On motion of Mr. WEBSTER, the joint resolution was amended so as to extend the provision up to this day, at 2 o'clock, as regards the reception of bills from the House, and to include four bills which had been acted on by the Senate, but had not yet been sent.

On motion of Mr. WEBSTER, the joint resolution was further amended, by including in the suspension the 17th rule, which prohibits the transmission of bills to the President of the United States during the last day of the session.

Mr. CLAY moved to rescind the order of the Senate setting apart the Fridays and Saturdays of each week for the consideration of bills; and, after a discussion on a point of order, in which Messrs. WEBSTER, CALHOUN, CLAY, KING, and SHEPLEY, took part, the resolution was rescinded.

GOLD COINS.

On motion of Mr. WEBSTER, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill to regulate the gold coins of the United States.

Mr. WEBSTER briefly explained the provisions of the bill. He concluded by moving to strike out from the bill the lines making provision for the gold dollar. The amendment was agreed to.

He ex

Mr. EWING said he had made up his mind to vote for the bill, in deference to the opinions of others, although he was of opinion that the relative value of gold had been fixed too high. He adverted to what had been said on the subject of the value being placed at 16 to 1; and also to the various value of the foreign silver coins. pressed his apprehension that the silver would disappear from among us, and that small notes would take its place. While the States admitted the circulation of small notes, they would, in three years, constitute the sole circulation. Still, he should vote for the bill.

Mr. CALHOUN advocated the bill in a very few remarks. He thought that wherever silver was protected it would retain its place; and where it was not protected, paper would take its place. He thought the bill safe, and should give it his support.

of computing value, and the difficulty of coming to an accurate result.

Mr. CALHOUN said, the usual custom of foreign countries was to make gold somewhat above the mercantile value. In Spain the relative value of gold was 16 to 1. In Cuba it was 17 to 1.

Mr. CHAMBERS read an extract from the letter of a correspondent, in opposition to the passage of the bill. The question was then taken on the engrossment of the bill, and decided as follows:

YEAS.-Messrs. Benton, Bibb, Black, Brown, Calhoun, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Grundy, Hendricks, Hill, Kane, Kent, King of Alabama, King of Georgia, Leigh, Linn, Mangum, Morris, Poindexter, Prentiss, Preston, Robbins, Robinson, Shepley, Smith, Swift, Tallmadge, Tipton, Tomlinson, Tyler, Waggaman, Webster, White, Wilkins, Wright.-35.

NAYS.-Messrs. Chambers, Clay, Knight, Porter, Silsbee, Southard, Sprague.-7.

The bill was then passed.

The Senate proceeded to consider the bill to regu late the circulation of foreign gold coins in the United States.

Mr. WEBSTER moved to amend the bill, after a conference with the director of the mint, by modifying the clause concerning the French coins, and also concerning those of Spain, Mexico, and Peru; which was agreed to.

The bill was then ordered to be engrossed, and was then read a third time and passed.

Mr. SILSBEE, from the Committee on Commerce, reported the bill making appropriations for building lighthouses, &c., with certain amendments.

On motion of Mr. MANGUM, the Senate took a recess past 2) for one hour.

EVENING SESSION.

The VICE PRESIDENT did not take the Chair at the opening of the evening session.

On motion of Mr. WEBSTER, the Senate proceeded to the election of a President pro tem.

Mr. SPRAGUE said he could not vote for this bill. He believed it would throw the evils on the other side. We were creating the same disproportion between gold and silver, as at present existed, making a distinction on one side as much too wide as that which now existed on the other. All agreed that the true line was between the two estimates. Why gentlemen should transcend the point which every body agreed was the true line of value between the two metals, he did not know. No one contend-lows: ed that the true value was 16 to 1, but all believed that it was between 15 and 16.

Mr. EWING added that the gold had been debased by this bill, which he regretted.

Mr. CALHOUN stated that the superintendent of the mint had been consulted.

Mr. BENTON said that the debasement was too trifling to be an object of exception.

Mr. PORTER expressed his intention to vote against the bill, and asked for the yeas and nays, which were ordered.

Mr. KING, of Georgia, stated, that the effect of the bill would be to raise the value of gold 4 per cent., which is only a little above the mercantile value of the article.

Mr. SILSBEE called for the yeas and nays, which being ordered, the question was decided in the negative, as follows:

Mr. KNIGHT submitted an amendment to appropriate $5,000 for a marine hospital at Providence, Rhode Island. Mr. HILL asked for the yeas and nays on the question, which were not granted, there not being a sufficient number of members concurring.

The question being taken upon Mr. KNIGHT'S motion, it was negatived.

The bill was then reported to the Senate, and the amendments passed in the Committee of the Whole, with the exception of the amendment of Mr. MANGUM, were agreed to.

Mr. MANGUM's amendment being under consideration, it was adopted, as follows:

YEAS.-Messrs. Benton, Bibb, Black, Brown, Calhoun, Clay, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Hendricks, Kane, Kent, Knight, Leigh, Linn, Mangum, Poindexter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston, Robbins, Robinson, Southard, Tyler, Waggaman, Webster, Wilkins.-26.

NAYS.-Messrs. Chambers, Clayton, Hendricks, Kent, King of Alabama, Knight, Naudain, Porter, Robbins, Silsbee, Southard, Sprague, Tallmadge, Tipton, Tomlinson, Waggaman, Webster, Wright.-18.

So the bill was laid on the table.

The Senate proceeded to consider the amendments of the House to the bill of the Senate,.concerning the duties on hardware, and, on motion of Mr. WEBSTER, the Senate concurred in the amendments.

The bill making appropriations for the public buildings, as amended by the Committee on the District of Colum bia, was taken up, the amendments was agreed to, and the bill subsequently read a third time and passed.

The bill to grant a township of land to the Polish ex iles, came from the House with an amendment, subjecting the Poles to the payment of the minimum price on the lands selected, ($1 25 per acre.)

Mr. CLAY moved that the Senate disagree to the amendment. The motion was supported by Mr. WEB

On taking the question, the amendment was disagreed to.

On motion of Mr. CLAY, the motion to lay the lighthouse bill on the table was reconsidered, ayes 17, noes 15, and the bill was then recommitted to the Committee on Commerce.

BOSTON MEMORIAL.

The Senate assembled at 9 o'clock.

Mr. WEBSTER said that he would now discharge the last of his duties with regard to memorials connected with the removal of the deposites. It would be recollected that, in the spring, a memorial, professing to be the memorial of the citizens of Boston, and to be signed by about six thousand names, in support of and friendly to the action of the administration in the removal of the deposites, was referred to the Committee on Finance for examination. The memorial was printed, and compared with a list of the electors, and the memorial was found to contain eleven hundred and thirty real signatures, instead of three thousand and sixty, as it purported to be. Among the names were found repetitions; the names of the dead, as well as of the living, were found inscribed upon it. Mr. W. moved that the report be printed and daid upon the table.

It was so ordered.

On motions of the various Chairmen, the several committees were discharged from subjects committed to them and remaining to be acted upon.

INDIAN INTERCOURSE.

The Senate then proceeded to consider the bill to regulate Indian intercourse.

The amendments reported by the Committee on Indian Affairs were agreed to.

Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN moved a further amendment, providing that the repeal of former laws by this bill should not affect the rights of the Indians on the Mississippi; which was agreed to.

The amendments were then ordered to be engrossed, and the bill to be read a third time; and the bill was then read a third time and passed.

Subsequently, on motion of Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN, this bill was reconsidered, for the purpose of making an amendment concerning the superintendency of Indian affairs at St. Louis. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill was read a third time and passed.

ordered.

Mr. KING, of Alabama, objected to the instruction, and asked for further explanations to show its necessity.

Mr. SOUTHARD replied, that the public treasure was in danger; and if there was any object which could require the attention of a committee during the recess, it was this. The Committee on Finance had been instructed to obtain information, and had not yet been able to gain it for want of time. It was to enable the committee to act at all, that this proposition was made.

Mr. KING made some further remarks in reply.
The question was then taken, and decided as follows:

IMPROVEMENT OF THE HUDSON RIVER. On motion of Mr. WRIGHT, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill from the House of Representatives, appropriating $70,000 for the improvement of the naviga tion of the Hudson river below Albany.

Mr. WEBSTER asked for the yeas and nays on the question of ordering the bill to a third reading-which were ordered.

Mr. CALHOUN said a few words as to the impropriety of making an appropriation so wide in its latitude.

Mr. CLAY said he had designed to make an amendAlbany and Troy, but if the Senators from New York ment to embrace the obstructions in the river between would give a pledge that the money should be equally expended above and below Albany, he would not press his amendment.

Mr. WRIGHT and Mr. TALLMADGE stated their readiness to have the money equally expended. Mr. SMITH moved to amend the bill by introducing an appropriation for the Connecticut river, and accompanied his motion with some remarks in explanation.

Mr. WEBSTER expressed himself in favor of the object, but was opposed to pressing the amendment now, as it would hazard the present bill, since the amendment must be sent to the House for concurrence.

Mr. TOMLINSON advocated the amendment, and stated that the appropriation had been made in a bill which was vetoed by the President, and that the object was important and ought to receive the sanction of Congress.

Mr. CALHOUN opposed the bill, objecting to the hasty passage of such a bill at this period of the session, when it required the utmost deliberation, and moved to lay the bill on the table.

The yeas and nays were ordered on this question, which was decided as follows:

YEAS. Messrs. Benton, Bibb, Black, Calhoun, Grundy, Hill, King of Georgia, Leigh, Linn, Mangum, Moore, Preston, Shepley, Tyler, White.-15.

NAYS.-Messrs. Clay, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Hendricks, Kane, Knight, Naudain, Poindexter, Robbins, Robinson, Silsbee, Smith, Southard, Tallmadge, Tipton, Tomlinson, Waggaman, Webster, Wright.-19. So the motion to lay the bill upon the table was nega tived.

On motion of Mr. TYLER, the Senate took up the bill appropriating 500,000 acres of land for the satisfaction of land warrants of the officers and soldiers of the Virginia continental line.

Mr. TIPTON moved some amendments, the object of which was to substitute money for scrip, at the rate of one dollar an acre.

So the bill was ordered to lie on the table.

The House having insisted on their amendment to the bill granting a township of land to the exiled Poles, the Senate receded from their disagreement--it being intimated that the Poles were willing to take the bill on the terms stipulated by the House, (paying the minimum price, &c.)

The Senate asked a conference with the House on the d'sagreeing vote on the Potomac bridge bill, and Messrs. CHAMBERS, TOMLINSON, and KING of Geo., were appointed a committee.

[Subsequently, Mr. CHAMBERS reported a recommendation that the Senate recede from their amendment, striking out the second section of the bill, and adhere to their amendment striking out the third section; and the report was agreed to.]

The House having non-concurred in the amendment of the Senate to the bill to regulate the Indian intercourse, which provides that the provisions of the intercourse bill of 1802 shall not be interfered with as regards the Indians east of the Mississippi,

Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN moved that the Senate insist on their amendment.

NAYS.-Messrs. Bibb, Calhoun, Chambers, Clay, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Kent, Knight, Mangum, Moore, Poindexter, Porter, Silsbee, Smith, Southard, Sprague, Tomlinson, Waggaman, Webster.-19. So the resolution was agreed to.

A resolution presented by Mr. MOORE a few days ago, and ordered to be laid on the table, was then taken up. Mr. M. said it would be recollected that, at the commencement of the session, he called for information from the War Department, in relation to the disposition of the funds for the removal of the Indians. This call had proved to be of too extensive a nature to be executed this session. A portion of the information called for had, however, been procured; and the object of the present resolution was to have that portion printed, during the recess, for the benefit of the public; and in order that it might be ready for Congress at their next sitting. The resolution was agreed to.

Mr. BENTON submitted a resolution that the resolu tion of the Senate of Tuesday, the 20th of March last, that the President of the United States, in ordering the removal of the deposites from the Bank of the United States, had assigned a power not granted by the law or the constitution, but in derogation of them both, is a resolution imputing impeachable matter to the President, and ought not to be passed except in the regular form of con stitutional impeachment, and ought to be struck out of the Journals.

Mr. CLAY said, it ought to be remembered the time and circumstances under which that resolution was offer. ed, when the Senate was within a few hours of its adjournment, and when one-third of the members had already left town. He looked upon it as an improper time

to introduce a resolution of that nature.

The motion was opposed by Messrs. CLAY, CALHOUN, and WEBSTER; and on the question being taken by yeas and nays, negatived-yeas 11, nays 20.

Mr. CLAY observed, that the bill was dead after the adjournment, and that the bill for the improvement of the Hudson river went along with it.
