a letter reprefenting thcfe circumaan-
ces from the fscrstary of the treafury,
which had induced them to come to 4

Mr.. y. r. Williams hoped the con-

fent before the Legislature of South

be repealed. If repealed, any refolu-
tion Of this Houfe would be ufelefs.
He therefore moved its polfponement

Rutia and Sweden have made very conIide-
rable demands of money on the Senate of thit

that the latter have declared their incompetent
