to six dollars per day. This resolution the house
refused to consider. Mr. Ltxx, of New Jersey.
bfered a resolution to instruct the Committee of
Ways and Means, to inquire into the expediency of
reducing the pay of the members of Congress, from
eight to Ili dollars per day, and also the salaries of
all the *Seers of government, to what they were pre-
vious ta the year 1809. Mr. SMITH. of Maryland,
thought that the Committee of Ways and Means, ought
to be exonerated from that duty, and that a Special
Committee ought to be raised, to consider and report.
He hoped the Resolution would Ile on the table one

this °cession, from which we may be permitted to hope,

a course of things the most salutary and happy, when
Um cat no longer derive a consequence from their
bawling pretensions and protestations that they are
+lier than their neighbours, but when virtue and
talent will secure to their possessors a just esti-
mation. This country has been too long the dupe of
rr.afty impostors, and it is time the delusion should
be dispelled which has given them all their conse-

commencnnent of a new era of good feelings, and

The Duke and Duchess of Leinster waited upon her
Eajesly on Sunday last, and were honoured with an
interview. As the Duchess is near her accouchment,
al:d has scarcely quitted her house for sonic time past,
there can be no doubt that the scandalous talselsoods so
industriously propagated in the ministerial journals
induced Ler Orace to give this testimony of continued
respect towards the Queen, refarstleu of the difficul-
t:es which attended its completion.
