UNITED STATES.

The latest dates from Washington are to the 19th
ph. The senate, having passed the Utah Bill, the
Texas Boundary Bill, the bill for establishing a terri-
torial government in New Mexico, and the bill for
admitting California into the union, had taken up
the Fugitive Slave Bill. Several amendments had
beenoffered,butthe measure wu making slow progress.
In the Hosea a Representatives, motions to susperd
the standing orders and take up the territorial bills
sent from the senate on the 20th or 23rd, were re-
jected. The Appropriation Bill was advancing very
tardily.
Texas mem resolved to continue obstinate on the
boundary and other territorial questions. The follow-
ing protest, addressed by Governor Bell to the late
president, has been published:
Executive Department, Austin, Texas,
June 16,1850.
Sir,—llader the authority of an tat passed at the late m-
aim of the legislature, Major N. ti. Neighbors wu ap-
poistsi by me special commissioner on behalf of this state,
Is gams a log orpraphation of the county of Banta Fe; and
be -_fly proceeded there in March lest, Col. John
Meares, mmesesing the 9th military departmeat, hoarier
of the ggreatk of the commissioner, addressed a circular to
his en to °Sows, ordering a " strict non-interference"
with hint in the discharge of his duties. A copy of this ch-
eater letter was received by the oonamissiener whilst on his
way to Banta Ft. It was not only gratifying to him as an
evidence of the impartial attitude intended to be oocnoied by
the general government, but 'aspired him with confidence
in the shone of his mirefon. A short time, however, after
his arrival at Baste Fe, Colonel Mms, styling himself
civil and military governor of the territory of New Me:UN
end suing, as must be premised, uadar your Instructions,
issued a proclamation on the 23rd of April last, directing
the qualified electors of New Maim to held an intim
