SENATE.-Mr. Hendricks presented the me.
mortal of the General Assembly of the State of
Indiana, on the subject of hospitals within that
State for the relief of sick and disabled persons,

The Senate adjourned to Monday.
I|OUSE-Mr. Wardwell moved to suspend the
rule, in order to enable him TO offer resolution
prohibiting, in future the use OF the Hall of Rep
reseutatives on the Sabbath as place of public
worship; but the motion was rejected. And very
properly, we think.

MARYLAND It was ReSOlped, That a Select Com
mittee be appointed TO inquire into the condition
Of the Currency of the District of Columbia to in
spect the books and TO examine into the proceed
mos ofsaid Banks TO ascertain whether their char
ttrs have been violated or not and whether any
abuses or mal-praciices have existed in their man
agemont--to send for persons and papers, and to

Committee, for it would be seen that this was not
in the shape of an inquiry, but poremptory in
structon, touching an interest OF the first magnl-
tude, and measure of very important character,
which was adopted few years since. lie hoped
the Senate would not be called on TO vote an in
structlon OF this importance before they had time
10 examine lis character. He had only risen 10
express the hope that the Senator from South Ca
rona would not press his resolution at tins moment
Mr.. Calhoun replied that there could be no diff
fculty on the subject. The Committee on Manu-.
iactures would have TO c&aulne and ascertain
Y hat duties might he reduced or repealed. The
Secretary of the Treasury had recommended some,
and given list OF others, and 1t was Tor the Com.
mlttee to investigate the subject. lie would not
wish 10 touch d single article that could iuure the
manufacturer.
Mr.. Davis suggested that he might probably
concur in all the views of the Senator from South
Carolina if he had time TO look into the report but,
al present, he would only ask that the resolution
be permitted 10 lie on the table until tomorrow.
Mr. Calhoun assented to the request, and the re.
solution was laid on the table.
On motion OF Mr. Davis, the s. nate proceeded
10 the consideration of Executive business after
which, the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.-Mr. Cambreleng, from the Commit.
tee OF Ways and Means, reported the following
bills, which were severally read twice, and COM
mitted 10 the Committee OF the Whole ON the state
Of the Union:
A bill making appropriations in part for the sup

TEXAS.
From the New OrIean. True American,
Aprl l3.


April l3.
We received yesterday further ac-
counts from Texas, but nothing upon
which we can rely with certainty.
ii appears to us that the People of this
country, either desionedly or by &C
cident, are kept very much in doubt
as TO the movements of the hostile
armies oil that country. Scarcely an
account arrives that is not modified
Or contradicted by subsequent arri-
val.
One thing IS most posltive-the
Texans are now placed IL a most
critical, nay, desperate situation.
They have changed the first aspect
of the war from People conteading
for their constitutional rights, which
might lave been secured TO them, to
a war for absolute independence. To
say the least of such step. it was
impolitIc, and quite premature. Their
population is too sparse to contend a.
gainst Mexico: they lack men. money
and resources. even with all the and
they have or may obtain from indl-
vlduals or communities in this coun-
try, to hope for final success. or even
to contend for any considerable length
Of time. Their only salvation now
depends upon the interference OF our
Government and the question IS, will
it, ought II 10 Interferel We, for one
think it should. But we fear tiat II
viii not; for the immediate interests
of the country are opposed 70 such a
step:mo-e particularly al the present
time when there is evidently a want
of unanirnity among the Texans
themselves. and every one, at least
every leading man. appears TO be ac-
ting upon his responsibility.
