INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, APPAIBS IN WASHINGTON, Wasninerton, Jan. 24, 1848. The Progress of Events. Events are hurrying us along. With all the sids of steam and electricity, we can scarcely keep pace with the morentum of the age. The current of annexation seis heavily inte the Se- nate—it is spreading over the land~ it oversha- dows the south like a gloomy cloud—it over- epreads the north-west, tinged with the light of the reflected sua, giving it « fringe of silver and gold. It is the apple of discord, for which states- | all theirarts, and politicians all the It threatens again to sweep men are usin n jugg ery of the craft. over the land like a tornado, leaving, perhaps, a purer atmosphere behind; but jeaving also many of the tallest trees prostrate and shattered upon earth he Taylor men donot give upthe field. They ve fermed no centre! orgunization, only be- ause they have no organ but they are not idle, as the speech in the House to-dav will prove. It is now expected that nei- ther Mr. Clay nor Gen. Taylor will stand in the way of each other, if either be nominated by the whigs. But of this it is best not be too confident. Some of the democrats, we understand, had a eaucus meeting to-night, on the subject of the Presidency. Nothiog, we believe, was done, execpt to agree to another meeting at an early ay. ‘There was a meeting to-night at Jackson Fall, ofthe Democracy. John Brough, of Ohio, Cone of the boundary commissioners hetween Ohio and Virginia, and editor of the cinnati Juquirer,) was the orator of the evening. He made a strong speech in support of the war— po ties for the past, and security for the future,” including annexation. He was ap- plauded to the echo. Annexation is assuming a lpable shape. It is becomin he question of ay, and the hesitation of Congress to act gives itstrength. We had rumors of peace this morning, and there is yet a chance for it. We must have poner soon, or the game is up, and the issue will come the whole of Mexico. Tar Doctor. Wasutneton, Jan. 24, 1848. Termination of Debate—A Gun Brig, $c. it is truly gratifying that the debate on the President's message is to be terminated on Wed- nesday afternoon. We have had a surfeit of speeches about the war, designed more for Bun- combe than to convince those who impatiently listen. The same arguments which were made use of during the last session. are repeated by the new members of the present Congress ; and thus, for fear the people will forget them, they are reiterated. : The government has engaged Captain Lasby, of this city, to build a gun brig. We saw a beauti- fu timber intended for the keel, about sixty feet in length. ws The Hon. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, has arrived and taken his seat. Another democrat. By and by, our democratic friends may be in the majority. ¥. WasnineTon, Jan. 24, 1848. The Court Martial—Lieutenant Colonel Fremont’s Defence. The Fremont court martial met to-day, pur- suant to adjournment, to hear the defence of * Lieutenant Colonel Fremont, previous to going into closed session and deciding the case. The court room was crowded with spectators, and graced with a goodly sprinkling of the fair sex. The ‘grove andreverend signiors” were present in all the pristine glory of gold and silver lace, and even the little orderly (who has often had the satisfaction of turning us and worse men out ef the room) locked quite spruce. Colonel Fre- mont, of course, was present; so was the Judge Advocate, andso was Mr. Jones. Onthe whole, we are decidedly of the opinion that the recess which the court has indulged itself in, has been of great benefit to all concerned. : Lieut. Colonel Fremont commenced his de- fence by reading at great length a history of his career in Calitoruja previous to General Kear- ny’e arrival. Itis not necessary for vs to more than state the grounds of his defence, as the whole matter has appeared in the trial, and been reported fully in the Herald. The subject, in truth, is worn almost threadbare, and whatever interest was at first excited about it, has long since died away. The whole drift of the de- fence, so far as it has gone, has been to invali- date Gen. Kearny’s testimony; and this is done in most masterly manner. Less could not have been expected from the author of the de- fence, Mr. Benton, but trath coipels us to say that the arguments brought aguinst Geo rny's tes- timony, even divested of thelr high coloring. are very, very strong. Gen Kearny, ths defence says, hes shown so luapy tnstances of a defective memory in his exami- nation. as to lead to the conclusion he has, in fact, Do memory at all. He said be did not kuow the messenger who brought rewont’s nots of the 16'b, and it was proved that the messenger was Mr Christooher Cargon, “the man who had conducted hin through the wilder- step by step to Californ! lt wae proved. the d-feuce contended, that General Kearny knw, on the 16.b of January, 1547, that Commodore Stockton had virtually appoiutea Lieut Col. Fremont Governor, and it was taerefor: beurdity tc euppore that he would hove gone on the 27th to Genersi Kearney to ark for an sppointment which he already porressed. The whole prorecnition had been founded cn the alleged tact, that Fremont bad gone, on the 27th January, 1547, to Gene- val Kearny’ qoarters, to enieavor to get himeelf ap pointed Governor, whilst it was proved by the small note, alm:st miraculously saved and produced, that he visited Geueral Kearny that day by the express deeirs of the latter—“on business,’ as the note hasit. Col Russell's evidence. which directly conilicts with Gene- Kearny's testimony, was then referred to, and the of the Court to allow Col. Rusrell to be qu:stion- ed upon all the points sworn to by General Kearny, di. lated upon. Colonel Russell's character was uni! achabie, and. if the Court had permitted, Mr. C' it. Crittenden, and others, would have been produced to testity to it; and it was also contended, that all Col Russel ewore to was corroborated by other circum- eiances, whilst General Kearny’s evidenos was not only duproved, bat contrary to probability. “General Kear- ny had sworn that Lieutenant Colonel Fremont kad so- Moited the office of Governor, which was fslee,”’ and the whole life of Fremont previously was brought forward ar evidence that he never had ;“begged” for any office. ‘The three appointments from him by Stockton, were iven without aeking or solicitation of avy kind. Col. ‘remout further stated, he had uo new position to take, put he would rend an extract from a pzivate letter to Senator Benton, written in April, 1847, when the trans- sotions were all fresh in his min: din which he etated that both Commodore Stockton and Genera! Kearny had offered him the government. In conclusion, Colcnel Fremont said:—" Brigadier General Kearny has Dorne falee teetimony agains: me. fie first undertook topeduoe me by offering the government of California, if I would take ride with him—and, failing in that, he hes sworn the false statement that I rolicited the office of hia.” Colonel Fremont said be bad a good deal more to add, and brgged the indulgence of the court till to- morrow, which was granted, #ud the court adjourned.

Whether the orders of Herrera or Paredes were first given, or those to General Taylor, and whe- ther had General Taylor remained at Corpus Christi he would have been attacked by the enemy, is all matter ef conjecture. He might or he might not have been at- ed. My object was to set the facts before the Se- pator respecting the march to the Rio Grande. ANOTHER INCIDENTAL DISCUSSION Mr. Crayon, with the assent of the ator from Rhode Island (Mr. Clarke, entitied to the floor on the special order), would take the occasion, in answer to some remarke heretofore made by the Chairman on Fo- reign Relations (Mr. Sevier), to submit a few words in relation to the French and Spanish territories in Louisiana and Florida. Mr. Sevier had contended that Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison had pursued a pre- cisely similar course in ordering the military occupation of those territories while under dispute, that Mr. Polk adopted and cerried out im regard tothe disputed terri- tory of Texas. Mr. Clayton took the opposite ground, and contended that the cull by Mr. Jefferson, for 80,000 militia, with a view to the occupation of the territory of Louisian je yet it belonged to France, was use the French, first by Bernadotte, and then by Viotor, con- templated a hostile descent upon Louisiana; and that it wasto resist this expected invasion, that the militia were called out. Mr. Sevien—If the Senator from Rhode Island will al- low me— . Voices—Ob, no! no! no! Mr. danngoan sppealed that the Senator be permit- ted to goon. Wehbad no — to requiie the Senator from Rhode Island to begin his remarke at this late hour in the afternoon. . Mr. Crarke said he would prefer now to defer his privilege till to-morrow. Mr. Dicxrnsox—Yes, that ought to be done. Mr. Hannecax—Let the Senator have a fair opportu- a to-morrow. ir. Cuamxe expressed his preference of waiting till to-morrow, if the Senate would conour. Aud the arrangement was agreed to. A long and very dry discussion followed,upon the policy pursued by Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison, in reference to the French and Spanish territories on the Gulf, before thelr purchase by the United States, Mr. Sevier and Mr. Foote taking the ground that the acts of those ad- ministrations, and particularly the policy of Mr. Jeffer- ton, was equally warlike toward France with the policy of Mr. Polk toward Mexico in reference to the territor in dispute between us and Mexico, and that Mr. Poll hed authority from Mr. Jefferson for what he had done in the march of Gen. Taylor to the Rio Grande, and that that march was therefore sccording to the apostle of democracy, and was strictly consistent with the true democratio creed. Mr. Clayton and Mr. Pearce, on the other hand, maintained the ground that the President had transcended the examples of Jefferson and Madison; that while they had done everything to avold war, Mr. Polk had done everything to produce war. The argu- ment was ably sustained on both sides, and, as we un- de it was only dropped when all the diplomacy, all the acts in executive session, and all the orders, oor- respondence and facts, on both sides, were exhausted. A SMALL BIL, For allowing Mr. J. Knox Walker a clerk, to assist him in signing land patents, next came up. Mr. Usperwoop entered a speech against it, It wase small matter, but it was something which he was dis- posed to think was not necessary. Mesare, Breese, Jonxson,of La.,Maxaum, Westcott, Buicnt, and Uxverwoon, further discussed the bill: when, asit appeared to bea cene of necessity, the bili was passed, And the Senate adjourned.

On motion of Mr. Cocker, the Committee ofthe Whole was discharged from the further consideration of the resolution authorizing the Committee on Pensions to employ an additional number of clerks. ‘Mr. Coss proposed an amendment. the words “Commissioner on Pensions,”’ those of “Secre- tary of War,” as that offlcer appoints the clerks, and is responsible for the performances of their duti: Mr, A. Jonnson was not willing to vote for any resolu- tion giving an unlimited power to the head of a depart- ment, to create additional offices.

Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, advocated the amendment of Mr. Cobb, to vest the appointment of the clerks in the Secretary of War, on constitutional groun Mr. McKay alluded to the incompetency of clerks. heretofore appointed by both parties, who were much to blame for it. In his opinion, applicants for clerkships should undergo examination before entering upon the duties. Surgeons and others are examined; and wh; not clerks? He moved to postpone the further consider- ation of the resolution until Monday next, and make it the special order of the day. Mr. Cocke expressed his surprise that a simple pro- position to employ twenty-five clerks should give rise to so much discussion. He learned from his collesgue (Mr. Johnson) that the clerks were in the habit of frequenting billiard saloons, groceries, ten pin alleys, aud sii places of filth and abominations. “"r. Cocke said he had not been there, and could not ascertain whether this was #0 ot not; but he presumed that his colleague hadfrequent- ed these places himself.

Mr, Cocke wes about to reply to the remarks of Messrs. Johnson and McKay, when the Speaker remind- ed him that the question pending was to postpone to a bos certain, and that he must confine himself to this point, Mr. Cocke then expressed the hope that the re- solution would be passed to-day, and he moved the pre- vious question. But it was not seconded; and the motion of Mr McKay—to postpone the consideration of the resolution to Monday pext—was agreed to A resolution was adopted to terminate the debate on the President's message, on Wednesdsy next, at two o’clock. THY PRESIDENT’s MESSAGE—AND $0 FORTH. The House then resolved itself into a Committe of the Whole on the State of the Uaion—Mr. J. R. Ingersoll in the chatr—ond resumed the consideration of the re- solutions to refer the President's annual message to the appropriate cemmittees. Mr. Baxnow, of Tennessee, delivered his views.

But he did not offer it. However, he never gave a vote more willingly than he did’ for the smendment of Mr. Ashmun, declaring ‘hat the war was unnecessary. and unconstitutionally commenced by the President. “He gloried in it.

But now, when the townn, capital, and seaports of Mexico are in our porsersion, and che lies prostrate at our feet, the President asks Congress to increase the army, not to fifty thousand men, but to seventy-five or a hundred thousand men.

Mr. Barnow—I’ll write it out.—(Laughter ) ‘There was a contest for the floor, which was by the Chairman assigned to DEFENCE OF THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Featugwaston entered into eldent’s course on the resolution asking replied to his colleegue (Mr. Tompkins), and seid thi the President had not withheld = ion from the House which the House had a right to demand. The President had stated that Santa itted to return without any ent between . How, then, did the gentleman suppose that he can sustain th allegation? The President had communicated all the information in bis possession, and bad withheld none but that which relates to the treaty-making power. Gentlemen had all the facts n to legislation be- fors them, and to those they must look to determine the justice of the war. Washington, Monroe, and Jackson, exercised a similar course to that for which the Presi- dent is now censured ‘Aid and comfort” had been given tothe enemy by the declarations of some of our owncitisens. It wasa fact that speeches of certaia dis- tinguished gentlemen of the whig party, were, when the city of Mexico was taken, found filed away among the most important archives of the Mexican government, to be pressrved for all time, to be read by succeeding nerations. Such speeches encouraged and excited the spirit of that people. if any doubt exist of this, copious extracts from Mexican papers show that certain opin- ions here have ,bean adopted there, declaring that the war was unnecessary and unconstitutional. They were encouraged to believe that the people would not stand by the President, and that when he passed out of power, a party would succeed in obtaining the power of the government, who would give to Mexico satisfactory terms of peace. These were the impressions made on the Mexican nation. He believed that the war on our part was inevitable, and it was just. The President did all he could to avert it. Mr. Featherstone ssid he hed supposed that his collesgue would have replied to the mntleman from New Hampshire (Mr. Tuck) on the very question; but mo—he assailed the President be- oause the President was not willing to yield the public interests of the government to the interests of the whig party, and for this he was denounced as a traitor. (The honorable gentleman was notified that his hour had come, by the falling of the ohairman’s hammer.) THE PRESIDENT AGAIN UNDER THE LASH. Mr. Dixon obtained the floor. (Cries of “ Let’s rise,” “ committee rise,” ‘ oh, no.) ‘The Cuarmman—Will the gentleman yield the floor ? Mr. Dixox—I am willing to accommodate myself to the wishes of the committee. (‘ Rise,’’ “ rise.”’) The Cuainman—Gentlemen will please come to order. (Rep, rep ) Mr. Dixon—(At the request of several members)—1! give way. Mr. Pottoce moved that the committee rise. But at bec} minutes past three o’clook, the motion was disagreed Mr. Dixon, of Connecticut, proceeded to expose the mis-statements of the President as to the movement of our troops to the Rio Grande. ‘The war was either commenced by the President or by Mexico. Hence an effort was made to cause it to appear that Mexico oom- menced it, to exonerate the President. Congress was told by the Prosident in May, that “war existed.” No- pin 4 jeved that Congress commenced it. The joint lutions admitting Texas into the Union would not have been adopted if the boundary question had not been lett open. The treaty was rejeotedin the Senate for th Incipal reason that, by its adoption, Mexican soil, claimed to be American, would be annexed to our country. Texas came into the Union with the express understanding that the question of boundary was to be settled by our government with Mexico, much less for the President to take it upon himself. The President left the Oregon question to be settled by the proper au- thority, and this of the Texen boundary should have been settled in the same way He denied that the order toG neral Taylor was given after the President had re- ceived information of the final rejrotion of Mr. Slidell. days Lefore the information rove Ihe order was given s was received, (and he reterred to documents to the position.) The President gay gon, although he said our title to unquestionable,” and then took steps to make up the deficiency with a rlice of Mexico. By way of digression, Mr. Dixon alluded to the fact that a British captain was dismissed from service by the British government because he took, asa nger, G>neral Paredes to Vera Crus. “But what,” he asked, “should be done with the men who permitted to land there a far greater—Svnta Anna himeelf?”’ (Mr. Buchanan here made his appear- ance at the main door, but soon either slipped into the lobbies or out -into the rotunda] Mr Dixon re- ferred to the opinions of C. J. Ingersoll, Silas Wright, Senator Benton, snd other democrats, to show that the boundary of Texas did not extend to the Rio Grande. Much had been said about the treaty made between the Texavs and Santa Anta. Now, sup- that the President had been at the battle of Buen: the Mexicaus, making the boundary of Mexico extend to the Mississippi. Would our countrymen submit to that? Well, Santa Auna had no mere power to make # treaty with the Texans. ‘Che Mexican Congress passed a law stating that they would not consider the treaty of Santa Aana to be binding. General Jackson did not cor sider that treaty of any effect; but Mr. Polk did, and relied upon it as an argument to support his claims to the Rio Grande. Mr. Dixon, like the gentleman who preceded him, was cut short by the fall of the Speaker's hammer. The Committee rose, aad the House, journed. t 4 o'clock, ad- St. Louris, January 14, 1848. Attempted Suicide. Quute a sensation has been created in town by the attempted suicide of a wealthy citizen, Mr. John Thornton. Mental alienation was undoubt- edly the cause of the rash act, though rumors have gained circulation, and’some of them publicity, through the city papers, which would attribute the deed to an overweening fondness for money, and the chagrin growing out of unfortunate speculations. ae Mr. Thornton is worth probably half a million ot dollars; and, as is frequently the case with misers, has neither ‘child nor chick.” He lived alone, until within a short time previeus to his attempt at eelf destruction. His health de- clining, he was induced to quit his solitude and wpe of the hospitality of a neighbor’s roof. Yesterday morning, during the absence of atten- dants, he procured a bowie kaife, and inflicted, as itis thought, a mortal injury on his person. He is yet alive, but no hope is entertained for his recovery. ' We have an abundance of mud out this way, and a mail semi-occasionally. Areus, Rumors From, Mexico.—There was a good deal of stir occasioned in the sity yesterday, by sundry rumors received from the South by telegraph, of a pecifio turn to affairs in Mexico, even to an agreement to the basis of a treaty,on the condition proposed last fail by Mr. Trist. Tbe authority for the rumors was, however, too vague to inepire general confidence in it — Nat. Intelligencer, Jan. 25.
