HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.


MIR. HEMPHILL, from the commit
tee on Roads and Canals. reported a
bill concerning internal Improvements,
which was read twice, and ordered to
be laid on the table, and, with the re-
port, to be printed.
The Speaker laid before the House
thefollowing message from the Presi-
dent of the United States, which was
referred to the committee on the Judi
ciary.
To the House of Representatives.:
Just before the termination OF the
last session, An act entitled "An act
concerning wrecks on the coast of Flo
rida," which then passed, was pre-
sented to me, with many others, and
approved, and, as thought, signed.
A report to that effect was then made
to Congress. 1t appeared, however,
after the adjournment, that the evil
dence of such appreciation had not
been attached to it. Whether the act
may be considered in force under such
circumstances, is point on which 1t
belongs not to me to decide. To re
move all doubt on the subject, sub
init to the consideration of Congress
the propriety Of passing declaratory
act to that effect.
JAMES MONROE.
The House then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, Mr.. SToRRs
in the chair.
The committee proceeded to take
up bill to amend the Charter of Alex
andria, D. c.
There being TO proposition to a.
mend, the committee rose and report
ed the bill, which was ordered to be
engrossed and read a third time on
Monday.
The remainder Of the day was con-
samed IN the consideration of private
bills, many of which were passed.

to the editors of the Boston Patriot.
CHINA, Nov. 10th, ls24.-Commo-
dore Hull has experienced great deal
of difficulty in his intercourse with
gen. Rodil, the Royal governor of this
province. His communication with
the shore has even been interdicted by
the governor, and the consequence has
been, that the commodore has left the
port of Callao, with all the American
shipping, for the port of Ancon, where
they will probably remain until the &C.
cupation Of Lima by the Patriotic for
ces, which event is daily expected
There exists diversity of sentiment
among the American citizens in this
city, respecting the propriety of the
commodore's conduct in relation to
his correspondence with gen. Rodil,
and his leaving the port Of CAllao. l
defer to another moment, the rela-
ton of the circumstance which led
to the adoption of this measure, pre-
Stunning that the dispatches Of commo-
dore Hull to the Secretary of the Navy,
will detail the causes which occasioned
his departure from Callao, and the let
tiers which have been written to the
United States, by American citizens re-
sident in this country, will naturally
lead to an inquiry into the same, in
the House of Representatives"
