A second survey of the route for n Canal in the W.nlr.of New York, from Ogdenshnrp on the St Lawrence river, to Plottsburg on Lalce Cham' plain, has recently been completed. Tho plan is found to be perfectly practicable. The distance of the canal line wili be 143 miles. The Presidents Message, was published from Vbo newspaper offices at Baltimore within five hours uftcr the reading of it was concluded nt the Capitol. The distance between the two places is ■39 miles. It will he seen on referring to the proceedings in Congress that tho abolishment of imprisonment for debt, has thus early in the session of the Na. tlonnl Legislature, excited that attention which its importance demnnds, and as there can be no ex ruse for want of time to discuss the merits of the subject it Is to be hoped that something definitive •will be arranged to meet the views of all parties.

F. F.

By the proceedings of Congress which wo this clay publish, it will he seen that they have unitedly paid thc highest com pliment to Gen. La Fayette that has ever been offered to a living individual in this country, or perhaps in any other. This is giving La Fayette a good oldi cordial rev ulutionary shake of the hand. All this is very wclh hut we trust that Congress are prepared unanimously, to shew some morn substantial token of national regard. We hope that they will bcginVheir legislative career by a unanimous resolution to this effect, and shew that Republics so fur from being ungrateful, anterior to all otk cr business manifest their gratitude to their benefactors. The resolutions that ‘Congress now adopt, will from the moment of their pas sage, make a part of American history and we trust whatever is done, will he unanimous. La Fayette’s revolutionary services arc entitled to remuneration I Should Congress bestow on this hero what is his due, the muse of history will record thc fact in ln:r archives, and it will not be forgotten. The testimonial will hereafter produce other La Fayettcs; and when a similar crisis shall await other nations, our example will be brought forward as a proof that ingratitude forms no part of thc Republican character. IN SENATE. «jv-- Mr. Barbour, from thc Joint Commit tee appointed to consider and report what respectful mode it may lio proper for Con gress to adopt to receive Gen. Lafayette, made the following report: “The Joint Committee propose that each House adopt its own manner of re ceiving Gen. Lafayette. “ The Committee Senate recommend the Senate invite General Lafayette to take a seat, such ns lie shall designate, in the Senate Chamber; that the Commit tee deliver thc invitation to tho General and introduce him into tho Senate, and thc members receive tho General stand ing.” In delivering this Report, Mr. Barbour stated that the JoiqJkCommittce, enter taining every wish to make tho reception of General Lafayette as complimentary as possible, yet found difficulties in the way of any arrangement for n,joint proceeding, which were i\;>t easily removable; and it was therefore thought by thc committee best for each House to adopt its own ar rangements nnd its own form in thc re ception of that distinguished individual. The report being read; it was Resolved, unanimously, That thc Senate do concur therein. On motion of Mr. Barbour, it was Ordered, That tho Cotnmittce have leave to perform the duties nssigned to them by the aloregoing resolution during the sitting of thc Senate. The committee accordingly withdrew. In pursuance of the motion made yes terday, to appoint a joint Library Com. mittee, Messrs. Dickerson, Elliott, nnd cause of our country, hi tect committee. 11.

Soon after the General was seated, Mr. Barbour moved that the Senate ad- pectinga a Treaty, was, indeed, received by them standing, uncovered, ns in the present case, but even lie was not attend ed and introduced, as La Fayette has been by a Committee of the most venera ble members of the Scnato.
