The New York Commercial of Saturday
says:-The intelligence from Mont cal, re
ceived yesterday, was but too true. The
Asiatic scourge has, in very truth, entered
the heart of the Western Continent, and the
| Destroying Angel is stretching his arm over
us. Thus far, in Montreal and Quebec, the
disease has assumed its direct form, and was
apparently approaching our own territory
with fearful rapidly. A gentleman who
left Quebec on Tuesday morning, G2th)
has furnished the Courier with the Quebec
Gazette of Monday, the llth, by which it
appears that FiFTY-NINE CASES and
FORT Y-FiYE DEATHS had occurred
up 10 the evening of the 10th, and he reports
at the time Of his departure The cases in
Quebec amounted TO EIGHTY, and the
deaths 10 upw ards ofSIXTY. He describ-
ed the disease as exceeding in malgnitY, a
ny previous accounts OF lis viruienCe either

ed were considered hopeless. He witnessed
lis first symptoms upon .fve emigrants
standing upon the wharf, and before they
could he conveyed TO the hospital, t,co of
them died a servant woman living in the
house where he boarded, was seized with the

loan as will render it fit to work, aud
then lay on thick coat. If the chin
ney has no offsets for the SCOT to lodge
on, it will continue perfectly clean and

those very officers who are said to be sent for the
purpose of maintaining the pontifical authority.
ssComparng these facts with the assurances
gwen by your Excellency in your note of the
28th of February, which promised that General
Corbieres, possessed of the view OF the French
government, was bringing fresh support to the
temporal authority Of the Holy Father, and to
the independence and integrity Of his States. it
only remains with the undersigned to request of
your Excellency to figure to yourself the sad
impressions which the recent report from the de-
legate of Ancona have produced in the mind oil
the Holy Father, and he requests you at the
same time to consider how just and positive were
the reasonings which the undersigned adduced
ia his former notes, viz. that the occupation OF
Ancona BY the French troops, far from contrib.
uting to the re establishment OF tranquility, had
given occasion to the renewal Of past disorders,
in spite of all the declarations made against the
assertion.
The undersigned omits observing upon
other facts, which being directly contrary to the
honor of the French troops, he doubts not will
be repaired at once. Among others, permission
was not given to the pontical troops, who retired
from Ancona by their Sovereisn's order, to car
nv of their own ehcts which they had in the bar
racks. They were not allowed to take their
cartouches, nor to have them sent to the auxila-
ry troop, nor were they permitted to take the
dragon horses. We must therefore protest in
the name of the Holy Father against all these
acts, derogatory to the pontifcal sovereignty, in
order that the rights of His Holiness may be
guaranteed actually and for the future.

clause giving authority to the President to con-
tract for statue of George Washington. was
stricken out, principally on the ground Of the
manner in which it had been introduced into the
bill. The amendments to the bill were then or.
dered to be ensrossed, and the bull to be read
third time. The bill to extend the benefits of
vaccination to the Indians was reported with an

| In the House of Representatives, the whole of
the sitting Of Tuesday was occupied in the fur
Their hearing of the case of alleged breach of pri-
velege BY Samuel Houston. All the witnesses
present were examined before the sitting closed,
and neither party proposed TO Introduce any
other, though it was ntimated as possible that
some other might be introduced.
When the evidence was closed, Mr. Stanbery
said, if it was the pleasure of the House on this
occasion to 90 mo the further examination of the
contemplated fraud, as charged BY him, he was
ready to introduce evidence which would, in his
opinion, place the truth Of the charge beyond
doubt. Whereupon Mr.. Polk expressed hope
that the House would no, further pursue that en-
quiry in this form. piedging himself, however. if
no other Member did SO, to institute an enquiry
BY the House into the whole matter, with firm
belief that it would result in the acquittal OF all
persons charged as being concerned in an inten-
to defraud the Government.
The further hearing OF the case was then post
poned to this day at / o'clock, when the accused
will be heard in his defence By his Counsel,
should no other testimony be then introduced.
