It is reported that the Costa Rican invaders of Nicaragua had evacu” ated the country. They bitterly Complain of having been deceived. Where they expected to finda popu- lation ready to receive them with open arms, they met with an unyielding foe. The loss of the Costa Ricans at the battle of Rivas amounted to six hun- red and fifty in killed and wounded. Walker lost about one hundred men. In California the markets were without change. The Illinois, on her way to this port, has nearly two millions of treasure on freight. In Mariposa county the Americans had killed twenty Mexicans and Chilians, and ordered all the Chinese, Mexicans, Peruvians and Chilians to leave. The pretext for this atrocious conduct was that several Americans had been murdered by the foreigners. The Indian war in Oregon and Wash- ington continued, and the savages had been defeated in eeveral battles. There is great complaint among the troops of the neglect of the Commissariat de- partment. By the arrival of the Baltic we have four days later intelligence from Europe. Her news is inte- resting. From Constantinople we have the report ofatreaty having be2n concluded between Persia and the United States, which the European papers have bunglingly construed into a treaty of defensive alliance. A treaty of amity and commerce is the only compact which we shall have occasion now or at apy time to contract with that distant Power. The Italian question continues to excite a good deal of attention in Europe. There are evidently troubies brewing in Italy, of which Sardinia is pre paring to take advantage. The relations of that country and Austria are about as bad as they can be short of actual rupture. The nomination of Count de Cavour to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is regarded as an indication that Sardinia is about to place herself at the head of the Italian liberals. The Austrian troops have begun t evacuate the Principalities. A portion of them will, however, remain for some time to come. It is said that the Russians will shortly commence another campaign against the Circassians. The affair of the Belgian press will be amicably set- tled between the French and Belgian governments, Measures will, however, be taken to repress the publication of appeals to assassination and all inde- fensible abuses of the same kind. In a protocol signed at Copenhagen on the Sth inst., Rassia and Sweden formally adhered to the mode of capitalizing the Sound dues proposed by the Danish government. Our Paris correspondence will be found to contain some interesting news in regard to the affairs of Spain. The London Times has an article on the forbearance displayed by the English government on the enlistment dispute, and the unreasonable ness of Mr. Marcy in demanding the recall of Mr. Crampton. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 2,700 bales, part in transitu. The market closed without quotable change in prices. Flour was some Jess active, although fair sales were made at the previous day's prices. Wheat—For prime, rates were firmer, while inferior grades were neglected. Prime Canada white sold at $1 86; common to fair do., at $1 65; prime Southern red, at $1 73; and Upper Lake, at $1 50. Corn was in fair request, with sales of good and sound old mixed yellow and white, at59c.a éle. Rye was firm, at 85c. a 86c. Pork was easier, and meas closed at $18 75. Lard was firmer, with sales at 10jc.a 10jc. Sugars were firm, with sales of about 1,1 1,200 hhds., mostly at 7c. a 8c. Coffee was quiet, and prices unchanged. Freights were steady, To Liverpool grain was taken at 5d. a 54d. in bags and bulk, and flour at 2s.; while compressed cotton was ergaged at }. Our advices from Australia, by way of England, are dated Adelaide 19th, Sydney 20th, and Mel beurne 25th of Pebruary. Some fresh discoveries had been made at Ophir Creek, and the opinion prevailed that Ophir was one large and rich gold field. Gold had advanced in price. It stood at 43 168. 6d. per ounce. This had caused a large quantity to be released from deposit in the camps at the fields: The quantity of gold exported from Melbourne during the week ending February 23 was £1,756 2s. and the entries for shipment at the Custom House on the same day were 4,111 ounces, of which 3,462 ounce were for Liverpool, 615 ounces for Hong Kong, 117 ounces for London, and 16 ounces for Sydney. The amount of gold received at the Gold Officeon the morning of the 22d was 51,154 ounces, and ex- port duty was paid on 16,514 ounces during the day. The imports for the week ended the 16th of Febru- ary were of the value of £293,552, and the exports of £340,834. Of the latter, gold amounted to £2 The labor market was well supplied with bow) skilled and unskilled labor. The gold statistics for the year 1855, which have recently been publish- ed, show an increase of thirty-five per cent on the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1856. place betwea her and Mr H.Secksmp, Cathe Baiia- | Gur Relations with England—Critical State ret Times. It appears that a writer in che Times had made some remarks reflecting on che character of Lola, aud a few evenings afte, wards Mr. Seekamp called at the United States Fiotel, where she was re- siding. Lota rnsbed on him with a riding whip, and he retaliated witha cane. A general row ensued, in which life preservers and revolvers were drawn. | When separated it was found that the belligerents had fast hold of each other by the hair. Flour had fallen in price. The Sydney banks had adopted a uniform rate of exchange, being 2 per cent premium for selling, and par for purchasing. Our Washington despatch statea that Secretary Marcy’s reply to Lord Clarendon will go out by the Asia today, and that Mr. Crampton, the Bfitish Minister, received his passports last evening. Con- tempcraneons with this announcement we have re- ceived the protest of Senor Marcoleta, late Nicara- guan Minister to our government, on the recognition | of Padre Viji!, Itis given elsewhere. Both these evens are imporiant—especially to the politicians about to asse ubie at Cincinnati. There was an exciting discussion in the United States Senate yesterday on the Sumner affair, of which we give a report under the appropriate head. The nigger worshippers declaimed loudly. Senator Wilson pronounced the act of Mr. Brooks as caward- ly, and Mr. Butler retorted by calling Mr. Wilson a liar. It is said that Mr. Brooks sent a challenge to Wilson last evening, by General Lane, of Oregon. In the House a bill granting 1,300,000 acres of land to Michigan, in aid of the construction of railroads, was reported and passed. ThgJatest accounts from Kansas state that the Free State Hotel, two printing oftices, and Governor Robinson's house, in Lawrence, were destroyed, and two free State men shot, during the demonstration upon the town by the Sheriff’s posse. Gen. Pome- roy, agent of the Emigrant Aid Society, delivered up all the arms without resistance, and took a re- ceipt therefor. Robinson’s in prison at Lecomp ton, but Reeder bas not yet emerged from his hiding place. Under the telegraphic head we give a report of the proceedings of the annual meeting of the New England Emignant Aid Society, held at Boston yes- terday. The aim of this body, as is well known, is to promote the anti-slavery cause in Kansas, and for this object it has, during the past year, collected the sum of $67,184. A number of new names were added to the list of board of directors, and among them will be found those of several of our promi- nent citizens. The extreme abolitionists and the black republi- cans hold their conventions at Syracuse to-day. There was a desperate and bloody fight in the First ward last night, between a party of emigrant runners and a couple of policemen, named Hogan and Dwyer, in which the latter were severely beat- en. As usual, in such cases, the ruffians escaped. The motion for an injunction as to the conveyance of the Brick church property will be brought on to. day in the Supreme Court, special term. It is con. tended that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund acted without authority from the Common Council, and that the Trustees sold their interest to “private individuals,” in opposition to the proposal to unite in the sale with the Corporation, and that they thereby prevented competition. William Lyster and Charles Walters were to have been sentenced yesterday on their plea of guilty to an attack, three weeks since, upon one of the edi- tors of the Sunday Courier. They did not appear, and their recognizances—five hundred dollars each —were declared forfeited. In another column will be found some interesting letters from Bogota. The industrial and mineral resources of New Granada, its political condition, and the prospects which are opening to it, froma more liberal system of government and the encour- agement held out to foreign enterprise, are fully dis- cussed by our correspondent. From the facts stated by him, it would seem that no country in the South- ern portion of this continent offers greater induce- ments to the emigrant. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to April 3d have come to hand. Sir George Grey opened Parliament at the Cape on the 13th of that month. He recommended an extensive scheme of immigra- tion, and spoke highly of the fertility, resources and climate of the colony. My. Huckins, acting United States Consul, has addressed a letter to shipmasters and owners here, stating that foreign vessels will be atlowed to pursue the coasting trade there on the same footing as British ships. Ovr Reations wirh France--A cloud yet hangs over the story of the three military offi- cers who are said to have been insulted by the French Minieter of War; but the prevailing impression is that there is mach trathia it. It is believed generally that the feelings of the French government and the French Emperor are by no means over friendly to this couairy, and that the remark of Marshal Veillant very correctly tranelated the sentiments of his em- Ployers. It will no doubt afford Mr. Marsy an opportunity of writing more long letters on the subject of Puffendorf and Grotius, and covering up the point in dispute in a maze of words, In the meanwhile it may be well to remem- ber that our commercial relations with France are most unequal and unfair. It has already been explained more than once that American ships are placed at a great disadvantage in competing with French vessels in French Ports ; and that quite recently a new duty has been laid on our vessels, increasing eighteen hundred per cent their hospital dues. Our trade-with France is to the full as useful to her as to us. We are anxious to do all we can to extend and improve it. But how can it be extended if our efforts are met not by corres- ponding efforte on the other side, but by crash ing police regulations and taxes? It is killing the golden egg, the Emperor should know, to supply the deficit in his treasury from reatrio- tive imposte on trade. If our administration and our Minister to Paris had any zeal or consciousness of their duties, they would remonstrate warmly on the matter; and it might be set right, for the aggregate product of the impos: is not very large. But they have had other concerns in mind. Tur Cuzvatien Wess has given to the world his views on the Brooks affray in a couple of ponderous columns or ¢0, From the tone and telegraphic fire crackers which preceded it, it is evident that the writer was under the im- pression that the community at large and the aristocracy of Europe were dying to know what he thought on the subject. So far as the former are concerned, we regret to say that the mani- festo has not settled them into any particular way of thinking; firet, because they could not find out what the writer really meant, and se- condly because they found that whenever he made an assertion he invariably refuted it in the next paragraph. They therefore find that each statement being nullified as it appoared the net result of the manifesto is—nothing. Poor Mr. Webb! He is not suited for a fana- tic. He is like a large fat oily tallow candle, which somebody coming along and seeing use- lese, charitably lights; it blazes and smoker and fumes, and sheds a vast deal of uncertain light around, til] a puff of wind blows it out— previous year. The intelligence that England was likely to be embroiled with the United States had | ‘© remain in silence and ohsgurity till it ie re- de gret throughout the Austra- | lit. Lord Clarendon lit the cendle some tine ing at the Vis | Fince ; now thas duty devolve: upoa dls, So bad takeg | ward, of Affairs, The diemiseal of Mr. Crampton and the Bri- tieh Conenis, in deflance of the elaborate and ingenicue detence of Lord Clarendon, and in wiew of the unsettled questions pending upon the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and in connection with the recognition of the Walker-Rivas gov- ernment of Nicaragua, certaialy complicates and embarrasses our disputes with the London Cabinet. It will be remembered that this off-usive proceeding is to be addressed to Lord Palmer- ston, the most punctillious aristocrat in Eng- land, and it is warranted in the fact-that Mr. Crompton has violated the neutrality laws of the United States. The inference from the act of diemiesal is that the American gevernment and people are sensitively alive to the neces- sity of executing the neutrality laws of the country. The recognition of the Walker gov erpment may not indicate a different state of the case; but there wil!, doubtless, go out to England with the dismissal anthentic reporta from British agente in the United States that the nextrality lawa are being habitually vio- lated in permitting troops to be enlisted and sent forward to aid Gen. Walker against a government with which we are at peace, and that government one of the States of Central America. It is impossible, in this condition of affatrs on this cide of the water, that the proceeding of our Cabinet towards Mr. Crampton and his aseociates, who are sent home as criminals in violating laws to execute which towards other parties no effort is made by the federal au- thorities, will be regarded otherwise than most offensive by her Majesty’s government. It will be looked upon as the settled purpose of the United States to rigidly enforce our sta- tutes towards England and other European Stater, and at the same time to open the flood- gates of population towards Central America. It will be regarded as a defiance of England in every matter of dispute between the two gov- erpmente, A disavowal of all unfriendly de- signs and of all intention to disturb the peace- ful relations subsisting between the two Cabi- nets will be received as an aggravation of the offence; and the prompt dismiseal of Mr. Dal- las and the suspension of diplomatic relations are likely to follow. "% The Pierce-Marcy Cabinet in this whole affair has been signally outwitted. When Mr. Cramp- ton was actually convicted of violation of our laws, his dismiesal would have been received by the London Cabinet as an aszurance of a rigid purpoee only to enforce our laws; a purpose that would have been hailed with satisfaction by all the Statesof Europe. But Mr. Marcy preferred firet to obtain testimony eufficient to convict the Minister, and then to demand his recall on the basis of the exhibits he was able to lay be- fore her Mejesty’s government, Lord Ciaren- don received Mr. Marcy’s despatch and testi mony; and adroitly disavowing any intention to violate the laws, or infringe the sove- reignty, or to interfere with the policy of the United States in reference to the enforcement of their neutral statutes and obligations, pro- ceeded to discredit Mr. Mercy’s evidence up- on which the recall was demanded. It is evi- dent that by this couree Lord Clarendon in- tended, in the event of a dismissal of his sgente, to place himself rectus in curia before the States of Europe; to prepare himself, in that contingency, to demand the support of the British people in any contest that might arise in Parliament touching the propriety of the proceedings on his part. He will be able thus to submit to the House of Commons a frank and manly apology to the Pierce Marcy Cabinet, and a dieavowal of any intention to violate our laws. The effect of euch proceedings will be found in strengthening the Palmerston adminis‘ra- tion. We have given them the advantage; we have conferred upon them the choice of posi- tion and weapons. We have enabled them to fortify their position by friendly disavowale and frank professions of friendship. These were gratuities—what we gave them. We oc cupied the vantage ground; we had the posi- tion of right, and might have claimed an over- whelming support in Parliament. But these advantages have been bunglingly surrendered. We have thus permitted Lord Clarendon to ar- tay against us his earnest appeals for peace and international harmony; and they will have their weight with members of the British Le gislature. And what is to be the end of these fearful blunders? Do they betoken forbearance in Central America? Will they not be followed by menace in that direction on the part of th- British navy—by little border feuds, which be- token indifference to the peace of the two Countries-—by retaliation on our part, and per- haps by an open rupture ? Are these impossible or improbable events of the future? And why are we thus driven to the verge of war with the most powerful State in Europe? If the diemissal of Mr. Crampton and his aseociates, under the circumstances, is not fol- lowed by the dismiscal of Mr. Dallas, and by the hostile movement of the British West India and Central American squadron, it will be the first time that her Mejesty’s government has thus exhibited signs of forbearance. In deed, the letter of Lord Clarendon to Mr. Mar- cy was intended to cover and justify such pro- ceedings. The Palmerston Cabinet has outwit- ted usin fixing the iesue. The facts are with us; but these are actually made unavailable by the manner in which the issue has been pre- cipitated upon us. We have thus civil war in our own Territo- ties, and a foreign war close upon us, through the vinnders of s blundering government. Four weeks more and our commerce will be thrown into disrepute; a pervading suspicion of the near approach of war will have seized the public mind, and sacrifice and disaster will follow in all the relations of business. Now let us contrast this almost inextricable | imbroglio with the great fact which stares us oll in the face, that the people of England nd the United States are not only at peace, but they are friends, socially, politically, and by their highest interests. They have always been united in promoting their mutual adyan- tagea. They are bound together by indastrial ties, to sever which would plunge both nationg into ruin and death, But whet are these facta in the view of such political traders and adventurers as Lord Pal- merston, and Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Marcy? The furmer is the veriest trader inall Europe. His whole effort is to build up Louis Napoleon in France; to gain by combination the control of if cur offlsere have boeu iusulied he world. wt the war office of Napoleon, let us look to | | the chief of the London Cabinet as the insti- gator. The enlistment affair was originated toembroil us with England. It is the policy of the two Cabinete—London ond Washington— to drive usinto collision. England, united with France, our seaboard could be and would be in- closed, and our trade utterly ruined for the time being. And are these such trifling matters that the people here and in England—friends, brothers, united by a common origin, interest snd sympathies—are willing to be driven to war with each other? The curse of the two countries is to be found in their politicians. The Italian Question. We publish elsewhere several documents bearing on the state of Italy and the reforms projected by the adminietration of Sardinia. ‘The “ notes” signed by the plenipotentiaries of Sardinia will be found worth perusal. Very few persons are aware that Italy, which ten years ago was as quiet and orderly as any country in Europe, is now in such disorder that one-half is under martial law and the other would be the better for being in the same con- dition. Sardinia—that is to say Piedmont— must be excepted from this statement : the rest of Italy, when compared with it, looks like another sphere. It is unsafe to travel from Flo- tence to Rome, or from Rome to Naples. Rob- bers have set the governments at defiance, and we may doubtless expect to hear before long that the Pope or the King of Naples or the Tuscan Grand Duke has advertised a reward for any valorous men who will club together and capture or kill this or that murderous ban- dit. As tothe laws, they long since fell be- neath contempt. Even in the time of Gregory XVI, the Papal lawa were a joke: a Neapoli tan magistrate has never been capable of in- spiring reepect, since ‘the Bourbons were re- stored, The Sardinian plenipotentiaries, in view of there facte, endeavored vainly to induce the Paris Conference to bestow attention upon Italy. Austria firmly resisted the attempt, and insisted on the restriction of the Confe- rence to the subjects for which it was convoked Hence, the most the Sardinians could gain was a few words of sterile sympathy from the Trepreeentatives of England and France. Havy- ing failed in their design, they have laid before the world the schemes whichthey would have proposed to the Congress; and exhibited the first spectacle, it is believed, of a ministry of a constitutional monarchy, at peace with the world, openly propagating the most revolu- tionary documenta. The aims of the Sardinians are three fold:— Ist. The enfranchizement of Lombardy from Austrian tyranny. 2d. The secularization of the Roman government. 3d. The reform of the government of Naples. The first finds no opponent but the party against whom it is aimed--the Austrians. Count Buol at the Conference did not deem it safe to abandon Lombardy to its people, and considered that so long as France garrisoned Rome, and Sardinia San Marino, the Emperor ‘was justified in retaining military occupation of Lombardy. And though these arguments are obviously flimsy, they are likely to b2 crowned with success, from the simple reason that Sardinia is not strong enough, nor the maritime Powers fond enough of war, to risk a collision with Austria in retuting them. But the case is very different with the others: Nobody upholds the temporal supremacy of the Pope; nobody defends the corruption and imbecility of the Court of Naples France, Spain, Sardinia, part of Austria and other Catholic countries repudiate the Pope’s authority, even in ecclesiasti- cal matters; and the smallest half of Catholi- city will not venture to assert that the Pope’s temporal government has been in any way a credit to the church or a benefit to his country. On the other side, withjregard to Naples, the atrocities committed there, under color of law have not found an apologist even among the most ardent friends of monarchy and absolut- ism. But what indicates most plainly the pro- bable solution of these questions in a sense fa- vorable to the Sardinian views is the position of the Emperor of the French. Louis Napoleon has forgotten none of the schemes of his uncle. The Murat family have never abandoned their claims to the throne of Naples. There is no reason why they should not be restored as well as Louis Napoleon. That is the consummation to which signs now point in Europe; though the realization of this policy might possibly cost Napoleon his threne, it will not probably be viewed in this light; if Rome and Naples are set free, the work will probably be achiev- ed by French aid. One despotism for another seems a poor sort of reform; but a democra- tic derpotiem-—unsatisfactory as it ise—isa step in advance of a divine right despotism; and to the people of Italy a Marat would be a far more acceptable sovereign than a Pope or a Bourbon. French INTERVENTION IN Spain.—A letter from one of our Paris correspondents, and an extract from the London Zimes, which will be found in another part of our paper, strongly tend to confirm the statement recently set forth by one of the Madrid journals, that it was the intention of Louis Napoleon to interfere aa & pacificator in the affairs of Spain. The marked attention paid to that she-wolf Christi- na by the Emperor, the establishment of a French imperial organ at Madrid, which does not hesitate to call loudly for the intervention of France, and the tone of the Paris press ge- nerally, lead to the belief that this step is only @ question oftime. Its object is stated to be to crush the republican spirit, which threatens the repose of Europe. Knowing how little any danger of this sort is to be apprehended from Spain, people are tempted to ask what are the real motives of this project. A prospective ap- panage for an Imperial Prince in the Spanieh throne, and the acquisition to France of the richest colony in our hemisphere, are, in all probability, the prizes aimed at. Look out, therefore, for another coup d’éat in Spain, with the ceseion of Cuba to France as its conse- quence.

From Central America it ia reported that the Costa Ricans Fad ebipped £00 wounded from San Juan del Sar, and that their army had retreated from Nisaragua by land. The Costa Ricans say they were deceived in regard to the feelings of the people of Nicaragua towards Walker, and expected to be received with open arms. Th’ y were very indfgnant at the falee representations which were made to them on the subject. It fs congxmed that the loss of the Costa Ricans at the battle of R@Ms, in killed and wounded, smounted to 650, and that of Walker’s army to about 100. The steamer Illincis had left Aspinwall for New York with nesrly $1,800,000 in treasure on freight. ‘The California news is generally unimportant. ‘The marketa were without any change of moment, The war against the Indians in Oregon and Washington Territories was being prosecuted with vigor, and the In- dians bad met with several defeats.

W.snrxctoy, May 27, 1856, ‘Mr. Crampton was dismissed to-day, as I stated in my Cerpatch last night he wou'd be. The thing was so qui- etly done that but few even believe it now. Mr. Crampton’s despatch carrier left this afternoon with the answer of Mr. Marcy to Lord Clarendon, which will go to Europe by to-morrow’s steamer, Senator Mason, of Virginia, despatched the news thia afternoon to Cincinnati, Action with regard to Cramp- ton was promised before the delegates left here for that city; indeed it was positively demanded by the friends of President Pierce before they would agree to make a move in his behalf. The meseage to Congress is expected to- morrow, and the cfficial announcement will shortly be made public. The crowd of politicians still continues to increase, It is underatood here Ly the delegates to Cincionati that Pleree’s present appointments were from expediency, and that if nominated he will tabe care of his friends.

Colone) Orr is much better today, If able, he wiil Jeave for Cincinnati on Friday, and will be Prosident of the Democratic Convention. President Pierce called on him this evening. ‘There wae quite an exciting scene in the Senate to- ay. It seams that Senator Sumner committed a great error in stating the facts of the assault upon him, al- though under oath, He says, when coming to con- eciousners, he saw Senators Douglas and Toombs, with Colonel Brooks between them, and that Mr. Elideli was also near, Mr. Slidell stated that he was with Judge Douglas, Governor Fitzpatrick and Hon. Glaucey Jones, in the Reception room,{when a page came in, saying Mr. Sumner was badly whipped, thus proving that neither Douglas nor himself was preseat at the fight. Senator Wilson pronounced the assault cow- ardly and outrageous, when Ssnator Butler pronounced him a “Har,” but retracted the expression, in respsct to the place where he was. The whole affair of the assault has been megnified into a matter of too much conse’ quence. The Senate committes will report that “It be- ings personal difficulty between gentlemen, the Senate should not notice it.” The House will aim to make capi- tal outof it. Wilson is courting a difficulty with Doug- Iss, and declares himself always ready for a contest with any pro-slavery Senator. Col. Brooks sent « challenge to Senator Wilson this evening, by General Lane, of Oregon. You can rely upon this. The moment Senator Butler heard of the Brooks and Sumner affair he started for Washing‘on, leaving a sick daughter at home, What occurred in the Senate this mornirg is only an episode. Butler will answer Samner when the Jatter is in his seat, in language severe but courteous to the Senate. All bills granting lands to States for railroad purposes will pass this seasion.

Wasmaron, May 27, 1856. INTERVENTION IN KANSAS AFFAIRS, Mr. Truwpeit, (nigger worshipper) of IL, gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to prevent civil war sand restore peace in Kansas. NATIONAL CODE OF MARINE SIGNALS, The bill providing for the general introduction of a uni- form national code of marine eignals was pasted. THE SUMNER OF AFPAIR, Mr. StmpEtr, (dem.) of La., called the attention of the Senate to the telegraphic despateh giving Mr. Samner’s statement before the Committee of the House, published his morning. Mr. Slidell said the statement declares :— Other persons were about me, offering me aa dgazee tat I did not recognize of spear Be were ata distance, looking on and no assistance, of whom I recogrized only Mr. Dot Iifnois, and, thought, assailant standing them, I was helped from floer, and condusted into the lobby of the Senate, where I was placed upon a sof. Of those who helped me to the place I have no recollection. As entered the lobby I recognized Mr. 8 of Louisiana, who re‘zeated; but I recognized no one else until some time later, as I supposed, when I fett a friendly grasp of a hand, which seemed to come from Mr, Campbell, of 0. ‘Mr. Supwiy said it seemed to him proper to explain: hia own pcsition relative to this matter, as the published statement mght cause a false impression on the public: mind. When the Senate adjourned that day he entered an anie-room, where be remained in conversation with Meesrs. Douglas, Fitzpatrick and J. Glancey Jones, and while there was informed that Mr. Sumner had been badly beaten by Mr. Brooks. He came into the Senate chamber, but there were to many persons crowdei around Mr. Sumner that he did not ree him at all, and he soon returned to the ante-room to finish his conversation: Havirg remained there for some time, he was passing through the reception room to go home when he met Mr. Sumner in the door, leaning on two persons whom he did not know. Hiy face was ocsvered with blood, and as he (Slidell) was not on euch termsas to make it resessary to: express any sympathy—not having spoken to Mr. Sumner for two yearshe turned aside, and went out by another door, He had not the slightest idea before the ecsurrence took place that Mr. Brcoks, or anybody else, had any intea— tion of attackirg Sumner, and was entirely free from any participation or counsel in the matter. Mr. Doveras, (dem.) of Dk., corroborated the state- ment of Mr. Slidell, and said that when he (Douglas), heard that Mr. Sumner had been attacked, his first idea was to come in and endeavor to restore quiet; but, upon reflecting that his motives in interfering might be mis- construed, he did not enter the Senate chamber until the sffray was cver, The crowd around Sumner was then so large that for some time he eould not see him, He saw Messrs. Toombs, Crittenden, Pearce and Evans, all sested in or near their nsuat seats; but he was not near Brooks, as stated in there- port. This was total misapprehension on the part of Mr. Sumner. Mr. Douglas added that he had no know- le¢ge or suspicion that avy assault was contemplated, or would be made, here or elsewhere. He did not ap- proach Mr. Brooks nor epeak to him, and was not within fifty feet of the Yenator from;Georgia (Mr. Toombs). How: such an idea could have got into Mr. Summer’s head it was imporsible for him to conceive, The published state- ment might carry an impression to the country that he was aidirg and abetting, and was, in fact, a participant in the astaul!; but that was an entirely erroneous idea, ashe did not even know that Mr. Sumner was in the Capitol at the time the assault was committed. Mr. Toomss (national), of Ga., remarked that he was: in bis sea) at the time, and how Mr. Sumner could sup- pose he saw him near Mr. Brookehe could not tell. i might be that in the confusion Mr, Sumner mis‘ook General Gorman for him. Mr. Toombs further said that in exprerring opinions about the affair at the time, some gentlemen condemned it, but he (Toombs) told Mr. Brooks that he approved of it. Mr. Buriie (dem.,) of 8. C., said he had just arrived i the city, but had he been in Washington he should have sreumed all the responsibility taken by his gallant rela- live. He denied, in the most emphatic manner, ths state- ment of Mr. dumner, that what he had said in his speech ‘was strictly in response to what Butler bad said on for- mer occaricns, He understood that the Legislature ot Masecchusetts had parsed resolutions in reference to the rflray, acd when these resolutions should bepresented to the Senate ke should speak on the subject as it de- served. Not # tingle one of Mr. Sumner’s remaske ia relation to him was aresponse to anything which he (Butler) bad said upon the Kansas question. His{riends in South Caroliaa and some of his friends here though? he (Butler) had been remarkably moderate in the character of his remarks. He had scrupulously avoided saying anything to violate the courtesies of Senatorial debate, and spoke neither of the Sepator from Massachusetts, to him or about him, Mr. Wane, (nigger worshipper) of Ohio, aaid it was imporsibie for him to sit still and hear such principles ayowed ae be had heard on this occasion. As to the facta in reference to the assault he knew nothicg about them, ard bad nothing to say on that point. He was here in a pretty lean majority, not more than ab2ut one- filth of the Senate entertaining opinions similar to his; but when he heard it stated that on this floor an assas- sin-like, cowardly attack had been made upon » man unarmed, and having no power to defend himeelf, and that he had been stricken down and almost murdered, ond then heard fenator avow that he ap- Proved such ¢onduct, it became a metter of some interest and» importance to all the memberg of this body, and especially to the minority, A brave man cculd not defend himeelf against such an at- tack as this, and might be overpowered by numbers; “but, overpowered or not, live or die,” said he, “I wil} vindicate the rights of liberty of debate and the freedom» of discussion so long as [ live. If the principle au- nounced here is to prevail, let us come armed for the combat. Although you are four to one, I am here to meet you. A man can die in no better cause than in vindication of the rights of debate on this floor. If these are the principles that are to be afproved by = mejority, and become part and pareel of the law of Con- gress, let it be understood.”” Mr. Wnson, (nigger worshipper) of Mass., thought the explanation of Mr. Slidell was not inconsistent with anything stated by his colleague. He had no ides that Mr. Sumner intended to place Mr. Slidell in a false position. The Senator from Illinois has, he said, also made his explanation, and I see nothing in that incom sistent with the statement of Mr. Sumner. He was stricken down upon this floor by » brutal, murdercus and cowardly assault. Mr. Burusr (in bis seat)— You are a liar. Mr, Srvart, (dem.) of Mich., called the Senator ta order, and stated also that there was no question before the Senate, It was evident the debate wes becoming ac- crimoniour, and he hoped it might be postponed until the matter could be considered with more calmness. Mr. BeTier apologised for words which fell from him ih. @ moment of excitement, and said that in discussing the resolutions cf the Massachusetts Legislature, if he should tranagrees the bounds of propriety, it would be because he was provoked to it. He had never been the agzressor, and he calledupon the Senate to bear witness to the fact. Mr. Witson resumed, His collesgue had stated the facta to the best of his recollection, and it was not to be expected that after sueh severe blows, which had ren- dered him unconscious, he could be perfectly acourate in every minute particular. He did not believe he had inf tended to do injustice to anybody, and when he was again able to take bis reat he would be ready to meet the Senator from South Carolina and others in debate; mean- time, avy assumption of superiority by the Senator might pass for what it waa worth. Mr. Foster, (nigger worshipper) of Conn., allned to the avowal of Mr. Toombs that he approved of the con- uct of Mr. Brooks, and thought it was incumbent on him, aa he had not participated in debate to any consi- Cerable extent, to say ® word as to the reasons for his ai- ence, If he remained silent, come might suppore it wae through fear of like consequences tohimself, He wished to dirabuse the minds of Senators, if any such misap- Preh+nsion existed. He had thus far participated but ightly in debate, because, being » new member, he thought it more beeomtug for hin to listen than to speak. Bat when such intimations as the Senator (Mr. Toombs) had mace were given, it might be # posed if Senators did not speak, that 6 pale 80 bare acd unworthy as fear was the reason of their silence, He now wished to assert his entire approva? cf the freedom of speech, here and elsewhere, to ta. tained at whatever cost, and whatever might be the con- requet If @ contrary dootrine shou! ‘his country, there would be an end ie vert for he believed that the liberty of the press, liberiy of speech, and the liberty of the Mr. Tamncit expres about five minutes, but sidering the special order, ix, HAi® (nigger worrhip yer), of N.
