France and Rome. [Ffom the Varis Presse, Fed. 13.) Docrments relative to the affairs of Rome show clearly two thinge—dist, that the French government, in its re- Jations with the Pontifical Court, has gone beyond all the ‘Douncs of patience; secondly, toat the cardiuals, if thay | jhad not considered this patiense to be imexnaustirle, ‘would have shewn themeelves lees iatraciable. Ia speak- ing to them lpudly and irmly, and in coupling arte with | ‘words, they are always fou 1d 40 be made of very plastic | materials. The history of France gives more thaa one | proof of this. We will only instaace one. On the 29th of September, 1797, Ronsparte wrote to his brother Joseph, ambassador at Rome: — “It is quly with the greatest firmocas, with the groat- est ‘expression in your warde, that you will cause yourselves to be respected by those persons. Timid When you show them your teeth, they are haughty when you are too delicate with them.” The ‘event did not fail to show that Bonaparte was right. So Jong aa the French had been at a distance from Rome, the Pontitical Court had insulted and provoked the repuDlic. On learning the approach of the army commande by Berthier, it changed its tone. The Pope issued, on the @th of F’braary, 1798, a proclamation, in which he said “(Full of confidence in the uprightuess ‘and generosity of ‘the French republic.” Berthier envored Rome, the republic was proclaime3, ‘and the Pope etripped of his temporal power. he Sacred ‘Coleg? hent its head, acknowledged the republic, and fourt~en caroinals were preseat wt the Je Deum which was chaated to celebrate its ostabliebment—tha: is to gay, the deposition of the Papal sovereign. Hat the French HMent been inspired with the counsel given by Bonaparte to Joseph in 1797, {t would not now deplore ‘the uselesrnese of the effurte it has been making for ten years to eave the Pontifical Cours. ‘The spiit of vertigo, attested by all the despatches on the aftairs of Rome, surpasees all that experience permit- ved us to expect from the counsellors of the papacy.

Lord Alfred Churchill, who introduced the deputation, said it would hardly be neceesary for him to dweli very strengly “pon the heevesity which existed at present for obtaining hew soarces of suppply Of cction for this coun- try. The society of which he had the honor of being a member. the Africen Aid Society, had directed ite atten- tion to the opening ont of this vast country ut Abbeokata. It cntaixed 1€0,000 inbabitanta, its walle Were 20 miles in circumference, and its kings and chiefs were ready and willirg to recoive ctvilization, and one of thom termed him- self the friend ct eivilzation, There was a newspaper, too, actuaily published ia Abbeokuta, written in the lang: of the country, although it had a supplement in English. The district extende! inlapd for several hundreds of miles, and was the ns‘ural land where cotton grow. They be- heve that by appointing a British Consul in that neigb- Dorhood they would give a great encouragement to legiti- mate commerce, as it would show them that they were under tome kird of protection. This wonld promote the migration of the natives of 1a, which would tend toward the eventual annihilation of the siave trade. As this country could produce so large an amoun! of collom it must materially influence in depreciating the american market, and, ently. the value of slave labor in the United Slates would decrease in proportion, Mr. Glegg said the cotton produced in Africa was the best that could be grown, and could be innded at Liver- pool at a much less price than that of American. He thought, therefore, that every facility an’ ensourage- ment shoul! be given for the developoment of free trade in that country. After remarks from Mr. Banner, Mr. eu. Sir Culling Eardley, Mr. Courad Harrison, and Me. Albright, rord Sobn Tueeall said, in reply, that he need hardly say Soak. be concurred tx’ tonne general observations, and Above all in the general object they had in view: Dut a it bad been obeerved by Sir Culling Eardley, thie matter must at present be considered a8 a germ. Great elf urts had been made by this country, at considerable cost, with a view to the suppression of the slave trade; and they must always recollect that other ciforte had ‘been mage, in various ¢ircetions, under the sanction of the various Powers, to endeavor to keep it up. With regard to the appoiniment of @ consul, the cotton district Abbeokuta was @ yery good province, and it was very gratifying te find that paim oil and various other pro- Suctioos had +0 considerably increased. foF some years past, and if the appointment of a eonsu) could promote the {ntarests of ite commerce, the Foreign Office would inquire into the Peon mene respecting it, They were Obi/ged to look with a view to the public service, and the varios reasons and regulations by which they were gen erally bound ; but supposing there was no ovjection to that coureo, hie should certainly be mont happy to fall in with their views. With regard to the King of Dahomey, he was sorry to say i. was not the single obstacle; Urey found in several parts of Africa efforts were made to’ carry on slavery. But that was only a part“of the question, and with regard (0 the general question he should be most happy to assist them. Perhaps they would believe him when he said, if fn any way he coal! make the smallest advance towards the extinction of the slave trade, he ubould be most happy to do so, | (Cheers. ) ‘The deputation thanked his lordship and wi hdrow. ‘Tum Dasin Fuser —According to the latest documents publiehed, the naval foroes of Denmark are composed of 40 20/0 of the line (20 eatling vesro's and 20 steamers) and 70 smaller vessels, Their strength is as followa:— Salling versele, de>! of theline (2 of $4 guns and 20f 72), 312 pune: 6 frigates (1 of 60 and 5 of 44 20-pound- ers). 260 gene; ¢ corvettes of 28, 20, 14, ant 11 guns, 73 ne; 3 brige Of 16 and 12 guns (18 pounders), 44 guns; schooners of 1 large swivel gua. eac with 6 smuli swivels, ( guns; t 7 guos.

Twiggs and the Seizure of Public Property in Texas, &e., &o., &, THE OUTGOING ADMINISTRATION. THE FATE OF THE PEACE CONGRESS AD- JUSTME Wasmxerox, March 1, 1861. Matters look very gloomy indeed. A careful canvass of the Senate shows that the Peace Oonference propesi tion will not get more than eightecn or twenty votes. ‘The Senators from Virginia, North Carolina, Teas and Arkansas will go against it, Tbe republicans will go ina ody against it. They will go for Mr. Seward’s proposition for a National Cocvention. That is ag far as they will go. They are oppored to Mr. Corwin’s plan. The fact is, they do not intend to go for any measure that will satisfy the border States. All hope, therefore, of an adjustment is passed. Tho only thing left is Mr. Lircoln’s Inaugural. Should that important document lean to thefradical wing, all is lost. The selection of Mr. Chase for the Cabinet has cast a deep gloom over the coneervatives here. The radicalsaro greatly rejoiced, for they think they have been the means of breaking up the Cabinet. CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN CHARLESTON HARBOR. Wasmxeroy, March 1, 1861. ‘The Secretary of War is in daily receipt of despatches from Major Andereon, in which full details are given of affairs in Charleston harbor. He states, in his last let- ters, that the batteries, fortifications, and other means of attack and defence, which have been under construc- tion, are nearly completed. The impressiva is very gene- ral that they intend to make an attack on Fort Sumter, upless prevented by the solemn interposition of the Pro. vieiopal Government at Montgomery, immediately after the 4th of March. It appears that Governor Pickens no- tifled Président Davis to that effect. Major Anderson believes tho attack willbe made at night. The adméimistration are aware of the fact that President Davis has urged the people not to make a move looking to an attack without firet notifying the govera- ment at Montgomery. . It appears that there is a large party in South Carolina who ignore the Southern confederacy, and will not re- cognige their authority Otbers again, who are more conservative, including Governor Pickens, are for actiag with the Confederate States. THE SEIZURE OF PUBLIC "PROPERTY IN TEXAS. ‘Wasnmeorox, March 1, 1361. Tntelligence received bere to-day from San Antonio, with dates to the 18th of February, give full particulars of the Twiggs affair, It appears thgt Col. Ben McCullough, on the right of the 15th, at the head of eight hundred Texas rangers, entered San Antonio, and took posrossion of the United States Arsenal, together with all the stores and supplice. McCullough raade this move by authorivy of the State Convention. After he bad taken poeseasion and while Genera) Twiggs was in negotiation with MoCul- lorgh, Twiggs received orders stating that he bad been superseded, and that Col. Waite would take command. This relieved him of further negotiation, and he immedi- ately deepatched a meveenger notifying Col. Waite of what had occurred, and referring the matter to that of- cor, who was at Fort Gray, This places the matter ina very differcnt light from the first reports received. The War Department will shortly receive official information in regard to this matter from General Twiggs. Until then ali proceedings in his case will be suspended. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.

Mr. Hustek said he offered the amendmen’ as tho frat T @ eeries to. carry out the will of bis State, which de- ciared the Crittenden resolutions as a bagis oa which it would settle. Mr. CLank, (rep.) of N, H., suggested that the Senator offer the Crittenden sesoluticns 48 a wholo, and not in a eer ics. Mr. Huwtzr continued, He said that ho considered this @ worre proposition for the South thau avy yet offered. He argued that the words, “atatas of peraoas held to labor not to be changed,” would prevent any change in the position of slaves, even preventing eareu: gation, and was substituting iaw Latin fur the plain and mazily Exegheh of the Crittenden resolution He coa- tended also that it povided fur the setslemont, by Jacges appointed by a. party which ep‘ertaius an optaion that there could Lot be property in mao, The South would ‘thue lose the advantage the Dred Scots decision. Ho read a portion of the Chicago plat orm in regard to the free Territories, and saxd the South was asked to submit {te question of rights to judges froma « party holding such pinion, He conterded that under these propositions the South could pever a.guire more twrntory, and wer kdoption would only be an indicvinent to disanion; it would almost force the torder States t» go into the South, ern Contedersey, where thoy could acquire territory. He aid the provision tbat Congress sball provide for the s0- ‘curity of citizens of each State io the priviieges und ta muni tier of all, contained the seeds of civil war, and class Of citiza28 on the Sout. ® Ke and thought by best to Jeaye tho question to the honor of the Stato. The preseut coustitution had been expounded and was well under. stood, but these propositions are fult of doubt and difli- tics, He said he had been informed that the co Congrese Lever took a vole ov the proposition as a whole. Mr. Dootrrrx, (opp.) of Wis., said he had heard tho same ‘hing. Mr. Honig raid be knew a majority of his owa State voted against it, and eaid that he understood the States of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes:ee, North Carolina and Cali‘ ornia poe within bibsmuns vias Ube Uritien- den plan. not, that plan? rg at pald the representatives of some twenty States bad presented these proposittons and asked Coa- grese to present them to the people, and thought that ‘was the only question that had tw be entertained. Lt the Legislatures of thcee States had pres*nted the same pro- positiong, it would not have been proper to amend them. The question was—Would we comply with ths wave Oon- vention or not? He was ready to sacritwe his own views, he wanted to eave the oountry—(applwiso in the galio- ries)—and was willing to accept ot anything that would do it. He weuld vote his own propositions and in favor of these, emanating from the highty respectable body, in hopes of a pacific settlemout. He contended tbat these proporitions gave the South the best poesible security for their rights, was eoouxh for the dreadful occasion, and it was the dreadful occasion which no wished to get rid of, and would trust to posterity and Providence to avoid sutare troubles. ‘Mr. Mason gaid it was a+ great duty that devolved on the Eenate in proposing amendments to the covetitu- tion. For one be could not egree to any anendments unlers they had the sanction of conscience and jadgmont. He referred to the troubles ariging out of the last elec tion, and to tLe committee which were formed iu both houses of Congress on the subject, ond which could not agree. He referred also to the Cwpvention called by bis own honozed State; but he could vot recommend the plan of that Convention at al. Virgiuia knew that her rights would not be eafe vuder the purty which tri umphed, 80 she called a Convention to eee if hor rights could be secured by the States, But if that Conven- tion proposed a plan which not only not secures the rights of the South, but takes away what little it hzs, he would be a traitor if hy did not do- nounce it. He then proceeded to arguo again the proposition of the Convention, claimiag that the first section cot the South of all her rights in the northern portion of the Territory, and left them to lawenit in the other portion. Jt left their right to the common law, and be contended thst the judicial expounders of tue common. law in the free States cen‘ed any right of property in man, Mr. Carireypes replied to Mr. Mason, contending that the propositions of the Convention were fur the eecurity of the rights of the South. ‘The discussion was coptinued by Messrs, Bragg, Mason, Crittenden, Polk and Pugh Mr. Baxen, (rep.) of Oregon, said he intended to vote for the propositions as they wire, avd sabsmil them tothe peopte at large. The country was mi great perti, and he Wwas told that these measures, if parsod, wou"! harmonize the differences; therefore he thought he would do right in submitting the question to the people. Why not gubmit the propositions for approval or rejection? He would not shut his eyes to the fact that twenty states appealed to un, and that States bad seceded, Suppose the arguments of the Senator from Virginia are true, is thas any reason why wo should not submit the propositions to the peoplor If the people reject them 11 is their business, not ours; ani if the people accept them, then they ate measures of peace and union. The Senator from ¥iiginis objected to the propositions; that was one reason why bo (Mr. Ba. ker) agreed to them; and if Virgioia, «& represented here, agreed, he should immediately begin to woudt. If there propositions will satify the border states he would 0 for tand soul. But he was not voting to day; be was simply submittiog them to the people. ‘There was danger to day, and he knew he did no harm in givirg the question to the people. If the pooplo did not like it, let them reject it, If events change so much he was willing to violate the Chicago platform. It was not the constitution of the United States. He was will ing to give up a great deal to preserve the government to our friends in Kentucky and Tepnessee, but not anything to secession. in South Carclina and Louisiana; bat ho thought he did not give op much. He believed slavery was wrong, and he believed under thes» propositions the foul blot of slavery would not be extended over any terri- tory. He thought others alzo gave up a great deal, and he Was willing to meet them half way. He hoped to hear words of pea ¢ and kindness from Mr. Linen, and he oy ected to hear in response a hymn of peace, hope irust. He trusted a great deal to, time and pat therefore he thought the best thing he « vote for these resotutions. Mr. Gueks, (opp.) of Mo., said be regerdou this tho most prominent qucstion ever brought betore the senate. He was willing to moke bimscif » burnt offering op the alter of sacrifice; but he would not take one of the propo- sitions of the Peace Coaference, which iavolved « desor- tion of safety and honor.

The reply to this is that Chase was orginally a whig fora chort time, thon a Democrat, but latterly a free soiler. Hence the Cabinet stands three Whigs, three democrata and one froe soiler. ‘The exact position that each man will cocupy im the Cabinet is not yet fully determined. An effort is unking to make Mr. Bates Secretary of War an Mr. Smith At- torney General, and to give the Navy to Mr. Cameron. The latter does not ke this, and some of hie friends go #0 far ag to declare he will not ro into the Cabinet at all if Mr. Chase is Secretary of the Treasury. The Pennsylvaniane who desire Chase ousted from the Treaeury do not cbject to his being Secretary of War, Dut to this Chase objects. In the midet of this clamor Mr. Lincoln is firm as Gibraltar. Weed is confounded that hig slate ie smashed, and Greeley smiles with eatisfaction. A conservative Virginian notified Mr. Lincoln to-day that if he announced Chase and Blair as among hie Cabi- net officers Virginia wold go out immediately, Mr. Lin- coln was immovable. Depend upon it, the Cabinet is fixed, unless some extraordinary presenre is brought to bear before Monday. Mr. Welles was to have been here yes- terday, but ot having arrived, was tel- graphed today to hasten, An effort is making to change him from the head of tho navy, which place Mr. Ligcoln has assigned him, to the Pos!
