The House went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Shelby inthe. chair, on the reso
luton approving the measures OF the general
government, which being amended, was a.
greed to as follows:
ReSoiUed, by TIC general assembly oCthe
state Of Ohio, That we highly approve of
the Candid, firm ana dignihcd conduct OF the
Executive OF the United States, during the
important and difficult negotiation with til +:
beiligerent powers in the recess of Congress,
especially IN parrying the insidious artifcc
or the British court, IN their late nefarious
breach OF political faith and national Eonor,
IN refusing to ratify the solemn engagements
catered into by their accredited minister
and firmly believing, that on the part OF the
United States the cup of friendship and re-
Cancellation has been drained to it's very drees
Therefore,
ResotUed nnanimously. That we pledge
our lives, our fortunes and all our ehergies.
in the support of all Just, necessary and eff
cient measures, which Congress may deem
eHpedient for securing our injured rights,
insuitcd sovereignty and independence.
Re$ofUed, that the governor be rogue sted
to forward copies of the foregoing resolutions
W the freSiuent or the United states, the
President OF the Senate, the Speaker Of the
House OF Representatives, and to our SEN
ators and Representatives in Congress.
1t appears, that of the fifteen monarchs of
Europe, who were TRANQUILITY seated on their
thrones in the year 1888, George the Third,
Of England, alone possesses the Kingly pow
er. The sum of this melancholy record OF
Royalty stands thus:
One murdered,
Five deposed,
One eXpatriated,
Two poisoned,
One sudden death,
One assassinated,
One abdicated,
One died Il lunatic,
One natural death,
One still regning.

PHlLADELPHIA, Feb. 9.
u a meeting of the under writers and
others, interested in the safety of vessels at
present embarrassed with ice III our bay
was held this morning at the Coffee House,
and measures adopted to afford them relief.
Two active individuals are Immediately to
so down. The following letter furnish
es very particular account of their situa-
ton:
MOURN OF CoHANzEY CREEK,
January so:
" In my last, informed you of the gene
raj expectation Of the feet at Reedy Island
OF sailing on Monday; the weather, the
two days preceding, having been very
iavorable.--On Sunday night, there was
"a light breeze from w. N. w. but exces-
siveIy cold. During the night, the greater
part OF the ileet prepared Cor sailing, singled
all the iasts, &c. and at day light we all got
under way, under a fall impression Ct be-
Geve generality of our getting to sea before
night.
Every thing appeared favorable. The
tide of Eb5 commenced very early in
the morning, and we all felt gratifed at the
prospect before us, of being clear of the land
before night. On starting, we found a skin
OF ice for perhaps three or four miles, ,.hen
the wind suddenly chopped round TO II. N
w. and In halt an hour, the whole feet
were completely envcloped with strong bea-
Wy ice. Two or three were before us, when
a large field of strong ice brought the Sus-
quehanna up. Numbers were behind, bat
there was no getting back, as wind and tide
we're in our favor. We drifted for some
time, and at last succeeded in clearing our
selves Of it. Atths timc, the schooner Gle
u tntjna got ashore on Morris Lision
The schooner Nancy, Suter, finding her
sell embarrassed, came to anchor, and like
wise the ship Jane, Garwood. Finding it
impossible to do any thing better. and the
pilot and myself feeling confident, IL we an
chored, We would never be able to purchase
them, we concluded to persevcrc, and either
make harbor at CUhauzey or get 60 sea-

when we again became surrounded with
ice. AT this time, the three vessels that had
anchored and got aground, must have been in
a very bad situation, from the large bodies
Of ice that dTlfted down on them. When
the food made, we were hemmed in and
drifting down with the ice, at which time
