An excess of courtesy begins to prevail in
the peoples house, at Washington! In former
times, committees of that house were directed
to do so and so; and the secretaries, or other
heads of departments, required, and the presi-
dent requested. There was meaning in the
terms used The house has the right to direct its
own committees, and to require of tine secreta-
ries, &c, any information which it desires
to possess-but to the president, Ga separate
branch of the government may prefer only a
request. Now the practice is gathering force to
request the secretaries, &c. that they may be
pleased to do this and that. This goes beyond
the practice that prevails in theBritish parlia-
ment--NiieS Register.

He accompanied her down stairs, but was con-
founded when he saw her attendants and equi-
page, and heard the name. Recovering, how

and was preparing to retire when she called out,
"where is the supper you promised?" He bow

MOUTH OF ARKANSAS.

YFSHE subscribers respectfully inform the E public, that they still continue the sto- rage and Forwarding business at the Mourn OF ARKANSAS RIVER. They have comple- ted their large and commodious warehouses, and are now ready to receive and forward all goods, produce, S1c that may be consigned to them for reshipment. All business entrusted to them will be punctnally. aud what is of more importance, speedily attended to. They have no interest in any steamboat whatever, and rely only on the faithful discharge of'their business for patronage and favor.
 Persons ascending the Arkansas, will find the passage through the mouth of Arkansas equally as good at all times, and better at some, than through the cut oft-eas boats oi- ten pass down the former, when the depth of water does not admit a passage through the latter.
 They will also transact COMMISSION BusI- NESS of every kind which may be entrusted to them-buying up-eountry produce on the river, S1c.
 *4*If unremitting care and attention will merit it, they trust to receive share of pub lie patronage.
