SENATE OF VIRGINIA

The resolution Of the House of DELEGATES.
respecting the President of the United
States, was adopted OH Thursday last. with
out debate and without division.
On Friday, they resolved themselves into
committee of the whole, (Mr. Wolfe in
the chair,) on the following resolution from
the House of Delegates:
"RESoLYED, Ihak the LepisIafzrc of
Virginia continue TO viezv with fhe highcsf
aff'ro6aton, rte firm, just, and liberal no.
Hey, which choracferiscs tie conduct of
the government Of The United States TO-
yards foreign nations"
The committee rose after considerable
debate, and reported the bill without any
amendment, Ayes 11-Noes 10. Tie fol-
lowing amendment was then moved by wav
of substitute
"Whercas this house hath not before II
documents sufficient to enable il 70 form, =

The reasons Of this varied vote will inn
mediately strike the reader, when he rccol-
