Its failure will unavoida- bly prolong the war, a matter greatly to be re- gretted. Itis now the intention of the adminis- tration to prosecute the war with the utmost vigor, until it is brought to a termination. Should an opportunity occur for sending a mission of peace, the President will embrace it, and will carry out such measures as in his own judgment, andes | | of his cabinet, will be necessary for bringing our | difficulties with our sister republic to an honora- ble adjustment, relying on the good sense of Con- gress and the people to sustain faim: i The President is desirous of retaining in the Treasury every dollar for the expenditure of which | there is not an absolute and craving necessity. | He is aware that the Exchequer is already almost | drained dry—that the expenses of the war will absorb more than can be spared—that the new tariff will bring in for the first two or three years | a revenue not even remotely approaching the sum necessary to defray the expenses of the Go- | | vernment; and he therefore thinks it the most pru- | dent course to withhold his sanction from all mea- sures qnneing :® drain on the Treasury, that are | not of immediate and urgent necessity. Hence | his veto of the River and Harbor bill, to which his constitutional objections are by no means of a | weighty nature, as [ had, ina former communi- cation, an occasion to point out. On this account | also, he has seen fit to veto the French Spoliation | bill, thereby Causing to the friends of that mea- sure a great deal of consternation and disappoint- ment.

The Closing Scenes. Both houses stand adjourned over to next De- cember. The President’s veto of the French spoliation bill of five millions, was read to the Senate this morning. He has his doubts abont it, and has nothad time to examine it, and therefore can’t sign it. Mr. Webster threatened toexpose him before the people; Mr. J. M. Clayton was indig- nant; Mr. Allen referred Mr. Clayton to Jeffer- son’s Manuel, which forbids a member voting ‘upon a bill in whieh he has a personal interest. Mr. Clayton wanted to know what that meant. Mr. Allen said it simply meant the reading of the law. Mr. Clayton subsequently denied having any personal interest in this matter. r. Hun- tington, Mr. Johnson of Maryland, and Mr. Morehead, ein against the veto. The vote upon the bill was 27 10 15. A change of a single vote would have carried it by two-thirds. By the business-like activity of Mr. Evans, and his watchfulness at seizing the proper moment, he got the Smithsunian Institution through in the nick of time—signed and all. You already have the bill. It is passed precisely as you will find it on your files of two months ago, asit passed the | House. Directly after, Mr. Evans got a resolution through, which became a_law, appointing Hon Rufus Choate of Mass , Dr. Gideon Hawley of N. York, Hon, Richard Rush o Penn., Hon. Wm. C Preston of South Carolina, Alexander Dallas Bache, and Lieut. W.G. Totten of thiscity, Re- gents onthe part of the Unien at large, in the disbursement of the funds accoraing to law, Next in importance to the late rebuilding of the treasury, patentoflice, and post office buildings, all together, will be the benefits of this bill to the city of Washington. It will create a most noble ornament to the metropolis, a glorious monument | to the :enevolent donor, and a conneeting link of fraternal feeling between John Bull and Brother Jonathan, only second to the Oregon Treaty. The people of Waskington, though they have lost the $30,000 to the avenue, have gained a half a million by this bill. What has become, mean- time, of those Arkansas bonds ? The two million bill was lost in the Senate, by the persevering retention of the floor, on the part of Hon. John Davis, till the House had adjourn- ed. Mr. Lewis moved to strike out the anti-sla- very clause; and, apprehensive that the motion would be carried, Mr Davis refused to yield the floor, though the Chairman on Finance begged and prayed that he would give way. The ques- tion of slavery is, therefore, left wide open in re- ference to California, thongh the proviso of the House has virtually stopped all future territorial acquisitions to the South. If the President can make a peace, he would be justified in spending the money any how; for it may possibly save forty millions to the government. e should not won- der if he would incur a debt upon his own re- sponsibility, if he can, or call Congress together again for their uncourteous behavior because of that French veto, and the abolition propensities of the House. Elijah White, late Indian agent in Oregon, was killed by the Cherokees and Pottawatomies. was the only bill left upon which they could fas- ten an amendment, and no new bill could be in- trodaced, and, therefore, the Senate talked on an amendinent to carry out treaty stipulations of about $140,000 for the Cherokees, and some $50,- 000 for the Pottawatomies. The amendment was concurred in by the House; but the bill could not be enrolled in time for the President’s signa- ture, thouga Judge Pascal, of the Cherokee na- tion, undertook that duty himself. The conse- quence is, that some thirty Cherokees will have to borrow money 'o go home, afler waiting upon the action of Congress for nearly nine months.

The Desired Reform in the Navy—Our Hopes for its Success. There is a great deal written just now about reduction of the navy, injustice to old officers, overslaughing, &c. We., by those who are entire- ly ignorant of the merits of what they write abeut. Let me say a few words on this subject to give you the information you have requested me to gather for the Herald. The energies of the navy were called out dur- ing the last war, and the service being in high re- pute in consequence of the gallantry of the offi- cers, the Department has been ever since inun- dated with applications for appointments. The service, as it stands now, is overstocked with of- ficers, notwithstanding the existence of war with exico. ca 4 The naval service may be divided into three classes. pong The first consists of meritorious old officers, who have already fought gallantly, and have served their country on whe high seas, on foreign stations, with zeal and ability. The second comprises officers who have been in the service for a number of years, but who, since the time they were passed mid-hipmen, have seldom seen blue water—others who can- not be persuaded to go to sea—others, again, who are too religious to fight, and too good by half for the quarter-deck—and some whose ill health in- oapesiinies them for active service. Ga he third class is made up of active, ambitious young men, who have x desire to distinguish themselves in their country’s service. _ f Mr. Bancroft desires to have a retired list, on which those should be placed who have served their country, but those who are unable to do ac- tive service. He thinks that promotion should be open not alone to those who have been in the ser- vice a certain number of years, and who have served their country during that time, by taking the best possible care of themselves, lounging about Washington or New York, or Philadelphia, or wherever pleasure leads them, and who have not for years tasted salt junk or regulation bis cuit—but to meritorious men who have dist guished themselves in active service, and whose | talents and acquirements entitle them to consi- and other States, was lost from the same impedi- » ment—want of time to enrol. Both houses presented a scene of the liveliest industry for several hours; and did more business this single morning than during the first five months of the session. As we expected, the $320.000 for satisfaction of the Mexican instalments of April and a 1844, was kept in the civil and diplomatic bill. ass. chusetts and Virginia, and other extraneous mat- ters went by the board; Massachusetts $250,000, Virginia $64,000 for military se-vices, So they will have to try again, like the French spoliation claimants. It will never do in God’s world to ive it up so. The capitol was full of people, and all hands sopeaies delighted that the long session was over. ‘e say blessed be Congress, for adjourning at all, for we began to be dubious that the cool morn- ings of September would find them still on the ground, Wasuincron, August 10, 1846. The Adjournment—A few Itens and Incidents— The Consular System—Home. Although the House commenced the transac- | tion of business this morning without a quorum, (against which Mr. Davis, of Kentucky protested, and which occasioned a running fire and much smoke,) by nine o’clock the requisite nuaber of members were present, prepared to give the fin- ishing strokes to the eventful session. The Sergeant-at-arms was very busy dispensing money. Gold and paper were plentiful, and the chinking and jingling were unwelcome sounds only to those who were not permitted to share in the distribution. In the various rooms of the Capitol, were clerks | busily engaged in engrossing the bills on parch- | ment. There was no time to be lost. A second now, was worth what an hour was yesterday. A moment’s delay might cause the defeat of a mea- sure; and this responsibility was met, and sha. red by as intelligent, gendlemanly, and industri- ous men as auld be selected, from what Gen. McConnell calls this “ vast and almighty repub- ie? The Postmaster General, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Secretary ot the Treasury, came to witness the proceedings ; but business would not permit them to remain, and they changed their quarters to the room of the Vice ‘resident, ad- joining the Senate, where the executive chief (as | 1s usual on the last day of a session) was perform. Ms duties as his station required. the Honse during the session that has just expired It may be remerbered as the noisy one. This morning, it was to be ex pects being the last day, that anything but dignified demeanor would be observed. There wasa constant and incessant din for four hours, sometimes twenty or more members addressing the Chair at once, when one could not be distinctly heard. They knew that but little time remained, and were influenced by motives highly commendable to them as members of the several standing committees. There was a kind of competition as to who should succeed in having his views favored. Mr. Brinkerhoff was extremely happy when the bill for the relief of Elijah ite, (the Indian agent for Oregon, and who was robbed by savages, while on his way to Washington) was taken up. It was passed with- out unnecessary delay, and sent to the Senate for concurrence ; but that body made it what is call- ed an omnibus, to carry other appropriations, and backed on it large sums for fulfilling the late treaty stipulations with the Cherokees, and (1 bel.eve) the Pottawatamies. The House, after a very few words from Mr. Sims, of Missouri, concurred in the amendments; and the especial triends of the indians and of Dr. nite, congras tulated themselves that 1 deed ht been perfermed—but the bill was lost! It was al- ready eugromedi If there had been time allowed toexchange messages between the two Houses, such a result would not have ensued. Three mi- nutes wonld have averted the grievous disappoint ment! whigs and Scott whigs—late-tariff men, and pre- sent tariff men---such a jumble of discordant and antagonistic elements never before were congre- ae under tie dome of the Capitol, I trust that fore Congress re-assembles, this irritated state | of feeling will have given way to that spirit of forbearance and courtesy which should ever cha- racterize the legislators of a great nation.

Mr. King, of NewYork, | lions by having for consuls ‘The bill to establish certain post routes—a large number all over the country—first passed the House : to-day the Senate returned it with amend- ments, in which the House concurred ; but while it was being engrossed, the fatal hour of 12 ar- ived ! ’ if ‘After all the excitement attending the Presi- dent’s request for two millions to settle bounda- ries with Mexico; after the promptitude with which the House acted on the bill framing a Ter- } ritorial Government for Oregon, the Senate was made their sepulchre. If time had only stood still two hours, probably allthe public measures would have been con- summated. Mr. Campbell, of New York, succeeded in | having passed a resolution referring his consular bill to the Secretary of State, with a request to communicate at the next session, his views, and make such suggestions as he may think will con- duce to the public weal. Mr, Buchanan thinks favorably of this measure generally, and espe- cially of that part which provides that Americans | self persona only, (natives or naturalized,) shall act in the ca- pacity of consuls. There are many instances on record to show that our eommerce has lost mil- men who owe no aile- but who would favor birth in preference to Consuls will open for jance to our government, the country that ripe them ourown. Active American Von: obey their countrymen channels of trade, if es | nected from individaal mercantile pursuits. 4 Buchanan will no doubt give to the subject t h due consideration its importance demands, aide by his experience at home and abroad. When the House adjourned to-day, there were loud expressions of joy. A rush was made for deration. For instance, he would commence with the oldest officer. He has served his conntry, and is still willing to serve her. Let him be promoted. He comes to the second on the list—he is a man | that has served his country in times gone by, but | who, from ill health is unable to go to sea, and incapacitated from doing duty in any department of the service. This man is permitted to retire on an honorable pension, and his grade is filled by one not so long in the service, it is true, but ‘one ambitious of active service, and able to erform it. He comes toa fourth, who says that | he really cannot go to sea—that it always made him sea-sick. Is such a men to bar the promo- | tion of another younger in the service than him- self, but who desires active service, and who is able to perform it honorably and creditabl: | Now,there are men in Washington hanging about ‘ the White House and the capitol for years without” seeing one day of active service, and who always continue to be let off. Are meritorious young of- ficers, who peril their lives in their country’s ser- vice, to be kept for ever without promotion, be- cause such meee ne gentlemen as those J have named have been a few years longer in the | service? Again—a man who has been most jon shore, enjoying all. * | home, is sent, when his services part of the time he has been in the navy the comforts of can no | longer be dispensed with, to cruise off the | the Gul rotect our commerce between here and of Mexico. For example—he is scarce- coast to | ly twenty-four hours together out of sight of land, | and is subject to scarcely | ences of sea life. And yet any of the inconveni- Catto he is a week on board he writes word that he is afraid of being sick | and is of course at once relieved, and a younger | officer sent in his stead, while he rests in inglorious ease at home. Iask is that young officer to stand still in the ranks of the service, while the old drone is promoted? This is the system which has been hitherto suffered te prevail—a system whivh is calculated to destroy the ardor and emulation of our officers, and to render the service inefficient. Now, this evil Mr. Bancroft designs to check. He wishes to clear the decks of all useless lumber —to make the little vessel tautandtrim. He does not want to have his best men down below under hatches, but to have his little craft manned by those who are able and willing to sail her. He | wishes, it is true, to send all the ‘lazy lubbers, the | invalids, and those who would turn the quarter | deck into a class meeting, | with the services of those eld sal n below out of the i dispense way. But he by no means who have | served their country long and faithfully—who !ove_ | ceive sanction of the Presi | ion in | Voluntarily reject food.” ‘here has been much, very much coutnpion in | kes sc in. honoring euch men by asking | | | e lly, | listof captains, for instance, and | next on the list, ip | ina state of most perfect discipline. the service for its own sake, and for the sake of the hard knocks that are to be got in it—who do | not excuse themselves from going to sea, by the | plea that wheu on salt water “‘ their stomachs in- On the contrary, he their advice, and by promoting them to the high- st grades in the service. To mee less figurative- fe wishes to put all those officers unfit for ser- vice on a retired list, so that they may not retard the promotion of young and active officers. In the next place, lie desires that promotion should be the result not clone of length of (nominal) ser- vice, but of merit. If there be a vacancy in the the next on | the list be a person having a mortal horror of salt | water, or if he be intemperate, or las always con- | trived to be on the sick list whenever there was a | chance of his being sent to sea, he then takes the he be a meritorious officer — Should there, however, be two of equal merit, he would always give the preference to of service. * + ‘This cannot be called injustice. In fact 1 can- not conceive how he could reconcile it with his duty to his country or 10 the service, to act other- wise. But some one may say, there is room for fa- voritism in this system of promotion by merit. Who is todecide upon the merits of any case. There is no more possibility of tavoritism on this score than in the present system. It is only after taking testimony, and after mature deliberation, that the preference is made, and then it must re- dent and the Senate. A promouon cannot be made on mere indi whim or fancy. a On the whole I conceive the system to be al- most unobjectionable. Its main object is a very praiseworthy one—to lop off the useless encum- brances thacat present tend to clog promotion in the navy,and to infuse a healthy and vigorous tone in the service. A man who thinks his duty is a disgrace to the navy, and that such persons, > {of whom, there are unfortunately too many, should block up the path to promotion, and cheek the progress o! gallant and deserving officers, is serious evil, and one which is calculated to emus- culate any service. The po be department is at present, thanks to i { Mr. Bancroft, the untiring personal exertions o ‘ienne mate may be made of the extrardinary reforms that have taken place under his supervision, by the the fact, that in the single item of contingent expenses, there will be this year a saving on for- mer years, of half « million of dollars. This, is brought about, not by cutting down ries or wages, or by curtailing che necessary expendi- tures of the service, put bye rigid investigation of the accounts, and causing to be exhibited to him- lly, an estimate of every contemple- ted outlay in every branch of the service. This information. I have gathered from several naval officers, and those connected with them, who have lately been here. 1 may write to you again on the subject. Chipman, of Michigan.
