[from oca COHUKSPOXI) ENT. j yT WASHINGTON, Jan. 19,1830* ~ In the House of Representatives, to-day, a Dill was reported from the Committee of Ways and Means, to amend the act imposing additional du. ties on imports. This Bill proposes a reduction of the duties on certain articles brought into the ports of the 11. S. from foreign countries. Two motions wore made—ono to refer it to tho Com mittee on Manufactures—the other to postpone the cousidointion for a fortnight. The latter pre vailed, nf or some discussion, Mr. FIIiIiMORC, tho representative from Buf falo, o lie red a resolution calling on the President of tho United States for information respecting! the capture and destruction of the Steamboat Caroline at Sehloaser, and whether the capture was authorized and avowed hy the British Au thorities or officers or any of them ; and what stops have been taken hy tho Government of the United Stales, to obtain satisfaction from Great Britain on account of said outrage. The House retusod leave to present the resolu i lion. There is a general desire to prevent any I premature discussion on the subject, or any other | connected with our relations with Great Britain, Tho House resumed the consideration of the ! Mississippi election case, and Mr. Prentiss fm- I ished his aide and eloquent speech in defence of *Wie claims of himself and his colleague. J ! Tn the course of his argument, Mr. Prentiss laid down three propositions in icgard to the facta of the n<at) i Ist. Thai Messrs. Claiborne ami Gholson ncv» i or wore eloototl co >slitutionally members ot the 1 2f>th Congress. 2d. If they were elected at all, it was only for j the period anterior to lire regular election in No- j vein her. 3d. He and bis collearr - had been legally and constitutionally elected by the people of Miss. I as members ot the House in the 25th Con I gross. j They had found themselves met at the thcosh liold by the recent decision of the House in fa- i vor of the sitting members. He examined this decision with much minuteness; and maintained five positions in reference to i't Ist, That the adoption by the House of the Je cision in favor of Messrs. Claiborne and Gh dse-n was not a judicial decision, hut the expression of otic opinion suljccl to revisal. 2d, That it was no adjudication of the claims of the present applicants. 3d. That so far as the protented adjudication wcn'jto annul the act of Mississippi, it was null and void, the House having no nneh power. i Mil. That the decision was not binding on ) the people of Mississippi, who were not parties, I and had received no notice ofit. slh. That that adjudication had been given j upon a mistake of the facts of the case, and that I ut course it was subject to review. 'J hese points he argsed with great alclily and j eloquence; ami finished with a most animated I , appeal to the justice of the House. Mr. Word, i his colleague was then informed by the Speaker 1 that the House would hear any thing he wished j to say, hut ha declined for the present, as Mr. , Prentiss had no fully spoken on all the points in- i volyetl. 4lfcL FOSTER of IV. Y. followed in support of ; the rlairns of Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson ’ j and before any question was taken the House adjourned. The Senate was chiefly occupied with private ,| bills; tills being the day alloted to that business. |, The bill for settling the claims of the Execu- I j trix ol Richard W, Meade was passed.

Cannon balls have been thrown on Grand Is- j c land lor a week past, occasionally, but it is he- j t cause the British arc so poor gunners as to he ( aide to lot un Island of IiUO acres. Last night an assault on Chippewa failed for j 1 want ol steamboats, which did not arrive as ex* j 1 peeled. I'o night there is a talk of spiking the [ Urilish cannon.

Sen LOSS Kit, opposite Navy Island, j) Friday Evening, Jan. 12, 1838. 5 % Dear Sir, —At the distance of 500 miles it is impossible lor you to imagine how infernally wic ked, that “long, low, black” Navy Island looks front t!ic \rno<t«au shuro. Thoio i.i an CAlcnt about Grand Island that gives it an appcaiance of respectability and security, but Navy Island, with its dark forest, its precipitous shores, its fearfully rapid current, and more than all, its pokerish looking batteries, has an ugly, piratical look from this side—how then must it scorn viewed from tho olheil Mr. Mackenzie’* son arrived yester day morning from Fort Malden. I could learn but lit!’ le from him. He reports there were 700 only it th? time of his leaving. At 12 yesterday Van Rei.y«cla.‘’ r soni an express to Buflalo, prob ably to hasten the steimiboat. Some grand move *is in preparation. It **’ surmised tliat a union is to ho effected in a few Jays, between the two pa triot armies, leaving a garnC’n o n l^9 Island.

He has failed eve. ry way—has, perhaps, involved two nations in a bloody war, and been indicted by the Grand Jury of Niagara county, for murder, ami as a murder er ho will ho demanded by tho Governor of this State. He is aline man personally; a gentleman in his manners, when he chooses to he, and is speaker ol lhe popular branch of the Provincial Parliament, chosen though by Gov. Head’s pack ed majority Alt yesterday volunteers wore crossing to tho Island in small boats, as tho Barcelona has gone up to Black Rock to repair damages. About 50 crossed over. The Marshall, tnd his rifle guard, stationed near tire landing, do not interfere, ex co| t to prevent arms and ammunition from going over, but they have enough of both. I am informed by gentlemen from the east tint between this place and New York city there arc not less than two thousand volunteers on the march to join tho patriot forces. They come from the’ eastern border of the stale, and from . New England and 1.0 ver Canada. All along | the grand canal, the people resting for the winter • I have nothing to do but be pariotic, and they are ijso to a man. Throughout the empito slate the . conversation at every store, in every bar room, [•Udu around every fireside, is the war in Canada. of the revolution fight their battles over j again, and by stories of their own achievements, a j incite their sons and grandsons to arms, and tight c j for liberty. Fond mothers, too, and loving wives, and affectionate sisters, do their share, and forget the terrors of war in their dreams of glory! But I must hasten to tell you all the new-'. A party of United States troops slept at t o falls last night, on their way to> Fort Niagara, which is to he strongly garrisoned. Noble fellows they are tot new teeuils, and despising the luxury of a bed,each man wrapped his blanket around him : and with the hate floor for a couch, and his knapsack for a pillow, slept soundly till break of day. No one but the commandant can tell how ma ny men ho has on the Island. You arc only al lowed to ao trom tire landing to head quarters, and straight bock again, lire men arc all well | and hearty, and bear miraculous the hardships j and taliguiug duties of the camp. Fine fellows, ! used all their lives to luxury, have borne it like old campaigners, and gained flesh upon it. In j dee I there is hardly a man on the Island lhat is j not twi nty pounds heavier than when he enlisted. ; The man who was wounded on Wednesday, j was not so badly injured ns might he, as it was l frozen dirt torn up by a cannon shot, and not by lire shot itself. He is a brave fellow and one of the best ma ksmen in the army. Major Chase, a brave young officer from Ro chester, had a fine adventure on Wednesday night. A little, low, black, eight-oared gig, came ! out from Chippewa and started round the Island I I’hev were seen, and the Major, saying nothing, ; |i>iukc<l out a crew, armed them to the teeth with 1 pikes, cutlasses, pistols, and tomahawks, and star ted in another boat. The race boat your regattas all hollow—it was fur h!e and victory. At any j time, and especially in the night, the pursued have the advantage —they, consequently, but a barely escaped. ® P. S. Two hundred and twenty-five of the 22d Royalists have arrived at Chippewa—making a v regular force of about 400. There was a little fir ing last night—hut no damage was done. As t near as I can learn, the loss on the o her side falls short of 20 in jail. The sharp shooters on the I-latnl fjjiaML oil whom ver they have a chance, WTdom*.

This has lioen done , in compliance with a request from a meeting of the citizens of that place. The Insurance Bank * was also requested hut declined. Wo shall pub lish tomorrow a statement showing the condition of both banks. I “The United States Magazine and Dcmocra'ic c Review,” the periodical which wc noticed yester day as having just bom issued at Washington city, is the first attempt we believe ever made ia the Un'led ,Stales, to connect literature with the , party politics of the day. This work, whale by I devoting a considerable number of its pages to lit- * craluro, it endeavors to sccaru the attention and confidence of all parties, is nevertheless to oar minds, nothing but an instrument to ho used in j building up the political fortunes of a particular j par ly by the els Nation of its leaders. The politi- 1 cal department of the paper is to bo “Democratic’.’’ Wc do not understand the meaning of this | vvor 'i, wh ch seems of late years to have becouie the step-stone to political elevation. As used, in the work in question, it is applied to the friends of Jackson and Van Buren’s administrations, and the object of the work is evidently to support that party; hut whether the loco foco Democrats or the conservative Democrats,wc cannot divine; bu t judge from the fact that it is cmbcl'doUed with a print of Thomas Ji. Bentomin the act of making , the speech, commencing with the boastful and I exulting declaration, that “solitary and alone, j he put the expunging “bali in motien,” we infer i that 'he work is to ho loco, foco. This fact is j sufficient to condemn the ‘-Democratic Review,” lin our estimation. A work which desires to j commend ilsell to the American people, should come to us with some other countenance than | that of Benton in its first number; or at least I sheuld ■cprnsent him in some other character [ than that of the champion of tire desecration of | the records of the American Senate. Wo are quite pleased with some oftbo articles i in the literary department of the work, & were it i disconnected entirely from ephemeral party puli -1 tics, and the support of men in whom we have no confidence, and devoted to tire advocacy, in il s | political department, of the broad principles Os j republican government, as antipodal to the gov ernments ol Europe, thereby giving it a place in ! the affections ol the whole people, we should | rejoice in its success. As it is, w« commend ir | to those whose taste it may suit, and with a pro j miso to extend to its publishers that justice which ! is duo to political opponents, and to deal with it 1 in iboi ol ceitiuUui which ttieir efforts may : deserve■ The Agent is now in Augusta, at Mrs. Faber’s i on Broad street, where ho can be. seen by those | who desire to patronize the work.
