It seemed to be con- « cod all hands that this House has tho Tight, as @ matter of expediency, to withheld the appropriation.

He was not sn enemy of the administration in its just purposes. He a:ked whether it was not due to those at the other end of the avenue, that the cnanges to which he had al- luced should be put to rest, or this treaty for ever retro- bated. . He had conficence, however, that the correspon- dence. if preduced, would put these rumors to rest. Mr. Puturs, (dem.) of Ala., denied that this House as any privileges to be invaded. This House possesses certain constitutional rights, but we have no privileges, as the word is used, relative to the legislation of this country.

If the treaty has been approved by the Mexi- can authorities, and by the Presi¢ent and the Senate, it is a law, in the language of the constitution, a part of the supreme law of the land.

Sho commenced with a series of concerts at the Metropolitan Hall, which proved most successful, and «tamped her once with popularity. From New York she went to Bos ton and Philadelphia, where she continnod to giv con- certs, and firmly establiched her reputation with tho American publis. She then returned to thi« city, and ay) ared at Niblo’s ina succession of the lighter oporas, in which she had won her European fame, and so great uscess which attended this experiment, that resdly induced to enter into an arrangement with Mex Maretzeck, to appear in another series of C4 ratic performances, given at Castle Garden in July, 1853. This engagemert proved to be one of the most profitable operatic speculations that bad ever been uniertaken in New York, and, in fact, according to tho ovidence of Maretzek on the Fry trial, the only one that hid over vert satisfactory to all concerned. The Tooult jastided ladame Sontag in ferming a travelling operatic company of her own, with which «he successively visited Boston mond, Albany, Buffalo, Cin- cipnati, Louisville, St. Louis, and New Orleans, and in every ty that she went to, the high reputation that preceded her evsured her the most satisfactory pecuniary results, In New Orleans, sho enteret nto an engagement with MM.
