A message was received from the Senate
announcing ,ts adherence to the 4th, 9th,
and 9th amendm. nts. which were made
by that body, to the general appropIla-
ton bill.
Mr.. Walworth moved that this House do
adhere to its disagreement 10 the said a.
mendments of the Senate. The question
was divided, and the question on insisting
on the disagreement TO the amendment
proposing provision for running the boun-
Diary line between this government and the
late Spanish Provinces, being under con-

cede from the disagreement to the senate
| amendment above stated, prevailed, by a
considerable majority. -.

| the Senate had insisted, was that WINCH
proposed TO appropriate 5000 dollars tor
