Mr.. BnrrilI moved that The senate fecede
from their said amendment.
mr.. johnson Of Kentucky having promised
that he had not before troubled the senate
with any remarks upon this ubject submit,
ted few observations TO shew that as tho
other House had manifested so decided an
opposition to the prosecut nof The Missou.
ri expedition above the Council Bluffs, It
was to be expected that the executive would,
from respect for that decision, not desire at
present 10 60 beyond that point; that the
House had also decided that they approved
this expedition as far as the Council Bluffs !;
that the Senate had yielded to the House the
first point. bat thought it important that a
sufficient sum should be appropriated to sup
port the expedition Of the Council Bluffs, and
10 enable the Secretary Of War to comply
with obligations entered into according TO
law: that this object required but 3O,OoO
dollars more than the House had agreed to ;
and be thought. if the Senate would still IN
sist on its amendment. so as TO bring the sub
ject again before the committee Of confe'
renee, an arrangement would ba agreed to
by which this sum would be yielded by the
other House, seeing that the Senate had
yielded to the House in its views as related
to the Mandan Villages, &c. He therefore,
with these views, hoped the Senate would
not recede, but would again insist on their
amendment.
The question was then taken on receding
from the amendment, aud deeiGed in the at.

COMMUNICATION

On this day, the citizens OF this place
will assemble in town meeting. tor the
purpose transacting the business oi the
general election. And as this meeting
will rot occupy the whole ofthe day, y
will afford an opportunity to every pes
son, who has the welfare of the inhabit.
ants in view, to consider the necessity oi
adopting some rules ard regulations, in'
the benefit OF the town.--it is Of the
greatest importance, that our fish mar
ket should be put in order, for the acs
commodation of such persons, as are in
the practice of selling fish. They
should know, that the nayke, is the ohy
place, where they are allowed to take
stand, and law should be Immediately
enacted, with an increased penairy for
every breach thereof; and after having
been so enacted. it should be rigidJ ca

tst care should be taken, to have our
streets, cellars, &c. i'll such ordsr as ~
prevent, if possible. contagious diseases
from spreading among our citizens.--.
II this early period we have accounts
from Havana, that the yellow fever is
prevailing there. Every person whu
has come to the years OF understanding,
n,list be convinced Of the necessity Of
strictly enforcing the quarantine laws:
no vessel arriving from the West. lndies
should be admitted to run Immediately
to our wharves they should be regular
" quaran,ined; the officers and crews
should not be permitted to land, until
the expiration OF reasonable time and
while the vessel, thus performing quar-
antine, remains at the place poinled OUT,
she should be thoroughly examined, and
in case OF sicknt IS being, or having been
on board, every article of clothing should
be properly cleansed, and the vessels

and white ashed She will then, and
not before, be, fit to come to the wharf.
Our climate IS healthy, but yet TO re-
ly on that alone, for our protection, will

are offered to the public, irom the best
of motives, and should they meet the
appreciation Of the reader, and be the

purpose of taking off his stockings, which

the road, drove ON to a pace in the ice
where there had recently been an air mole,

and the sleigh upset and sunk, with the
two women and child. MIR. Is. sprung

driving was unable to swim, but strag-
