The National Intelligencer Of Friday
contains the following articles.
BY decision in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, il is rendered prob
able that the present session of Congress,
will not come TO a close before the frs
of May. There is much business before
Congress, and an apparent determination
to do as much of il as is practicable, and
all of it that is necessary.
The bill to amend the Revolutionary
Pension Law after four OF five days spent
on it, is just where it started, except that
instead OF being before committee Of the
whole, it is before select committee
The vote of more than two to Que against
its indefinite posiponement, is decisive
evidence of the opinion Of the House Of
Representatives that something ought to
be done, 10 regard to that law, though il
is found difficult to determine what that
something is.
The death Of Commodore Decatur has
spread deep gloom over our city. The
proceedings 10 the House OF Representa-
tives yesterday attest the interest felt OF
the subject, Had such honors, as were
proposed, ever been paid to any one but
a member of one or the other branch oil
Congress. there is no doub, but they would
have been bestowed on The present meian
choly occasion. As il was, the House adj
iourned al an hour much earlier than usu
al yesterday, aud il is probable will do $,
again to day.

Ia the House Of Representatives on

some feeling remarks, expressive of the
grief with which he was filled by the re-
cent melancholy occurrence, OF the death
of that distinguished naval officer, Com
modore Decatur, which he rather alluded
to, than announced, called the attention of
the House TO sundry resolutions, the i'm
port OF which was, that, when ii adjourns,

Com. Decatur on tomorrow and thatiis
members will. in respect 10 The memory of
the deceased, wear Grape on the. left arm
for the remainder of this session.
Mr.. Taylor of New York, required a
division Of the question: on these resolu-
tions, TO take il separately on each.
Mr.. Randolph intimated, that, if there
was the least objection to the resolutions
as moved. he should withdraw them.
Mr.. Tay Tor Of New Y ork. said that. in
opposing this motion, he felt it due TO
himself, TO state that, in respect for the
memory and public services of the deceas-
ed, he yielded to no member OF this house
mot even to the honorable gentleman
from Virginia. But it is with the most
painful regret (said Mr.. IT, am con

ton Of the laws of God and his country.
therefore cannot consent, however deep
ly his loss is deplored by this House, IN
common with the nation, to vote for the
distinguished and unusual honors proposed
by these resolutions.
Mr.. Randolph then withdrew the re-
solves he had offered; and moved that the
House do now adjourn.
- The question on this motion was taken
by yeas and nays. and il was decided 10
the negative, by s3 votes TO SO.

w important state paper, the very basis

| The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provl-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by

lished edition after edition of this instrument,

Sir William Blackstone has collaed and
commented on this fine copy of Magma

of art, and the tac-similes of the seals and
sgnatu' eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their =" Barons hold
Surely the Declaration Of American hide
peD.ience is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac smiles OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were

| tify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
| which calls Tor limitations of the correspon-
dents of Jurus or Of the arstocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reluc

We are firmly persuaded that the more
