MlNlSIER ~ KUSSlh,
Debate IN the BOiSe of Representatives. Thursday,
I5th January, 1851, IlIr proportion to strike out
of the general dp ropridton bill the item OF 50 900
for the payment Of the salary Of The United Safes
munster 10 the court OF Russia. TIE question was
on the adoption Of the molten OF MIR anbcrfy, OF
Ohio, TO the above oHec.- Concluded.
MIR Wayoe observed, that when the gentleman
fem Ohio made the motion 10 strike lrom ',- bill I'M
consideration the appropriation tor the salary OF the
minister 20 Russia, he had accompanied IT with two
de cdrauon, neilher Of which was TACT. though both
had the appearance OF beng So The moral apprrien-
sou Of The gentleman Will readily Distinguish between
them aud also suggest 10 him bow lar the difference
"a this instance had been accidental His declarations
WERE hat the Pte-idt M had told tue United States
was Iepfs med at he court Of Russia and That II
was a. probable we would be, the last beirg
assertion OF MIS- These were the reasons he had
given sustain his motion, aud both he Processes TO
have derived IOm the message. Sir, the President,
after stating our aIuicable relations wh Russia, and
that no will bs left mpioyed to promote them,
and TO improve the commercial intercourse between
the two aIiUns sincerely regrets 10 inform that
extrems inGispO'iiion had compelled the minister to
leave, temporarily his post, for genial climate,
and that this was a privilege which had been commit
ted 10 the minister's discretion, in consideration of the
extent to which his constitution bal been in paired in
the pubic ,etvice. But the President also states he
had received he most satisfactory that the
public interests would not suffer in the minister's ab
s-Dce az IL hi intention to keep up au intercourse
with the Russian Cabinet, through thu Secretary OF
Legation. SO far then, sir, from not b,iug represent
ed we arc informed that, overwhelming disease hal
he was, though under s pressure, moi unmindiu oil
his duty Of The ticular interests which bad been
hded TO bin, anil OF the welfare his country. How
different Is this statement from the naked declaration
of the gentleman, which, without sny explanation
from him, implies an entire suspension OF all neEoia'
lions during the minister's absence, conveys ultima
ton that the public interest was suffering, aud the i'm
putation that the appropriation asked pay for
conductive aud not Tor actual services. IL may sui
the geotlemsus views TO use biz place here 10 make
such insnuaoos for circulation out Of the House, but
when they unwafTanted 10y the only document
which we have 10 give Information upon this sub-
isct aud upon which be makes his assertions, and hat
written N plain ,unahecttda0d candid manner,
that IL cannot De mistaken bui by great cofslessfe s OF
deposition TO petvert it, he must ear the esPo'uro
Of the diff renee between HE declarations and tbs "a
tboriy Upon which he frst' them and not compaln II
his motives should even no harsbly suspected Equal
Iy unfortunate - The geutlemans declaration, that IL
wasno, probable would soon be represented ut the
Russian court il the opposite conclusion to which
q candid mind would come from The laugueg, Of the
message. ID such Gaze, nothing could be certainly
