without distinction Of personal feelings to-

II was the result OF an impression, on the one
hand, that, as Mr.. Edwards has been sent for
Il is due to consistency, that he should, ON his
arrival here, be heard by the committee of the
House, as the House cannot itself, with any

saying that report has been made favorable
to MIR. Crawford. without ogording his accu-
ser an opportunity in person 10 sustain his
charges. In what passed yesterday, on this

The first object of Internal Improvement, in
which, under the benefcent act of the last
Session, the attention of the Executive has
been directed, sls, we understand, a Survey
Of the proposed Route of the Chesa peake and
Ohio Canal, to its termination on the Western

preliminary work is about to be undertaken,
ny a Board of Surveyors, whose capacity and
experience afford the promise Of almost
mathematical accuracy TO the results of their
labors. General Bernard, we believe, is at

so much practical knowledge of the subject, is
also engaged, and has gone on TO Uniontown

The Session of Congress terminated, at an
early hour yesterday, most of the Members
having departed from the City before the adj
tournament took place {; all that remained to be
done being mere matter of form. All the bill.
which passed the two Houses of Congress
were approved by the President, and have be
come laws. As the passage of every bill, in
each House, has been so distinctly mark. d.
that any one interested has been able to as
certain whether or not any particular law has
passed, and, as the laws will be rapidly pub
lished, we shall not at present attempt to make
up list Of the acts passed during the Ses-
sion, which would be almost Numerically im-
perfect. complete List, for the guidance of
Publishers of the Laws, & others, shall be pub
lished in few days. rio.
The reader will discover that there was. in
yesterdays Proceedings in the House, further
allusion to the case of Mr.. Edwards and his
Memorial, and some feeling excited nv state
ment of fact contained in a Letter from Mr..
Randolph to his Constituents, which letter
also, being necessary to understand the con-
nents upon 1t. we have copied TO-DAY. The
Conmittee of Investigation, now present in the
City. consists of Mr.. Floyd, Mr. Webster. MI.
Livingston, Mr.. Taylor, and Mr. Macarthur.
They are required to sit after the adjournment.
and prosecute their inquiries. No news has
been heard, as yet, of Mr.. Edwards. nor
indeed of the arrival of the Messenger of the
House at his residence ID.
