Mr.. Cambreleng had therefore three
days to dress his own wounds, and to ex-
tract the barbed sores, where they
were not sunk too deep for surgical skill.
When Mr.. Burgess sat down, he rose to
reply and although his speech was evil
IDENTIFY committed to memory, he said he
came there with no briefs al the gentle
man of Rhode-Isla had done, and that
he should take no time for digesting a
speech. His obsery ations were entirely
personal, and many of fthem vulgar abuse.
The argument of Mr.. Burgess was lost
sight of, and the object of the Speaker
seemed to be, to convince the House tn at
he belonged to the republican party, and
that Mr.. Burgess, and those who acted
with him, were federalists 1t would
have been well, if he had occasionally
embellished his speech with some ex-
tracts from Mr.. Randolph's speeches,
preceding and during the war, in which
he said that no gentleman of character
would accept commission i'll the army,
and that the country was sold to France,
An attempt was made again to day to
sustain the previous question. This was
neg gatived, which removed the main
question from before the House. The
mover, being frustrated in his object, and
perceiving there was wish to continue
the debate during the day, and to sit out
the question, was willing to withdraw
his motion, if the vote on the previous
question could be reconsdered. This
was done, and the debate was resumed.
Mr.. Alexander, of Va. poured out tor
rent of abuse on Mr.. Burgess, who he
knew to be detained from the House by
sickness.-Mr Pearce replied to him.
mr.. Carson read several extracts from
mr.. Webster's speech on the appropria-
ton bill for the Panama mission, and
pronounced the argument sound and ir-
resistible, and abounding in good COM
mon sense. He was much choaked by
an inquiry, made of him by mr.. Vintor
in an under tone, whether he voted fol
tn Panama bill After a while, he wa,
compelled to say he did not. He was
followed by mr. Stanberry in speech
of about half an hour, of inimitable force
and severity. The Secretary of State
and his mouthpiece, mr. Cambreleng
both received severe castig alton

DEATH OF SIMON BOLIVAR. The SCH
Brilliant, capt. Eddy, which arrived here
on Thursday last from Carthagena, brings
information Of the decease of Gen. Boil
VAR, who died near Santa Martha on the
18th Dec. Capt. E. informs that minute
guns were fired for three days at Cartha-
gena, and that all the vessels in port wore
their colors at halfmast as testimony of
respect for the lamcnted death of their
friend and Liberator. Bolivar in his last
moments, admonished his countrymen to
preserve their liberties by union, and
strict obedience to the laws. Capt. +.
also states, on the authority of the on dts
of the day, that Bolivar previous to his
death, set at liberty 80 orhis slaves, and
gave $25o,ooo to the state. His death
was deeply deplored throughout that
quarter of the country.

COLLECTOR OF NEw-LoNDoN.-In-
goldsby w. Crawford, of Union, Tol-
land County, is appointed Collector of
this port, in place of Richard Law, re-
formed; the previous nomination of Mr..
Mussey having been rejected by a close
vote. MIR. Law and Mr. Mussey, be-
ing both out of the question, Mr.. Craw-
ford, as far as We know, will be unex-
ceptionable.
This removal was entirely on party
grounds; Capt. Law is republican Of
the old school; and through every politi-
cal strife has maintained his first princi-
pies; but while in office, he confined
himself entirely to its duties, which nev-
or have been or can be more faithfully
or acceptably performed. lie was emf
ncntly calculated for the office; to facili-
ty and accuracy he added peculiar ur-
banity-calling no hours has oun, he was
ready at all reasonable times for the dis
patch of business. We believe all the
shipping merchants and masters of vessels
in the district, regret his removal and
deprecate that intolcrant and selfish par
ty spirit, which has sacrificed, in his de-
clining years, mcritorious revolution

life as distinguished for his good quail
ties as servant Of the public.

Law for many years sailed out Of this

him highly. Had our President known

The Washington correspondent OF the
n. Y. Daily Advertiser says-the Sen
ate have rejected the nomination of MIR.

The same correspondent adds:-"Mr.

ton bill, by striking out the appropria-
ton for the mission to Russia. The gal
Tlery land the privileged seats were crowd
ed long before the morning business was
disposed of. He sustained himself with
great ability, and drove the friends ofthe
Secretary of State to the wall. Mr.
Cambrcleng cndeavored to detract from
the force Of his observations, by abiding
to the time that had elapsed since the
speeches were made to which MIR. Bur-
ges replied. Mr.. Cambreleng was in
this particular disingenuous, because
he knew that MIR. Burgess had attempted
in several instances to obtain the floor,
and was refused it, under the rule which
restrains member from addressing the
House more than once, until all the 9TH
er members have spoken who wish to
speak. And he knew also, that it was
the intention Of the particular friends of
the President, and of Mr.. Van Buren,
to prevent MIR. Burgess from speaking at
all, by calling the previous question.
MIR. Burgess concluded his remarks in re-
ply to those who preceded him, when the
House adjourned on Thursday. His
observations on Monday were confined
principally to the incompctency of Mr..
Randolph to discharge the duties of the
mission; to the unconstitutionality of the
appointment, with the condition attached
to it, that he might reside in any other
country he chose; to the hostility Of Mr..
Randolph to the appointment Of the cab
met; to his hostility to the administration
Of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; and
to the motive which influenced Mr.. Van
Buren, in sending Mr.. Randolph abroad.
