ed on Saturday the 10th tilt. On the pre-
ccding Thursday, Resolution was offered
Ito both houses, that they be requested to
use their endeavors to procure a repeal Of
The. Embargo Laws. The yeas were II,
nays sC-all the democratic members vot-l
ing for, and all the federal members against
ahe Embargo majority 8.
) On Friday Mr.. Dodd, of Morris county,
moved an address (Which had been drawn
Up approbatory Of the measuresof the ge-
neral government, and censuringt the opPo-
ssision thereto. Many alterations were nov
ed and objected to. Mr.. Pearson moved to
strike out a certain part of the address
This Mr.. Whitehead opposed and it was
sustained by IS against IL. The address
thus. agreed to BY a majority Of ONE was
ordered to be engrossed. 1t was sent to
council for concurrence. Council refused
to pass the address, unless the house 2cced-
ed to the alteration proposed by Mr.. Pear
son, and after it was banded backward and
forward between the two houses II WAS.
FINALLY LOST, and thus ended the
farce. The violent men Of the democrats
upon this failure looked as if they had lost
all their lriiends--the more moderate said
trey were glad it was negatived.
ne zv;sdN5aa Of the Aurora.-Wi the
limits ofths United Scates, we know not a
man 81 such consummate vanity as Col. Du-
anc, Editor of the Aurora. Scarcely pa.
per is issued fl ON his Office, in which he is.
not either predicting future events orsboast-
ing Of the sagacity or wisdom of his predic-
tons. In his paper Of yesterday, we find
the following
In the present state of arrangements be-
tween the United States and Europe We
should notbe surprised if Mr. Armstrong
were likewise to return home; his health
has Obliged him to spead much of his time
at the Barbour Springs.

ropesin the esrly part of the year, we should
not be surprized to learn Of one of our fri
gates being employed, instead OF the private
vessels hitherto sent with dispatches; and
thus perform double service.
Now, wecan inform this prophetic editor
that in New York, go mics more remote
from the scat of goyernnsnt. than his resi-.
dence, information was received hsree days
ag0 that the armed vessel ARGUS, now here
is ordcredeto be intrcadiness at moments
