All advertisements appear in both P pers, and are inserted atthe^siiaUates Proceedings of Congress^ In the Senate on Monday, Mr Rives gave notice that he should to morrow ask leave to bring in a bill designating t e funds to be received by Government in payment of public dues. Mr Rives ob served, that he had. on a former day, in timated his intention ol proposing a bill of this description himself, in the event that no similar bill should be reported by the Committee on Finance. He viewed the neglect of this highly important sub ject likely to be ot such serious conse quence to the community at large, that he felt himself bound to act on the occa sion by bringing in a bill calculated to do justice to the People in this particular. The following joint resolution from the House of Representatives was then ta ken up and adopted unanimously, viz. Resolved, That the following be added to the standing rules, to wit: No spiritu ous liquors shall be offered for sale or ex hibited in the Capitol or on the grounds. adjacent. The bill for the issue of Treasury notes having been postponed to this day, In order to give Mr Calhoun an opportuni ty of preparing an amendment, and of offering his sentiments generally upon the subject, was now resumed by theSe - .. .. __i _.1_ Mr uainoun men row anu the Senate in a speech, occupying be tween one and two hours* On concluding his speech, Mr Calhoun submitted his amendment, which provid ed that from and after the first of Janua ry next, three-fourths of the money due to the Government may be p aid in notes of specie paying banks; that from and after the 1st of January 1839, one half might be paid in such notes, one quarter after the Istof January, lS40,and that from and after the 1st of January 1841, all sums due the Government for customs, lands. Ac. shall be paid only in the legal currency of the United States, or in such notes, bills, Ac. as should by law be ordered. Mr Webster rose, and irvpdrcd of Mr. C. to what bill it was proposed to make this an amendment. Mr Denton replied, to one called the divorce bill between the Government and •fer t:" nks, which he said was just ahead. Mr Benton, after expressing his entire concurrence in the amendment of Mr. Calhoun, sent to the Chair two amend i mentsof his own, which he said com prised the substance of the bill introduc ed by him two years ago, ‘To re-establish the constitutional curiency of the coun try." llis first amendment provides that cner a day to be specified, all the public dues should be paid in gold and silver only, and in Treasury notes and land ecrifs as might by law be authorised;! and the second provides that alter the resumption of specie payments by the banks, the Treasury should begin with specie payments. These amendments, together with Mr. Calhoun’s, were ordered to be printed. Mr Benton then proceeded to make some remarks on the bill before the Sen ate. Mr Calhoun ro3eto m^ve that the bill be so amended as to prevent the allow ance of interest on the notes to be issued by the Treasury, t ut yielded the floor to Mr Walker, who said he had all along intended to offer a similar amendment, and would now (by leave of Mr. C.) do so. Mr. W. then proceeded to argue in support of his amendment at considera ble length. . M *• _• L. Alter some oiscusmwu ^ hereafter) between Messrs Wright, Cal houn. King, of Georgia, Webster, ano Walker, the latter gentleman modified his motion so as to reduce the maximum interest of six per cent proposed to be authorized, to three per cent; and The question being taken on this a mendment, it was rejected as folio ass Yeas—Messrs Black, Calhoun, Mc Kean, Strange, Walker, Yeung—6.

The bill was then ordered to be en grossed and read a third time by the fol lowing vote: Yeas—Messrs Allen, Bayard, Benton, Black, Brown, Buchanan, Calhoun,Clay, of Ala, Clayton Fulton, Grundy, Hub bard. Kent, King, of Ala., King, of Geo., Knight, Lyon, McKean, Morris,Nicholas, Niles,Norvell, Pierce, Rives, Roane, Rob bins, Robinson, Ruggies, Sevier,Smith, of Conn., Smith, of ind., Strange, Swift, Tallmadge, Tipton, Walker, Wall, Web •ter, White, Williams, Wright, Young,— 42, Nays—Messrs Clay, of Kentucky .Crit tenden, Preston, Southard, Spence-5. The bill extending the time for the pay ment of Merchants’ Revenue bonds, was next taken up. Ijr Webster rose for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the bill, in which, after reflection, he hoped the Chairman of the Committee (Mr Wright) would concur. The bill proposed a de lay of six months; but unless a longer period should be granted, it would be ut terly impracticable to compel payment. By this provision, large sums would fall due in October, in November, in Decem ber, and in January. It was to be con sidered that the obligors on these bonds could not pay them, unless they had time to receive their own dues; and the ex changes and business of the country were ao aiuch obstructed,and so fallen off from tbcfc u-uaV amount, that they could not pay the Government even'on that ac coutre wall their usual promptitude. If thCVO verntnenf pressed them, they would | be compelled to press their customers in *i.a interior snd ihcy j in till n, to press he pioD e eencrallv. It was a question herefore Sheihelber these dews had not thus become a matter of public inter e*,/IndM,rmW.rdouCbted not, might be paid ArAmntlv But a reasonable time must be eivem It had been suggested that the bonds, if necessary, might be renewed; but there were objections to that expedi ent; it was at best a troublesome and ex pensive process. Or. the whole, with a desire that there should be no absolute pressure and that no extraordinary in dulgence should be granted, Mr W. would assume the medium of the two pe riods which had been suggested, and propose an extension of nine months in stead of six, as now in the bill. In the mean time, if that should be deemed in sufficient, il would at least give ample time and opportunity for bringing the subject again before Congress at the en suing session. Mr W. would be extreme ly gratified if the Chairman of the Com mittee would assent to this amendment. Mr Wright said he had received a me morial from merchants of New York, strongly urging an extension of twelve months; and they had stated a single fact which must have a great influence on Congress in this matter; which was, that the principal importations took place semi-annually; anil at such times, that 11he six months in the hill would bring the i Government demands upon them w hen ihey were most pressed for money, whereas, nine months would bring them to the period when they bad the least call for money. Mr W. believed the Treasu ty would not be essentially incommoded by this arrangement, and he was there fore in favor of a change of the time to nine months. Mr Sevier called for the yens and nays on the question, whit h were oidered, and it was carried in the affirmative—ayes 44, noes 1—Mr Sevier only voting in the negative. So the bill was ordered to oe engro^s, cd for a third reading. The bill for adjusting the remaining claims on the late deposite banka was next taken up, on motion of Mr Walker. The bill was so amended as to extend the periods of two, five, and eight months, to four, six, and nine months, respectively, and it was then ordered to be engrossed ' for a third leading. The Senate then proceeded to consider as in Committee of the Whole, the bill to authorize merchandise to he deposited in the public stores, and for other pur poses. ! Mr Buchanan said he relied so much on the benefit of this bill to the countrv, that he wished to record his vote in its favor. He, therefore, called for the yeas and nays on its engrossment: which were ordered. Mr Clay, of Kentucky, said he was en tirely in favor of the object of the bill, •*iu\ -.bought it would be beneficial ulti mately, to u.c commerce of the country, and immediately to the manui?.c!«r—■ and other interests. He would, therefore, vote on it with pleasure. He suggested, however, that it was proper to strike out the exception in relation to fruits. Mr Calhoun said it appeared to him that the bid required more consideration, and that it ought to be postponed to the regular sossi«»n. He moved therefore,] to postpone it to the firot Monday in De cember. Mr Wright said this was not one of the bills peculiarly connected with the supply of the Treasury. He was how ever, ready to act on it now, but was will ing to acquiesc in the will of the Senate j respecting it. Mr Buchanan said he should vote a gainst its postponement. The question had long been agitated whether it was not better that every interest should con form to the laws and usages of every other commercial country, so that goods mi^ht be deposited in the warehouses.— Mr” B. was always prepared to vote for the proposition; and one reason for de laying the bonds was, that, hereafter, no such question could arise. He would in dulge the merchants to the greatest ex tent on condition that this was the last call from them. A similar favor had been shown to the purchasers of the pul) lie lands, and Mr B. thought it equally due to the merchants. So far as he un derstood, there was notone merchant, now in this city who was opposed to its passage. Mr Calhoun said the situation o[ him self and the Senator differed. lie had studied the subject, and had satisfied himself that the bill would be beneficial; and for him there might be sufficient rea- : sons for such a conclusion. But Mr C.! hoped that he would not, therefore, callj upon others to vote without understand | jug the subject. He thought the request to postpone perfectly reasonable, that! others might be as well informed as lie o« the subject. Mr Buchanan said he had such perfect reliance on the information ard intelli gence of the Senator, that he believed his mind would be opposed to the bill on the first of December as much as now. He, despaired of a change in its favor by that time. He called for the yeas and nays on the question of postponement, which were ordered. Mr King of Alabama, said he thought the bill would be advantageous, and he was not prepared to go against it He would move, however, to postpone it till Monday next. Mr Calhoun accepted this modification, though he still thought it ought not to he acted on till the next session; and the hill, Mr Buchanan assenting was post* poned till Monday next. On motion o! Mr Wiight,the Senate ad journed. In the House of lie.presentatives, A number of petitions and remonstran ces were presented against the annexa tion ot Texas to the United States, and tor the establishment of a Bank ol the U. States. Amongst the petitions on the former subject, Mr Adams presented, in succes sion, about eighty different petitions, (of which it has been found impossible to obtain a list for this day’s paper) whkh were under the rule, all ordered to lie on the table. Mr Adams then proposed to offer to the consideration ol the House the follow ing resolution: -Resolved, That the power of annex ing the People of any independent for eign State to this Union Is a power not lelcgated by the Constitution of the Uni ted States to their Congress, or to any Department of their Government, but reset ved to the People.” The Speaker decided thnt the motion was at this hour, out of order, and that therefore, it could not now be either re ceived or read. The standing committees being railed upon, Mr Cambreleng, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the Sen ate’s bill ' to postpone the fourth instal ment of depositc with the States,” with out amendment, ami it was referred to a Committee of the Whole on the State o' the Union. Mr C. further reported a bill “to au thorize merchandise to be deposited in the public stores and for other purposes;” which was read twice, and received the same destination. Also, a bill “to revoke the charters of such banks in the District of Columbia as shall not resume specie payments with in a limited time, and to suppress the cir culation of small notes therein;” which had the same leference. MrC. stated that the Committee had received Irom the Department of War a communication, stating there were not in the Treasury funds to carry on the war in Florida; and thereupon asked leave to report a bill for that purpose. Leave having been given, Mr C. re ported a bill “making an additional ap propriation for the prevention and sup predion of Indian hostilities for the year IS37.” The hill was read at large, and then refeired to a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. [It j proposes to appropriate $ I,(jbO bOO | Mr C. further moved a resolu’ion, di rected by the same committee to be of | fered, fixing the dailv hour for the meet ing of the House at 10 o’clock A. M, till further ordered. On motion 01 Mr Harlan, it was a [mended so as to fix the hour at U; and in this form was agreed to by the House. The following resolution moved on Wednesday by Mr Loomis of New York, having been read, was passed. Resolved. That the Secretary of the Treasury prepare and report to this House as soon as may be convenient, a statement showing what methods have been adopted for the safe keeping of the public funds, since the first organization of the Government under the Consititu* Ition; the length of tim* that each method has been in use, designating the several changes, and when made, and what loss * es under each method have been sustain ed by the Treasury, inconsequence of defalcation of agents or officers so en ! trusted with the funds for sate keeping. MrCambrelcng now moved the orders of the day, but withdrew his motion at the request of MrGholson, who offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Committee of Elec tions be instruct* d to report upon the cer tificate of election of Messrs. Clainorne and Gholson, the members elect from Mississippi, whether they are members of the 23ih Congress or riot; ami that said take into consideration the proclamation of hi** Excellency Cfvrles Lynch, Governor of smd State, and the writ of election issued in accordance With said proclamation, on the 13th day of June, 1S37; and, also, the act of the j Legislature of the State of Mississippi, j entitled “An act to regulate elections,” ap ' proved March 2, 1933. The resolution was agrrcd to. Mr Garland now asked leave to lay on the table, and have printed the following counter project, which he intended here after to move as a substitute for the plan proposed by the Committee of Ways and Mean*: lie it enacted, $c. That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and hereby is, required to adopt such measures as he may deem necessary, to effect the collection of the public revenue of the U* States wheth er arising from duties, taxes, debts, or sales of land, in the manner and on the principles herein piovidcd; that is, that no such duties, taxes, debts, or sums of money payable for lands, shall be col lected or received otherwise than in the legal currency of the United States, or in notes of banks w hich are payable and paid on demand in the said legal curren cy of the United States, under the fol lowing restrictions and conditions in re gard to such notes, to wit: fioni and af ter the passage of this p.et, the notes of no bank which shall issue or circulate hills or notes of a, iess denomination than five dollars shall be received on account of the public dues; and from and after the-day of -the notes of no bank which shall issue or circulate bills or notes of a less denomination than ten dollars, shall be so receivable; and from and after the- day of-- the like prohibition shall he extended to the notes of all banks issuin'; or circulating bills of a less denomination than twenty dollars.

That the Secretary of \\ at be directed to lay before this House a statement of the number of Indians em ployed in the military service of the Uni ted States since the commencement of the present Seminole war, and copies of all orders and instructions under which In dians have been employed, or have been directed to be employed in the military service of t lie U n*ted Slates since the com monument of said war. The resolution would regularly lie one day on the table, but was agreed to by general consent, without that delay. " Mr. Patton, before the House should go to the Orders of the Day, wished to in quire of the Chairman, or some member of the Judiciary Committee, whether the House was to expect from that commit »ee any report on the subject of the Presi dent’s recommendation touching a bank rupt law? ... No response was given to this inquiry. The House then, on motion ol Mr. Cambreleng went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Haynes, of Geo. in the chair,) and pro ceeded to consider the bill from the Se nate postponing the fourth instalment of deposite with the Slates. The hill having been read, Mr. Dawson, of Geo., moved to amend it by substituting for it the following: A Bu.t. to be entitled an act to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to sus pend the expenditure of fifteen millions ol dollars from umxnended balances of appropriations, and to require the execution of the deposite law ol June, 1836. Inasmuch as the report of the Secretary of the Treasury made to the Mouse ol Representatives on the 1 Mi day of Sep tember, 1837. states the fact, that on that day there remained of unexpended bnl .n ces of appropriations of the past and present years, the sum ol twenty-four millions seventy-five thousand two hun dred and thirty-nine dollars thirty seven cents, and that fif een trillions ot dollars would not he required during the present year of said sum for public uses. 1. He i( therefore enacted, That the Se cretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, required to suspend the expendi ture of fifteen millions of dollars of the unexpended balance* of appropriations of the past and present year*, and that said sum be placed in the Treasury for the purpose and use of the Government. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby authorized, to suspend the said sum of fifteen millions Irom such of said unexpended appropriations which in his judgment shall least affect the public in terest. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and lie is hereby, requited to cariy fully into execution the deposite act ol June, 1S30;j and that all laws contravening the pro-1 visions of this act be repealed so far, and ! no farther. A debate took place on this motion, of i which some account will he hereafter given. The committee rose w itliout talc- ] ing the question. Mr. Cambreleng presented the follow ing statements, prepared by himself, to show the Mate ol the Treasury: Estimated State of the Treasury, on the 1 st of October.
