for consideration.

for conducting the business of the Senate, the fol-
lowing:-"And Committee, tu assist Of FIVE mem
bers, on Roads and Canals.
The resolution submitted yesterday, relating
TO The appointment of two Chaplains to Con-
gress during the present session, was taken up
and agreed to.
The following resolution, submitted yesterday,
by ,t'r. DicFcrson, was then taken up:
Resolrsd, That the 30th Rule for conducting the
business of the Senate be amended, that, instead
Of Co nmittcc Of Commerce and Manufactures,

mcrce, and enc of Manufactures
Mr.. Lloyd, of Mass. was in expectation that
the honorable gentleman who had submitted the
! resolution, would give his reasons for the mea.
! sure; which had his entire concurrence. The
object Of appointing Committees, MIR. Lioyd
said was to investigate the subjects brought be
fore them. to digest them and present them in {
condensed and luminous form, that the Senate
might act on them with less labour and more
confidence. He thought it wrong TO refer two
subjects which often came in collision with eaCi
other, to the same committee. He bad the no
nor last wear, to be on the Committee of Com
merce and Manufactures, and had received eve
nv mark Of politeness and attention from the gen
tcmcn composing that CCmmIuee; vet ne COUI

rrerce, excepting those concerning Lighthouse;
DreaIiwaters, and ono or two others, lie had th
misfortune to be in a minority. IL was we
known. that the two great national objects
n Commerce and Manufactures, in legislating O
them, frequently came in collision with ear
other, and it must frequently happen, that tho.
who advocated the one would be opposed 10 n
