= In two vols. Price two dollars In boards.
~EHE character of these delightful and in-

hardly to require accommodation. 10 the
friends of piety and virtue they will be pecu-
liarly acceptable, as tending to correct those
errors in condact and manners which are too
common in the present day. The typogra-
phical execution Of the work will be found to
do credit to the American press, and little IN
ferior to the British edition, though less than
one third cfthe price. @

mighs materially cepend upon the fate Of
tho questions now before the court.
The Chief Justice observed that there
was only one Of those points which could
aifac. him. There was no sort Of question.
considering The evidence adduced, thar
Mr.. 81. had been present on the ialand :
ADD he was Of course not Interested 10 that
point.
Mr.. Martin. The question which at
feets him is, whether a6y evidence has bsea
produced that there is any thing like 40
overt act Of levying war. The sarraign.
nsn, was accordingly put oG.
Mr. Urea hoped that the curt when Il
adjourned would adjourn till Monday l2
O'CLOCK and assigned the importance OF
Inc sues.ions sow before j, as q sufficient
reason.
Chief Justice admitted that upon the
fate OF these questions, being decided 10
favor of the prisoner, would depend the
fate It the prosecution. He was extreme.
~ willingto give all the time 10 'hs conn
sci for the prosecution when they might
require for consideration Of these cues

Mr.. Martin observed that before they
adjourned he would Suggest new authori

AMERICA - GREAEBRI7ALM.

The editor of the Boston Centincl, after hay-
iEg attentiyely perused his flies OF I'm llsh
newspapers, gives the following result on this
subject, Of his diligent enquiries !: -
g On the greattopic in Controversy between
the United States and Great-Brieaia, we have
made diiigent search and enquiry. We can-
not find or learn any thing in the proceedings
OF the English government, or conduct OF the
English people, that does not bea1 the mos,
pacific aspect towards this country. A wal
with US is deprecated by all orders of men,
and every thing but the sacrlhce OF the natlon-
alsecuiitY, or prostr ton Of tie national honor
would be conceded to preserve gooa under
standing. And ne are assured from good au-
thority, that ali the treaty differences IN dis
pute will be amicabiy and satisfactorily al
justcd, 1.-THE government otthe United States
wishes friendly adjustment. This DISPOSE
ton, we are assured, did not arise from any
teariof the consequences of war; but from a
desire to pro!ong the blessings of peace. ana
good will. s.
The London Courier of June Is, contains
the following :s4 1t appeared by the entry
inthe books at Lloyd's On Thursday morning,
that ofJyiy-tsvo ships which had arrived, forty
seysA were American, and only i've British !! |!
We no,ice this circumstance IN the hope that
the public attention will still be directed to the
resumption of the Navigation and colonial sys-
tenn, as the only means by which this country
can maintain its maritime superiority, and at
ford relief and encouragement to the Vest
India shipping interest 80
$ "A fact like the above, the Courier ought to
have known, was no proof of the relative I'M
pertance of the American navigation. The
American vessels sail detachedly, while the
British, altogether under convoy. The next
day an English convoy Of 800 sail might have
arrived, and not single American. It IS
wrong to endeavors as some British editors do
to render the people of Great Britain particu!-
larly Jealous of American Commerce. But
il there should be found many more Amerk-
can than British merchantmen who arrive at
English ports--is 1t at all to be ascribed to the
relaxation of the Navigation Act Is no

The doors Of the house, which had re-
NAMED closed since Friday, were opened
to-day, quarter before %. When the e.
ditor entered, bill was in reading, which
goes to provide Distinguishing claims a.
ssinst the United States, by opening the
statute Of limitations. Twice read, and
made the order Of the day for Monday
next.
On motion of Mr. Blount, the house re-
sumed the consideration of the report of
the committee Of the whole ON the fortifca-
tion bill, which was suspenped on Friday
last by the presidents confidential message.
Mr.. Masters, after some predatory OBJ
servations, in which he was interrupted
for the purpose of closing the doors, moved
that the bill be re-committeG 20 commit

The question on agreeingto one million
of dollars, the su'p reported by the COM
mittee of the whole, then REQUIRED, when,
on motion of MIR. Bacon, the galleries were
cleared. In few minutes the doors were
again opened The editor found Mr.. Cook
speaking against the propriety of the sum,
as being too small, reported by the COM
mittce Of the whole. This appeared to be
Mr.. C's object, but that part Of his speech
which the editor heard was little else than
a labored apology for some spirited and
manly observations made by him on We'd
nesday last. Mr.. Cook was followed by
Mr.. Sloan, who took occasion TO observe,
that "some gentlemen made such frequent
and such long speeches on that floor, that
they certainly must often speak without
having thought" The report of the COM
mittee of the whole was then concurred in
without division. Some amendments in
the phraseology ofthe bill were then made,
and it was ordered 20 have third reading
to-day.
Mr. Thomas, from the committee APP
pointed on that subject, reported a bill,
supplemented to the act authorship grants
of land to certain refugees from Canada
and Nova-Scotia. Twice read, and made
the order for tomorrow
Mr Crowninshield offered resolution,
| authorisng the president to cause a line of
telegraphs to be established along the sea-
board, and in such other parts of the coun-
try as he may Judge expedient. Referred
to a committee of the whole, and made the
order of the day for tomorrow.
On motion Of Mr.. w. Aston, the COM
mittee of ways and means were instructed
10 enquire into the expediency of continu-
ing for longer time the act fixing the pre-
sent salaries of the officers of government,
which expires. by its own limitation, on
| the first Of January next.
The doors were again closed, in conse-
