HOUSE OF REPaEsE yTATNkS.
REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.
The House resumed the consideration OF
the bill to reduce the Military Peace Estab-

Mr.. Storrs submitted to the II. Ia number
of remarks 10 shew the inexpediency of a.
tolishing the existing provisions for the IN
spection of the army, aud Of the substitute
proposed by the bill for one Assistant In
spector, and concluded bis remarks with a
motion to strike out the clause providing an
Assistant Inspector General. with view
Of moving afterwards TO insert provision
for one Inspector General.
The amendment was opposed by Messrs.
Williams, ofN. C. Fnot and Cooke, and
was supported by Messrs. Storrs, Gross, OF
N. Y. Robertson, Smith. of Md. and Mer-
Ger. The debate continued until near o.
clock when,

amendment, j: was decided in the afdrma-

sion for p" one Inspector General )" and the
motion was agreed to without debate ayes

Mr.. Ford moved TO amend the bill by stri
king out the provision for one Apothecary
General, conceiving that the duties be-
longing to that Office might be we'll dischsrg-
ed by the Surgeon General. and the Office
dispensed with, to shew, whic b he offered
several remarks.
, The amendment was opposed by MI. Floyd,
aad was negativei by large majority.
Mr.. Mercer moved to strike out the fifth
section Of the bill, which abolishes the to.
biographical corps-which motion was mega
| lived without division.
! On motion OF Mr.. Nelson, Of Va. who
asked for the opponents Of the bill an oppor.
tunity to present their views on the subject,
The House adjourned.
6TTwo inaccuracies occurred in our
daily paper of yesterday, which deserve cor
rection. The 6rst was in stating the motion
Of MIR Lathrop in the House of Representa-
tives. whose object was not to deprive the
officers named OF all rank. but BY striking
that which is proposed by the bill, to leave
, them their present rank, and reducing only
their emeluments. The second error arose
from Misunderstanding Mr.. Trimble to say
old army, instead of Roman army, in bis re-.
marks relative to retaining the pay of SOL
diers. Errors Of this kind, arising from
mistaking words Of nearly the same sound,
are incident to the position oftbe reporters

distance from, or in the rear Of The member
