Wdshingt0n, Jan. 1.-The Con mittse nf the
House Of representatives, upon the Letter of Mr.
CnLi0an is still sitting, dils, aod. may saw all
day long. We had not expected so protrac,ed an
investigation and easily conjecture Whist may
be the course OF it. The Members OF the Com
mlttee do not communicate " hat passes in the Com.
mtee, very property preferring that the record,
when made up, shall speak fer itself Left 20 pre-
sumption, therefore, are at Liberty to suppose
that the investigation has taken wider range than
the mere inquiry whether the Vice Presidents, when
Secretary of War, had participated in the profits of
contract made in his office. Intel
The AIexsndra Gazette states, that Mr.. M'Duffc
is counsel for the Vice President, and attends reg
uiarly 10 that capacity before the Committee.

engaged in raising supplies Of cleng and provisions ior
the Greeks. They ought do something for that opPres

inhabitants Of that city against them.

are making in other places We would again remind those
in this neEhborhood who wish TO unite in the charitable
