HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WESTERN WATERS.

The business before the Committee was
the proposition 10 refer so much of the Pres
idents Message as relates TO the improve
ment of the navigation ofthe Western Rivers,
to the Committee on Commerce, and the
amendment to refer it to Select Commit
tee.
Mr. McCauslen then addressed the Com
miitee in favor of referring the subject be-
fore the committee to select committee of
nine members. He expressed his regret that
party feeling should have been introduced
into this discussion He spoke about the
importance of the great interests involved in
this question, and he wished TO have them
kept free from all connection with party pol
tics. He gave his views generally upon
the subject, conluding by expressing his be-
lief, that the House would yet agree to refer
10 select committee. He said when that
committee had reported, their report could
be referred to The committee on Commerce.
He would,when the report was offered, make
motion of that kind himself
Mr.. Sample, of Indiana, said he disapprov-
ed Of the display of sectional feeling that had
been Witnessed during the discussion of this
subject. For his part he disclaimed all sec
tional feeling, and although Western man,
he contended that something was also due
the East. He alluded to and deprecated
the attack that Western members had made
upon the city of New York. 1t reminded
him OF the fable in regard to the body and
the limbs. The limbs were dissatisfied with
toling for the stomach, and separated from
it. The consequence was, that the limbs
did not receive the pourshment communi-
Gated TO them from the stomach, and wither
ed. Thus it was with the West aud New
York. One was the stomanh the other the
limbs. What would they be without eacl
other? lie then proceeded to remark upon
the Importance of maintaining friendly re
t lationship between the two sections of coun
try.
Mr.. Hardin, of Ill.,. offered an amendnen
: proposing TO refer the subject to the new con.
: mi,tee TO be called committee Oh eInterna

FROM MEXICO.

From the New Orleans Bee of the 10Th
alt. We learn that Santa Anna had issued a
decree expelling from the Calafornias and
New Mexico all Americans, citizens of the
United States; but that our minister, General
WADDY TnoMPsoN, had demonstrated so
warmly on the subject, declaring that in case
of It's enforcement he would Immediately
demand his passport, that the decree was re-
voked within twenty-four hours after its pro-
mitigation.
Another version is that Mr.. Thompson de-
Glazed that ifthe decree was fulfilled he
would quit Mexico, with or without his
passport. However this may be, the princi-
pal fact may be considered as positive. It's
stated that the decree had been promulgat-
ed under the influence of extreme mental
irritation caused by the reception of Pres;-
dent Iyler's message in the city of Mexico.
1t is rumored that General Thompson has
changed his views in regard to his resgna-
/ ton, and intends SIMPLY asking tor tempo
rary leave of absence.
The Mexican journals publish an ordi
nance in regard TO all foreigners residing a
Mexico which prescribes figidly 10 the vari
Gus authorities in the several department:
ofthe Republic the duty ofkeeping exac
lists Of all foreigners who enter the TERRITORY
of Mexico, of rectifying these lists every year
and transmitting them TO the Central Gov
eminent, &c, &C.,
Bocanegra has resigned his Office of Mn
ister for Foreign afflirs, and j. NJ. Tome
has positively Quilted the Cabinet.
The Mexican feet left Vera Cruz tn
same day as the Lime Rock, viz: the Sth, +
repair to Alvarado.
On the 9th inst, Santa Anna was at Yer
Cruz with his entire suit.

WASHINGTON, January 18th.
IN THE SENATE.

Mr.. McDUFFIE'S TARIFF BILL.
MIR. Evans called up The report fthe COM
mitiee ON Finance, proposing, by resolu-
lion, the indefinite pospon ement OF the bill
introduced by the Senator from South Carroll,
ma, on the ground ofits being an Infringement
of the Constitution.
A question was started whether the bill,
or the resolution simply, was before the SEN
ate.
The CHAIR and Mr.. KING, of Alabama,
considered that the resolution ofthe commit
Tee was TO be taken in he light ofan adverse re
port, and thai the merits OF the bill were be-
fore the Senate; but
Messrs. EVANS. BERRIEN, and HUNTING
TON contended that the preliminary question,
whether the Senate had jurisdiction in this
case, was first TO be settled, and that it would
be absured TO discuss and amend bill with
out first deciding the preliminary point
whether they had any power over the subject
matter OF it.
Mr.. EVANS said it was only the proposl-
stion contained In the resolution that he
should discuss-he could not 90 into the
merits of the bill.
NJ. KING agreed, for his friend from s.
Carolina, that the question should be upon
the indefinite posponement. His friend
could say all he wished on this question.
Mr.. EVANS then stated briefly the reasons
which induced the Committee 10 report the
resolution they had. This was bill to raise
revenue, and by the Constitution no such
bill could originate here, and no case could
be found upon the records where such bill
had FIST passed the Senate. The Compton,
Use bill had been discussed here, but was
finally laid on the table, and similar bill
taken upon from the House, and passed.
Probably The argument was that this was d
bill RENTING part oflhe existing duties but
no mere form of words can alter the true
character of the bill, which is substantially
10 repeal the existing Tariff snd impose a
new rate of duties. The words TO .'raise
revenue" meant to furnish supplies, not sole
ly 10 augment or increase revenue,
Mr.. E. referred TO the debates in the con-
vention which framed the Constitution, and
cited authorities to show the meaning always
given 10 this close of it.
Mr. McDUFFIE said as he meant to dis
cuss the merits of the Bill as well as the pre-
limnary question,he would give way to any
! of the Committee who wished TO speak
: Mr.. WOODBURY. from the minority of the
Committee agreed that the Senate had
right to consider Revenue bills, as in the
first place, and referred TO asses where the,
had done so.
Mr.. HUNTINGTON followed, and when be
concluded Mr.. McDuffie took the floor, Blu
gave way TO a motion for an adjournment.

WE ALL DO FADE AS A LEAF 4!

Have you ever been struck reader, by the evident
,ure, and the various stages Of human life' If not,
reflect upon it, and you will find it interesting. We
can easily conceive how the Divine Being might
have created perpetual variance between our condi
ton and the state Of nature around When he
pronounced the earth accursed ''for sakes,' he
might have aggravated that course, by surrounding
us to a painful extent with immitigabe sameness.
lie might have reduced the large variety Of animal
tribes to the few which for food and have
left quadrupcd to please us with its gambols-
no insect to sport in the summers sunno birds to
delight us with their flight and song lie might have
taken away all the beauty Of the landscape by COM
handing The hill to sink aud valley to rise to perfect
levelby sinking the torrent and rvulet beneath the
surface Of the carth-and by substituting for the
ering and luxuriant tree nothing but the thorn and
tho brier. And from this scene he might have COM
manded the moon and the stars to Withdraw their
light, and have permitted the to look upon il
only through cloud. And had the face of nature
worn an aspect so dreary, he doubtless would have
counted himself most happy, rather least miserable
who should have secluded himself most electuallJ
from behoding it. But so far from being surrounded
by such Il scene, paradise not more adapted t
in his primeval purity, than the present condi
ton Of nature corresponds with altered circum
stances. Req. Or. Hurris,
