THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS. BY MORSE’S MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. Wasnincrox, June 14, 1850, CHAMBER CLEANING POSTPONED, Mr. Yucex submitted an order that when the Senate adjourn on Monday, it will be until Thursday, with view to take up the carpet, which, after some debate, | lies over. REFUSAL TO ADJOURN TILL Mi ‘THE PResrKcTs oF Mr. Hare moved that when the Senate adjourn te- ay, it will be to meet on Monday next. Mr. Foote epposed the motion. It was the inten- tion of the friends of the Compromise bill to sit it out to-merrow. Mr. Cray hoped that no adjouroment over would take place til the romise bill was disposed of, | He needed rest as much as any other member of the body, but he would sit here, days and nights, to get through with the bill. He thought thatin the course of to-day and to-morrow, all the amendments could be disposed of, and the bill be got into a shape on Monday next to put it upon its engrossment. After the bill has been decided, he would be as ready as any one to take a little rest; it was ominous that ail these motions for adjournment came from the minority of the Senate, who were opposed to the measure of adjusement. Mr Have could not understand how it was that the Senator from Kentucky could assume that the majori- ty of the Senate were in favor of the bill, when South- ern gentlemen, by whose votes alone the measure was barely saved from being laid on the table, had declared that it was only dragging out a sickly existence, until they should be prepared to kill it. Mr. ¥ d Mr. Clay was much mistaken in sup: posing that the bill could be dixposed of in the brief time mentioned. He knew that if it passed » month hence, it would do well. He did not believe it wise to precipitete the question. He believed that procrasti- nation every day increased the chances of « proper adjustment, a4 it gave time for an expression of public such an issue. A ort additional delay would also give opportunity to the Senate to receive information m the House as here towards @ settlement then no objection to the lig) y which would cceur by an adjournment, to gi ‘the North, ummer suason—a measure highly necessary to the health and comfort of the Senate. Alter further debate, the motion was rejected—yeas 17, nays 28. THE COMPROMISE BILL—MR. CLEMEN'S AMENDMENT RE- sRcTED. After the transaction of routine business, the Omni- bus bill was again taken up, the question being upon Mr. Clemen’s motion to designate one million doliars ag the sum to be paid Texas for the surrender of her claim to the disputed territory, which, some explanato- ry remarks, was Tajected yous 8, The question recurred on striki tion relating to the boundaries of Texas. Mr. Kino addressed the Sonate against the amend- ment, expressing himself of the opinion. that the title of Texay te the whole of the country Eaat of the Rio Grande, from its mouth to its source, was good, and made good, by the fect that Co gress b the anpexa- tion of Texas, agreed to extablish im by negotia- tion, failing which, she engaged in war, which re- Ited inthe coquinntion by the sword, of the territory as claimed, with the knowledge of the United ous the entire see- His views had changed in relation to the title of Texas; be red ber title to be to all the territory claimed by her, and that it was much better to let her absorb ali New Mexico than to loave that country in such a condition as would result in making free soil of that, — im the hands of Texas, would continue slave Mr. Rusu next addressed the Senate in vindication of the title of Texas, up to the Rio Grande. in reply te the epecch made a or two simce by Mr. Dayton. Mr. Have ada: the Senate in favor of striking out the section under coasideration, snd against the of paying to Texas large sum of money whioh shall operate to bias or control the action of Congrese upon the entire measure. Mr. Poors called upon Mr. Hale, if he knew of any attempt to bribe Congress, or any member of it—if he knew of any corrupt motives governing the action ot Senators, to make it known, and thus become the bene- factor of the country. In the course of some addi- tional remarks. he alluded tothe Wilmot me? ry being as dishonest in principle as the act of the high way robber. 7, Ir. Hare said that he had been reading from Mr. Jefferson. and he sup) that the comparison of the Re yy that distinguished men, with Jeffer act of the highway robber, was to be applied to imaelf. As to the question whether he y bribery, he had only to say that he had ed that anything of the kind had been it did mot the Senator know that if y din} ition to resort to bribery h have gone naturally to the leading members of t nate, (great laughter.) and net to the hi scribed Senater from New Hampshire. He sign the least imputation upon any member of the Senate, having simply alluded to the frailty of haman nature, and in view of that sugg¢stion, what might be the influence of offering to Texas seven crn millions of dollars. Mr. Bensian opposed the amendment. The object of the bill was te adjust the ing questions ing before the country. and if section was kon out, it aust be evident that the bill would not and could not be promotive of the settiement aad peace of thecountry; it weuld*tead to much dissati«faction and contention. He then considered the question of the title of Texas, contending that the United States, | ae eee, guaranteed to Texas all that she med and was successfully to vindicate. He bad no deubt of the power of the United States to into the Supreme Court, and have a settiement of e question of bow , but he should much regret to have it so settled until some other plan had been tried and found ineffectual.

Mr. McCumanann (dem ), of Illinois. from the Com- mittee om Foreign Affairs, reported a bill amendatory of an act to carry into effect the treaties between the United States and the Ottoman Porte. which were ap- ‘oved in August, 1848. He explained that under the eaty with China we are authorised toextend the laws of the United States over American citizens there, and to wake them amenable to eur laws for offemovs committed im that coun! ‘The law of 1848 author- ized the commissioner and oonsul to try and punish all offences committed by Americans, mot only in China, but in Macao, The Portuguese government, however, objects, ase Macao is not a part of the Chinese empire. and on this ground has refused to re- ceive a consul from us, es sgn to reeeive one when the action now proposed is taken.

Mr. Bariy, (dem) of Virginia, called attention to the fact that the seventy. rule requires it shall be the duty of the Committee of Ways and Means, within thirty days after their appointment, to report the general appropriation bill, or in failure thereof, the reasons of such failure, and he rose to give the reasons why the bills have not been reported; when Mr. Screnc, (whig) of Ohio, objected, insisting that the report must be in writing.

Mr. Barty, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the following bills, via:— xe making appropriations out of the revenue ofthe Post Office Department, for its support. A bill to defray the current contingent expenses of the Indian Department. Both bills being for the year ending June 30th. 1861. A bill to supply the defictencies in appropriations for the judicial expenses of the government for the year ending June 30th, 1850. All of these were referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. Mr. Bayxy called attention to the tact, that courts will nct be held in several of the States, unless tho lat- ter bill be passed. On his motion, the House went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, with the view of considering this bill é The Cuainman decided the California bill to be in or- jer. Mr, Barxy moved to lay it aside. Points of order were raised as to the order of busi- ness, and finally the California bill was laid aside, and the Committee proceeded to the consideration of the Dill making appropriations to supply the deficiency in appropriations for the jediclary. ir.

(From the Charleston (8 C0) Mercury Extra., June 11.) The United States mail steamer Isabel, Capt. Rollins, arrived trom Havana this morning She left Havana at 6 o'clock P.M om the 8th, and reached her wharf at 8 o'clock this morning, making 63 hours from port to port, including the stoppages at Key West and Savan. nah. By the Isabel we have our files of papers and cor- respondence to the 8th inst., extracts from which will be found annexed. ‘A large number of crosses, and other honorary dis- tinctions, buve been couferred on those who were pro- mivent in repelling the invaders at Cardenas, while liberal contributious have been made for the eupport of the families of the killed and wounded on that occasion.

The American Consul was peremptorily refused all acess to or communication with the prisoners. To give a color, however, to the prctae of the court, the presence of the British Consul was invited. A strong disposition was manitested to dispose of the two American captains by « summary executien, but aguinst thie course the British Consul warmiy re- monstrated, and wd them that such « course would inevitably i ve'them in serious difficulties with the American government. In consequence of these remonstrances the decision of the Court upon their case was postponed.

Mr. Clay and Mr. Benton were hand in hand for the instant admission of California as a separate measure; so far did they agree, that Mr. Benton moved the meseage be referred to @ special committee, and that Mr. Clay should be the chairman. This was brotherly love, Then it was that Mr. Olomens, of Alabama, thought a new miracle had come to light, The prophe bad predicted the day when the lion and the lamb should le down together, and however he might have doubted it before, now that the great expuuger and the great embodiment, Thomas H. Benton aud Teary Clay, were found together in seeret communion, nothing seemed too incredible to defy beliet But Mr. Ulay soon discovered that California by her- self was impracticable, He surrendered to the neces sity of acombined bili, was made the chairman of the Committee of Thirtwwer, and is now souducting, aud has been conducting. the measure through the senate with such skill and ability as to command the respect even of his most violent enemies, and the unbounded admiration of bis friends. He bas, among other thin, thus far, with tact and adroitn defeated the tact and he arguments of Mr. Benton, without " himself to be diverted into a controversy outside of the merits #f the bill ‘The proceedings of the day, however, while they il- lustrate the unceasing vigilance of bis opponent, show that the Senator from Kentucky has his reser beyond which he cannot forbear crossing swords, shivering @ lance or two, with bis adversary. And, in. deed, nothing short of the stuicism ot St. Paul could withstand in silence, or repel with indiffener, the ex- cessively irritating language and manner of the Sena- tor from Missouri, Lis whole bearing, his imperious voice. and the merciless emphasis of his language, dety anything short of the meek god passive WH. Sewardto take it without resistance. And any man who know: Henry Clay, knows very well that efall men he is, per- baps, the just man to submit to such things. ‘To give & bird's-eye view of the quarrel to-day, let us very briefly recapitulate it from the beginning. First of oil, Mr. Clay presented the proceedings of a late mass meoting in uix, with some remarks ou the sentiments of the . which brought Mr. Ben- ton into the controversy, and quite a spicy debate was the result. cendly, Mr, W. II. Seward, in some romarks upon dinents to trike out all relating to the Texas boundary trom the bill, ebarged that, by the combina. tion of all the measures included in the compromise, the action of the Senate upom the business of legisla- tions had been delayed. Mr. Clay repelled the accusation, and charged upon the minority opposing the bill. n their attempts of various Kinds to defeat it, the waste of time of whioh the friends of the measure had a just right to com- plain. As the discussion went on, Mr. Benton lectured the Senasor from Kentucky, for to lecture the Senate ; and to justify the oppo he read a strong last. in favor of een it seems to have escaped the attention of Benton, The Kepublic, therefore, ia entitled to t credit of furnirhing for the grand onset, to-day, in the Senate, upon Henry O! After reading the speech of Mr. Clay through, Benton di rected it, commenting with tremendous ja upon every salient point in Mr. Clay's remarks. For example Mr. Kuxron—The Senator from Kentucky goes on, sir, and says -— But I do not think it would be right to embrace in a general motion the question of the a mission of California, and all the other subjects which tre treated of by the resolutions upom the table—the subject, for example, of the establishment of territorial overpments; the subjeot of the establishment of a indary line for Texas. and the proposition to com- pensate Texas for the surrender of territory. I say, air. I do not think it would be right to confound or to combine all these subjects, and to theow them be- fore one committee, to be acted upon together I think the subject of the admission of Califor. nin ovght to be kept separate and distinct.” — Yes, sir, he says be does not think it would be right to embrece ell these subjects in ome bill And he Yepeats it, that be does not think it would be right. What is not right, sir, must be wrong: and because It would be wrong to mix them together in this conglo- meration, he says the admission of California ought to be kept separate—ought to be kept separate (tn a very lewd tone ef vetce Mr. C.sv—(in ap under mn Any glass breaking’ Mr. Banton— (still louder) — they ought to be kept separate. He foresaw then, what we see now, th ination, the deley, and, more than all,’ th uncertainty which must follow thie eration. ir Benton's voice at the highest pitch, Yes, sir, he ww then— Mr. Crar—A little louder. Mr. Bewton— What wo see now, this delay ——— Mr. Ciay—A little louder. Mr, Buxton —This procrastination, this uncertainty, a terce, and merciless lecture trom opposed to the admission of California asa State, 1 own that I hi ehanged my original ground. Mr Bawton—A little louder, Mr. Cisy—I own it ; but our debates will abundant- ly show the reasons which controlled me, he Mr Benton replied by reading from « published let- ter of his own, to show that be was in favor of admit- ting California asa State from the day that Congress urned, without giving her a territorial goverument, hams my that before an accusation is made, the ght to be om hand to support it.

Before the Reoerder and Aldermen ¥ranktin and Conklia, THE SENTENCE OF JOSEPH C. ASHLRY. Junx 14.—At the opening of the Court of General Sessions this morning. the Kecorder annogmesd thas the Court saw no good reason for granting the motiem in arrest of judgment in the case of Ashley, comvioted of forgery iu the second degree, at the Marcle term. In giv ng thie decision, the Recorder said, that, al- though the Court had determined to deny the magion, they woukl like to hi his action of the Sessions se- d by the Supreme Court. shley was then arraigned, and asked what he hed to say why judgment should not be passed upow hiue according to law. At this moment, he produged @ Somewhat lrngthy affidavit, to which he made oath, and then offered to read this document in rospomie te the question of the clerk. ¢ District Attorney oppesed the reading of the af- fidavit before it had been submitted to him. The reed- ing was. for the moment, therefore, deferred; but at length proceeded with by the assent of the Court. MAr. Ashley bad not proceeded far, however, when Mr, De vid Grabam arrived. and oppored any turther recital of the contents of the affidavit in the nauds of Mr Ash— ley. He said the affidavit which Mr. Ashley was mow reading, bud been submitted to the prosecution whem & motion was made to.quash the indictments against him. The matter contained in the papers, being thas prepared and submitted for another purpore, were not, as . present time, relevant, and were hence insd- mirsible, Ashley—They are affidavits dra fenoe, and for my own benefit.

Mr. Graham-—A prisoner when about to be sen- |, may state what he hasto say that may go to ; but he is not at liberty to make seandalous and scurrilous attacks upon individuals. Now these affidavits were used in another cass; they were drawn up for quite @ different purpose from that whi! jorms the excuse for reading them They are se lous and impertinent, and should be stricken trom the records of the Court. In suppore of this position, Mr, Grabam produced authorities from the books.
