maryland, in the chair, of the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, and the amendments offered thereto. Mr. .Mills, ol Massachusetts, rose, and entered at large into the questions pre sented by the subject—submitting the reasons why lie could not go, and argu ments against going, to the extent pro posed by the bill ; the difficulties which would arise in the practical operation of so broad a measure, the embarrassments in winch it would involve our establish ed and nicely adjusted system ofjurispru- dence, &c. Mr. Barbour, of Virginia, took the opposite ground, and, in a speech of more than an hour's length, elreiiuouiy main tained the justice and expediency of the proposed measure, in its greatest lati tude, so far at least as regards the or dinary class of debtors, but excepting all those who become debtors, by any of the various ways which constitute breach es of trust—which latter he looked upon as criminals, deserving punishment, ra ther than ns unfortunates, entitled to commiseration. Of the substitutes offer ed to the bill, he preferred that pro posed by Mr. Van Boren, excepting its feature ol prospective application, which he objected to, ar.d maintained the justice of making the bill applicable to all debts, past and to come. When Air. B. concluded, the hill was postponed to to-morrow ; and The Seuatc adjourned. Friday, January 17. The Senate again went into committee on the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt—Air. Smith, of Aid. in the chair. Air. Smith, of S. C. rose, and in a speech of considerable length, opposed the bill in toto, and replied to its advo cates. lie vindicated the principles and the wisdom ol the common law, and op posed any innovation upon it ; contend ed that there Was in this country no such thing, in reality, ns imprisonment for debt, but if there was, the states were competent to remedy the evil, if it was one ; maintained that creditors had rights as well as debtors, and that the latter, nine times in ten, deserved no IN SENATE. Tuesday, Jan. 14. The joint resolution, introduced by Mr. Taylor, of Virginia, proposing an uur.ndmeut to the Constitution, received Its second reading ; and On motion of Air. Barbour, it was or dered to be referred to a Select Com mittee. The Senate resumed the ccnsidera- Vion of the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, and the amendments offered thereto bv Air. Van Buren. These amendments, es before stated, •embrace a variety of provisions, which are, substantially, the following ; 1st. They make the act prospective, so os not to interfere with the remedies of the parties upon existing contracts. 2d. They except from the exemption secu red by the act, all cases of moneys re ceived by public officers, and, generally, all cases of moneys receiv ed by persons acting in a representative character.— They also except all cases of action brought for torts. 3d. In tin excepted cases the amendments provide, that if it shall be made to appear to the court, that the money for which the suit was brought was either corruptly received or fraudulently withheld, the defendant shall lie subject to actual imprisonment, without the privileges of the jail now al lowed, until the debt be paid, or the de- fendent discharged by due course of law. 4th. They authorise urrest and bail when it shall be made to appear that 'here is reason to believe that the defen dant is about to depart from the United iffntes. Air. Johnson, of Ken. rose and addres sed the Senate about two hours on the general merits of the measure he had proposed by this bill. Before Mr. J. had concluded his remarks, he gave way foi a motion of adjournment ; and, some time after three o’clock, The Senate adjourned. Wednesday, January 15. Mr. Loxerie, from the Committee of Finance, to whom had been referred the bills from the other House, respecting '.he further regulation of the entry of merchandize, and to moke perpetual the act of 1U17, which continued in force the act of 1815, respecting the collection of duties on imports, reported the same —the latter without, and the former with, an amendment. The Senate then proceeded to the ap pointment of a Select Committee, for the reference of Mr. Taylor's proposed amendment to the Constitution ; and Alessrs. Taylor, of Va. King, of N. Y. Macon, Dickerson, and Smith, of S. C. were appointed the Committee. The Senate took up the resolution iffered yesterday, by Air. Johnson, of Louisiana, proposing an inquiry into the expediency of so amending the act es tablishing a Territorial Government in Florida, as better to secure the rights of lie people thereof. In submittiug this resolution yester day, Air. J. observed, that the Commit tee on the Judiciary had been instructed, a few days ago, nt his instance, to inquire intn the propriety of mollifying the act of the last session, providing for the estab lishment of a territorial government in Florida, so as to grant the right of appeal I corn, ni;seration, » s their want ol principle to the Supreme Court of the United | °.

OCCUPATION OF COLUMBIA RIVER. The, House took up ttic hill making pro vision for the occupation of the tuouth of Columbia Ilivei—when Air. Celden proposed to amend the bill by- striking out (ho words “and required,” in the first section, and inserting in lieu there of, the words, “ when, io tint opinion of the President, it may he consistent with the public interest.” In support of this amend ment, and oil the general merits of the hill, Air. C. delivered Ins sentiments at consider able length. [Mr. C. is iu favor of the prin ciple of llie hill.] Mr. .Mallory opposed this amendment, though lie approved and strenuously main tained the policy of the occupation of the Columbia river. Mr. Tracy went at considerable length in to the merits of the bill, and against the po licy of this government’s ad opting, either on prineiplu or from expediency, such a mea sure. Air. If'ood followed Mr. Tracy, objecting to the measure in the main, as unnecessary and inexpedient. Mr. Coldtn then, after a brief reply to some remarks which had dropped from the gentlemen opposed to the bill, renewed his motion to amend hs above stated, which he had withdrawn, to give gentlemen an oppor tunity of presenting their view s uu the prin ciples contained therein—and the question being taken, there Were In favor of his amendment, 4tl Against it, fit Air.

Wednesday, .Tan. !5 AMENDMENT of the constitution. Air. Re id of Ueorgia, rose, anil said that the bill providing for the execution of cer- tnin surveys, and for the collection of topo graphical information, with a view to a sys tem of internal improvements, was yester day ordered to lie upon the table, by a vote of this House. I was, said he, one of the committee by whom that hill was reported, and, although quite willing to afford the Hon. Chairman of the Committee an op portunity to make an experiment, the mea sure did not altogether meet my approba tion. Aly objections to the bill arc not to he found, however, in constitutional scru ples. I believe that Congress dues possess the power to establish roads and construct canals. But, I am aware, that there is much diversity of opinion upon the subject. A large portioc of the people entertain the npi niun that we hare not the power, und the duel Magistrate has recently expressed his convictions to the like effect. Under these conflicting sentiments, 1 do not believe that any system of internal improvement, how ever well devised hy Congress, would be llicient, because concert and harmony tablish himself ry, and pursue any mechanic lie ground therein, two hundred man between eighteen and forty-five years of necessary to its prosperity. It would seem elf in said territo- therefore, that our first step should be a set-! nected with the dignity, the prosperity, “ The tinder : art or cultivate ' tJtnient ofikxs ijucstion.

With the view, therefore, of referring them generally to the committee, lie had offer ed the resolution. The resolution was adopted. The Senate then resumed, in Com- niiice ol the Whole, the consideration of the bill to abolish imprisonment lor debt, under process from the U. t>. courts —Air. Smith, of Aid. in the chair Air. Juhnsod, of Ky. concluded ihe speech he commenced yesterday in sup port ol the general principle of the bill, and on the amendments offered thereto. Air. Holmes, of Alaine, offered an a- rnendment to the details of the hill, and some explanatory remarks. Air. Mills added t-nme remarks to those he before submitted, principally on the details which it was proposed to give to the bill. Air. Taylor, of Va. submitted, pretty much at large, his views of the bill — the general principle of which he decidedly advocated—and concluded by offering a substitute, which would provide guards that he deemed necessary ; and w hich would, lie argued, supply nil the bene fit that could he provided by bankrupt and insolvent laws, united, while it would avoid die delay and other objections to which the laws wore liable. Mr. Holmes, of Alaine. spoke a short time, on the practical effect and opera tion ot the bill, and of the substitutes proposed—avow ing himself favorable to the general principle, ami suggesting such provisions, ns he thought would probably accomplish it, so as to produce the most good with the fewest disadvan tages ; (or he despaired of framing such a law as would exclude from its benefits the fraudulent, while it protected the li berty and rights of the honest. Air. Van Buren delivered an argument ol more than an hour’s length, in sup port of the bill. He laid down the prin ciple that imprisonment for debt, as prac tised in this country, is inoperative as a remedy, unnecessarily rigorous, unjust, and ought to be abolished, in regard to debtors involving no fraud or breach of trust to the public or an individual, and this principle he defended with much earnestness. He reviewed the different amendments offered, pointing out the de fects of those offered by the other gen tlemen, and sustaining the expediency ot adopting the princioles anil provisions embrnced in his own substitute. When he had concluded. The hill wa= laid on the table, on the motion of Air. Van Dyke ; and, about 4 o'clock, The Senate adjourned to Monday. from the time the Indian liile shall have been extinguished as aforesaid. See. 4.

And be it further enacted, That the sum of fifty thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby, appropriated, to carry into effect the provisions of this hcI, out of any money iu the Treasury, not otlierw ise appropriated."

Woodstock in the chair, on the bill to provide for procuring the necessary surveys and estimates for certain Roads and Canals.

This joint resolution received its first read ing amnies ou the table. A respectable correspondent Jins furnish ed us with the following translation of an address hy the Alurquis La Fayette, to his constituents, at the close of tin* lute election of Deputios in France. La Favettu wus a candidate in the District of La Sarthe, and wrir. opposed by the influence of the govern ment, hot without success.
