Mr. Cook, from the committee on CLAIMS,
barred by the statute of limitations, reported
a bill, making provision for exinguishing the
debts of the United States. Read twice and
referred to committee of the whole.
Mr.. d. Montgomery obtained leaye-of alb.
sence for ten days from Monday last.
On motion Of Mr.. Blotmt, the. House took
up for consideration the report of the COM
rnittee of the whole OH the bill for erecting
Notifications. The amendment inserting the
sum of one million of dollars in the bill as the
sum to be allotted for that object, being yet
under consideration.
MIR. MAsTrRs said he would barely state a
few facts Introductory tc motion which he
proposed TO make before he sat down, atho'
they might clash with the opinion of-the Sc
cretary of war. When measures similar to
:his we're under consideration during the last
session, the secretary of war reported a sum
of go ,ooossollars for the purpose of repairing
fsrti6cafions, for which purpose however
l5O,uoo dollars was Finally appropriated. Cen
tlemen who at that time opposedthe increase
of the bill in the course of their reasoning re-
lied upon the opinion of the see'ry at war,
contended that it was all he asked for, and
that he must be the best judge of what was
necessary. The scc'ry had this year pro-
posed a larger sum and against an increase
| ofthat sum the same arguments were now us
| ed as were last year, that it was the opinion
lof the sec'ry of war. Mr.. M had no wish to
detract from the merits of that gentleman he
benevcd,he was a good old man and good
patriot, but hecould wish he was twenty years
younger.
The sum ofone raillion Of dollars taken abb
