subsequent remarks:
1t certainly appears pretty clear from the

the least ambition for any long contest with
either Prussia or Russia. It is to be hop
ed that the king oil Prussia has not been too
eager to conclude an armisticc. The fur

Prussia and Silcsia, the more periious his
situation would become, as large Russian
force was expected TO land in Meckienburp..
to act In conjunction with the Swedes.
The approach of winter, and the shock
ing state OF the roads in shat country at tn at
season, would, of course, hold out great inn
pediments to his artillery and cavalry, and
consequently it would become more difficult
Tor him to maintain his magazines at SO
great distance from home Austria, at
tue same time, threatening his right flank &
rear las he might, perhaps, have advanced
towards South Prussia-would, no doubt.

ments offered, which shall be given here
after. Without making a decision on
any question of interest the committee rose,
and asked leave to sit again; which was
refused, and the bill recommitted to a Sc
lect committee.
Mr.. DG7vsoH, from the committee APP
pointed on that part of the message Of the
President, that relates to making provisi-
on for offences committed against the Uni
ted States, presented bill providing for
the punishment of certain crimes against
the United States, which was referred to a
committee of the whole house.

of measures for the protection thereof, re-
spectfully recommended the following re-
solutions:
I. ResoiVed, That provisions ought tobe
made by law to fortify and defend such po-
sition on the Mississippi, below the city of
New-Orleans, as the President Of the Unit

UIednesdau, Dec. II,

Mr.. j. Randolph, from the committee
appointed Yesterday to present Il resolution
10 the President of the u. S. requesting IN
formation relative to the sums expended
within the City of Washington, reported
that the committee had performed that SER
vice, and had received for answer that the
information should be laid before the House
as soon as possible.
The Speaker informed the House that
he had received an anonymous commune
cation, addressed to Congress, from n wri-
ter whoprofesscd himself to be foreigner,
and desired his communication might be
read with closed doors.
a short conversation ensued on the pro-
per way to treat the communicate when
it was agreed that it was best to take no
order upon it.
Mr.. Thomas, from the committee ap-l
pointed for that purpose, presented bill
supplementary to the act entitled an act
regulating the grants of land appropriate
ed for the refugees from the British pro-
vinces OF Canada and Nova Scotia, which
was made the order of the day for Friday
next.
On motion ofMr. Early,

tee of the whole-Mr. VARNUM in the
chair--oD the bill to prohibit the inporta-
ZION OF bringing VI slaves iHtO tle ~. -. or

r Mr.. Crozvninshield moved the following
resolution
RESOLVED, That it is expedient to re-
duce the duties on foreign refined sugar
and sugar candy from and after the
day of next, andthat all restrictions
at present imposed on the Importation
of refined sugar be removed.
Mr.. CrozvnrnShieid remarked that the
duties at present paid on the Importation
of these articles were exceedingly high,
and operated as a monopoly, to domestic
sugar refincrs. He was opposed to any
such monopoly, and to such exhorbitant
duties. His object was to call the at
tention of the House to the subJect-for
which purpose he movedthe reference ofhis
resolution to the same committee with that
to which the report had been referred, in
which motion The House concurred.

Monday, December Is.

N73HdGy, December Is.
Mr. j. Randolph offered the followingre-
solution:
ReSoived, That the President of the u
nited States, be, and he hereby is requested
tocause to be laid before this House an ac-
count, stating the several sums which have
been expended On the capitol, the Pre-
sident's house, the public Offices, the Navy
yard, and the marine barracks, respect
lively, and the amount expended on other
objects ofpublic expense within; the city Of
Washington.
Mcssrs. .flSton and DIN, suggested that
it might be embarrassing TO the public Of
hcers to give such detail and RETROSPECT
tive statement.
MR.. Randolph replied that his object
was to get information for which purpose
he wished to have a condensed view of the
whole expenditures within the city of Wash
ington. At present when an appropriation
for a particular object was called for, he
possessed no standard of comparison where
by to determine its propriety. He wished
TO know the aggregate amount which this
sink ofexpense, of INCREASING expense, had
cost the nation, together with the several
items of expenditure. He desired this in
formation to guide him in Judging OF the
future appropriations that might be asked.
Suppose the house should undertake to
build an univcrsity-he understood there
was such project--and they should have
au estimate for it--by knowing what these
buildings had cost, the frequent appropria-
-tions called for, and recollecting that every
appropriation was the last, they would
know how to act, and whether they were
about to be involved in sea of expense,
q. the confines Of which they could never
learn. He believed this had been the case
in the building in which they sat, the con-
duct of the persons employed on it having
always fallen short of the promise made.
The resolution was then agreed to with
out division; and Messrs. J. Randolph
and ID. r. Williams appointed a commit
tee to present it to the President.

Toward the end Of 1909, more than half the
