A long and animated discussion took place on
the renewing of the Alien Act, which was pro-
posed by the Secretary of State for the Home
Deportment. The measure was most vehemently
opposed by Sir J. Macatexosii. Mr. SCARLET;
Mrs C. Ilirrimmusost, mod Mr. DRRw+•N ; and sop.

that mud not lament this deci►ion. It was pro-
posed without argument, and its necessity wall en-
forced on the worst of all grounds, the responsi-
bility of the hlinister. For what responsibility can
there be, when the Secretary of State can at all
times use his own discretion in its exercise, without

the possibility of the merits of the ease being ever
koowu ?

The Paris Papers to the 3d instant have been
received. Their contents are not important. The
pretended Russian 51.4nife.to is pronounced a spu-
rious fabrication. The judgment must have been
very shallow that could have been misled by such
a weak invention.

Philadelphia Papers to the 11th last have
reached town. It was confidently reported at
Washington that a Commercial Treaty with France
was in a very forward state. The President trans-
mitted to Congress on the 6th of May two im-
portant letters from the Spanish Ambassador,
protesting against the United States recognising
the Independent Governments of South America.
Alluding to the reason mentioned in Congress, the
Treaty between General 0' Dow Wu and iTURIIIDE,
at Cordova, on the Bth ult. the Spanish Ameba*.
'stint priests, that the instructions there mentioned
were false; that the document was founded in for•
fiery; and that the reasons of the United States for
recognising the Independent Governments being
derived from errinierius premises, the Act should
he recalled. In another letter, the Ambassador
is autlioiesed to demand satisfaction for the in-
sults offered to the Spanish Officers in the Flori.
des, and he applies the words 'I false 'ma Unfound-
ed" to the statements of General Jaccabs.

•Such was the eagerness to conclude the business
of congress for the season, that the Moe of Re-
presentatives met at six o'clock in the morning,
and contibucd till a late hour every day.
