Mr. Wiuour said, there was another 'eery
cant subject adverted to by the President which
not embraced, he believed, in the resolutions-
adopted ; though he was nit certain it was no;
cause he could not distinctly understand them
sually bearing them read and decided on without
vious notice. He referred to the recommend

Mr. TAYL9R of New York, observed, dot
thought it would be better to defer the ' •

rate exertions of patriotism required corn •
they would be brought before Congress in the
ut memorials, from the states or individuals wi
made them. 'thus brought before Congress, the
jest might be referred to a Committee and g
and fully examined.
Mr. WILLOW', after some further remarks,
ted the following motion 6
" That so much nf the Prevident's Message as relates s

Gyverements, vtlthout the previous sancrinn or aathoity el

ted States, who had not yet been paid, in conseq
of the deficiency is the amount of appropriations
that object. He had actual knowledge of tberutl
many Militia, thus situated, remaining unpaid,a
seriously suffering for the want of what was*
due to them. From the correspondence benne
Pay Department and the Militia Officers, wbichl
had seen published, the delay of payment was p
duced by the exhaustion of the appropriations da
last Session. l'his defect, if existing, should be'
mediately supplied. To bring this question Wit
the House, he moved,.
" That the Conamktee of Ways and Means be insossia
enquire whether the appropriation of money made lino

called into the service of the United &aces, under do WI
of the several States, be sufficient; and, not, Wit hi

Mr. LOWNDXS suggested that the COMMON
Ways and Means, when appointed, would not

referred to them, until the Report of the
of the Treasury should be received. That
which would probably afford all the informadee
Gentleman desired, might be expected in a few
and, upon that Report, it would of course WNW
duty of the Committee of Ways and Mesas
without a particular referecce.
Mr. BARBOUR then observing that he had bat
sired to bring this subject directly to the view d
House, waved his motion for the present.
A message was received from the Senate,
the usual appointment of two Chaplains of •
religious denominations, to interchange wet

This proposition was concurred in, with somei'
senting voices ; and to-morrow assigned for IM
