Your link said it was passed by the House. I didn't see any mention in there about the Senate passing it too. One might assume they did, but it is not yet a fact in evidence.

Passed the Senate on the same day and is included in the list of List of Act and Resolutions passed by that session of Congress: Link

But was it reinstated? I see there was another tariff law passed in 1832. Some version of the Jones act has always been in place, and if this repeal did in fact eliminate the tonnage duties on imports, (which i'm not completely clear that it did) was it the last word on the subject?

Probably not, but I will have to dig around and see if another version pops up at a later time.
