The marriage of Chevalier Bodisco, the
Russian Minister, which has so long-been
talked OF, has a, length taken place. Mr.
Fox, the British Minister, the Belgian
Minister, Mr.. .Paulding. Jr., and Senator
Buchanan, acted as groom's men. Mr..
Clay, of Kentucky, gave the lady away
The preparations for this marriage, have,
It is said, been more costly and elegant,
than for any.other that ever took place in
this country. The Chevaler is reported
10 bc very rich. -4,s....-y.z,.
The subiec, of our relations with Great
Britain is conversej of here and regarded
with undiminisbed anxiety. An apprc-
hension exists, though as | hope without
foundation, that the report of CO.. Nudge
and Mr.. Fealrerstouhaugh h will be adverse
10 our views Of the Boundary, as fixed BY
Tho treaty Of 1888. In this'case, another
arbitration will not probably be agreed TO
by Great Britain, and she will make no
courier proposition, but retain possession
Of phe territory, increase her military force
there, aud continue her entertainments, till
she ha, gonded US into awar.
Mr.. Adams, in his remarks on this sub

imagine upon what grounds the President
felt so secure against the occurrence Of q
collision with England, ua,il hefeand that

ference TO third party. lie thea declar.
ed that Maine will assent to this. taunted
her with her cool and "tamen submission
assumes tt,at England, from ,emPori-
zing disposition, will assen, 10 il, because
it will give her quiet possession for years,
and then concluded that there is no longer
any ground Of apprehension Of a collision.
This Speech; which, seen,s TO have been
chiefly Intended to provoke Maine TO take
the quarrel into her own hands, aud there
by precipi,a,e the country into war,
overlooks the contingency which is now
the chief ground Of apprehension here, to
Sit: all adverse report from the British
Government will discontinue what Mr..
Adams call, "thsir prerarications here" and
continue their encrodchments there" We
shall have one advantage over her in this
result, that we can take our own time for
making war, and wait, at least, till we ore
better prepared for it, in Il military and
financial point Of view.
T'he tremendous "defaIcation," as they

In the Senate, Mr.. Buchanan from the

the Resolutions heretofore introduced ny
Mr.. Calhoun, in relation to the rights Of
neutral vessels dfivenb by stress Of weather
into The ports and under the jurisdic;:
ton Of friendly power. The Tesolu-
lltions are reported without mod'flca-
ton, except as regards the phraseology of
The secoud. Tbs first and third are re-
ported verbatim. The third resolution
declare that the seizure Of The negroes on
board oflhe Enterprise. in Port Hamilton,
Bermuda, was in violation Of the laws o.!

10 doubt that the almost unanimous assent

IS another question. tits my opinion that
NO ministry would hazard their popular
