Soon after the peg A morning, the House, on mo- tion of Mr. Burt, of South Carolina, resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Norris of New Hampshire in the chair,) and took up the Senate bill to organize a corps of SAPPERS AND MINERS—BREAKERS AHEAD. Mr. Burt proposed a verbal amendment, which was agreed to; and, after expressing the hope that the bill | would be unanimously acquiesced in, he moved that the committee rise and report it to the House. Gippinas arose (on the frontier of the House) and at as the bill proposed to increase the military force of the nation, therefore he desired to make a few remarks. ‘The Cuatrmany—The committee will come to order. Mr. Gipvine terday the House passed a law to increase our present military force fifty thousand. I am, sir, and ever have been since I entered this hall, opposed to an increase of our standing army. Mr. Jonxsox, of Tennessee, rose to a point of order, and stated what it was. The Cuaimman gave a decision; but so great was the confusion that not a word was audible. Mr. Gropixas—(Loudly)—I did not hear the decision of the Chair. Mr. Dovetass, (who had tem in the neighborhood,) remark o orarily —He & en a position you may go ° Guppixes proceeded. He was opposed to an in- crease of our army, from a belief that the found republic intended that our citizens themselvy. maintain their rights, posed a standing army, ed to the genius of our institutions; a illustration of this lately on the Rio del Norte, where American soldiers, entitled to the rights of sisecanip, without charge and investigation of alleged offence, with- out conviction and judgment, were shot down in cold blood by the American standing army. Mr. Burt.—-Will the gentleman yield the floor? Mr. Grpoixos.—There’s so much noise I can’t hear. Mr, Burr, (elevating his voice,)—Will the gentleman yield the floor? Mr. Ginpt Purpose. Mr. Burt.—I desire to change my motion, Mr. Gropivas did not yield. He resumed his remarks, and said, in sorrow, not in anger, that foreigners had not shot down American soldiers, but that they were shot down by their American brethren. Yes, their American brethren in arms, and without trial and conviction! We had seen the Americen President, who is the commander- in-chief, invade a foreign territory, end place on it the standard of our country—thus usurping jurisdiction, in subversion of the fundamental principles of our institu- tion; we had seen the same President use the army to violate 7 principle of international law and moral justice, and by sophistry attempt to show that the soil ‘was ours.

Mr. Groprnas, after another interruption, said that there ‘was a tribunal which would judge, and from which there could be no escape. (A voice—‘What's that?) Gen- tlemen might disguise ‘the fact as they pleased; but the Mexican people had never been interrupted on the east- ern side of the Rio Grande until General Taylor went there. The President talks about our boundary ! Now, m which Texas had, was r,and her sending an army there. The army of the United States was three hun- | dred miles further than where Texas herself placed the | boundary, and our troops being there was as much an in- vasion as if they had gone to the city of Mexico.

A question of order was raised; and after it had beeu disposed of, The bill to organize a corps of sappers and mmera was passed—yeas 152, na; Mr. Ratnavy said he was out when the bill was pass- ed, and would now move to reconsider the vote.

As to the course of General Taylor, he had no confidence in it. There were only fourteen who voted against the bill yesterday to carry on the war. He regretted that five out of the fourteen were from his State, (Ohio,) and his colleagues. One thing, however, con- soled ey were not of the democratic party.— He alluded to the corruptions in the navy, ‘and lauded Mr. Bancroft’s report, recently published, su, gesting reform. He stigmatized those who had been for years waiting orders as a set of drones, living on the fat of the land, eating fine dinners and drinking good wine. And this made them incapable of service. It was a damning abuse, and ought to be known to the country. We had music in the President's grounds for the fair la- dies and the whiskerandoes. Under what law is this au- thorized? ‘The musicians had better be playing Yankee Doodle at Matamoras ; and the officers waiting orders would be better off there than here. He said he was sorry that Mr. Adams had introduced resolutions making ingary about the shooting of deserters.

Gippines.—You ought not to ask questions if you admit them. Mr. Sawrer.—Old Hickory and George Washington would have shot the deserters under similar circumstan- ces, Tho orders in such cases, are to take the run ays dead or alive. He believed that their conduct was the last thing to be enquired into. Why, a sermon was hy, lately prnoounced in this city, eulogizing tho godlike Daniel, and the preacher took up the Ashburton treaty. Mr, Gippina: tion as to the sermon he alludes to? Mr. Sawver.—I'd rather go on. Mr. Gippincs—I would like to know the particulars. ‘Who was the clerical gentleman? Mr. Sawrer.—The gentleman knows to whom I allude, if he attended the church. (Laughter.) Ifhe was there, he knows. I was not there. —The gentleman is not the defender of . ‘cs.—If the gentleman will not answer, I have nothing to say. Noe Sawyer concluded his remarks in opposition to the ill. Mr. Tinnarts did not mean to reply to the remarks of Mr. Giddings, but to express his wonder at the temerity of the member that he made such remarks ashe did in his speech. Jt isa wonder that he did not stand in fear himself that a thunder-bolt does not strike him to the floor for uttering such sentiments. Inreply toa portion of Mr. Sawyers remarks he said thst Gen. Taylor was ‘a perfect gentleman, and as gallant an officer as Wears an epaulette; an officer of experience, one who has not transgressed in any degree, the authority given him by the government. He then passed on, and quoted from the remarks of Mr. Morehead, (a Sevator from Kentucky) as published in one of the city papers, and answered them by showing that the territory of Texas extended to the Rio Grande. Mr. Darran addressed the committee, denying that the territory extended so far; at the same time he was not averse to rendering such aid as was requisite in the pre- sent emergency. Mr. Goxvow obtained the floor, but yielded for a mo- thon that the committee rise. It prevailed; when Mr. McKay submitted a resolution to terminate debate on the West Point Academy bill in ten minutes after it shall again be taken up in committee, ‘A motion was made to adjourn, and no quorum voted. Mr. Dromcoote said that gentlemen were sitting in their place, and refusing to vote. The resolution was agreed to—Ayes 85, noes 33. & RECESS. Mr, Tnurman moved that the House take a recess till half-past 7 o'clock. ant ae Moved to amend by saying fill half-past o’clock. Several motions wére made to adjourn, on which the yeas and nays were called, and a good deal of confusion was prevalent. asic e amendment of Mr. Winthrop was rejected And the motion of Mr. Thurman, to take a recess un til half past 7 o'clock this evening, (to act upon the amendments, if the Senate should make them, to the bill which passed the House yesterday, providing men and money to carry on the war with the Mexicans,) was agreed to—aycs 67, noes 65. 80 at fifteen minutes past four o’clock, the House took a recess until half past seven this evening.

Mr. Horxins (Sper » pro tem.) called the House to INVESTIGATING COMMITTRE. The Clerk, by his direction, read a letter from the Hon. John Pettit, asking tobe excused from serving on the Committee appointed to investigate the charges against Daniel Webster. He states as a reason for the request, that the House refused to allow the Committee a clerk, gt consequence an undue degree of labor devolved on him. Mr. Brinxernorr moved that the request Le granted. The Srraxer stated the ition. 7m Mr. J.

TAR WAR BILL. A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had passed the bill Providing Sar the prosecution of the existing war between the United States and the re- public of Mexico, with amendments, in which they asked the concurrence of the House. Mr. Haratson moved that the House concur. “ What are the amendments?” and “ read, read. ‘They were accordingly read by the Clerk. Mr. Hanacson moved aconcurrence, and moved the previous question. Mr. Gentry presumed the question wonld not be taken on all the amendments at once. He desired to have the yeas and nays on the amendment with regard to pay of volunteers.
