Wasmineton, June 8, 1854. It has already been announced to you that the Spanish government had agreed to remit the fine of $6,000 im. posed on the owners of the Black Warrior. It now ap- pears by the despatches and letters to the Spanish and ‘English Mipisters, to our own government and to others in ‘this city, that the Spanish government positively refused ‘to allow any damage that may have resulted to the owners of the Black Warrior. But the English govern- ment fearing a rupture between Spain and the United States, interposed at thia point of the nogociations and induced Spain to agree to pay all reasonable losses, Spain has eccordingly asked our government for an eati- mate of the actuzl damages. This dificulty, therefore, a8 far as money is concerned, may be considered as nottled. THIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate, Wasainaton, June 8, 1854.

Mr. Jowes, (dem.) of Tenn., moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole on the State of tue Union. Mr. Haves, (whig) of N. ¥., offered a resolution to close the de “ote on the Pacific Railroad bill on Tuesday next, at two o'clock. Mr. Hespescxs, (dem ) of Ind., thought that was too soon. Mr. Hovsrox, (dem.) of Ala., would prefer an earlier day. Mr Baxtos, (dem.) of Mo., wished to express his views i 2¢ Railroad bill. bg gs eaid he would not press his resolution to” a swte now, for (he House would be found to want a quo- ‘and be prevented from going into Committee of the Whole, Nest Monday he should submit the question.

He would read can article which appeared in the Washington Union of ‘this m a ished in that paper for the ae otse Dembers of the Senate by name, and by lu members of this body.

Air domes, (icm.) of ‘Tenn., without intending to take yart in the controversy—I submit there is nothing in the matter whicl the practice of the House would authorise as a question of privilege. if the editor of a newspaper has aseailed 2 member of this House, that is, in a capacity different fiow an officer of this House, and in thatof a private individual. The Srxaxen sustained that view, but novertheless thought Mr. Giddings hada right to present the question of privilego im forny of a resolution. J) After conversation, on this point, Mr, Gilding submitted ing — Whereas, A O and editor and P.

C.—I wish to call attention to the precise point. | understand tho Speaker to say the public printer has a right to come on thle floor, and. the gentleman from Ohio to offer a resolution to deprive him of this privilege. To expel an officer is a question of pristiexe, sod the gentleman submits the proposition on his own responsibility fuom the reading of the article, I think it much less violent in tone than his speeches. If he is apprehensive of a personal attack he has a right to ask protection, and if he makes out a proper case I shail vote to give hima guard, or otherwise protect him as I would any other member. Mr. Musson (dem.) of Va—I take it for granted that Mr. Nicholeon is an officer of the House, and may be | expelled. I thins it right he is entitled to the privilege of | the floer; but I conceive he is not entitled to admission a8 the editor of the Union. The other persons connected with him in the resolution are only entitled to the privilege as reporters of that paper, the questions ought to be separated. If it is proposed to expel Mr. Nicholron #s an officer of the House, it may be proper to inquire whether he has done anything as cach to justify his expulsion. If the object is to expel the editor and reporters of the Unicn as persons eatitled to the re- porters’ desks and not os oflicers of the House, then it is right to inquire whether any of them has done anything in the capacity of reporter to subject them to expulsion, Therefore, the resolution does not properly present a question of privilege. Mr. Hamurron, (cem.) of Md.—Let’s lay the resolution on the tablo, ta” pipe) to other business. The Srraxek—The gentleman from Ohio has a rigkt to move to expel an officer of the House, and is entitled to the floor. Mx. GippixGs—I yield one half of my time to my col- league. Mr. Oups—I can get the floor after you have done. Mr. Gippings—I wish to say the question rosts wilh the majority, and not with me. I wish to call attention to the emphatic language of the article, which is in ous word, “protection and obedience are reciprocal and in- separable, and those who, like the abolition incendiaries, Parker, Phillips, Giddings and others, are incessantly precision their hostility to the laws and the constitu- ion, and stimulating men, women and children to vio- late them as a sacred duty, in my opinion have no claim to the protection of those laws or that constitution.’” Mr. Lavi, (dem.) of Oregon—I ask the gentleman whether be is apprehensive of personal dang Mr. Giopiscs—My friend will exouse me.

Mr. Laxe—I can only say, ‘Conscience makes cowar of us all.” I propote to go security for the gentleman's | Mr. Grpprvcs—I understand him to say he will go my security I bave not asked for it. I again call attention to the editor’s remarks in which he pronounces that my- sell «i others are without the pale of the law, and that any asenssin whatever may commit murder on us. Lt re- mains for the. administration, whoxe organ this paper is, to say whether it will maintain editors and reporters of this character and description. I have to say in reply to my colleague, who talks about my speech in Boston, that T have served too long here to permit myself to be called in question for what I bave said in this hall or elsewhere. He has*not yet got the power, although hall say, and he is cervile to it, to teil me what I 5! where I shall speak. I Bave been too long here to let gentlemen crack their whips over me. ‘They must assail freemen with language like that as though they were not acquainted with their rights. Let it be understood 1 am here as a member of this body, by the grace of God and the favor of my constituents, will maintain the rights of both. I have not asked protec- tion. When I do I will let this body know it. Task the House to protect itself and the purity and dignity of the representative character. If I recollect aright, my col- league (Olds) voted to expel the: reporter of the 7ribune for he ‘ing up a colleague of his to ridicule. (A Voice— “ about Sawyer eating Ree ”” Ha! ha!) 1 willsay to the gentleman from Virginia (Millson) the resolution is nearly in the exact language used when expelling the reporter for the 7ribune, and that resolution was adopted by the democratic party of the House. As to the reporters of the Union I know not who they are. They may be among my best friends. All I nek is that gentlemen will record their names, and hold upan assassin like him who figores in the Union this morning to men of the world; place your names on record, and let posterity know whether you tolerate a man who writes an article of sucha description. Speak to your constituents and let them understand it. He may read me out of the pale of human society, but the day wilh come when no indi- vidua! will have that power or authority, Not expecting aguin to occupy the flgor, I appeal to every individual whether they will tolerate # man who writes such arti- cles as these to which he had referred. It has been sug- gested that it ianot an editorial article, but it is under anothername. I shall not argue the responsibility of editors for what they put forth. The presumption is Mr. Nicholson wrote the article another name to hide himself from the public. Hehas placed it before the country and the House, and for this let him be held responsible, r. Jongs, of Tenn., here referred to the records to show the proceedings expelling the 7ribune reporter for giving a personal description of the domestic habits of Dir. Sawyer, such as eating sausages in the lobby, and contending that case and this were nog analogous in their cbaracter as to privilege. ‘The Srxaken said—The question of privilege, as en- tertained, was not besed on what appeared in the Cnion, but on the resolution itself. Mr. Urps—I do not propose to question the conduct of my colleague for what he has been pleased to do or say here or elsewhere. Ido not propose to arraign him be- fore this body, for others of his colleagues gave their votes for the Nebraska bill under the influence of bribery and corruption. But I allude to it for the pur- pose cf showing that this appeal for protection does not come from him with a good grace who could leave his colleagues and go to a distant city, and there, assassin like, stab private reputation in the dark when his col- leagues were not there to reply to him. When he ma the accusation he must have known in his heart it was fulse in conception and utterance. Mr. Gippincs—Do@s my colleague speak for himself or for others? Mr. Orps—Ah, do I speak for myself or for others? I speak for myzelt and others, and I speak to him and to clhers. What I said I did not say in the dark, nor in Boston, where the abolitionists could protect me in what I said, like my colleague. What I said is on the floor of the American Congress, and for him and others to hear, that he who comes here and asks for protection has no right to claim it, when he can go away and, assassin like, stab his colleague and give utterance to what is fale in inception and has no existence except in his own brain. But my colleague says he does not seek protec- tion for fear of personal violence, but wants the House to take care of its own dignity. If I recollect right there was a memorable occasion when the House aid undertake to preserve its dignity—when the conduct of my colleague was such that, under a vote of censure, hé sew fit to resign his seat. Like the man who was Kicked down stairs, he said he loft before the Tow commenced. | (Laughter,) A pretty, thing to preserve the dignity of the Mouse. How long was it | preserved? Ihave already said, he who comes here to make accusations, should come with clear hands and a pure heart. Can he do so? If those colleagues who voted with him on certain questions, felt an apprehen- sion of personal violence, why do not they, too, claim protection, if they cannot protect themselves? Have they been threatened? Did not the organ of a certain party callon incendiaries to apply the torch to the ca- pitol, and destroy the inmates beneath the crambling ruins? Let me refer to what his colleagues ia fanati- cism say:—Cassius M. Clay advises that traitors be unished asan example for all future time. Every man, she remay ks, who voted for the repeal of the Missouri com: promiee, deserves death; but, he adds, there is no way of inflicting: LA pea So thought Horace Greeley; there- fore, he called on the incendiary to apply the torch; 80 thinks Wendell Phillips and Theodore Parker, and think strong minded women of the North; and it is ad- vised that they who _ escape the halter shall be broken on the wheel of public opinion. This is whot m; hgue undertakes to ¢éo. How? By branding his eol- leocues as being bribed, and making statements false in inception and utterance. Break them on the wheel o° public opinion? Let them create public opinion, You cannot reach them by blows. [hey have not the cour age to apply the torch to the capitol, but they have tho perronal courage to go to on ond stab repu tation, and call on thoir hearers to crash those who differ from them in opinion on the wheel of public opinion, And now, one of them comes skulking back and asks the’ expulsion of the pub- lic printer for giving the truth as it relates to my col- league. I feel that I have done my colleague a service, for every attack made on him by a lover of the constitu- tien, and on the fanaticism of the party with which he acts, only helps to build him np and return him to occu- Py a seat inthis hall. My colleague talks about kicking Southerners with some kind of bee ary Had right meas- ures on this floor. He knows what it is to kicked. My colleague was always man of peace, and has con- sistently voted against all war measures. If « personal altercation should occur it would be coffee for two in- stead of pistols for two. I move the resolution be laid on the table. Mr. Grmpmas—I hope my colleague will withdraw that motion. Mr, Otps—Let him say whot he has to say in Boston. Several gentlemen called for the reading of both the resolution and the communication. The question was taken aye Paying the resolution om the table—77 against 29. 0 quorum. The House was then called, when one hundred and ur members answered to their names. The was again taken on la; que the resolution on the table. No quorum —T0 againat 31 cs ‘The House 82 against 8) refused to adjourn. Another call of the House was ordered. Mr. CaMpneLt moved that the House adjourn. They | could not, he said, keep a quorum here for five montha, and could’ not, therefore, adjourn until Monday, but when they adjourn, let it be the understanding that the ad- journment is till Monday.

AW, LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE. Address of J. B. Wakely, HISRORICAL SKETCH OF COMMUNIPAW, &., ke, ke. Yesterday was 0 groat day in the history of the ancten and celebrata,| commonwealth of Communipaw. Nearly three hundred years have clapsei since our phiogmatic Dutch ancestgms, (for New York, it is said, was fiest set- tled by emigragits from that romantic locality,) first nat their foot upon its shores; but up to the preseat time. no edifice that cou ld be dignified with the titie of church has been erected there. But, if there was no house of worabip, it must yt, therefore, be inferred that tho citizens ef that vena\rable republic were devoid of re- ligion, for history says that it has ever beon distinguishod for the quiet and unaseumming manners of its people, and their Christian piety and veal. Yesterday, however, the corner stone of a new Metimdist Episcopal Church was lald, and the occasion appeared to be one of gsneral re- joicing among the inhabitants. The members of the Metliodist persuasion have herotefore held dive ser- vice in the schoolhouse; but finding the aceommodstions which it afforded rather limited for the constantly in- creasing dexoands made upon it, they resolved on erect ing » more suitable edifice for the purpose. At prezent, it counts over one hundred mombers, which, considér- Ing the population of “the Republic,” is a large num- Ver, Thy majority of these, we understand, are desceid- ants of ()'r original Dutely settlers, and they still besr in their appearance and manners unmistakeable maria of their ovigin. We have not scen tho official records of the censun, but the population is estimated at about five hundred. Communipaw proper, that is, “the city,” ix not more than three miles from Now York, yet it is 80 secluded from the busy world that one would imagine it was a hundred miles away from the great metropolis. Every year we have a grand celvbratidn of the Landing of the “Pilgrim Fathers; but who thinks of sig- palizing the anniversary of thet day on which the sturdy Dutch landed on the Jersey shore? Within sight | | | | trees have fallen. of this restless city, add within the hearing of its never ceasing din aud tumult, hardly one out of every hundred of our population know of its whereabouts. ‘Some time ago it was stated that a vessel hed broken from its moor- ings and drifted un the Communipaw beach, when every- one wanted to know whore it was situated. They Lad heard of it often, or had read of it in “Knickerbocker’s History of New York,” but of its locality they were on- irely ignorant. It must not be supposed, however, that because it is comparatively unknown to New Yorkers, and fo little frequented, it possesses no attractions, For a summer resort it will compare favorabiy with many in the vicinity, and it would be difficult to find its equal in all New Jersey for quiet beauty and) picturesque scene- ry.

Communipaw is im mortalized. Itis identified with the earliest history of our country. It is not its magnitude, but ita antiquity, that has given it immortality. It was an Indian village, and retains its Indian name. 1 know there are some who tell us that it received its name from Michael Puauw, who purchased a large tract of land extending from Ho- boken to Amboy—inoluding Staten Island, which was called by the name of Pavonia. But I’ believe the general and most correct opinion is that it retains the old Indian name. ere Was a community of Indians—a fraternity of savages. After the Dutch landed here they continued its old name—just as we have retained the old Indian names of many places, It is worthy of note that while many other places have changed their names, New Amsierdam becomes New York ; Communipaw remains unchanged, whether in babited by Indians, Dutch or English. There are times when thought is very busy reviewing the past, contem- plating the present and anticipating the future. This, with us, is one of those periods. If we loox back a tew hundred years ogo, this vast continopt, with its lofty mountains and beautiful valleys, its splendid lakes and noble rivers, was unknown to the lized world. They thought the world was imperfect, and dreamed there must be some beautiful country in the miguty West ; but it was only a dream. But what was then a drenm, shortly after became a glorious reality. ‘sis somewhat strange that what led to the et of America, and what’ led to- the discoverk of this magnificeat bay and noble river was the thing, viz: a desire to find a, northwest * passage to the East Indies. ‘This led to: discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, ani to the diseo- yers of this bay aid river by Henry Hudson. Tis singa- lar—two whales ascenced this river, perhaps to find a northy est passage to the Pacifie Ocean; but they were as much mistaken as Hudson, and they wot ashore near (he same | mouth of the Mohawk river, and we never heard of their returning. The 12th of September, 1609-245 years ago —was an era in the history of this country, and in tho history of the worid. Astrange sight waa bebeldin this beautiful bay. A vessel such as had never been seen before was feen sailing upon its blue bosam, Those on boa were of different complexion from the natives of this country. They were pale faces—were whito. It proved to be the Half Moon, commanded by Hendrik Hudson, a celebrated navigator, who, after hiaving explored the bay and river that bears his name, retnrued to Europe. Hudson did not call the noble river after himself, but Great River, or Great River of the Mountains. It was called Nocth river to distinguish it from the South river, or Delaware. How magnidcent must have been the scenery at that time—nature in her awful wildness and naked grandeur! The white man’s foot hu never trod the seil—the ‘white man’s voice bere hal never been heard. This splendid bay, unsurpassed by any in the world; these islands, that so beautifally stud the harbor— the islands and the main, covered with lofty trees plant ed by God’s own band. ‘The magnificent oak and other trees, rearing their lofty heads; the birds in the trees making the air redolent with their music—the wild flowers blooming in beauty—all nature in delicious wild- ress. The beaver making his dam—the otter playing in the water—the deer feeding undisturbed along the shore —the Indian roaming over these hills and penetrating the forest, visiting these islands and paddling his canoe upon these waters; all must have been perfectly en chanting—beautiful—grand — magrificeat — overwhelm ing. Who would not Ifke to have witnessed the scens? temple to the worship of the Ifving God, made with nds, was erected in this New World. ‘fhe In- s worshipped the Great Spirit in God’s great hedral—in nature’s magniicent temple. What a mighty change since ‘that day! The Indians have melted away before the sun of Civilization. The loft: The wild flowers have disappeare: ‘The wild beasts are no more. The wilderness and the solitary place have been made glad, and the desert re joiced and blossomed as the rose. That splendid island, Manhattan, was then inhabited by a warlike race of In- dians called the Manbattas. That island, where now is the empire city of the Empire State—witi its half mil- lion of inbabitants—its commerce, whose sails whiten every sea, and visit every harbor ‘on the globe, distia- guished for its wealth, fashion, splendor—for its mer- chant princes, and its palaces surrounded by vessels, whose masts are so numerous they look like forest trees; with its numerous and splendid temples, with lofty spires ascending upwards towards heaven, catching the earliest and latest rays of the sun, was sold in 1826 by ¢ Indiana to the whites for twenty-four dollars! Let us notice more particularly the history of this cele- brated place. The most extended history of Commani- w ix in Knickerbocker’ History of NewYork,” written Pp Washington Irving. Of course, this history is half trath and half romance. We can hold on to the truth, while get rid of the fiction. We can retain the wheat, while get rid of thechaff. He says :—About oa Hendrik Hudson visited this bay, the ship Goede Vrouw, or good woman, arrived from Holland. They anchored at the mouth of the Hudson, a littie eas’ Gibbet Island. They beheld on what is now called Jersey shore, a small Indian village, pleasantly exnbow- ered in a grove of a elms—and the natives all collected on the beach, gazing in stupid admiratian at the veasel. A boat was lnmettately dempatched to enter into treaty with them, and hailed them through a spent ing trumpet, on the most friendly terms, Bat #0 horri- bly confounded were the poor savages, that they took to their heels, and seampered over Bergen Hills.
