-Correspondent of the Chars.Nretos. WAsaIJiros, May 13, 143. Payment for lost proper y-A ust Claim -The Abolitionists-Hto Jr. ' uck weas confuted by Mr. Burt-Mr 14lmes, On a it elief ofthe legal representa tives of Benjgsmin Hodges, a debate, poj sessing much interest, wok place to-day in the House of Representatives, in comtit tee of ihe whole; Mr. Sims in the chair. Mr. Tuck an Abolition member from New Hampshire, opened the discussion in an _ hour's. speech against the claim, for a slave taken away from Alaryland, at the close of the last war, by the Bsitish ..a though a prov' ' o pa, for similiar los see was made er the treaty of Ghenti )le preset sual stereotype views, such as ut take the money of the people to pay for slaves," "they are .not property," '"we ask to be exeni t from the curse and sin of the institution;" and to crown his absurdities, he pertinaciously insisted that in the case of Groves vs. Slaughter, the Supreme Court through Justiee John McLean, decided that slaves are not property under the Constitution of the United States. Nr. Burt desired to put the gentleman on his guard, and asked distinctly whether lie understo d him to say that the Supreme Court had made such a decision. Ar. Tuck read from the book, "thatjavery is a local and municipal in stitut, and the holding of slaves is only in virtue of municipal regultions." and he said that this was the decision of the Su, preme Court! - Mr. Rhe who reported the bill under consideration, from the Committee on For eign Affairs, made a plain statement of the case; and in a very few words, showed that Mr. T. was wrong from beginning to end. Great Britain by the treaty of Ghenit, agreed to pay for slaves raken away by her vessels orirthe American coast. There was some doubt as 'o the terms of the trea, ty; refereggewunade to the Emperor Alexauderfof Russia, and he decided that Great Britain shou'd pay. Great Britain agreed to a coiasion, and a list of claims was ma o by~another Conven tion however -shi agad to pay a round sum of m ney,;bitw~een 12and 13 thou. sand do sftod'otir.Governmnent consen. * ted to t 3itsaivdsatisfy the claimants. Our gover.nntpin fac'tassumed the pay neot with the British money.-Claimants have been satisfied. There yet remains a sium of two thousand dollars in the treasu ry, and from this claim of the legal repre. sentatives of Mr. Hodges was to be dis. charged. Mr. Rhett took occasion to give ~ thefanatics a. good beating, which their frtien-ds in the Hall did not relish, as a mat, eter of course. 1 havealready remarked that M r. B. asked jseveral times, whether he understood Mr. Tuck to.say that the Supreme Court of the nited.States. decided through Justice ;i n " that very was not property e,.fnd gfie os' titian ofthe United States. - in tbarohnian now arese to set " ;;1'- wtb lrgT._the issue:.as to the decision - ei Wr.Btt remaiked 'tha, as the genmtlemanlf had read what purported te he the decision of the Stupreme Coura, he i svas yet almost'inclined to doubt.whethier lhe ever read the diecisiotn which he quoted to the Committee. Mr. Tuck adhercd to his position. .Mr. Burt then read from the record the case of Groves vs. Slaughter precisely the same to which Mr. Truck had referred--and instead of justice Alc Lean delivering the argument of the Court it was delivered by Justiee Thompson. yustice MicLeani only delivered an opinioti on a subject not involved in the qiucs'ion and merely in extension. The opimnii oif thie Court, so far from being that slaves were not propert5 unuier the Constitution of the United States, was, that .he ques tion at issue entirely depended upon the conistructioni placed (on the Conslttuto of the State of Mississippi; and the only question decided was wbether a note, (gi ven for slaves) the subiject of dispute, .was void under that Constitution, which inter dieted the ;iiportation) of slaves as mer chandise, or whether that clause of the Constitutiotn had been cairried ittto eflect by thc Legislature of Mlississippi! Mly hum its will not permit me to :ive a detntled history of this case; but sulhieetnt is written to show that Mlr. Tutck was too postive in his assertions, and, as Mrt. Durt suspiec ted, htad not read thle decisions of the Su-. - ~pretme Courl. Mr. B trt trium phatily challenged anyv matn whoii fra tertti-d wh I M r. Tuck, to produLce a sitlL deciaion of the Sutpreme Court, which holds thait slaves are nut property. Mr. Woodward aly delivered a few re marks in suipport of the positiont that slnves are property. atnd slaves are personts.

Venable of North Cartolina, as an oliset to the ;assertiott of poo PTuck, refer. red to the jouratals of Congrrss of 15, yustice .Mc Lean, w hto was lihen a member, voted fur a direct tax on slaves as proper Ifthie owners refusedl to pay the tax, the elaves were subject to seizure by the mar. shal, and sold for the benefit uf the Uttitedl States! Negroes had always been taxed. Messrs. Chapman, of Alarylandi, antd A t kinson, of Virginia, declared thait slavery was right in the sight of God andI tman; and Mr. Holmes- said that people hail a right to property in persons, and that Southern anen will exercise that righit over tour millions of slttves, irrespective of the fanaties of the Nort hi. Mr. Collamer, of Vermont. spoke agaitnst the bill, and Mir. Giddlings repeated his ab olition speech for the sixty-nitnth time. TIhe bill, after all, was nsot passed-tno question having been taken. CA PITOL. WAsH ING'rON, May 15, I8I8. Yucatan-Mr. Calhoun- His Speechm, Sfc. it having been known that Mlr. Calhoun wasn to speak to-day on the bill authorizing gulleries, at an carry, hour, were densely crowded with ladies and gentlemen:" do not know of another Senaor, whose great talents and proud positi0pgaattracts, to a greater degree. the p bic attention. Neither party claims him as its champion; there he stands, occupying a position high above all selfish aid petty considerations, and speaking fearlessly and freely on the important subjects deeply affecting the in terebts of the Union. lie denied, in the course of his remarks, that there was any proof of undue English interference in the atTairs of Yucatan, and that circuntstances wound justify the interposition of our Go vernmeut. Having been a member of M r. Monroe's.Cabinet, the only one survi ving;-i diefti ed it from the interpreta tion sought to tie given to the declaration, that no portion of the American continent was to be subject to european colonization. However, there might, he said, arise ca ses in which he would interpose the pow er of this government, even at the hazard of w-:r, such, for instance, as the subjuga tion of Cuba by a foreign state. 'he an nexation of Texas prevented fu shadow ing difliculties with England avwell as Mexico. lie differed with Senators that the acquisition of Yucatan would aid our commerce. and to take military possession of it would not only prove expensive hut keep up a continual war n ith the Indians, and would be inconsistent with our present condition towards Mexico. If the appeal for aid resulted from the massacre of the whites, humanity would authorize it being given, but there were powerful considera tions which should induce us to act with extreme caution. Mixed populations in other quarters of the globe were liable to produce a similar state of affairs to that now presented in Yucatan; and if we interpose in its afl'airs, where will the policy termi nate ? lie was willing to send our ves sels to that neighbothood, to rescue such as desired to escape ; and said that Eng land had given such relief, and no more. lie bclieved that the Yucatanese feared Mexico more than they did the Indians. and he doubted the propriety of furnishing arms and ammunitions to them, as the bill proposed. But I do not pretend even an outline of the Senator's remarks; they were listened to with marked attention. After he concluded them, a moving in the galleries towards the doors, showed that there was but of little remaining interest n the Occasion. Messrs. Cass and Foote delivered their views, and subsequently the Senate ad jourr.cd. There was nothing of importance in the House, apart from a brief debate % hich took place on a resolution oficred by Mr. Stewart,. of Pennsylvania, to furnish a statement of the aggregate imports of spe cie from 1524 to the present time, and.the expor'ations of breadsiuffs from the same period.
