THE GREEKs-A CAUTION

1tE 0NCtho-A SAO IlON.
II seems from information received /" by the
Treasurer of the Greek Fund.-" that gross mpo.
sl.ion is attempted by person. or persons, travel
ing through the country with the protested design
OF raising money in aid of the Greeks, for which
an authority is pretended although there is good rea.
son to believe, that it is merely an attempt at imposi
tion. The most etfectual way Of defeating it is to
give general nstoriely 10 this impudent scheme 10
extort money from the yolent.-Dem Press.
The Committee Of the Greek Fund acknowI-
edge the receipt of $3.50, contributed by the young
men OF this city at the Church in Vandewater
street, after sermon preached by the Rev. Hooper
cumming. The sermon was particularly intended
Tor young men, and We learn that upwards of 1000
were present. The Committee also acknowledge

Surveys for Roads and Canals.
The Senate resumed the unfinished
business of yesterday, being the bill
from the other House TO provide for
the necessary surveys for roads apd
canals; Mr.. Barbour in the Chair.
Mr.. Talbot rose, iD explanation OF
some remarks he had heretofore made
on this subject. He conceived that no
gentleman, by voting for this bill, would
thereby pledge himself to support a ge-
neral system Of Internal Improvenents,
when the same shall be brought for
ward.
Mr.. Smith, thought the passage of
this bill might, hereafter, be taken as q
recognition of the power Of CoDgressto
construct roads and canals-he feared.
that it might be considered as the en-
tering wedge, to the great system Of i'm"
provements, the power to adopt which,
he for one. was not disposed t0admit, he,
therefore, proposed to amend The bill,
by attaching to it proviso, that Doth-
ing herein contained shall be taken to
affirm. or admit, the power Of Congress
on their own authority, to make roads,
and canals, in any state Of the Union
MIR Roggles made some remarks in
favor Of the principles of the bill. and
of pursuing such measures as would
tend to produce 8 more intimate con-
Dexion between the Atlantic states and
the valley Of the Mississippi, which
must hereafter contain population
bearing great proportion to that Of
the whole country. The interest Of
both sections Of our country. he argued,
would be greatly promoted by such q
measure.
MIR. yandyke proposed to amend the
amendments, by inserting q provision
that. previous to any survey being made
under this act, the consent Of the state
in which such survey is to be made,
shall be obtained. The question was
then put and decided in the negative
Yeas Is. Noes %.
The question then REQUIRED on the a.
mendment proposed by Mr.. Smith.
Mr., Barton moved to amend the 40
mendment by striking out the word
admit and inserting in it's stead the
word deny so that it should read,
that nothing herein contained shall be
taken to affirm, or deny, the power of
Congress op their own authority. to
make roads and canals, in any state Of
the Union
The question on this amendment was
decided in the negative--Yeas 10, Noes
SO.
The question upon the amendment
as proposed by Mr.. Smith was then
decided in the ne gative-Yeas2l, Nays
Is.
Mr.. Hayne then moved TO postpone the
further consideration of the bill ill Tues
day next. This was not agreed to.
Mr.. Lloyd Of Mass. stated the grounds
upon which he should vote for the bill -
ne did not consider it as involving the
question upon the constitutional right OF
Congress to make public improvement
but merely as a means of obtaining inlor-
nation, which might be Of great import
ance TO the government.
Mr.. Macon explained the reasons WIZ
be should vote against the bill. He cou'i
not believe that this bill was clear from III"
cons titutional objection. which be tbouEht
very torcible and unansweIable; ann h
