by MIR. Staples, of Patrick-A preamble and
resolutions in relation to kossuth and the poll
cy of Intervention by the American Govern
ment.
The preamble and resolutions are drawn up
with care and ability. They express sympa-
thy for Hungary and Kossuti. but are strongly
antiinterventon. MIR. S. said he offered them
in obedience to the wishes of many of his most
intelligent constituents, who's views conceded
with his own on the subject He moved that
they be laid on the table and printed.
Mr.. Rives, of Prince George, approved the
sentiments contained in the preamble and reso-
lutions, and was in favor of having them re-
ferred to a select committee, to report on the
subject: He did no. anticipate that the subject
would be brought before the Virginia leg sla-
ture but since it had been, he wished it to as
sumo as formidable shape as possible He
was in favor OF adopting such course as
would at once prevent the Hungarian from
coming amongst US and spreading his mis-
chievous doctrines.
Mr.. Barbour was opposed to any action at
all on the subject by the Legislature Of Vir-
ginia. We have enough to do, to attend TO our
own affairs, without interfering with the affairs
of Austria, or bothering ourselves about the
opinions of kosspth. He was opposed to
raising select committee on the subject, and
hoped the resolutions would be laid on the
table.
The resolutions having been laid on the tn
Bile, Mr. Rives, of Prince George, subsequent
ly moved that they be taken up and acted on.
The question being submitted from the Chair,
the House, by tremendous Mo- from all
sides, refused to take them up.
The House was engaged some time in per-
fecting bill, on its second reading, for the in
corporation of the Virginia Navigation Com
pany. And at 3 o'clock adjourned.
