Friday, April 24.
Recess of Congress.
Mr. Bradley, from the joint committee of the two Houses appointed on the subject of a recess, reported the business that demands the immediate attention of Congress, and the following resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, during the present session of Congress, the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, on the 29th day of April instant, adjourn their respective Houses to Monday, the 18th day of May next, then to meet at the same place in which the two Houses are now sitting.
On motion, by Mr. Bradley, the resolution was twice read by unanimous consent; and, on motion by Mr. Pope, amended, by striking out the words "eighteenth day of May next."
On the question, Shall this resolution be engrossed, and read a third time as amended, it was determined in the affirmative—yeas 18, nays 13.
Saturday, April 25.
Recess of Congress.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution for a recess of Congress from the 29th inst. to the —— day of —— next.
Mr. Pope moved to fill the blank with the 4th Monday in June. The most distant day would probably accommodate the greatest number of members; and this day would be sufficiently early to take measures necessary on the expiration of the embargo.
