leoMse Of Representatives..

Mondays Jan. ~
Mr.. Everett moved the consideration OF
Nr. Forsyth'S resolution for returning to
the Secretary of War certain papers, trans
United by hlm relative to charges against
certain L. = officers. and offered an a
mendment directing the Secretary 10 in
Sututuc further inquiry into the conduct
otpcrsons in the service of the general co
vcrnment, against whom charges are con-
tanned in the petition Of Perpal. The a.
mCndment was agreed to, and the rcsou-
ton passed. Some discussion arose on a
call Of Mr.. Wood for information relative
to Il treaty with the Chlckasaw and Choc-
taw Indians. Mr.. Forsyth ridiculed the
idea, Of treating these Indians as If they
were an independent people. lie said the
business used to be dispatched with n few
talks, but fashion had lately been intro
duced Of sending diplomatic notes TO the
Indian tribes when scarce an individual
could either read or wr1e. He had no j.
d~o of giving them so much consequence.
Mr. Wood defended his resolution. He
believed abuse existed, and that the In
dians had suffered under them. He de-
precatcd the plan projected by unauthor-
leed agents for their removal, and consld-
cred il would involve the L. States in an
expense Of two millions. He was glad the
practice Of conducting treaties by written
notes had been adopted. So far from the
Indians being as ignorant as was repre-
sented, he knew several individuals among
them OF intelligence, and in their commu-
nieations and arguments they had elevat-
ed themselves far above our commission
ers. The discussion was suspended by
the orders Of the day.
On motion the House went into commit
tee upon the state ofthe Union.
The bill to authorise the Secretary OF
the Treasury 10 exchange certain stock
was taken up, and discussed until the
House adjourned. mr.. Mallary attempted
10 bring up the manufacturers bill, but the
House refused 10 postpone the considera'
ton Of the above bill for that purpose.

The squadron under command of Cor.

briggs, discovered the Mexican squadron
soon after leaving tins port. LaboTde i'm
medlatel y gave chase, and soon discover
ed that Com. Porter did not wish to hazard
an engagement with him. Com. Porter
succeeded IN getting into Key West with
his squadron, where he is strictly blocks-
dcd by Laborde. The briggs Marie and
Bellona are constantly employed to trans
port provisions from Havana to Key West
to supply the Spanish squadron. The Co.
vernment are highly pleased with the con-
duct of Laborde, and are using every ef-
fort TO get ready for sea the other ships
in port, which will Join Laborde as soon as
possible.
Com. Porter had taken a sch. from Afri-
ca, which had previously landed three
hundred slaves on the coast of Cuba.
This sch. and the brig Hercules, before
