The Senate. after inner, met agai for di the afternoon recess, of two hours at six P.M. On motion cf Mr. Benton, the bill was taken up pro- viding for the adjudication and payment of claims against the Mexican government, payable according to the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by the govern- ment of the United States. Mr, Branton moved to amond the bill by providing that the Secretury of the Treaeu: guch awards or parts of such a shail only pay ‘ae shall have been approved by both Amcrican commissioners.— ‘The treaty limite the claims on Mexico to three mil- lions and @ quarter.

Mr_ Badger, Mr. Underwool, Mr. Johanson, of La., and Mr. Phelps, eentinued the explanation of the mysteries of these Mexican claims, for » hour und a- balf longer. Mr. R. Jonson moved to smend, by providing that these claims shal! be paid, as nd to be due, under the provisions of the 1th article of the treaty with Mexico. Mr. Carron objected to this. The $3 250,000 of the treaty. would not pay the amount of all our claims. Rejected, 12 to 24. Mr. Bancen moved to strike out the interest pro- posed to be allowed, Mr. Burien (aside]—Whoee that emoking Mr. Antex spoke in opposition to the payment of the claims at this time. Mr. Dayton, Mr. Johnson of La., and Mr. John Davis, further extended the scope of the general argu- mentation on the claims, ‘This bill embraces a most complex question or two of law, and when the old lawyers of the Senate chase up a legal question, they seldom know when to stop. ‘As Mr. Foote would say, the lawyers of the Senato are most astute end profound in explication of the com- plexities of the law. Mr. R. Jonson moved to strike out the second ses- tion providing that the claims shall be reported by the commissioner, ec , and to insert that the amount re- ported shall be paid,&c. Agreed to—3l to 7. ‘ Mn. Kine moved to strike out the eight section, which provides that the adjudicated claims should be paid immediately by the Treasury, and substitute an article similar to a provision with the goverement of Naples, (issuing of US. stock to the claimants after the expences of commission, Mc. is taken out.) Car- ried without a division Mr. Revenvy Jounson moved to provide for the re- covery of claims in Couris of Equity, as in other simi- larecases Agreed to Other amendments were ey some were agreed to, and others were rejected. and at length, after a pro- tracted, and toa mind not versed in w.c inexplicabi- lities of the law. a most unyesolvable, legal discussion, the bill was reported, and the amondments made, con- curred ip, And the bill was psssed ; and as passed, we understand it to provide that a Board of Commissioners shall be appointed to examine these Mexican claitis, sil of them, und to report the amount entitled to pay- ment, and whether it be five,six or ten millions, the three and aquarier millions of the treaty shall be di- vided pro rata amon: the claimants ; thatis, the sum limited shal! be divided among the claimants, like the assets of a bankrupt among his creditors. POST ROUTE BILL. After several efforts by several Senators, to take up several bills, Mr. Dicxixsox succeeded in taking up the Post Route bill, which was in'the verge of its passage at the recess. Mr. Aru»rron moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Kino objected to the bill, and the vast number of new post routes laid out in Texas, Louisiana, Florida and elsewhere. as he supposed without the recommen- dation of the Postmaster General, BR or plece: of Louisiana, vigorously defended the bill. Mr. Hovsrox earnestly seconded M: Johnson, and appealed that Texas was sutering for want of mail fa- cilties. Mr. Downrs objected to the refined taste of the gen- tleman from Alabuma (Mr. King). He objected to every thing, sir, 1 protest against it, sir; for, if we regard his opposition, we shall not get « ‘single bill through. We ought not to be guided by the fastidious taste of the gentleman from Alabama, for he objects to everything. (Ha, ba, ha!) Mr. Niuxs—I shall go for the postponement. sir. The Senate, it appears to me, have not been in the dispo- sition for careful legislation to-day or they would not have agreed to the amendment respecting the weekly newrpapers. which will take a very important amount from the receipts of the department. Mr. Dioxixsox—I sball vote against the postpone- ment, for | believe we can strike that amendment out, and make a zespectable bill of it yet. Mr Westcott rose for information; but would per- sist in his amendment, allowing weekly papers to go free of postoge within the limits of the State where they are published. Mr. Dicxinson—That is the very thing which I wish to strike out. ‘The motion to postpone the bill was lost. Mr. Dickinson wished to move a reconsideration of a clause of the bill, and in doing so entered into a history of the progress of the bill whilst in committee. He (Mr. D.) considered the proposition of the Senator from Florida (Mr. Westcott) wrong. The proposition to permit country newspapers to travel fr. ¢ of postage for thirty miles was a different affair. A country newspaper seldom atains a circulation of over four or five hundred. This would not lumber up the mails. But if you extend it to the whole State, you bring in the newspapers of the cities, and augaent the postal service. As to the working being unequal, the whole system was £0. Mr, Lewss, sotto roce—Why it's raining in here, (This was at ten o'clock, and the remark, as my paper proves, was perfectly correct. A violent storm Faging ootside, and the windows being open in the dome over the chandelier. the rain is pouring in.] This difficulty having been got over. __ The question was taken on a reconsideration of the vote on the Senator from New Hampshire's motion, as amended by Mr. Westcott, which was carried before the recess this afternoon (allowing weekly newspapers to free) which was agreed to. Amendment again fore the Senate. ‘The clause was read, which provides that weekly newspapers shall go free in the State in which they are printed. It was introduced by Mr. Westcott. Mr. Dickisson proposed to amend the amendment of the Senator from Florids by limiting the extent to which weekly newspapers can circulate, to fifty miles from the place in which they are printed, or within the county. This amendment was made under the belief that the amendment of the Senator from Florida would encumber the mail, and render the system more expensive than it is at present. ir. Nr expressed himself favorable to the amend- ment, but he considered the system ought to be taken as a whole. and not fractiona’ nb He would, however, yote for the amendment of the Senator from New York, notwithstanding the general proposition on the subject of postage, which was submitted by the com- mittee and negatived. Mr. Burien was willing to strike out the Senator from Florida's amendment, but he certainly was not willing te vote for the amendment of the Senator from New York. The question was taken on Mr. Dickin- son’s amendment, which was lost. The question then recurring on Mr. Westcott's amendment, to allow weekly newspapers to go free of postage all over the State in which they a e printed, Mr Urnam moved an amendment to the amendment to allow semi-weekly newspapers a similar privilege, which was negatived. ‘The question was then taken on Mr. Westcott's amendment The Cuain—It is carried ! A Voice—Oh, no! (Ha! he! ha!) A discussion bere arose as to what wae the question, which appeared to be a puzzler; without elucidating it, the was read a third time, and ordered to be en- grossed. On enquiry we find that everything was stricken out allowing newspapers to go free. Mr Westcott moved to tage up a bill. A division was called fer. Mr. Brrcen—What, sir, is it toadjourn’? (Ha! ha!) Mr. Haxsecax—Oh, no; not for an hour yet. [The bill, as passed, provides for the establishment of certain post routes in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, lowa, Wisconein and elsewhere, and provides that newspapers and other inted matter shall be charged one cent per ounce. The newrpapers to be charged at this rate where they exceed a given number of equare inches. Amid the confusion of the proceed- ings upon the bill, this was what we understood it to be. Newspapers do not go free. In this respect the law is not touched as it exists. The Committees of Conference on the appropriation bills have been very busy all day. On motion of Mr. Hannrcan, the Senate went into Executive session. House of Kepresentatives. Wasnineton, August 11, 1848.

The question now recurred on the reconsideration of the vote 4 which the bill was passed; and it was decided in the affirmative—yeas 97, nays 67. Mr Srvart. of Michigan, said that this was the most unexpected thing that he dreamed could n. A gentleman from the South (Mr. Gayle) got up and charged Northern men with creating a distinction be- tween the North and the South, when the Southern bill was defeated by Southern votes. He would ask what men gets up and secks on this occasion to create distinctions between the North and the South, when Southern men killed their own bill. Mr. Burnt—Witl you point out one Southern mem- ber, who has changed his vote on this bill? Mr. Stewart. sve not been catechising this House, nor counting heads, nor sounding opinio but I state the fact, and dare any Southern gentleman to deny it, that Southern votes did not lay the South- ern bill on the table.

Mr Kino—Unquestionably: (Ob, no!" “ Oh, no |"? couldn't do it '") Sivanr—I can’t permit this sort of discussion to come ont of my time At half past three, the House took & recess for two ing opinions, but I know a. assert, without fear of successful con- | tradiction, that this government would never inquire what the State bas done with the land. Mr. Stuur said that he did not wish to create ex- citement on this floor. Mr. Hiz.tiskp propounded several inquiries, to which Mr. Srvant responded, but there was so much noise that we could not bear what was said. There was much excitement when this subject was taken up, but it reemed now to be on the decrease. Mr. Hentveaid that he voted against the Southera bill, and gave his reasons therefor Mr Gavue repeated that it was strange that the Southern bill was killed and the Northern bill was assed. He believed that the defeat was to be attri- Butea to the gentieman from Ohio (Mr. Vinton). Soutbern men voted against it. If all of the Alabama delegation had vo'ed for it, the bill would have passed. Mr. Bownern, of Alabama, said the reason why he voted against it was, it would have the effeet of in- creasing the price of the public lands to the settlers, Mr. Hovstow, another member from that State, wished to give, bis reasons. The previous question had been moved, and he could not. He made the at- tempt to be heard, but his voice was drowned in calls to © order,” “ order.” The result of the matter was, that the Michigan Canal bill, like the Southern Railroad bill, was laid upon the table, by a vote of—yeas 81, nays 77. And at a quarter to ten o'clock, the House adjourned Intelligence from Mexico. (From the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 2] The steamship Fanny, Capt. Scott, arrived yester- day from Vera Cruz the 27th ult. Her advices from the capital are to the 22d—four days later than we had reviously received. The news is important, but may Be tola in a few words—our restricted limitsand the pressure of news from other quarters would constrain ‘us to be briet. Official and private letters received in the city of Mexico, by express from Guanajuato, announce that on the 18th ult. the troops of Busta te gained an impertant triumph over the insurgents, Gen. Minon | submitted a plan of attack, which was approved. The attack was made and the principal points defended by the insurgents carried. . 4 Father Jarauta was made prisoner, and in obedience to orders of the War Department he was immediately | shot. When he was apprised of his approaching exe- | cution, he demanded an interview with Gen. Minon, in which he represented to him that Paredes had in his bands several prisoners, all of whom would be shot were the life of his second in command to be taken. He tried other means of enving his life; but the orders of the Department were too positive, and were carried rigidly inte execution. It is represented that this act of justice has entirely disconcerted Paredes and his followers; but this comes to us froma Government source. The official despatches mention that the scoundrel Jarauta partook of the last sacraments of the church prior to fisgdenth, with extreme fervor. His remains were buried with the honors of war due to his rank, Bustamente entered the city of Guanajuato the ove- ning of the 18th, without encountering any resistance, ‘as the forces of -he insurgents were already dispersed, their leaders having concealed themeelyes as soon as they heard of the execution of Jarauta. A few pri- soners were made, but none of them of note, all the principals having escaped save Jarauta. The Govern- ment is urged to the utmost diligence to ferret out the fugitives, that they may be brought to strict account for their treazon. ‘The latest despatch from Bustamente is dated the 10th. In it he says that Paredes, with a few atten- dants, fled early in the action, and that he had des- atebed troops in pursuit of him, A body of troops ad been ordered to Lagos,and another to Aguas Ca- lientes, to arrest Paredes, if possible, and to hold in check any who might be disposed ‘still to assist his waning fortunes, Capt. Scott, of the Fanny, informs | us that when he left Vera Cruz, a report was current there that Paredes had been taken, and would be shot. We think the rumor doubtful, ‘We have before us Minon’s plan of attack and Bus- tamente’s despatches; but our readers would derive | little satisfaction from their perusal, They will be able to judge of the desperate nature of the conflict | between the government troops and the insurgents, when we inform them that on the part of the former | three men were killed, and eight wounded. Tho papers of San Luis give accounts of successes obtained over the Cathe Indians,near the hacienda of Tapanco, on the 12th ult. A body of 400 were de- feated, with a loss of thirty killed in battle, and some | prisoners were made, who were immediately shot. ‘There isa letter in the Monitor from Upper Califor- nia, which represents that territory as execedingly flourishing, now that it has ceased to belong to Mex- ico. The number of deputies to the Congressin Mex- ico not being sufficient to constitute a quorum, the government had resolved upon the substitutes to take the oaths of office. ‘A letter from Durango, dated June 23d, says :— « There are 800 soldiers here, and among them 300 or 4CO American deserters. Gen. Urrea is commandant. ‘There are 800 or 1000 Indians in the State,who are marching on the c'ty of Durango, and the inhabitants are much alarmed, the Indians having cut off commu- nications by the roads.”” ‘The papers announce the death inthe city of Mex- ico, on the 1Pth, of John Henderson, a British subject, who had resided there many years and accumulated a large fortune. Still Later from Mexico, (From the N O. Crescent. August 4] By the arrival of the steamship Portland, Capt. Place, at an early hour this morning, we are in receipt of fall files of Mexican papers ; but the hour prevents us giv- ing any extracts. We ate indebted to a particular friend for the following letter, containing a summary of news. It will be seen that Riley, the deserter. true to his treacherous instincts, has deserted the government of Herrera. ‘A gentleman who came passenger in the Portland, informs us that Gen. Smith may be expected to-day or to-morrow. on board the Alabama. The castle of San Juan de Ulloa was deiivered up at 10 o'clock, on the morning of the Slst. in a!l probabili- ty, to the Mexican authorities. Our able correspondent “ Chaparral,” with the with- drawal of the American troops, closes his Mexican mis- sion. He has been with the army’from the first call of Gen. Taylor for reinforcements, up to the striking of our flag at the castle of San Juan. Vera Cavz, July 30, 1848. The latest dates from the city of Mexico are to the 20th instant. The most important news from the inte- rior is that Colonel Riley had pronounced at Guada- lupe, against the Government. and in favor of Parades, for which be was to receive fifty thor dollars, Al- though his scheme was well laid, it nipped in the bud, and the Governor effected Riley’s arrest, and it is hoped he will now get the punishment he so well de- serves. Itis not natural to suppose that men like Ri- ley, and those constituting bis command, would be true to any government, except it were to their own inte- rest. They bave no feeling in common with the Mexi- cans ; they do noteven speak the jenguage, and will, in all probability, always go over to the highest bidder. I have not heard anything more of Paredes or his move- ments, but it looks well for the present Government that they have so far succeeded in putting down these insurrection: pirants. Gen. Smith nds to leave here to-morrew or next day at the farthest. The steamer Alabama is hore, de- tained to take the General and the Quartermaster’s Department to New Orleani his reception will be in proportion to his ‘he arduous du- ties he has performed here in embarking the troops with su etivity is beyond all praise. Allie, Callahan and John H. Peoples willbe in the Crescent office almost as soon as this, This place gine to look quite dull. To-morrow, at 10 o'clock. the Castle will be formally given up and American author- ity cease. The National Guards have formed, and they pretend to eay that they will not allow any regu- lar troops in the city. How the sequel will turn out is more than I can tell.

Some cases of trifling interest were disposed of, when George LeRoy, otherwise Joseph Warren, was placed at the bar, charged with taking $15 from the desk of Joba N. Valentine, 263 Washington st. Mr V. proved that he went into his yard, and had not been there two minutes when he returned, and found the prisoner standing at the store door, and who asked liberty to retire to the yard; said, 'yes; and imme- diately caw the desk was broken open; followed pri- soner to the yard, accused him of the theft, when he seemed confured. Some Mexican dollars were found about the yard, which he identifies, and one in possession of the prisoner. The prisoner genteol looking young man, and was neatly dressed. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment. A few more unimportant cuses were disposed of, when the court was adjourned, ‘The Gexrnat Sessions Corn was then opened, Judge Daly with Aldermen Stephens and Crolius presiding. The names of the jury empannelled on Thursday | evening, for the trial of Boxter were then called over, who having answered, the prisoner was given in charge on an attempt to commit grand larceny. The Deputy Attorney briefly opencd the case, when Joun Haveasnt was placed on the stand. He lives in 85th street, 9th avenue; came to town on the 25th January lust, after burying his wife, by the steamboat John Hart, and landed at foot of Verey street; that as he left the boat he felt a hand thrust into his left ocket, and he cried out he was robbed; put round his and and caught the hand of the person who made the attempt, and tbat person was the prisoner at the bar. He (witness) accused him with the attempt, which he denied, and a person stepped for vard and said he was sure the gentleman had done no such thing, as it would bea most ungentlemanly act for one person to thrust his hand into the pocket of anoth- er. Here Mr. McKeon gave a significant look and a nod at both the Court and the jury. The Cov 1, for detendant—I beg to ask the Court if this telegrapbing of the evidence on the part of the Dis- trict Attorney be either fair or proper. It is not right to attempt to smile away a man’s liberty. Mr. McKrox—I cannot help smiling at the defence intended to be set up. The Covnset for defendant—We think it a good one. Mr. McKeox—I baye no doubt you do—that’s noth- ing, thoug ‘The Covnci: for defendant—Well, if your imagina- tion is so trifling and your information ao slight as not to be able to see, that is not a reason that others are to be judged by your standard, Mr. MeKrox—1 know [am not so importanta man as Mr. Brady thinks himself. The Covnsex for the defendant—Indeed, I know you are not important; at least, [ could never discover it. Mr McKeon did not answer this last sally; and Mr. Brady proceeded to cross-examine the witness. He stated the transaction exactly in the same way as be- fore; but admitted Baxter had never got hold of his which there were $30; and that as soon as cused, and could get out of the crowd, he y, but was arrested and brought back by the Captain’ ofthe steamboat. and given into the cus- tody of the police. Captain Whitlock proved to ar- resting some person, who, from the hasty gait at which he was proceeding, be suspected of having done some thing wrong, but he could not identify him. ‘Warran Stitiwaccon was then called to th nd. He said he saw two men standing near the-cook’s kitchen. Identifies the prisoner as the person who made the attempt to pick the pocket of the first wit- ness; could not be mistaken in him, for he has a coun- tenance which, if once seen, will never be forgotten. He then proceeded to give his evidence as +o the details which were, in substance, the same ar already given. He was ay cross-examined, but nothing to shake his direct testimony was elicited. The Counsex for the defendant then rose to address the jury. He said he labored under great difficulties from the absence of a material witness, who would throw quite s different light on this transaction, and this he the more regretted, as both judge and jury seemed in all cases, to entertain an opinion adverse to the tra- yerser insuch cases, The learned attorney pressed it op, however, with the desire of an Indian for blood, that asa great chief he would be able to prove his prowess to his followers, in holding up to their gaze a number of bloody scalps; but, however this might be the poliey of the ehief, it ought not to be the practice of # public prosecutor, nor ofa humane man. When is learned friend denounced the prisoner on Monday as the associate of all sorts of infamous characters, and when he raised the red hand of vengeance—such as would make the foundations of the court tremble. he could not but think that though the hot blood which ran in his veins, and which wasthe same as flowed through his own, when raised to frenzy or en- thusiasm, was capable of performing great deedt—that he exceeded his duty. But although all this ire was expended, and that the jury were told that the con- viction of the prisoner was more important than an: of the State questions which at present agitated thi great country: yet when a witness for the prosecution insults the court, he is kindly treated, and rocoived the honorable attorney with as much blandness as if he were a epecial messenger from the old country, deputed to confer with his honor on the state of that country, to which he has threatened, and is usin, his exertiens, to carry fire, and sword, and bloodshed. (Laughter, in which the court joined.) Mr. Brady then weeded to review the evidence at length, which e sail was not sufficient to warrant the jury in find- ing a verdict of guilty; but even if it was, the could not find that verdict, for an attempted nd ny was a crime unknown to law; and concluded a yery, plausible speech by demanding an acquittal for his client. Mr. M‘Keon then rose to reply. He said that abuse was one of those things that seemed latterly ttach itself Aster! officers--but he acted on Jefferson's maxim that by his own acts, and not by the words of others, could he be injured; and he was so: his friend degraded himself by throwing out unworthy imputations, as he should have left such things to in- ferior minds, He then reviewed the evidence, and said pickpockets hunted at times in packs, and other times in couples, having receivers as well as per- formers, and concluded an able speech by laying down authorities to contradict the law as laid down by the ssindge Dany chen charged din his view of th judge Daxy then o! \—agreed in his view of the law with the District Attorney, and quoted authori- ties to show an attempt to perform an act of grand larceny was the same as ifthe deed had been effected. The Covnssx for the defendant. after the Judge had charged, rose to offer a bill of exceptions. Mr. M‘Keon rose with some heat, and objected to the bill being received by the court, and moved that the jury should retire. The Counset for the defendant, with equal heat, prot against their retiring until his bill was re- ceived and signed by the court, Mr. M‘Krox—This is the exact course pursued as in the case of Madame Restell, and it is done now with ¢ a the mannerin which he has conducted the sales of pub- lic property that was of little or no use to citizens, and the property generally has brought a fair price. The Reception of the New French Minister. On Saturday last, Mr. William Tell Poussin was pre- rented to the President as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic. Upon delivering his Jetter of credence, he addressed the President as follows:— Sim,—In deliver ng to you the letter which accredits mo near the government of the United States, as the first Minister from the French republic, allow me to express 4 sentiment which tho solempity of the occasion inspires and imposes upon me, ‘Tkis important mission has been entrusted tome by the exe: cutive Gepertment of my country, solely because of my acquai the institutions, hatits, apd people of nited had the hon reed Fe te considered hy the government ¥ 8.9 proof of the earnest desire of the identify herself with the American nation.

Mr. M‘Krox—Well, I object; and will not have the right of the community trampled on in this way, and oon submit that the court should not receive is bill. The Covnsrx for the defendant—Well, I think the court will not act contrary to law, even to please the District Attorney.

In the name of the pub- lie_I protest against this course, The Covnsen forthe defendant—The great matter is, that itis not the opinion of the District Attorney that the court will take—but will act according to law. This, insist, is the law, and I will have my bill re- ceived. ¥ The Count intimated that the right of the counsel to take exceptions was clear and beyond doubt. The Counsex then read his bill; it gave a aery A of the evidence, and took exceptions to the law, as laid down by the Judge. Some time was then taken to settle the terms hooagee'f or to the ineertion of parts of the evi- jc dence, which was at last agreed to by cqunsel on both sides, and the bill was received and signed by the court. Immediately on tho bill being signed, the jury were commit grand larce: ‘The prisoner heard the verdict without the slight- ert visible emotion but his flushed face and hur- ried look, as he turned his eye from §his counsel to the court, as Mr, McKeon called for the judg- ment of the court. Baxter was then called up andsworn to answer such questions as should be asked him, respecting his knowledge of any mechanical trade, He was then asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passedon him. He first pornes his innocence, and then said, that let him as he will, and whatever character he might be, the men who had taken the stand were worse than he-- that Mr. McKeon, at onc time, said he had never seen him before he came into court, and, at another, that he was with him in a steamboat from Albany, and that they have been endeavoringto send him to State prison.
