The bill proposes to change the duty

discussed at large, and fully reported, when
the subject was before the House, in the
shane Of a resolution, reported by the COM

On motion 0: Mr.. Lowndes, the till was
co amende1, rs to defer the expiration OF
~. existing duties to the 30ih OF June next,

don,ing some others OF AN unimport:nt
character
Mr.. Lowndes proposed an amendment
IN the bill, the object of which was 10 add
100 pcr cent. to the amount of the present
duty on the capacity of the still on licenses
fur one year, and To make the price OF IL
censes for short periods bear the same pro-
portion as the duty imposed on the license

This motion produced considerable dis

and Mrssrs. Hardin, Johnson of Ky. Tuck

On motion of Mr.. Ross, the bill was "a
mended. by striking out the proviso which
RENTED to stills wholly employed in dis

After some further amendment, not af-
fccting any principle, the committee rose,
reported progress, and obtained leave to

BUFFALO, March S.

BUFFALO, March 5.
II base t7anSQcfion.-The feelings of the
public have been much excited in this vi
cinity, the last week. in c. nsequence Of the
apprehension of British deserter, who
had been residing in this county for some
time past. Tne story. as we have heard
it, is briefly this-The descrter, who had
been living with person at Hamburger,
and had become indebt, d to HIM for cloth
ing, left his services without paying him.
The person followed him to this place, had
him arrested; after ia ing in his attempt
to induce him to return tt his service, took
him TO Back Rock, with the aid of a con-
stable, and under color of legal process ;
he then carried him over to the Canada
side, delivered him up to the British au-
thority, and received the reward for his
apprehension. Tue deserter, as we have
since understood, was marched to Fort
George. where he will be tried, and pro
baby be executed. We forbear making
any comments on this outrageous transac-
ton, as we believe the laws OF the coun
try sufficiently ample and severe to punish
crimes Of this nature: and we know that
the feelings Of our citizens are sufficiently
awakened TO put these laws in force. II
we had dispos ton to excite public indis-
nation, We should now say more but we
wish to have no mans cause pre- judged by
popular prejudice, however heinOus may
be the offence. One Of the persons con
cerned in this transaction has been ARE ST
ed--tbe other has not been taken.

change the mode Of compensation Of the
members, will doubtless attr Ct the atten-
ton of the people. 1t has been sad. that
it will not meet the public appreciation.
We apprehend it will be approved. in the
same view in which it was approved by
Congress that is, as an cmendation of
the existing provision respecting the pay
of the members, if not the best system that
could be devised. Whether it will have
tendency. as supposed by the mover, to
shorten the sessions, the practice under it
must determine. What is gained by the
interpretation of selfish inducements to short
sessions, will, VIC rather apprehend, be
quite counterbalanced by the sentiment of
nonor which is appe led to by the bill. IF
t0c sessions are not shortened by this mea-
sure, the effect of it will be to augment, in
no great degree, the compensation Of the
members. We have scarcely ever heard
1t questioned, that the compensation OF the
members ought to be increased, for rea>
sons sufficiently obvious, one OF which a
lone is conclusive that, since the existing
compensation was fixed, money has depre-
clatsd in the relative value in the ratio OF
full fifty per cent. If the sessions are OF
the average annual length to which they
have extended for the last eight years, &
are to be curtailed by the change, the
compensation will, perhaps not amount to
one-halt more than 1t has been heretofore.
All estimates, however, Of the effect of this
measure must be conjectnred. 1t is GER
tain that it originated in honorable motives,
and that it is sustained by strong argu-
ments. if il shall appear in practice to be
announcement or prejudcial to the public
service,it may, and certainly wiil be a.
mended or repeated. Nat. I'M.
