We have already stated that the Senate
which renmincd in secret session on Wcdncs-
day until a very late hour, confirmed the
nomination Of Mr.. STEVENSON as; Minister
to England. 1t appears by the vote that
greater opposition was made 10 his nom'na-
lion at this session. In the absence OF
Mr.. LEIGH, Mr.. WEBSTER, and MIR, kEST,
all opposed to the nominations there were
still nineteen Senator's voting against 1t.
The injunction of secrecy having been
taken off from the vote, and the report of
the Committee on Foreign Relations, we
publish the latter in our pepper to-day, to
show the grounds on which the minority arc
presumed to have voted.

o. We copy from the Richmond Wing, by
request, an article vndcatorv of Gen. Scott,
which is evidently from the pen Of one who is con-
versant with the facts While our opinion, in re-
lation TO the competency of Gen. Scott to conlnct
an Indian war, has undergone no change, we have
no doubt that his chances of success in Florida
were not more diminished by his own apparent
slol than by the inadequacy of the means placed
in his hands by the government to prosecute tho
campaign, and by the rivalry and hatred existing
between the leading Army officers, each endcavor-
ing to paralyze and bring the others into discrcdt.
The administration may conceal the proofs of its
own cnpability, and thereby escape the condem-
nation it merits for its neglect of the lives and pro-
perry OF the people but its officers, it is to be ho
ped, cannot i; and, for one, we think the whole of
them, from Major General Macomb, the play
wright and waltzer. down to Brig Gen. Jcsup the

" cankers of a long pcace," seemingly much bet
