ceeding on the part Of Congress, the adj

deriDg the resolution to be read third
time,
The names OF the members were called
over. The Clerk having come to the end
OF the list, was about to pronounce the
result; when
Mr.. Kent, whose delicate state Of health
scarcely enables him TO attend the house.
and who was not 10 the house when his
name was called, requested leave 10 record
his name.
MIR. Jackson, under the same circum.
stances, except that he was within The
walls Of the house when his name was ca +
led, though not within The bar, made the
same request.
The Speaker offered to receive their
votes, if there was an unanimous consent
10 bis receiving them; the rule Of the
house peremptorly requiring that no
member should vote on any question un-
less he was within the bar Of the house
when his name was called.
Objection was made 10 their voting.
Mr.. Clay, finding that The objection to
these gentlemen would not be- Withdrawn,
moved to suspend the rule of the house
which forbids change of the rule with.
out one days notice, in order to suspend
or repeal the rule which forbids these
gentlemen from voting. After while,
however, he withdrew his motion, relying
on the magnanimity Of some member Of
the majority to move for reconsideration
Of the question.
The result Of the vote was then pro.
claimed, as follows: For the third read.
ing 80, against it SO. So the whole res
olution, amendment and all, was rejected.
Mr.. Livermore, who had objected to
the above contested votes, then gave no.
tice that he should, at IL O'Clock to.mer-
row, move for reconsideration of this
question, that every member might nave
an opportunity Of voting on it. And then
the house adjourned.

So the resolution was rejected.
On the 9th Instant, Mr.. Clay sub.
mitted his proposition which he made
in committee, Wis" For an outfit and
one years salary to such minister as the
President, by and with the advice and
consent Of the Senate, may send to any
government OF South America, which has
established, and is maintaining its indie
pendence on Spain, sum not exceeding
$4,000.
Mr.. Clay spoke at some length in fur.
Their support Of his proposition, on the
grounds formerly aud frequently taken in
support Of it. Mr.. Tucker regarded it as
an expression, by the house, of what was
the known feeling Of the country towards
the South Americans, called for by the
existing state of things. Mr.. Southland
spoke earnestly in favor Of the motion
Messrs. Wood, Rhea, Reid and Lowndes
delivered their sentiments against the mo-
ton. They considered it as inexpedient,
and as travelling out Of the proper sphere
Of this department Of the government;
and approved the course which the exec
utive had hitherto pursued 10 regard to
South America.
The question was then taken upon Mr.
Clay's motion by yeas and nays Yeas
