Congress.-The following letter from Washington is from source which en- titles 1t to full consideration. The writer possesses the best opportunity of know ing the state of things in that Capital.
 WASHINGTON CITy, Narch }.
 When we look at the length of time that Congress has been in session, and ind how little has been done to benefit the country, it is to be deplorcd that a spirit of disputation and a desire for speech making, should have taken such complete possession of the members.-- To this useless consumption of time, has every thing been sacrificed, and but for that invaluable rule of the House, sstke preOicus question: which has been brought to bear in several instances re- gently, one litfle question would. have been attenuated to the close ofthe ses- slons to the exclusion of all business, and the end would have been, 0or et prete- r1anaha. Never did a sessionopen with stronger demands for the despatch of business, ,fromitsvariety andimportance, than the present. The President in his message, gave to Congress an amount of important matter for their delibera- tions, that demanded prompt, energetic and busy legislation. The departure from this high expectation can only be reconciled by those who believe. that the less legislation we have, the better.
 Ehe debate that has ensued on Mr. Ioot's resolution in the Senate. has as- suned latitude and importance, that was not at first anticipated. The strong men of that body have confined them selves essentially to the investigation of great constitutional questions, that have been mooted since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and that are De- culiarly interesting at this time. to meet a crisis that is approaching from the con- dieting opinions and interests of differ ent parts of our common country. Mir. Webster has had conspicuous part in this debate, which from it's peculiar character, has been well suited to his logical mind. His highest efforts have been invoked, and he did much to please his political admirers. He took a posi- ton however, that brought him and his party fuiiy before his adversaries, and with so many vulnerable points present. ed, the champions on the other side. yielded an oTaipotent arm.

 DestructtDe Fire.-Our devoted city has again become the seat of dreadful conaagration. Yesterday, at about II o'clock in the forenoon, fire broke out m the back premises of a building in Custom house street, hetween Chartres and Levee streets, owned by A. Hodge. lunr. Esq. and occupied by Mir. Wm. c. Vulrk, as dwelling house and furni- tlre ware room. As soon as the fire

 the front building, which was but one story in height and roofed with shingles,

The wind blowing fresh at the time i'll the direction of the river, the whole soon fell a prey to tic devouring element. The connagration now began to assume an alarming appearance, and threatenedto spread devastation on both sides of the street. The brick building opposite, the upper rooms of which we occupy as saprinting office, was more than once in imminent danger, but by the timely arrival of the fire engines and the exertions of the assembled citizens, the building was preserved uninjured; for which we tender them our heartfelt gra- titude. Notsofortunate were our friends of the Mercantile Advertiser. who were burned out and out: they occupied the upper rooms of the double three story brick house belonging to Mrs. Mitchell, and immediately adjoining the scene of destruction. The principal part of the materials (which we are happy to learn were insured) were saved, though in a state of pi. This will cause a suspen- sion for day or two in the publication of that journal, but it wifi be resumed again at the earliest opportunity. The lower floor was occupied as a store by H. Haynes and Go. and the 2d by Dr. Gampbell-the building was burnt to the ground.---lnmediately opposite this was the porter-house of Mir. Wolff and small building with a wooden roof, oc- cupied by Mr. Burbank as a paint shop and a colored man as a grocery, which were miraculously preserved from des- truction. Such was the scarcity of wa ter, though within 100 yards of the Mis- sissippi, that Mr. Wolff off supplied the eT- zines pretty liberally with beer and ci- der. The fire extended along in the di- rection of Canal street, and burnt down a brick building in the rear of the store ofMr. Charles Byrne, on Dorsiere street, and occupied by him as a warehouse, which was well filled with western pro- dnce, great part of whichwas consumed. The fire atone period assumed so torIni- dable an appearance, when aided by the wind, that 1t was feared 1t would cross Dorsiere and sweep through to Leyee street; even apprehensions were enter tained for the safety ofthe Customhouse, and business was suspended by the Col lector to attend to the security of the papers, in the event of dangers but for tunately, and by sheer exertion on tue part ot the firemen and the popalace, the flames were arrested in their pro- gress, without committing any farther evil than above stated.-The streets were literally strewed with the wreck of broken furniture and merchandise, cast out without discretion, and by al- most causeless aIarm.--La. .AdD.

 Mr. SEWER then moved to amend the |hitil section of the bill, by Inserting the following clause.
 < But the occupant or owner of any such tract by Spanish claim as aforesaid, shaii not be required to pay for said land more than fifty cents per acre, and shall have twelve months after the passage of this act to make said entry and payment"
 This amendment was also rejected.

 upon the dark spots of Mr. Webster's political life, and they are not of a char acter to meet the light. 'The darkest deeds of Afr. AAfr. ANschster'ss s New EiaeiaIe! coniederates were explored by the same light; and better for them if the rocks and mountains had covered them, than that they should have been brought forth in all their deiormity. They now live upon the imperishable page of history. and the patriot will have to deplore that aland of liberty had so many degenerate sons in the hours of difficulty and trial.
 lfGen. fiayne had been unknown to lame previous to this debate, he has done enough, by tue part he has taken in 1t to place himself eonspieuously by the side of the greatest men of our coun- try. lie has not only distinguished himself for fervid and chaste elocution. acute perception, and great intuitive readiness, but he unites the powers of profound analysis and close logical in- duction. In that part of the reioinder to Mfr. Webster, where he investigates the constitutional questions, l think it model for close, chaste, and filicitous ar punctuation. He rises to the dignity of Madison and Hamilton, and seems to have caught his inspiration from those great primitive lights. Benton, Wood bury and Grundy, have gained new laurels in this debate, and have proved themselves worthy the dignifed station they hold in public estimation. They arc rampant around the orthodox prin- ciples of our political faith. Ithas been part of their recent labor to bring to light a portion of the politicaldecalogue, that has been buried by the revolutions of time, of men and measures. The future viii be regulated by renovated lights. We shall know our ancient landmarks and boundaries, and we have but to keep them fresh to keep thus pure.
 The delay of executive business has proceeded from the intense interest that has been produced by the debate to which have referred. The admins ttffattion ranks are unbroken and will sus- tain the President in his nominations.
 Various stratagems have been resort ed to by the opposition to induce be- lief that General Jackson would not be again candidate for the Presidency. and they tried to work upon the feelings of the friends of two distinguished gen tlemen who have been named as can didates to succeed the present incum- bent, but all has been unavailing; there IS but one feeling here, and that is that General Jackson should serve a second term. 1t is thought necessary for the full consumnation of his measures, and for the entire reorganization of the de- mocratic party of the country. Such we believe to be the prevailing opinion of the Union.

 When the New York grand ca,aal was beguns MT. Clinton, in letter to Mir. Jefferson, asked his opinion of the un- dertaking. "'Iis Q noble project,' re- piled Jefferson, but you are c century loo soon." X few years passed, aud a se- cond letter, from the same gentleman announced it's completion, with fur ther query. What do you Hsink of it nom 9a-His reply was, ee 5soso perces0e tfsat ia regard to yoatr resoswccs ard eaer- gses, committed a,s error Q orse century ifsnsy calculation. :"
 Are not those who doubt. in regard to the ta,,ae and resources of Kentucky, for the sasI road enterprise, laboring under a similar mistake?
 The fact is-that old rules do not ap- ply to our neao country. Man is a very different being here, if compared with his fellow in Europe--ss Forward'' is the motto of almost every eda.cated Ame- rican, high or low, rich or poor-for- ward, always forward. But the prece- ding was not the only subject of like na- ture on which Mir. Jefferson changed hisopinion. Ruined villages--a tatter- ed and ignorant population, are seldom met with in the United States except a. mong those who thinkit sstoo soon," to attempt great enterprises, or even the reformation of their own domestic hab- it's, so far as they may proceed to sup ply of their own wants. fin nregard to any great works the s' too soon'' applies, itis because of the overwhelming pro- gress ofscience, assisting labor and con- guering space, which bids us pause a little, to behold the wonders present. aad calculate future improvement.

 A Washington correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, observes in regard to the nomination of Commodore Porter, as Consul General at Algiers--
 !" A more popular appointment than that of the gallant Porter could not have been made. All here rejoice at the re- suit. The Commodore arrived here Oh Saturday, and in the course of Monday. visited both Houses of Congress. lie looks as well as ever, with the exception of darker hue from the burning sun of Mexico; and it was really grateful spectacle, to behold So many members stepping eagerly forward to shake hailds with him.
