CONGRESS-. On Wednesday, Dec. Oath,
memorial was presented in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Bates, from sundry
citizens of Hadley, in this State, against
the transportation of the mail on Sundays.
Similar memorials were presented from
various towns in New-York. Some de-
bate took place on the bill providing for
the occupation Of the Oregon river, by
granting land to certain companies OF
adventures who propose to set out from
New-Orleans, Massachusetts, and Ohio, to
commence a settlement there. The
House adjourned without taking any Or
der on the subject. This, subject was
brought forward by Mr.. Floyd, of Vir-
ginis, who has bestowed much attention
upon it. AT present our country has no
harbour in the whole range of the western
coast of this continent. The harbour al
the mouth of the Oregon is very good
one, and the advantages Of having port
there it is considered will be very great
and important to our trade in that quarter,
The bill now before Congress proposes to
establish a territorial government there
and MIR. Everett, of this State, is reported
to have said that in his part of the coun-
try there was an association of three thou.
sand individuals, respectable farmers and
industrious artisans, who were ready to
embark in the enterprise as soon as the
permission and protection of government
should be secured to them. The subject
is an interesting and important one, and
worth the serious attention of Congress,
Both Houses adjourned from Wednesday
TO Monday to enjoy the Christmas holi-
days.
In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. Burnet
a member from Ohio in place of Gen.
Harrison, and Mr.. Bridgely from Della
ware, attended. The bill in favour of Su.
san Decatur and others was read third
time and passed. The resolution offered
by MIR. Sanford for an inquiry by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury into the relative
value Of gold and silver was agreed to.
In the House of Representatives reso.
luton was offered by Mr.. Ramsey, Of
pennsylvania, proposing . distribution Of
publIck lands among the States, and a
distribution Of the publick revenue. The
House refused, by a large majority, to con.
slider it. The bill to authorize the occu.
patton Of the Oregon river was further
discussed in Committee of the Whole
MIR. Archer presented memorial from
General Scott, praying that an act may
pass, settling the question Of brevet rank

The very moderate and pleasant wea-

VIEWS OF AMERICAN SCENERY. We
were induced some time since to insert an
advertisement of publication with this
title, thinking that it would be worthy of
encouragement, and that the engravings
would be at least decent.
We have received it, and are wretched-
ly disappointed it is one of the most de-
testable things that was ever palmed upon
the publick under a specious title, and is
far from being worth the postage. We
advise all to whom it may be sent not to
be galled as we have been by taking il
from the post-ofice.

GEN. JACKSON. We have been favour
ed with sight of this parsonage as delin-
Gated on stone by Mr.. T. Edwards, of
Boston. tits fine specimen of lithogra-
ply, and is very creditable both to the
artist and to the Senefelder Press, the
establishment from whence it comes. We
are happy to see this beautiful art flourish
as it does. Mr.. Edwards has it in con-
temptation to publish heads of all the
eminent men Of America in the same
style. We heartily wish him encourage
ment that may enable him to complete
this undertaking.

Farewell tina seal is sc

Thou hast with the heartless stranger met
With the quivering lip, aud eyeIid wei,

In the holy scene that haunts me yet.
Farewell for thou art now

With The bridal chaple, round ts brow,
And tiny spirit boiler for the view.
That breaks not ever,
To which thy soul must hopeless bow.
For thee my lonely heart
With PASSIONS sorrow

And oft tue heavyer tear will start,
When on the morio w

From sleep, or AS to flowers of spring,

That hath been la'en away while blossomine,
Farewell :! keep my sight
When thou art n%eeting,
And with a feeling Of sad delight,
While darkness around me despair deep nigh
View thee retreating

When fortune smiles and looks serene.
