PRE-EMpTIoNs FOR SEATS OF JUSTICE.
The subject in order was the follow
ing bill, lying over from last session:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
If Representatives., ofthe United States
Of yfmerica in Congress assembled, That
there he granted to the stale OF A laba-
ma, and to the territory Of Arkansas, al
the minimum price for which public
lands of the United States are sold, ibe
right Of prescription to one quarter sec
ton of land, in or near the centre OF each
county OF the state and territory atore-
said, for the establishment Of seals OF
Justice, in each of such counties Pro,
pided, The purchase be made before the
commencement of the public sales in
said state and territory OF the lands sur
rounding the quarter sections located
under this right of pre-emp ion: Ind
Provided, also, That the proceeds oil the
sales of each quarter section thus located
in said state and territory, shall be APP
propriated for the purpose OF erecting
public buildings in the county for which
i. 10 located, after dvduc,ing from the
nett proceeds of the sale made by ssid
state or territory the amour, originally
paid for the same PROVIDED further,
That the seat Of justice for said counties,
respectively, shall be fixed on the lands
so located and selected.
The House having, on motion of Mr..
Sterling, of New-Yors, resolved itself
into committee OF the whole upon the
subject, Mr.. Hill, in the chair
Mr.. Sterling stated ,ha. this bill con-
tanned provisions, in regard to the States
therein named, precisely similar TO those
granting like rights 10 the State Of Ohio !;
it had been asked for by those States,
and he believed was SO guarded in its
provisions as not to be susceptible of
abuse, if passed. II was no, to have cf-
feet unless the States in question gave
their assent TO ii; and, il they did SO, the
government of the United States would
be gamer instead OF loser by it, because
the property Of the United States would
gain value by the operation of the pro-
visions of the bill. Mr.. S. added, that
the members of the committee Of public
lands, at the last session, were unani-
mously in favorof the bill.

TRIUMPH OF COLOMBIA.

We have at length the satisfaction to announce
the termination Of the e0ar in Colombia. The willy
Morales has at last been forced to surrender at
discretion to the Republican arms. Porto Cavello
the only remaining place garrisoned by the Span
ards falls OF course. This interesting intelligence
is brought by Capt. Smith, of the brig Cleaner from
Rio de la Hache, who has communicated the fol-
lowing particulars, being oil that we are yet in pos
session Of. Cen Morales capituaIed on the 4th OF
August, giving up every thing. He was TO proceed
TO Cuba with seven eight hundred of his troops,
being all that remained of his army, who were ma
tiyes of old Spain. He had engaged never again TO
take up arms against Colombia. Great reiocings
and illumDalions had taken place at Rio Hache and
all the places where the news received Gen,
BERMuDEz who was to assume the command at
Rio Hache, had just arrived there in the soop OF
war Bolivar, from I4agura.
Thus after an arduous contest Of upwards oil
twelve years, has Colombia overcome her oppres-
sors, and established for herself honorable name
among the Nations. Her struggle has been similar,
and even harder than that of the United States in
the establishment of our Independence. May the
result be equally proptous 10 her happiness and
Iglory. sHer. .ddr.
