LON DON,
SATURDAY, MAY 26.

We have received letters and papers front New
York to the sth April, contai ll itt g the proceed.
tags in Congress to the tit. They are of consider.
able importance. It appears that the Senate hav-
ing made some alierAtions ita Mr. Macutt's Bill,
to which the House of Repre4entativea refusal to
accede, the farmer requested a conference, but
net' her side would yield, and they separated with-
out any accommodation. On the g7th March, Mr.
Macost, in the House of Representatives. moved
•• That the [louse should adhere to its disa-
greement to the amendments;' which was car-
ried by a majority of eight. This, according to
the rules of the House, had the effect of throwing
out the Bill, and leaving the Non-Intercoucae Act
in full force. Mr. RANDOLPH then moved a re-
solution, for the repeal of the Nom.-fritercouri.c
Act, which was carried by a majority of sixteen,.
and it was then supposed that it would finally
pass. At all events. the Non-Interctmrse has
crafted to exist, as it, would die a natural death on
the eJd last, on which dry it was fixed, that Con-
gress would ri►e. The current of public opinion
had changed considerably in favour of England;
and all idea of war lied so far vanished, that the
Legislature had began to think of disposing of
their useless gun-boats and armed vessels. This
change was imputed to the receipt of recent corn-
riennicatimis from the English Government, of a
coociliatory nature; and it was ordered, upon 1110-
11011, in the House of Representatives, that the
President should lay before the House all such
communications, since the receipt of the letter of
the Secretary of State, of the nil of November last.
But the President has answered, that he received no
communication in that interval, except a letter of
the 4th of January last, and that was nut only
private and unofficial, but also involved personal
con iderations of a delicate nature, not tit for
othlicatiou.

IVe Rod from the American Papers, that the

British House of Commons, feels itself cozpeteat
to redress its owri wrongs, without being a tiler die
necessity of referring to a Jury. A New York

ago for a breach of the privileges of the Senate of
this State, by challenging Da WIT? Cuero'', a
Member of that Hou-e, has been liberated from
