suggested that to examine ALL TIT
cases as there were not less than eight
hundred mentioned, and to silt the
evidence that had been exhibited in
them would be rather difficult, --since
at three days for each case which was
a correct average allowance, it would
take the committee about e400 day to
go through the reference while as
vast numbers Of the witnesses were
500 miles of, it might be not alto
gcther convenient to assemble them at
the door of the committee rooms, in
the mean time those claimants whose
rights, not even the committee OF
claims had questioned would be left
in extreme distress.
Mr.. Forsyth had said that the sole
evidence upon which the commission
er had decided some of the cases, was
that Of British Desertcrs. This was
denied by Mr.. Mills who stated thai
it was true the British soldiers were
exsmined--but that their testimony
was amply cOrroboratcd by the evi
teace of persons who were in tht
house at the time, and by number
VI attendant circumstances. The mo-
ton OF Williams was granted, !
the committee was accordingly dis
charged.

has been generally supposed an usnrpa-

Di.tnct, who II seems kad> commenced
the erection 1T certain buildings on the
north end of the B,tte;y, offensive to the
citizens of this metropolis. A remon-
STRANGE from the constituted authority Of
the city, was received by the commanding
gene al with apparent indifference. The
hon. the corporation Of this great cammer-
cial depot fit, as they ought 10 feel, the
full weight Of their Importance. They
proceeded With firm, cool and becoming
dignity. Atmid-day yesterday. the heat
subsidized, and the respectable and incen
.ed throng upon the Battery Dispersed
the contest having taken favorable and
pacific turn. The wo'kmen employed
were suddenly stopped Just in time to
prevent painful struggle between the
civil and military authori,ies--The gene
RAJ prudcatly gave way, and the honest
and indignant feeling OF the citizens pre-
vailed. Thus happily, in peace we are
