! The bill went back to the House. The
House insisted on its amendment, and again
returned the bill to the Senate. The Senate
voted to adhere to its disagreement; and here
are the yeas and nays on that vote:

Clayton, Ewing,-Frelinghuyse Godsbor-
ough, Hendricks, Kent, Knight, Leigh, Man

bama, King of Georgia, Linn, Mexican, Rug
giles, Robinson, shep!ey, Tallmadge-Tip-
ton, Wright-l7.
The House, upon this, asked conference
with the Senate, which was Immediately a.
greed to, and Committees were appointed on
both sides. The two Committees met with
out delay, and agreed, as we understood, ve-
ry soon to report to their respective Houses,
that the amendment of the House should be
struck out, or given up, and the following ap-
preparation inserted in its place:
GAS an additional appropriation for armng
the fortifcations of the United States, three
hundred thousand dollars.
"As an additional appropriation for the re-
pairs and equipment Of the ships Of war OF
the United States, five hundred thousand dol
lars"
II The Senate's Committee imme diatey re-
ported to the Senate this happy agreement
of the two Committees on this important bill,
and all seemed well. But the bill was IN the
hands of the House, (according to the usual
Ilcn in th tod
to hear its decision. No communication
coming from the House, however, and it be-
ing already past i o'clock, the Senate fear
ing for the fate of this bill, and desirous of
pressing its great Importance upon the at
tention Of the House, sent them the follow
ing message:
"Resolped, That message be sent to the
Honorable the House of Representatives, re-
spectfully to remind the House Of the report
of the Committee of Conference, appointed
on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses
on the amendment of the House to the a
mendment of the Senate, to the bill respect
ing the Notifications Of the United States"
i When this message was read in the House
we learn, for we were not presently that the
| Chairman of the Committee Of Conference
| (Mr. Cambreleng) said he had not taken,-or
should not take, the responsibility of present
ing the Report of the two Committees, on
account of the lateness of the hour,-or the
thinness of the House-or for both reasons-
adding, also, that he was himself against the
Report. Therefore, Mr.. Lewis, the next nam.
ed on the Committee, made report Of the
concurrence Of the two Committees. The
subject was thus again before the House;-
and, as to what then ensued, for the next
hour or two, as we did not see it, we will not
venture to describe it from hearsay. We
learn, however, that the Senate, having wait
ed still good while longer, in hopes ofbear-
ing from the House, and not hearing, sent
still another message, informing the House.
that they, the Senate, had 10 further business
before them. No answer coming to this
message, the Senate, after waiting a consid-
cradle time longer, and hearing nothing from
the bill, finally adjourned-and the bill there
fore is UTTERLY LOST.
| We have time for no more-nor spirits fol
any more-at present, though it will be our
duty to state, hereafter, other things which
we have heard and believe, respecting the
causes Of the loss Of these essential meas.

4 The attendance Of Senators was remarka.
Bile, the whole evening, as it had been the
day and night previous. A little before j.
O'Clock, the last night, forty-six Senators an.
swered to their names, and the remaining two
were in their seats the minute afterwards, Sc
that every Senator was at his post to the last
moment. Such thing has probably never
occurred before.
