Now we cau act understandiogly, Mr. Lawton, of Georgia—Ido not know that there any distinct resolution before the house, excepting that of Gen. Quitman, to divide the subjects of the report of the General Committee, I don’t think we should concentrate 1 our powers upon the Mississippi river, at the sac ifica of the smaller rivers of our country. These smal are too important to the people ont Lem. and to the ports at their mouths, to be pas: over. Why is it that so apy railroads are now ttretcbing towards our eastern borders and to all our Atlantic ports, exeept for the rea- son that those ports are important on account of their situation at the mouth of these small rivers? The State of Georgia, without any other sid than ber own capital and ber own enercy, bas built over six hundred and eighty miles of rail:oad, conarcting with the West, a: @ coxt of nearly fifteen millions of doilars, all paid for’ ail in opera- tion, apd all poying a bandsome divisesd. (Applause ) While these roada @ been built by the woalth of our own State, have we no right to clsim assistance from the States of the Wert for the reuioval of obstructions in the mouths of our harbors? (Applanse.) The bars at the mouths of our rivers enclose harbors the very Gnest that ‘ever floated a vessel unon its waters, were created by sinking of ships in tbe revolu‘ionary war, to keep out cur enewier, And this is a great fact, which gives us a claim upon our sister States and the geneca! government Under these circumstances we cannot be expected to for- et the interests of the country whi ¥e@ represent, yielding our entire powers to the con ration of the Michissippl, as de:ired by the resolution. ‘The ttle city of Savannsh subreribed no Jess thau fi dollars for the construction of railroads, when the suc- cess of railways was # problem andan uncertainty. We are conscious that we are here in a very sotall minor but we are also conscious that we cun expec justis here, and that the great West will not forget her origin. Mr. Hopsoy, of Mirsissippi—I am sorry that ry gel tleman in this Convention should arise to oppose tne im- Eset of tbe Desmoines river. Why, sir. if we refuse is, we cut off every doller of the revenue that i: vow realized from the great lead mies of the North. I know there are water communication: from our lead miues to Ne rleans; but the rapids in those water communic; tions are s0 that we cannot sarin them, and go we a: deprived, ibrough them, from benefitting the South or ourrelves—end I stigmatize this a8 » cut-throat policy, which tends te out off the aveaues of our trade with the Southern ports. These improvements have been reported by the United States Lopograpbical Sugineer as a national improvement, one that would redound to the benefit of the whole nation. Aud, sir, unless we break down these obstructions which close up our navigation, it is the South which will beoome the nufferers, aud therofore this should be looked upon as a great Southern measura Mr. Warxer, of Louisiana—We, from Louisiana, Gnd ourselves very reluctantly compelled, by the course that things have iaken, to act afirma- tively, and veg offensively, to some persons of Convention. The two gendemen who have last spoken have tended to promote sectional feelings, which ‘wé are forry to see. itiay has marked out New Or- leans to be the great port of the empire of the Mississip- i, and ali the resolutions and all the cunventions which ever met cannot alter this destiny. I thik tho removal we 1 isno of the bar of the Mississippi iv a matter of far greater im- portance then the improvements suggested by the gentle- mo from Missouri; and therefore I consider that the two improvements should be taken up eepsrately, because some may not be willing to vote for both improvements. ‘Wo came here expecting but little aid from the Conven. tion. We did not intend to claim it, nor do we intend to indul in an yextravagant eulogy of ourselves. But we did expect to convention such as this, meeting = 0 the waters of the Mississippi, would consider the matter of img ig these grest wa'ers free from partial and sac- tional feelings, The Hesteaiget river may have no bottom, but yet it is fed by the Almighty God, and will outlive all your railroads. fe did expect that some attention would be given to this great stream. We did not expect to go on mies! iterrrises to make cotton shirts for little negro babie: it to decide how we should act to improve the great powers God has delegated to us. Let the Mississippi be drainet and you will find her the grainery of the world, and not becowe depen?ont uzer theSouth American nations. I know, when these rratters have been brought up in Congress, that eome gen- tieman would rise and move appropriations to improve Goose creek and Duck river; and then Congress would be appealed to, to avoid sectional feelings. We did not ox- pect to find amy such action here. The bar atthe mouth of the Mississippi is sometimes in such a state that ves- sels cannot cross it, and sometimes as many as thirty ships are stuck in the mud. The importance of remuv- ing thece obstructions ahould be deemed a matter of par- amount importance, Therefore, I offer the following re- solutior Resolved.

I thought this question of imy the mouth of the Mis'ssippi had been settled eight years ago, when appropriation after appropristion was made fer improving this great §cditerranoan of our country. The State that I have the houor to represent is alittle resrer the point we wieh to improve than the State of the gentleman from New Orleans, yet we are not the more selfish in our cisims.

The grass may grow in the ets of New Or- leans if sho is to depend cutirely upon hir situation at the mouth of the Mississippi. She must depend upon the commerce of the West, and must yield to ‘he acts which will develope the commercia! interests of the country. Gen. Qormax—I am sorry that I am called upon to maken explaration upon this subject. Iam compelled to do this fom the very illibersl views taken by the two gentlemen from Missouri. What right, I ack, have those gentlemen toaccue me of sectional fealings ? ‘How much more justifiably may I attribute to them the intention to kill the eavse of this Convention. by riding it to death.

News from Buenos Ayres. [From the Boston Courier, June 15 ] By the Prussian brig Leopold, which arvived at this pare yesterday afternoon, we baye Buenos Ayres papors 0 the 20th April. ‘ The civil wer continues, with no Preenest of an accom- modation. Urquiza, the ‘insurgent General, had refused to ratify a treaty of peace recently negotiated; and the Buenos Ayrean pavers are full of yiolent declamation sgainst his ‘“dissimulation, bed faith, infamy, and supine idictiem.”” Urquiza has issued a proclamation, declaring the ports of Zsrata, Sar: Fernorda, Ensenada, ard Salada, open to foreign commerce. Ships of all friendly nations are per- | mitted to Icad and unload cargovs, and carry on aay kind of legitimate trade at those places. How fer Gen. Urqni- zm possesses tho power to enforce the terms of this pro- clawation we aro not informed. The Buenos Ayrean jourvals declare that this meu: in direct contradic- tion to the furdameptal laws of the country. Urquiza’s forces were in the immediate neighborhood of the city of Buencs Ayres, but we have no statements as to the streng'h of cith:r perty. A naval engagement took place in the river oa the 13th, but the particulars had not renched the cit v7.

On the contrary, that it resisted, repelied, and protested egainst this measure in every porsible and con- ceivable msnner. That Geu. Urquiza recognized the plies and in £sptember declared that he abaudoned wenos Ayres to her urn fate, and would proceed to in- sugurate a rich and powerful republic from the thir‘een retaining provinces. ‘That subsequently, migunderstand- ings betwen Buenos Ayres and Eutre Rios were satisfac: torily erranged by the treaty of March 9th and upon this treaty the Packe says, in its humble opiaion, the foreign diplumatic agenis are bound to take their definite and Gnal sind. It adds :—- “In the name of humanity, civilizsiion, commercs, and the immense amount of actual and prospective interests which we huve shown to be ut stake, let them intimate to both partes the proprivty and the necessity of abiding by the stipulations o/ the treaty; and as a further motive aud inducement for compliance, let England, Freace, the United States, Brozli, avd ail others who chose to join with them, offer a conjoint guarantee for its faithful ob- fervance and execution, for two yesrs, four years, or such tine as may be requisite to frame and inaugurate the nationel constitution.” The Packed has received an ‘incredible report,” that the French authorities in the river have accommodated Gen. Urqniza with 12 pieces of cannon, taken from a Buenos Ayres vessel, and detained by the French since the intervention of 1845 2 ‘The Packet raya notiiteg any fighting, except that the fring of canzon waa heard on the morning of the 16th. in protection, it wus presnmed, of foraging parties, Spanich dollars were 213; Patriot doubloons, 337 a 35534; Exchange on England, 60s, At Montevideo things were quiet.

Bostoy, June 15, 1853, We have some additional items of interest from Buenos Ayres, by the bark Izapold, in addition to these reported last pight. On the 18th April an engagement tock place betweon the squadron of Urquiza, consisting of several steamers, and that of the Buenos Ayreans, consisting of Ave or six sailing veasels. The action lasted two hours, and result- ed in the capture of two of the best vossels of the Buenos Ayreans, in one of which was the admiral of the fleet, who deserted his vessel and excaped in a boat tosanother. fome dozen persons were killed, two officers wounded, and all on board of two vessels taken prisoners, Amongat the prisoners was Mr. Craves, Jr., belonging to an emi- nent Spanish house in Buenos Ayres, and well known in this country, for whose life fears were entertained. The captain of the Leopold states that he was present when a Buenos Ayrean Colonel, wounded in an engagement, was brought in prisoner by the outsiders, and that he saw bis head cut off, Just as the Teopold left, there was a rumor that the Buenos Ayreans had accepted the mediation of the Bra- zilian cand Bolivian ministers. Urquiza was attempting to procure additional steamers for the purpose of block- ading Buenos Ayres. Ho» had also opaned the ports of Zarate, San Foruando and Salada, as outlets for goods from the interior.
