Congress has been turned to the consideration
o. the important points embraced in that
message.
In the Senate it is followed up with an ASST
duty which indicates an intention to dispense
with summer session, which had at first
been deemed indispensable, and two or three
bills, predicated ON the recent change In our
relations. have already passed that body, one
OF them, OF commercial character, highly
important To the mercantile interests, which,
1t will be perceived by the Journal of ye.ter-
days Proceedings. received an unanimous
vote. Others are in progress, and several
are yet before committees. which will require
some time to mature and, with ali the ASST
duty displayed on the occasion, we much
doubt whether they can be perfected at the
present session.
In the House of Representatives, bill to
fix the Military Peace Establishment has
been reported. There is nothing more OBJ
vious, than the expectancy of an Immediate
reduction of the burthensome charge of our
military establishment but. from the extent
OF the reduction proposed by the House,
1T is probable the question will be involved
| in some difficulty, it being we'll understood
| that the senate is averse to so extensive di-
minution of our actual force, and, in tho pre-
sent aspect of affairs, will probably not con-
sent to 1t. as is Proposed by the committee of
| the House.
! Upon the oholc, it appears to us, as Con-
gress nave now but one week to sit, it will
be almost inpracticable to digest before adj
lournnent system of peace measures
Desirable as 1t is that our commercial regula-
uoas should be Immediately placed on a
stable foundation. which shall support and
encourage the mercantile enterprise now
rushing to the ocean, and at the same time, to
protect our manufactures, we think there is
reason to fear the object cannot be fully, tho
it may be partially, accomplished within the
short space of seven days remaining of the
present session. Indeed, by requiring the
Secretary of the Treasury to report at the
nert session Tariff of Duties, it is suf-
hciently indicated that the House of Re-
representatives. contemplate no change at
the present session of the rates of the ex-
listing duties on imported merchandise
