We most sincerely regret the failure of
the judiciary BIZ. Although the original
'bill passed the House by very large vote,
1t was impossible, it seems, to prevail on a
majority Of that body to agree to the Sc
Mates amendment. We learn that many
mcmber' voted against the indefinite post
pcnemcnt, who yet would not have agreed
10 the bill in lis existing shape. If the
motion had been taken on agreeing TO the
proposed umeudment, the majority, in the
negative, would doubtless have been much
larger than that by which the bill was in
definitely postponed. Jour

The editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser,
seems TO doubt the authenticity of the intelli-
gence recently received from Europe, relative
10 the capture Of Missolonghi He says,
awe have not time, nor room to reca-
pitulate all the intelligence on this point,
but we incline to the opinion that at the
date of our last advices from London and
Paris, no intelligence had been received at
either place from Greece, later than March
22d, from Zante, and the Goth from Mis-
solonghl :; and at that date this town was in
possession of the Greeks, and the various
rumors ofits capture were founded on tho
actual capture ofa post on The little island
OF Vassiladi, III the harbor of Missolonghi,
after violent assault and a manly resis-
tlnce; and the subsequent capitulation Of
the garrison of Anatolico in the nelghbor-

From the Baltimore Gazette, July 26.

1t was stated about two weeks ago, in New.
York paper, that Charles Carroll Of Carroll.
ton did not sign the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence on the fourth of July, 1875, the day on
which it is supposed TO have been signed by
the other members of Congress, nor until more
than twenty days afterwards; the reason given
for this delay is, that Mr.. Carroll was absent
on mission to the Catholics Of Lower Cana
da, to endeavor to induce them to Join the thir-
teen United Colonies. The Worcester Egis
states these circumstances with some addition
al ones, in an article which We copy to-day, and,
as every fact relating TO that important transac-
ton is interesting to the people Of the United
States, we add some extracts from the Jour
mails of Congress, which prove that the state
Rient as to Mr. Carroll is incorrect.
A friend has obligingly handed us the second
volume of the Journals Of Congress, contain
ing the proceedings from January LIST, l776, to
January lst, l777, published in 1878. On ex-
aiming these proceedings, we find, that on the
5th February, DR.. Benjamin Frrnklin, Mr.. S.
Chase, and Mr.. c. Carroll Of CarrolIton were
appointed ga Committee to repair1o Canada,
there 10 pursue such instructions as shall be
given them by Congress" II was also "resolv-
ed, that Mr.. Carroll be requested to prevail on
Mr. John Carroll to accompany the Commit
tee 10 Canada, to assist them in such matters as
they shall think useful" A commission vas
accordingly issued 10 them, with instructions,
both of which are in full on the Journal.
Among the proceedings Of the ELEVENTH OF
JUNE, We find the following entry or the Jour
nals
"Nlr Chase, and Mr.. Carroll Of Carroilton,
two Of the Commissioners, being arrived from
Canada, attended and gave an account Of their
proceedings, and the state Of the army in that
country"
Although Dr.. Franklin's name is not men.
toned in the above extract, yet it appears from
another entry on the proceedings Of the Al
June, that he, as well as the other Commission /
ers, had signed draught in Canada, which wa
ordered by Congress to be paid !
1t is therefore evident from the Journal 4
Congress, that tine reason given for the sui
posed delay of Mr.. Carroll in signing the Df
laration of Independence is not founded on
as Mr.. Carroll had returned from Canada m
than twenty days before the 4th Of July, l77eg
On the first Of July the resolution from le
convention Of Maryland, passed by that Hy
on the 2sth Of June, resembling former 20

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

| a
Worcester, July l9.--It has frequently been
stated in the public prints, that The late 'ener-
able President Adams expired at the same hour
of the day, on which, half a century before, ne
had affixed his name 10 the great charter OF
Freedom. In relation to this fact, it should
seem, that amislake had prevailed, and that the
Declaration was no, in reality signed by any OF
the members Of the Constinental Congress, on
the 4th of July, l776. From the Journal OF that
wear it appears, that, on the 9TH OF June, "cer-
tain resolutions respecting independently being
moved. the consideration was referred to the
succeeding day. On the 9Th, the resolutions
were taken up and debated in committee OF the
whole, to whom the subject was referred. Mr..
Harrison, the chairman, reported, when the
President resumed his place, that the Commit
tee had not come to any resolution on the sub
iect. and asked leave to sit again. Agreeably
to the order passed, on Monday the 10th. Con-
press again resolved itself into committee OF
the whole, to take into further consideration the
matters referred to thern, and alter some time
snent in deliberation, the President resumed the
chair, and Mr. Harrison reported resolution
which was read and passed. 1t was in these
words:
Resolved. That the consideration Of the first
resolution be postponed to Monday the frs: of
July next, and in the mean while, that no
time be lost, in case the Congress agree thereto,
that a committee be ppcinted to prepare dec
aratior to the efIectof the said first resolution,
which is in these words, that these United
States are, and Of right ought 10 be, free and
independent States: that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown, that
all political connection between them and the
state of Great Britain is and ought TO be, total
ly dissolved"
On the II Ill, of June, the committee OF five
for preparing the declaration, was chosen.-lt
consisted of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and R. r.
Livingston.
On the lst of July, the well known dec
laration, with the accompanying resolution
of Independence, was reported, and the con-
sideration of the subject taken up in COM
mittee of the whole. The vote on lis acceP-
lance, was taken by states, as was the man
ner of proceeding, under the consideration
The vote of Pennsylvania was in the negative
