NEW YORK, DEC. 11.

In the House of Representstives, on 3londay last, 31r. Web-
ster, of Alaasachusets, proposed as a Revolution, that provision
ought to be made, by law, for defraying the expense incident
to the appointment of an Agent or Commissioner to Greece, when-
ever the President shall deem it expedient to make such appoint-
ment.

The Resolution was laid on the table, according to Mr. Web-
ster's motion, in preference to the suggestion of Mr. Foote to
refer it to a Committee of the whole out die state of the Union,
and of Mr. Farrelly, to refer it to the Committee of Foreign Rela-
tion..
