" WASHINGTON, JAN. 13.

" OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.
" Our readers—every reader—will, we hope, rejoice, a,
perceiving, from the accounts of yesterday's proceedings in
the Senate, that a resolution has unanimously passed that
body, declaring that It is inexpedient at present to adopt
any legislative measures in regard to the state of affairs be-
tween the United States and France.'

With this unquestionable proof of the pacific; temper
of the Senate, and the indications of a similar frame of
mind in the other body, we hope it will now be understood,
at home and abroad, that there is no morbid appetite for
war among the grave and considerate portion of the Ame-
rican people. _

" We Congratulate our readers, and the country at large,
on this prompt and judicious decision of the Senate. De-
clining as it does, under existing circumstances, to ratify
the rash measure recommended to Congress by the Presi-
dent of the United States, we may reasonably hope that it
will have the effect to do away any irritation createl in the
French Chambers.

" The proceedings of the Senate on this subject yester-
day will be found under the proper head. The readers
will there find that Mr. King, of Georgia, after bearing
the strongest testimony to the candid and temperate cha-
racter of Mr. Clay's report, moved to give to the 11,!solu-
tion reported by Mr.. Clay such modification as, without,
changing its substance, would obtain for it an unanimous
vote.

" Mr. Clay accepted, in part, Mr. King's amendment,
but objected to other parts of it, when Mr. Webster sug-
gested the form which the Resolution finally assumed, and
which ultimately obtained the unanimously sanction of
the Senate. Thus, while Mr. Clay's original Resolution
prol;nsed only to withhold the specific measure recom-
mended by the President, the Resolution of the Senate
goes further, And declares that it will not at present adopt
any Legislative ni,easure with regard to our affairs with
France.

" PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE
" WEDNESDAY, JAN. 14.

" SPECIAL ORDER.—The questioi: being on th, resolu-
tion that it is not proper at the present time to invest the
President with such powers,

" Mr. Clay rose, and addressed the Senate upon the
subject at large.
" Mr. King, of Georgia, offered to amend the resolution
by limiting the delay of Congress to act to the time when
further information should be obtained from France.

" Mr. Clay proposed a substitute for this amendment
nearly in the words, That it is inexpedient at present to
adopt any legislative measures in regard to the state of
affairs between this country and France.'
The amendment prevailed, and after a desultory dis-
cussion, _

" The resolution as amended was adopted by yeas and
nays by a unanimous vote, only one Senator being absent.
(From the New York Inquirer.)
" Advices have been received from Mexico, dated the
6th, and from Tampico the 13th ult. Preparations were
making for the assembling of Congress, and a thousand spe-
culations on its measures, as well as on Santa Anna's po-
licy, continued to engross the attention of politicians. The
most important questions at issue were, whether the new
representatives had the power to substitute a central form
of Government for the present, and would endeavour to
exercise it, and whether Santa Anna was sincerely inclined
to oppose the views of the innovators. The latter, hovs ever,
was strongly questioned by many.
" In the meanwhile, the pecuniary embarrassments of
the Administration were so great, that the President had
applied to the merchants of the capital and principal sea-
ports for a loan of 500,000 dollars. This demand was ac-
companied with a declaration that, in case of refusal, he
would be compelled to suspend the receipt of Treasury
notes in payment of duties on imported goods. The mer-
chants, thinking that even a new loan would not avert the
threatening suspension, offered 250,000 dollars, which
was refused. Whereupon the dictator issued a decree, or-
dering that from the Ist of December the duties on im-
ported goods should be paid at the rate of 80 per cent. in
cash, and but 20 per cent in Treasury notes. These were
issued by Santa Anna and his predecessors, to reimburse
the various loans of money exacted from the merchants to
support the Government, or to enrich some of the high
public functionaries.
" Great complaints were made by the numerous foreign-
ers residing in the Republic of the sudden repeal of the mea-
sure allowing the admission, free of postage, of all kinds
of foreign newspapers, and their circulation in the interior
of the Republic on paying a trifling postage. Santa Anna
has given the strictest orders to postmasters, not to deliver
any foreign newspapers, unless the parties should agree to
pay the usual postage charged on letters, that is to say,
abo;2t one dollar for every number of any American or
English i;.aper from Vera Cruz or Tampico to the city of
Mexico.

" Advices from New Orleans state that the intercourse
between that city and Texas, both by sea and land, through
Nachitoches, was becoming more and more frequent, and
that the number of settlers arri.'ed at the latter town from
the western States in the months of October and Novem-
ber was very large.
