Wasutneton, Thursday, 4 P. The proceedings in Congress were as follows : In the Senate the committees reported several bills, among others a bill for a free bridge across the Potomac, at the Navy Yard. Mr. Breese introduced a bill to repeal the pro- vision in the navy appropriation bill of last year, limiting the naval force to 7,500 men. An interest. ing discussion then ensued, and the bill was re- ferred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Bills from the House were then taken up and referred. The bill in relation to the Florida judiciary, and the New Hampshire claims for military services, were passed, the latter 29 ayes to 14 noes. The French spoliation bill was further postpon- ed till Monday, The amendments of the House to the bill rai ing a corps of sappers and miners were concurr in. It was thus passed and sent to the Presider Mr. Archer’s motion to reconsider the vote by which the Senate disagreed to the amendments of the House 1 regard to the amendments of the bil! for a regimentof mounted riflemen, was laid aside for enquiry. ‘The bill authorizing the appointment of one pay- master and three assistant paymasters, is under discussion as we close the despatch. The West Point bill was finally passed. In the House, a motion to reduce the mileage of members, was rejected. The atmy appro- priation bill was then taken up—a partizan dis- cussion of more spirit than utility, ensued. In this, Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, attempted to reply to Mr. Delano, but with no great effect. Mr. Sims, of Missouri followed, and made a rough but strong istic harangue in defence of the admin- charae stration—Hon. Garrett Davis pushing back the imputations cast on those who do not approve of all Mr. Polk has done in the, Mexican business.— He referred to the President's usurping power, and embroiling the nation in war while Congress is in session, and without submitting the subject to that body, which alone has full authority over the matter, By the Last Mails, Wasuineton, May 13, 1846. The President’s proclamation announcing the istence of war between this couutry and Mexi- ¢o, will be published, probably, to-morrow. It was issued by him to-day, and is now in the hands of the government printer for publication. The most active preparations for a war with that coun- try are now being made by the heads of the mili- tary departments here, and orders have been sent off in every direction to the commanders of ships and fortresses to enter upon active service forth- with. The Mexican ports are to be immediately blockaded, and, if necessary, bombarded by our fleet, w h has been ordered to concentrate upon that coast in sufficient force for the emergency. Those vessels on the stocks and in ordinary, ai also to be forwarded to completion, if the exigen- cies of the case require them for service ; but, as this is not and cannot be known for some months | yet, very little, if any, of the ten millions will be expended upon them at present. The revenue cutters may be transferred to the naval branch of the service, aud answer all the purpose of pro- | tecting our coast commerce from the piratical de- | predations of privateers and other armed vessels | sailing under,the enemy’s flag. There is yet no news from the army. The mails from New Orleans, which arrived this eve- ning, are up to the 6th instant, at which time no- thing had been received, either from Point Isa- bel, or Gen. Taylor. This is the greatest anomaly in the art of war that has ever ie pened under any administration. There are 5000 United States troops several huge miles distant from all the «(i information from government, and we may say in the heart of an enemy’s coun- try, without the means of communicating with any one, except by running a horseman at the risk of his life both these important points kept up daily? If the lives of the soldiers in Gen, Taylor’s army be of any account to the country, and the anxiety that must pervade the bosoms of their friends every- where for their safety, be anything with the men who direct public affairs, then, indeed, they ought to have done this weeks, or months ago, and not have left the line of communication between them and their army, open to any interruption which either the enemy or the elements might at any moment give rise to. Imbecility has marked every movement of this administration since it came in- to power, and the paralysis with which it has struck everything that it has touched, has caused its friends to fear coming into contact with it, lest, liko the influence of the upas tree, it should poison the atmosphere wherein they breathe, and cause desolation and death to them for their temerity. Among the many foolish, if not vicious, decla- rations made by persons who pass for the animal man, openly and without guise in our streets and bar-rooms, is that of the profits which must inevi tably arise from an invasion of Mexico, by the plunder of the richand elegant churches of that country. This avowal is made by those people | who forget that in doing so they wound the feeb ings of more than a million and a half of their own fellow-citizens, whom they expect to contribute, class of patriots right on this head, I may as well inform them now in advance, lest they should be disappointed after getting into that conntay, and even, if possible, to the capital of the Montezumas, that the clergy of Mexico have already made ample preparation for preservin; the “little Jesuses,” with which their churches are orna- splendidly ornamented places of worship, upon the approach of an enemy, I have been assured, will be made as naked of rich and valuable sacred ornaments, as any Presbyterian meeting house in this country ; and if required, the sacredjvessels will be given to the government to enable it to resist every and any attempt at invaston by the troops of the United States. It is well to know this in time, so that those who calculate making « profit out of that species of plunder, may not be disappointed when they might suppose their hopes were on the int of being fulfilled. The same class of bab- Biers are continually talking about reducing Ma- tamoras to ashes, and other Mexican towns, as if such a barbarous act would be tolerated for a mo- ment by our government. _ No, this is not the po- licy or practice of any enlightened rey and most assuredly, it is not that of the United States, When the British soldiery burned the capital and navy yard here during the last war, they received the execrations ofevery man of honor, both in the United States and in Europe ; and any imitation of such conduct on our part, upon the peaceable inhabitants of Mexico, with whose government we are now unfortunately at war, would provoke an enemy to practice the same upon ourselves at any future time, and plead our conduct as a pre- ent for theirs. Although I have very little re- gard for either the promises or professions of Pre- sident Polk, 1am willing to admit that wherever and whenever he can exercise his autnoeey, to prevent cither of the acts upon private or public property above referred to, he will do so, | Congress passed the appropriation bill in refer- ence to our fortifications, to-day.

No further news from the seat of war was re- ceived by the Southern mail of this evening ; nor any before Friday evening, as ence of five days in the receipt at next arrival will bring news of a formal war char- | acter, or it will be entirely pacific ; the repudia- | tion by the Mexican commander, of any aggres- | ion on his part, and perhaps the suspension of , anda peaceful proposition to settle dif- In the latter case, the late act of Con- ‘ess will not be required to be made effective, and the President may issue no proclamation. The late act of Gongicar may be considered a war, and it is more tho- of 1812, That act declared war between the Uni- ted States and Great Britain, and placed at the | disposal of the President the land and sea forces, all comprehended in one short section, and made | no specifio ry fhe neni ef money, which was ol immediatel lowed on the same day, 19th of June, 1812, by the proclamation of President Ma- dison. But this last declaration was made after | mature deliberation, in closed ged for three days by Congress, constitutionally and formally, nor did it contain any preamble. It was on the preamble in the act, passed yesterday, that the supaeinion in the Senate was made. All were willing to grant any amount of money and sup- plies of men to meet an invasion, which might or | might not be authorized by the Mexican government ; but they wanted more time and developments, before they would vote for a positive and formal dadlaraton of war, ich, as Mr. Calhoun said, affected the hts of other nations, in amity with the United | States. The majority in the Senate wished to force the friends of peace to vote against the bill | with the preamble, and thereby to make political | capital ; but their object was well divined, and | nearly an unanimous vote was the consequence. | The game was played dexterously, and started in | the ume of exci | hot; but the iement—struck while the iron was hief purpose failed. And it is un- der the pressure of this very panic, that large sums of money have been voted, and so many appro- priation bills for the artis ineluding the lortifica- tion bill which passed the Senate to-day. The money is now in the hands of the distributing | powers, and they use it, or squander it, as they please, more particularly, should affairs take an ¥ . | immediate pacific turn, and the present excite- | ment prove an ebullition, Itmay have some | eff fectin showing, that if on the grounds of a skir- ish in an enemy’s border, this whole country can be so violently aroused, and — act pre- cipitately and promptly and liberally, what can be done, and would be done, in case of any sim- ple aggression, on the part of Enaene, or any of the great powers of Europe? The volunteers named in the bill will not be wanted. The sim- ple passage of the act is sufficient intimidation to exico. But if she persists in her folly, and with- holds the justice due us, and will not at once ac- knowledge all our claims, and grant us full and entire retribution for injuries given, she must take all the consequences, and be driven to beg on her knees for peace. am no apologist for Mexico, and a long series of grievances on her part, demand from us a strict exaction ; but as to the late cause of aggression, our administration, somewhere, is certainly to be blamed, and a great want of sagacity and states- manship has been proved to exist in our present Cabinet. Mr. Calhoun said yesterday, in the Senate, he would rather ‘* put a dagger into his heart,” than vote for this bill. He thought it precipitate—un- seh and unwise. > ‘he bills have all passed—now, what will the cabinet do? Mason, the Attorney General, is the | only man of magnanimity and incorruptibly among them, and two_of the remainder are seek- ing the Presidency. Where will the money be seattered?

If Mexico | could, or did grant letters of marque and reprisal to other nations, the crew of each vessel so saili under the Mexican flag, must be two-thirds Mexi- | cans, otherwise they are all to be considered as swarm with privateers, who can pirates, and hung at the mast-head by any vessel in their proportion, in men and money, towards | ““) pturing them.

But, in order to set that . 8. The several companies which have been | reported, heretofore, to have been ordered by the war department to the seat of war, have only re- ceived orders “to be in readiness to march at the first warning”—a beautiful commentary this, ‘upon the prompt and energetic measures of the | department, ina time of emergency.
