We learn from Washington that there is not much disposition to make this a session important cither as to legislative excitement or debate. It is a sort of political interregnum, and every one is waiting and looking for the 4th of March. There appears to be a settled determination not to stir the tariff question during the present session; but it is evident that this is to be the promineut busi ness of the next. Without reference to parties or to districts of country, the present tariff is too in jurious to the general interests of the nation to remain the permanent law of the land; and we shall probably be led to what is very much want ed, a general revision of ourj-evenue laws. The commencement of a new administration, whose legislation will be conducted more with a view to the real interests of the country, and less to those of parties, is the fittest, and, if we may judge from the experience of the last session, is perhaps the only time to frame wise, salutary, and dura ble laws. v/ur correspondents at tne capital say, mat al though the winter was expected to he very dull in the mat'er of legislation, it was not likely to be so in that of fashion. The defeated party seem determined to keep up their spirit?, and to “ die with dignity.” The indications of sociability are stronger now than at the commencement of either of the two last ses-ions. Tho warfare is over, and with it have vanished the shyness and es trangement to which it gave birth. The members are looking for a pleasant winter til! the middle of February, when comes on the earnival of our party, anil lasts till the middle of March. \fb. We arc somewhat curious to see what informa tion will be elicited by Mr. Verplanck’s resolu tion agreed to by the House on Thursday, calling upon the President as to the nature of the private information received by him respecting the smug gling carried on upon our northern frontier. We ■bought that there was to be no smuggling under the Tariff law. The friends of the Administration assured us in the most confident and boastful terms, that the apprehension was utterly ground less. The desire of gain, the temptation of oppor tunity, stiong as they were, we were told, would be insufficient to induce our own citizens to violate so wholesome and favorite a law ami even the in habitants of the Canadas were to hold it in the most reverential respect. When we spoke of the necessity that would arise to establish, at an enor mous expense, along our immense northern boun dary, a cordon of inen in the service of government, to prevent those violations of (he revenue laws, which even Britain, with her almost innumerablo army of revenue officers, finds herself unable to j repress, we were tauntingly told that our fears were ridiculous,anJ that the event would convince 11s of our mistake. The consequences we piedict cd—the legitimate consequences of excessive du ties—are already taking place,somewhat to the con fusion of the drudges of party. First came rumors of the miraculous celerity with which cloths as good as English were made in factories on ilie Canada frontier—spun, wOven, dyed, fulled, sheared and pressed in the space of a night.—Then came a lit tle circular from Mr. Rush, intimating that it would be necessary for our revenue otficers to keep a sharp look out for smugglers, and that it would probably be necessary to increase their number. Afterwards a paragraph reached us from a paper printed at Galena in the wildernesses of Illinois, announcing that troops had been ordered to the northern frontier to assist in preventing the unlawful introduction of foreign merchandize. Fi nally, Secretary Peter B. Porter,in his late report, speaking of the occupation ot certain new military post? on that frontier, says: ** Besides these inducements for strengthening our inland frontier, another import.™* one wa« found in the expediency of affording sufficient and timely aid to our revenue officer? boldly avowed by high authority, and not yet abandoned, of in troducing foreign goods into the United States ei ther by stratagem or force, without the payment of duties; and this precaution was more particular ly necessary along the Niagara frontier, where we had no troops, and where it is notorious that large quantities of foreign goods are row collected with this obvious design.” ft was upon tnis passage in the report that the resolution by Mr. Verplanck was founded, and wc look to the communication of the required in formation fur a disclosure of some of the necessa ry and usual mischiefs (lowing from exorbitant duties. \n>. It is reported that a seizure of pood? to a very large amount has been mailp within a few days past by the officers of tho Customs. The articles, it is said, consist chiefly of fine jewellery, valued at more than one hundred thouaand dollars. [!b.

It is stated from Washington, that Mr Hughes, the Aineiicon Charge dc Allaire*, in Holland, haj been nominated to the Senate as Minister PI# nj potential v and Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of the Netherlands. It is understood that ttiis promotion is the consequence of tho late reference of the North Eastern Boundary question to the king of the Netherlands, as umpire between the United States and Great Britain. ~A letter fiom Rio de Janeiro, under date of ?<>tli TTcf., from a respectable source, states that Mr. T«?t>on (our Charge des Aflaire*) has nearly com pleted the negotiation of a Treaty of Commerce between the United States and Brazil. I he same letter states that it was expr"ted tho law to equal ise the duties on imports at fifteen per cf nt. wou!J go into operation in a f#;w days.

Mr. Benton offered the following resolution for consideration—which was unanimously agreed to: Resolved, That the Committee on Indian Affair* be instructed to inquire into the present condition of the Fur trade within the Iftnits of the V. States, and to report what measures, if any, are necesearv to the safe and successful prosecution of that trad* by citizens of the United States. Mr. Foot offered the following resolution; which lies on the tabic till to morrow: Resolved, That the President of the V. S. be re quested to cause to be laid before the Senate, at the next session, a statement, showing tho amount of monies appropriated; the quantity of the public lands,with their value at the minimum prices, which have been granted; and the amount of the per cent re on tho procee^of lands sold by the U. S. reserv cd, and pledged to the several States admitted into the Union, since the adoption of the Constitution, lor the purposes of Education,aud the construction of Roads and Canals, within, and leading to, said States; specifying the amount received’by each State, as far as practicable. Mr. Eaton proposed an amendment to the 3Uh standing rule of the Senate, by strikiog out the lirst line, and inserting in lieu thereof, “The Pres ident pro tempore of the Senate shall appoint the Standing Committees of the Sennte; but, if there be uo President pro tempore,” the Senate will pro ceed, by ballot, severally to appoint, &c. [agreea bly to the mode now pursued.] The motion was ordered to lie on the table fill to-morrow. I'he resolutions yesterday offered by Mr, John ston, of Louisiana, Mr. Ruggles, and Mr. Berrien, were severally considered and agreed to. Two Messages were received from tho Presi dent of the United States, by Mr. .John Adams-, which were not read. COMMERCE OF TIIE WEST. 7 lie bill allowing duties on foreign merchandise, imported info Louisville, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, to bo secured and paid r.* those pi ces,* was taken up and considered as iu Com mittee of the Whole. Mr. Woodbury, (Chairman of the Committee on Commerce) said, this was the same bill which had been before that committee, and passed the 3a na'e, at its last session, but was not acted upon, in the House of Representatives. Full security was afforded to tho public by its provisions that tho duties would be paid : and, as the convenience of tho merchants td tho Western country would he promoted, and the public lose nothing by tho proposed arrangement, he saw no obstacle to tho passage of the bill. Mr. M.irks said, be recollected that two sessions since, he had presented a memorial fiom the mer chants of Pittsburg, praying that that place might be made a poit of entry. Since that time he h?d understood that the citizens of Pittsburg did not require the passage ot: a |avv on the subject—thrv Were altogether indifferent to its passage, and he was not certain whether they would approve of it He merely rose to give the Senate this information. It was altogether immaterial to him what order the Senate took upon the hill. Mr. Woodbury said, the gentleman from Penn sylvania had not, certainly, paid attention-fo ♦» a provisions of the bill. He would state, for his in formation, that the bill did not provide for the es tablishment of ports of entry. It was not the fn. tention of the committee to make such a provision It was at first contemplated; hut, for himself, ho was against it. 1 ho bill pmvides merely that tho duties on goo.’- to be Imported into Louisville sha! be secured to be paid at those places: tho bonds will then be sent to New Orleans nrd mid at such places as the Collector of that port might direct. \\ hile on tlie lloor, he would state, that an amendment had been made to the hill at the last session, which was not contained in it as intro nuced by the Senator from .Missouri, vi/- to in elude “jYashvilfe, in the Strife of T< nner.see •> as I one of the places at which, also, duties on foreton merchandise might he secured to he paid. For th a purpose ot extending tho same privilege to that place, he would move that tho words he had named be inserted in the hill. The motion of Mr. W. prevailed. Mr. Marks explained that he had not paidatten hen to the provisions of (I*, bill, and repeated ,t was immaterial to him whether It passed or no Mr. Benton stated, that the object of the hill was to give facilities to those persons in tho Western country who were engaged in foreign commerce. I he bill was under the consideration of the Com mittee of C ominercfc when a distinguished Senator from Massachusetts [Mr. LloydJ Was its Chairman He approve) of making the places named in the I M P°rt* °J «n«ry. Since then, that Committee had I contemplated a different method, which was con j sidered more safe. For years past foreign goods had been imported into the Western country, consign ed to merchants in tho interior, from the port off i verpool in particular. New Orleans was the poit of delivery, and the consignees had to pay 2 or 3 nr, cent, to commission merchants to attend to the trans-shipment of their property, and the scruniy of the duties upon it. This was on* hardship* Another was, the great advance of money which , it cost them to have the business attended to. it ivas a fact, that some of the interior towns worn nearer to the Gulf of Mcx-co than New Orleans v. is fifteen years ago. These merchants can " - tend to their own business quite as well, if not bet te- than it is now attended to at New Orleans s the Government he equally secure in the payment of tho duties, while it would be a great aeco.nn dahon to those merchants if the foil should ra,t As far as the change contemplated by the hill wax known, it had given general satisfaction, it would he of great advantage to the commerce of th!
