board Mr.. Coppinger, son of the Governor
at the latter place, who was forcibly taken
on, of the schr. Mary, short time since, on
her passage from this port for Matanzas.-
The commanders of the privateer made the
fact of his son being on hoard, known TO the
Governor. and required supply OF provisi-
ons and water, as condition Of his release.
Governor Coppinger refused complying with
the request, calling the commander and his
crew, at the same time, a band of Bucca-
neers, who were unworthy of any assistance.
1t was finally. through the humane exertions
of the above gentleman. who furnished US
with these particulars, that young Mr. Cop

The wheat harvest has just closed,
and more bountiiui crop was never
produced. The prospect OF corn, hemp,
tobacco, and almost every other agricul-
snral production, is greater than in al
most any former year. With all the
blessings OF plenty, there is still gloomy
ioreboding Of distress and misery. No
prospect OF a market for any of the pro-
ductions of our soil. Indeed, we have
conyersed with several gentlemen, who
have only gathered in so much Of their
grain as will answer for family use, and
then turned their stock on the remain.

submitted it to the house:
Resolved, That COMMITTEES be APP.
pointed. to join such committee as may
be appointed by the Senate, to take
into consideration and report what bu-
siness is necessary to be acted upon
before the close Of the present session,
and also TO report on VIVA, day it will
be proper, consistently with the pub
lie interest. for the Congress oil the
United States to adjourn, aud close the
present session.
MIR. Baldwin said he hoped the resolution
wsuld not be adopted. The house ought,
before adopting such resolution, at least to
have progressed so far as to be able to see its
courss clear. We have in fact, said he, but
just commenced the main business Of the
session He was not willing TO talk Of ad-
journing, until sumo progress forward had
been made, 30 as that a reasonable prospect
might appear Of such a dispatch Of the pub
; lie business might justify an adJourn-
menl.
Mr.. Hardin also opposed the proposition.
J At future day, he said, he should have no
obi ection to the adoption of such PROPOSE
/ ton. In all probability Congress would yet
remain in session for weeks; and to raise u
committee now to report what bills 1t is me-
csssary to pass before adjournment, would be
at once TO lesislate out of the house all bills
| of a private nature, so important to the indi-
viduals concerned in them, and many other
matters, already reported on by comrnlttees.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Thursday, Feb. %.

As soon as the sitting was opened,
Mr. Randolph rose, and after some feeling
remarks, expressive of the grief with which
he was filled, by the recent melancholy oc.
currence, of the death of that distinguished
Naval Officer. Commod1re Decatur. which
he rather alluded to, than announced, called
the attention Of the House to suniry resou-
tions, the import of which was, that, when
it adiouros, i. will adjourn to meet again on
Saturday; that it will attend the Funeral of
the late Com. DEcArUR on Tomorrow; and
that its members will, in respect TO the
memory Of the deceased, wear Grape on the
left arm, for the remainder OF this session.
( Mr. Taylor Of New York, required divi.
sion OF the question or these resolutions, t0
take it separately on each.
Mr.. Ranjui,,h intimatei, that if there was
the least objection t. he resolutions as move l.,
he should withdraw thrm.
MIR Taylor vt New York said, that in 90
posing this motion, he felt it due 10 himself
to rtate, that ia respect for the memory and
public services Of the deceased, he yielded to
no member Of this house--not even to the
honorable gentleman from Virginia. But it
IS with the most painful regret isays Mt. T)
am constrained to say, that he died in the
vipla;inn of the laws OF God and his country.
j therefore cannot consent. however deeply
his loss is deplored by this House, in common
with the Nation, to vote the distinguished
and unusual honors proposed by these rcsolu-
tions.
DIR. Randolph than withdrew the resolves
he had offered; and moved that the House do
now adjourn.

SAVANNAH SUFFERERS.

On the lSih instant resolution was offerc
ed in the Legislature Of Pennsylvania, 10 res
peal the late law granting 10000 dollars TO
the Savannah sufferers. The ground of The
resolution, as stated in its preamble, is, that
sit is evident by the late proceedings Of the
Mayor and Common Council of Savannah,
in refusing the proffered donation of sister
State in mo"ey and other property to the
amount at 1900 dollars, and directing the
same to be returned, that their sufferings can.
not be so extreme as to justify the renting
of the som directed to be given by the above
recited act."-The resolution was rejected
by vote Of 40 to SO.
