port. with detachment OF troops from Puts

| On Wednesday last the DIR regiment of
infantry, who behaved themselves so gal
lantly at the battle of Tirpacanoe, on the
w abash, there under the command OF Col
Boyd, but now III Col. Miller, crossed the o.
hio at this place. The citizens who under
stood that they would not stop here, but
march through the town to their encamp-
meht, made preparations to receive them
accordingly. The artillery company with
their piece the senior corps and the citi-
gems, assembled OH the beach of the Ohio &C
As the troops were crossing. the artillery fred
several rounds, which was answered by the
music OF the 18th regiment. When they
were landed and formed. the artillery and
the senior corps, with their music. marched
along Front Street, the troops being at a
" hrcsent, and proceeded to near the court
house, where they formed on each side the
street below a triumphal arch, which was
composed ofLaurels and Roses, with the fol
lowing inscription
ITO THE HEROES OF .TIPPACANOE.. >
The 4.h then marched, accompanied by
general Gano and the other militia officers
OF the town, passed BY the senior corps and
artillery, and under the arch. After resting
rev minutes they proceeded as far as
flutchison's tavern, about miles, where
they encampcd. BY the time they arrived
the citizens (who had made previous prepa-
ratoss) had couple ofbceves barbacued.-
and table set under a shade sufficiently
large tor all the officers and citizens who
accompanied them, and the soldiers were
treated with plenty of barbacued beef, bread,
whiskey, &c. The next day, with their
canteens full, their minds determined and
their hearts merry, they proceeded on their
line of march to Detroit. Owing TO the
want of time, this was the only mark of res
pect the citizens of this place could pay to
these brave men. who SO firmly stood the
shock of Indian warfare at the Ratfie of
fTfacan0e. CWesfern Shy1
WASHINGTON, June 81.
Two important decisions have been made
in the House of Representatives to day, the
one refusal toagree TO any repeal or mo-
difcaton OF the non -importation-the other
a postponement until the next session Of the
bills for laying the War-Taxes. 1t ap-
,peared tn be the opinion of those who voted
Tor TINS postponement, THAT it wuold not be
detrimental to the public service, inasmuch
as the taxes were not necessary forthe ser
|
lsidered at the next session In time to put
them in operation for the service of the en-
suing year. This latter decision will have
the effect 60 shorten the present session,
which we are induced to believe will not
IeXtend beyond the next week. 1t is
Thought, that an act will pass before adj
,Journment for re. assembling Congress in
me latter end of October or beginning of
November.

Senate, with amendments, which vet re-
lquire the concurrence of the House.
Accounts received from all parts Of the
Ecountry. inform us, that the Declaration of
WAR has been more universally approved
than any act of-the government for MANY
Years and honorably to themselves. that
great part of,'the federal party have de-
ciared their determination cordially to sup
tport it. Those rho have evinced a, CON
trary purpose are few, and we are ma ppy
Eto say, are those whose support neither
the government nor the republican party
can Coyet.
1t was runiored some time ago. that the
opposition Members of the House of Rep
resentatIves were preparing some paper in
thc form OF q protest, by way, of appeaI tn
the people from the government. of which
they form part, agaiDss the wart We are
reJolced to find, from the sien g observed
v" t"'s heau, tuat tne PROJECT IS abandoned,
because it must have placed its authors on
the side of the foreign power against whom
! war is declared, and have given them the
| appearance at least of abetting its injus-
tee and moDstrous usnrpations. 1t must
have been production which would have
excited the indignation of an insulted peo-
pie against the professors or, it must have
been mawkish compound of insipidty that
would have disguised by its incompatibility
with the spirit the times call for, and ould
have answered no good purpose. We say,
IN the language uttered by distinguished
Orator on the floor OF the House of Repre-
sentatives some days ago--and we believe
the American people will echo the senti-
ment-that this is no time for debating the
lpropriety of a war; that war is declared,
and every patriot heart must unite in it's
support (; and more, that every patriot arm
will lend its utmost aid to carry it on with
vigor and success. Nat. Tnt.
