The Sub-Treasury Bill is comm, near

which MIR. Rives's substitute was rejected
(Yeas ~, Nays 30,) shews the relative
strength ofthe two parties to that measure.

former labor under instructions, the two
latter under conviction, no doubt con-
scientious, that 10 adopt a specie CURRENCY
Tor the Goverpment, would be a hazardois
experiment for the country, though thew
are clearly in favor of separating the Gov.
ernment from the Banks. So thew will
vote against the Bill, and. on its final mas
sage, tho vote will be 26 to Is, of Of conr,c.
There is no doubt that the Wire President
will decide the question in the affirmative.
