Mahometan faith are obliged to take arms those who
refuse are to be deemed infdels. Turks attri

From the National Intelligencer.

The vote in the House Of Representatives,
refusing T. limit The appropriation Tor Surveys
for Internal Improvements 10 the completion OF
such as have been already begun, as proposed
by the Senate, is ofgrea interest, as isciosing
the fixed opinion at the House of Representa-
ti,es upon that subject TO the Same effect
is the vote by which the House refused to a
mend the title Of the bill, as proposed by the
Senate Not tha, we think that contrary de-
cisions by the House Of Representatives would
have augurrd any thing fatal, or seriously
adverse, 10 The general progress OF Internal
improvements: because u vote {" concur with
The Senale's amendments would have been on,
II sacrifice of form for Substance, To secure
the passage of an important bill, AT future
session, there can be no doubt, public sent
m Mt would have caused such decision, made
with such an understanding, TO be reversed.
Viewing the subject in this light, some Of the
strongest friend, Of Thermal Improvements
| voted in favor of cOnCurri"g in both these a.
menlmenrs: AID under the circumstances, the
majority Of the Peoples r. representatives., by
which they we're neg ariveC, may b" considered
Il very s'rnng, imposing, and impor am one.
We shall see what diSp 81 ion the honorable
Senate will now manIf, ST upon the SUBJECT OF
these amtn!mcnts Nat. Int.
The House Of Representatives, yesterday
passed a resolution 10 instruct its Military
Commi;ree 10 bring in bill to abolish The Office
| If lH0j0r General Of The .3rn'y Of the T..
States, now vacant by the death OF General
! Brown. This vote, We presume, Is founded
upon the belief thai lhe Office, in reference TO
our present Military Establishment, is super
fluous. 1t is generally understood, however,
that, after the rejection of similar proposition
| ~ the Sena;e, the President nominated Brcve,
| Major General ALIEN. MAcoMB 10 fill the va
caucy; thar ih!s nomination is still before the
Sen2tt; and that so ne nf the friends Of other
ansidalcs Tor the oEice have been dispirased at
! this $, lection. II is proba lie, then that this
| fee ing of dis,a' isiaCtion at the nominalion,
or ra,her of sympathy for esteemed friends,
whom diff rent members desired to STE prefer
! red, had IN influence upon the Vole o: ycster-
day to such degree as to peponde'ate The
! scale in favor Of the motion. II this vote have
no other result, 1t will probably prevent tn
Srna,e's acting upon the nomination until the
question raised IN tie other House shall have
been finally de ermined there. I'D.
