OUR FOREIGN POLICY—RUMOR OF THE REJECTION OF IMPORTANT OVERTURES FROM BRAZIL—ANOTHER DEMOCKATIC ORGAN, ETO. Wasmctoy, Jan. 14, 1853, When the Nicaragua treaty is disposed of, there will probably come up another subject of special inquiry con- nected with our foreign relations. We understand—and have the report from respectable authority—that when David Tod, of Ohio, was our Minister to Brazil, commer- cial overtures of the highest inportance were made from that government to ours, and rejected. At the time Her Britannic Majesty's cruisers were holding practically un. der an embargo, the whole coasting trade of Brazil, in their search for slavers, the Emperor, as we are informed: proposed to Mr. Tod to give to the United States all the benefits of the coasting trade of his empire, on the same terms as his own subjects—the single consideration on his part being the presence of a flag which would guarantee his coasting traffic against the constant annoyance to which it was subjected to the right of search and confis- cation by Her Britannic Majesty's vessels of war. This offer, as we learn, wos transmitted by Mr. Tod to this government. And, further, that although Mr. Webster was inclined to close in with it, in view of the immense advantages it would secure to our commercial marine in that vast and fertile empire drained by the mighty Amazon and its thousand tributaries, the President was fearful of an “entangling alliance ;” and so the liberal overtures of the Brazilian Emperor were declined. Judging from the general policy of this administration in reference to our foreign alfairs, we are inclined to think there is some truth in this re- port. An inquiry may not be proposed in Congress upon & mere Sewanee re} ; but we tru.t that some person who may feel authorized to take the liberty, will make some movement in this matter, with a view of ascertain- ing the facts concerning this extraordinary affair. If our ovornment has thrown away a carte blanche to the coast- ing trade of Braril, it is due to the public, and it is due to Congress and the incoming administration, that the rea- sons for 50 doing should be known. _ If President Fillmore, an the contrary, has done no such thing, it is due to him that tant fact should bo ascertained. All the ednjecturés of the Was! correspondents: of your New York cotemporaries, concerning the parties in negotiation with the proprietors of the Reputlic for the purchase of that journal, are wide of the mark. An old mocratic Jacksonian editor is the man, as we have good reason to believe; and if he succeeds in closing the bar- gain, the Republic will be transformed into a thorough- going democratic paper, with a full corps of the best democratic writers of the day. A. B.C. THE CLAYTON AND BULWER TREATY—PROSPECTS OF ITS ABROGATION—OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA— THE CANADIAN RECIPROCITY NEGOTIATIONS—BUSI- NESS IN THE HOUSE, ETC. Wasnincron, Jan. 144—8 P. M. There is no doubt the Senate will pass a resolution di- reeting that the proper notice shall be given Great Britain, abrogating the Clayton and Bulwer humbug treaty. It is clear that the Senate ratified the treaty under a different construction from that which Great Britain sees fit now to put upon it; therefore, the proper way to overcome the difficulty is to abrogate it. It will not be pretended that Secretary Clayton’s memorandum is of any binding force, unauthorized as it was by the treaty making power. Mr. Clayton unquestionably had more spirit in him than any other Secretary of State we ever bad, and yet, singu- lar to say, the only prominent act of his oiticial daty is declared by the Senate to be a stupid surrender to British pretensions. Mr. Soulé has the floor for Tuesday next, when he will deliver an elaborate speech upon our existing relations towards Cuba and Spain. ‘An effort will be made on Monday in the House, to go to the business on the Speaker's table.

It is not expected back till the last of this month. The alleged possessory rights of the Hudson Bay Company have been omitted from it. It embraces the two subjects— the fisheries and iprocal trade, There is very little chance of its passing the Senate. Among other things, it provides that colonial vessels may obtain American registers. This would bring colonial ship builders in direct competition with ours; and as our builders are ed to pay duties on several articles used im their con ction—iron, cordage, &e.—which the colonists obtain free of duty, the advantages which the Iatter would obtain are mani Independent of this, Cougrs desires to take the initiative in any measure of reciprocal trade. It is also contended that it would be an ample exchange for the freedom of the fisheries, for the United States to do away with the duty of twenty per cent, which is now imposed on fish brought here in British vessels.

Mr. MaRaHAtt (dem.) of Cal., asked leave to introduce a resolution, in order that it might be referred to the Com- raittee on ‘Foreign Affairs, who may report on itat any 2. Objection was made. The resolution referred to is as follows:— “Resolved, That a sum of ten millions of dollars be set apart, out of any funda in the treasury not otherwise ap- propriated, and be placed at the disposal of the President, for the purpore of enabling him, during the recess of Con’ gress, to meet auch exigencies'as may arise out of the momentous subjects connected with the present state of the foreign relations of this country with the other powers of the earth, so liable, on account of their character and complexity, to present themselves, ‘from hour to hour, for practicable and immediate consideration.” ‘THE SMALL NOTH CURRENCY IN TH DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The Houxe went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union on the bill to suppress small notes in the District of Columbia. Mr. Dean, (dem.)of N. Y., wished the bill to be recommit- ted, with instructions to report one authorizing free bank- ing, the issue to be based on United States stocks only, simi- lar to the xystem as it exists in New York, which secures the bill holder against loss. Mr. Ficknx, (dem.) of Ti, explained the state of the currency in this district, saying the old banks—Congress having refused to recharter them—act as joint stock us- sociations, and issue notes of $5 and upwards, and against which there is no law; bat there is a law against the issuing of notes under $5. This has been violated, because of the inefliciency of the statute, which proposes to punish the receiver as well as the issuer of small notes. But the bili under consideration strikes directly at the men who grind out tho shinplasters and flood the country with them, making them liable to indictment for misdemeanor, and, on conviction, to a fine of from $10 to $500, and imprisonment for a term of not less than ten days nor more than one year. Mr. F. opposed the pending amendments, thinking they would only injure the efficiency of the bill. He appealed to his friends not to embarrass the measure with hard money propositions— no State having been able entirely to di ney. He was opposed to banks. Iilin Bank, the Shawneetown Bank, and others; but they blew up. He was against the whole of them. They were worth less concerns. ‘A Voicy—Had you any faro banks? (Laughter.) Mr. Fickrix—Yes; and they are the most honest of tho two kinds of banks. My friend can speak feelingly upon the subject. (Renewed laughter.) The pending amendment was read, to the effect that no bank paper shall be issued in this Distri Mr. Jomssox, (dem.) of Ark., opposed it, showing that it would, if passed, merely open the way for floods of notes from the adjoining States, and thus increase the evil. The amendment was further discussed, and several gen- tlemen argued that the banks here should have their charters renewed, while others wished to enact a free banking Inw. During the debate, Mr. Wasnpurs, (whiz) of Me., op posed the bill, saying it was extremely crude, and it would be almost impracticable to enforce it. Mr. PoLk, (dem.) of Tenn., said he had received change in small bills coming from Hallowell, Maine, signed by the gentleman himself. Some said the bills were bad, while others knew nothing about them. Mr. Wasimurn—they were not signed by me. Mr. Poix—I am glad to hear it. It was in the district of my friend from Ilinois I saw those bills, and I appeal to him. Mr. Carnet, (dem.) of Mll., corroborated the statement of Mr. Polk, but did not know whether it was the name of the gentleman from Maine or not. Mr. WAsHuvRN—They were not signed by me. Mr. Campngii—tIt was either you or your brother. Laughter.) The notes were exceedingly plentiful in my district about election time.

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS—TX'E ASSEMBLY AND THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE—TN.%& CODE—THE CANAL QUESTION—ONSLAUGIIT AGAYNST GOVERNOR SEY- MOUR, ETC. BPECIAL CORRESPOND CK OF THE 3 W YORK HERALD. Aunany, Jan. 14—P. M. The Senate was in session only three quarters of am hour, and no business of note was transac ed, excepting to adjourn over till Monday, for want of business. One day at the close of the session is worth more th’an a wook now. In the House, Mr. Burroughs was excused from serving on the Military Committee. Mr. Dan. Taylor advoosted the excuse. He thought that a sufficient amount of talant would be retained, as there was not mucii provavility that there would be any great need of that kind of talent here- Pisarnenrs not if his slave transit bill was enacted into a law. Considerable debate occurred in referring the various portions of the Governor's message to the appro] committees. That part relating to the Code was referred to # select committee, the chairmanship of wl is conceded to Mr, Loomis, one of the Commissioners of the Code, although a strong effort was made to place it im the hands of the Judiciary Committee, who are s# law yers. In the course of the debate it was stated that the first report made to the Iagislature, some three year. since, by the commissionors, lies still upon the table af unfinished businessn bed When the question ofthe reference of that portion of the me relating to the canals came up, Mr. Bur- roughs took the floor anddenoyneedsthat portion of it im strong terms. Ho said that {t- was by citizens re- siding in the western part of the State, that Governor Seymour would recommend some project for their early completion. During the canvass previous to the e that gentleman (Gov. 8.) had traversed the canal dis- tricts and made speeches, leading the people to believe that he would recommend an amondment of the constitu- tion; instead of which there was noither that nor any other plan proposed, and many persons who had econtri- buted to his election felt indignant that the Governor had not submitted some plan; though, for himself, (Mr. B. he never entertained any faith in the promises ledges made before an elcetion. Before he concluded fe gave way for an adjournment. He will resume bis speech on Monday, and from the books and documents which lay before him, it is evident he intends to give the message a severe scathing. A petition was presented by John Delafeld and others, asking the aid of the State in furnishing county a State maps of their publishing, to every school district in the State. They state that no boundary line of any county is delineated and recorded in other maps, wherel the true location relative to other counties can’ be asoer- tained, and with the exception of the city of New rs no observations have been made to establish the longi- tude of any place, however important, oxcept in such maps as they desire to make out.

Assematy, Jan, 14, 1868. ‘THY REFRRENCE OF THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE—THE CANAL EN LARGEMENT QUESTION, ETC. Mr. Looms, (dem.) of Herkimer, reported a series of resolutions referring the message of the Governor. One referring the report of the Commissioners on Practice and Pleading to a select committee, was loxt; so it goes to the Judiciary. ; ‘The resolution referring so much as relates to the Ca- nal Committee was read. Mr. BunRovns, (independent dem.) of Orleans county, said it had been expected that the Governor would recom- mend the amendment of the constitution, authorizing the speedy enlargement of the canals. He had in his posses- sion papers containing speeches delivered 2y the Governor during the canvass, in which he pledged his support to such amendments of the constitution. Such a recom mendation the people had a right to expect in the mes- sage of the Governor; but no such thing could be found, and the people were greatly disappointed by the omis sion. No distinet policy of enlargement was recommend- ed inthe message. He did not understand the Governor to be in favor of the enlargement of the canal to the full width of seventy fect and depth of seven. He thought no one could expect the enlargement to be completed with $6,000,000. All knew it would require double that amount. The Governor's recommendation contemplated an improved, and not an enlarged, canal. The suggestion of the message was to lengthen certain locks, not enlarge them. An appropriation of $400,000 was recommended to improve the canal, which would not aid to its final en- largement; so much would be thrown away by the aj propriation suggested. ‘The recommendations to forward- ers to build boats. of 240 tons burthen, when no use could be made of them, he thought would not obtain the approval of that class of men. ‘Tho plan profosed by Mr. Hoffman, in 1846, seems to have been the basis of the Governor's plan for improving the canals. We live in an age, (said Mr. B.) when the most gi- gantic schemes are undertaken 4 private enterprise— yet the State, with the immense West beyond it, hesi- tates at an appropriation of only $12,000,000. Individuals could be found who were willing to expend $7,000,000 im the construction of anair line railroad between Albany and Buffalo, to be sustained by the increased business be- tween those points, and yet there was an unwillingness that the State should afford sufficient facilities for the business pressing towards our canals. He was sorry to see the recommendation that the State should wait te vantage of the low prices of labor, tocarry on the public works. He was astonished at such a recommenda tion froma man living ina marble palace, obtained at am annual expense of $2,000 tothe State. It would be better to pay laborers one dollar a day, than try to reduce them to the old plan of a daily compensation of sheop’s head and pluck. The objection to high prices, the allusion te economy, was the special feature of the message. Here, on the motion of Mr. Incanis, the committee rose and reported progress, and on motion, the House adjourn- ed to Monday. Message of Gov. Clifford, of Massachusetts. : Bostoy, Jan. 14, 1853. Governor Clifford was sworn into office, before both branches of the Legislature, at noon to-day, after which he delivered his annual message. He begins by alluding to the deaths of distinguished men during the past year— Fowler, Thompson, and Rantoul, of Massachusetts, and Webster and Clay, of the nation. In relation to the late national contest, he says that, thongh Massachusetts gave her vote to the distinguished citizen who, through long career had proved his patriotism and his title to the confidence of his country, yet she will be ready to unite with ber sister States in sustaining the constitution and perpetuating the Union; that the people of the different States of the Union have no right to withdraw themselves from the full performance of their constitutional obligations, and that all questions arising out of national legislation must be referred to the au- preme judicial tribunal provided by the constitution. The contre y relative to the boundaries of Massachu- setts and Rhode Island is about to be determined in the Supreme Court, they having ordered Rhode Island to ap- near and answer toa bill in equity, which Massachusetts fas fled against her. The cost of legislation in Massa- chusetts has increased, in the two past years, over 1840 to 1842, $144,000, and the Legislature will have to pro- vide for $863 beyond the ordinary contingencies, without taking into account the expenses of the coming Con- stitutional Convention. He thinks the law calling the convention of doubtful constitutionality, and the convention itself altogether inexpedient. He thinks that the debt of the State should be met by direct taxation, rather than by revorting to temporary expedients; he congratulates the people that the Massa- churetts lands in Maine were not sold by the late govern- nt, and thinks they should be offered to Maine ata fair price, and if she declines, to be offered in sruall parcols for cash. He hopes that the fisheries, so important to the poople or Massachusetts, will be favorably adjusted, the valuable rights of our citizens scrupulously main~ d. In regard to the tariff, he thinks that question should be permanently settled, with « reference to all great interests of the country—that the people of the United States should be protected against fraudulent valuations of foreign importers, and that Congress should repeal the duties upon articles which enter into procoss of manufacture. He enters at length into a dis- cussion of the powers of the Legislature and the Executive, and thinks that the duty of the latter is to see all laws faithfully executed, and not to veto a bill, unless unconstitutional or in manifeat wishes of the people, Ho alludes saying that the cause of morals run, by an attempt to give disregard of th to the Liquor law, b: has never gained, in the long it added power, through illegitimate legislation, and that the severest wounds have m inflicted upon it at the hands of its friends, when it has been dragged into the political arena Election of the Governor of Maine.
