When he attended, lie took the Vice President’s chair, and the Vice President took that of the Secretary of the senate; one or other of the Se cretaries occasionally accompanied the President on these visits. The President addressed the Senate on the questions before them, and in ma ny exercised a power in respect to their proceed ings, which would now be deemed entirely in compatible with their rights and privileges. This practice, however, did not long continue. An occasion soon arose of collision of opinion be tween the President and the Senate, on some nomination, and lie did not afterwards at tend, but communicated by message what he de sired to lay before them.’ At this period the Legislative as well as Ex ecutive proceedings of the Senate were always transacted in secret session ; and the public on the part both of the government and its n.” c Gazette of the Two Sicilies contains the I Decree, bestowing upon the princeTalley- the dignity of a Neapolitan Duke, by the of Duke de Dino.

On this question we find the yeas and nays registered, nineteen members having voted for it, and eight against it. From the day of this triumph of popular prin ciples, the Senate has gradually parted with the character of reserve, which appears to have be longed to it. By the increase of its numbers from the admission of new states into the Union, its legislative business has become so laborious, that its peculiar character of an Executive Coun cil is almost overlooked, notwithstanding the great importance of this feature in our govern ment ; and the debates in the senate are of much greater length, at this day, in proportion to the numbers composing the body, than those of the House of Representatives.—-JYflt.

It seems that three highwaymen had built a rail leiice across the road, behind which they had contealed themselves, and on the stage driv- ing up they leaped from their concealment and presented their pistols at the driver and a Mr. Ludlow, a passenger, threatening tliem with dc- - (.ruction if they made any resistance. The senger says “ we were carried some distance into the woods and tied to a tree, and the robbers then commenced searching the mail Every letter was opened and all the money taken out; they shewed me a large bundle of bills, anti I much fear tire loss will be found very great. They, were from eleven until three o’clock, busily em ployed in opening the letters. After they had done this, they tied us to the back of the waggoB, mounted tluce o! the horses, and galloped off to wards Baltimore. They were at! white men— bail their faces blacked, and neither of them ap peared more than thirty years of age.” On the following morning two persons of sus- picioUjS appearance were arrested in Baltimore. They called at a store to purchase some clothes, and upon their bills being presented they showed a large quantity of money. Arrangements were to keep them in waiting until notice was given to a magistrate and officer, by w*om they were ar rested and carried before Judge Houstort for ex amination. The amount of bills, drafts and checks found upon them, is said to be 820,000, principally of the branches of the bank of the United States, south of Baltimore, and a great many lottery tickets. The two fellows are jour neymen tailors belonging to Baltimore. They were ironed and sent to prison. One of the rob bers remains to be heard from. The post-master at Havre-de-Grace has taken steps to recover the letters left in the woods. 8ome months since (May 1816) we announced Mr. Binns’ proposals to publish a splendid edi tion of the declaration of independence, with medallion portraits of the individuals who signed that memorable instrument and fac-similes of their signatures. As it was promised that in thi9 undertaking every article should be of domestic manufacture, much delay was to have been ex pected but as the editor is apprehensive of com- blaint, he has made an address to the public which should conciliate the captious and silence all who are impatient. Mr. Murray, the principal artist who is engaged on this occasion, states, that all his associates are “ anxious to do the best in their power,” each in his own department; and he adds that it would be injurious.to theengrav- ing to press them with respect to time. The edi tor of this very expensive work must have calcu lated largely on the patriotism of the country, and we hope his drafts will be honored, not mere ly with a banker’s punctuality, but with the lib eral spirit which aught to be .roused on the dis play of the charter of our liberties. We do not call thi3 a national undertaking, because the phrase has been too mGrh blown upon ; it has be come as common as a barber’s chair, and the sound produces upon our ear about as much effect ns the bellman's invitation to one of our Colum bian exhibitions in wax-work. As a specimen of the state of the arts this sheet will be valua ble ; and it must be contemplated by every A- merican with enthusiasm, as the record of one of the Lt.ost important events in the history of mail j an event which exhibits the proudest triumph -of political philosophy, which awakens theory from ler dreams and bids her behold a reality surpas sing the fairest visions of speculation.—F.

General William M’lutosh, commander of the Creek regiment, on the 12th iqst. took prisoners fifty-three men and about one hundred and eighty women and children, belonging to the camp of Cunchatec Micco or Red Ground Chief, on the Chiiubullee creek.
