No propositions on that hject would be listened to from him. by An important ease was decided in the Supreme Court Mis morning—Cruiz Cerautes vs. United States.

Mr. Sums, (whig) of Conn., presented resolutions of he Legislature of Counceticut, on the subject of the Ne- ‘Di, the repeal of the Missouri compromise, &c. Mr, Cass; (dem..) of Michigan—tI hope that those re solutions, when put into plan English, do not mean another Hariford convention? Mr. Wartre, (dem.,) of California—They come pretty sar it.

I believe the people will forever stand up for that princi ple whieh carried their fathers through the Revolution, and which has given them the most blessed government on the face of the globe. Mr. Surmmi—I leave the Senate to decide who it is that has commenced denunciation of this subject. Did not the honorable Senator from Michigan rise in his place «nd stigmatize theee resolutions as emanating from.a spirit which he Fa see to have been an unpatriotic and an odious spirit?—the spirit of the Hartford Convention. Sir, whether right or wrong, I donot heeitate to say that these resolutions contain the opinions and sentiments of majority of the peaple of the State of Connecticut, of. tie. I should do injustice to the de. bern oy! party of that State, ifI did not ray that they are ut ' and int tos repeal ofthe Missouri compromise; particular they have been most fairly an ably represented in the other wing of this capitol, the | whole tion being democratic, and three of the mem! from the State veting in opposition, and but one in its favor.

Mr. Cass—I hope I may be allowed to express the hope that the cee es loy he ret af hi three days more prot ly. ny ir. with respect to the Wilmot les ve declared over and over again, it is not a new matter, but the Senator has given it an importance to which it is not entitled, I bave explained the whole iter long ago. I have #tated that when tho Imot proviso was first started, had I voted I should have voted in favor of it. But then the subject had not been considered or discussed. Noman had looked into it. It seemed to be a question of liberty or slavery alone, But when the subject came to be discussed, and the very first time it was diseussed, and when I gave a vote upen it, the first was against it; and it was s vote by which I hazarded my political station at home, and ten- dered my resignation by it. It doessnot always do to seek in our own breast for the motives of action of others. They do not They make no from Mi roviso, We frequently do each other creat injustice by doing 80. The position of the Senator is very extraordinary. 1 do not understand it at all. He saysI at one time would favor the Wilmot proviso, and that Iam now denouncing the people of his State for pursuing the same course, Not at all. Ihave not said one word to-day in favor of or against the Wilmot proviso. I do not denounce anybody for being in favor of it. It is a vision of his own imogination. But I object. to such threats as are contained in these papers, for talk of it, and explain it, and expound it, as you please, there is a threat in that paper. ‘That is what I was talking of. It is a threat that they will not submit to the law of the land—not that they are to give up their opinions—not that they are satisfied with their representatives— nothing against it; but that if the measure is allowed to be passed, and become a law of the land, they do not megn to submit to it. I have no objection to the vote of Senators for or re ist the Wilmot proviso. Idrew a parallel between nd another act which was de- nounced—an act of war. During the progress of the war it was denounced. I do not wish to go into that matter; but we know that a convention was held during thatwar. ‘The circumstances are known to the whole country, and I need not repeat them. I will only say that I izust the samo spirit will never again appear in the United States. Mr. Sunn—I Seay that there is any threat in these resolutions, or any’ hing in the shape of a threat. Mr. Case—A threat that they will not obey the law of ‘the land? Mr. Surm#—They say they will not consent to it. I will not consent to it, and I say to the Senator thata very large majority of the people of the Union in the Northern States aro opposed to it, but is that saying that we are going to involve this country in a civil war, that we are about to tako up arms against Congress? | Not at all, sir, They will oppose it poli tically, they will oppose it constitutionally, they will oppose it’ through the ef- forts of their representatives in the two houses of Con- giess. That is all that there is in the resolution. There is nothing in it in the shape of a threat. tie zeentaiions were ordered to lie on the table and be printed. RE-ORGANIZING THE NAVI.

AMERICAN CONSULS AND THB SLAVE TRADE. Mr. Crayrox, (whig) of Del., offered the following re solation:— Resolved. That th Committee on Fors Relations be instructed to inquireinto the expediency of providing b; law for auch reetiievions upon the power of Ame jean Cor sula, raiding in the Spanish West India I ten letters onthe transfer of American vostels in th Je’ande as will prevent the abure of the American fing in Protecting persons engaced in the African slave trade. Mr. CLayTon said that since ’52, the slave trade had fearfully increased in Cuba. Previous to that time, it had been almost exclusively in Brazil. During the a and . year, thousands of negrocs had been ught both the eastand the west coasts of Africa to Cuba. The trade had been principally carried on in American ¥ with American captains and crews, and thus abusf@Wond disgracing our flag. This fact had attracted the attention of the civilized world. Good men at the South as well as the North, deplored this infernal trade, and would go as far as men of the North, to break itup. These vessels, all built in the United States, carried out cargocs to Havana, and were sold, the captain being nominally the greatest owner. Instead of returning to the United States, for a new register, they give up the old one ani receive from the Awerican Consul what is called a sea letter, which is Practically w new register. | With 2 new cargo of empty casks and the veteel properly fitted, the eaptain sails for the east coast of Africa. His sea letters protect him from search by Dritish or French cruisers, and the | chances are but one ina thousand that he is captured before he takes his complement of Africans, and on his return to Cuba. The facility which these sea letters af- ford to vessels to engage in this traffic requires atten- tion. £enators from ouisians and Milage ne Seas resee, ons concerning the suppos The 8} Tr the made a deep impression on his mind. Since then he had given the subject his a teniion, and from present information before him, was forced now to doubt the correctness of the judgment to wich the Senator had arrived. At ail events, Cuba be Africanized, it wil be done means of American vessels and American crews, for no other nation affords the same facilities, for selling ships in foreign ports, and not by consent or encouragement the Spanish or Cuban authorities. We had the Diario of Havana, of late date, in which were several decrees of the Captain-General, One of them required a registration of slaves in Cuba, with a view of ascertaining if any additions had been made to their number from abroad, in violation of exis! trea- tier. The agents of the go ‘ernment, in their searches, easily deteeted the recently imported Afriean from those raised on the ieland. What was the duty of the officers? These negroes were free. Though kidnapped, they had never been slaves, and were wholly unacqnainted with the Spanish ages ‘Fhe authorities treated them as | free, but, for their own preservation, bound them out as apprentices one year. This, doubtless, was a case spoken of by the Senator from. Louisiana, where. the Captain- General teok one of the apprentices himself. Mr. Stavern, (dem.) of La., said he bad not referred to | the — free or binding out as apprentices those who bad been found upon the island in violation of treaties, but had referred to the direct means contemplated by the Spanish government to secure a lange importation of barbarian Africans, not as slaves, but as payee He had shown that by regulations for their transportation to Cuba, four negros were allowed to be brought to each ton of the vessel. Such means, jo had shown, was a revival of the slave trade in all its horrozs. Mr. Crayton still thought the Senator was mistaken. In the Havana paper of the 12th as a decree providin for the importation into Cuba of free laborers, consiat- ing of Spaniards, Chinese, Coolies, and Indians, from Yucatan: but not one word was said respecting Africans. He would deplore any effnrt to Africanize Cuba as much asanyone, He knew no calamity which could befall Cuba so great as that. No act could be conceived more | suicidal for Spain herself. The United States had offered $100,000,000 for Cuba. Spain owes Innd $90,000,000. He did not believe the pl lwnthropy of Spain or England would throw aside this sum merely, to emuncipate slaves in Cuba. Cuba was the market for flour and some other products of cld Spain. The fact that the ogriculturists of Spain bad a monopoly in the trace with Cube of flour, was one of the greatest obstacles to any cession by Spain of Cuba. ‘This Interest was all powerful in Spain. No administra- tion could stand a day who would favor any to destroy the monopoly of trade with Cada. terest from the sanre motive would resist the Africaniza- tion of Cuba. He believed there was nothing further from the intention of the Spanish government than to emancipate the slaves in Cuba, which would result in the immediate loss to her of the island. Mr. Werrer objected to this discustion of a matter now pending before the Committee on Foreign Relations, par- ticularly by members of that committee. He knew it been the practice in the Senate to introduce resolutions for the purpose of hanging speeches on them, but he thought it a practice more honored in the breach than in the observance. Mr, Marzony said he knew it would be highly adverse to | the iaterest of Spain to Africanize Cuba. He then ex- plained the great commercial importance Cuba was to syain. He looked upon _ as preparing for a state of | things which ‘she would produce in Cuba the mo- ment when she should find herself unable to retain it. | He said the African slave trade could not be carried on in | Cuba without the knowledge of the authorities. The an- | owal mortality Sineny slaves. wenke great in Cuba, that | had not the number constantly augmented by im- | portation, the slave population would have died out long | since. h on Minister did not deny the Paseititie Gat Cubs would |. ceedings in committee, except todetormine whethor the { ultimately become a part of the United States.

THB CONNECTICUT ANTI-NEBRASKA RESOLUTIONS, Mr. Pratt, (dem.) of Conn, prosented resolutions from the Connecticut Legislature against the Nebraska bill. THE NEBRASKA BILL. Mr. Ricuarpson, (dem.) of Il., moved the suspension of the rules for the purpose of going into Committee of Whole on the Nebraska bill. Mr. Wurerer, (dem.) of N. Y., asked leave to offer the following resolution:— Resolved, That the Prosident be requested to furnish this H copies of all documents reespondence in Funder his control, in gelation to the al- 8 o' egrevsions of the author the of or the authorities of Ath in that kingdot ost ights of Dr King, formerly an consul; and of the communications from Athens, or elsewhere, in relation thereto. Mr. Cumemay, (dem.) of N. C., objected. Mr. Wuxxier moved a suspension of the rules. The Sreaxen decided that the question on Mr. Richara- ron’s motion must be put first. Mr. Dean, (dem.) of N.

The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Nebraska bill, Mr. Olds in the chair. <rkVHENS, (Whig) of Ga.—I move to strike out the enacting clause. Ido this to cut off all amendments, and to have the bill reported to the House and voted upon. (Sensation and expressions of surprise.) In. de- fence of this motion I quote the 119th rule:—“A motion to strike out the enacting words of a bill shall have the precevence of a motion to amend, and if carried shall be considered equivalent to its rejection.” Now, let the committee strike out the enacting clause of this bill, and let it thus be reported to the House and have no further amendments. When we get into the House the question will be on agreeing to the report. The friends of the bill will not vote dewn the motion—then we will have the bill to vote on. Vorces—"That’s it?” —'Good"'—‘Go ahead.’? It will then be in order for the chairman of the Com- mittee on Territcries to move his substitute as an amend- ment, which all of us want to vote on. The friends of the bill, standing together, will be bronght to vote di. rectly onthe measure; in ‘this way we will get rid of continuous motions to amend. Imake this motion be- cante it is time we. were voting on the bill. Its friends and enemies have discussed it in the Senate, in the House, and throughout the country. . The mind of every man, I doubt not, is made up—already we have had mo- tions to amend the depecinas features. Mr. GiwpinGs, (abolition) of Ohio, interrupted the gentleman, raising the question that his motion was not in order, because they could not go back to the enacting clause of the bill, ‘The Cuamman overruled his point, saying the rule was No doubt of that. specially adapted for that purpo izparD, (dem.) of N.

Tue proposition is not debateable. (Much excitement and confusion during these proceedings.) Mr. CHANDLER resumed. I am satisfied that any one of the majority must dislike to raise such a qygstion— it must be painful to start point of this kind here, whatever ruling may be made on the question of order. The minority have stood before the House on the consti- tution of the country, and tke rules which the House has not recognized by the constitution of the country, and by the rules of the House. But the ordersare violatel— Mr. Orr, (dem.) of 8. ©. in vociferous cries of ‘Order. Mr. Cuaxprer—I am satisfied the order indicated is not contemplated by the rules. Having driven the min- bef from five minute debater, they are deprived of that thelter. Mr. Wasunvry, (whig) of Me., referred to the note to 11th rule, as quoted by Stephens, to show the practice of the House was contrary to what that gentleman proposed. The rights of the minority were thus to be violated. (Loud calla to order.) The Cuamman decided the motion to strike out in or- cer?

Messrs. Faniry, (dem.) of Me., and S1on, (whig) of N. ¥., severally cried out to the same effect, and were loudly called to order. The Cuaimman declared the question carried, the mi- nority not baving voted. Cries of ‘Count the other side’’—‘ ‘Question, question.” The Cnammanx said:—Those in the negative will now pass between the tellers Mr. Cawrmet, (free soil) of Ohio—About one will pass through, and he suited his action to tire words; however, twenty-one others followed his example. ‘The vote was announced—103 against 22, so the enact- ing clauce was stricken out.

Various other motions were made to adjourn, &c., and voted down by yeas and nays. Mr. Waten, (dem.) of N.

Mr. Wsisa--I withdraw the argument, as the gentle- man can’t stand it. (Laught The conclusion of the point of order was as follows :— “That the majority, during:the whole discussion of the question now at issue, have already acted with a libe- rality and forbearanee unparaileled, and that any further extension of it, while wersive of tho public interest, would tend to establish a preeedent which would enable any captious minority to entirely control the legislation of the country.’” Additional motions to adjourn, appeals from the deci- sion of the Chair, &c., were severally voted on by yeas and nays, the minority thus fighting the majority. ~ 2 o'CLock P.

WE vette pred 21, my iy > | Fishing Treaty Project Agreed Upon—Its submission to Mo) eam Convention to Consider it—Reciprocity of Trade. ‘A project of a treaty for the adjustment of the fishing question and the establishment of reciprocity of trade be- tween the United States and the British North American colonies was agreed upon, recently, by Mr. Marcy and the British minister, Me Crampton, and submitted tothe British government.’ The project was assented to by the British government, upon the condition of its acceptance by the colonies whose interests are to be affected by it. A convention of delegates from the several colonies ii about to be held, for the purpose of considering and de- elding upon the proposition. The delegates are men of standing and ability. There can be no doubt that Canada will assent to the measure, but the fishing provinces having little interest in reciprocal trade, may interpose objections to it. An t of the U.S. has held inter- views with the colonial authorities on the subject, and made such explanations as will probably promote the ac ceptance of the project. [he conclusion of the proposed treaty will greatly pro- mote the fishing and navigating interests, and also the commerce of the United States, and prevent the possi- bility of the occurrence of any future difficulty between Great Britain and the United States in reference to colo matters. Besides, it will greatly encourage the rican policy of expansion. Marine Afin’ THE WRECKED VESSELS AT SQUAN BEACH. ‘The ship Montezuma lays as per last accounts, full of water.
