manner in which these reports ARE to

which they are 1--WE hope not i;aprudent-

most of us composing this court are enr-

yet able, in the smallest degree, to com
prehend and admire the ''amiabie Sc

will disarm our readers, especially of the
profession, of that rigid and unsparins

missable. These reports are published,
merely as the Juvenile efforts of those,

rashness in thus presuming to publish

doctrines are to be discovered, only

Congressional Summary.

Mr.. Webster's motion for sending an
agent to Greece, has been eifectually
done away with by the rising of the
Committee on Monday last, the subject
not having been since called up. Whe-
Their it win again be brought before the
House, we cannot determine. il is
more than probable, however, That it
will not.
Much eloquent defamation has been
ELECTED by the motion--a motion well
calculated to operate on the feelings
and excite the liveliest sensations Of
human nature. 1t appears, however,
upon general view of the question,
that more arduous and enthusiasm oil
feeling have been Displayed; than solidi-
ty and strength of augmentation upon
either side. The brilliant associations
that are connected with the name of
Greece--the magical influence which
the name of Liberty attaches to itself
and the sympathetic emotions which the
frequent appeals to Che generosity and
humanity of the motion excited, seemed
to dazzle the supporters of the pill, and
blinded them to its probable impolitic
consequences. The determination, Of
Congress cannot be viewed as an eFl-
dence of want Of sympathy in their
cause. The sentiment Of the Presl-
dents message is undoubtedly that of
Congress, as it is of the natioa5 and the
expression of it by the President is re-
garded by many as sufficiently formal
indication of the national sentiment.
The bill for procuring the necessary
surveys on the subject of Roads and
Canals, has for some time occupied, the
attention of Congress 1t involves "a
constitutional question, and has given
rise to very warm and animated discus
sion. The gentlemen who have taken
principal parts in the debate on this sub
jcet are Mr.. T. r. Barbour, Mr.. Wood,
Mr. Mallary and MIR. Randolph against
les constitutionality. MIR. Clay, Mr.
iIalconbe, and Mr.. Hemphill in favour
of it. 1t appears that majority Of the
House have concurred in the. motion,
that Congress is constitutionally vested
with the power. .,s... a..
The resolutions which were so uaani-
mously passed in the House of Repre-
ssntatives, expressive Of their feelings
of gratitude andrespect for the Marquis
de la Fay cite, and that national vessel
should be prepared to convey him to
this country whenever his inclination to
visit it be signifed, have been sent up
to the Senate, and there also passed.
