The House, to day, is in Committee of the Whole
on the Bill making appropriations for the support
of the Army.
Mr. Adams has just concluded a speech in which
ne mas given MIR Tyler passing notice, that at.

compared him to Napoleon, and we have been told
also he IS the chosen instrument of GuD, to carry
out the doctrines Of Democracy and while speaking
Of snip money, we are forced to recur TO Hume's

"their security and happiness, and who was vested
with ample discretionary pOVers for that sautary
