A vessel has arrived at Cork from America, by
which we have received accounts of the. proceedings'
of Cotgress, confirming the intelligence which we
announced on Thursday, on the authority of pri-
vate letters, that the motion for a Declaration of War
against this country, which had been carried in the
House of Representatives, was lost in the Senate.
[MOM ?RC COMMERCIAL ADVZIMIZI.]
A declaration of war with England passed the
louse of Representatives on Thursday last by a ma-
jority of 25 or 30; and was rejected, in the Senate
by 4 majority, on which we announce this important
intelligence:—

GEOROETON. :MISS.

Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and direct, Aran.
sive, immediate war, I have to-day ascertained, has
passed the Lower House, 79 to 49. There are 34
Senators, one sick and one in the chair, both for
war. Of the 33 left, it is ascertained almost be-
yond doubt, that seventeen are opposed to war, and
two others are quite doubtful.—They say, that al-
though they voted for armies and loans, yet as they
find the public sentiment runs against war, they will
hazard the character of the Administration, in not
voting for it now. The Non- Intercourse will proba-
bly be contittned,and the Embargo will be permitted
quietly to expire.
Both Rouses adjourned until Monday.,
Seven o'Clock, e. K.

I have the pleasure to announce to you, that the
War Question was taken id the Senate this day, and
was decided IN THE NEGATIVE.

NEW Yo June 9.
[/ROY THE NATIONAL INTRLLIOSNCES.]
The 'zonate sat a short time with closed doors yes-
terday, and the House of Representatives for the
whole of the two last days.—Report says, that some
measure of &decisive character has passed the House,
and has been sent to the Senate for concurrence.-4§
The President of the UNITZD STATILS yesterday com-
municated to Congress two letters from Mr; FOURS
to Mr. MONROE, and replies thereto by the SWIM*
TART of STATE, which have passed within the last
week. Of these documents we have not been able
to obtain the perusal ; but we learn that they ens.
brace, on the part of the British Minister, an simpli-
fication of the principles contained in the 4' Declara-
tion" published in our last; and on the part of the Se-
cretary &nervous exposition of their reek haractei, and
incompatibility with our rights and the laws of nations.
We learn that the venerable Joni LANODON has de.
climed the honour of the support tendered to him by
the Republican party, for the °Scoot Vico-President
of the United States, for reasons stated in a letter
from him to the General Committee. Mat of the
absent Members of Congress have returned to their
seats. Three Members only of the Senate are yet
absent, and not more than ten or twelve of the
House of Representatives.
RORRST La Roe LETINOSTON, En. having ac.
opted a commission in the army of the United
States, has resigned his seat in Congress as a Repre-
sentative from New York.

Cadiz Papers have reached us to the 294 alt.—
The Duke del INTANTAOO, President of the Regency,
had arrived, and a change of Ministers was expected.
—Ecto is to be superseded, and the command of
Cadiz given to General O'Donnzt..—They contain
Bazcarrlatis's account of the battle of Boma, in
which he was stated by the enemy to have sustained
a total defeat. He retorts the charge, tad accuses
the French General of impudence, sad of having ar-
ropntly claimed the victory. He does not, however,
give any statement of the extent of his antagonist's
loss, while he admits that that of his own troops
" has not been small." By this conveyance we have
accounts that General Lacy had, with an inferioZ
force, attacked a column of the Preach, amounting
to 3,500 men, and Eve pieces of artillery, with
which they protected the bridge of Molen del Rey,
and rooted them, with the loss of 700 teen, 175 of
which were prisoners. The Spanish General esti-
mates his own less, la killed and wounded, at only
sleety.
