Mr. Stanley moved to amend it by

—The motion was lost.
Mr. W. Alston moved to refer the
resolution to a committee to'be ap-1
pointed by this House to join with
such committee as should be appoint
’d by the Senate for the purpose of en
quiring and reporting what business
was necessary to be done previous ro
idjournm-nt, and also at what day
Congress would in their opinion be
prepared to adjourn.
[This motion was supported by se
veral gentlemen on the ground that it
was the ordinary course of proceeding,
and would be but respectlul to the Se
nate, as it was the only’ means of
knowing what business that body had
before if. If adiflfeient course was
pursued, tve two Hr uses havi g dif_
♦ erect business in view, might each
embarrass the other’s proceedings.
It was opposed on the ground that
uch a course would only produce de
lav Mr. bmllie and others were for
djourning at the earliest possible day.
It was admitted that the course pro
posed was usual, but it was said that
the report of the joint committee form
d no guide for the conduct of the
House, who as often departed from
as adhered to its recommendations.
If the day expressed in the resolution
did not coincide with the ideas of the
Senate, it wa3 at thtir option to a
mend it.]

COMMERCIAL BILL.
The House took up the message
from the S nat announcing their ad
herence lo their amendments ro the
bill concerninir commercial inter
course, &r.
Mr. Livermore moved that
House recede from its disagreeofiftt
o he amendment of the Senate.
Mr. Love made a motion which
took precedence of Mr. Livermore’s,
viz. to postpone the further considera
tion of the bill till onday next. It
seemed probable, he said, from infor
mation lately received, that some e
vents had taken place which would es
sentially alter the state ot things, 1'he
situation of the two Houses in relation
to each other being somewhat embar
rassing, he said he was not desirous to
precipitate a decision, especially when
a ft w days might produce a change in
our relations wish the belligerents.
Mr. C ; k was in favor of this mo„
tton, and iorthereason which had been
given. He thought it very impolitic
to act immediately on this important
subject, when news was every hour ex
pected which might alter iheir opini
ons very essentially. He should be
sorry to register an act at this moment
which they might be under the neecs..
sity of undoing in a week;
Mr. Livermore said he could r.oj
easily conceive why 2 decision on this
subject should be further po-.tpon d.
Under the expectation of great news,
this system was continued from day to
( day to the great injury ol die American
people. Gentlemen would no doubt
act on their own convictions; but he
1 h/tnprl fViPV urnnlrl fKn in1’. 1
j msuon received from every part of the
: Union of the public voice appealing to
Congress to repeal the noo-iutercoursc
law. Was there any news of war be
ing declared against us' y auy nation ? »
He had, to be sure, heard some rumor
of the kind as to France, but he placed
little faith in it. As to England, he
had hea1 d fro n ail quarters ol mvorade
prospects. lie compared this procras
tination to the punishment of Tanta
lus inflicted on merchants. Out day
was held out an expectation of a deci
sion, and when the day came th<5 bill
was again puteff. He hoped it woyUl
now be decided.
The question on postponement t>»
Monday next was carried as iol. .
