WARRINGTON. Feb. 10.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 49,
The bill for partially suspending the non
importation act was not yesterday ia
ken up in the House of Representatives, as
I'VE expected it would have been. We are
inclined to think its passage at present
doub,f full it will be warmly opposed.
The committee of the Senate, to whom
for regulating the employment of foreign
seancen, have reported several amendments
to it, which we understand do not materially
affect the principle of the bill.
a resolution was yesterday introduced
into the House of Representatives b. MIR.
Grundy, contemplating an extra-sessicn Of
Congress, to commence in May next; but
was rejected by IN ajority of II votes
every federalist, we believe, voting against
it, and OF course great majority or the
republicans for it.
The object avowed By the mover and
supporters of the resolution, was to fix an
early day for the meeting of Congress to
provide for the deficiencies of the revenue
for the year 1914, since it appeared evil
dent to them that sufficient time did not
remain to act on the subject at the present
session. The opponents of the motion we're
of two classes; the opposition, usually so
termed, who are anxious for the introduce
ton of taxes, and for the repeal of the nor-
importation act; and part Of the Kepub-
licans, some of whom think the public ser
vice requires an Immediate mod 6cation IF
the non-imp ortation act, others who are
anxious that the tax bills should be intro
duced, and some who think both ought to
pass. Much diversity of opinion prevailed
and not little warmth was displayed it
debate.
ave do not BY any means consider the
decision which was had to be conclusive /;
we do not, because many who voted against
IT intimated their disposition to vote for an
Extra Session, but not at the present mo-
ment, because such vote would operate
forthwith to postpone the consideration of
the suspension-law and Of the tax-bills un
til the next session.
We Cannot omit on this occasion tn ex
press the regret we feel at seeing a division
among the republicans OF the House, at A
time when union is more than ever necessa-
~ to resist the arts of their political oppo

A SKIRMISH.

Near midnight Oh Friday night, two
Dsrges landed at Swans point IN Charles
county, about 90 miles below, with 50
men, for the purpose OF plundering, It
vas presumed They were seen BY a
party of the militia and repulsed. There
was some confusion on the part OF the
militia, most OF them having arrived in
he course OF the preceding day, and
not being arranged in any order.--
An officer Of militia, captain Neal, was
killed, another wounded, Or. Hanson
probably by accident, the affair having
taken place so late. Colonel Mon &c,
with part OF captain Caldweil's troop ar
rived on the ground just as the actiou
terminated +; but there was no further
attempt made Old the part OF the enemy.
We have not heard what injury the enc
my sustained, but it is said that several
dead or wounded we're carried off the
beach when they retrcated.
The next morning they fired seven or
eight shot from one OF the frigates at the
house in which colonel NJ. and part OF
he troop were at breakfast, but without
effect. Nat. Intel.
