Mr. JonnsoN, of Kentucky, offered the follow ill:: Item)lotion : Resolyrtl—That the Committee of Commerce and Many facteres I.e instructed to ingnire into Slit expediency of pro. riding by law fur clothing the Army and Nary of the United States exclusively in America■ Manufactures. In offering ibis motion, Mr. JOHNSON said it would not be proper for him to detail the facts, or advance the reasoning which led him to the conclu sion that the measure he proposed to inquire into was expedient. Hut he should say, that 11.1 should not have titer t, ; ,ht of introducing this restillition, if he dui not believe the cloth of American manufic titre could be obtained at a reasonable rate, Due of the objections to making a provision by law, such as 1w contemplated, and the only objection whit appeari7:l to him to have any force, wa., that by destroying the cfltnrtition between doinctiric and foreign articles, the awernnient would b e o bli g ed to pay higher for the same aiticles than they now do. But it would be seen by Gentleuien that such augmentation could only be momentary ; and, Mr. JOHNSON said, the competition of the American mailufact men. among Outwit! vt a would he so great, he had no doubt, as to give t;.e article to the Go verimieot at the lowesi possible price. The prac tice of the War Department, already, was to give a preference to the domestic fabric; but that pre ference .:as given with reference to the cost of the article— a system which produced not only uncer tainty, la cause of the fluctuating state of the foreign market, hut tinceitaiiity, consequently, to the calculations of the inimulacturer.-111 relation to the navy, Mr. JonNsos seirl lie did not know that his project was practicable ; if it was, it would be necessary pt., haps to give a discretionary power on this head to the Commanders, when ou foreign stations. But lii• 1,41..41 no objection would he matte to all inquiry on the subject, and that the Committee would favour the house with an early Report. The motion was agreed to.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY no, ism We sincerely congratulate the country on the approaching restoration of its freedom, and shall not qitarrel with the Ministers of the Crown shout the motives that now influence their conduct, iu the happiness we experience :it once again breath ing the air of liberty. The Bill for revealing abut may be emphatically called the Act of the last ties siren, was passed heist night in the 1-louse of Com mons ; and so eartiett seem the Ministers that it should, a i l iit the shortest time poss:ble, receive time Royal Assent, that the Luau CuAncut.i.on, with a few other liters, remained long offer the dispatch of business in the House of Lords, that the Bill might, after having recuived the assent of the Commons, be deposited in the Upper House, ready to receive its final sanction on Saturday next. We lament that a day should unnecessarily intervene to prevent that oork ; lent since the re storation of CHARLES 111 it lies been unusual for the 1-lonses of l'arlianient to meet on the anni versary of his hillier's murder, and therefore the Commission could not alt this day ; lent to our minds the anniversary of t!,ot event could not be snore imposingly solemnised than by the appear ance of Majesty performing an act of public justice to a whole nation. iu retuning to it the enjoy ment of freedom. In the discussion in the /Inure of Commons on the Bill of Repeal, Lord Fuld:arose proposed a clause for discharging all the recognizance* that had heels entered into, under the Suopenrion Act ; but after an animated debate this clause eras alstn doned, in ennoluence of it promise wink. by the ATTORNLY-(;ENLIAL that lir will wove fr their discharge. 11'e could hat , wi.lied that the tut Xi Ft ton of the EX4-11EQUIA hail been equally explicit upon another point of great national interest—the re p tinn of es*ii ',spinet& by the Bank of Esuzlsiul.

And thus the country is left as much iii the dark us ever. %Ve fear that the Bank of England continues to possess a power in Down ing -street too extensive for the welfare of the c nu try, and altogether inconsistent with the dignity of the Government. In the concerti. of vulgar life, we are disgusted at the humility to which extrava gance ;aid roily can bend the most haughty mind ; but what words can express the indignant feelings of a great people when they behold the Crown, as r.- pre►ented by the Ministers, stooping to its own agents, and, with deference, receiving their sugges tions as commands ! A Treasury Journal of last night says, that upon the appointment of Mr. Runt Nsom to lee Treasure r of the Navy, the salary annexed to that office has been reduced front four to three thousand a-year, lied that he is to have a seat in the Cabinet. The office of treasurer of the Navy has not been considered one of those entitled to have the ho nour of a seat in the Cabinet attached to it. Mr. SHERIDAN'S talents merited a place there. They were, at least, equal to Mr. liontssoN's; yet Mr. SHERIDAN. as Treasurer of the Navy, felt he could not aspire to that dignity. Lord Nlct.- VILLE, who preceded him, was a Member of the Cabinet ; but then it wes iii right of another office. The Treastirership of the Navy lie face tiously called a mulch-cog, it not being attended with those Cabinet dinners and other State ex prises that run the salary of office dry. lf, then, Mr. Itontsautt must have a sent iii the Cabinet, it is nit fair to cut down his salary : let lain have the means of supporting his dignity in common with Isis brethren.
