CONGRESS-.

The session of Congress terminated last
Wednesday. Our Journal is brought down to
Tuesday, which was the last day on which any
bill could Wednesday being devoted,
according to new rule of Congress, to the
completion of business by the President
Much of the more important business is, after
all, deferred to the next session. Among
other subjects, thus postponed, is the n,odifi-
cation of the Tariff, and the proposed system
Of Retrenchment. The bill for reducing the
compensate. of members of Congress, was
not finally acted on. We are glad it has not
passed. 1t is mistaken policy which would
resort to such measure. Let Congress be
well paid, but let them see to it that the
publick treasure is not wasted by subordinate
agents. There lies the greatest evil to be
guarded against.

ERIE CANAL.

One hundred and eleven boats have
already been registered at the toll-office
this spring. Grea. improvements have
been made in the construction Of canal
boats since last year. Forty tons bur-
then is found to be preferable TO larger
size. The boats now most approved Of
produce but little motion in the water,
and the wake which caused such injury
by its action upon the banks, is prevent
ed. These boats, with two horses each.
carry 400 barrels offlour, at the rate of
three miles an hour.
One raft passed this yesterday, which
was 1920 feet long, drawn by l2 horses,
and managed BY 40 men, containing
100000 feet of fencing stuff for the ca
nal between this and Schenectady. An
other equally large, with cedar posts,
for the same object, left the canal at
Rome, and descended the Mohawk river,
after discharging their horses, and I'm
limbering its cribs, which were about so
feet each.
Live fish, caught in Oneida lake and
put into cribs, made for the purpose, and
towed down by the boats, are constantly
to be found at the docks and in the Sins.
for SALE
Two hundred and six tons of merchan-
die, have the week pastbc forwarded
west on the canal. From the hustle
whichnow prevails in our streets it would
seem that this was only the commence
ment Of the Spring business.

me that part of the papers taken from
Col. CoppiDger are ready to be deliver
ed, which the American commissioners,
after hG0iag examined them, have adiudg-
ed TO be returned to Spain, ] do,not
think myself authorized to admit their
return in this manner, but in the mode
which demanded in my note Of the 22d
of November last.
AS | have seen by the publick papers
that the President has communicated to
Congress the note, which you were
pleased to address to me, dated the 9th
inst. and that it has been ordered to be
printed, take the liberty Of requesting
that you will have the goodness to use
your influence that this my answer may
be treated in the same manner, that
Congress and the publick may be inform
ed that if | have not answered the first
part OF it, as respects the general bust
ness, it is only to wait for the instruc-
tons OF my government, but that have
answered what was personal.

my distinguished consideration.

what is termed in England the light cart breed
his colour beautiful dapple grey--his points,
bone, muscle and sinews, and perfect symme-
try, are such as cannot fail to attract the at
tention of those acquainted with the form and
structure Of horse---his temper fine, his
walk, for so heavy an animal, light, quick
and graceful-h;s trot easy, and his power
in the draft (Which has been tested) immense.
In England it is considered that eros
ses between this breed and well selected
Mares, have produced some of the most use
ful and noble Horses in the kingdom, for the
draft, coach, or road.--Good pasturing for
Mares.

[Frona the New- York Statesman. |

Dsplomdtick.-lt is stated that Major
General Henry Dearborn, of Boston, has
been nominated by the President, as
Pienipotentiary Extraordinary 10 Portu-
gal; but it is not stated that the Senate
has corcurred in the nomination. AS
that body has oflate become little re-
tractory, it is moi improbable that ma
jority will g not advise and consent to the
appointment" although the ci-devant
General should be re-nominated. The
outfit would be $4,000, and the annn-
al salary S 5000 more. We cannot per-
ceive the Importance of sending any
minister to Portugal at present; but if
the government are determined to Gre
ate aslnecure, and support dipIomatick

needs such place. and who has $ done
the state some service" The Advocate
of this morning hints, that there is a
place near Lisbon, possessing a fine
wholesome air, where the Lake fever
probably never prevails; and here, it is
true, our plenipotentiary might very
pleasantly repose, forgetting his laurels
amid groves of oranges.

ryof STATE
PHILADELPHIA, GOTH APRIL, 1929.
SlR---l have received your note of
the 9TH instant, in which you are pleas
ed to communicate TO me the reasons
which induce the President not only TO
refuse TO his Catholic Majesty the salts
faction which he demanded, in his roy
al name, for the insults offered by Gen
eral Jackson 10 the Spanish commissa-
ries and officers, but to approve fully Of
the said chiefs conduct.
Before answering the contents of the
said note, | thought ii my duty TO request
instructions from my government; and
therefore, without delay, | have laid it
before them. Until they arrive, there
fore, | have confined myself to two OBJ
servations; lst. If, in my note OF the
18th of November last, ! said, that as
General Jackson had not specified the
actions which had induced him to de-
clare the Spanish officers expelled from
the Eloridas criminal, nor given proof
of them, thought myself authorized to
declare the accusation falsc.-l did not
this through inadvertency, but upon the
evident principle that every person ac-
cused has a right to declare an ACCUSE
tion destitute of proof, false, and much
more an accusation not pretended TO be
proved. This assertion of mine does
not presume that / an, not persuaded of
the merit Of said General, and of the claim
which he has upon the gratitude of his
country; but although tits believed the
duty Of his country 10 eulogize and re-
ward his eminent services, yot it will be
lawful for representative of a power
outraged by him, to complain of his con.
duct. cannot persuade myself that, to
aggrAvate my said expression, you could,
have thought that had been wanting
in due respect, it not being possible for
that opinion to have entered your mind,
when, by his orders, Mr.. Forsyth had
sent 10 the Spanish Minister, on the lst
Of September last, a note, in which,
complaining Of the Captain General of
the Island Of Cuba, he accuses him of
dishonourabie pecunicry NOTICES, in not
having delivered The archives, without
giving any proof Of so injurious ain as
sertlon; and | must remark, that the
rank of General Mahy IN Spain, is at
least as elevated as that of General Jack
son in the United States, and that the
services performed by him TO his coun-
try render him as worthy as be Of its
consideration and respect.
