Monday, November 17.

The Senate assembled: present as on Friday.

The number assembled not being sufficient to form a quorum, the Vice President was requested by the Senators present, to write a letter to each of the absent Senators, stating that a fortnight has already elapsed without the formation of a Senate, and urging their immediate attendance as necessary to enable Congress to commence the business of the session.

The Senate adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning.
