quorum
in attendance, and much more than a quorum in
town ; but the certainty of an adjournment to-morrow
compels many Members to leave the House for a por-
tion of the day, " to settle up," and arrange their af-
fairs here, preparatory to leaving to-morrow evening,
or Thursday morning. Acontemptible and malignant
slander on Congress has been circulated in adviknee by
many papers,—to the effect that there •would "be no
quorum in the House on the question of concurrence
in Tariff amendments on Monday.".
A perfectly unfounded, unwarranted, gratuitous
Falsehood ! The votes during the last ten days -will
show that the attendance of Members has averaged
better than during the greater part of the sestion.
The vote on the Tariff yesterday exhibited 165 Mem_
bers present at that moment, and there wets many
more in the Capitol in the course of the day: The
votes on various questions on Friday and Saturday
showed nearly 200 Members present.
Thet calumny should be retracted by those papers
that
,• have given it currency.
In the hurry of preparation for departure it is al-
most impossible to write to-day ; and no interest is
manifested in the very unimportant remaining pro-
ceedings before the two Houses.
The House is in Committee of the whole on Mr.
Wise's Bill for the re-organisation of the Navy de-
partment. Messrs. King and Wise have debated
the Bill.

The Committee of the whole reported ate Bill to
the House with many amendments. The House con-
curred and passed the Bill; but the multitude of
amendments requiring the concurrence of the Senate
will probably delay the Bill so much as to defeat it.
The Senate have passed the Fortification Bill and
some private Bills this morning. They have done
some glorious work in Executive session lately.
They rejected five Tyler nominees yesterday--among
them were Joseph Graham, of Cincinnati (the reci-
pient of Tyler's famous anti-Congressional letter),
and Col. Starke, of Mississippi (Wise's witness in the
race-course encounter with Stanly)—both nominated
as Commissaries under the Choctaw Treaty of Danc-
ing Rabbit Creek.

In place of Francis J. Grund, Mr. Mann, of Cin-
cinnati, a very competent and acceptable person, has
been nominated and confirmed as Consul at Bremen.
Mr. Sanchez, nominated as Marshal of Fast Florida,
has also been rejected—an act of signal justice, al-
ready too long delayed. The y have also refused to
reinstate Capt. Clack, of the Navy.
The President had this morning communicated to
the House the fact that he has approved and signed
the Tariff Bill !

At the same time he sent to the House a very long,
bitter, abusive, and wordy Protest against Mr.
Adams's Veto Report, and against various other pro-
ceedings of Congress. It is a very laboured defence
of his peculiar course against the Whigs. It was
taken up at half-past two o'clock (after a call of the
House, which exhibited more than 140 members in
attendance), and was read.
The reading is not yet finished. Mr. Adams is
watching like a tiger for the floor.
In their action on this strange production, the
House will be strictly governed by the precedent
established by the votes of Senator John Tyler and his
Whig associates in the Senate, on the question of the
disposal of Jackson's protest in 1834, or thereabouts.
MIT 20.—We have, via New Orleans, a few items
of intelligence from Mexico. Santa Anna was ex-
cessively enraged at Mr. Webster's letters to the in-
solent Bocanegra, but whether his anger will assume
a substantial form we do not learn. The expedition
of 7,000 Mexican troops to the Texian frontier was
covertly going on.
The schooner Waterwitch, and several other vessels
in the harbour of Vera Cruz, had been put in requi-
sition as transports.
Considerable sums in silver are about to be shipped
from Tampico and Vera Cruz to New Orleans. 'he
steamer Dee brought 52,000 dollars to the house of
Lizardi and Co.
IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.

TIIE TARIFF BILL SIGNED....-PROTEST OF THE PEE•

SIDENT-ADJOUENMBN T, &C.
_ _

The Washington Correspondent of the New York
Union gives the following important news from
Washington :
WASHINGTON, AUG. 30.—1 have hinted that you
might expect a powerful development ere Congress
adjourned, and here we have it this morning in the
shape of a protest of the President against the Report
and formation of the Committee of thirteen, at the
head of which was Mr. Adams, on the subject of the
President's last veto. _

_
It was sent to the House bright and early this
morning, when the honourable: refused to receive it,
or to permit it to be entered on their journal. It is
now in the hand of the executive printer, and will
soon be set up, but no copies can be forwarded before
it is read in the House. As soon as it is printed,
Mr. Profit will offer a resolution respecting it, in
some shape or other, before the House. In this
way we shall induce action, but any other way would
be useless.

It is a strong document, though a very short one,
and handles the constitutional question with the ability
of a perfect master. It will scarcely occupy a column
of the Union. Should the orders be removed in time
for the four o'clock train, I will forward you some
copies by the editor's mail.
The President has signed and returned to the House
the Tariff Bill. Where is the censure now ? The
Bill is bad enough in all conscience, but it is not
coupled with the land clause, and he put his name to
it this day.
The Election District Bill, and the Bill to repeal the
land clause, are both up, and will pass before Congress
adjourns. If in time to allow him to write his reasons,
they will both be vetoed ; if not, he must put them in
his pocket, and let them die a natural death.

I;.oortant intellig-ence amt. a Tariff
1 the Congress without the land

d had received immediately. the sane-

lion of the PitESID.ENT: This settlement; appa-
reLtly unexpected, of a much disputettand difii-
cty+s subject, has given great satisfaction to all
pati:ieS in America. It is, of course, a coutpro-
iniZ;e. The Senate coucuryed with the House of
-Representatives in repealing the sixth sec-
, tion ;9t.the Land Distribution Bill, by which the
stronge.st objection to the united
rTneasnre,;,yas removed, and he signed the tariff the
instant it was presented to him. The restoration
of
pros!yerity in the States, which is looked for
yypi .2E3' measure, ea ;:not be indifferent to
• Went Britain ; and though we can readily be-
lieve that a tariff more fitvourable to us would
•heve been passed had our (jam-laws been re-
Pealed, We heartily congratulate our country-
'Arlen on a.:settlement which must give confidence
to the merchants of both countries.

We have alsoto congratulate the public on all
doubtsabont th.e'settlement of the Boundary ques-
tion being at' an end. These papers bring us the
Boundary Treaty itself, signed on Aug. 9 by the
two neomtiatorsord ASHBURTON and Mr.
`WEB TER, and ratified by the American Senate
on Aug. 20, by 39 votes. to -9. We were pre-
vicusly iiii;)rtned that the treaty had been agreed
to; and the sketch that was given in the Ameri-
can papers of the line adopted is not in any
importao,t. particular different from that in the
treaty ;.hut the possession of the treaty itself, and
the raiifieation of the Senate, removing all doubts,

are rrratif-inp-circum'stanees.
f

The treaty, too, is more extensive than a boun-
dary trea:ty.ls° contains stipulations for re- ,
pressing the slaVe trade, and for the two Statso
treutuaily delivering up criminals. By the regu-
lations as to the boundary, Great Britain is se-
erred an uninterrupted military communication
between her North American colonies, and the
Americans secure the free navigation of St.
John's river. Care is taken of the interest of the
settlers, and all grants of land made by either
State, in territory now belonging to the other, is
confirmed. There is yet a line to be run between
the source of the St. Croixand the St. Lawrence.
and two Commissioners, one from each country.
are to meet at Bangor, in Maine,. on May 1, to
run this line; but that we feel assured, while
there is ,such a good disposition on both sides, I
will cause no difficulty, and we confidently be-1
lieve that the country may look on the Boundary
question, which has been so long a source of
vexation to both countries, as finally settled. It
seems to have been accomplished in a business-
like way, on the give-and-take principle, both ,
Parties. being desirous of coming to an agree-
mein% Considering the time the question
has. been open, its great importance, and
the trouble it has caused and might yet
cause, the settlement is honourable alike to
the present Governments of the United States
and of England, and especially to Mr. WEBSTER
and Lord ASREURTON. Though, perhaps, it is
not a great work to conclude such a treaty in five
moaths,, yet, contrasting their vigour and success
with the dilatory and procrastinating proceed-
ings of their predecessors, we must say that they
are deserving of great praise.
The treaty provides for the •
suppression of the '
slave trade, by both parties agreeing
tain to naval force of not less than 80
guns main-
on the
coast of Africa, the two squadrons to act com-
bined, but independently. Nothing Is said of
the right of search, it being obviously the inten-
tion that ships under the American flag should
be visited by American men-of-war, and Great
Britain can require no more than that the
United States .should co-operate cordially with
her in suppressing- the slave trade. It will be
done, probably, at a greater cost than necessary;
but of Governments is, according to
conmionopinion, best maintained by never achiev-
ing an object by the simplest and easiest means.
The regulations agreed to a; to criminals are
quite reciprocal, and apply to murderers, forgers)
pirates,. robbers, and - incendiaries. Evidence is
to be required of the criminality, the Judges are
tube the instruments for carrying the stipula- •
tions into execution, and the expense is to be
borne by the parties making the requisition.
E,•tr-f branch of the treaty will serve to prevent
collision between the two States; and it is fbr
Lilo' 'advantage of the people in both countries
that it has been concluded.
