In addition ‘to the crew, numbering thirty, there wore twenty-five sepond cabin passengers on board. Allof them were saved, together ‘with their luggage. The veasel was scuttled, but the moceding tide left her well out of water, and in spite of every exertion, the flames raged for many hours, and the ‘venne) was almost totally destroyed. She had a large and ‘valuable cargo, consisting of machinery, silks, satins, erate goods, apd general merchandise, some portions of ‘which it was supposed would be saved in a damaged state. ‘The loss ts entimated at £30,000.

The Monifeur, in pub- Babing the decree of suppression, says:—‘ Among the rea- fens for the measure is the irritating controversy of the journal, by which religious opinion was disouncerted, the country agitated, and the fandamental basis on whieh the relations between the church and civil society are estab- Mahod, undermined.” It fe stated that the immediate offence which led to the suppression of the Univers was its publication on the ‘Shh of an Sncyelical lotter of the Pope to the Archbishops ‘and Bishops, in which he states the motives for bis re- fuaa) to accept the advice of the Emperor to give up the ‘Rowegva.

The bill introduced into former Congresses by Mr. Grow in- cluded only the land subject to private entry. The new Dill covers all land subject to pre-omption, and extends the right to all who are now settled as wef! as those who may hereafter settle. TUR PORT OFFICE FRINTING. ‘The action of the House to-day, in concurring by 80 large a majority to the Senate amenament giving out the printing of the Post Office blanks to the lowest bidder is considered by the republicans & s0- vere blow at Mr. Bowman, of the Oonstitution ‘Those who know agsert that it will deprive Bowman of at least thirty thousand dollars of plunder per annum.

Advices had been recetved there that Mira. mon would leave on the 29th, with a largo force, for the purpose of attacking Vera Cruz. It was reported that ho had raised the necessary fonds to carry out the expedi tion, but it was thought that reverses which his party ha encountered with the liberals in their recent engagements would postpone his movements, The liberals, however ‘were fully prepared to repel his advances, Ocampo’s mission to this government is officially con- firmed. No mention is made of the reportthat the Eug- Kah Minister bad demanded full payment of the English claims, and i is not credited. OUR TREATY WITH MEXIOO. ‘The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs met this morn- ing, and bed under consideration the Mexican treaty. After ® long conference, in which the whole subject of our Mexican affairs was fully discussed, it Was postponed until the next meeting, when definitive action will be had ‘upon it. It will undoubtedly be reported, as a majority of the committee are in favor of it; but unleas there ig a reagonable hope of its ratification it will not be reported from the Committee. The administration does not be- Neve it to be good policy to have our Mexican aifairs dragged before the Benate, and the black republican Sepators made aware of all the secrets connected with uhis matter, and then reject the treaty. But the prospect now is tbat the treaty will receive some republican strength. The republican Senators intend having & conference this week on the subject of the Mexican treaty. At least five of their number will be necessary to its ratification, im addition to the democratic vote, Apart from the ef- fects or propriety of the treaty, the question as tothe legal power of the constitutional party to enter into the arrangement is ocnsidered of primary importance to determine. The treaty will not be reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations until the result of the conference is known. There does not seem any disposi- tion to make the treaty a strict party question. ‘UME NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. ‘The Executive Committee of the United States Agricul- tural Society are undecided whether to hold their next national fair at Cincinnati or in this city.

Mr. Szwarp asked for the yeas and nays. ‘Mr. Fuan, (dem.) of Ohio, said he would vote against all instructions. He wanted it to go to the committee in an untrammelled torm. Mr. Smwanp said it was too early to bring up this quea- tion. The Senator from Missiesippi could obtain the infor- mation he desires by making a separate motion. He would always vote for resolutions asking information, but he wanted this presented separately. ‘Mr. Misox, (dem.) of Va., said a statute existed that ‘Kaveas ehould notbe admitted as a State until a certain population has been ascertained bya census.

Mr. Brown said the constitution of Kansas was framed in criminal violation of the laws of . Now was the proper time to make the inquiry. He wanted information, and if it should prove that the act of Congress has been fet wt naught, he would feel constrained to vote against the admitsion of Kaneas. Mr. PucH was entirely opposed to the system of in- structing commuttees, and taking from them all discre- tion. If the act of Congrees had been violated, he would vote egainst the admiesion of Kanzas; but if it wore cor- rectly ascertained that she bad the requisite population, be would not etickle about forms. It was not necessary thatthe fact should be ascertained by the federal census. Congress had voted no means to take the census, and the State bad to take the census herself. Mr. Bayarp, (dem.) of Del , said the resolution waa not in the form of an {ustruction, but merely looked to the making of a certain inquiry. Mr. LITTLE, (rep) of Wis , moved to amend the reso lution, by instructing the committee to report a bill for the immediate admission of Kansas under the Wyaadot con- stitution. Mr. Puan still said he would vote against ali instruc- tions; but he could yote for Mr. Brown’s resolution merely of inquiry. ‘The Curr said he must, under the rule, call up as the special order the bill prebibiting the issne of bank notes under twenty dollars in the strict of Columbia.

Thirdly, I charge that the large numbers of persons belonging to this organization are daily commit- ‘ting offences against the le and property of these con- federated States, which, by the laws of nations, are and sufficient causes of war even among independent Btates, and Governors and Legislatures of States elected by them have Lc ag committed similar acta.’’ This lant charge was rather indefinite, and was probably in- tended to be so. Before the tribunal to which the Sena- tor from bas appealed, and the jurisiiction of which I acknowledge, 1 contend that a full, and sufficient answer to every charge ho lead us into civil war, in the speech of the Sevator himeeif. Mr. Hale then read the parsage from Mr. Toombs’ speech, in which tbat Senator re’ 3 tothe power, resources, wealth and population cf the Southern States, their services in the war of the Revolution, and the spirit which animates them at the present time in regard to their constitutional Hg Mr. Hale, continuing, said—Ho says it is the who bad been'tried. Inthe course of his argument raid the Pape Court, in ite decision in the Dred Scott care, had affirmod that the negro bas no rights which the white man is bound to ceren, Mr. Bexsamin, (dem.) of Ia. , said that the Chief Justice had oply referred to the condition of the negro prior to the war of the Revolution. Mr. Haux eaid the statement of that condition was the basis upon which the Dred Scott decision was made. But, sir, I will proceed—1 am willing to leave that to any tribunal, and I leave that part ot the speech of the Sena- tor from Georgia which relates to the action of my State where I put it I now proceed to auother objection, found not only in the speech of the Senator from Georgia, but in most every other speech, and that is, the rolemn appeal to us to reverence and abide by and obey ‘tbe construction of the constitution which they give, be. cause it was solemnly decided to be law by the Supreme Court of the United States, and the State of Wisconsin was denounced for having decided to send Senators here after the Supreme Court of that State had decided the Fugitive Slave Jaw to be unconstiiutional, Now, sir, I desire to meet that question right here. distinctly, un- equivocally and plainly, sir. 1 nave heard this appeal made over and over again, i think by nearly every gen- tleman who addresred the Senate from that side of the chamber, and by nobody with more emphasis than the Senator from ; and if the State of Wisconsin is guilty in sending Senators bere, after deciding tbat statute to be unconstitutional, I Appeal to the honorable Senator himself, waiving the enlightened sentiment of mankind, and taking his opinion upon what he thinks of the Stay of Georgia after reading the record I propose to read in reference to that State and the Supreme Court of the United States—when I read that history 1 will only bow ber while I will listen with all patience to any one who lectures me in reference to the Sapreme Court, I will ask the man who undertakes it if he has read the solemn judicial decision of his own State, in which, as late as 1854, the Supreme Court of Georgia boasted they had the Supreme Court of the United States with profound contempt. Sir, this doctrine about the ne ad of the Supreme Court is a new tune from that side the Houre. It is a very good doctrine. What is the history of the democratic party with refe- rence to the Supreme Court of the United States? I will state it briefly, and then give the proof. From the time that Mr. Jeflerson came into power, down to the time that the Supreme Court struck their flag, there was an open, undieguised hostility on the part of the democratic par against the Supreme Court of the United States, gated by most writen and over again by of ‘action by Jackson, and the Senate by Buchanan. . sir, the Supreme Court de- cided that the Bank of United States was constitu. tional, and I believe that the very mext time that that party beld a national convention their reverence for the me Court was 80 great that they incorporated into or that Congress had not | Stepedneer bad a bank, notwithstanding the Supreme fo decided; gress about all the democracy did Down East for a Jong time. PB re gg to them, they could not listen until they bad goue ana fired a voile over the dead carcass of the United States Bank. Mr. Hale then read from tbe recoras of Jeffersop, Jackson and Buchanan, substantiating his position. He knew something of the history of and continued by Jackeon, was carried on until the democratic party beat the Court, and then, when they got such de as party policy demanded, this ty, fighting this life-long batile, became great sticklers for the binding effect of the decisions of the Supreme Court. 1 know how the court bas been filled up,and I only ap to the candid judgment of my country when I eay the men appointed for the last thirty years bave been ited more on account of their politics than judicial learning and legal reputation. As @ general Tule it is politiciane of the trade of lawyersfwho fill up that bench. I know thoee are appointed who possess some sort of legal reputation, but not enough to keep the wholo country from crying out the absurd of the appointment. And now, sir, having carricd out this war, and the Supreme Court having come down from the high position which the constitut assigned it, to work your party harness, side by side with your cavcuecs, you bave great reverence for it. I chooee to stand with the fathers of the States, to take my position with the fathers of the States, with Jefferson and Jack- son; and, sir, I. don’t think that it would be any harmto put Mr. Bucbansn in, (laughter in the galleries.) and say with him, too, vpon the views which they malntamned upon Court...

And go it ia Lere, said Mr. Hale. I have no threats to utter—I have no denunciations to make. I stand here as the rey tive of a State that claims to be observant of the constita- tion.

Any fratricidal hand raised againat this government and this Union is acrime notonly against the constitution and the country, but against ha- manity; a sacrilege against God, whose great experiment for the education of mankind is being here illustrated, de- monstrated, in the light of our example. Mr. Toomss, (dem.) of Ga , said the efforts of the Sena- tor trom New iro showed that the way of trans- gretsors is hard. He quoted the law of New to ehow that a man who came to reclaim a fugitive slave was aa five years. He asked if the Senator from New Hampshire was willing to carry out the Fugitive Slave law? Mr. Hae rose to reply, when uct: Toowns said he did not want to bear an explana- ion. toes Hure—If you don’t hear I don’t want you to n. ae he would yield for the Senator to proceed, Mr. Hats eaid he believed the provision of the consti- tution relating to the rendition of a fugitive slave should ‘be carried out in a fair and constitutional manner. Mr. Ab, you want trial by jury, or some mode by which the law cannot be carried out. He answered the argument of Mr. Hale in regard to the action of deciaton of the Georgia in referencs to the Court, and, further, contended that it was no precedent for the of the Court of Wisconsin in nullifying the of the United Khe raster By “him to answer or apologize for the action of Blate. wurrossece of Mr. Doourris the subject was postponed ‘The Senate went into executive seasion.
