On Saturday last arrived at this port the
ship John, Capt Reynolds, from St. Peters
burg, (Russia,) last from Copenhagen,
where he was carried in by Da' i,h pri
vateer, detained five months, and liberated
by paying $4,000 thousand dollars. This
vessel sailed from this port in May last for
st. Petersburg passed up the Sound, paid
her dues, and on returning home was taken
within few miles of Copenhagen. Capt.

high Court, and had hauled out in order to
embark the first wind, he was followed by
French privateer, which lay watching his
ship, in order to take her whenever he should
get without the reach of the Danish bate
ries; in consequence of which Capt. II. re-
presented his case to Mr.. Erving, who OBJ
tanned from the Danish government an Off
GER and guard of soldiers, to protect him

The Nelu- York Evening Post of April
IA contains an article extracted from the
Montreal Courant, purporting to be a Copy
Ola letter from JOHN HENRY, (the agent to
whom we are indebted for developement
! Ut British Infernalism) to his friend in Cam
| ada. dated at New-York, March 6, 1912.
This article is SO palpable and gross a for
gerry, manoeuvre SO contemplate, as not
to be worth remark, but to awaken our
vigilance, and put us on our guard against
the incessant intrigues of the British govern
ment and it's satellites, and their unremit-
ted attempts to sow dissention throughout
This country. Henry's disclosures had par
alised the British interest in this country so
lgreatly, that desperate remedy became
necessary, and forgery is resorted to. to wea-
ken their force "a fit agent for the purpo-
ses of those who had sacrilegiously dared tc

Tuesday last was the day appointed for de-
signaling the quota Of 100000 Militia requir-
cd from the county of Fairfax-We are in
formed that Notwithstanding the eloquence of
the Officers, who used every exertion to IN
duce the men to volunteer, by holding out the
idea that they wsuld not be called into actual
service and could not be marched out of the
United States, nor made to serve more than
six months, only between 20 and 80 could be
induced to come forth as volunteers, and they
were obliged to resort to draft to complete
the number.--Some of them (gsod refu6A-
cans too were heard to say that they would
much rather fight against France than Eng
land
We understand in Loudoun County it was
pretty much in the same way

!" ULTERIoR MEASURES"

The Editorof the @snnecticut Mirror thinks
the caucus nomination of President is the "ul-
terror measure which has kept Congress SO
long together. It may have been one of the
measures contemplated, but we are satisfied
that ii is not the only one: there arc divers
affairs in embryo, which may all, however, be
8tiR-6orn, except the last "uiteriOr measure"
land that is, for the gentlemen to take their
pay, TO the last farthing.

the decision in the House Of Representatives
Yesterday, on considering the Resolution of

In the House Of Representatives yesterday
Mr. Randolph rose and stated that he intend
ed to submit proposition to the house in
which the best interests of the United States
were materially interested. He was proceed
ing in one ofthe most logical and able speech
es we ever recollect to have heard in that b.
dy, to elucidate his object In the course of
his observations he proved incontestibly that
the DEGREES of Berlin and Milan were not re-
pealed. He was called to order by Mr. Cal
houp; the Speaker decided that he was in Or
der. Mr.. Randolph was again proceeding
with his observations which bore hard on the
subject of declaration of war, at this time,
against Great Britain he was again called to
order By Mr.. Calhoun, and demand made
by that gentleman that he should specifically
state the motion he intended to make to the
house, in order that some Judgment might
be formed whether the remarks made were
applicable to the subject offered. The Speaker
decided that if was proper the gentleman MI.
R. should submit his motion in writing and
that it shoald be seconded. From this deci-
sion an appeal was taken by Mr.. r.
On the appeal debate arose and the cues
ton was taken by ayes and noes and were yeas
81 nays AZ.
Mr. r. then submitted the resolution which
appears in our congressional proceedings, and
was about to proceed in lis argument: A
question was made by MIR. Nelson, whether
he had right of proceeding before the house
had determined to consider the resolution !;
it was determined by the chair that he had a
right, but on second question, he reversed
his opinion and determined that the House
must first agree TO cousiderthe notion--fron
this decision Mr. R. again appealed-some
debate took place. The appeal was with
drawn.
