He then proceeded to make two communications which l lose no time in transmitting lor the itifonna lion ol the President.

I' ir-t. lie said that lie had heen instruct- ed by Lord Castlereagh, lo make known to ine, in general terms, that his Lord- ship lead already taken the commands of the Prince Regent, as lo the point in con- troversy between the two government" respecting the slaves; and that his Royal Highness acceded lo the President’s de sire, that the true construction ol t|»- trea- ty of Ghent, in this particular should be referied to the decision of the Emptier ol Uuvsia.

His Lordship, desirous that I should lie apprized at once ol this assent, would not leave town without leaving the pro- per instructions for my being so. On ins return, he would, Mi Plauta subjoined, suggest to me such official steps, as it appeared lo this government proper, that both parties should lake to carry into cl* led their mutual dcsiir. 1 shall wait these further suggestions from his Lord- ship, and have the honor to convey them to you in a despatch the moment they are made known to me.

t!ie ieport of the ci>nimiMre on Indian etia r-<, adverse to tlit expediency ol a

h'dishiug the system of Indian trade as established by the art of |hI!.

Mr. I riiuLle nhsirvnl that it had been his intention to oppose this report, and move its recommitment, vs it It distinctions to bring inn bill to abolish the piesent s\stern of indiaii trade, and substitute a different syatem ; hut as the session was drawing to a close, and a great deal of in- formation had been called for, on the subject, from the Secretary ot the Trea sui'v, w hieii it would he necessary to pos- sess, before acting on the system ol In diau trade, lie would wave his opposition now, and let the irpnrl pass—the subj» ct could be taken up at the next sesion.

I ho report was concurred in. I he Senate then resumed the conside-

ration ot the hill to renew mid extend the charter ol the city of W ashington ; and continued occupied tor several hours in an examination ot the detail*, w Inch are very numerous, as the bill embraces most of the provisions ol the late chatter, with sundry additions.

On some of these a good (teal of de- bate took place, particularly on the ex- pediency of aiillmiisiug the corporation to raise 10,000 dollars a year by way wf lottery, lor ceitain purposes to be ap* proved by the President of the United States. This power formed part of the late charter, in < xi*lence twenty years, hut lias not until lalrl\ been exercised ; being incorporated in this bill also, Mr. liurrifl proposed Jo expunge it, and the qu» slum was argued at much length—the motion was finally mgatived—ayes 14. lines 21.

I lie Senate resumed the consideration ol the bill supplementary to the act con- cerning navigation/1

Mi.

All the amendments u, Hie bill, adopt- ed by the committee, having been agreed lo in the Senate,

I lie question was staled on ordering the bill torn third reading. Mr. Dana wished only to *emark, that he

should vote lor the bill, though be had m I entire confidence in its efficiency ; lie did not think it comprehensive enough, or that it went far enough to ( fleet its object. I he bill was then ordered to be engros- sed and nad a third lime, by the follow, lowing vote :

The Senate, on motion r,1 Mr. Sanford, proceeded to the coiiHuhrali-.u of the Re- port of the committee ol lonleu nre on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses-, on the amendment of the SenaU- to the military appropriation bill.

Mr. /tnrritl mov-d that I lie Senate re- cede from their said amendment.

Mr. Johnson of Kcntmd;\ having pre- mised tliai lie had no! Iiefoie troubled the Senate with any remarks on Hits subject, siibr»iill« d a few observations to slit-iv that as tlie oilier House had manifested so de- cided an opposition to the prosecution ol the Missouri expedition above the Conn cil Bluff/., it was to be expected that the executive would, from respect tor that decision, no! desire at present t * go be- yond (bat point ; that the House bad also decided that they approved this expedi- tion as far as the Council Blutls ; that the .Senate had yielded to tin- House, the first point, but tlioHght it important that a sufficient sum should be appropriated to snpporl the expedition at the Council BluOa, and to enable the Secretary of War to comply with obligations entered into according to law ; that this bjecl rrquir- ed hut J>«»(),000 more than the (louse hail agreed to ; and he thought, if the Senate would still insist on its amendment, so as to bring the subject again before the committee of cotifetcnce, an arrangement would be agreed to by which this sum would be vieldcd by I he other House, see-

iag lliat Hip Senate had yielded to the House in ita viawa as related to ihe Man dan villages, Ac. He therefore, with these views, hoped lh« Scnaltt would not recede, hut would again insist on their amendment.

The question was then taken on re- 1 ceding from the amendment, and decided
