ALEXANDRIA.
THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY ,s,s

The Senate Committee Of Foreign ReI,,;on.
consists Of Mr.. Clay, Chairman; Messrs. KIM
Of Georgia, Mangum, Sprague, and Tulmadp.
Il is understood that all these gentlemen. ~.
cept the last, concurred in Mr.. Clays repor,o
the Senate, an abstract Of which is given in 70.
days Gazette. Mr.. Tallmadge, when the re-.
port was read, said "that he concurred in MANY
OF the views conveyed in the report; there were
Others however, from which he dissented. y.
had no doubt that the Treaty was of binding oh.
legation on France; and the refusal ofthe Cham.
bers to make an appropriation to carry il into
effect was violation of the implied faith of M.
tons. He could not concur with the Report in
its views Of the supposed effect OF Mr.. Rive,,
Correspondence on the deliberations of the DE-.
puties. He had no doubt as TO the right Of Con.
gress to act upon the subject at the present mo.
ment in the manner recommended by the Presi-
dent"
Mr.. Calhoun said, he had heard the report
read with the greatest pleasure. 1t contained
the whole grounds which ought to be laid before
the people, that every one might judge for him.
self. He desired that every thing connected with
this important subject should be laid before the
nation. OF all calamities that could fall on this
country, he should consider French war at
this time, and on this question, the greatest and
the most to be depored.
MIR. Preston said, he was strongly impressed
by the views taken by the Committee, and con.
sidered them sufficient to satisfy the people, az
at present advised, that We can honorably and
Justly avoid war with France-that there was
no present occasion for hostilities, or for those
measures which would necessarily involve
state Of war. He concurred most fully in the
reasonable conclusion to which the Committee
had come, not to act on contingency which
might occur or not, but to look to the state Of
things as they actually exist at present. He
would not anticipate events, which, If they un.
fortunately occurred, might place the country
in condition in which she might be compelled
TO adopt an attitude OF hostility. Whether We
were brought into that condition, in consequence
Of misconception Of the Executive as to tie
true policy of the country, or by the exercise OF
the constitutional power which the Chamber Of
Deputies possessed to refuse an appropriation,
il would be our duty to bring to the cause what
ever Of energy and patriotism we possessed 10
defend the honor and the rights of the country,
whoever may be the opponent and whatsoever
the risk.
The sense entertained by the Senate Of the i'm.
portance Of this Report, is manifested BY the or
der of the Senate to print twenty thousand Co
pies oft We wish that there were copy Of II
in the hand ofevery freeman in the country.

The committee also calico before tnem t1e TWO
government directors Mr.. Macalaster and Mr..
Ingraham, and propounded tothem among other
things, the following questions:
|. Could any money go out oil the bank With
out the same appearing on the books2
Answer. We do not think that it could.
g IF such be the fact, We can conceive OF no
case in which money could be applied to cleo
toneering or other improper purposes, unless
by allowing discounts and the application of
the money to purposes, different from those in
Dictated on the face of the transaction. Do you
know or have you any suspicion OF such case
-or do you know Of any loss accruing from
the action of power too much concentrated
Answer. We do not know of any such case,
nor do we know of any loss tn the bank by the
action of power, too much concentrated, yet
might happen when too late to be checked. The
case of ]. Harding was mentioned, which will
be adverted to under another head.)
The committee then stated to those two gen.
tlemen that, as their object was to do entire
justice to the country and the bank. We desired
to be informed of all just grounds of accusation
against the institution, and would be obliged to
them for any suggestion which would direct our
inquiries; and that any such suggestions would
be received, if they desired it. under the seal of
our personal honor.
Answer Of Mr.. Ingraham. have consider
ed the bank question settled. Since have
been at the board, have only attended to the
current business. have, therefore, no infor-
nation that can suggest, except, perhaps, the
case Of Mr.. Elmaker, as government director.

From the ". Y. Journal Of Commerce. LIST OF. MEMBERS ELECTED TO THE TWENTY. FOURTH CONGRESS.

As the Senate IS now full, with the ex- cePtlon of one member from Mississippi, and the House with the exception of two mem bers from Mississippi and one from New York, we have thought complete list might be acceptable to our readers, for the sake of comparison and reference. Those marked with an asterisk ~ are anti Van Buren, the others were elected by the par ty friendly to the present administration, and opposed to the Whig party. Still it is pos slble that some few Of them, especially in the Western States, may take sides against the Van Bufen party. Our object is not to make out case, but to state facts, accord ing to the evidence before us.

 The last Gazette contains a communica- tion under the signature of GA Citizen,' eli cited by the article in our last, under the nature of "A Farmer.'' In jnstice to Gov. Fulton, we make the following extract from it:--
 "Ahout the middle of Sept. last, BENJA- MIN l.. MILEs was appointed Judge of Chicot County Court, in place ofJudge Ma gruder, deceased. When the Legislature met, in October, Mir. Patton vas recom- mended for the office. by the members from that county. and the Secretary of the Ter ritory, under the impression that Mir. Miles had declined to serve. made out a commis- sion for Mir. Patton. The Governor, in signing it, could have had no intention 10 remove Mir. Miles, (even if he had been so ignorant as to suppose he had the power), as no complaint was made against Judge Miles appointment He appointed Judge Miles, in great measure, from his own personal knowledge of him, and no one can suppose that he designed to remove him, without cause. Towards the close of tAe session, Mir. Patton visited Little Rock, and informed the Governor that NIT. Miles had qualified as Judge when the Governor informed Mir. Patton that his {Patton's) commission was void, and the Secretary erased the entry from the record of appoint ments. Mir. Patton and Mir. Triplett seemed satisfied with the Governors ex- planation, and it was hoped no cause of complaint would grow out of the circuni- stances. Judge Miles stands fairly enroll ed upon the record in the office of the Sec retary of the Territory, as the Judge of the County Court of Chicot county; and, with this simple statement of facts. leave 1t to the public 10 judge of the correctness of this late attack upon Coy.

The Editor of the New York Sun, in a late number, says:
 sThe polarity of any magnetic needle will be destroyed in few minutes, by thraeting 1t into an onion! Upon what chemico-mag- netic principle can this be accounted for!-- We, however, claim the merit of the disco very.''
 Let him claim 1t, if he wilt does not, however, belong te him: for we we'll remem- Der that the same discovery was said to have been made some Is or IS years ago, and was the subject of much discussion in the journals of the day. We believed then, as now, that onion juice would have about as much effect on magnet as blister plaster on wooden leg. But fit should be satisfactorily demon- strated that an onion really is possessed of the properties above ascribed to it, would 1t not be worth while for the United States to try to get small colony from Wetherfeld to settle in Magnet Cove, iii iii this Territory, which, owing to the great quantity of native magnet 1t contains, cannot at present be sur vcyed!
