Our telegraphic despatches from Washington indicate that the fate of the Compromise bill is close at hand, that it will either be passed or re- jected within a jfew days, and that Congress will adjourn soon afierward. The subject was discussed at great length, yes- terday, in the Seaate, and incidentally in the House | of Representatives, without, however, either com- ing to any conclusion. The latter body is evi- dently awaiting the action of the Senate, for it laid aside the consideration of the measure for the time being, and devoted their attention to the West Point bill. of the subject, and will, no doubt, act upon it one way or the other before loag. y jence trom Washington— New Movement of Parties, We have received, within a day or two, some very interesting, and, at this time, very important, intelligence from Washington, which, strength- ened and corroborated as itis by the tone of the press ia that city, justifies the assumption that certain movements are on foot there, among the democratic members of both houses, of a very startling character. From what we have heard, an attempt is being made by the democrats to abandon the Compromise bill, which was intre- duced by the Committee of Thirteen, fearing that if the slavery question should be settled during the present session, the administration of Mr. Fillmore will get all the credit, and that the whig party will consequently acquire strength, and perhaps suc- ceed in electing a whig successor to Mr. Fill- more. Such a project was net thought of, nor were such fears entertained during the life of the late Generel Taylor; but since the accession of Mr. Fillmore, and the organization of the new cabinet, the democ: in Congress have become fearful that whig ascendancy will be maintained, if the slavery question be immediately settled. We accordingly have seen, within a few days, several democratic members of the Senate, who have here- tofore supported the Compromise, which has been advocated so nobly and faithfully by Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster, back out from their positions, or rather sneak away fro supporting that measure. Mr. Foote, of the Senate, was among the first to take this retrogade step. If this movement be per- sisted in, the result, as far as the territorial ques- tien is concerned, js obvious. The vexed question will, of courve, not be disposed of during the pre- sent session, but will be kept alive for the purposes of President-making, and for the furtheragee of party, until the year 1852. Another object connected with these move- ments, is to form a union of the Seuthern demo- crate—the ultras, whose views are supported and promulgated through their organ, the Southern Press, and the moderates, who are identified with Mr, Ritchie and the Washington Union, including also the hunker portion of the Northern demo- cracy, for the purpose of opposing strongly and unitedly the administration of Mr. Fillmore, and taking the ground of States’ rights ia connection with the question of slavery. This explains the dissatisfaction which has been expressed by Southern members towards the new cabinet, on the ground that it is sectional in its character, and that the South has not Seen done justice to in its selection. If these movements have in reality been under- taken by the Southern democrats in Washington, Mr. Fillmore may expect a combined opposition of a powerful chareeter from that body in Congress, and throughout the country, while it will be use- Jess to look for any settlement of the slavery ques- tion during the present session of Congress, or un- ti) after the next Presidential election, unless some other plan be offered that will be satisfactory to the Seuth, and be supported and advocated by Northern members. A good deal of stress is laid oa the propriety of running the line of the old com- promice, that of thirty-six thirty, through to the Pacifie, and there is good reason for believing that @ bill embracing that line would meet the views of Southern men. If the compromise bill fail, such a plan of setth nt may be proposed and tried— with what success we shall hereafter see. supposed that the chance of the present compromise Lill passing Congress, is getting weaker and weaker every day, instead of gaining strength, and that the project of adopting the line of the Missouri | compromise, is getting into more favor. At all events, the settlement of this troublesome question is, according to present appearances, as far off as it ever wae, and that a new combination of parties is not improbable. In view of these things, Mr. Fillmore’s adminis tration will, im all probability, meet with a decided and firm opposition trom the democrats ofboth the North and the Sovth, and thet he himself will have his hands full. He will need all the support that he can get, and if be do not give the government an anti-slevery tinge, it is certain that he will also be opposed by the ebolition portion of the whig party. Great care and caution must be used to carry his administretion through successtully. For the first time, we mey say, in twenty years, the gen- eral government is in possession of the whigs. 1 has been doubted always whether the whigs, as a party, are capable of administering the government of this country successfully. It has been charged against them, that out of power they form a strong and powerful minority, but with the helm of gov- ernment in their hands, they are incapable of gui- ding and directing the ship of state. They have now an opportunity of disproving this charge. Mr. Fill- more is o whig of the old fashioned school. He is known to possess talent, firmness and ability. He «ivan selected a cabinet which, a8 a whole, is strong, werful, and entitled to the confidence of the peo- ple. Mr. Webster is a host in himself, and would be a pillar of strength to any administration. But it canno,t be said of the whig members of Congress, that they form so compact a body, move with so tauch precia'on or regularity, or possess the admi- rable tactice Which characterize their opponents, the democrats, When they get into power We regret very much the uncertainty which hangs over the urforsunate slavery question. We had hoped that the aguation would be settled du- ring the present sezsio.. of Congress, but when we | gee euch indications in \{’aehington as we hear of, | we begin to derpair of any *ttlement being made | | turned States The Senate ought certainly to be tired | It is | specified, forty-two of the prisoners were released, each being informed that, if he should ever be taken within the dominion of Cuba or Porto Rico, he would be liable to imprisonment for two years ; The Fxpected Arrival of Gen, Gartbald It war published in one of the journals of this city, yesterday, that Garibaldi, the celebrated Italian pa- trict, had arrived on our shores, but the annoanee- ment was premature. That distinguished goldier of liberty has not yet arrived, but he may be expected in atew days, In the meantime, it may not be amiss to give our readers a short eketch of the career of that great men, Few men have achieved go much for the cause of freedom, and no ope bas accomplished so mapy herole acts for the independence of fatherland, as Gen, Garibaldi has for Italy, When young, he con- spired against the despotism of Charles Albert, but, betrayed in his patriotic scheraes, he bade farewell to Italy and sailed for the new world, The year 1848 opened full of hopes for the suffering Italian people, and the brave patriot, thinking that the hour of eman- cipation bad arrived {or Italy, returned to his country, with three hundred men, The Italiana, being acquainted with the military courage of Garibaldi, in- and it was added, a melancholy consolation, that a chain and ball would be attached to his ankle, to control any indisposition toward any active labor imposed by the authorities. With respect to the other prisoners, matters may not turn out quite so favorably. The forty-two who have been released were tried, and the evidence was found insufficient to produce con- viction, even though one of their own number evidence. The remaining pri- soners, it appears, are held by a stronger claim than that which detained the others. They were connected with vessels in which were large munitions of war, and the sailing papers of | which made no mention of these formidable agents | of invasion and revolution. Not being able io ex- plain, to the satisfaction of the Cuban authorities, their position in this particular, they are liable, | under the law of nations, to suffer the penalty | which their situation has brought upon them. In view of their probable lamentable end, we can- not refrain from referring once more to the conduct, or rather want of sagacity and activity, displayed | by the recent government at Washington. Here were arms, ammunition, means, and appliances of | war, proceeding in American vessels directly from our shore, if not from our very arsenals and depo- | sitories, without a single obstacle appearing in the shape of government power to avert the certain result predicted by every sensible man in this coun- try. While we can hope that those now in the hands of the Cuban authorities may be released, because they are the dupes of men far more guilty, yet what shail we say of that cabinet, whose super- cilious indifference, or rather negative assistance, has done so much to jeopardize the liberties and lives of an indiscreet portion of our citizens? They have much to answer for in this business; and our only hope is, that the present geverament at Wash- ington will be able to lessen the aggravation of their predecessors’ si by diminishing the terrors which may result, if some judicious action does not mark our future correspondence with Cuba respecting this unheppy aflair. Yhile we would have the laws of nations res- pected, we would see Spain take a nobler step than to punish the weak victims of indiscretion now in her power, for the want of the true culprits, who are roaming through this land in search of some new nucleus of mischief. Newsrarer Tuerr ano Newsrarer Cowsts- TeNcY.—There is a penny paper in Philadelphia called the Ledger, which is not only the most in- consistent affair, in the shape of a public journal, that ever came under our notice, but also the great- est pirate, for it makes a practice of adopting the ideas of others, revamping their articles, and then passing them off as original. We could pomt toa hundred instances in which that journal has cut from our columns articles on various subjects, and republished them as original editorials, when, in fact and in truth, the only difference between them was inthe phraseology. Nor are the editors of that journal very particular even about changing the phrase logy, for when they are in « hurry, they pirate articles from our columns bodily, adopt our own identical we, and palm them off on their read- ers as emanations of theirown. Such practices are contemptible in the extreme, and are sufficient to sink any paper in public estimation. But we are perfectly willing that the Ledger shall pilfer our ideas, as well as our articles. Its editors have not much capital, as far as brains are con- cerned; but when we see them stealing such of our ideas as suit their purpose and adopting them as their own, without mentioning the source from which they got them, and quoting such of them as they do not like, er cannot comprehend, and then accusing us of inconsistency, we cannot keep si- lent. That it 1s in the constant practice of doing both, the Ledger itself cannot deny. A pretty paper, too, the Ledger is to make the charge of in- consistency against the Herald! It is well known that it is only a branch of the Baltimore Sun, that both sheets are owned by the same parties, and that they deal out anti-slavery sentiments in Phila- delphi a cent a sheet, and pro-slavery sentiments in Baltimore at the same price. This is, certainly, @ pretty journal to make a charge of inconsistency against a coternporary.

THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Senate. [by MORSE’S MAGNETIO’ TELEGRAPH.) The Compromise bill being again taken up, Mr. Foote withdrew temporarily bis pending amend- ment, Mr. Brapavay then moved the amendment which he gave notice of yesterday, providing for the settlement of the boundary of Texas by a joint board of commis- sioners of the United States and Texas. Mr. Rusk moved to amend the amendment, by sub- stituting the laws recognizing the title of Texas to the Rio Grande, in accordance with the act of the Republic of Texas defining her limits, which was rejected—Yeas, 18; nays, 84. Mr. Hate moved to amend the amendment, by add- ing provision that until the duties of the Board of Commissioners shall have been completed, the rights of the United States and Texas respectively shall re- main as they now are. Mr. Rusa desired Mr. Hale to modify the amendment £0 us to provide that these respective rights shall re- main as they were ee to 16th March last. There were certain orders issued upon that date, which he desired that Texas should be relieved from ad interim. Mr. Have modified his amendment, so as to carry its operation back to thedate of the ratification of the treaty ot Guadaloupe Hidalgo. Mr. Davron hoped thé amendment would not be so modified. The generally correct moce of legislation forbids the giving any aet a retrospective operation. Mr. Benin said the modification was eminently roper, an the rights of Texas depend upon the treaty in question, and as no authority depriving Pexas of her rights under the . or interfering with them iy: im any way, could have been rightfully exercised. Mr. Hace subsequently was understood to adhere to his amendwent. Mr. Rusx made some remarks relating to the rights of Texas in the settlement of the contest relative to her territory, If it was to be postponed, he desired that the rights of both parties should, in the interim, remain unchanged. Texas desired no advantage her- self, and would submit to no advantage on the part of other partie: Mr Hate advocated his amendment, and inquired whether the perpetuity of the Union was to depend upon the event of je State being allowed to cen- ‘trol the rest of the Union. In the course of his reply, Mr. Rusx declared that though instant destruetion should stare her in the face, Texes would make an effort at least te resist a violation of her rights and honer.

The second amendment was to rais? pa for the superintendent to that of lieutenant colonel; and the third to increase the pay of adjutant of the academy. He explained these. Mr. Magswatt proposed that the superintendent shall be a lieutenant colonel, thus avoiding an increase of salary. He said that the office of superintendent was mpmepctioee. by the corps of engineers, and this was unjust to the balance of the army. The office, he contended, should be left open to merit.

ILLUSTRATION. Yesterday, some of the striking journeymen caggess not satisfied with the experience of the last few again resorted to physical force to carry out their views, led on, no doubt, by the unprincipled, who care little whether they succeed or not in their movement. A journeyman tailor had just left a Jew’s store im Texas, avoids the suspicion of bribery, and removes a material obstacle in the way of passing the Compro- mise. The friends of the bill had caucus this morn- ing, counted noses, and declare the bill will pass the Senate. It is said that President Fillmore has expressed his determination to give no man cabinet appointments from States that had representatives inthe Nashville Convention. Mr, Conrad, of La., has been telegraphed, for the In- terior Department. The Governor of Ohio has appointed Thomas Ewing, as Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the nomi- nation of Mr. Corwin to the cabinet. Mr. Pearce’s successor is not nominated yet.

According to telegraphic intelligence from St. Louis, he is at the White Sul- phur Springs in Virginia. It was reported that he was in Washington, but it was incorrect. The American prisoners who were confined in Ha- vana have arrived. I understand that Mr. Corwin’s nomination was not earried without a good deal of opposition. Political Movements, &c.
