MIR. Clay, he says, " Span, in spite OF her multi
~, does not cease in her efforts TO augment the
army of America, so far as TO induce Us to suspect
that foreign hand affords these aids, which are
by no means in harmony with TIE scantiness OF the
the resources OF the Peninsula Now, sir, if we
are to commit ourselves to go to war on behalf
of the States of Spanish America, in the event of
interference OF third power in the quarrel between
them and Spain. the obligation will depend, pre-
sumo, upon the fact, and not upon the form, OF
interference. Whether that interference, be BY
openly sending fleets and armies, to fight the bat
ties of SPAN, or by secretly furnishing the means
with which those fleets and armies are procured
and supported, the injury to our Southern friends
will he the same, and the obligation upon Us, to re-
pei il, will consequently lie the same
But sir, seeing the dangerous extent OF the con-
sequences involved in these measures suggested by
President, il may be said, he does not express a
positive opinion that they ought or will be adopted
al the Congress OF Panama. Sir, they are evident
iy brought forward as the result OF previous deli
beraiion, and seem 10 be offered substitutes Tor
the projects which had been presented by the
Spanish American Ministers. They must, there
fore, have been duly weighed; and it is fair TO
presume, that the President would not have sug-
gested them at all, If he had not been prepared, on
his part, for their adoption, at least thought
them entitled 10 the most favourable cOaSuieyG-
ton. That the President has made up his mind TO
concur in these, or other measures, of an equiva.

part OF his message. III which he labours TO show
that the advice OF General Washington. TO " have,
with foreign nations, as little political conneXion

In the House of Representatives, Mr. Bartlett of New
Hampshire, offered the following resolution
Resoived, That the Committee Naval Affairs be in
struced inquire into the expediency of disseminating
the abshmen OF the Navy Yard and Navy Station at
Philadelphia.
Mr. bartlett stated in explanation of the object Of his
resolution, that the navy yard Philadelphia had been
taxed by the local authorities; that the commanding off,
had resisted the payment of the tax until his personal
property had been placed in DANGER and that he had then
made aymen of about hundred dollars He repre-
sened that this power of taxation had not been exercised
any former period in any other place. He was of
opinion that the easiest remedy would be the
navy station, which, he believed, it was necessary
retain at Philadelphia This in his opinion, would be
better than to enter into contest with the great state of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, made some remarks
in reply He did suspect that such resolution would
have been offered. He wished time to reflect and
inc before it adopted and with this view, moved to
lay the resolution the table, but afterwards withdrew
his motion.

Mr.. Barten explained
Mr. Buchanan asked if the strong arm of the General
Government not sufficient to vndcae its rights Was
sufficiently powerful to redress its wrongs, and to
punish the local authorities if they ransgessed the law
Why should such measure as this be proposed to the
IIouses In relation tine yard ITSELF the ships there
better than they are at any other and are we to re-
move the station because of this little bickering?
MIR. Sprague, of N.ane stated that the reasons as
signed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania, for not going
into inquiry sufficient in his opinion, to justify in
quiry. An attempt had been made to impose tax. 1t
had not been done in any other case. The gentleman
from Pennsylvania sad do not know that this has been
done by the authorities. We wish to know this. The

gentleman from Pennsylvania has sad this is the best
