WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 27.

The difference which has ezisted between the So.
nate and House of Representatives on the subject of
the metes and bounds of the treaty making power,
and Vie scope of the legislative powers when coming
in collision with it, is at length in a fair way of being
utifactorily adjusted. A B:11 ,has passed the House
of Representatives respecting the convention of Com-
merce with Great Britain, and will probably -pass toe
Senate, which though it does not settle the Constitu-
tional question, will settle on principles of compro-
mise and mutual accommodation, the present diffe-
rence between the two branches of the Legislature.
FEBRUARY 28.—The Bill concerning the Conven
don of Commerce with Great Britain now requires
only the signature of the President to become a law,
the Senate having agreed to the Report of the Com-
Mince of Cod rence thereon, which had previously
been agreed to by the House.

EXTRACT OF A LETTEct FROM CANADA.

•e I have this moment been conversing with a
Gentleman from Quebec, who informed me th-A his
Excellency Sir Cordon Drummond has the
Parliament. The.eanse assigned in the Clcvernn:'s
Proclamation, I understand, is, the high torte vt•l:ich
the Members bad assumed on their being informed
of the Prince Regent's and Councils' decision, re-
specting the impeachment of the Judge of the Pro-
vince. The packet is on the ere of tailing."

Last night we received H imburgh P.qters to the
lOth instant. Their contents are very unimportant.
An article under the head of Hanover, of the sth of
April,' mentions that the French General AN:ILL, in-
cluded in the proscription-list of the 2tth of July,
after a long concealment in Germany, hod been laid
hold of at Luneburg, and conveyed under an escort
to Hanover. The Harnbsirgh Correspondent of the 9.h,
contains anothets of those tragical stories of which we
hue lately had several from the Continent. It states,
under the head cf Dresden, April 1, that a carpenter
of the name of Room., after inflicting such se-
vere wounds on his father and mother-in-law that
their lives were despaired of, had murdered his
wife, and destroyed himself. Previously to this, he
had, on the same day, though happily without
anccess. endeavoured to set fire to several houses.
The Editor observes, that had he not received the
account from a creditable source, he should have
deemed the story a first of April hoax. In an article
from the Maine, we are told of the currency of a re-
port that the title of EMPEROR of GERMANY will be
again restored. From the same quarter we learn,
that Dr. GOMM had gone to Treves to plead his
cause in the action by appeal brought against him by
Mr. SACK. GdOltallta., it is said, will be compensated
for the suppression of the Rhenish Mercury, by an ap-
pointment to a Professorship in the University to be
erected at Cologne, A steam-vesselis this summer to
navigate the Elbe between Hamburg and Magdeburg.
