NO. 186. waa soon at his disposal. Their united efforts | were unavailing. After lingering till eleven i o'clock on Taeeday night, the great statesman expired, in the 83d year of his age. The event eauxed a great sensation in England i and France. The English papers are filled, almost to the exclusion of everything else, with extended no'ioesof the life and character of the late Premier, and with speculations as to the effect his death will have upon the politics of bis country. In reply to an offer by Lord John Russell, in the name of her Majesty and the nation, of a public funeral, the family declined the honor, inasmuch as it was Sir Robert's last wish that he should be buried in Drayton Abbey, with as little parade as possible. in the House of Lords on Monday night, the Ministry suffered another defeat, by a majority of twenty-two, on the Irish Franchise bill. The proposal of the Government was, that the franchise should he regulated by an ?8 qualification, and Lord Stanley proposed an amendment that the qualification be ?1.1 instead. The amend' ' -? nV-.

To ih' Editor of the National Era: The debates in the Assembly have been quite uninteresting for a week past. Two or three trifling checks to the Ministry on the usury law, snd one much more important on the Mayors' bill. The Assembly refused, by a large majority, to put thi9 bill on the order of the day for Thursday. As this is a clear intimation of its intended rejection, the Ministry will probably withdraw it until a more favorable season. The bill against the press will be up for discussion in a few days. A tax of a cent and one-fifth is proposed to be levied on each number of the papers published in Paris. The prooaoi^/cwa^Pfiat the bill will pass. The #e.'den death of Sir Robot* Peel, ay J the late balloon ascent of Messrs. Bixio and Barrol, are the chief topics of conversation in Paris. After these come the failure in the attempts to unite the two branches of the bouse of Bourbon. the dinner given to M. Qirardin by the workmen of L' Presse. the quarrels of the Legitimists among themselves, the intention of the President to finish the Cue Ouvrit re, or laborers' lodging-house, out of his own funds, the duel of Meesrs. Valentin and Clary, two members of the Assembly, and the acquittal of a democratic paper, by the Paris jury All these details are uninteresting, and 1 will dismiss them here, in order to take up the news from the other parts of the European continent. ? ERMANY. The affairs of this muoh-divided oountry are as complicated as ever, snd as much in the dark. An occasional ray of light thrown on some parts, serves to show the tangled and intricate state of the whole. The interminable affair of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein is as far from a solution as ever. Denmark has sent in her ultima) um to Prussia, but no answer has been received. Six months ago, I indioated to you the probability that Prussia would finally abandon the cause of the Duchies, and leave them to struggle alone against Denmark. This is as probable now as then, and the delay interposed by the Prussian diplomatists seems to have no other cause than to avoid the appearance of abandoning allies, and also to avoid offending the publie sentiment of the free cities of North Germany, which sustain with enthusiasm the cause of the Duchies. These cities once safe in the Prussian League, and the Duchies will be left to their fate. The lite communications of the Danish Cabinet to the Land's)hi*g, or National Assembly, on this subject, show that England and Russia are both on the side of Denmark. The peace of Europe is not likely to be disturbed by the question of c~i.I11 _ _;_i i_r tJUUironi^Miuioiviu. u muj vuc nisuro tU iUIuriU himself on a question which has many interesting features, he will find a good pamphlet on it, written by our late fellow-citizen, Mr. Wheaton. The negotiations between Austria and Prussia have beeu broken off and resumed a second time. This play between the two Powers is becoming ridiculous?they having quarrelled and made friends at leAst a dozen times during the last two years. The object of this seems to be to force the different German States to take part with one or the other, and thus further what is doubtless their great plan, the entire supremacy of these two States in Germany. The secession of the two Ilesscs from the Prussian League seems to be now definitive. M. Janp) the last Ilessian minister favorable to Prussia, has just given in his resignation; while M. Haasenpfug, lately condemned in Prussia for cmbeszlement of funds and counterfeiting, remains minister in Hesse Darmstadt, and Plenipotentiary of Hesse at the Frankfort Congress. This Congress is doing nbsolntely nothing The Constituent Assembly of Wurtemberg reassembled on the 27th ult. Its first act was to order the impeachment of M. Wachter Spittla, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for high treason. The vote stood 50 for, and 11 against. His crime is having conspired with Austria to bring back Germany to the Constitution of 1815. The Pies ident of the Assembly was charged with the execution of the order of the Assembly. This set is one aimed at the King himself, who is quite as guilty as his minister. He has sent thalatter to Paris as Minister Plenipotentiary of Wurtemberg, until the storm blow over. The day after the above vote, the Cabinet demanded a law, authorising the collection of taxes for four months, but the Assembly refused this by a unanimous vote, and authorised it for two months only. The Cabinet of the King of Hanover resigned on the 27th ult., for reasons not know^ SPAIN, A note inserted in El Eraldo, a Madrid paper, in the number of the 23th nit, contradicts the report of the disturbance of the usual friendly relations between Spain and the United States. PORTUGAL. Two American frigates are said to have entered the Tagus ou the 19th nit. The Portuguese papers suppose that their intention may be to support by an imposing force the pecuniary demands of the United States on Pertngtl. ITALY. The Pope has been celebrating the anniversary of his elevation to the Papacy. A great number of email coins were distributed emong the poor, and a great many medals and crosses of honor conferred on the eoldiera. Each man of the 8wiss guard received a medal, on whieh was engraved the word u F\JelituliV The faneral of the soldiers who fell in attacking Rome, was celebrated i?n tnaMM-fl and processions of priests While he capital is employed in festivities and ceremonies, the pewflnees of the Roman States are In If teat disorder.

The constitution of Naples has been entirely abolished by the King, and he to new u noon trolled in hie despot lam. In the prolenged obaenes ef the Grand Dnke of Tnsosny at Vienna, a etrong party hen boon flsrm d against him and the Aaetrian influence. The Ministers, sustained by the A eat ri en troops whi eh ^ I garrison the Duchy, view with alarm the increase of their opponent*. Three ere euoouraged by the Piedmonteee ambassador. Their two organs in the preee are Jl Sfatuto and Comtituzio-ah, the ablest papers at Plorenoe. The course of the latter paper has been so aggressive that the Minister ordered, two weeks ago, the editor, M Aguarove, to leave Tuscany in three days. The Piedmontese ambassador protested against this violence. The Grand Duke has sent for his Prime Minister to join him at Vienna. The pretext for this is a consultation with the Austrian Government on the sobjeet of a railroad system for Italy. The recent acts of Piedmont show that the Cabinet of King Emmanuel are trying to conciliate the democratic party of Italy. Their internal and external policy is marked with a certain liberality which differs widely from their acts of last year The Anstyan governor of Venice has just published a proclamation, for the purpose, as he says, of granting the liberty of the press to the people. Everybody is to be at liberty to publish a journal, and the oensnre is abolished. The only check the governor retains on the press is the right to suspend one of them immediately, for any attack on the Austrian Government, army, officers, administration, or for any political article whatever of bad tendency. The suspension of the paper to be accompanied by the imprisonment of the editor ami publisher. But. the governor adds, as there are many articles which do not directly attack the Government, but are of bad tendency, he reserves for such cases the right of admonishing the offender. The admonition is to oonsist of a temporary suspension of the press, a fins, or imprisonment, or all three of them to Venetians are not satisfied with the liberty of the prees, verily, they are hard to please. In speaking of Naples. I forgot to mention the demand made by the Count of Montemolin, the pretender to the throne of Spain, of the hfnd of Carlotta, sister of the King of Naples. The King agreed, bat the ambassador of Spain protested, and the match has been broken off. RUSSIA. The celebrated painter, Horace Vernet, haa been on a visit to 8t. Petersburg, for the purpose of painting something for the Ctar. On taking leave of him, the Caar made him a preaeat at one hundred thousand dollars, with which M. Vernet has returned to Paris, quite satisfied wiih his trip. The Grand Duohess of Russia has had made at Paris a magnificent service of silver plate. The value is stated in one of the Paris papers at one hundred thousand pounds sterling. The good days of royalty are evidently not over yet in Russia. . FOREIGN POLICY OF FRANCE. The policy of Louis Bonaparte, for some time past, has been to separate himself as much as possible from the more liberal courts of Europe, and to ally himself more closely with Russia and Austria. In pursuance of this policy, the late onslaught was made on the English Ministry with the intention to overthrow it, and secure a Tory Ministry in its stead. t In this matter, as in the affairs of Germany, the Administration party in France begins to see it has miuie an error, ana was working for the Czar rather than for the influence of their own country. A Tory ministry in England would be the ascendency of the Russian influence, and not the French; and recent events in Germany show that while France has been inactive, the Czar has contrived to render himself almost a dictator in the affairs of that country. The Journal des D'.txvs raises the cry of alarm, and points out the dangers of the further increase of Russian influence in the west of Europe. ALGIERS. The jealousies existing between the civil and military governor of the province of Oran has come to a singular dmoutnwii/. 1 mentioned in my last a conspiracy said to have been discovered at Oran, and the arrest of a great many persons. It turns out to be nothing but a charge made by General Pelissier against the Prefect, of favoring liberal opinions The Prefect has been dismissed by the Minister, and a good number of civil functionaries arrested, but the whole affair will end in smoke. W. FROM CALIFORNIA. There has been another dreadful oontiagration at San Francisoo, which is reported to have destroyed three hundred houses, valued, with other property lost, at five millions of dollars. The fire happened on the 14th of June. Business at San Francisoo was dull, and the same state of things extended to the surrounding oountry. In the mining regions, the water continued too high to allow of successful operations, and inactivity was the oonsequenoe. It is stated, however, that many new mines have been opened, and that great suaoeee was expected when the minora should again get to work. TEXAS AIND NEW MEXICO. A despatch from New Orleans, dated the 15th instant, says that there is much excitement in Texas in relation to New Mexico. Meetings have been held at San Antonio and on the battlefield of San Jacinto, at which resolutions were passed denouncing the General Government, and requiring the Governor of Texas to proclaim Santa Fe in a state of insurrection, &c. An extra session of the Legislature of Texas has been called, to meet on the 12th of August. MR. HUE AND MR. WEBSTER. Mr. Hale last week in the Senate rather disconcerted Mr. Webster by one of those pointed hits for whieh he is famous. Mr. Webster in his elaborate speech had ridiculed the incongruities of the opposition to the Compromise bill. Mr. Hale admitted that the picture was amusing, but it had two sides, though Mr. Webster had shown only one. "Sir, I disclaim speaking of the Senate, or of any particular Senator; but I will call the attention of the Senate to what I have seen. I have seen a meeting of the friends of this bill?not in the Senate, of course?ami that it may not be supposed that I speak of individuals, I will designate the individuals whom I mean by thenamesof States, and that cannot offend anybody, because there are a great many people in every State. Well, sir, 1 have seen a meeting of the friends of this bill, and that not very long sgo. I went into this meeting, sir ; snd the first thing I saw were two honorable gentlemen?honorable for their years, honorable for their talents, honorable for the high rank which they sustain in the count ry? I saw th< se two honorable gentlemen sitting' cheek by jowl,' arm in arm, affectionately consulting each other, and 1 will designate these two old ?e\t MiAiipan ami K nn. gcubicuicu UJ HI*7 unuivB w? i<(ivu<A-u ? ??VH tucky, (laughter]?not meaning anything personal, because I nee the names of the States as an indication of their aentimants. Well, sir, It was a happy sight, and augured well for the perpetuity of the Union, and for the continued exercise of thoae fraternal feelings which we are ali so anxious to see restored Sir, it did my heart good [A laugh ] Next to them I saw two other gentlemen, who appeared to hare become recently acquainted?gentlemen of high reputation, of commanding influence in the country. These geatlemen I will designate by the names of Mississippi and Massachusetts. They were taking sweet counsel together, proceeding to the same end, but ooming to it by different stepe. One, sir, wss a fiery yonth, [laughter.] and he denounced the Wilmot Proviso as 1 infamous,' snd ss 1 a thing that ought to be buried' and,' says he, ' this bill is the thing that does it; and therefore I am in favor of it.* 8ays the other gentleman, with a qniet and anbdued manner, 1 It is rather hard, Mississippi; for a few years ago I felt a solicitude for thin very measure which you are denouncing It is hard for me to hear you denounce it in this way. Had ws not better turn it over to the laws of God and physical geography V Agreed,' says Mississippi,1 and we will go together and support the bill.' Well, sir, I saw other gentlemen whom I bad never seen before. " Mr. Foots. Will the gentlemen allow me to ssk him a single question 7 | Laughter | " Mr. Hale. Certainly, if only a question. u Mr. Foots. Only for a question; and a very short one, too?one, perhaps, which he will conmiA?m m uiiaKuSnrr one to answer. I would like to know whether he saw any disunioniste or abolitionists at the meeting be describee 7 "Mr. Hele. I cannot my as to that; for it wee agreed at the time that they wonJd pot everything into the hack ground that did not relate to the passing of the bill; and therefore ail those questions which did not directly relate to the passage of the bill were studiously kept very far in the back ground. The honorable Seoator from Mississippi (Mr. Foote) seems to think I was speaking of an actual meeting, and of individual things, whereas I was only speaking of claseea This, sir, is a mere imaginary meeting, and I suppose the Senator from Mississippi might imagine I referred to him. 8ir, I understand the rules of deoorum and debate better than to be thus personal. I did not meaa anything of the sort. " Well air, I saw two old gentlemen there that I don't think over met together in a meeting before, oonsalting together, and all agreeing to support the Mil. The names of these two old gentlemen? and there were n considerable number of the fsmilr there besides?their names were tnlled 1 Whig and Democrat.' Yea. sir, they were both there, [laughter ;J and thay agread to iaj all their differences aside, and to support this bUl And, air, had there been n painter there, poaneesing the graphic powers of delineation of the Senator from MssasnhnsotU who has just tnksn his sent, he THE NATIONAL ER would have drawn a picture which, compared with the one he hes presented tone, would hare made it appear faint and feeble indeed. " 8ir, 1 hare aeen all thii within these last few days?not in this chamber, of course;-but it is a fact, nevertheless; and while such incongruities ; come together to support this bill, I must saj, ' that, to my unsophisticated, taste, it is rather in bad taste, for those who composed this meeting to find fault with the ' incongruities' in opposition to this bill So far as I am concerned. I will agree to go square upon the matter, and we won't twit on either side. I leave that part of the subject." j CONGRESS. THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION, j a EM ATE. Tuesday, July 16, 1850. Mr. Jones presented the resolutions of a Democratic State Convention in Iowa, in which the plan of adjustment reported by the Committee of Thirteen was approved. Mr. J. expressed himself strongly opposed to the Wilmot Proviso. Mr. Seward presented the proceedings of a public meeting held in the State of New York in opposition to the bill. Mr. Hale presented a petition from colored in: habitants of Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, setI ting forth that they have no record evidence of their freedom, and praying that all provision in the act of 1793 relative to the rendition of alleged i fugitives from labor be repealed. Ac. Laid Mr. Upham presented the resolutions of the | Legislature of the State of Vermont, urging that slavery in the District of Columbia may be abolished, and the provisions of the Ordinance of '87 | be applied to all Governments made for the Ter; ritories. Received and laid on the table. Mr. Davis of Massachusetts introduced a bill amendatory of the acts heretofore passed for the . safety of passengers on board of steamers. The Senate then resumed the consideration of | the bill reported by the select Committee of Thir! tur tn ii.lmit tk. it nw.t, o. . ; State; providing Territorial Governments for ! Utah and New Mexico; and making proposals to Texas for the settlement of her western and i northern boundaries The question pending was on the following amendment proposed by Mr Benton to that part of section thirty-nine containing the proposed boundaries of Texas: Strike out of proposition first, of section thirtynine, after the word " Beginning," these words: 'at the point on the Rio del Norte commonly called El Paso, and running up that river twenty miles, measured by a straight line thereon, and thence eastwardly to a point where the hund(Tilth degree of west longitude crosses Red river, being the southwest angle on the line designated , bagmen the United States and Mexioo, and the same angle on the line of the territory set apart I to the Indi tns by the United Statesand insert bftrrfta Beginning " thww<W\I? at the point intfae middle of the deepest channel in the Rio Grande del Norte, where the same is crossed by the one hundred and second degree of longitude west from the meridian of Greenwich ; thence north along that longitude to the thirtyfourth degree of north latitude, thence eastwardly to the point at which the one-hundredth degree of west longitude crosses the Red river." Mr. Rusk then proceeded, in a speech of more than an hour, in maintenance of the right of Texas to the whole territory east of the Rio Grande. Mr. Clay said that he desired to make a few observations in reply to what had been said yesterday by the Senator who had introduced the amendment The Senator was reported in the morning papers with having said that "the bill is caught flagrante delicto?taken in the fact, soiled by the throat and held up to public view?In the very act of perpetrating its crime, in the very act of auctioneerwg tor votes to pass itself." The reporter says that " Mr. B. here grappled a bill and held it up to view.7' With regard to the sort of boa-constrictor struggle between the Senator and the bill, he had nothing to say. Rut he desired to know who was "auctioneering for votes for the bill." Who'did the 8enator mean was auctioneering for votes in the Senate? Was it the bill itself, or was it. the members of the oommittee? He did not think that language, carrying with it such an imputation, was admissible in the Senate. If the Senator from Missouri meant to say that that part of the bill was inserted by the oommittee for the purpose of auctioneering votes in favor of it, he repelled it as an unfounded imputation. Mr. Benton. The Senator said that he had used language yesterday which was unfit to he used here. He would repeat the language, and let it be tested. He had said that this bill was oanght In the act of crime, and it was said that such language was unfit U> be used. Shall acts be done here deserving such language, and no voice be heard to hold them up to the judgment of the country? The Senator had avoided the main point?the nerve which had been touched. He would repeat what he had said, to iw if the Senator could be brought up to touch it. When speaking yesterday of the coy and bashful blank in the bill, he had used this language: " When we oome to the filling up of that mysterious blank, so carefhlly guarded, I may be able to demonstrate that the effect of this conglomeration of bills, and that reservation of a blank, to be filled at the last moment, is to open an auotion upon the floor of the Senate for the votes which are to carry through the omnibus bill, with all its multifarous and heterogeneous contents. The filling of the blank may develop the fact that the admission of California, and the establishment of Governmenta for two Territories, may depend upon the amount of money to be paid to Texas; and, if it does, it will present the highest evidence of the J flagrant enormity of tacking incongruous hills together which the history of American or British legislation has ever exhibited." The Senator had carefully left this out when reading from his speech. He had then continued thus: "The bill is caught flagranti delicto? taken in the fact? seized by the throat, and held up to public view? in the very act of perpetrating its crime?in the very act of auctioneering for votes to pass itself. I seise it in the act, and hold it up to public opprobrium, and make it an era to be recurred to, and its fate to stand as a warning against all future conjunctions of inoongruous measures " This whs what he had said, and which the Senator had avoided. He repeated it now. The language was parliamentary. He hod nothing to any or to do with the members of the committee. He had nothing to do with their respectability. Gentlemen were not to come into the Senate and draw themselves up to six feet In height, and rely on the respectability of any committee He was dealing with the measure before them. He had nothing to do with them; it was the bill he attacked, and this he had a right to do He had denounced the measure. He repeated now what he had said then ; and if it was desired to take issue with him upon the fitness of the language, let the Senator ctll him to order Mr. Clay said that he called the Senator to order. Mr. Renton. Put the words in writing, and I will sign them Mr Clay asid that he would reduce to writing the worda for which he called the Senator to order. He sent to the Chair the following words, used yesterday rdu to-day ny me nenaior irom Missouri: " The hill iscaughtflagianti delicto? taken in the fact?seized by the throat, and held up to public view?in the very act of perpetrating its crime, in the eery act of auctioneering for votee to pass itself." Mr. Benton said that he demanded that the sentences immediately preceding, and subeequent to the words thus written down, should be added. And it was done. The words then were those given In the whole of the above extracts The Presiding OflBoer read the words to the Senate, and was understood to say, that if it were the intention of the Senator from Missouri to make sny imputation upon the ooeduot of the members of the committee, then his language was decidedly out of order. If not, and the language was intended to apply only to the bill, then it was not out of order. Mr. Benton said that his language was explicit. It spoke of the bill. Fie hsd nothing to do with the ooinmittee He had denounced the measure, and had attacked it for its oonseqoenees. He knew what words he used, and knew them not to he out of order. He knew the rules of the Senate and the laws of decorum, and had oarefully guarded gainst a violation of them. He had a right to speak of a bill and to denounos It. He had spoken of this bill, and of the effect of it on other measures included most unjustly in it. After some further debits, the Senate adjourned WirwcapAT, Jwi.T 17, lfe6<). The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill reported by the select Committee of Thirteen The queetion pending was on the amendment' proposed by Mr. Benton. Mr. Webeter addreesed the 8enate at length in support of ths bill, and in favor of harmony and conciliation lis was followed by Mr. Hals in a humorous reply to a single mink In his snsssh. The question being taken on Mr. Benton's amendment, It was loetlzy the following est# : Yeas?Meesre Baldwin, Benton, Chant, Clarke, Corwin, Davis of Massachusetts, Dayton, Dodge f Wisconsin. Orsene, Hals, Hamlin, Millar. Phelps, Seward, Smith, Upturn, Wales, sad Walker?lb. Nars?Maaan Atchison, Badger, Barnwell, A, WASHINGTON, I Berrien, Bradbury, Bright, Butler, Cm?.

Also amend the seventh section, by adding thereto a proviso making provision for a territory in the southern part of the State of California, with her conaent. The subject was then postponed till to-morrow. Thursday, July 18, 18a0. The resolution to admit the editors of the Southern Press to the floor of the Senate coming UP, Mr. Hale moved to amend, by adding the words, " and the editor of the National Era." Mr. Ynlee saw no necessity for the amendment of Mr. Hale, as the Era was a weekly paper, and the Press a daily. A weekly paper could make ud its reports from the dailies Mr. Atchison thought that the privilege of the floor ought to be restricted to those printers who were officially authorised by the Senate; and on his motion, the subject was laid upon the table. The report of the Committee of Thirteen was taken up, the question being on the amendments offered by Mr. Foots. Mr. Hunter addressed /a. o?>. .1 ?? -1 i. .? ? <-<?-> ? the bourse of his remarks he was caVieu to order by Mr. Foote for extfeasua*, A-tm bill relating to fugitives from service, which was not under consideration. The point of order was sustained by the Chair, and Mr. Hunter was obliged to confine himself to the bill before the Senate. Mr. Foote followed in reply, particularly to the remarks of Mr. H. on the subject of nonintervention, reading extracts from Mr. Calhoun's speeches to show that the doctrine of non-intervention as embodied in this bill was the doctrine taught by that illustrious man. He also alluded to the Nashville Convention and He Address, and commented upon it. Hs defended the object for which that Convention was called He defended the proceedings which took place in Mississippi leading to that Convention. He contended that the President of that Convention, and the people of the State of Mississippi, were as much devoted to the Union as any other portion of the people of the United States, and that they would remain firm and devoted to that Union, regardless of the attempts and invitations held out to them to become disunionists. Mr. Davis of Mississippi asked his colleague if anv invitation of the kiad had ever been held out to the people of Mississippi. Mr. Foote replied that there hsd been. He then referred to the proceedings of public meetioeu lv%ld Cw^^na on the 4th o7 JoV hut, in which the spirit of disunion was most apparent, and at almost every meeting Mississippi " m alJudrd'hvM the gallant, worthy Staie wfcinh had moved first, and which was to act with South Carolina in the objects of disunion He also referred to the speeches of Mr. Rhett?an open and avowed candidate for a seat in the Senate?delivered in the Nashville Convention, and since then in South Carolina, in which the treasonable doctrine of secession and disunion was traitorously spoken. He then referred to various other persons, whose speeches in the Convention and elsewhere breathed the spirit of disunion. Mr. Foote explained that his amendment would secure 30,000 square miles to Texas of New Mexican territory, in addition to the 70 000 square miles proposed to be given by the bill. The question was then taken on the final amendment, which was lost, by the following vote: Ykas?Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Barnwell, Berrien, Butler, Clemens, Dawson, Downs, Foote, Houston, Hunter, King, Mason, Morton, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Soul6, Turney, Yulee?W0.

Miller, Norria, Pearce, Phelne. Seward. Shields. Smith. Snruanoe. Stur geon, Underwood, Uph&m, Wales, Walker, Webster, Whitoomb?-34. Mr. King of Alabama moved to strike out all of the aeoond amendment after the word " proTided," and insert? u The boundary of the State shall be as follows Commencing on the Pacific at the degree of north latitude; thence with the southern boundary line of the Territory of Oregon to the summit of the Sierra Nevada, then along the crest of that mountain to a point where it intersects the parallel at ktltade 9C, thence with said parallel to the Pacifio ocean." The Han ate adjourned Friday, July 19, 1850. The subject was again resumed. Mr. King of Alabama stated his views on the report of the Committee of Thirteen. He was in favor of the bill relating to fugitive slaves, and the bill for abolishing the slave trade in the District. The provisions for giving Territorial Governments to Utah and New Mexioo embraced the Non-intervention dootrine, and he could vote for them, believing as he did that the Mexican laws excluding slavery no longer existed. He was in favor too of settling the Texan boundary as proposed in the bill, for the territory purchased of Texas would still remain slave territory. He was opposed to the admission of California with her present extravagant boundaries, and unless his amendment were adopted, he could not vote for the bill. Mr. Foots withdrew his amendment, and Mr. King moved his own, as a substitute proposition. Mr. Berrien made a speech in favor of it, and was followed by Mr. Clay, who with greit strength opposed projects of cutting down the boundaries of California. To admit her as she was he deemed indispensable to the success of the Compromise, of the fate of which, however, he seemed to doubt. After oonsiderable discussion ^between Messrs. Berrien, Butler, Clay, and Foofe, Mr. Hale rose, and said that he had withdrawn his motion to lay the bill on the table, to allow its friends to present amendments, which it was understood were to be voted on without discussion. But, there had been nothing but discussion ever sinoe. lie should feel bound to renew his motion, and insist upon it, unless the Senate would put an end to this eternal talk, and come to voting at once. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, moved to amend the amendment by striking out " thirty-five" and inserting "thirty-six," so that it would read by the line of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes After some remarks by Messrs King and Davis, the question was taken, and the amendment to the amendment waa rejected by the following vote Y*>, %?Messrs.

The subject was then postponed till Monday. During Mr. Pearoe's remarks, a message was reeeived from the President of the Unitod States, of an exeoutive character After the postpone^ meat of the resolution, Mr. Clay moved, and the Senate proceeded to the consideration of Executive business, and, at a quarter before three o'clock, adjourned. Monday, July 22, 1830. Mr. Douglas gave notice of his intention to offer an amendment to the rules, se as to introduce the previous question in the Senate. ). G, JULY 25, 1850. The consideration of the report of the Commit! toe of Thirteen wag resumed when Mr. Foote submitted an amendment restricting the limits of California by the line of 3-> deg. 30 min., and proTiding for a Territorial Government south of that line. Mr. Clay then addressed the Senate for more than three hours in support of the measures recommended by the committee, replying to the va! rious attacks made upon them In conclusion, he SAid that the fate of the bill was not certain. It l depended on some four or six Senators, whose position had not been positively known. With them he left it to be decided. If it were defeated, it would be a triumph of Free-Soilism and AboliI tionism , a triumph of extremists; and he fervently prayed that it might not result in evil consequences to the Union Mr. Barnwell replied to that portion of Mr C.'s remarks commenting upon a speech lately delivered in Charleston. If the individual alluded I to?who was known in the Senate and in the House?believes the Wilroot Proviso to be an aggression upon the constitutional rights of the | South, which should be resisted . and if he be1 lieved that the admission of California would be a virtual enactment by Congress of that Proviso, : because the prohibition of slavery by California will be dead and defeated unless it receive# vital- i : ity from Congress?then he was not alone in saying. as several States had said, that it should be | resisted. He said that the term disuniooist was becoming I one which would not be the highest opprobrium. The term "rebel" bad been applied in the times of the Revolution, when libertv was baptised in v. ... rw ? uLZZvt Hill,*.nd illustrated by the bravery of Jasper at Fort Moultrie, j Mr. Clay said that he knew Mr. Rbett. the individual alluded to, and had some respect for him. But if he had used the expression attributed to him, that he would unfurl the banner of disunion against the General Government, and intended to follow up that declarat ion by any act, then he was a traitor, and he hoped he would meet the fate of a traitor.

He maintained that they had, and that many of them were now liviug tombstones of their own fate. Mr. Clay replied, citing the names of some half dozen of them, to show that the Senator was mistaken as to the political fate of those at the North who had voted for the bill. After adverting at length to this, he said that even if one had been ao atricken down, he would write upon hia tomb this epitaph : "Here lies a noble patriot, who loved his oountry better than himself'?an epitaph he feared he could never write upon the Senator from New Hampshire. Mr. Hale doubted whether the vocation of the Senator was to write epitaphs. He repeated hia convictions that what he had said as to their fate iv write ?b f taph on such a man, he would say, " Here lies a man who sacrifice'1 hie ^fistituea'a foe ac The Senate adjourned HOIiSK OK R EHR KSK&TATIVITM. Tuesday, July 16, 1850. Mr Strong offered a resolution that all debate on the resolution reported by the Committee on Elections, declaring "that it is inexpedient to admit Hugh N. Smith, Esq, to a seat in this House, as a delegate from New Mexico," shall cease in two hours after the House shall again go into Committee on the subject. Subsequently, he modified hia resolution, by substituting two u ciuciv tUMUunvn 1UI tuo iviiuiuhhuu ui iuc uo> bate; and it was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Strong, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. McLane of Maryland in the chair) and proceeded to the consideration of the special order, being the report of the Committee of Klections, to which were referred the credentials and the memorial of Hugh N. Smith, praying to be admitted to a seat in the House as a delegate from New Mexico. The report concluded with the following resolution, vix: Rrsolvtd, That it is inexpedient to admit Hugh N. Smith, Esq., to a seat in this House as a delegate from New Mexico. Mr. Ashe adverted to the early history of New Mexico to show that the rights of Texaa would t>? affected by the admisssion of the delegate, as a recognition would thus be made of the claim of the former to territory in dispute. Mr. Kaufman regarded this as a question of vital importance to the peso* and vitality of this country ; and if it was to be decided favorably to New Mexioo, the consequences would be truly momentous. [ Wednesday, Julv 17, 18,10. The consideration of the resolution concerning the memorial of Httk N. tiraieh wae renewed in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Bayly of Virginia said : The action of this Administration has been the fountain of the bitter waters; and the taking of the question from Congress has l>een a constant series of violations of Constitution and law. He did not believe that there was any portion of the country where slavery can be more profitably employed than in I California, in mining operations. And why was slavery excluded 1 Because every man in the Convention wuh engaged in the scramble for gold What was done there, however, was propriety itself. compared with the proceeding Which had taken place in New Mexico, and which it was proponed to institute. The Constitution of New Maxioo was now in thia city, and be desired to show, in advance, that if she be admitted, under the circumstances, it would be a dangerous and palpable violation of the Constitution. Mr. Carter of Ohio said: What, ho asked, has the question of New Mexico, as a State, to do with the subject now pending? You recognise no distinct organization by the admission of the delegate. You do not treat with ber as a State. She does not aspire to sisterhood, but oomos here on her knees, supplicating to be heard in her own defence. He did not intend to bring into tbe discussion the question of boundary, wbioh has been made use of for sinister purposes All we do, by the admission of the delegate, is to declare that oitizens of the United States shall be represented by the man sent hither by New Mexico, and who poe-.eseea a knowledgeof the people and the country, that he may give to us the information necessary to legislation with reference to the Territory. This is all there is of it; and still tbe ears of this House are belabored for hours over a conflict of State sovereignty about the boundary. There is no danger of a conflict between Texas and New Mexico. Tliey are six hundred or Ave hundred and seventy-five miles apart. The country of separation is aa broad as the desert of Sahara, tie repudiated, as unwise and unjust, the bringing in of the question of bnundrry, on t be simple proposition to admit tbe delegate. Mr. Stephens of (ieorgia stated the ground of bis opposition to the admission of Mr. Smith ? ^" /inmtt l>*wo vnnPflMni na m JolawntA from New Mexico, persons residing within the recognised boundaries of one of the States of this Union?Teiae. Mr. Howard spoke about the effect of admitting the delegate. When this shall have been done, all negotiation with Teiae will be at an end The question must be settled, either by Texas submitting peaoeabljr, or by a resort to the sword. He | did not utter this as a threat, but merely rxpress' ed the public sentiment in the State which he in part represented There was much excitement in | that portion of the country. He spoke what he knew, and what will be the effect of the act, wit h; out expressing an opinion as to the justness of the determination. A few days ago, he received despatches from the Governor of Texas, applying to the Federal Government to hnow whether It be | its purpose to ratify the late prsoesdloge of Colonel Monroe, calling a convention at Santa Fe, to form a Constitution and 8tat? Government, and to know whether it will enforce the act by its military power; and to entar a solemn protest on the flies of the Executive Department, if such be the object He learned, from the same source, that Teias has taken active measures to protect herself from the purposes of ths Federal Gov1 eminent, and, by military power, to resist aggres ; siou on nrr ri(Di?, wnicn ens is oounu ny nunor ; to miinuin Resolutions, during th* Into M?lon of the Legislature, were Introduced, requiring the member* of Congreoe to leave this hall in case the delegate should be admitted to a seat, 1 and they were withdrawn only from the sentiwent at that time entertained, that they could net be peaeed. Mr. Hurt inquired of the gentleman, whether the demand of Texas bail been laid before the President, and what answer had been reoeived. Mr Howard replied, that he had not yet received an answer, owing, no doubt to the recent occurrences. He, however, antieipated an answer, for one must oome In some form. The demand was made in such a manner as that a reply cannot be withheld. Gentlemen may a* well remember now, as hereafter, that the people of Tetes, for twenty years, slept on their eras, end they will net submit to any outrage on their rights and honor aa one of the States of this Union. Mr. Brown ef Indians regarded this question MI BODtniftwl is A IIUI(I)M)| || |^| IMMIA t tint the boundaries ef Texas hud nothing to do with U, but It was sufficient to induce him to vote against giving the delegate a seat on this floor fit would not vote to admit aav delegate, If there was a claim to tho territory hr a sovereign State, until theglalm wee tally and fairly settled. Mr. Strong ef Pennsylvania made the closing peach In support of the report ef the oommiUse. I * # The debute having terminated, the Speaker J stated that the following resolution, offered bj Mr. McGaughey as an amendment was pending: " Rsiolt+d, That the said Hugh N Smith, Esq , be admitted to a seat in the House or Representatives, as a delegate from New Mexico." Mr. Boyd moved an amendment?that A. W Ribbitt be admitted to a seat as a delegate from Deaeret. Mr. Carter objected to it as out of order. The Chair [Mr. McLane| ruled it in order , an appeal was t ?ken, and his decision reversed? to 61. On motion of Mr. Schenck, the resolution of Mr McGaughey was so amended as to admit Mr. Smith to a soat "for the 31st Congress" A motion by Mr. Meade to amend, by inserting the words. " from that portion of New Mexico lying west of the Rio Grande," was voted down?69 to 38. The Committee then adopted a proviso offered by Mr. Pitch, of Indiana, "that such admission is not to be understood aa expressing any opin- j ion relative to the conflicting boundary between New Mexico and Texas" Mr. Gorman, of Indiana, moved the following proviso: rrorulta, I hat the said delegate was duly elect- ! ed by the qualified voters of New Mexico, in accordance with the laws in force therein. Ayee 57, noes 80 The Committee rose without coming to any conclusion. The Speaker laid before the House a communication from Mr. Crawford, Secretary of War, ( asking the House to cause legal proceeding* to be instituted against him for the recovery of any portion of the Galphin claim which he had reoeived. . The House adjouoned. Thitudat, JULY 18, 1850. The House, in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, was engaged in the consideration of the resolution respecting Hugh N. Smith. Fire minutes speeches, on amendments, consumed the day. An amendment offered by Mr. Green of Missouri, to strike out the words, " as a tUUgale," was lost?yeas 67, nays 80. Mr. Stevens moved to strike out "is," from the word in'rjndvnt, in the resolution of the majority of the Committee. He said thai he was in fiver of admitting the delegate, for the reason that New Meiioo was formerly an authorised, organised community, and one of the Provinces of Mexico. There were large interests to be determined on judicial au moriiy. i exas diuj aoie ana zeaious auvocaiee here New Meiioo, who is equally interested, has nobody on this floor especially to advocate her rights. Are we to try this question tx parte, and be the judge and advocate, and exclude the other party from a voiowhere?a benefit which is allowed to the commonest malefactor? We by law allow the accused to be he?rd by counsel, seleeted by themselves He believed with his col- ( league, [Mr. Strong.| that the Umindary is out of | the question, and that the only point was, Shall | oo be heard, is '.'.111 Of a great Question? We should not, as Hhadatnanthus, I the judge of hell, determine it without giving a | fair hearing Are we to be guided by American , justice, or take the place of the infernal judicatory ? Mr. Meade of Virginia moved to admit Mr. Smith "at the proper time;" Mr Taylor of Ohio " as soon as possible." Mr. Meade's amendment was rejected. Mr. Gorman of Indiana proposed an amendment?"provided that at the time of his election he resided within the undisputed boundary of Texas.' Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania was sorry to be obliged to oppose the admission of the delegate. Mr. Johnson of Arkansas said that Mr. Smith was horn and bred in the South, but he had publiahed a pamphlet of a grossly Abolition character, and, by this means, had drawn to him the sympathy of a majority of this House. He found gentlemen going for Mr. Smith for no other reason than this. And he read from the Journal the names of certain gentlemen who voted.agninst Mr. Sibley, as the delegate from Minnesota, and are now about to vote tor Mr Smith. Mr. Houston. My purpose is to vote for the -.1 : CMiuiiaaii'u tit iuc unc^oic. Mr. Johnson. You voted for Mr. Sibley. 1 did not read your name. I feel satisfied now th it gentlemen who change their ground should give to the House and the country some good reason for doiDg so. Mr. BiraeU simply wished to say two things, which by no means would influence his vote. The intimation had just been made that Mr Smith ia to he introduoed to his seat on Abolition grounds Mr. Johnson. I never said so. Other gentlemen may vote for him for different considerations , but I say that there nre some who will vote for him on that ground. Mr. Bissell remarked that his vote would not be influenced by the charge, whether it waa general or specific. Another thing; the intimation that it will lead to a civil war would not influence hia vote, because he did not believe it. If it had oome to this, that the admission of a delegate to speak, with scaroely any of the privileges of a member, is to endanger the Union, and embroil us in a civil war, the quicker we know it the better. The admission of the delegate will not bo attended by any suoh oonatquenees, and he did not believe that if the delegate whs admitted it would be by an Abolition movement. There was great propriety in admitting the delegate. Mr. inge sent to the Clerk's desk, to he read, two extracts from the pamphlet of Mr. Smith, addressed to the people of New Mexioo, in which he spoke about the slave power and sordid speculators being arrayed against New Mexioo, and called upon them to aasert their rights by forming a State Constitution interdicting slavery. After various amendments had been rejected, | the amendment of Mr. Howie? to admit Mr. 1 Smith as the advocate of the Convention held at j Santa Fe, was rejected; as woe also, hy a vote of ( ayes 8.1, noes !>0, tho substitute (for the original i resolutions) that the said Hugh N.

Mr. Strong moved the previous question, and The House adjourned. d Fains y, July 19, 1S'?0. Mr Hiasellof Illinois pressnted the memorial of Miss Dix, praying an appropriation for the relief | of the insane, and he asked that the (loose would refer it to a select committee.

Woodward, Evans, and Brown, addressed the Committee in support of the resolution ; Messrs McDonald and Gentry against it. Mr. Root replied to Mr. Woodward, and argued in favor of the exclusion of slavery from the Territories, and said that the I loqflft would violate good citizenship by refusing a voice to Deeeret. to, be heard when Congress is about to provide a Government for her.
