81 A't~~S3 ssF'"' -
MIR. Noble, from the committee Of pen
sions, 10 whom was referred the bill from
the other house. in addition to the revolu-
tionary pension act. of March i8, 1918, re-
ported the same, with an amendment, lpro-
posing that no person receiving salary or
compensation for services, from the govern
ment, to the amount of --- dollars, shall
receive pension under this act)
The senate took up the report OF the com.
mittee of claims, uniayorable to the petl-
tim of George Love, and concurred therein.
On motion Of Mr.. Elliott, the senate took
up the bill declaring the consent of congress
to an act of the legislature of Georgia, OF
the 10th December, 1918.
Mr.. Elliot briefly explained the objects
and utility of the act of Georgia, referred
TO !; and
The bill was ordered TO be engrossed for
third reading.
The senate took up the motion of Mr.. Nor
ril, to direct an enquiry into the expediency
of an earlier meeting Of the next session OF

Mr.. Morril made some remarks to shew
the propriety of an earlier meeting at the
next session, as it was obliged to terminate
On the Sd of March, to allow due time for
the transaction of the public business, &c.
The resolution was negatived without
division.
/ NAVIGATION BILL.
The senate resumed the consideration Of
the bill supplementary TO the act concern
| ing navigation.
| Mr.. Brown stated that, in framing the
bill, the committee of foreign relations had
conformed it to the instructions of the senate
as contained in the resolution introduced by
Mr.. King, of N Y, But it appearsd to him
that the object OF the bill would be more Ell
rectually attained, and some trouble saved
in perfecting the details OF the reported bill,
| if the existing law were re-enacted, with
the additional features which this bill propo-
sed-ihe present bill being merely an ex-
tension of the principle OF The act of april,
ll8i9. Mr.. B. therefore offered an amend
ment, which was, substantially to re-enact
the provisions OF the existing act, and to ex-
tend it SO as to apply to all the ports oil the
British West Indies, the tree ports as we'll
as those which had been closed.
/ This amendment was supported by Mr..
King, OF N. Y. who added a few remarks to
/ what had been submitted by Mr.. Brown. in
explanation OF the object ofthe modification,
which was chiefly to render the bill less am
Ibiguous or doubtful than it might be in its
original shape and
The amendment was adopted without OBJ
Election.
\ Mr.. Parrot, after few remarks to shew
the proprety of his motion, proposed so to
amend the bill as to extend its provisions to
all ports and places in Upper or Lower Ca
NADIA but subsequently, changed it SO as to
| apply to Lower Canada only.
/ The bill was then postponed to Monday.
