CoNGREss.- The Senate did not sit on Saturday
In the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Wicklite
introduced resolution, the object OF which is to
institute an inquiry into the fact Of pledge being
given by the Government of the United States, to
the South American Republics, to defend their in
dependence agaist the aggressions of any European
power, except Spain, and the precise character of
that pledge The resolution is grounded on CONVEX
sation detailed by Mr.. Ponsett in one of his letters
to Mr.. Clay, (embraced in the documents accom-
panying the Presidents Message,) as having taken
place between him and an officer Of the Mexican
government. The resolution was not finally acted
on, owing to the hour having elapsed before the
discussion to which it led had terminated.
The committee on Foreign Affairs made report,
by MIR. Cro,cninshield, of Mass. the subject
of the Mission 10 Panama, which, we understand,
is decidedly favorable to its objects. Mr.. .M'Lane

Committee ON Foreign Affairs will be taken up on

The House, in Committee of the Whole, took up
the consideration of the claims of the State OF
Massachusetts, for services rendered during the
late war. Mr.. Hamilton, Of South Carolina, the
Chairman of the Military Committee, and MIR.
Davis, of Massachusetts, spoke at length, in favor
of the claims, and Mr.. Houston, Of Tennessee, in
opposition. The Committee ultimately rose, on
motion OF Mr.. Dwight, of Mass. without coming
to any decision
In the Senate on Monday, motion of Mr. Clayton, it
was
Resolved That the Committee Claims be instructed to
inquire into the proprey of providing by law for the
of the of interest paid by the State
of Delaware upon loans of money negotiated by that State
for the benefit of the General Government during the late
war between the United States and Great Britain.

KIDNAPPINe.-The following facts, which have
been detailed to us by respectable citizen, bear a
singular appearance Of mystery and may possibly
lead to a discovery oil an atrocious crime. On
Monday morning last, an inhabitant of Montgomery
county, who resides about fifteen miles from this
city, was called on by large, well proportioned and
well dressed stranger, who informed the farmer
that he had visited him at the request OF his (ihe
farmers) BROTHER living in Philadelphia, who wished
the visitor to bring the farmers son, about thirteen
years of age, to the city. The farmer at first de.
clined, but he was urged by the stranger on the
ground that the boys uncle wished it Tor important
reasons, he consented and his left him in gig
in company with the pretended messenger. On the
evening oi the same day, when it may be remem-
bered severe storm was raging, our informant,
who keeps tavern at the distance of thee miles
from the city, heard voice crying for help near
his door. He opened it, and boy rushed in drench.
ed with rain and was Immediately followed by two
men. The boy claimed the protection OF the tay-
ernkeeper, begged him not to permit the men to
carry him away, stated that he had been taken from
his father that morning on false pretences, that he
had been carried to Kensington and taken to the
wharf where he had been placed in the cabin oil a
small sloop, and that he had succeeded In making
his escape, but tor the last half-mie he had seen
that he was pursued One OF the men stated that
Inc ooy was MS aPpreblice-a iuBitiVe one. He
tavern keeper unable 20 ascertain the facts from
these contradictory steres and considering that he
had no right to keep the boy, suffered the men to
carry him away The next morning by accident
as it would seem, the identical farmer, the father o
the boy, stopped this tavern and related the cir
cumstance FIRST mentioned, and evinced much un
easiness. When the tavern keeper informed him
of the occurrences of the preceding night he be
came the more alarmed. Both came instantly tc
the city, and learned from the boys uncle, that he
had not sent for him, nor had he seen him. The
child has not since been heard of, although every
exertion has been made by the distressed father ant
friends to find him, or some clue that may lead tr
the discovery Of his present situation.
