CONGRESS.

The National Integcncer Of Tuesday, gives the
following synopsis Of the transactions Of Congress on
Monday. II elsewhere states, that whether Judge
Peck would be tried at this or the next session of
Congress-, would probably depend on himsolf--as, if
he required G;ne to bring evidence from Missouri, it
,yould of course, be allowed him.
From The National hicHgenccy Of .Nag I.
In the Senate, yesterday, due order was taken for
,onstifufifr that body Court Of impeachment with
a view 10 receiving the charges against Judge Peck,
which the House Of Representatives. has given no.
tice Of rs intention to exhibit. Some time was spent
upon Mr. Bcntons Land Graduation Bill, winch was
afterwards laid on the table, on his motion. Inc bll
prescribing the mode oC commencing, prosecuting
and deciding controversies between Statos, was then
again taken up, and Mr. Robbins having concluded
his argument ~ favor of II, tho Senate adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives, after petitions
and reports had been presented the Tennessee Land
Bill was discussed, and finally rejected. by majority
Of 81 votes. The House then went into COMMITTEE
or the Whole, and, afcr an unsuccessful motion by
Mr. Bell to- take up tho Indian Bill (Which was neg
aiived by a majority of 81 yotcs) the committee
eumed the consideration OF tho bill 10 alter The tar
iF laws. Mr. Blair Of S. G.. spoke III support Of
Mr.. McDufic's amendment; and Mr.. Davis, OF >. G..
having obtained the floor, the Committee rose.
