WHE KANSAS BILL—~ POPULARITY OF THE PROPOSED BANKRUPT LAW—ARRIVAL OF A NEW MINISTER ¥ROM MEXICO, ETC., ETC. ‘Wasninetox, April 1, 1858, 3 ascertained from the Clerk of the House to-day that ‘epwards of three hundred thousand names, attached to petitions, had been received in favor of a general Bank- vupt law. Senator Toombs is expected here to-morrow, when the bill will be immediately taken up. Gov. Chase, of Ohio, has been very active with the re- pablicans of tne House to induce them to vote against the amendments to the Senate Kansas bil], a3 well as to the Dill, seeing how they would stultify themselves. The @hio delegation wereon the eve of taking that course. ‘They have now in fact voted for slavery, should the peo- pie of Kansas say they will have slavery. Had the Ohio @elegation voted as they were at one time disposed, some few democrats, knowing their disposition, were prepared te change their votes and kill the Dill, thus leaving it open for a new bill. The administration party are rejoiced at the stultified position the republicans bave placed them- selves in. Juarez, who is contending with Zuloago for the govern- ment of Mexico, has sent a Minister to the United States. He arrived in the Tennessee, and it is understood is on the way toWashington. The Zuloago government has been recognized by our Minister t Mexico, and therefore the ambassador of Juarez cannot be recognized here under the present condition of aflairs. A mistake occurred in my despatch last night asto Vi- @aurri and a joan in the United States. The word ‘not’ should have been erased. Vidaurri does seek a loan, but mot on the customs revenue, as he has no control over that.

Notwithatanding the result in the House to-day on the Kansas bill, the friends of Lecompton are still sanguine of ultimate success. They point to the fax of forty two ma- jority against ite rejection as evidence of the disposition of the majority to admit Kansas in some shape under the ‘Lecompton constitution. ‘The Senate will to morrow non-coneur in the House ‘amendment to the Kansas bill, and the democratic calcu. Jation is that the vote will be very close in the Mouse on the question to recede from it, aad a strong effort will be made with that view. Should this fail, the disagreement must go to a joint committee of conference, and on their report the question will be presented on the finality of the measure. Amongst other distinguished personages at the House today were the British, Russian, Mexican and Datch Minwtors. ‘The only member's seat vacant to-day was that of Mr, Carathers, who was absent on account of sicknors, Over fifty set speeches have been delivered in the House in favor of the Lecompton constitution, of which five were by South Americans, and at least seventy against ‘t, embracing those of three South Americans and fourteen democrats. An error of the press represents Mr. Ward, of New ‘York, last night, as opposing Instead of advocating the ‘Lecompton constitution, while, in fact, he haa been one of ite earliest and most zealous supporters. THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Benate. ‘Wasincror, April 1, 1858, ‘The morning business was unimportant. Variow in. efiestua) attempts were made to vote down Mr. Iverson's motion to take ap the Army bill, and to consider instead the Minnesota bill. PASRAGE OF THR VOUCNTRER ARMY RIL—THRER RRGICKITY AUTHORIEED, ‘The Army bill was considered, and various verbal amendments made, without altering ite principle. ‘Mr. Hoste, (adm.) of Va., was aware that the Prosi- dent would not expend a dollar, or raise a man more than ‘was required, He moved tostrike out the words ‘four Fegiments,"’ and substitute ‘two regiments, exclusive of the Texas regiment.” Mr. Invreow, .)

Mr. Wusom, (opp.) of Mass., was in favor of granting to the Executive means required for the public service. ‘This dill comes in the best possible shape that such a kind of bill can come, for its action is confined to Utah or the frontier.

He (Wilson) could not see how his friend from New Hampehire (Hale) could construe thie as hostile to the Uberties of the country. Mr. Hau said that he equally was in favor of the laws, but did not wantto increase the brute force of a government in which he bad no confidence. Mr, Camexon did not see bow the bill could be tnter- preted into a permanent increase of the army. fle (Ca- meron) was opposed to'large standing armies as at va- riance with the spirit of our institutions. He belioved that it was a mistake to have brought about this war, but would vote for the bill. Here the Kansas bill was brought from the House. Mr. Brown, ee Monsieur Tenson has come back upon us—; is here in—and we can 10 nothing until we get him out. He (Brown) never be- ved there was any danger to the liberties of the country in the Iimcreaso of the army. Baie, he said that he and his pul say, ‘Let Kansas bleed—let Utah bleed.” What mat- ters it to them that the torch be lighted up along the frontier line? For bimself he wanted to see justice done. When women and children are butchered by sava- ges he would have them punished, and he would see it dene by the regular army. What danger is there to us from our whole army’ Why, Virginia, old and decrepit as she is, could, with the aid of Maryland, take them up one by one and drown them in the Potomac. It was nonsense to talk of danger to liberty from fifteen or sixteen thou- rand soldiers, when there were twenty five millions of freemen to fight for it The army is a peace institution, Dut, as it seems, the will not vote for an increase of the regulars, he would retract his vote and support ia Dill.

After the report closed last night, Mr. Lercimr, (adm.) of Va., defended the majority of the Kansas Select, Com. mittee from the charge that they were determined to abirk the investigation. Mr. Watrox, (opp.) ot Vt., opposed the extension of slavery and the Lecompton constitation. ‘The House adjourned earlier than was anticipated. ‘The galleries of the House are densely crowded to day apd great is evinced Jegislative move- mopta on the Kansas bill. ‘The members assembied earlier than usual, and before the House was called to order, were e1 im conversa- tion in groups in various parts of the hall, relative to the great question soon to be acted upon.

He saw one who was a scribbler for the New York Heratp, who had said that he (Has. kin) had over to the black republicans and was act ing with jeson and the lobby.
