There is, perhaps, no firmer friend of General Taylor in Congress, than Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania. The narie of the old hero is mu- sic tohis ears, ‘*As a giant refreshed with new wine,” so is he reinvigorated at the very thought of the military presidential candidate. The Allison letter has delighted him beyond measure, and his joy knows no bounds. This morning he asked leave to submit tothe House a series of resolutions, four in number, containing the very words of the aforesaid epistle. As the “Union” has laid down its platform, so Mr. Stewart desired to lay down the platform of the Myler, Pais good whig doc- trine,” as he terms it.

THIRTIETH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Wasninarox, May 4, 1848, The Senate had not long been in session, this morn- ing, when the subject came up of the expediency of extending a saving hand to the DISTRESS OF YUCATAN. Mr. Haxxroax, from the Committee on Foreign Re- lations, to which was referred, yesterday, the Presi- dent’s message and accompanying correspondence in regard to the crying distress of the white race of Yu- catan, and their dunger of extermination by the Indians, who are now slaughtering the comparatively defenceless whites, over the breadth of the country. an earnest consideration of the subject, asked to introduce a bill, which, from the pressing ne- cossities of the case, he moved be made the special or- der of the day for to-morrow. The bill is ‘An act to enable the President of the U to take temporary military occupation of Yucatan. Sec. 1. Be it enacted, &c., That the President of the United States be and he is’ hereby authorised to take temporary military occupation of Yucatan, and to em- ploy the army and navy of the United States to assist the people of Yucatan’ in repelling the incursions of the Indian savages, now overrunning and devastating that country. Sec. 2. Aud be it further enacted, That the President be, and he is hereby, authorised and empowered to fur- nish, on such terms and conditions as he may deem proper, to the white population of Yucatan, such arms, ammunition, ordnance, and other military meaus, as they may need, to enable them to resist and repel the Indian hostilities now waged against them, and to re- store peace and security to the country. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President be. and he is hereby, authorised and empowered to ac- cept the services of an equal number of volunteer troops, to supply the place of such at may be withdrawn from their present duty, by virtue of this act, provided their services shall be required; the aame to be raised for service during the war with Mexico, agreeably to the provisions of the act of May 13th, 1846, sud March 1847. DELAYS ARE DANGHROUS. Mr, Bavorr suggested that the bill be posponed till Monday. Mr. Catnoux concurred in this suggestion. Mr. Haxxnaan did not know what reason could be given for the postponement asked, while the distress of the Yucatancse cried aloud for help. An hour's de- lay was of great consequence to these suffering people— aday involved the question of their extermination from the face of the earth. Mr. Catnown thought we ought not to act too hastily inthis matter. Mr. Sierra, the Mexican Commission- er, had written to the State Department as carly as the 7th of March last, setting forth the distresses of these people. After all the delay of the Executive Depart- ment, we might at least undertake the postponement +f the bill for two or three days, until the facts in the case could be ascertained. Mr. Haxnxan referred to the President's message— to letters from our naval officers in the Gulf, confirm. ing the calamities of Yucatan. The Gulf coast was darkened by men, women, and children, flying before the Indians, and perishing from hunger, and naked and exposed to the clem They have neither subsistence nor the means of escape; and they daily expect the Indians down upon them, whoso known method of warfare is an indiscriminate slaughter, without regard to age or sex. Ho urged prompt action upon the bill. Mr. Cass—Action upon this subject, to be well done, should be specdily done. We could not have a better opportunity for the exercise of Christian humanity. This is the time to act; there is no need of delay; every man in the Senate has doubtless made up his mind for or against the bill. Let us act promptly. Let us save these suffering people, if we can. A war of extermina- tion is going on, and the white race, as we are inf ed, are monentarily expecting an attack upon their ital, whither the frightened women and children have fled for protection. Mr. Have. inquired for certain information; but was not distinctly heard. Mr. Foorr—I am extremely surprised that there should be any attempt to procrastinate this measure. Mr. Cannovn did not wish to procrastinate the action of the Senate. He only usked the delay of the conside- ration of the bill till the facts upon the subject could be examined MR. FOOTE CALLS MR. CALMOUN TO THE DAR. Mr. Foorr understood what he was about, ‘There were two parties in this Senate on this bill—one for speedy action and one for delay. I do not belong to the latter class, I regret that there should bea single doubt upon & matter like this, which directly strikes at the ho- nor of the nation, | am surprised that this delay should be. asked by the Senator from South Carolina. Last Saturday, on the receipt of the Presiden‘ts message, the Senator from South Carolina arose and declared that he wasready to act upon and grapple with this mea- sure at once. But now he asks for delay, He had ta- ken oceasion to denounce this message, and his speech had had its unfavorable influence. Instead, however. of being over hasty, wo ate over tardy in this legisla- tion ‘here was » reason for delay. Mr. Foote bore down pretty heavily upon Mr. Calhoun for his expres- sions last urday against the administration and the Mexican war. NoT TO RE Mr. Catnoun appealed After the delay of the Executive from the 7th March to the last of April we were certainly entitled to two or three days ponement of action. He was not to be i He knew how to do his duty, with or without com We had got into one rash and precipitate war. trusted that we would not be driven into anothe perhaps more complicated one. We had not a facts required to a full understanding of the subject ; and therefore it was that he desired a delay of action for at least one day NOTHING OF THY SORT INTENDED. Mr. Foorr, was surprised to hear the Senator from S. © express himself ax xupporing that there waa any at- tempt to intimidate, He was the last man in the world whom any person, knowing his fearless and indepen- dent character, would attempt to intimidate, But, sir. 1 am surprised that the Senator from South Carolina should complain of hasty action now, when he was no prompt to attack the message of the President ou Su- turday last Mr. Catnouw made a passing remark THE SPECIFICATIONS AGAINST MM. CALHOUN Mr. Foot® went on and charged that Mr. Calhoun had introduced irrelevant Saturday last, having no por Dill; and one of those suljects was Take the war, however, with expefiditures, all its los: responsible for it. But man of high ch racter, of vast experi ing talents, of un- sullied purity of life, possessed of no unchaste ambi- tion, who was ealled to the Stale Department by the last administration, (Tyler's) and who, from his bold and fearless ragem Ben accomplishing the annexation of Texas, was, perhaps, more than any other man sponsible for this war. Mr. Foote approved the co of Mr. Calhoun in the annexation of Texas. It had been done boldly, fearlessly, and in the face of menaces; and from all quarters it was predicted that the annexa- ion must result in war. Yet, sir, this great mensure Delieved to be essential to the protection of the South and to the safety of our brethren in Texas, was summated. War ensued—this Mexi senator so much denounces and d annexation was a righteous act ; but the war followed it. The war was a legacy from the administration, of which the senator from South Carolina was the prime minister. Nor was General Taylor the man to throw the responsibility of the mareh to the Rio Grande upon the administration. He was not the man to deny his own acts, The senator from South Carolina was the last man who ought to shrink from the consequences of his own most noble course upon the Texas annexa- tion. He ought to assume his share of the responsibili- ty, for it was an honorable responsibility. Mr. Foote then very searohingly animadverted upon the cold sup- which Mr. Calhoun had given to this admi- nistration—his frequent attempts to stab it in the fifth rib—on hik never having aid any thing in its pee or defence—on his standing aloof from it, and casting the weight of bis talents and influg Respecting the gon question, the quired much ii annex Texas, and this war resulted from it, could it ccedingly discursivy: course it had taken, was got out of order. red some consideration in connection morrow, Indians marehing upon Merida, the eapltal of Yuestan, and there were only some 2000 whites t! and the Indians were expected to be up in a few days. sent in their places.

He had given the ad- it on the tariff, on other mea- ration, when right, and no farther. annexation, his course upon that question he had never regretted and never should regret. It was an act of necessity. All the friends of the measure, Mr. Polk included, took the ground that it was no just cause of war. The charge alone that it had brought on this war was calculated to cast discredit upon it. He denied that the annexation of Texas was the cause of the war. Mr, Foorr explained that he had not said so; but cited the circumstances growing out of it, or conse- quent upon it, as resulting in the war. Mr. CaLnows would decide upon his own judgment, noton the judgment of the Senator from Mississippi He denied emphatically that the war grew out of the annexation, He was ina situation to know all about it, and did know all about it. War was avoided in the act, and he knew that after the settlement of the Ore- justment of the Mexican difficul- ties would be easy. Indeed, it réquired, after the Ore- n settlement, a great deal of mismanagement to Bring on the Mexican war. He might say. that it re- enuity to devise the war. if he did be- lieve that the administration supposed there would be no war, and that the unfortunate march to the Rio Grande would not bring on the war. He would scorn himself, if he could be induced even to act in his pub- lic duties upon any considerations of mere personal enmity or friendship to any administration. MK. HALE BRINGS IN THE SLAVERY QUESTION. Mr. Hate was glad of this discussion. It had elicit- ed some further testimony that this war was brought on by a measure, the object of which was the protec- tion and propagation of slavery; and hereafter, he ad- monished the Songtor from Mississippi, he might bring him up asa witness that the war was the result of the annexation of Texas, and the object of the annexation of Texas was the protection of the rights of the South. Mr. Foor explained, that although the war did fol low the annexation, that act did not necessarily pro- duce the war; there were other circumstances and other causes co-operating with it. Mr. Hate insisted that not only bad the Senator from Mississippi, but the Senator from Tennessee, (Mr. Turney.) declared the annexation to be the cause of the war, and that the author of the annexation was the author of the war—that the measure was for the protection of the rights of the South, which we all know to mean the protection of slavery. I wish the Senator from Mississlppi to say if we ate not now engaged in an unjust and. aggressive forpiga war for the protec- Hon aud sustentation of slavery. Mr. Footr: could not suffer himself to be thus repre- ‘The war was a defensive war against the ag- rassive acts of Mexico. Mr. Webster, foi spopch, had declared our right to the annexation of Texas. How, then, ifwe had the lawful right to be called an aggrossive war ? Mr. Hate persisted in his opinions, and was pro- coedtng in his views upon the slavery question, when Mr. Wastcorr raised a point of order. t said the debate had been ex- but that the Senator, from the Vice Pugsi Mr, Hare resumed. He had no fuars of the conso- quene his bill, oven if annexation should follow; Unless the constitution of Yucatan, which totally in- terdicted slavery, should be mateyially altered. Tho Senator from South Carolina had charged all the cala- nities of Yucatan to their abolition of this high and blessed institution of slavery, and hence, perhaps, his caution in going to their defenee. Mr. ‘Hale argued, however, that our present relations with Mexico Fequl- ith this bill, and that we should sce to it, while we acted from the dictates of humanity, we were not influenced by the selfish spirit of territorial aggrandizement. As the Senator from Mississippi was for the moment out of sight, Mr. Hal of poetry, (Laughter.) and he would recommond that jc said he would venture upon a quotation we do not, like the hypocrite, while we with one hand Put a shilling in the box of penury’ Mr. Bapcer—* Put a penny in the box of charity.”” Mr. Ha h, y « With one hand, He put a penny in the box of charity, And with the other took a shilling out.”” MR, CAss TO THE RESCUR. Mr. Cass roplied rapidly to Mr. Calhoun. The reason why the administration had not acted sooner in calling the attention of Congross to Yucatan, was that the cabinet had been engaged in. collect information upon which to act. Now that it was here, there was no further cause of delay. Mr. Cass then proceeded to the defence of the administration on the subject of the war, pursuing the old ground of defence, to wit, the provocations of Mexico, and the rights of nations to carry a war into an enemy's country when provoked intoa war by the quently interrupted by qu Mr. Calhoun, who maintained that what might been proper as an act of C as an act of the Executive; and that the Execut crossing into disputed territory, admitted to be such by the necessary gress was an usurpation ve, in the resolutions of annexation. had transcended his au- thority, had given offence for war, had brought it on by that act.and was responsible for {t. Mr. Calhoun thought it looked bad for the defenders of the adminis- tration that whenever an opinion was expressed against it as to the origin of the war, they should deem it ne- cessary to enter into a long argument, as if they felt the full force of the accusation. Hehad only at first expressed an opinion. Jt was not nocessary that they should do any thing more. FORTY THOUSAND INDIANS ON THE MARCH. Mr. Hawnecan pleaded for action upon the pill to- Yo time ought to be lost. There were 40,000 re to defend it, OLD SPEECHES, Mr. Nixes was afraid we were to have all those old Texas and war speeches over again, judging from the beginning of this debate, He thought, therefore, some- thing would be gained, even in expedition, by post- poning the bill's few days. It would give Senators an opportunity to prepare new speeches, and to get at a full understanding, so as to act promptly upon this bill, Mr. Catnoun moved to postpone the bill till Saturday, Lost, 12 to 17. moved to postpone its consideration till M 15 to 21 The motion of the Committee was then agreed to, and the bill was made the special order for to-morrow.

Mr. H contended that the only way by which she could be kept out of Yucatan and Cuba, was promptly to take a strong position ofremonatrance in that quarter, as proposed by thiss bill. Mr, Hannegan did not consider there was any danger of our being driven into & national debt like that of Great Britain or France. Nor could there be any possible cause for appre- hension of annexation of Yucatan from this act of humanity, except in a contingency where, at all events, such an alternative will be required for our own protection against Sedge encroach. ments. Mr. H. next exportiated upon the new inter- vention doctrine of Mr. Monroe, and argned that in its declaration a solemn doctrine of practical policy wasintended, and not a mere abstraction, Some conversation here took place between Mr. Cal- houn and Mr. Hannegan, pending which Mr. CLayron rose to the examination of the subject, and said that the bill transcended the recommenda- tions of the Executive. Mr. Hanng@an proposed to read from the message, and with the assent of Mr. Clayton read an extract suggesting the temporary military occupation of Yuca- tan, as being dizeotiy consonant and equivalent to the provisions of the bi Mr. Craytox took @ different view of the bill. It proposed a more decided and more permanent occupa- tion in form than the recommendations of the execu- tive. He also objected to the bill, because it conflicts with the Mexican armistice—it was calculated to ope- rate against the treaty; and moreover, there was no telling what military force it would require to subdue 450,000 Indians. ‘The Florida war with afew Seminoles had cost us something. He wanted more light, more information. Bosides, he did not wish to see a new question of annexation spring up upon the eve of a Presidential campaign. If weract, at. all for the relief of Yucatan, it ought to be with the assent and co-ope- ration of Mexico, considering our present relations with that republic. Mr. Jervexson Davis, in a forcible and pointed re- view of the case, argued the necessity of the bill, upon the broad ground of the rights of the United States asa belligerent with Mexico. If the necessity should ever arlae, he was ready promptly to interpose againd} ony foreign designs upon Yucatan or Cuba. But it was not necessary to anticipate either the hazards of an- nexation, or of foreign intervention for the possession of Yucatan. The immediate question was the despatch of a military force sufficient for the occupation of Yu- catan as a part of Mexico; and this could be done under the authority which we hold as a belligerent, under the laws recognising the war with pees Davis was frequently cross-questioned by Mr. Clayton, in the course of his remarks; but the former did not ybandon & hair of the positions assumed in defence of the object of the bill, and tho strictly suthorised re- bommendations of the message of the President. M: Davis said, in reply to an observation of Mr. Ha: negan, that he did’ not helieye the British govern- ment could be held responsible for the furnishing of the Tower muskets to the Indians of Yucatan, He thought the difficulty could be easily © plained. The three great captains of the world were wsar,and Napoleon. The great secret of was celerity of movement. Great Britain had profited from the results of their experience; and with a view to celerity of movement, she liad been con- stantly reducing the weight of her arms. Hence the old heavy tower muskets had been condemned many years ago by the British government, and sold at auction. They were bought by speculators, or taken out by Bri- tish vessels, gnd those old tower muskets are now to be found over all Central and South America ; and in thi way they have doubtless found their way among the Indians of Yucatan. My. Haxxecan said there was a British depot of these arms at the Balize. Mr. Jerrenson Davi 8, sir, but they are not fur- nished by the British government, or they would bear the imprint of the present arsenal. They were old arms, the old tower muskets, and those used by the Mexi- cons against usin this war Bear the old stamp of the tower, In conclusion, MP, Davis moved to strike out the substance of the original bill. and to substitute a simple provision, authorising the Prosident to take m litary occupation of Yucatan, and to replace, by'volun- teers if necessary, the troops required for the said oecupation. Mr. Haxnzoan asked under what authority the Pre- sident would act according to this amendment ? Mr. Davie said it would be under authority of the powers connected with the existing war. Yucatan was ‘8 part of Mexico, and under the laws of war, we could extend our posts of military occupation all over Mexico, Mr. Urnam asked if there was not already an existing authority to the President for 12,000 volunteers ? Mr. Davis explained that there were, perhaps, yacai cies in the yolunteer regiments, which would amount to an aggregate of 12.000 men; but it was almost impos- sible to recruit volunteers to fill vacancies invexisting regiments, > The object, too, of the bill and the amend- ment was apparent. It was to take the seasoned troops, who have become acclimated to the exposures and hardships of a soldier's life in the tropics, and transfer them to Yucatan, filling up their vacanoies, if required, with volunteers, As'for the legality of this proceeding, it was authorized by the conditions in the armistice existing between Mexico and the United States. d itrENoEN thought that all that was really de- signed by this bill was an increase of the military forco, for which object this particular bill was not necessary ‘The Chairman on Military Affairs had been laboriously —slowly to be sure, but laboriously—marching forward his new force of 20,000 volunteer: Sass— (Shaking his head)—Very slowly. (Laugh- Mr. Crrtrexpen—Very slowly, to be sure, but still they are on the forward march, (laughter,) and if the regular bills, or any of them, for the increase of the military force in Mexico, should be passed, there will he no necessity for this special act. The Senator from Minsisstpp! had placed the ground of hls support of this measure upon the existing war, and asan authorized movement ina state of war; but how could this be done, pending the armistice with Mexico ? Mr. Jerri said, that the proposed military occupation mdicated, aud would be found be authorized by the terms of the armistice itself, am cited one of the terms of the armistice in proof. Mr. Currtexpex thought that clause was intended to apply to another state of contingencies, to which Mr. Davis assented ; but claimed its applicability in this case under a full construction. Mr. Crittenpes, in his usual strong and forcible manner, argued against the bill. We wanted more light. more information. How would this movement effect the treaty which was believed now to be in pro- cess of ratification—what would be its effect if the treaty were ratified? how would it affect the armistice? Nor did he beli the plea of humanity was sufficient for this act. The precedent of interfering in the al fairs of other nations by an avowed occupation on tl plea of bumanity, might be made the justification of the most atrocious aggressive wars by ourselves and by other nations, if we admit the pl nd set the exam- ple. One of our safest doctrines was, the doctrine of non-interference in the domestic affairs of foreign nations. That doctrine alone will be competent to save us in our turn from foreign invasion in ca: of domestic difficulties. Besides we had only heard one side of the question. We were without any information at all on the other side. He would act now as we acted in the case of the insur- rection in Guatemala sow ty would stand aloof. and let these peopl quarrel. Carera arose at the head of the Indians of Guatemala, put down the existing government of the Spanish race, established one of hix own, and under which he is still the head ; and it is as good, or a bet- ter government than that which was displaced. Thix was a destructive war in Yucatan. It was natural that it should be #0 between two races, one of which had worn the galling yoke of bondage of the other for three hundred years, After three hundred years of oppres- sion, it was natural that the vengeance of the abori- gines of Yucatan, should be bloody and merciless in the extreme against the race which had been so long their oppressors. But if we should resolve upon this armed oceupation, what force would it require, and how long should we have to keep it up? The Indians will fly to the bushes on our approach. How long shall we have to wait for them to come out? And if we wait till the: entirely withdraw, how long shall we have to stay? Wiil not an armed occupation be inevitable? We may Te- store peace, and maintain it while we occupy the coun- try; but will not the same trouble between the two races be renewed th: moment we withdraw our troops? How many men will this armed occupation require? how much money and how long will it have to be maintain- ed? We cannot answer these questions, There were yet other and unforseen contingencies that deserved attenti Mr. Crittenden, for half an hour, continued his presentation of obstacles to the passage of the bill, the more prominent points of which we have given in this paragraph Mr. Jevrenson Davis called the attention of Mr. Crittenden to the existing armistice, and his objections pe the bill because of its interference with said armi: tiee. Mr. Critrenpes explained Mr. Davis considered all difficulties on the subject of the armistice removed, by onc of its exceptions to the general raspension of arms. That exception was the article providing that the forees of either party might be employed under the armistice in repelling incursions of the wild Indians into the Mexican settlements, Un- der this article our forces had been ployed in the north. There is another article which authorizes the employment of armed forces against Indians in arms. Either the one or the other, if not both of these excep- tions on the armistice, will directly sanction the pro- posed armed occupation of Yucatan. Mr. Footer next followed in vindication of the bill, and of the administration, and its message. The Sen tor from South Carolina (Mr. Calhoun) would hav given the measure his support, on the broad ground of humenity, were there not other and paramount ret sons against it. The Senator from Kentucky says that the plea of humanity is not a valid plea in this in- stance, and argues with his great ability to prove it— so that between the two Senators, the administration has no hope of eseape. Mr. Foote, however, was sur- prised at thegcourse of the Senator from Kentucky on thie question of humanit What but humanity was the plea of his bill at the fast € ‘ongress, for the rellef of the starving people of Ireland, that measure s0 elo- qnently advocated by the Senator on this floor. There was the great distinction, in ita great object of saving human life, between the one measure and the other. Mr, Foote spoke with energy, earnestness and ability. in support of the bill in every view of the subject. When he had concluded, and after some conversation, On motion, the bill was laid informally aside for the day. Several’ messager were reported by Mr. J. Knox Walker, in writing from the President, one of which communicates further correspondence in reference to rise. A conversation took place as to the meaning of the rules, manded by a dozen members. at The Valparaiso Merew mandant had rece! of custome and the por officers of the Ballivian administration, which left office in consequence of the republican rmovement in favor of Gen, Velasco—had taken passage on board the ship Chili, —Boston Advertiser, ‘asHINaToN, May 5, 1848, PORTRAIT OF BARON DE KALB. ‘The Srraxer laid before the House a letter from Wil- Mam Brent, stating that he has just received from Robert Walsh, Consul at Paris, a portrait of Baron De Kalb, a his ‘iving relatives to the government of and asking the action of Congress in the premises ‘The letter was referred to the Committee on the Li- brary. MILEAGE, Mr. Houses, of New York, asked leave to submit # re- solution—that the Committee on Mil inquire into the propriety of allowing to members of Congress such necessary expenditures as may;be just, in coming to and going from the Capitol, instead of the amount now paid (eight dollars for every twenty miles. There were objections interposed in several diroc- tions, THE ATFORM—OLD ZACK'S POLITICAL PRINCIPL! OUSE ASKED TO ENDORSE TH Mr. Stewant, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to offer the following resolutions, which wore read for informa- tion, viz : 1. Resolved, That “ the power given by the Constitu- tion to the Executive to in ¢ his veto, is a high con- nervative power, which should never be exercixed except in cases of clear violation of the constitution or manifest haste and want of consideration by Congress.” [“ Ho! Ho ! That's Taylor's Letter.””} 2. Resolved, That “the personal opinions of the indivi- dual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action of Congress upon ques- tions of domestic policy, nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power have beon settled by the various departments of yo- vernment, and acquiesced in by the people.’ 3, Resolved, That “upon the subject of the tariff, the currency, the improvement of our great highways, ri- vera, lakes and harbors, the will of the people, as express- cd through thelr represontatives in Congress, ought to be respected and carried out by the Executi 4, Resolved, That ‘war, at all times and under all cir THE cumstances, is a national calamity, to be avoided if compatible with nadignal honor ; that the principles of our government, Il ax its true policy, are opposed to the subjugation of other nations and the anber- ment of other countries by conquest ; for in the lan- guage of the great Washington, ‘why should we quit our own to stand on foreign ground.””” Mx.

As usual, on such occasions, there was not a full attend- ance of members. The House went into Committee of the Whole. ‘The Sreaxer—Will the gentleman from South Caro- lina (Mr. Woodward) please take the chair? Mr. Woopwano (rising)—I confess, sir, that I know nothing of the ruler, and 1 think 1 nover shall. (Ha! r. Hunter (to Mr. Woodward)—Neyer tag old to learn, Woodward. Mr. Woopwann (satta voce)—I'd never learn in a thousand year ‘The Spvaxer—Will the gentleman from Toxas take the chair? Mr, Kavrmax agsented, and took the seat as chair- man of the committee. Mr. Rocxweut, of Connecticut, stated that reports gecompanying some of the private bill had not yet been printed, and therefore he suggested that the com- mittee go to the beginning of the calendar. Other gen- tlemen wished to commence somewhere cle; and Mr. J. Thompson desired the committee to rise. ' After an interchange of views, it was discovered that a quorum did not vote. Tho roll was called, and the committee rose. ‘The Sreaxen (having resumed the chair)—A quorum has beeu discovered on calling the rol ‘Mr. Sreriens—Should not the names of the absen- tees be reported to the House? The Srraxxx—The names have not heretofore been be read. Mr. Ficxtax—The names ought to be read. Mr. SturHens—That is what I want. Mr. Rocxwsut, of Connecticut—I object. The Srraxen—A member has aright to call for the reading of thapames of tho absentees. The Clerk rad the na The Sreaxen—There ise quorum, Mr. Kavrman again took the chair as the presiding officer of the committee. Mr. J, THomrsox desired to know whether the bills were to be taken up at the beginning of the calendar. Mr. Dickey objected to this. He desired the busi- ness to commence where it was left off. A brief conversation ensued; and finally the com- mittee began to dispose of the bills at the place where Atleft off when the calendar was last under “considera- tion. No-debate was permitted. A simple “ I object,”” was sufficient to cause any bill. the contents of which were read, to lie over until “a more convenient season.” motion was made and carried that the committee Sall the roll, call the roll, The Cuainmax—The Committee is without a quorum. (“ Call the roll. Mr, Hextev—The Committee did not find itself with- out aquorum. The Chair found it without a quorum. He so decided. T /Hainman explained (amid cries of “Call the was de- e C roll,”’ and “ Order, order”’), and said that the Commit- tee could rise without a quorum. Several questions of order were raised, and disposed of, when Mr. Steruens insisted that the roll be called (to dia- cover the absenteer). The Sreaxrr, at this point, came in, and resumed the chai Mr. Kavrman (the Chairman) reported to the House that the Comumittce had found itself without a quorum. Mr. Vintox—It is evidont that the House will do no businoss, and I therefore move that we adjour: Mr. Rocxwst, of Connecticut—I hope,not; 8 num- ber of private bills were acted on; let thera be parsed. Mr. Bowxix—We can do nothing without a quorum. ‘The Srxaxen called the House to order. Mr. Kavrman roported five bills from the Committee, and that the Committee had found itself without a quorum, The Sreaxer remarked that if the gentleman re- ported the committee as rising without » quorum, he must report the namos of the absentees, Mr. Kavrmax—A majority decided to rise. The bills were passed; and, unable to do anything for private claimants, the House, at # quarter past one o'clock, adjourned, Baxrimors, May 6, 1848. Adjournment of the Medical Association—Dr. Roberts- Turner's Lease—Duel at Annapolis, $c. ‘The medical convention. yesterday morning, adjourn- ed sine die. after © most barmonious session, having transacted all the important business before them. The chair announced the committee on hygieno ; also the delegation to visit tho British Medical Associn- tions, as follows :—Dr. Wood, of Philadelphia; Dr. Bige- low. of Boston; Dr. Maguire, of Winchester, Va. The officers were authorised to fucrease the dolegation to twelve, Dr. Horxixs offered resolutions proposing the appoint- ment of a board of examiners belonging to the associn- tion, to confer certain degrees, &e. They were referred. Dr. Stitux. of Philadelphia, took the opportunity to offer a resolution returning the thanks of the associa- tion to the committee of arrangements, to the commit- tee of reception, and to the faculties of the Washington Medical Colloge and Maryland University, for the man- ner in which the members of the association had bee received and entertained in this city, &e. The resolu- tion was unanimously adopted. Dr. Jacxson, of Philadelphia, proposed to refer to the committee on hygiene the subject of the too great use of coffee and tea, and whether disease is not engendor- ed thereby, which was agreed to. Dr. Dunaan, of Baltimore, read a communication recommending that memorials of the worthy dead of the profession be procured and published with the mi- nutes of the proceedings. The communication was from Dr. 8. Williams, of Deerfield, Mass, Dr. Dunbar proposed an alteration of the constitution, to have ap- jointed a xtanding committce on American Medical History and Biography, which was received for consid- eration at the next meeting of the association Before adjourning, the association adopted the usual complimentary resolutions, and Dr. Roberts, of Balti- more, chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, on behaifof himself and the Baltimore family, bid a mort affectionate adieu to his brethren. Dr. R. was a decided favorite with the members of the convention, as he is wherever he s known. Although weighing about 300 pounds, and being some sixty years of age, he attends to an immense practice, proaches two or three sermons every Sunday, and not only endeavors to heal the bodily ailments of his patients, but prepares their souls for another world if medicine should fail to keep them Tho Governor has cousented to the removal of Rich- ard J. Turner from Anne Arundel Jail to the jail of Baltimore County. He was brought up this evening. It will be remembered that he was formerly book-keeper in the Mechanics Bank, and defrauded that institution of about $50,000. I learn from Annapolis that « duel was fought this morning between two of the midshipmen at the United States naval academy. They were both of them more frightened than hurt. | shall endeavor to got the par- ticulars of the affair for my next.

The leading article of the Mercury, of the latest dato, is devoted to an argument in favor of a removal of the xeat of government from Santiago to Valparaiso. Pexu.—The minister of Paz Soldan had resigned, we are told, in consequence of some misanderstanding with the President. Don Matias Leon has been chosen in his place. as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Pitt Adams, the British minister, had returned to Callao, in the Sampson, The Peruvian government had not received the ext communication, in which he announced his mission.

Other papers have endorsed our state- ment, and are willing to do equal justice to the whole matter; but the Traveller treats the affair as a joke, and in the plenitude of his own wisdom, argues that Mr. Bruce is one of those “ superstious personages, who has been gulled and made a dupe of by an igno- rant woman.

So far then ix correct; now if this writer in the 7raveller can comprehend the iuystery of a mouretrap, he must believe one of two things! either that Mrs, Freeman made this strange revelation while in the sublime state galled mosmerisn, which, according to the principles of psychology con- necta the immortal part of man with the divinity, or that Mrs. Freeman had a knowledge of the fute of the long lost son, After the burial of young Bruce in Westford, Mr. Bruce, the father, will declare under the solemnity of an oath, that he again consulted Mrs. Faeman, and that rhe then made the statements which have xo startled the weak nerves of the Traveller, and turned his brain, viz., that young Bruce was led’ to a human slaughter house—the name and date and location are now in pos- session of Mr. Bruce—where he was inhumanly mur- dered, the names of the murderers being also’ in the hands of Mr. B., and the manner of gccomplishing the awful deed we have stated This part of the recital is now to be investigated, and Hope, of Providenee, befure re cccurred in Magdalena Hay, Lower.
