Mr. Fulton, from the joint committee appointed to wait on the President of the United States, and notify him that, unless he may have other communications to make to Congress, the two Houses are ready to close the present session of Congress by an adjournment, reported that the committee had waited upon the President, and received for answer that he had no further communications to make to Congress. Mr. Fulton, also, reported that the committee had been requested by the President to inform the two Houses that he had approved and signed every bill which had been presented to him, except the bill which ori ginated in the Senate entitled "An act to improve the navigation of the Wabash river;" and that, in relation to that bill, the President delivered to the committee a written paper, with a request that it might be communicated to the two Houses. The said paper was then read by the Clerk, and is as follows: "The bill entitled 'An act to improve the navigation of the Wabash river,' has been presented to me at so late a period of the session, with so many others that call for immedate action, that I have not been able to give to it the full consideration which its importance merits. I have strong doubts whether I can approve this bill, consistently with the opiniots I entertain as to the powers of this Government over subjects of this description. But my respect for the decision of the two Houses of Congress, and for the large body of my fellowcitizens who are interested in this improvement, induces me to hold the bill for the present, that I may, during the period allowed to me by the constitution for that purpose, give to it the most careful and deliberate consideration. "WASHINGTON, June 30, 1834." A message from the Senate, by Mr. Lowrie, their Secretary: Mr. Speaker: The Senate have completed the legislative business before it, and are ready to close the present session of Congress by an adjournment. And then he withdrew. Ordered, That a message be sent to the Senate to notify that body that this House have completed the business before it, and are now ready to close the present session of Congress by an adjournment; and that the Clerk do go with said message. The Clerk having delivered said message, and being returned, The Speaker, on motion, closed the session of Congress by adjourning the House until the first Monday in December next, the day appointed by the constitution for the annual meeting of Congress.
