against exposing his life in this manner but disre
gaIding the advice of prudent persons, he took
on, his snakes at Mr.. Brisols, at the Conesus, and
while one was crawling on his mouth, rather be-
tween his lips, he received bite the temple, Of
which he died next morning spectacle Of indescri-

FRIDAY, March S.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole, Mr.. C0ndict in the Chair on the State
oil the Union, on the bill for amending the several
acts laying duties on Imports
Mr.. Tod moved to amend the 9Th section OF the
bill by adding to that article which Laws duty on
window glass OF several different sizes, the follow
ing proviso TO prevent the laws being evaded,)Wlz;
"provided that all window glass imported IN plates
uncut be included in the above duty
Mr. Tod moved TO add to the clause which lays
duty on iron, in bars or bolts, not manufactured,
in whole or in part by rolling, 81 IL per hundred
weight the following words, Qor the same pur'
pose Of preventing the duty's being evsded) ION
plough plates or share moulds duty OF one cent

duties ON nail rods, sheet iron, and iron silt and roll

1t is suggested that the committee appointed 10 mature

report, arranging the matter permanently, until they
have conferred with and consulted New York the sub
iect. The most implicit confidence is entertained that the
inhabitants Of that city will aid and facilitate object and
enable put into immediate operation the line esabs
lsed on the durable founda0n But previously
trade being entirely withdrawn from Philadelphia, il
requisite that suitable arrangements be made with the
Banks Of New York in regard to the receipt Of paper
is be supposed the balance of trade cannot be at
regulated in such to keep pace with
rendurts in that city. Hence trade will occasionally
suffer from depression, unless indulgence grants

ua interchange Of commodities produce an equilibrium.
is therefore hoped the committee will particularly cons

doubt but that such arrangement as will answer our

are not Of very decisive or interesting Character.
France is actively engaged in recruiting her navy
and enbarkng troops as she says, for her NVest
India Islands and as is appgehendtd by others for
South America. All is quiet in The interior Of
France, but Spain is of bloodshed, rapacity
and confusion. In Great Britain the prosperity of
her manufactures keeps her people employed and
we hear nothing of Reform. The Greeks continue
TO beat the Turks. Dean. Press
The king of Spain issued singular decree on the
second OF January, declaring that throughout all
his American domains, solemn re Ueuns shall be
chaunted in thanksgiving to the Almighty for the
benefit which, in his infinite mercy, he has granted
to the whole nation, in preserving himself and all his
royal family safe and sound, in the midst Of their
great and continual dangers;" and that through
out his said American domains, the political consl-
tuition Of the Spanish monarchy is forever abolished.
Their governments are established in conformity
to the laws and ordinances existing previous to Che
