IN SENATE.
Several written messages were received from the
President of the United States, all Of which, except
The following, we're upon Executive business:
/ 10 the Senate Of the United States
By an Act OF the last session oil Congress, II was
made the duty of the Accounting Officers of the
Treasury to adjust and settle the accounts OF Daniel
D. Tompkins, late Governor Of the State of New
York. on principles of equity and justice, subject
to the revision and final decision Of the President Of
the United States. The Accounting Officers have
in compliance with this act, reported to me bal.
ancc of 1885 100 in favor OF Governor Iomkpins
which report have had Under consideration, ogeih
er with his claim TO al additional allowance, ano
should have decided on the same before the present
time, had not delayed my decision at his re
quest From the view which have taken Of the
subject, am satisfied, considering all the circum
stances Of the case, that larger sum ought to be
allowed him than that reported by the Accounting
Officers of the Treasury. No appropriation, how
ever having been made by the Act, and 1t appear
ing, by recent information from him, that the sum
reported would afford him an essential accommoda
lion at this time, the subject is submitted to tht
consideration of Congress, with view to that oh

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr.. WEBSTER, OF Massachusetts,, submitted, fol-
consideration, the following:
RsOlued, That provision ought to be made, BY
law, for deIrayng the expense incident to the ap
pOntment of an Agent, OF Commissioner, t'
GREECE, whenever the President shall deem It ex
pedient TO make such appointment
In Offering the resolution, Mr.. WEBSTER stated
it was far from being his wish, in any manner, II
commit the House, in this OF any oil the Polltica
contests OF Europe but the President OF the Uni
ted States having, in his Message 10 Congres no
only expressed belief that the Greek nation IN 1t
present struggle with its oppressors, had the goo
wishes of the whole civilized world, but also advance
the opinion that the Turkish dominion over tina
country was lost forever; he thought that, 1t sue
we're the fact, it important that congress
should act upon the subject. The United oia'e'
he said had diverse interests in the Mediterranean
which might be serouly affected more or less, b
the course of events in that quarter. The mai
object he had in view, he confessed, was to ootal
from this House an expression, responsive to tn
sentiment Of the Message, in reference to the sal
Tl6ees and suHerngs OF that heroic people-sa
Fl6ces and sufferings which ought to excite II
