By a bold and vigorous demonstration, it may be stopped at once.

The Sreaxen signed two enrolled bills, viz: An act authorizing an increase of the rank and file of the army, | and the act providing for the prosecution of the existing war between the United States and Mexico. REVENUE MARINE SERVICE. | Mr. Hotmes (of the Naval Committee) sent to the | Clerk’s table a communication from the Secretary of the | Treasury in relation to this subject, which was read. He said that there was a bill regulating the appointment of officers in the revenue marine service, and he moved that the Committee of the Whole be discharged from its fur- ther consideration. | reed to, and the bill ordered to be | Te The motion was thi ng vs expressed his opposition to the bill, and desired that the vessels now under the direction of the Treasury Department shall be transferred to the ogee | which no one doubted was competent to protect tl coast, and prevent smuggling. As it was, there were two branches of the service, under two sets of officers, differently appointed, and this he thought ought not to exist. And Eafore he took his seat, he moved that the bill be recommitted to the Committee on Naval Affairs, | with instructions to report a bill to transfer the vessels | attached to the revenue. service to the Navy Depart- ment. Mr. Kina, of Georgia, said that the revenue service was growing up into a navy of itself, and, as it were, in | opposition to the established navy. It was unquestiona- | bly proper that the transfer should take place. In no | country under heaven, were these two separate branch- es of the navy—one for the treasury and the other for defence, Mr. Hotmns, of South Carolina, deprecated hasty ac- | tion on a subject so important—he was not willing, by a stroke ofthe pen, to change a een which had so lon; existed. Let them pass the bill now before them, an the proposition of the gentleman from New York could be considered hereafter. Mr. Stanton concurred in the views of Mr. Rathbun, that the revenue cutters should be attached to the navy. Mr. McCueucanp said he was in favor of striking out all but the fourth section, so as to confine the Secretar of the Treasury to the temporary appointment of i neers. This was absolutely necessary, and he ona not go beyond it. Mr. McKay remarked that under ‘an existing law, it was already provided that the revenue cutters ald co-operate with the navy; and while co-operating, they would be under the direction of the Secretary of the | Mr. Ratuacy again submitted a few remarks in favor of his proposition. The question was then taken; and, by a vote of— 85, noes 75—the bill was recommitted to the Committee on Naval Affairs, with instructions to incorporate the vessels in the revenue service with the Navy. MILITARY ACADEMY. The House resolved itself intoa Committee of the Whole (Mr. Cullom, of Tennessee, in the chair,) and resumed the consideration of the bill making appropria- tions for the support of the Military Academy, for the year ending June 30, 1347. Mr. Goxvon briefly oppoed the amendment of his | colleague (Mr. Rathbun) which was pending, to abolish the institution; and alluded in no very complimentary terms to the fourteen who voted against the bill to car- ry on the war with Mexico. ‘The time to which the debate was limited yesterday by resolution, having expired, The committee voted on the amendment, that no cadet shall hereafter be appointed, and, as soon’ as the cadets | now at the insiitution shall have graduated, the institu. tion shall be abolished—and the question was decided in -| the negative—ayes 46, nays 94. The bill was laid aside, to be reported to the House, and makes the following appropriations, viz : For pay of officers, instructors, cadets, and rmausicia soventy-eight thousand nine hundred dollars. For ‘commutation of subsistence, five thousand two hundred and fifty-six dollars. For commutation of forage for officers’ horses, two thousand four hundred dollars. For clothing for their servants, four hundred and twen- ty dollars. For repairs and improvements, fuel and apparatus, for- age for public horses and oxen, ‘stationery, printing, and other incidental and contingent expenses, twenty thou- sand dollars, For completing the barracks for cadets, fifteen thousand dollars, TAY OF THE ARMY. On motion of Mr. McKay, the committee took up the bill making appropriations 'for the support of the army, forthe year ending June 30, 1847. Several amendments having been agreod to, Mr. Buack, of South C ve additional sec- tion, to pay the non-comm musicians and privates attached to the regiments of riflemen, infantry and artillery eight dollars a month, instead of seven. He said the dragoons received eight dollars, and he desired to equalize the pay. Mr. Burt suggested that this should be limited to the continuance of the war. Mr. Tinpatts proposed to amend the amendment, to make the pay uniformly ten dollars a month. Mr. McKay hoped the Committee would reject the amendments. The House, last night, determined that the pay shall be seven dollars, and gentlemen should Preserve a character for consistency. Mr. Tissarts said thet. men who risked theielives in battle, should be vetter paid than those who passed their time in peace at our forts and arsenals. Mr. W. W. Campari would vote for increasing the pay, because he thought if we threw out inducements for na- tive Americans to join the army, cither as volunteers or regulars, there would be fewer desertions than now, whion there were so many foreigners attached to the ser- vice. Mr. Hamutn considered the amendment of Mr. Black to be perfectly right, and he would vote tor it. Mr. Roor said, that by the action of Congress, yester- day, he was made the enemy of Mexico, and, perhaps, of every other nation. He was one of the fourteen who Yoted against a declaration of war. But as we were now engaged in a war—the question was over, whether we should get into it—let us prosecute it manfully. “I am conducted from any of the mane the territo: or the United States or Spain against either nation, the: being ina state of peace with each other, shall be rif judged as piracy. Mr. Borrien said that from the existing | war with Mexico, it was not improbable that privateers | might be fitted out against us at the Island of Cuba. Ie | accordingly:moved a resolution instructing the commit- tee on the judiciary to inquire whether any act of Con- | ress is necessary in anticipation of a violation of the treaty of San Lorenzo El Rio, of the 27th October, 1795, between the United States and Spain, and to report b: bill or otherwise. ‘The resolution was promply adopted. THE INDIAN BILL OF APPROPRIATIONS was then taken up as in committee. Upon several small amendments the question was proposed; when there was | ascertained to be no quorum voting. Mr. Sevrer—If we cant raise a quorum, I think we had better adjourn and go home. Mr. Brexse suggested a call of the ayes and noes. There was a pause, during which several Senators ap- peared; and several amendments were agreed to. With some discussion an amendment was agreed to authorizing the clerks heretofore employed to be con- tinued by authority of law. (Message from the President, announcing that he had signed a private bill. Some persons laughed, expecting the sending down of the war bill.) Next followed a Webate betweon Mr. Lewis and Mr Sevier on striking out $11,000 for military posts. Mr. Lewis said that appropriation belonged to the army bill. ‘Mr. Sevien—Ah! yes; it’s in the army a Mr. Lew1s—There is no authority in law forit. Mr. Sevien—Same as the pay of the clerks. Mr. Lew hat’s no authority’ at all. | M Then you have no authority to make any appropriations without saying they are done by law. Mr. Cass and Mr. Lewrs further debated the amend- ment. Mr. Sevrer said he read no lectures to any body, and would have no lectures read to him. He did not think there was any great argument against these appropria- | tions in this special pleading. The amendment was mo- dified and agreed to. Next came an amendment striking out $5,000 for pre- amendment was debat Mr. Sevier, Mr. Ash- ley, and Mr. Lewis. gen ie aoa Gen.

Members get eight dollarsa day, and why should not soldiers get eight dollars a month? He repeated that he was one of the fourteen who voted against a declaration of war, but for this he was sneered at by the gentleman, (Mr. Gordon,) who comes from among the “anti-renters of Delaware and Ulster. Laughter, There were some men who hurred into the war, and may be the first to hurry out. It was not those who en- tered into the ranks last who would be the first to leave them. (Laughter.) His rule was to keep the country out of a war; butnow we were in the war, he was for country, right or wrong. [‘ Good.”] If his consti- tuents foxnd fault with him for voting against the war, that was a matter between himself and them. He would not consult with the and Delaware ; let before their repre- sentative lectured him. (Laughter. Mr. Gorpow rose to reply, but Mr. Broxexnonoven having previously obtained the floor, respectfully reflised to yield, saying that he had but a few words to submit, He then opposed the amend- ment, on the ground that no additional pay was necessary to stimulate our soldiery to patriotic action. Mr. Gorvow replied to Mr. Root. The gentleman might not be a tory from choice, but by association. {Laughter.] It was’ better late than never for him to come out for his country now. The gentleman wants toget back to Congress, and todo so he is in favor of giving our soldiers ten dollars a month, although he did not vote a dollar to enable these same soldiers to beat back the enemy. Mr. Gordon then spoke of our title to the boundary of Texas to the Rio Grande, as clear and indisputable. The Committee rose informally, anda message was re- Ceived from the Senate, stating that they had passed the fortification bill with amendments, in Which they asked the concurrence of the House. On motion of Mr. McKay, the amendments were refer- Hw to the Committe¢ of the Whole on the State of the nion. THE WAR BILLS APPROVED AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT. _Attwo o'clock, a message was received from the Pre- sident of the United States, informing the House that he had this day approved and ed the bill providing for the prosecution of the war between the Bnited ‘States and Mexico, and the bill forthe augmentation of the rank and file of the army. THE PAY OF THE ARMY—THE WAR, The House again went into Committee, and resumed the consideration of the bill making approprietions for the the army. ir. SkvERANCR, one of the fourteon who voted against the war bill, defended the vote he gave. Ina letter in: serted inthe Intelligencer of this morning, Mr. Seve- rance says—‘‘1 believe the Mexicans upon the Rio Grande have been acting strictly in self-defence, and if they have made a manly tance to Gen. Taylor, the aro to be honored and applauded for doing 90.” He tool ¢ ground that Gen. Taylor, since he has advanced be- yond the Nueces, is on the Mexican soil in the department of Tamaulipas, and it is there, on Mexican soil, that blood | has been shed. | Mr. Deano (another of the fourteen who voted against sed the committee, and justified his | principal reasons were, that they had not | it time to consider it, and, with all proper re- spect for gentlemen, im no few words as were contained in the preamble id never seen so many falsehoods —s0 much of the ossence of untruth reduced io its strong: est condition.

He con- demned the removal of our army, gpd stationing it be- | fore Matamoras,with the cannon pointed towards that city ready to batter itdown. It was a Presidential war, an unconstitutional war, an immoral war, and a damnable ‘war, and without authority of law. He had tried, so far as he was concerned, to keep our country in the right; but now that war was on us, he was prepared to fight for hiscountry, right or wrong. | Mr. Dovenass alluded, in strong terms of condemna- | Vion, to the course of those who opposed the bill passed | They had come forward and told us that the ve and do every thing they can to stimul might tell him they were for their coun itrequired a man of more charity than he it. ‘The country would hold son in their h ur own country; | our foes.

(A voice, “That's it.”) And yet this was, according to the gentle- man from Ohio, (Mr. Delano,) “ unconstitutional, unjust, and damnable!” The man from Massachusetts nodded his head in assent. A —I assent to every word. I remarked that the gentleman from Mas- sachusetts had, in 1819, maintained that our right of title was as good to the Rio Grande as to the eity of New Or- leans. Mr. Avame denied the assertion. Mr. Dovatass said he could not prove the handwriting, because the despatch to Don Onis was printed. The gen- tloman from Massachusetts, on the question of Oregon, was for possession of 54 40 first, and negotiating afterwards. (Lau ter.) 1 hope the gentleman ‘will not blame Mr. Polk for possession of the Rio Del Norte first, and negotiating afterwards. (Cries of nea “good,” and clapping of hands.) Mr. Polk but followed the advice of Mr. Adams. Mr. Payne inquired of the gentleman, whether there was not money cnough in the national treasury to meet the expenses of the war ? Mr Doverass had understood there was more than enough. Mr. Payne said he was aware of that, but asked the question, that the reply, might go to the country. Mr. Dovauass concluded remarks, when the com- mittee rose. And at four o'clock the House adjourned, Baxtimone, May 13, 1846.

Destruction or THe Borxas, No. 2.—We learn by the steamer Tributary, down last evening from tlie Missouri, that on yesterday morning, about 3 o’clock the steamer Bereas, No. 2, lying at Consaul’s woodyard, a few miles below Herman, was discovered by the watch: man of the boat to be on fire, in and near her engine and deck rooms, both of which were stowed with hemp. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that all attempts to save the boat and cargo were fruitless. She was heavily preservatian of her domain, the security of the lives and rights of their fellow citizens, and the honor of the coun- try. Mayor Swift presided, and the Presidents of the Boards of Commissioners of the various districts acted as Vice Presidents. Speeches were delivered by Peter A. Browne, Josiah Randall, Col. R. M. Lee, Col. Page, B. H. Brewster, Gen. P. 8. Smith, Judge Conrad and C. J. Jack. The hero and heroine in the late romantic tiaeyecs f match, Mr. and Mrs. Throckmorton. this morning too! their ‘departure’Sonth, by Baltimore train. They proceed to Louisville, by of Wheeling. It is pre- sumed from this fact that the parent has become recon- ciled to the son-in-law whjch his refractory daughter has forced upon him, The success of this elopement has given courage to many a sighing swain who had been in the depths of de- spair from the cruel opposition of flinty hearted parents, and several efforts to entice boarding school misses from the guardianship of their teachers have since been made; but the increased watchfulness caused by the same inc: dent on the part of the duennas has so far led to their failure, Two young Adonis looking gentlemen were a few mornings since chased from the vicinity ofa school by a couple of constables. They were at the time conversing with their inamoratas, who were sta- tioned in a window not far above the pavement. The offers of our volunteer companies to go to Texas are still contfnued, and if all go that have expressed a willingness, Philadelphia will send more than her quota of the 50,000 authorized by the bill. Col. Wm. F. Small has been empowered by his company the Monroe Guards, to offer their services to the President. While on this subject, let me‘ellude to a card published by the redoubt- able Col. Jack, who wishes to raise a regiment of native guards. With a modesty that is fitted to the man, he states that “he will assume the command, arrange’ the | details, and take upon himself the discipline of the corps. 3 if The officers will be selected by him to fill all the commissioned posts.” This card has created consider- able amusement, and many jokes have been cracked upon the subject. The pupils of the common school at Harrisburg, of which Capt. Eyster is principal, arrived yesterday on a visit tothis city. They are unit i carry muskets and other accoutrements, proporti to their size. They number 40, and are from 9 to 14 years of age. A arade through the streets, and a drill this morning in ndependence Square, attracted much attention. They will appoar this evening on the stage of the Arch street theatre, and go through their drill. ‘The unus of @ recruiting pert navy, drumming up those who feel dispesed to dis! themselves, was to be seem parading through ou: this morning. At Trenton, Inst evening, Joseph Mount was seriously wounded with a sword canoin the hands of William Boswell, during an affray betweon thom. Ho was living this morning, but his situation is pronounced ns dange: ous by two physicia ttending upon him. The parties are brothors-in-law, baying married sisters, and occupied ahigh position in society at Trenton, both being mem- bers of tho city ceuncil. I have not heard tho origin of ‘the quarrel. . The trial of the Cactus mutineors commenced this morning in the United States CircuitCourt. J. Murray Rush, £aq.; who assists Thos. M. Pettit, Eeq., the District Attorney, opened the case on the part of the prosecution The Gehace is conducted by David Paul Brown, Wm. G Smith, and O. Hopkinson, Esquires. At the adjourn. mént of the court, the examinal in chief of one wit- ness, John Perkins, a lad, had been concluded. It is probable the triel will’ occupy the remainder of the ‘woek. The circular of the Treasurer of the commonwealth, and the favorable light in which he places the prospect for the payment of the August interest upon the State P seae fae er effect upon Se e commonwealth. The aggregate amount of resources for the fiscal year, is estimated at $1,960,000, while the amount of interest due in August and February, is sta- ted at $1,860,000. The Treasurer makes an urgent , for prompt payment of the revenues of the 3 and{trenews offers of an abatement of five per cent, on all payments of taxes made previous to August.

The boat was burned to the water’sedge. The officers and crew remained at the wreck. No lives were lost.—St. Louis Reporter, May 5. A Srats or War.—We have recently published the minutes of a conversation which passed at Matamoras, between General Worth, of the American, and General Vega, of the Mexicanarmy. We were fur- nished by General Worth with the following, which was intendes a note to the memoranda of the conversa- tion:— After repeatedly remarking that he (General Vega) considered us inastate of war, Gen Worth remarked that General Mejia might, by a very simple operation, determine when and where the war should | pee but it would be for the United States to say when where it should “—Washingten Union, ry 13.
