AMERICAN PAPERS.

Yesterday we received another file of New York Papers,
down to the Bth ult. They contain a report of very inte-
resting and anitnated proceedings in the Houle of Repre-
aentat•ves, on the motion of Mr. Webster, in behalf of the
Greeks. This motion was for authorising the President to
send an agent to Greece, whenever he should deem it ex-
pedient. The debate on this question afforded an oppor-
tunity, which was unanimously embraced, for exposing the
abominable measures of the )fitly Alliance; but consider-
able opposition was manifested to Mr. Webster's proposi-
tion, principally on the ground that it was the policy of
America to form as few political connexions as possible
with foreign States; and after a debate, which lasted se-
veral days, the question was got rid of for the present by a
suggestion from Mr. Rich, of Vermont—
Whether, considering the divenity of opinion which was
known to exist, it would nut he advisable to rise without taking the
question, either on the amendment offered by the Member from
Routh Carolina, or the original Resolution; and with an under-
standing that, unless in the course of the Session something should
occur to create greater unanimity, the subject should not be tardier
reseed upon their attention."
Is order to 'Amnia doe erne of the Members on this point, Mr.
R. sald he would move that the Committee rise, and he submitted
that motion: which was erwried. The Consilduse then rose, and
the House adjourned.
The Resolution respecting the Marquis de Le Fayette, which
hod boo submitted to a Committee, was reported on the 21/th Jo-
•noary In the following amended form and wits adopted unsad-
namely by the [louse of RsTresentedites, and sent up to the Senate
for its concurrence:— •

his intention to visit this country, the President be reTtested to
comaiucleate to him the 1111111111111 CM of grateful and affectionate at.
tachmart still cherished towards him by the Uoveratuent and the
people of the United States.
" And he it Amber resolved, That sac mark of national respect.
she President muse to be held in rea.linero a ship of the line, end
in vI te the Marquis to take passage therein, whenever his disponi-
Hon to visit this country be signified."
it is said that the North Carolina, 74, is the ship that will be
mot to convey the veteran Patriot to America.
The following resolution was offered by Mr. Clay to the Com.
mitt., of the House of Representatives, on the state of the Union,

ctum to their formes subjection these parts of the Continent of
