boNNET--an aged, honest, and much
respected man.
We mentioned in our last. a report of
duel between Messrs. GARDENER and
Campbell, members Of Congress. The
papers received yesterday mention that
duel was fought between these zen
tlemen, on Wednesday the I'd inst. and
that Ny. GARDENER, mot Mr.. Campbell,
as has been reported,) was wounded.-
The wound is not unprecedented to be
dangerous but twill prevent Mr.. G..
trou attending in his place for some
time. Senator White, of Delaware, act
ed as his second. Mr.. Eppes, a mem
Der from Virginia, was Mr.. Campbelrs
second.
1t has been observed, by committee
otalegislative body lately, that rer resen-
tatives of the people represent their mo-
raj character. According to this obser
vation, as members of Congress abuse
and shoot each other, and countenance
duels, the citizens of the United States
must be considered a quarrelsome, bar
darons, fighting people.
The Legislature Of New-York, on the
9th ult. PASSED an act to provide for the
defence Of the, northern and western
frontiers Of that state. 1t authorizes
the Governor to deposit in the frontier

with suitable quantities of ammunition
and military stores.

CITY or LONDON, TAVERN,
November 81, 1907.
At special meeting - the committee of A.
meriean Merchants, held here this dav.
J'hihf Samson, Esp. chairman, in the
chair. the chairman made the following
report from the subcommittee appointed
20 attend the-hoard Of trade, ON the sub
jcct Of the recent orders in council:
mat American vessels cannot sail in a
ny instance direct from the ports of the u.
States to any port of the enemy in Furopc
American vessels may proceed from the
ports Of the United States 10 The ports of the
Colonies Belonging to the enemy, and direct
back 10 ne p5r-s vi the c. States The
order does not prohibit them from going di.
rect from the ports of this Kingdom 10 the
colonial ports in the West India islands be-
longing to the enemy; and IT is not irtend-
ed to prevent them from proceeding from
this Kingdom with colonial produce to the
enemy's ports, Whenever parliament shall
have decided on the duties TO be imposed
on such expectation American vessels
may continue to trade from the ports of this
kingdom to the ports OF the enemy, and
from the ports Of the enemy to TN king
dom, and from the ports of his maiesty's
allies to the enemy's ports, but not from
the enemY's ports to the ports of his maie-
Sty's allies, direct, nor from America To- the
ports of his majesty's allies with colonial
produce. There IS reason tobelieve that an
order IN council will issue, regulating the
periods at which notice shall be consider
cd to have been received Of the orders
N council, OF the 18th instant, in the u
nited States Of America bv which reeu-
lation. vessels that have cleared, or shall
clear, out from any port in America, be-
fore the goth Of January next, shalt be con-
Idered to have cleared out before notice
OF the order and vessels, which shall clear
ont between the 2Oth Of January and the
10Th of February, will b { liable to tie de-
tanned, subject to tho question:, whether
they had began to be laden before notice
had arrived at the port from whence they
sailed. From the 10Th Of February, all A.
merican vessels will be considered as ha-
wing hegun to ad1after notice, and will
thereby be subject TO the provisions of the
aforesaid orders.

TIE TIMES

lhonsh the ne1v-yedr opens upon us in
gloomy prospective, yet let us not sink in
to desPondency. Our countrylaas seen gloo-
"iier 'imes than these-has passed through
an ordeal more terrible than that with
which it is now threatened, and came
out disenthralled, renovated, and cncircjed
with honor and glory. Such let MS tirmlv
believe will again be her destiny-and such
it VIII be, it we Danish from among us all
petty differences, all sordid local interests
ana Attachments, and unite with our govern
mcnt in the measure it may deem essential
to our national safety.-i51is alone is the
crock OF our salvation and on this alone,
unier divine Providence, will every true
American rest his hopes for the preserva.i-
ON OF MS GENTRY from the ruin which her
enemies have plotted for her. sUnited we

BIZ fhr Sen4fc. JantrV 10, 1903.
Whereas the General Assembly ct
Maryland have on all occasions, viewed
with the deepest interest and utmost soli-
citude, every change in the aspect Of our
foreign relations; the present novel aud
interesting crisis peculiarly demands an
expression Of the public will through the
medium Of the Legislature.
Therefore,
"Pesoivsd, That the late act Of Con-
gress, imposiug an embargo, is, in the Opt
Mon If this General Assembly, a measure
strongly CHARACTERISTIC ofthe Judgment and
wisdom of our national councils and well
calculated TO inspire conf fence in the in
dividuals of tie nation which they repre-
sent.

Mr.. Rhe. (of Tenaessee) submitted the
following resolutions, each of which WAS Sc
Parately agreed TO, and the first was refer.
red TO the committee Of claims:
Resolved, That every pension or arrear-
age OF pension due, or that may hereafter
become due for any Off GER or soldier OF the
u. S. and who doth reside in any of the u
states, or the territories thereof, in which
there hath not been established com uissi-
err of loans, or IN which there may not be
any resident attending commissioner of the
loans; shall be paid by the secretary ofthe
treasury at the city of Washington, on app
plication of the party interested, conforma
bly, to the rules and injunctions provided by
law Tor the payment of pensions or arrear-
ages OF pensions by commissioner o. loans.
Resolved, Taat the committee on public
lands do enquire into the expediency OF lay
ing oil, and describing by certain metes and
bounds, tract OF country to which the In :
dian title hath been extingushcd, within
the limits OF Louisiana, and to include all
the settlements within the said territory !;
and of having the said tract of country LAID
intotownships and sections, half and quar-
ter sections, agreeaby to the several laws
heretofore made for surveying the public
lands of the U. States; and also to enquire
into the expectancy of granting one quarter
! OF section to every free male white person
who now resides therein, or who Will with
| IN years, actually improve and reside
thereon.
W variety OF petitions were presented,
| and some old ones were called up and refer.
red to different committees-several reso-
lutions respecting post Offices and post roads
were submitted and referred to the commit.
tee appointed for that purpose. These be-
ing OF p local nature we have thought it un-
necessary to particularize them. The Spea
ker observing that there was no business
before the house, except the Order of the
day, (Mr. Chittenden's resouton,) Mr.
Chitenden remarked that as application
had been made to the President for infor.
nation which would have considerable in.
fiuence on the discussions of the house, and
as 1t seemedto be the desire Of some gentle
men to wait for that information, he waved
the Call for the order of the day on his re
isolution.--Mr Smile said there had been
a gre I many committees appointed to trans.
act diff rent business, and u no gentleman
WAS prepared TO lay any thing before the
house, he would move to adiourn-Mr.
Cock moved TO print the resolution Of. red
by Mr.. Mumford, which was agreed to -
When, on motion-of Mr. Smile, the house
adjourned. az Mr.. Bacon moved IN the
course OF the sitting resolution tending TO
provide for franking the Presidents mes
sage and documents laid before Congress
ON the 3th instant.
