On the 26th ult. the Housesof Represen-
satives took into consideration The A.
MENDMENT proposed to the Constltu.
ton respecting the mode Of electing Pre-
sideht and Vice-President.
A letter from Mr.. Elliot, (the organ of
the house in submitting TO Congress their
desire to amend the Constitution assing-
ing his reasons for the vote he had given
against the amendment, was offered; on
the reading Of which warm debate ensu-
ed, that issued in its being read.
Mr.. DIN moved resolution declaring
the maiorities, by which the amendment
passed the two houses of Congress, uncon-
stitu,ional. After a debate Of two DAYS
this motion was rejected by a majority of
fifteen.
After this decision wide field of debate
was opened upon the merits Of the amend-
ment, which remained Enclosed on the 29th
ult. Saturday when the house adjourned
until Monday.
Letters received state the expectation,
entertained by the friends Of the amend
melt, that it will succeed by majority Of
hiteen in the house of Representatives, and
by large majority in the Council.
It's rumoured, that our government,
finding that the boundaries of the Louisi-
ana cession are underlined by the late treaty
have retained SIX millions of purchase mo-
ney as asecurity for the equitable adjust
ment OF this Important point. It's on this
subject that Mr.. Harvey is to proceed to
