so current that there had been an angry correspondence
between the British Minister and the Secretary of State
since the date of the last correspondence between them, now
before the public. There was no foundation for this rumour.
It was true that, since that time, a single note bearing upon
the subject had been address d by Mr. Fox to Mr. Forsyth,
which the latter had answered; but this note and answer were
of solittle importance that he (Mr. Buchanan) did not deem
it necessary to call for their publication, and their tone was
far from hem; of an angry character.
Mr. Clay made a few brief remarks, understood in substance
to be that, in his position with the Committee on foreign re-
lations, derived as it had been from the Vice-President, it
might not be amiss in him to say a few wor,is in relation to
the subject. The questions in immediate dispute between the
two countries were the north-eastern boundaiy,the affair of the
Caroline, the case of M'Leod, and certain seizures on the coast
of Africa. The most important was doubtless that relating
to the north-eastern boundary. Reference has been made to
an arbitration that was to settle definitively the question, and
all the principles that should regulate the composition of the
arbitration had been settled on, except some minor points
of detail. With regard to the Caroline, there had been some
delay in answer to the command of our Government, whether
her capture within our jui istliction had been previously autho-
r:sed sr subsequently sanctioned.
As to the case of M'Leod, a good deal del ended on what
the Government of New York should co in the matter. In
his opinion, there ought to have been some intimation by the
Exeetrive to the proper aurhori'y in New York of the necessity
of affording to the accused a fair and impartial trial; and to his
erson, if acquitted, perfect security.
If this could not be obtained where he was, he should be
brought to a part ; f the country where strong prejudice did
sot exist, and where the safety of his person should be put
beyond all question. He thought it probable that New York
would take that course without suggestion from any quarter.
He hoped he might have a full, fair, and impartial trial, such
as it was the duty cf the country to have guaranteed to him.
With respect to the African captives, he did not know what
correspondence had taken place between the tweGovernments;
but under no circumstances would this country submit to the
right of search.
Mr. Clay gave it as his decided opinion that the state of the
difference between the two countries was not such as to require
a special minister. The Minister resident there would be able
to do all that was necessary in the premises without difficulty,
and he thought without delay.
[Mr. Buchanan (in an under tone) : lam sorry to hear that.
I expected to be your secretary of legation. Mr. Clay bowed.]
After all (said Mr. Clay) I have not yet begun to think of
the possibility of any immediate war with Great Britain; that
time has not arrived yet. But however distant it may be, I
would relax no effort to place the country in a proper state of
defence. He looked to the absence of ail means of floating
defence, steam-batteries, &c. with the deepest concern. He
thought the Government should apply all its energies to place
the country in such a state of defence as would prepare it to
meet any possible exigency that might arise.
Mr. Clay expressed his belief that both Governments de-
sired peace; that it was essential to the interests of each ; and
that if war cid come, it would not be from the will of the Go-
vernment, hut from collateral causes, over which they would
hare no control.

The Committee was then discharged, according to the mo-
tion of Mr. Buchanan.

The Washington Intelligencer, of the 2d inst.,
has the fbllowing remarks on the proceedings in
the Senate, which will be read with pleasure :

We earnestly congratula'e our readers on the information,
concerning the relations between the United States and Great
Britain, which they will find exactly stated in the report of
yesterday's Senate proceedings. Considering the rumours
that have been in circulation, nothing could be more interest-
ing to the whole country at the present moment than the dis-
closures in the Senate, unb-ss, perh..ps, it be the chart of the
principles of the new Administration,
_ which may be expected
in the new inaugural address of the President elect.
We learn from the statement of Mr. Buchanan,: that in re-
gard io the boundary question, the Governments of Great Bri-
ta n and the United States have agreed upon the main points
of a c.:nveLtion for the final adjustment of that question ; and
that, in the opinion of the Executive, there is every reason to
look with entire confidence to a prompt and satisfactory termi-
nation of the long negotiation upon this question.
We learn further, with great pleasure, that there is no
foundation for the rumour that an angry correspondence has
recently taken place between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth, or any
correspondence, the character of which would justify a call for
its publicity.
he remarks of Mr. Clay, whose wisdom and experience
in our foreign relatkns stamp every thing he says on that
subject with a more than common impress, are no less im-
portant, than acceptable. Happy must it be accounted
that upon this very interesting and important matter the
leader of the party coming in and of that which is about re-
tiring, entertain opinions upon it between which then.: is
hardly a discernable shade of difference.
The statement of the Cbairrnais of the Senate's Committee
on foreign relations, the reader cannot fail to perceive, has all
the effect of a counterblast to the martial appeal made the other
day by the distinguished Chairman of the Committee on foreign
relations in the other House. The effect mark! We do not
say the " intention," as we are not in the counsels of the ho-
nourable senator from Pennsylvania, or of the administration
whose confidence he enjoys.
We accept with the liveliest satisfaction these
indications of a return to good sense on the part
of the Legislature and the press of the United
States. We are as anxious for the maintenance
of a tranquillity essential to the welfare of the
human race and the advancement of civilization
as the most peaceable among our Transatlantic
neighbours. The Government here shares in
these sentiments, so that nothing is wanted but
the manifestation of a kindred spirit on the part
of the United States' Executive to ensure the
continuance of the most friendly relations be-
tween the two countries.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached
us. On that day .commenced the debate in the
Chamber of Peers on the Fortifications Bill. The
debate was opened by the Duke de BROGLIE,
who made a long speech in suppdrt of it. He
treated the prospect of the continuance of peace
as a delusion, and contended for the necessity of
preparing for war. M. VILLIERS DE TONAGE
made an able speech against the Bill. and proved
that in war the walls would be as useless as du-
ring peace. M. LAMOIGNON next ascended the
Tribune, and was speaking when the Post left
Paris for London. Count St. AULAIRE, the
French Ambassador at Vienna had arrived in
Paris to vote for the Bill.
But whether the Bill pass or not Louis PHIL-
LIPPE will have the walls. While the Chambers
are debating the expediency of the measure, the
KING is building with the utmost rapidity. Bolls
on the right and the left bank of the Seine hun-
dreds of workmen were busy .the whole of last
week erecting fortifications. To the KING,
therefore, it is a matter of indifference whether
the Bill pass or not. The Ministry must find
money to defray the outlay incurred before the
rejection of the measure.
The Sod, Marseilles paper, has the following letter from a
Correspondent :
" By advices received from Mogadore it is stated that there
arived on the 13th of Feb: nary, on beau! the English vessel
Lord Redesdale, from London, 1,000 bullets, 1,000 sabres,
1,000 musket barrels, 100 cases of shot, and 50 barrels of
gunpowder of 1901bs. each. These articles, which have ar-
rived at the address of the British Consul at Mogadore, are
for the account 'of the Emperor of Morocco, who intends
them for a service which it is useless to explain, and which
may be easily understoo;l. At a moment when that country
excites our interest to such a pitch, in consequence of the in-
sult which our flag, our Consul, and our residents have re-
ceived, I dare hope that you will give a place in your journal to
the 'weeding account."

an English smuggler, laden with tobacco, had been captured
off that port, and that three Englishmen found on board, named
Boots, Richard's, and Pilford, had been committed to the
prison of Cherbourg.
he Semaphore de Marseilles, of the 19th inst., publishes a
letter from Mogadore, announcing that, on the 13th ult., the
vessel Lord Redesdale, coming from London, landed in that
harbour 1,000 cannon balls, 1,000 sabres,' 1,000 musket barrels,
50 boxes of grape shot, and 50 barrels of gunpowder, con-
signed to the British Consul in that residence, on account of
the Emperor of Morocco.
According to the Droit, the trial of Darmes, the regicide,
will take place immediately after the debates on the Fortifica-
tion Bid have terminated in Paris. Darmes, it adds, will not
appe,ar alone at the bar, as his confessions had led to several
arrefts.

'I he dissolution of the Chamber appears to be decided. The
National reprints the article, in which the Constitutionnel
hints at this re'olution of the Ministry. The electors ought
o prepare themselves. Never was the aspect of affairs more
serious ; never were the unanimous efforts of all honest men
more necessary.
The precautions taken at the Palace of the Tuileries are
greater than ever. Besides the numerous posts and pickets
of troops of the line, with well furnished cartridge boxes, which
are pliced in all the corners of the Palace, detachments of
cavalry of fifty men each are furnished every day. These de-
tachments, organised so as to be able to advance at the first
signal, are kept permanently equipped in the barrack on the
Quay d'Orsay, which are occupied by the Regiment of Cui-
rassiers.
The Haro of Caen says, " A confidential circular of the Di-
rector of the Custom .house of Cherbourg, addressed to all the
officers douaniers in his district, enjoins them to use the
