It was full of gross blunders, amounting not only to millions, but Bundreds of millions; not only a mistake of eighty.two millions, but a hundred and seventy five, tour hundred and one, and four hundred and twenty-three millions! I would like tocallthe attention of the Secretary to these facts. if he has got over the effect of his great effort. (Laughter) He fainted. I believe, when he feished his report; and no wonder! (Mach merriment ) It {8 a great labor to establish the truth, but a greater effort is required to make falsehood appear true. The bmegeeny 3 endeavors in his report,to make it appear that the low tariff of 1946 increased the export of bread- stuffs, and augmented the receipts of the treasury. But take the high tariff for ten years, and the low tariff for the same length of time, and by the former we get eighty- two, neatly eighty-three, millions more I show this from his own book, at page 953. Yes, here are the figures; take it down. The Secretary talks. too, about exports. He tells usthat the balance of trade in our favor is the result of low duties, producing great imports of specie and exports of br-adsetuffs. hy, he perpetrates a blunder of four bundred and one millions. I can prove it by his own report. Mr Walker says that the famine did not produce the exportation of breadstufls! Now, if the low tariff Produces exports of breadetuffs. why does it not pro- duce exports of everything elxe? Take the average of the exports for the last ten years. Last year cotto feli off four millions of doliars. England never repealed her corn laws—she only eurpended them. In four years, under the high tariff of 1923. called the “ bill of abomi nations,” we exported a hundred times as much as we exported to England during four years under the com promise act, | cail on the Secretary of the Treasury to com here. aud vindicate himself frem the misrepre- sentations and falerhoods in his report I'll make him sick of his breadstuffs. (Lwushter) In 1846, we took eighty-six millions of goods from England; she took sixteen millions and righty-four thousand of breadstuff- from us. We take trom her four hundred and sixty d l- lure’ worth of goods to her one cent of our breadatuffs Is there not one-eighth of the breadstuffs consumed by these who manvuficture goods, iron, ky ? Take one- eighth : we import four thousand dollars’ worth of goods from England, and ehe takes from us seven dol- jars and forty-two cents’ worth of breadstuffs. That ir the way our breadstuffs goto England Yes. we have a “model” Secretary of the Treasury, as well as a “model President.’ (Laughter) We'll make another “motel” (Who's that?) His shadow is over there Old Rough is coming, and gentlemen will be frightened with the reflex. (Laughter) INTERNAL IMPROVEMFNTS—IMPEACHMENT OF THE Pre SIDENT Mr. Venasie. of North Carolina, said that General Taylor would not thank te gentleman for connecting hie name with high tariff notions; for on that subject Genera! Taylor was extremely cautious in expressing his opinions. He (Mr. Venable) approved of the mes: sage of the President. withholding his assent to the river and harbor bill. Mr. Polk took the proper ground; he refused to open Pandora’s box, from which enor- mous evils would fly out. Franklin, in the conven- tion which framed the constitution, introduced an amend ment authorising Congrersto cut canals, and it was Tej-cted. If the right to make internal improvements is #0 clesr and undoubted, why have the advocates of the stem located it under avy clause of the constitution r. Calboun claimed it under the war-making power nd after the vagrant power, as Mr Clay calis it, was whipped from h to parish, we find it now claimed ‘under the power to regulate commerce; and egain under the clause to establish past routes; lastly, under the © general welfare.” by which anything can be done.

(He would vote thanks to the gallant old soldier and the great warrior ) m the gent! man from Indies (Mr. Henly) proposed an amend- mont, declaring the war to be waged for the country’s honor. A g-nileman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Ash- mun.) propo ed further to amend by declaring that the war was “unuecersarily and upcenstitutionally com- menced by the President.” This passed; there were eighty-five gentlemen found voting for it, although but forty-one voted for the resolution denouncing the war and asking for the withdrawal of our troops.

The steamer Woleott, which was discovered to be on fire about 9 o’cluck in the evening, Was lying up for the winter at Patterson street wharf, hemmed | ith the 1¢F, « d surrowuded by the steamers Jewess and Planter, and several schooners. The Planter, huving hee steam up, succeeded in work- ing her way out of the ice and out of danger from tie fire, but the Jewess, which was lying close to the wharf, was soon in flames, almost from her eiem to her stern. She was finally scutled and sunk to her deck, but her upper works were entirely troyed, and her engine lett a perfect wreck ne Wolcott was an old boat, of but little value,and was insured at $4,000. The Jewees Woes Without one cent ot insurance on her. The two schoouers that were on fire only lost their rigging and spars. ‘Tue Southern matl, on account of the destruc- tion of the Jewess, did not go last night, and Pionter, with Monday night's mail, having bern compelled to return yesterday on account | of the ice, there will be three mails here from the North, bound South, to-night.

Col Fremont then made en application for the reoall by the court of Com Stockton. to be interrozated by the court on all the points on which he bad been con- tradleted by Gen, Kearny in the examination by the sou On this application the court was ordered to be cleared. General Keanny sated: —* Mr. court is cleared | wish tomake # statement ”” No ohj-ction made— Geoeral Keaany said—“I consider it due to the dig- nity of the court, and the high respect | entertain for it, that | should here state that on my lest appearance be- fore this court, when I was answering questions pro- pounded to me by the court, the senior counsel of the acoused.

[am fally capabl ot takiog care of my owa honor.” ‘The President of the Court sald: much to hear it. te had not observed any thing of it.— He referred to the power of courte martial, under the law, in regard to violations of order in its presence ; and he read the 76th article of the Rules and Articlesof War, as follows : “No person whatsoever shalluse any menacing words, nigna, or gestures, in oe of & court martial, or shall cause any disorder or riot, or disturb their proceedings, ‘on the penalty of belog punished atthe discretion of the said court martial The Hon.

Mr President—On or about the first day of Ger Kearny’s examination before this court, when he im that coraer, and when jwice swore that Colonel Fremont bad ‘the originals now of certain papers, if he had not destroyed them. fixed his eyes upon Colonel Fremont fixedly and pawsiogly, and looked Angultingly and fiendisnly at him. The Judge Advocate, by lead- ing questions, led General Kearny into a modification of what he bad previously swora,”” ...* Here a member of the court rose and said—“Mr. Pre. sident —1 rise to bring the attention of the court to point of order, whick ought, I think, to be observed — reflecting upon the integrity of our proceed- not, in my opinion, admissible.’ 1 Benaon said: ¥1 admit the power of the court to punish, but they must first hear.” ‘The member above alluded to, again rose and said : “ Mr, President: I wish it to be distinctly understood, that in rising, | intended to int»rpose no impediment to a free and ful reply, on the part of the senior member of the counsel for the defence, to the remarks which have been made by General Kearny. My object inrising was to call attention to what appeared to me a violation of that respect which is due to the court in @ comment upon the integrity of its proceedings. The gevtleman has said that the Judge Advocate, who is the officer of the sourt representing the government, which prose- cutes in this case, had put a leading question to the witness for the prosecution, andhad led bim into a modification of that to whic! sworn These are the words he had risen to object to, aud he hoped they would not be permitted to go upon the record The member farther said ; “Mr. President: It is @ well known principle of law that a party cannot be allowed to put a leading question toa witness who testifies on the part of that party, and especiaily when it would lead the witness to a modification of what he had said Such @ course would bave been corrupt in the Judge Advo- cate, and the Court would have been derelict to ita duty to have permitted such s proceeding.” It being now @ few mioutes of three o'clock, when by law the Court must adjourn, the Judge Advocate re- quested Col Benton to continue his remarks without waiting for the sudge Advocate to record them, and he, the Judge Advocate, would endeavor to remember and afterwards record them Col. Benton continued his remarks, according to the reeoliection of the Judge Advocate, as follows: “When General Kearney fixed bis eyes on Col Fre- mont, I determined, if he should attempt again to look down a prisoner, | would look at him. I did this day: and the look ef to-day was the consequence of the looks in this Court before. | did to-day look at General Kear- ny when he looked at Colonel Fremont; and I looked him down; I Jooked at him till his eyes sell—till they tell upon the floor. “Aa to this Court, I disclaim any intention to disturb its order, entertaining as I do the highest respect for this Court.” ‘The President of the Court said he had observed Gen. Kearny look towards Colonel Fremont during the trial, and on the occasion referred to, but not with an insult- ing expression of countenance; on the contrary, he, the President, thought the expression was one of politeness and kindness. The hour of three having arrived, the President gave the order ror the adjournment of the Court. General Keaxny rose and said I wish, in the pre- sence of the Court, to say, that | have never offered the slightest insult to Col. Fremont, either here as a pri.on- er on this trial, or any where, or under any cireum- stances whatsoever.” And the Court adjeurned to meet on Monday at 10 o’clock. Monpay, January 10. The Court met pursuant to adjournment. After the reading of the Journal— The member who spoke toa point of order, during the statement made by Col. Benton at the close of the sitting on Saturday, moved an amencment of the record in relation to bis remarks Colonel Benton also suygested a correction ; where- upon the court was ordered to be cleared. When the doors were opened, the Junor Apvocats of counsel for court as follow will take down announced that the journal would be corrected accord- ing to the motio1 ry [Che report given al in, Saturday’s proceedings, corresponds with the journal a+ corrected ] The Jupce Apvocate then read the tollowing as pro- ceedings io closed sresion : “ Aad the Court directed it to be entered on the record, that the matter referred to by the counsel of the accused in the proceedings of & previous day in this court, was not an irregularity; that there was no leading question put te the witness; that the question, as shown by the record. was regular, though the point and eubject of the question was not of the smallest importance. “A written statement was received in closed session from.en. Kearny, in regard to the closing remarks of . urdi the Conner om eer getiaed that the subject be not far. ther entertained, and that, accordingly, the statement of the witness be not recorded.” And the Court made the following order: — “ The Court have before decided that, to supply ma- terial omissions, witnesses will be recalled to answer such jons io the Court may consider necessary to this gation. “ Under that decision, the defence can submit to the Court such questions as they desire it to put to Commo- dore Stockton, and the Court will consider whether they are necessary to complete the investigation before it, and decide on recalling him accordingly” The President of the Court then rose and read the fol- lowing :— “The recol ections and impressions of the members of the Court confirm those of the President, as expressed on Saturday, in reference tothe looks of the witness on the occasious referred to by the senior counsel. The Court considers the act avowed by the counsel, of at- tempting to loos down a witness before it, as improper aud indecorous; but as it did not come to the notice of the President, and the counrel bas disclaimed any in- tention of disrespect to the Court, no further action will be taken ” Whereupon, Col.

The ob- ject of calling him is to prove that, on Tuesday last, there were brought into this court a series of questions. for the purpose of being propounded to the prosecuting witness, (Gen Kearny ) which questions were drawn up by that witness himself, for his own interrogation, to be by bimeelf answered; wud that @ part of the questions #0 drawn up by the witness for his own interrogation, was placed upon the minutes, and read as questions pro- posed to be pat to that witness Lieut.

Fremont is instructed by his counsel that the sutject matter of his enquiry on Tuesday last, for making which he was publicly repri manded by the Court, and the subject matters of the papers growing out of the same inquiry which he subse- quently presented to the Court, and were by direction of the Court returned to bim, are matters of grave and weighty import, seriously concerning the irsues of this trial. and therefore proper to come to t! otice of the revising authority with the other proceedings. Lieut. Col. fremont is turther instructed by bis coun- sel that, in connexion with the censures passed by the Court upon him, Lieut Col Fremont, a prisoner at its bar, the occasions of those censures ought to appear. that both together may be examined and judged of fair- ly and equitably. Lieut. Col. Fremont therefore respectfully requests that the paper which he presented, and which was re- turned to him on Friday last, andthe paper which he resented, and which was returned to him yesterday, th of which are now again offered, and also the af davit of Wm.

Mounted Riflemen. [Copy. of the paper offered on Friday | Mr. Prestpent,—Lieut Col Fremont is instructed by his counsel, to ssy that the decision of the court of yes- terday, in relation to his application for an amend ment of the record, appears to him to contain an error of fact. The decision commences with this statement: “The accused yesterday addressed @ question orally, direct to the Judge Advocate, inquiring in whose hand writing questions were written, which he was preparing for a witness” Now. it is not understood that these questions were “ preparing.” They. were already prepared, written out, wafered upon the minutes, and from the minutes read by the Judy Advocate in open court, in response to the paper of Lieut. Col Fremont, objecting to the re- introduction of witnesses of the prosecution until he should be informed of the matters to which they were totestify It was not, therefore, im reference to ques- tions that the Judge Advocate was “preparing” for a witness that Lieut. Col. Feemont made the inquiry which he did, but in reference to questions prepared, placed upon the minutes of the court, and read in re- sponte to a paper of his own. Lieut Col Fremont would respectfully request that this correction be made; and would also iv quire whether the questions so prepared. placed upon the minutes of the Court, and so read before the Court and the defence by the Judge Advooate, are entered upon the record in the proper place; and, if not, he requests that they may be entered, nunc pre tunc, J.

When the doors were opened it was announced:— “The court adheres to its former decisions, and will not receive the papers. They will accordingly be re- turned.” Lieut. Col. Fremont then presented the following:— Mr. President: Lieut. Col. Fremont reads, in the reply which the Judge Advocate made to his (Lieut Col F.’s) observations upon what he deemed irregularities in the preliminaries of this trial, the following worde:— bi) ane seventh objection to the regularity of this ‘ ent want of @ prosecutor on partof ¢. trial is ‘the apparent vr on partof the ‘charges pre- , on information of Brigadier Gen. Kearney’—the Department having limited the charges to the matters officially reporied by Kearney” Brigadier 2r"rremont. here presents the Court the copy of the charges against him as delivered to him by the Judge Advocate, to show that the fact of these charges being preferred" by order of the War Depart- ment” does not appear in tnat copy ; and, being advi- ted by his counsel that it isan ili gal order, and that, in this case, the orders for the perferment of the charges should have been trom the Pretiveut, Lieut Col Fre- mont now brings the alleged illegality to the notice of the Court, for the purpose of giving his express covrent, as he hereby does. to an alteration or correction ot the re- cord by inserting “by order of the President,” instead of’ by order of the War Department,” if such be the fact (of which he knows nothing) that the President gave the orders in relation to the charges. Lieut. Col Fremont is also advised by his counsel that the use of theterm “War Department” is subject to ob jection in this case; and to obviate that objection he is Willing. and does hereby agree, that the term Secretary of War may be substituted in place of War Depart- ment. And these corrections, he is advised, are neces- sary to show the legality of the proceedings, inasmuch as the power of the President over the case is judicial, and confided to him for reasous, in @ case like the pre- sent, and cannot be delegated either hen eer or by pre sumption—either by bis own act or by legal implication Anxious thatthe record should have no legal obj tions on its face, Lieut. Col Frement consents to all amendments necessary to make it correct The present objection is not te a matter of form, but of great substance, and Lieut. Col Fremont desires the action of the Court upon it,in order that the correo- tion may be madein any way that will correspond with the fact. J.C, FREMONT, Lieut. Col. Mounted Riflemen. Upon which (after a closed session of some time) there was the following decision : This Court has before decided, in another matter in- volving the seme pcint, that it cannot go behind the admission of the charges before it in the usual form of authentication, to inquire into their origim or authen- tication. Nor. if the Court had now the power to go behind the due official reception of the charges here, could it ae- sume the power to entertain th jon whether the et of the War Departments the authority of the ent. Nor, furtter, is it to be considered by this Court whether the usual style, in documents and acts emanat- ing from the riment ot War, be correct in the use of the words, “ War Department”’ instead of the official designation of the Sveretary of War. Though the law organizing “an Executive Department, to be denominated the Department of War,” dircots the “principal officers therein to be called the Secretary for the Department of War, who shall perform ‘and execute such « uties aa shall from time to time be en- joined on or entrusted to him by the President of the United States,” Kc , this Court could net undertake to decide whether the common designation “War Depart- ment” and “Secretary of War” are sufficient designa- tions, or may be used one for the otber, in official acts. The Judge Advocate may make any correc ion in the copy of the charges furnished to the accused which may be needed to meke them conform to the copy on the record of the Court. Lieut. Col. Fremont then presented the following: — Ma. Preeipent:—Lieut. Col. Fremont offers to the court, as evideree to be used in this case, the certified copy of the despatch herewith presented, being an offi- cial instruction from the President of the United States, dated June 14, 1847, to the maval commander on the coast of California, and ii Pacific oo Col.F. deems this pap te him, thentic declaration from the Preident tl of Colifornia was"exclusively the commencement of the war. brought with it the necessity of @ civil government, and that Commodore Sloat was informed, ,on the l2th of July, 1846, that such a government should be establish «#d under his protection. And euch a government bay- ing been actually establiched yy Commodore Stockton, sor to Commodore Sloat, in the month of August year, this instruction of the President becomes a ratification of what he dia, being in exact conformity to the President's intentions, as weil as in exact con- formity to the laws of nations. He also offers this paper for the purpose of showing the President’s intention that the naval commander on the California station should be informed of General Kearny’ itructions before he himself arrived there ; and that “contrary to all expectation, this dispateh did not reach California until aiter the arrival there of General Kearny.’’ It is also offered for the purpore of showing the stress id by the President on the inetructions of the btn of Novemiter, 1846, being the firat explicit instructions to ing en the conquest jevolved upon the navy at nd that the conquest Kearny or Colonel Mason the entire control over the military operations and tho adwinistrative functions of government, and to “turn over” to him all papers necessary to the performance of his duties; and that it wan believed that thi explicit deepatoh of the oth of November, 1846, might “ unticipate the arrival im | California of Gen. Kearney,” which it is ia proof that it did not; and in fact ail the di“eouicties had ocourred between Commodore Stockton aud Gen. Kearney before thie despatch arrived, He also offersit forthe purpose of showing that simi- ler instructions (s# stat d at pege 4 of the paper cifered) wore dispatched wo Com.

He also offers it for the purpose of showing that the instructions to General Kearny of the 3d and 18th of June, 1846, in regard to the conquest and goverament | of California, conflicted with those of July 12, 1846, | (woless intended as contingent and dinate.) direotiog 8 civil government, to be formed under the ‘ection of the navy, and the country to be held as a conquest by the naval forces at the conclu- sion Of peace with Mexico; which orders, being posterior iu date to those of General Kearny, superseded and an- nulled them, until the subsequent orders of Nov. 5, 1846 —oalled the “ definite” instructions in the despatch of June 11, 1847—arrived in California, which (as before stated) it has been prsved did not arrive until all the difficulties had occurred. As Lieut Col Fremont considered this trial of him- self to be that of Commodere Stockton in his coed and that the decision of it must involve an examination of all the powers and instructions given to naval officers on the Callfornia station, in relation to the conquest and government of California, he, (Lieut. Col. Fremont.) while protesting against such a trial, ed the use of ail the naval and military iustructions applicable to the case, as fully as if he was actually Commodore Stockton on trial before a naval court martisl. The President gave orders to have them furnished according- ly; and among the papers go furnished is the despa now offered, dated as above stated, and signed by the | Hon. Mr. Mason, Secretary of the Navy. His counsel deem this re material to his defence - he, therefore, asks that it be received as evidence, and entored on the minutes of the Court. Navy Derantmenr. June 14, 1847. Sin :—By the arrival of ed Midsbipt leapatches have been received from Commodore Stock- ton, henting date February 5, 1847, and, b: rival of Mr. Talbot, a communication has been received from Commodore Shubrick, bearing date Feb. 13,1847, Mr, Beale reported at the Department on the Biet of May, and Mr. Talbot op the 3d of June. These despatches have all been submitted to the President, and { em instructed by him to express the great sasisfaction with which he has heard of the con- tinued tranquillity of California since the restoration over it of our military authority, and his confid pectation that it will now be maintaind without disturbance from auy source whatever. ‘The misapprehension between the commandii cers of the army and navy in California, which is men- tioned in the letter of Commodore Shubrick above ferred to, must long since have been removed by very explicit instructions which have since beem re- ceived in that country from this Department and the Department of War. At the commencement of the war with Mexico the United States had no military force in Cali- fornia of any description whatevgr, and the con. quest of that country was, from “mecessity, there- tore devolved exclusively upon the navy. The conquest brought with it the necessity of a tem- porary civil government. and on the 12th of July, 1846 Commodore Sloat was informed that “ such a govern- ment should be established under your (his) proteo- tion? There was still no mili officer in California, but Commodore Sloat was advised by the same commu- nication of July 12th, tbat Brigadter Gen 8. W Kearny had been ordered overland to that territory, anda copy of the General’s “confidential instructions from the De- partment” wasenciored tchim. He wasalso informed that ‘a regiment of volunteers was expected to sail from New York in the early part of August, which would, in the tirat instance, report to the naval commander on his sta- tion, but would ultimately, be under the command of General Kearny, who, it was added, “is appvinted to conduct the expedition by land.” Coatrary to all ex- pectation, this despatch did not reech California until after the arrival there of General Kearny. ‘On the 13 h of August the commanding officer of the Pacific equadron was informed that a company of artillery under Capt Tompkins had seiled in the United States ship Lexington; that a regiment of volunteers under Col Stevenson would soon sailfrom New York; and that @ body of troops und+r General Kearny might soon reach the coast, via Santa Fe Copies were enolosed of fo much of the instructions to Captain Tompkins and Generat Kearny as relates to objects requiring co-opera- tion, and of article six of the army regulations in refe- rence to military and naval rank. On this latter sub- neral principle was repeated, that ‘‘no officer y or navy, whatever may be his rank, can any direct command. independent of consent, officer of the other service, except only when war to over land forces are especially embarked in vessels of do the duty of marines On the 5th of November, 1846, Com. Stockton was informed that the President has deemed it best for tae public interests to invest the military officer command- ing with the direction of the operations on land, and the administrative functions of government o' the people and territory cecupied by us. He was also di- rected to relinquish to Colonel Mason or to General Kearny, if the letter should arrive before he had done 80, the entire control over these matters, and to turn over to him all papers necessary to the performance of his duties. It was believed that even this despatch might anticipate the arrival in California of General Kearn; Similar instructions were communicated to Commo- modore Stcckton under date of January 11, 1847, and were renewed to Commodore Shubrick under date of May 10,1847. A copy of these last instructions, which on this subject are very full and distinct. is herewith enclosed. I also enclose a copy of document No. 19, which has been al: transmitted to you, but which is of 20 much interest that I send it again. Possessing the views of the government, as tl given in the despatches above enumerated, and particu- larly in the letter of May 10th, you will have had, it is believed. no difficulty in edjustiag with entire harmony any differences which may previously have arisen be- tween the army and navy on the the temporary civil government in Cai: ‘The experience, which we bave had, as well in the e tern portion of Mexico as on the Pacific side, has cot firmed the President in his purpose of devolving on the senior military officer the duty of civil government in | the conquered territary. It is more consistent with the relative duties of the two branches of the service. The tempt to exercise it by a naval officer necessarily withdraws him from the appropriate sphere of his pro- feesional duties He instructs me, therefore, to imprees on the naval cfficers that this duty will be required of the military officer of highest rank in the couutry, who may be on duty; and with this olear repetition of hit wiehes, it is not apprehended that collieion again occur between those whose ices are always most efficient when they act in barmony avd concert. | . * * The remainder of this despatch | — to other beet er ] bedlent ‘ | am, very res} , your obedient servant, Dee ey eee JY MASON.

Lieut. Cel Fremont then presented the following : Mr President: Lieutenant Colonel Fremont, by the | advice of his counsel, now requests of the court | to be allowed time for correcting the pub- lished report of the proceedings of the Court by the official record, in order that, in analysing and comparing the testimony given in the case, he may be | enabled to use the precise words in which it was taken down.

Col. Fremon advised by his counsel that he cannot, in justice to the case, ask a less time than om Lieut. Col.
