tive view of the advantages and disadvantages
of the two systems, in point of economy, for
the purposes of national defence, and of pro-
tecting and facilitating our commercial opera
tons in peace and in war.
The engrossed bill, entitled Gan Act further
to amend the Judicial system of the United
States" was read the third time and passed
without division.
The orders of the day being announced, Mr..
McLane, of Delaware, moved that all which
came before the Appropriation Bill be suspend
ed, and that the House resolve itselfinto com
mittce of the whole to take that I'll into con-
sideration. The motion was agreed to, and
MIR. Condict, of New-Jersey, was called to the
Chair, when the Bill, being read, was debated
till four o'clock. The Committee then rose and
reported progress; and the House, having grant
ed leave for the Committee TO sit again, adj
journed.
1t is said, that Treaty is, or is about to be
concluded, with the Greek Indians, satisfactory
in so far as it will prevent total breach of
friendly intercourse with them. They agree to
confirm the Treaty Of February last, by yield
ing possession of all the land coded by it, ex-
cept strip beyond the Chatahoochie, COM
prising perhaps one-eighth of the whole ces-
sion. This arrangement, 1t will occur TO the
reader, must take the form of Treaty, which
will, of necessity, have to pass under review of
the Senate. In that body, therefore, the sub
.ar ,yin he <od and ricin
will depend the question between accepting The
new, or holding to the old Treaty (of February
last.)
Surprising the new Treaty to be ratified by
the Senate, it has been suggested! that, yielding
so much, it would be satisfactory to GEORGIA.
This, we apprehend, is mistake. What may
be the particular opinions of her Representa-
tives in. Congress, we cannot undertake to say
but we do know, that the Legislature Of the
State has emphatically decla'ed that it stands
by the Treaty, the mhole Treaty, and nothing
but the Treaty. So decisively has its determi-
nation been pronounced, we do not think any
change in 1t probable, whatever may be the re-
volution of parties in the State, both parties
agreeing entirely upon this point.
AS we look at the matter, we consider the
object Of Georgia as essentially gained, by &C
curing possession ofseven-eights Of the land
in controversy There remains, as subject of
dispute one-eighth Of the land, upon which
writ Of ejectment Ger whatever other name the
process may so by may be tried, to determine
the validity, OF the title which Georgia claims,
under the Treaty Of February last, to have ac
quiIed to the whole land which that Treaty
processes to cede. The Courts Of the United
States will hear and determine this question,
fairly and impariialty; and Georgia has never
for moment, we are persuaded, looked to any
other decision oft than such as could be arr.
we'd at by the forms of law. Whatever the de-
cision may be, it will be readily acquiesced in.
This view of the question, Of course, takes it
for granted that new Treaty has been, or will
be made, as reported, and supposes its ratifca-
lion by the Senate Ant InfeEpencer

The subject Of the Panama Mission has, it
will be seen, been introduced into the House Of
Representatives, by Mr.. Miner, of Pennsylva-
MIA. We have no indications, by which to
Judge of the feelings of either House of Con-
gress on the subject, further than that there is
division of opinion in relation to it. How it
happens, we know not, but so it is that there
appears to be great indifference to the subject
in the public mind We shall probably find il
more excited, when the measure comes to be
openly discussed ID.

We stop the press TO say that a man calling
his name Peabody, has just been arrested, and
examined before Justice Hunt, and there was
found on him 100 dollars in counterfeit bills
of the Utica, and Phoenix, N York, and Phe
nix, Hartford bank. He was going from Can
ada to Washington-came in one horse wag-
pon, with young genteel woman and infant
child-exchanged his Wagon for a carriage,
and put off considerable of his money in pay
ing the difference, as well as at other places.
He is bound over for trial at the Supreme Court

on the subjecC might serve to warm the cloths
after they had been sprinkled from the pail IN
the youths left hand; on the top OF the cape Is
an owl, perhaps an emblem Of Minerva. lhe
lower space repres ents preparations tor the
same purpose. In four divisions, rounded above,
which may probably be inches, are four circu-
lar pretty deep tubs, the two outer ones small
err than in the middle; two children stand in
them, the one on the left hand taking up a cloth;
the boy on the right, who is not wholly visible,
may be supposed to be doing the same. They
are occupied in .treading the cloth with their
feet, and for this reason, the youth in the Sc
cond tub, which is more likely still full, and
who, like the others, wears short dress, stands
pretty high in it, so that his Two arms can rest
on the top of the two pillars. The figure who
stands pretty deep in the third tub is that OF a
short, bald slave; who also takes hold of piece
ofcloth with both hands.
The courtyard Of the other building which
lies to the north oflhe Forum, beyond the tenn
pie Of Fortune, is adorned all round with re-
markably beautiful single figures These paint
ings represent on the cross wall TO the right OF
the entrance, Bacchus on throne, with Thyr-
sus, which terminates in tuft instead OF the
pie cone, and with the cantharus, and near 1t the
tympanum and panther 10 the left Ceres on
throne, with torch and kalanthus. The
side walls show two youths with arms, one try
ing spear, and two winged youths with wo-
men on their backs; one Of whom holds cor
nucopia, and the other Tyre.
The Neapolitan government has lately paid
laudable attention to the excavations at Pom
peii. The active and intelligent architect, Nj
cood' Appuzzo, is appointed director, and a
house in Pompeii itself is to be ilted up for
him. 1t is pity that it has been resolved 10
leave the Incompatible paintings which w
have described in their present situation. We
fear that the pleasure of seeing them there will
be purchased with their destruction.
1t will be fortunate if The varnsh discovered
by Signor G. Celestine shall be found capable
of preserving these valuable relics OF antiquity
from the deterioratlng effects of the atmos-
phere.

ICELAND HOSPITALITY.

DIR. Hooker in his "rour to Iceland" thus
describes dinner given him and his COM
panions, by the Governor.
"We had scarcely reached the extremity
of our walk, when a servant came to an
nounce that dinner was on the table conse-
quently we were obliged to return, though
rather against our inclinations for the ear
iness Of the hour, it not being more than
half past one, and our having already taken
some refreshment, kept us from being
hungry. We found the table set out in a
large and lofty room kind of parlour. 1t
had a tolerablv good borded floor, and walls
that once were white-washed.-W When we
sat down to table, little interruption was
caused by the breaking down of the chair
upon which his excellecy had seated himself:
but this was soon settled; as there Fortunately
was still vacant one in the room to replace
it. The arranging of dinner table is at
tended, in Iceland, with little trouble, and
would afford no scope for the abilities Of an
English house-keeper.
| On the cloth was nothing but plate, a
knife and fork, wine glass, and a bottle of
claret, for each guest, except that i'll the
middle stood large and handsome glass cas-
tor of sugar, with magnificent silver top
The natives are not in the habit of drinking
malt liquor or water, nor is it customary to
cat salt with their meals. The dishes are
brought in singly our first was large tur-
rene of soup, which is favorite addition to
the dinners of the richer people, and is made
of sago, claret and rasins boiled up so as to
become almost mucilage. We were help
ed to two soup plates full of this which we
ate without knowing if any thing more was
to come. No sooner, however, was the
soup removed, than two large salmon, boiled
and cut in slices, were brought on and with
them melted butter, looking like oil, mixed
with vinegar and pepper; this likewise, was
very good, and we with some difficulty
cleared our plates, earnestly hoping we hat
finished our dinners. Not so, for there wa.
then introduced a turrene full OF the eggs O
Cree or great Tern, boiled hard, of which
> dozen were put upon each of our plates ant
for sauce, we had large basin of cream
mixed with sugar in which were four spoons

mex actos,) called by the Danes scurvy-
grass, boiled mashed and sweetened with
sugar. 1t was to no purpose we assured our
host that we had already eaten more than
would do us good i; he filled our plates with
mutton and sauce. and made us get through
it as we'll as VIZ could although any one OF
the dishes of which we had before partaken
was sufficient for the dinner of moderate
man. However even this was not all tor
large dish Of waffles. as they are called,
that is to say pancake, made OF wheat
-four, and roasted in mould, which forms
number of squares on the 3op, succeeded the
mutton. They were not more than halt an
inch thick and about the size OF an octave
book. The Stifsamptman said he would be
satisfied if each of us would eat two OF them,
and with these moderate terms, we were
forced to comply. For bread, Norway bis
cult and loaves made of rye were served up;
for our drink we had nothing but claret, OF
which we were all compelled to empty the
bottle that stood by u.s. and that, too, out OF
tumblers, rather than wine glasses. 1t is not
the custom in this country to sit after dinner
over the wine but we had instead OF 1t, to
drink just as much coffee as our host thought
proper to give us. The coffee was certainly
extremely good and we trusted it would
terminate the feast but all was not yet
over, for huge bowl of rum-punch was
brought, and handed round in large glasses
pretty freely, and to every glass toast was
given. If at any time we flaggeed in drink
ing; Baron Banks was the signal to empty
our glasses, in order that we might have
them filled with bumpers to drink to his
health; task that no Englishman ought to
hesitate about complying with most gladly,
though assuredly, if any exception might be
made to such rule, it would be an instance
like the present We were threatened with
still another bowl, after we should have
drained this /; and accordingly, another actu-
ally came, which we were with difficulty al
lowed to refuse to empty entirely; nor could
this be done but by ordering our people to
get the boat for our departure, when having
concluded this extraordinary feast by three
cups of tea each, we took our leave, and
reached Keikevig about ten o'clock-but did
not for some time recover from the effects of
this most involuntary intemperance.
