PRnif THE NAT:ONAL INTELLIGE:CER, JAN. U.

" The Senate having yestei day receded from their
disagrEement to the remaining amendments of the
Howe oflepresentatives to the Army Bill; that bill
esly %urns the signature of the President to become
a laT.

" The House of Representatives progress but
slowly in the discussion of the Volunteer Bill. Con-
siderable difference exists as to its det,lils—and the
tommitee of the whale yesterday rose without hay-
vg decided any question touching the principle of
the Bill."

" BOSTON, FRIDAY, JAN. 17.
4 Mr. BRADFORD, who arrived in town last even-
ing from New York, favoured us with the following
tnetnoranda of the proceedings of Congress of Friday
and Saturday last, taken from papers received in that
city
;" On Friday last the Senate receded fromtheir
magreement to the remaining amendment of the
/louse to the Army Bill (25,000), so that now the
nnly waits the signature of the President to
ktonte a law.
" The House of Representatives on Friday dii-
tn,sstd the Volunteer Bill, but no decision, touching
the principle of it, was had.
"On Saturday the House was engaged on the bill
luihorising the President to accept of the services of
AOOO volunteers, but adjourned without coming to
i..decision. It is supposed at Washington that the
Lai will not pass.
"Letters say that the intended invasion of Canada
Istilen up for the present."

4 Dispatches we learn have been received in Wash-
ington from our agents in France and England. No
Pninulars of either have transpired. It is stated,
however, that the Orders in Council would not be
replayed, but their effects were lessened by the exten-
rive issue of Licences, which had been made and re-
cognized on both sides the channel. With regard to
France, the National latelligenter says, " Although no
doge had taken place, yet the aspect of our affairs was
iattcring." This tst word of the Intelligencer has been
c66cisttl— but as " to flatter" means " to wheedle,"
to raise false hopes" and " to fawn," wr thick Mr'

Guts could not have used a more ar 0-opiate one i
although, we doubt not his object was to add an item
to the scandalous deception now prattising on the
American people."

EX TRACTS OF LE ITERS.

" WASHINGTON.
14 The order cf things here is still to keep up as
loud a clamour of war as possible, and all the stick-
lers, of:lice-holders, and expectants of the administra-
tion, far and wide, are ordered to echo it; but those
who are best acquainted with cabinet secrets, say,
we shall not have any other than a paper war—and
that the Hoilse have set a time which the Executive
will not carry out.

44 Mr. FosrEa's carriage having been seen at Mr►
MostnoE's door, has occasioned many crude reports
to be circulated—it is, however, stated, that Mr. Fos-
TER has required such an explanation on the war talks
and preparations as the laws of neutrals state. I have
not heard what the answer, if any, has been.
44 The principal t ,pics discussed in our circles is
who shall be the next President ? General ARM-
STRONG, DE WITT, CLINTON, and other arch-intriguers
are here ; and occasion much uneasiness in the Palace,
notwithstanding outside appearances.

4, The report of the Committee for allowing the
importation otpertain goods, I am sorry to say, has
not been taken up to-day."

GLASGOW, FEBALMRT 11.

At the meeting of the manufacturers; held yester-
day in the Trades Hall, the Committee brought for=
ward their report.. They recommended, that an
advance, rather considerable, on some sorts of work,
and less so on others, should be immediately made
on weavers' wages ; that a new Committee should
be appointed to consider on the expediency of apply-
ing to Parliament to fix a minimum ; and likewise, to
take into consideration how far it will be conducive
to the interests of the country that the East India
Company should continue to enjoy their exclusive
privileges after the expiration of the Present charter.
The report of the Committee was approved of.
