eeedinp of the Senate at Washington ea the 15th, given
by the New York papers of the following day:

" RATLGIR OP BRITISH PTkAT.

" Mr. CHANDLIR called attesters to • resoktioa offered
by him ou the 14th of December, 1864, dire:Mpg the
Secretary of State to make out a list of American vers.
eels destroyed by British pirates in the employ of the
rebel government. Same that time, he said, the bill
bad bees promoted and the British government bad re-
fused to settle it, and sot only so, bat had refused to con-
tinue the controversy oo the subject. Mr. Chandler said
the proper course for this country to pursue was absolute
son-intercourse with Greatßritain until this bill was settled.
True, we might declare war and blockade British porta, and
the world would applaud os, bat non-intsrocarso was the
best peaceful mode of redress. He believed that Mr.
Seward understood that in the event of • war between
Great Britain and any Mbar make, American pirates
would destroy British commerce, just as in the late war
British pirates destroyed American ships. Mr. Cheadle,
at the conclusion of his remarks, offered • joint
resolution, declaring that—' Whereas, by the recent
publication of the diplomatic correspondence be
tweets this government and Great Britain, we are
fully ',dread that the last-earned government hes refused
to repair the damage committed on American commerce
through the agency of her subjects during the late rebel-
lion, and has declined to arbitrate and finally to hear says
thing further on the subject ; tlkiereforo—Besolved: flat
the President is hereby requested to withdraw our Moister
from the court of St. James, and make a proclamation of
national coo-intercourse, which is hereby declared to take
effect after suet proelamMios shall have been Woad.'

" Mr. CHANDLER asked for the immediate consideration
of the above.
