Committee as may be appointed on the
part Of the House Of representatives, to

President Of toe United States, and Of
notifying the persons elected of their
election.
The Senate, at an early hour, again
went int the consideration Of Executive
business, and continued with closed
doors during the whole remainder of its
sitting This closed dosr business begins
to excite some interest in the public
mind, which is net little increased by
the reports that are abroad concerning
it. In good time, we suppose, the veil
will be removed, and public curiosity
be gratihed. ==s

WILD piGEoNs --innumerable multi
tudes of Pigeons have been for many
days passing s. repassing over this town.
One flock which passed over, literally
obscured the atmosphere. and could be
observed in every direction as far 8. the
eye could reach. and making a noise
| like strsng rush Of wiRd. No calcu.
lation can possibly be made Of its ex
tent. with eny degree of accuracy; but
we should imagine, from the time occu-
pied 10 their passage, that the fnyesaos
ones might have flown thirty miles by
| the time the latter part of the flock pass,
| ed over! We have no doubt but that, il
the Pigeons in the one fork above no
| iced could be enumerated, they would
| at least amount Ia as many in numbers
90 the dollars lost by the Adams man in
baltimore in the great bot. The wea-
