Col. BENTON. What comment on
the ,urpi,ude Of the resolution, that in

Presiden, had 4 decided majority, i,
could not be carried. We have repeat

The American schooner ATLANTA
was recently wrecked on the bar Of
ramPieo. Driven by the violence Of
the gale into this dangerous position.
her commander. captain Hughes. made
signals Of distress to attract relief from
the shore. but without success. On
the following morning the French
brig OF war ffnconstsnt, OF 20 guns,
commanded by Capt. Douguiliecour,.
hove IN sight, and Perceiv,ng the sig
nails Of distress. notwithstanding the
violence OF the yale. manned one OF
his boats and sent it to the relief Of he
ATLANTA. No aid. however, could be
afforded. the boat being threatened with
instant destruction on every attempt
which Vas made TO pass the breakers
by which the schooner was encom-
passed. and dashed away bv every re.
ceding wave. Notwithstanding these
difficulties the French sailors pulled
their oars with the desperation Of no
BILE fellows who had made up their
minds to save the unfortunate or perish
IN the attempt. Captain Hughes states
that he had never before witnessed
such heroic daring and intrepidity as
was displayed on the occasion. Sc
veral times their little bark was filed
with water by the overPowering waves.
Perceiving for length Of time that no
human succour would avail, he made
signals for these brave men 10 give up
the attempt and retire. but he was on
ly answered by renewed efforts to come
TO his assistance. At last. con WINGED
that the vessel was irrecoverably lost,
