February 32. Th mtsiage and treaties were re ferred to the committee of Ways and Means. Several bills were rei'd dicom- mitted. from the National Iqtelligencer. ALL THE; POTS- The war which has been just closed by the Treaty of Ghent, was, entered upon, chiefly, for four objects l.To put an end to the unretaliat- cd spoliations of our Commerce.

2. To resist thj Orders' in teuncil. 3. To oppose the practice of Impressment. 4 To vindicate the Honor of the Nation.

In all these objects the United btate9 have succeeded. First As to unretaliated spolia tions of Commerce. They ceased by the declaration of war and the; cap tures from the British, by American public and private armed ships, a mount to about fourteen hundred, a number far exceeding that taken from the United States by the cruizers Great Brjtain during the 6ame period Nor did our, citizens suffer, in tha respect, by a change to a state of war from the condition of things that immediately preceded hostilities be cause prior to the war, a American ships and merchandize were univer sally captured by the British, without reprisal whereas the declaration of war, by authorising reprisals, diminished our loss by arming tTur trade. and produced a profit by means of: privateering, ucuwwij xa jraers in Council. They wetc revoked before the news of the declaration of war reached England but not before the tone of die American Executive and the proceedings of Congress induat- cu uuauuues on -tne part otthe nited States.

Before the Conires aional measures bore a decidedly beU ngerent. aspect, the British irovew ment had uniformly declined re peal the orders.

Tee late war, although reluctantly declared py Coogrest, had become a necetiary rer sort, to aaaert theifighU and independence of the nation.

The reduction of the public expenditurea to the demand of a peace eatablialirnent will, doubtless, engage theimmedtateattrntion of Congreaa There are, however, important conaidrations which forbid-a sudden and general revocation of the measures tha have been produced by the war.

Experience haa taught that? neither the pacific diip-ui-tions of the American people, nor the pacific character cf their political institutions, can altogether exempt them From that atrife which appea beyand the ordinary lot of nations, to be incident to the a tual period of the world 1 and the me faithful monitor demonstrates that a certain degpree of preparation for wir, ia not only indispensable to avert disaater in the onset, but affords also the st security tor the continuance of peace. The w.sdom of Congress will, there-tore, am confident, proride for the maintenance of an adequate regular force for the gradual advance of the naval establishment fur improving all the means of oarbor defence 4 for adding diseip'ine to the distin guished bravery ot the militia, and for eulti. vauugthe military art, in ita essential bran chea under the. liberal patronage of govern, menu fhe resources of our country were, at all tiroes, competent to the attainment of evary national object but they will now be enrich ed invigorated by the activity which will introduce into all the acenes of domestic entcprixe aid labor The provi siou that haa been made for the public ere-ditora, during the preaent Session of gress, must Lave a decisive etlect in the es tablishment of the public ere it, both at home and aoroad.

THE VICTOBY AT ORLEANS. An unfortunitte disagreement hav ing arisen between the two houses as to the termt of the resolution bestow ing think on Gen.Jackson,a message was received from the Senate announcing its adhtrence to its disagreement to the amendment proposed bv the house thereto. This left to the House the alternative only, it was beiieved, to adhere to or recede from its amend ments. Mr.

Troup proposed to adhere in which coarse he was supported by Mr Robertson, Mr. Rhea and Mr. Humphreys on the other hand, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Wright and Mr.

Ma-con werej desirous of receding, if a conference could not be agreed on. The point of difference is, that th House proposes to ascribe the merit of the great achievements on the banks of the Mississippi, principally to the militia volunteer force whilst the Senate has given the merit generally to the regulars, volunteers and militia, in language admitting the in fcrence, it is contended, that our force was principally a regular force. In the end, the house determined, before a final decision to request a conference with the Senate on the subject. Mr, Eppes, from the committee oi Ways and Means, made a report re commending an agreement to the a mendments of the Senate to theTrea sury, Note Bill. The bill, as it went from this house provided that those Treasury Note to be issued bearing no De fundable at eight per cent, and those bearing interest at even per cent.

1 he bcoatr propose' to amend the bill, so as that the notes bearing no interest shall be fundable at teven per cent, and those beariopr interest shall be fundable at six per cent. A- greed. The amendments from the Senate to the bill amendatory ot the direct rax nnd furniture tax bill, were before the House, and "partly agreed and pat tly disagreed to. Among the a- menaments, one repealing the section allowing annual assumption by the laico ot weir respective quotas or tne direct tax, and allowing a deduction of 15 par cent, on the amount so as sumcd' X'h committee of Ways Means recommended a disagreement ua wis ameuument it was otssgreed to.
