 Foreign Relations.--It is source Uf great satisfaction that, in regard [" the only qnes' ton concerning our Foltign Relations, which was presented to Congress in the Annual Message of thg President of the United States at the c0mmencemrnt of the session ot Con gress, which has just closed. both Houses "t Congress have been unanimous. Both have expressed then opinion that the execution oi the treaty of 1881 ought to he insisted upon, and both came to the unanimous detrrmina- tion that it was not exradent to carry into ef- feet the recommendation of the Presidents Message in relation to1hat sutject. Such was the direct declaration of the Senate, and such the effect of tl,r unanimous vote of the House of Representatives, after passing its declara. 1 tory resolution, 10 discharge the Committee of Foreign Relations from the further consld- eration of that recommendation.
 We hope, however, that the proceedings of the two Houses will not be interpreted, any where, into disposition Co submit quietly to a refusal. by France, to execute the treaty. Such view of the refusal ny Congress now to act upon that hypothesis, would be great error. Congress have expressed Il confidence in the good faith of France. They will not anticipate any necessity fur Legislation in ref erpnce to this business of the treaty; but they ii i-gislat,'. nevertheless, shonld it hereafter appear that there is m intention to carry the treaty into effect. Itdo@s not follow, howev- er-Heavei, forhid that it should that the cf. feet ur consequence of that legislation will be War. We hope that evil is at least as far dis tant from us us the next Presidential Election.
 The long threatened and far famed project of" expungiug" from the Journals ofthe Sen. ate uf the last session the vote condemnatory of the conduct oe the President in regard to the removal of the Dcp"sites, was Itself ex- punged from the proposition on that subject and voted dUwn almost unaniInOnsly ly-tS9 to 71-the originai mover himself being amongst those who voted to abandon the idea Of" "ex- punsing.'" The remaindpr of the proposition, after its offensive feature had been thus Ohlit. erateus was tlien nalitu tO tHe cOuHtt' ny |" vote Uf S7 to 20. The whole proceeding was curious, hut highly honorable to the self re- spect and independence of the Senate. It cannot, however, be properly understood nn. iil the dchaie appears, which will be given without drhy. indeed one ought 10 have been present to properly appreciate the effect of this procecdi0g.-ib.

 fast Day of the Session: Diminished Busiaess: West Point Academy: floss of the ForiifcatioH BiU. -The two Houses ol Congress adjourned, tue night before last, their funCOns then ceasng: and what wreck of public hnsiHess ensued!
 In onr two three last papers we expressed our opinion respecting the state of the public business In the House of Representatives. It would have been as just, had our in,matio0 respected the state of the House.
