been received by the Vanderbilt to the effect that Mr.
Dallas has placed in the hands of Lord John Russell a
dispatch from Washington, in which it is stated that
the United States Government bas resolved to abandon
privateering, and thus to accept the declaration respect

at the Paris ' Congress. There is not one

From these figures it will be seen, says the New York
Herald, first, that no party has a majority of the House;
secondly, that the republicans are within striking dis-
