HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
Monday, February l9.
On motion of Mr.. Clay, it was
RESOLVED, That the committee on the Ju
dietary be.instructed toenquire whether any
and, if any, what, provision by law is neces,
sary TO secure the due execution of process:
issuing from the courts Of the United States.
[Frou few explanatory remarks Of Mr..
Clay, in Offering this rssolutIon,it appeared
that hls object was to enquire whether any
provision was necessary TO authorize Judge
OF the United States to provide for the con-
tingency of states refusing to the United
States the use of its jaiIs-a law Of that ef-
feet having actually been passed by the egis-
lature Of one of the states, (Obio,) with a
view to process of certain description.
On motion of Mr.. K. Moore, it was
Resolved, That the committee on com,
MERGE be instructed TO enquire into the ek-
pedency OF providing by law for the remo-
val of the distractions in the entrance of E.
RE harbor, in the state ofPennsylvania.
From Mr. Moore's explanation of bis OBJ
ject, it appeared. that his motion was foun-
ded on request from the Legislature of
Pennsylvania TO her senators and Represen-
tatlves in Congress, which were read.
The house then, on motion, of MIR. Stor.s,
proceeded to the consideration of the res
olution submitted by him few days ago,
with regard 10 the order of business in the
house; and the same was, after some con-
versatlon, agreed 10, in the following words:
Ordered, That, during the remainder Of
the present session of Cong ress business re-
ferred to committees of the whole house shall

By the arrival of the ship Magnet, in 30
days from Liverpool, we have received from
our obiiging and faithful friends and CORES
pondents regular files of London papers to
the 10th, Liverpool to the l2th, and Lloyd's
and the London shipping Lists to the 10Th
Oi December, all inclusive.
The intelligence from the Congress OF
Sovereigns at Troppau, appears to be of a
vague and uncertain character. In the Lon
doc Courier of the 7th December, it is said,
That news from rroppau, dated November
goth, says, that the SOvereigns had held a
= long conference and that il was asserted
that the British minister, Lord Stewart, had
the preceding evening presented, in the
name OF his government. note OF the high
est importance, relative, as it was thoug bit,
to the Affairs of Naples. Ii wa. also said,
that the emperor Of Russia, who had recent
ly received several couriers from St. Peters
burgh, was preparing TO return to his CAPT.
tai. Ii was moreover affirmed. that bis i'm
rerial majesty bad received advice that
treaty OF trade and navigation had been con-
Guided between England and the Porte
BY intelligence from Vienna, of the 95th of
November, il is stated that the Allied Sove-
reigns have decided upon removing from
Troppau to Vienna. This is said to have
been adopted upon the ground that the af-
fairs Of Naples would require that the con-
tsrences should be prolonged for some time.
The emperors of Austria and Russia we're
daily expected in Vienna. The king of
Prussia is stated to have been at Berlin on
the Goth of November.
Nothing certain appears TO have been
known respecting the determination of the
Soyereigns regarding Naples. Itwas stated
from Vienna, that tdey had declared that
