AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

(From the Anglo-American Times)

The 1-louse of Representatives, in concurrence
with the Senate, passed a resolution on the 3d inst. to
adjourn until the 4th of July. It is officially stated that
the Columbian Congress has modified, not rejected the
Darien Canal Treaty.—The Madrid journals contradict
the report from New York that the volunteers in Cuba
were in mutiny. Gun. Jordan escaped from St. Thomas's,
where he states that the inefficiency of the insurgents and
the dissensions of their leaders,render success impos-
sible.— Au insult has been offered by Viceroy Li, at
Ilankow, to the English and American Consuls, whom
the mandari❑ would .only admit to his preience through
the hack door, while the French Consul came through
the front entrance. We aro not aware whether gunboats
were promptly ordered up.—The Committee on Foreign
Affairs in the House of Representatives has made a report
approving the course of the President during the Para-
guayan war in having suspended negotiations with Para-
guay, and in withdrawing the. United States Minister,
General Macmahon.—General Terry, the military com-
mander in Georgia, has suspended the habeas
.corpus in

_ -
that State.
The Senate has unanimously confirmed General
Badeau as U. S. Consul-General in London. We regret to
hear that his able predecessor, the Hon. Freeman Morse,
has been ill, having had to submit to a painful surgical
operation. Re has been for many years absent from his
native country, during which period he has had the good
fortune to render it signal service, at the same time that
he gained the respect of the country to which he was
appointed, by his administration of a difficult post during
a pecularly difficult period. Aithough Mr. Morse's ser-
vices are fully recognized by his countrymen people live
fast iu the Republic, and men are soon forgotten who take
appointments abroad, especially when their most reliable
friends die or lose power, and the late Senator Fessenden
was from Mr. Morse's State. The House of Representa-
tives has passed:A resolution granting a pension of $3,000
per annum to Mrs. Lincoln.

A telegram from the correspondent of the Times,
dated May 2, say s : —"in the House of Representatives
to-day ➢lr. Calkins (Republican), of New York, brought
forward a resolution declaring it to be the sentiment of
the American people that immediate reparation should be
made by Great Britain for the destruction of vessels lie-
longing to citizens of the United States by the piratical
steamer Alabama and other steamers of a like character,
requesting the President to press the Alabama claims to
an immediate settlement, that the citizens may be promptly
remunerated for their losses, and the nation's honour
maintained. The previous question was moved, but the
House refused to second it by 40 to 75 votes. On the
motion of General Banks, the resolution was referred to

the Committee on Foreign Affairs."
Senator Chandler brought forward his resolu-
tion directing the President to open negotiations for the
annexation of Winnipeg as a Territory or State. He
moved in the interest of peace and goodwill. The Red
River Government had shown its rights to recognition by
n.aintaiuing itself for some time against all attempts at
its suppression. His second reason was that the Republic
had invited the world to occupy the entire continent, and
could not countenance a Dominion or any portion of the
continent belonging to the Crown ; that the British Go-
vernment had injured America by hastily acknowledging
the rebels as belligerents, and the damage to American
commerce must now be made good. He had long since put
on record a mortgage on the British possessions of
$2,200,000, half the war expenses, but though the time
had not arrived for foreclosing the mortgage, the interest
might be collected. The people of Winnipeg, as of British
Columbia, almost unanimously asked for admission to
the Union. Great Britain never could, nor did the Union
expect her to pay into Court America's claims to half
the war expenses, and the U.S. Government now simply
proposed to forgive her thudebt if she would relinquish her
title to any part of the continent. Her tit:e would not
hold good, being only based oudiscovery and conquest, and
though the purchase of Louisiana fiont the :French might
suppose the Republic's acknowledgment of this tight, the
nation then was weak; but now the French would be in-
formed that their presence there was au intolerable nui-
sance, and they must leave. The Dominion had become au
intolerable nuisance, costing $10,000,000 to protect the U.S.
frontier from smugglers, and an annual loss of $10,000,000.
If the nation had sufficient strength to abate the nuisance
it should. The Dominion was antagonistic to American
institutions, and the British Government, if intending to
continue its sway there, must maintain it by a force which
could withstand the strength of Alin U. S. He hoped, for
humanity, that an armed expedition might not be sent to the
Red River, as its ultimate destruction would follow; less
than 100,000 British regulars being futile, and if the Ame-
rican people should protest, even such a force would be
useless. Then he compared American volunteers with
the soldiers of other nations, to show that the United States
was now the strongest military power on earth. Mr.
Ramsey, of Minnesota, inquired the fate of the similar re-
solution he had introduced. He alluded to the employ-
ment of Indians, and the report that the expedition was to
proceed through the Sault St: Marie Canal in Michigan;
but Mr. Howard assured the Chamber that the State
authorities would not permit the use of the canal, and he
had it from a high source that the U. B. Government
would not allow these troops to be moved within its ter-
ritory. Mr. Sumner did not believe the British intended
to use the canal, and the resolution was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, to be buried by the side
of that resuscitated by its author, the Senator from
Minnesota.

The House continues to reduce the tariff on iron
and steel. Sheet plate iron, 1 cents per lb to 1 cwt ;
hoops for cotton tie's, 2ic., as proposed, to 11e. ; iron rail-
way rails, from iec. per 100 lb. to 60c.; and Wire, from
half to one cent per lb. on the present rates. On steel
