The II use Of Representatives acted on ma
ny OF the Senate bills on Saturday, and closed
their Legislative busine SIS, for the session, soon
after nj night.
TANKS TO THE SPE \KER.
Mi. Wrigh, OF New York, moved The fol-
lowing rcsolution:
ReSoired, That the thanks Of this House be
presented 10 the Hon. Andw. Stevenson Speak
ct for the dignity, impar'ialiity, prompt'tudc,
and ability with which he HIS discharged The
duties Of ihe Chair, curing the present session.
The Speaker now retired, and called Mr..
Moore, of Alabama, to the Chair.
Mr.. Wright, Of Ohio, said l. is not my in
tentiou, Mr.. Speaker, Ia emrer, now, into the
discussion Of the resolution. believe, Sir, the
uni ersal custom of the House has been, with
but two exceptions, not 10 introduce this kind
OF resolution until the last day OF the session
and only at the end OF a Congress. | am much
mistaken, if there are but the two instances OF
resolutions Of the kind offered, except on tn
last day of Congress. There is prnprlety
in this: for then the speaker has served The
term for which he is elected, and II is of'reG
a, period Of the session, when, by our rules,
we can no longer act in our Legislative ca2a'
city, but only on matters disconnected from
the other branches of the Legislative DrparI-
ment of the Government. II viii be admitted,
that we have yet many oils, that regard Tor
our Legislative duties require us to act 0" to,
night. This proposition may as well be acted
on on Monday, when we cannot act upon LIE
gisatiYe business. In order, therefore, to al
ford an opportunity 10 transact The business,
and leave This resolution e hanks until Mon
day, move 10 postpone the further consldera-
ton of the resolution until Monday next. And
ask that the question may be !akcn by ayes
and noes.
On the secondIng Of the previous question,
the votes not amounting 10 quorum much
confusion arose in the House, various mem.
ters rising, some insisting that quorum was
present, Others calling for second count, 9TH
ers moving call Of the House Afer some
time spen, in endeavoring 10 restore order, the
Chair appointed Messrs. Taylor and kremer
,ellers, 10 count the votes in the affirmative, *

alive 10 the Press. The y. y. Daily Advertise
gives the following synopsis Of this bill, the OBJ
ject Of which is, says the Minister "to secure
the true liberty Of the Press, and repress its IL
Centiousness"
Ehe first article OF this bill declares that any
Frenchman of legal age, and in the enjoyment
OF civil rights, shall be allowed to publish a
newspaper or periodical. The succeeding arli
cles define certain limitations under which this
privilege is to be allowed; and, instead of "ev
cry Frenchman" being included almost "every
Frenchman" is completely shut out. For
publisher is required to give security OF fifty
thousand franks, aud then 10 be liable. along
with the writer of every article that may he
considered offensive, both in body and goods.
Other Liabilities are imposed, particularly that
oil 4 suspension of the publication for one, two,
or .hree months; and. although some of tie
ficnds of :he Press have believed the bill would
confer considerable advantages, few appear
to be aware Of its dangerous provisions; saud
one paper pronounces the system as mole IN
convenient and dangerous than 'he Censorship
itself, which, oppressive as il was, WAS no: in
operation quite the whole year. We observe
that the English papers speak lavorably OF this
bill; hut Ii is TO be hoped it may not be success
