The unanimous rejection of the nomination of Hen
ry Lee 10 Algiers, has led to the expectation and
even belief, that some of the other nominations which
have been sent in to the Senate, will share the
fate. There has been discussion with closed
DOORS during the present week. and has that
this discussion has had reference some of those no.
limitations which considered the most exception
able But the results yet postponed: and another
week may probably elapse before our suspense on the
subject Will be relieved The Senate did not sit to-
day.
The public appetite for Mr.. Webstcr's speeches
seems daily to increase, instead of suffering abate-
ment from the lapse of time. The demand of the
pamphlet editions must calculation at Defiance as
to the number which may yet be required to satisfy
the wants OF the people every where. ] have Just
seen letter from intelligent gentleman recent
member of Congress, who that the eject which
has been produced by these speeches in the interior
New York. surpasses any thing within his know
ledge: and that this single effort of Mr.. Webster has
accomplished more than men OF great talents have
usually been able to achieve in whole life. He
states that all eyes directed to Mr.. Webster
We find ourselves in the House of Representatives
in all the misery of Tariff discussion, in spite of
the resolute manner IN which the House evmced their
sentiments, when the bill from the Committee of
Ways and Means was reported l cannot divine to
what extent the debate Mr. Andcrson's resolution
will be permitted to proceed: but should it continue
another week, we shall have ample display of
the power of elimination and recrimination, and as
disagreeable scene of confusion discord, Ill feeling
and vltuperatIve elcquence we have witnessed for
the humiliation of the hopes of the indivi-
duals who here with their claims, waiting for the
tardv justice of Congress. Mr.. Speight of North
Carolina, and Mr.. Campbell of South Carolina. ad-
dressed the House to-day, not much the subject
of the resolution before it, as the wckedness ofthe
Tariff System: and both these gentlemen to Judge
from their language are ready, while they repudiae
the name of dIsunlonsts to advise end join in such
of hostility to the General Government as must
eventuate in disunion. Mr.. Speght declared HIM
self disposed to 90 the length of declaring the Tariff
unconstitutional, of opening the ports of the South
without the authority of Congress. and appointing
collectors without reference to the National EXecu-
tive and Mr.. Barnwel expressed sentiments which
were in unison with those of Mr.. Speght. Several
members started for the floor when Mr. Barnwell
concluded but the allotted hour had passed away, and
the combatants have eight and forty hours ar
mistice allowed them.
The rejection yesterday of the bill for the relief of
Susan Decatur must have the effect of destroying any
hopes she may have entertained Infringing Congress
to her terms. 1t is known that bill might have been
passed. making moderate compensation for the SER
vices OF Com Decatur, giving to his widow perhaps,
about $50 O00-but this she has obstiDatey refused to
accept being determined to have all which she desires

with the Executive recommendation to back her ap
