 Mir. Po|adeafer said the general nos sage Of tlhle President of tiiile IIa'.ss States treated fully on the sublect. ss sas he was Of opinion that no additional; formation would be eiicited by inc a,Io,s ton of the resolution.
 Mr. Holmes said lie was satisfied tL,, the message of the President diap@ embrace the information which ts resolution called for. The questi~ was. whether the decision by the KAs of the Netherlands was 10 settle ss question ofhoandary Ifnot. inc pprs ident would doubtless propose fur,ha negotiations on the subject, and the X llecl of the resolution was 10 obtain X information whether further negolS tions were or would be proposed. Thl President, in the exercise of lis discrs tion, could give the Senate such par. nation on this important matler as tbev| required. either confdentially or othenI wise, as he might judge proper. It vas due to inc public to require such irior. nation: fer there was 10 small anxjety In the public mind 10 know whether oaI not the decision bY the King oftAa Netherlands vas soHSidered to be bina fi5g eh t!ee lse oose.lia.ei.is eenee,s. lcd.Ne.
 Nlr. Hag'se said he was gencrallF ia favor of motions for inquiry; and n this.
  case i3e woald prefer q posgponenens for a few days. He thought the resO. lntion, at this tine, premature. ThoI President had informed Congress tlia he would hereafter, fully comInumcsh. by special message, all the papersirv- lation to the subject; and he Mr. III #ass ss ef opinion flat the better ennrse would be to wait for that informaiion when, if necessary, a motion for inquiry could be properly shaped.
 Mir. Holmes regretted the suggestion for delay. There vas a very strong feeling on the subject in the State oi Maine, many of the citizens .of which State thought they had been trfaled coolly, ifnot eavalierly. He vouldrot, however, object to tbe delay, for T tew days, but, taking example from hseon- stituents, would be at least as iadul, gent in this matter as they had already been. He would, therefore, consent that the resolution should lay onlh l tabletiil next week,
 On motion of fMr. Hoync, the reselss. was thealaid upon she table.
