Mr. LINN. of New Jersey, offered the following
R.,:solution:—" Resolved, That the Committee at--
pointed on so much of the Message of the President
of the United States as relates to -the unlawful intro-
duction of slaves into the United States, be instructed
to inquire into the expediency of passing a law pro-
hibiting the migration or transportati,a of slaves or
servants of colour from any State to any other part
of the United States, in cases where, by the laws of
such State, such transportation is prohibited ; and•
that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise." •

Mr LINN; said, in introducing his resolution, that
it related to a subject of much interest in his part of
the country; as the resolution only proposed an in-
quiry, he hoped it would not be objected to.
Mr. POINDEXTER objected to the resolution. Any
man, he said, had aright to remove his property from.
one State to another, and slaves as well as any other
pr•yert.y. . .

able, when, ix ith one convent, the poor and the rich,
the foreign specula! or and the hardy cultivator of the
ground, remained silent, and the land was knocked

We have received aLivices from Bataviarof the re-
cent data• of the 7th of September. The Dutch autho-
rities there have imposed A new duty on the impor-
tation of goods, in any vessels except those of the
mother country, nearly double in amount to that pre-
viously levied, and sufficimt to operate as a prohihi .
tion on all intercourse by foreign vessels with the port
of Batavia. The object of the measure is obviously
to exclude commerce with all countries, Holland ex-
cepted. This new regulation was to be carried ints
effect on the Ist of November.

On the night of the 19th instant, the -stosei occu-

pied by Messrs. Edes and A. and S. Savage, 3. Bettie
and Co. and Williamson and Dc fillers, on Knox's-
wharf, Savannah, Were consumed by fire. The Mures
burnt, belonged to Messrs. Telfair and Williamson.
Very little of their contents were saved, and the loss
is estimated at 55,000 dollar;. The tire-proof stores
of Messrs. Johnston and Hills stopped the progress
of the fire.
