(We did not catch what it was) By this time afew choice spirits alone remained in the room, it being about two o’clock in the morning, and the toasts were irregularly introduced; for instance— “Mr. Cuainman, I have a toast to propose.” The Cnain—‘ Very well, hand it to the Secretary; he'll take care of it.” And the Secretary accordingly collected a quantity of slips of paper, much in the same way as collections are taken up in meeting- houses. This will make very little difference, however, as the *‘ Democratic Committee ”’ in- tends to publish (in accordance with a resolu- 108) all that was said, as well as what wasn’t— resolntions which were, as well as these, which should have been introduced, etc, and why not ? In this age of humbhg, why should ‘‘ Demo- cratic Committees” be exempt from the mania, any more than their neighbors? and we think, therefore, they will be parlectaiietfied in pub- lishing to the world a ‘“ revised and corrected account of their meetings,” and afterwards is- suing as many corrected editions as they please. To speak seriously, it was one of the worst conducted meetings we even attended—not one- half of the regular toasts ever were given, and no opportunity was afforded for volunteers. Jt was noisy and turbulent in the extreme; and in the sketch we have given, we have suppressed rather than exaggerated the scenes. _ By the way, we had almost forgotten to men- tion, that at the very last, some one gave a toast for ** Gen.

Aemopevs. Wasuineton, Jan 13, 1848. The War Bill in the Senate—The Santa Anna Mystery in the House—The Great Case of Mrs. General Gaines in the Supreme Court, and the Thrilling Finale. The speech of Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, to- day, in answer to his colleague, Mr. Reverdy Johnson, on the origin and causes of the war, (though a good speech was expected,)took the Se- nate by surprise. Mr.Pearce,indeed,in this single effort has proved himself one of the most able de- baters on the floor, clearly ranking with such men as Crittenden, Benton, Mangum, Badger, Cass, and others of that class. The facts and the testimony adduced by Mr. Pearce, to-day, to show that the Rio Grande was not the boundary of Texas, Jeave no ground for Mr. Johnson to stand upon, except the little fort of Corpus Christi But we consider that all debating of this question of the boundary is a supererogation—the simple fact that it was left, in the resolutions of annexa- tion subject to negotiation, was quite enough to constitute the ‘stupendous deserts” between the Nueces and the Rio Bravo, disputed territory for the time being. It might have been occupied by both parties by agreement, or the occupation by either party might be made acause of war with the other. Arista proposed such joint oc- cupation; but the offer was not accepted by General Taylor, and the fact is that both parties sought to bring about the war, and the result was inevitable. In tact, the war existed from the annexation of Texas by John Tyler; and the failure of securing negotiations was a failure to stop the war, not to prevent it. The war still existed against Texas on its annexation, and was annexed with the territory. The line of the Nueces, therefore, and the cry of American blood being shed upon Ameri- can soil, are secondary considerations; and nothing more. In adopting Texas without ne- gotiations with Mexico, we adopted the war; and failing to negotiate, the war went on; and the march tothe Rio Grande was the resump- tion of active hostilities, not the beginning of the war. But we believe that the war might have been stopped, either by sending a force of 20,000 men to tl e Rio Grande, or by remaining at Corpus Christi in the collection of a tormid- able force, pending the efforts at negotiation All this sort of talk, however, is not now called for. The question is, how are we to end the war? We have only to say, f-r the present, that we must end it the present session, or it will become a standing dish for recruitiag offi- cers, loan bills, tax-gathers, and presidential speculators. - « In the House, to-day, there was another little veto message from the President, declining to furnish certain parts of the Slidell, Herrera, and Santa Anna correspondence. We should not be surprised if Mr. Botts were next to move for a special committee of inquiry, with power to send for persons and papers, in which event, Mr. Paine, the great-shot-at, with air guns and pis- tols, would be required to state the contents of certain despatches which he was commissioned to bear from Santa Anna to certain foreiga min- isters here in Waseington, but which he says he delivered over to Mr. Buchanan, after opening them and discovering the plot of a Franco-Span- ish viceroy. But we shall see. There is a mystery in this business yet to be solved his morning, Mrs. Gen. Gaines was escorted to the Supreme Court by twenty beautiful !a- dies. When they were seated, the Court room presented an interesting convocation. There were the noble looking judges in their black robes; there was Mrs. General Gaines and her beautiful escort; taere were General Walter Jones and Hon. Reverdy Johnson, her counsel; there were Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, and Gen. Quitman and Gen. Shielde; there were members ot both Houses, old and young law- yers, citizens and strangers, present. Judge Wayne read the opinion of the Court, showing th.. Mrs. Gaines is the legitimate daughter (tor that was the severe ordeal through which the litle woman has been struggling tor fifteen long years)—the legitimate daughter of Daniel Clark, deceased, at New Orleans; aad, as such, the heiress of his property (excepting one- fifth) in New Orleane, St. Lous, and elsewhere, variously estimated at from ten to fitteen mil lions of dollars The opinion of the Court embraced a history of Mrs. Gaines, and an argument establishing its validity. When the result was announced that she had won the cause, the suspense of fitteen years of protracted litigation gave way to an outburst of tears on the part of the heroic little woman. The long agony was over, and the overpowering victory Was too much to with- start: She could not help it. She wept like a womun when she rises from a great trial, tri- umphant and vindicated before the world. Her | lady attendants gathered around her, and kissed her in the delight of their hearts. They could not resist it, and they did not want to resist the impulse to so natural, womanly, and beautiful an act of congratulation.

House of Representatives, Wasuineton, January 13, 1847. ASSIMILATED RANK OF SURGRONS, ASSISTANT SURGEONS AND FURS! This morning, the House, on motion of Mr. Evans, reconsidered the vote Pe rae. ‘was laid upon the table the resolation reported +4 Mr. Schenck, from the Com- mittee on Naval Affairs, instructing that committee to inquire into the legality of the order of the Secretary of the Navy, giving to surgeons, assistant surgeons, and ursers, assimileted rank, and directing them to report, by bill or otherwise, whether the order shall be continu- or repealed, Mr. Scuencx, who yesterday reported the resolution, explained at length the object of it. If the order was pe right and partly wrong, Congress should modif it. The committee had not ye Secretary's annual port before, and no one could tell whem it would be, the debate was. not yet closed on the President’s mes- ge. After saying that he had occupied ten times as much of the attention of the House ashe anticipated, he took bis seat. Mr. Ruert contended that the committee had a right to take the subject into consideration, without an order of the House. They had no business to bring the in- structions into the House. The gentleman had sewed himself up. The proposition was so perfectly bald that there must b g politieal behind it. The Seo- retary never gave the rank referred to. It is only a regu- lation on ship-bourd—a courtesy extended to je off- cers. Mr. Scuencx—Were they not thus accommodated be- fore the order of the Secretary of the Navy ” Mr. Ruxtt—Yes, like bogs and chickens. The pur- sers and surgeons considered themselves wrovged; they ie not treated like gentlemen, and the order was is- sued. A colloquy took place between Messrs. Schenck and Rhett; and, under the operation of the previous ques- tion, the resolution was pas'ed —ayes 83, noes 79. THE PRRSIDENT’S MESSAGE—HIS REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH & CALL OF THE HOUSE. Yesterday, the following message was received from the President of the United States, but the seal was not . ‘Lo-day, however, the document was read To the House of Representatives of the United States:— I have carefully considered the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 4th inst., requesting the Pro- sident to communicate to that House “any instructions which may have been given to any of the officers of the army or navy of the United States, or other persons, in regard to the return of President General Lopez de Sante Anna, or any other Mexican, to the republic of Mextioo, prior or sabeequeat to the order of the Presi- dent or Svoretary of War, issued in Jani }, 1846, for the march of the army from the Nueces river across ‘the stupendous deserts’ which intervene to the Rio Grande; that the date of all such instructions, orders, and correspondence be set forth, together with the in- structions and orders issued to Mr. Slidell, at any time prior or subsequent to hie departure for Mexico, as minister plenipotentiary of the United States to that Tepublic,” and requesting the President also to “commu- nicate all the orders and correspondence of the govern- went in relation tothe return of General Paredes to Mexico.” 1 transmit, herewith, reports from the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of the Navy, with the documents accompanying the same, which contain all the information in th possession of the exeoutive which it is deemed compatible with the public interests to communicate. For further information relating to the return of Sanja Anna to Mexico, I refer youto my annual message of December Sth, 1846 The facts and considerations stated in that message induced the orderofthe Secretary of the Navy to the commander of our squadron in the Gulf of Mexico—a copy of which is herewith communi- cated. This order was issued simultaneously with the order to blockade the eoasts of Mexico, both bearing date the 13th of May, 1846, the day on which the exist- ence of the war with Mexico was recognised by Congress. It was issued solely upon the views of pelicy presented in that message, and without any understanding on the subject, direct or indirect, with Santa Auna orany other = forces by land and sea, and back to Mexico le into which he had been driven, landing at ‘rus, after that city and the castle of San Juan @’Ulloa were in our military oecupstion, as will appear from the accompanying rts and documents. The resolution calls for “the instructions and orders ingued to Mr. Slidell at any time prior or subsequent to his departure for Mexico as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to that republic” The customary and usual reservation conta‘ned in calls of either house of Congress upon the Executive for information relating to our intercourse with foreign nations has been omitteu in the resolution before me. The call of the House is un- conditional. It is,that the information requested be communicated, and thereby be made public, whether in the opinion of the Executive, who is charged by the constitution with the duty of conducting negotiations with foreign powers, such information, wnen disclosed, would be prejudicial to the public iaterests, or not. It has been a subject of serious deliberation with me, whether I could, consistently with my consti duty and my sense of the public interests involved and to beaffeoted by it, violate an important principle,slwayn heretofore held sacred by my prececessors,as | should do by a compliance with the request of the House. President Washington, in a to the House of Representatives of tne 30th of Marob, 1796, declined to comply with a request contained in « resolution of that body, tolay before them “a copy of the instructions to the minister of the United States who negotiated the treaty with the King of Great Britian ’—“ together with the correspondence and other documents relative to the said treaty, excepting such of the said papers as any ex- isting negotiations may render improper to be disclosed.” In assigning his reasons for declining to comply with the call, he declared that “the nature of foreign nego- tiations requires caution, and their succ must often on secrecy: and even when brought to » conclu- sion, a full disclost ofall the measures, demands, and eveutual concessions; which may here been propoend or contemplated, would be extremely impolitic; for this might have a pernicious influence on fatufe negotiations, or produce immediate inconveniences, perhaps danger and mischief, in relation to other powers The neces- sity of such caution and secrecy was one cogent rea- son for vesting the power of making treaties in the Pre- sident, with the advice and cousent of the Senat: he principle on which that body!was formed, confining it to email number of members. To admit, then, a right in the House of Representatives to demand, and to have, as @ matter of course, allthe papers respecting a nego- tiation with a foreign power, would be to establish a dangerous precedent.” In that case, the instructions and documents called for related to a treaty which had been concluded and ratified by the President and Senate, and the negotiations in relation to it had been termina- ted. There was an express reservation, too, pn from the call all such papers as relat ny existing negtiations” which it might be improper to disclose. In that case, President Washington deemed it to bea violation of an important principle, the estab- lehment of a “ dangerous precedent,” and prejudicial to the publio interests, to comply with the call of the House. Without deeming it to be necessary, on the present occasion, to examine or decide upon the other reasons assigned by him, for his refusal to communicate the in- formation requested by the House, the one which is herein recited is, in my judgment, conclusive in the case under consideration. Indeed, the objections to complying with the request of the House, contained in the resolution before me, are much stronger than those which existed in the case of the resolution in 1796. This resolution calis for the “in- structions and orders” to the minister of the United States to Mexico, which relate to negotiations which have not been terminated, and which may be resumed The information called for, respects negotiations which the United States offered to open with Mexico immedi- diately preceding the commencement of the ‘ting war. The instractions given to the minister o United States relate to the differences between the two coun- tries, out of which the war grew, and the terms of ad- justment which we were prepared to offer to Mexico in our anxiety to prevent the war, These differences still remain unsettled; and to comply with the call of the House, would be to make | Apearpa through that channel. and to communicate to Mexico, now # public enemy engaged in war, iaformat: which could not tail to pro- duce seriou: berrassment in any future negotiation between the two countr! have heretofore communtoated to Congress all the correspondence of the minister of the United States to Mexico, whioh, in the existing state of our relations with that repubiio, can, in my judgment, be at this time communicated without serious injury to the public in- terest Entertaining this conviction, and with « sincere de- sire to furnish any information which may bein the session of the Executive Department, and which either house of Congress may at any time request | regard it to be my constitutional right, and my solemn duty, un- der the circumstances of this case, to decline a compli- ance with the request of the House contained in their resolution.

Speeches of the Maryland Senators—Steamer Ashore—Failures of the Southern Mail—Dr. Collyer’s Models Matrimonializing—C. Dibdin Pitt, §c. The Hon. Reverdy Johnson’s speech on the Ten Regiments bill, is still the subject of strong animadversion on the part of the whigs of this city, which will be increased by the speech of his colleague, Mr. Pearce, delivered yesterday, taking exactly an opposite course, and sustain- ing the views of Mr. Clay throughout. The steamer Columbus, 1n coming up the river last night, was cut through with the ice, and to prevent her sinking, had to be run ashore. It has now been three days since a Southern mail has arrived here, and I learn there will be no boat in this morneng, as there was none at the other end of the line to start yesterday. The same derangement has taken place going South, and New Orleans may now be considered full ten days travel from this city. Dr. Colyer’s ‘* Model Artists,” although they have been announced two ine in succession, have, notwithstanding, failed to appear, and‘are now positively announced for to-morrow night. 1 understand that the Models have been inter- fea Pluto having married Venus, and Jove to Pscyche, so that the whole company are now bona fide husbands and wives. Their not appearing last night wasa great disappointment to hundreds, who had flocked to the house for the purpose of witnessing their performances, but found it all dark and closed. 4 The weather has become warm ogain, and we have this morning a light sultry rain.
