On motion of Mr. Williams of N. C. the bill was ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Taylor, the House then adjourned. In consequence of the modification by the Senate ot the convention between the United States and Great Britain, tor the suppression ot the African slave trade, Mr. Adams, as soon as congress adjourned last spring, 9ent the amended treaty to Mr. Hush, our minister in London, with in- structions to lay it before the British go- vernment, and to request its acceptance of Ibe modifications proposed A correspon- dence accordingly took place between Mr* Kush and Mr. Canning, the British Secretary of State, on the subject. The British Secretary, though bis government would have preferred the original treaty as submitted to the Senate acceded to all the modifications made in it by that bo- dy, except that which excluded the right ot searching vessels suspected of slave- trading on the coa9t of America. Mr- Canning considered that while this right ot search was authorized to be practised in the West Indies.lhe principles of equal- ity and mutual confidence required it to he authorized on the American coast.— Willing to ralilv the treaty with the res- toration of this provision, the British go veroraent sentan authority to Mr. Adding- ton, its charge of affairs at Washington, to agree to the instrument with that amend ffieot. To this effect Mr. Addington ad- dreied to Mr Adams, in the early part of la3* month, a letter. In the reply ot Mr, Adams, be states the unabated earnestness ot our government to accomplish the en- tire extinction of the odious traffic in slaves and states that the President would refer the whole subject to the deliberate advise- meat of congress, with whom it now rests Philadelphia Aurora. At the period of Sir Joshua Reynold's visit to Rome, it was a custom with the Kaglish painters there to meet in the e- venirgs for conversations, and frequently to make little excursions together in the country. On one ot those occasions, on a summer afternoon, when the season was particularly hot. the whole company threw off their coats, a9 being an incumbrance to them, except one. named Astley, who alone showed great reluctance to follow' this general example: this seemed very unaccountable to his companions, when some jokes made on his singularity at last obliged him to take his coat off also. \ he mystery was then immediately explained; for it appeared that the hinder part ot his waistcoat was made, by way ol thriltiness fiut of one of his own picture?, and thus displayed a tremendous waterfall on hi? hick, to the great diversion of his com Ramons’ l or Rent, The house on WashinjftoTi^treet lately occupied by the subscriber, it h* in a very gv>od stale ol repair, a healthy situation and genteel fteijthbprbiwMi.

We have understood that the offenders are to be t e I by a military tribunal, and con- sequently the public vengeance will be sa- tisfied as speedi!*' as possible; and in lact that is the very measure which peaceable citizens are urgently demanding; by ap- prehending them nothing is gained* the jails being lull ot criminals of every class.

The resold ion, offered yesterday by Mr. 0renf, was then taken up and agreed to.

The btll to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to adopt a new Hydrometer tor ascertaining the proof of liquors, was

jead a third time and passed. Mr. IVicklitfe offered the folio 1 wmg re«o*

which was ordered to lie on the Jut ion ; table:

Kesolved, That it is expedient to amend the

act ot Congress of the first of March, 1792, re*

lath e to Electors of President and Vice Presi- dent, that the appointment of Election, by the

tcveral States, shall be made upon the same

sons which rendered it necessary that the rotes ol the Electors of President should be given on the same day, operated to

mak*j it equally necessary tn»( the election el Ulectois should tie made on the same

day throughout the United States ; and re*

cent events had rendered bis conviction on this subject, more settled He should move to lay the resolution on the table ; which was agreed to.

On motion ot Mr- Hamilton, it was

Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expe- diency of providing bylaw tor the appointment

an additional number ot Deputy or Assistant Quartermasters, with a view of securing a

more effective responsibility in the disburse- ment of property in that department.

On motion of Mr, Tracy, the House re-

solved itself into Committee, on the Bill further to amend the act authorising the payment for property lost, captured or

destroyed by the enemy while in the mili- tary service of the United States, and for other purposes—Mr. Campbell, ot Ohio, io the Chair

Alter several amendments were offered and discussed, on motion of Mr. Dwight, the Committee rose, reported progress and obtained leave to sit again.

On motion of Mr. Williams of N. C. the bill was ordered to be printed.

On motion of Mr. Taylor, the House then adjourned.

In consequence of the modification by the Senate ot the convention between the United States and Great Britain, tor the suppression ot the African slave trade, Mr. Adams, as soon as congress adjourned last spring, 9ent the amended treaty to Mr. Hush, our minister in London, with in- structions to lay it before the British go- vernment, and to request its acceptance of Ibe modifications proposed A correspon- dence accordingly took place between Mr* Kush and Mr. Canning, the British Secretary of State, on the subject. The British Secretary, though bis government would have preferred the original treaty as submitted to the Senate acceded to

all the modifications made in it by that bo- dy, except that which excluded the right ot searching vessels suspected of slave- trading on the coa9t of America. Mr- Canning considered that while this right ot search was authorized to be practised in the West Indies.lhe principles of equal- ity and mutual confidence required it to

he authorized on the American coast.—

Willing to ralilv the treaty with the res-

toration of this provision, the British go veroraent sentan authority to Mr. Adding- ton, its charge of affairs at Washington, to

agree to the instrument with that amend ffieot. To this effect Mr. Addington ad- dreied to Mr Adams, in the early part of la3* month, a letter. In the reply ot Mr, Adams, be states the unabated earnestness ot our government to accomplish the en-

At the period of Sir Joshua Reynold's visit to Rome, it was a custom with the Kaglish painters there to meet in the e-

venirgs for conversations, and frequently to make little excursions together in the

country. On one ot those occasions, on a

summer afternoon, when the season was

particularly hot. the whole company threw off their coats, a9 being an incumbrance to them, except one. named Astley, who alone showed great reluctance to follow' this general example: this seemed very unaccountable to his companions, when some jokes made on his singularity at last obliged him to take his coat off also. \ he mystery was then immediately explained; for it appeared that the hinder part ot his waistcoat was made, by way ol thriltiness fiut of one of his own picture?, and thus displayed a tremendous waterfall on hi?

BKNEDICTIOjN. The General seemed much affected at

some parts of the exhibition, and when- ever his name was mentioned, the audience testified their approbation by loud and re-

peated plaudits. About three o'clock the Nation's Guest

was received at the College by the Facul- ty and Students, with the banners belong- ing to the several Societies, The venera-

ble President of the Institution then de- livered a short but feeling address, to

which the General made an appropriate reply. The Students were, afterwards, se-

verally introduced, and each had an op* purtunity of taking by the band, our com-

mon friend and benefactor. He was then conducted to Dr. Staughton’s dwelling, where, with (be beads ot Departments and other distinguished individuals, he partook of a splendid collation*

Mexico, Nov. 2

The Hon. Sr. 3antamaria has permitted us to print a partot an official communica- tion Irom Sr. Koca, Inteudant General of

Guayaquil, as follows:

Guayaquil, Sept. 28. 1824, ‘To the Hon S* Miguel de SaQtamaria-

‘Honored Sir, ‘After having put in the letter bog the

despatch that l send you by tbi9 vessel, at

the moment that she was about to sail, a

brig arrived from Guancinaco, and the

Captain asserts, that our army bgd a se-

cond time crowned itself with llurels, by destroying tbe enemy beyond Guamanga, with the exception of only one corps o»

i loen who tuvo escaped; tbe doubt is,whe-

tber this is a second defeat of Canterac,or whether the action bas been vriib the co» lumn competed ot distinct detachments, that was marching to the assistance of the army; but whatever the eorps was* it is a complete victory^ the enemy being redu- ced to a slate of nullity.’

Mexico* Oct* 3o* Our loud and earnest demands for pub- lic security have been beard, and we have

the satisfaction ot announcing that ener* get c measures have been taken by ail the authorities, to pursue and punish the evil doeaa who have recently dared to throw this capital into consternation; but we cannot avoid calling the attention of our fellow citizens, although it may offend his native modesty, to the singular activity of our worthy commandant general the citi- zen Ignaier Mora, who bas already sue' ceeded in apprehending many well known robbers, and is pursuing their comrades with the utmost diligence, as well within as out ot the city, insomuch, that if he proceeds with the same vigor, we doubt not that in a little time be will purge this so important a part ot the republic-'-of the miscreants that infest if.

We have understood that the offenders are to be t e I by a military tribunal, and con-

sequently the public vengeance will be sa- tisfied as speedi!*' as possible; and in lact that is the very measure which peaceable citizens are urgently demanding; by ap- prehending them nothing is gained* the jails being lull ot criminals of every class.
