Up, when Gen, Cass, (dem.) of Mich., took the floor, and spoke at length bis views upon this subject of intervention and non-intervention. His argument was addressed to his own resolution, that the United States could not regard but with deep concern the interference of Russia, for example, in the event of revolutionary struggle in Hungary. The speech of Case, starting from this polut, traversed the whole fleld of international law, and is a learred, able, philorophicel and statesmanlike view of the whole subject. His conclusions are, that while we are not prepared to maintain the doctrine of non inter- vention in Kurope by force of arnis, we are prepared to express, and it is our duty, esa notion, to express our remonetrances and protests gaiust all such violations of the rights of States and international justice, as have lately charecterized the policy of the despots of Austria oud Russia. Itis our duty, at leart.to protest against them, and place the protest upon record.

On the man was likewise found a large cace knife, sharpened at the point, with an edge as keen os a razor, and it was suppored to have been the instrn- ment of death.
