IN the space OF scarce twenty hours. The For
ttcdt'on BtH passed the House early in January,
and was returned on Thursday or Friday before the
adjournment, with amendments, more than doub-

consequence fthe Senaes striking out that portion
of the bill providing for the defence of the country.
in case hostllities should be urged by France.
We give below outline of the proceedings on
this subject twill be observed that but one solitary
Senator from the ranks ofthe Administration Joined
the Opposition in voting down the provision made
necessary by the unanimous resolution of the House
on French affairs.
The senate then took up the fortifcation bill
and proceeded to the several amendments made by
the House to the amendments of the Senate.
The minor amendments having been gone through
the placing the disposal of the President, three
millions of dollars, be used under his direction in
augmenting the Army and Navy and repairing the
Notifications of the United State, so to put the
country In posture Of defence, in there should
be necessity for it, before the meeting of Con-
gress, was taken up, when.
Messrs. Webster Calhoun, Leigh, Southard,
Clay, and Preston, opposed the amendment, and
Messrs Wright, Linn, Buchanan and Cuthbert
supported II.
The question being on dsagreeing to the amend

So the Senate disagreed to the amendment,
The Senate took up the fortifcation bill, which
was returned by the House, and the amendment of
the House placing three millions at the disposal Of the
President, as stated above.

DisgrdccfM Taring and Fedthcriug Female.
A correspondent at GAINESVILLE writes us as follows
- A most disgraceiul circumstance recently oc-

persons assembled at the house of Mrs. Tyler,
(whose husband is in the state prison between and

F'dtal Economically gentlemen from the West,
we carn that sudden rcncounter took place at
Fort Smith, on the night of the 18th inst. between
Mr.. William s. Cowan, and Mr.. Washington Coffee,
in which the former was killed, and the latter sup
posed to he mortally wounded.
Mr.. Cowan shot through the body, and lived
only about two hours. His ball entered Mr.. Cof-
fees breast just above the right nipple and is sup
posed to have lodged near the left shoulder. The
latter gentleman has family residing at Fort Smith.
The former was single man, and his father, we
believe, resides i'll Washington county.
This is one of the evil consequences of the per-
nicious, and too prevalent practice of unnecessarily
carrying deadly weapons.-Ilerc two bosom
friends-their intimacy of long standing, and even
continued almost up to the fatal moment when their
hands were raised against each others lives. Some
(perhaps trihing) dispute arose between them in a
large company, which produced angry words-in-
sutng and threatening language followed-pistols
were drawn-and before the by-stauders had time
to interfere, the parties fired when one was almost
Immediately hurried into eternity, and his wretchcd
friend so severely wounded to be destined after
dragging out n few days intense agony and remorse
to follow him to an untimey grave.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM FRANCE.

By the packet ship Francis Depau, Captain Ro-
binson, from Havre, and the Victoria, from Liver
pool, we have Paris dates to the 3Oth of January.
All the documents necessary to perfect understan-
ding of the subject connected with our Treaty, have
been placed in possession of the committe which is
occupied in considering the merits of the claim and
will shortly report. We are informed from an au-
thentic source, that the report will be in favor of
paying the claim, deductng therefrom part which
shall be clearly shewn, and satisfactorily made man
ifest, are not entitled to and the mild tone of
the opposition press generally and the decided fa-
vorable sentiments of the ministerial journals look
as if no serious obstacle will be thrown in the way
of its adoption. Hyde de Neuvle has published
another angry letter against the treaty, which is re-
ceived with indifference. The new Russia claim
appears to have no friends.

involuntary homage to the man OF integrity though
at the same time he is a stranger to every ennobng
sentiment and sunk in the deepest vices which can
debase the human mind. There is IA winning charm
in virtuous examples-an irresistible impulse, which
leads men to love and to admire, though the mon
sters, vice. ayarce, and centious passion forbid the
actions to approve, by initiating them. If noble
and generous action be performed in our presence
we are filled with admiration, and are ready to
exclaim-" Would to Heaven had done as much!'

Our readers will recoect that an appropriation of
5000 was made by Congress about a year ago
for the purpose of removing the Lighthouse on
Goat Island twelve hundred feet further towards the
north than it now stands. We learn that this sum
has, by an additional appropriation passed at the
session of Congress which has Just expired been in
creased to $4,000, which is probably sufficient to
make all the improvements contempatcd-su as
removing the Lighthouse itself and building sub
stantial causeway connecting the Lighthouse with
the main land. The work will be commenced in
short time and when completed will add very much

rather decoy to entrap vessels than beacon to put
them on their guard. For the important improve
mcnt contemplated and for which an ample sum has
now been appropriated we are chiefly indebted to
the ndctatigabe exertions of onr able Representative
the Hon. DUTEI j. PrARcE, who is untiring in his
effort to be of service to his constituents and if the

Recall of Mr. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Adams,
in his last speech the French question, expresses
his disapprobation of the conditional recall of
Minister, and says: at places the country in
most awkward and unfavorable position; because by
recalling Minister, takes which, accor-
ding to the usuage of nations, may be construed by
the French Government as act of hostility, and
as emitting France to the first blow"
We do not see how this be, SINCE if the recall
of a minister be a just usual cause of war, the
Uued States entitled to the first blow, because
France first and Internationally recalled her min
ster; and not only so, but gave pretty strong
hint that his absence would be more acceptable
than his company hint which. many people think
he would have consulted his own dignity, and that

f1hE. ;;' ssic dreaming astronomer number each
 star
 That at evening peeps out from it's pillow
 of blue; But pleasanter study to me Is, by far, The orb that shines over checks rosy hue. Let the crazy astrologer search for his fates In the cusps and the nodes of his keen lu-
 minaries; He is wise, like me, who his fortune awaits, As t IS told in the glance that in woman
 eye varies Who studies as l do, the stars of the soul, And cares not a fig how all other orbs roll. have studied them many long summer eve, When the leaves and the waters were qu-
 etly singing; And the science and knowledge that such
 studies leave, Is dream of bright joy, to the memory
 clinging. It is better than wasting the eyes and the
 brain, And the season of youth that was given for
 pleasure, In gaining 6 science that's useless and vain, As a musty old mser piles round him his
 treasure. l would not give one glance from the eye that
 love, Toknow all the stars that are clustered above. There was Lydia--no star was so calm as
 her eye, So gentle and proud in it's black, misty
 lashes; And Harriet's, too, had 1t oped in the sky, Would have shamed every star in the azure
 that flashes. There was Lizzy, whose eye, meath her ivo-
 " brow, Seemed the planet Of of love, through eloua-
 foam outgazing; Twas unveiling the soul, when the pure
 azure glow Of her eyes beamed upon you, the thin lids
 upraising. There was Mary, who kept me from Comics
 and Greek, While her eyes taught love which the boy
 could not speak. There was Ann, whose bright orbs my day
 visions inspire, Like a heavenly beacon-light off in the dis
 tance; 'fis the deep, vivid black of their virtuous
 fire, To my better resolves and my hopes lend
 assistance. May always be eheered with such lights in
 my way, While an hour of my brief dream of life is
 remaining! ask not for science to help me grow gray ask not for fame while life's star shall be
 waning ask not for laurels on fields red and bloody, So have ofsuch eyes an abundance to study.

 And round the gates of Day, In a sea of glory laying,

Iris Noon! Upon his throne In mid-heaven, the God is seated,
 And all the wide unshadowed air Glows like furnace, heated
 The birds, with panting breast, Their weary wings arc dropping,
 While every flower it's stricken crest Is faintly earthward stepping.
 No cloud one ray to hide, No breath one leaf to quiver,-
 And, flashing like a silver tide, Rolls on the furnished river;
 While Der yon barren height, The undazzled eagle saileth,
 And gazes on the Lord of Light, With glance that never quaileth.
