Senate debates on pre emption and navy funding bill
The Senate discussed a prospective pre emption system for settlers on public lands and debated adding a provision to direct 65 percent of land sale proceeds to navy and defense. The chamber passed the bill after amendments and votes. A Treasury Note bill amendment about total note issuance was approved, while a bankrupt law debate continued in the House. Correspondence from the Express notes intense exchanges between John Quincy Adams and Henry Wise during the stormy debate.

Banks suspend coin payments amid market panic in Philadelphia
The Pennsylvania Bank of the United States halted coin payments on the 4th, followed by other Philadelphia banks the next day. U S Bank and others reportedly paid coin on some notes up to the latest dates. In New York, U S Bank stock opened at 34 cents on the dollar and fell to 25 as fears spread. Banks in Harrisburg aimed to continue specie payments, while Baltimore banks suspended after losses. The Philadelphia U S Gazette notes unsettled fiscal affairs and a shrinking circulating medium as deposits rise and notes are redeemed. Delegates from banks met to pursue a cautious policy to hasten eventual specie resumption.
