HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The proceedings which occupied the house
of representatives this day were of an unu-
sual nature, and the sitting was protracted
beyond the usual hour. 1t is not practica.
BILE to give, at SO late an hour, any intelligi-
Bile account OF what passed; and, indeed,
were the proceedings actually reported they
were so complicated, that few but veteran
Legislators would understand them We
mean, however, to give an abstract Of the
proceedings, shortly. For this time our
readers must need be content with the fol-
following plain account of the subject of six
hours debate and voting, the yeas and nays
being called several times.

rights Of others, would become the execra-
ton of Europe" He then exhorted them TO
firmnes., tranquility and courage, as the
best security tor their independence. Al
the close OF his speech, all the DE- put'es rose
spontaneously, and declared that such were
the sentim ents OF all.
The Cortes OF Spain have appointed a
permanent deputation OF seven members,
three being Americans and four Europeans,
TO watch over the affairs of the nation during
the separation of the great assembly. Their
duties are to watch over the execution of
the laws, for the purpose of giving an &C
count to the Cortes, on its re-assemblIng,
of such infractions as may have been COM
mitted, and TO conyoke Cortes on the oc-
casions prescribed by the constitution, such
as the vacancy of the throne, or when the
king shall find himself in any extraordinary
embarrassments. Ii is, hence, probable that
the session of the Cortes will speedily ter
inmate.
The necessary orders have, we find, been
issued for the removal from Gotten Garden
of the witnesses brought over for the purpose
of giving evidence against her majesty, but
whose presence here is no longer deemed
necessary by bis majesty's government
On Wednesday last, the witnesses brought
over during and since her majesty's trial,
but who had not been examined in the house
of lords, received orders to hold themselves
in daily readiness to be escorted back to their
respective places of residence on the CONT
nent.-O5seroer.

however, as he added, was subject 10 {
