President Of the United States, forthwith to noti-
fly the government of Great Britain that. az the

Mr. Sturgeon presented petition from Libe-
! ria, asking protection from our government. Pc
titlons were presented from citizens claiming re-
lief from the government for spoIiations by
Frnnce, which had not been provided for in the
treaty with thai government. These gave rise
TO considerable debate, on a motion of Mr. Fair
jheld TO refer them 10 a select commue, which
motion prevailed. Mr.. Benton presented me-
mortal from Amos Kendall, asking relief on ac-
count of expenses incurred by him in copse-
quence of suits against him individually, for acts
done officially as Postmaster General.-Reler-
! red.

motion to refer the preamble and resolutions of
the Massachusetts Legislature to a select com

I inserting Judiciary Committee
The discussions on the motions for reference,
took wide range, and elected some of the best
if not the best talent in the House In the course
Of it, the views and objocts Of the Naive Ameri-
can party, were shown up in no cnviable light.
would be glad to give you more detailed account
of the debate, and The grounds taken and the
views expressed by the different speakers; but
The limits of letter preclude this, without Ell
ler delay your paper, Or its publication, on the
iday, by which tune you will have seen il in the
papers Of this city, and can select to your liking.
When the debate will end, | cannot say;
have little doubt, however, that its termination
will be also the termination Of the party, which
has sought so yigiIantIy to make inroads upon
one Of the first and most interesting features o
our government AS ii is the death struggle; SC
will it also embrace the funeral sermon of that
most An-American faction,
