BNCE Wasurnoroy, Aug. 16, 1850, The Clams om Portugul—Hestory of the Diploma- cy Om the Question— Settlement of the Difficulty I regret exceediogly, that the letter coataining my remerks on the Poruiguese question, as it now stands, has not been received by you, and hasten to lay a few facts before your readers, Our claims on Portogal have been pressed with h | publication of all sorts of trash, a luge | preportion of which his been consigoed to tne fonoow? nd grocers’ shops iu the priated she «, siderable quantity disposed of at vri- by auction, and the proceeds pocke ed vaie sale ¢ | by the meinbere. if the debates wreto be accredited. | unusual severity, and in terms not always coasis- tent with diplomatic etiquette, to say the least of them. Portugal replied respeetfully, defeading | herself best ehe could, and at last revivia pressing rome of the cluima of her subj egainst the UVaited States, aa an offset against the | claims of our c ns. Mr. Clayton, the lute Secretary of State, treated jay for marki Henee the amendment proposed wr, #0 that the books allowed to « a “t found bereefter in the aucnoo stores, the gnilty speculators may be detected by the “brand.” Upon this important question the House adjourned, Por farther tight upou the suhjeet, we tumm over He nos had some experi- swe all about it. sion mines proper, of the case toMr Greely ence in the business, and k The plan of the adoun the House, is to posh Cirough first of all,this bill of Ciwil and Diplome Appropriations, whieh wall farnieh the iost thats required keep the wheels of government well greased, That bill theoagh, they propose totoke op che Texas boundary, an next the C-lifornia bill, aad p them to @ con. closion. These being disvoswet of if they do a0 more, they think enough will be done we keep everything right side ay Ul) (he wext session. The Civiland Diplomace ball wilt probably oe- evpy the whole of veat week, oud whee that is fioxshed then will come the questioa of preeedeace on the bills for the settlemeut ot tae slavery ques- tion. We expect Texas well take the precedence, and that the free soilers, combining with thé ultra Southerners, will render the passage ef thefnill an | embarrassing piece of | Sati-fied that these Portuguese claims, against our government very little better than a swindle, aad by the teaor | of his diplomatic notes, clearly indicated that they would never have been pressed except to avoid a just responsibility ineurred by outrages committed on our citizens. His language, if 1 am not very much mistaken, is ecarcely couched in terms snit- ed to the usual intercourse of polite geatiemen, and drawn up very much in the style of 4 prosecu- ting attorney, who threatens to attach the property of his client’s debtor. Portugal, 1 believe, used the ouly weapon left to old and weak States. She was very diplomatic, very courteous, and very argumentative; for it is a strange historical axiom, that 4 State increases in diplomatic skill, as it declives in power, The Dutch republic never was more powerfal, than when her burgomaster forgot to button his leather breeches before the French ambassador, the Dake de Choiseul; aud whea the republic of Venice ex- pired without a struggle or a groan, her diplomacy had reached such a degree of finesse, that her Se- cretary of State was not permitted to keep a record of it. But to return to Portagal. The Portvguese government offered to submit the whole difficulty to the arbitration of a mari- time power of the second rank, interested as her- self is in maintaining and defending the rights of neutrals ; and, for that purpose, designated the King of Sweden; stating, at the same time, her readiness to submit to any umpire the United States might select. Mr. Clayton declined the offer, or rather ac- cepted it only conditionally, if the American claim- ante (his clients) would consent to it. He does not seem to have looked on the claims as aflecting the present and future rights and interests of two States; but simply asa matier of mewm and tuum between two individuals, and insisted, in aiore po- sitive terms than ever, on being paid. Portugal still respectfully remonstrated and argued; but Mr. Clayton, at that stage of the proceedings, deter- mined to come Richelieu over her, and ordered the American squadron to the Tug This was a bold stroke, and, what is more, it was a success- fulone. With the guns of Commodore Morgan’s flag shipe looking dreadfully on the devoted city of Lisbon, our Charge d’Aflaires had « last iater- view with Count d’Oyal, the Portuguese Secretary for Foreign Affuire, at which he again pressed his claims, us believe, in threatening language, amounting, a8 I shrewdly guess, to :ntumidation. A cabinet council was thereupon convened, and Mr. Clay culled upon to reduce his ultimatum to writ This Mr. Clay very wisely refused to do, being, no doubt, instructed by Mr. Clayton not to embroil him with Co: The Portu- guese government, nevertheless, thought that the evil hour was upon them, and, socordingiy. offered to pay all the claims pressed by the American Charge, in full, save the $90,000 set down for the de- struction of the privateer General Armstroog, the yment of which they conceive derogatory to the Eobor of Pertagehen anation. The ofler of sub- mitting that c %y however, to an umpire was renewed. Mr. Clay left Lisbon, use he con- sidered the terms of that note not sufficiently re- etful. Portugal, I umag' expressed her wil- lingness to pay, not because she wae convinced of the justice of the claims, but because she had no meane of resistance, and for the sake of peace. The question now is, will the United States hold her to her ofler made under an imaginary duress? Will Mr. Filimore and Mr. Webster consent to submit the whole to an umpire of their owa selec- tion. You will see that the matier is entirely io our own hande, and that the United States, instead of meeting with any resistance, must use her own discretion how far she will use her power against a weak and defenceless friendly nation. ‘THE SETTLEMENT.

Since the above has been written, Mr. Webster has bad @ conference with the minister resident from Portugal here in Washington, the result of which wasthe settlement of the whole question. Portugal to make provisions for the payment of the four claims, admitted by Couut Tojal in his note to Mr. Clay, our Charge to Lisbon, gnd the reference of the General Armstrong to the arbitration of a third power, which, I think, will be Swedea. The Portuguese minister bas, accordingly, left Wash- ington, not with his passports, but for Philadelphia and New York, to enjoy, in all probability, the cooling breezes of Staten Island.

The Closing of the Week—Quarrels Among the Southerners— Relief to the Free Soilers—Doings of the Howse—The Mileage Question and tho Books— Plan of the Administration Party im the way of Business, &c. The particular excitement of the morning is the letter of the Hon. Daniel Wallace, of South Caro- lina, to General Houston, of Texas, published in the Southern Press. It is clearly a declaration of war. It admits of no evasion, and no escape, except an arrangement for an early-in-the-morning visit to Bladensburg, or a surrender, or « grieeful caving in on the part of old San Jacinto. The letter of General Wallace explains the matter of the quarrel—the ultimate consequences have yet to be developed.

Things in Philudelphta—Our Navy Yard—Camp Meetings—The Census, &e. Philadelphia is slowly awnking from the sleepy stupor of the dog days. The hv are crowded with strangers, the Market street jobbers and im- porters are displaying their silks and woollens, ginghams and groceries, to their Western and Southern customers, with grinuing assiduity ; the watering place absentees are returning in small detachments, while many of our fashionable par- sous, afier several weeks of recreation at the cea- shore or at some purgative spring, are again re- united to their famishing flocks. The weather is, on the whole, delighiful; cool at both ends of the dey, with a little scorching in the middle. Still, visiting is not practised or tolerated at the west end of the city, as it is a fashiouable fiction, that no fernily whose head has an income over three thou- sund per ennum can, by any contingency, have retumed from their summer quarters before the middle of September. The early advent of the opera with us this season may cause a departure from en erbitrary rule; but the chances are im favor of a spirit of economy, and the prejudices of long obrervance. Commodore Read, who succeeded the late Com- modore Joves, as Governor of the Naval ylum, has been traneferred, at his own west, to the command of the navy yard at this station. At the present time, there ure only two vessels lying off the yard. The first 1s the receiving ship, a ereken down, nondescript sort of a propeiler, whieh might be navigated with tolerable satety as fara Glou- cester Point, it the tide was in her favor. The second is the noble steamship Susquehanna, whieh showed at her birth euch « decided reluctance to slide into the water, to the horror of the amateur midwiver, 60 kindly farnished by the Franklin In- stitute. From the appeurance of the Susquehanaa, I should suppore she would not be ready for sea for several months tocome.

The Slavery Question in Philadelphia—Owr Female Physicrans— Great Limes Coming-- Another Maar- der, He. &e. “ What will the House of Representatives now dot” is the question asked of one every day, and every hour in the day, in-doors and out of doors, at the breakfast table, dinner table, and supper ta- ble. From nearly every pulpit, this morning, i- vine aid was invoked to straighten up things at ‘Washington ; and even the ladies talk quite as ghbly and as understandingly about boundary lines, the admission of California, and the settlement of the slavery question, as their husbanda, fathers, and brothers. The practical, thinking, business portion of our community—those who are knowa to, and recoguized by, the rising generation as ‘| headed old cocks”—have, from the first, beea the opinion that th reat issues before the country will be peaceah! y and #ntisfactorily settled, und they are now equally contident that within a few weeks, at the farihesi, the House will consume mate What the Senate have so gloriously originated. May that contidence be not unfounded, ia the prayer of every patriot and holder of Texas scrip! Our Female Medical College is progressing as natisfactorily ae any friend to the rights of women could porsibly desire; and all that is new wanted to complete the goed work is the establishment of a Female Theological Seminary and a Female Law Schoel.
