Mons VATTEMARE. We have received sever
al Canadian publications from this distinguished
French philanthropist assuring us that he has
been cordially received in every part Of Canada
he has yet visited. The Provincial Journals
are quite in raptures with both Mr. Vattemare
and M. Alexandra, his counterfeit presenment.
The Governor General ''Sydenham," has ex-
pressed his appreciation of the international sys-
tenn of exchanges, and admiration at the zeal
which the author manifests for its completion.
A complete set of the legislative enactmentsa and
public records of the Province, has been placed
Mr.. Vattemare's charge, for exchange with
the Government of France. The Bishop of
Montreal and Sir James Stuart, and great
number of other honorable gentlemen, have en-
gagged in the furtherance of the project-at all Of
which we are very much rejoiced.

PERMANENT PROSPECTIVE PRE-EMPTIoN SYSTEM.
The Senate to-day resumed the consideration of the
bill for establishing permanent prospective preemp
ton system.
The question pending being the substitute for
the whole bill, offered by Mr.. Prentss.
Mr. ANDERSON, of Tenn, addressed the Senate
at length in opposition to the substitute, and in favor
of the original measure.
Mr.. MANGUM expressed wish to speak on the
subject but owing to indisposition, desired that it
might be passed over informally for the present.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN submitted the following re-
-~iaa.,s, which he wished have printed, and
nounced his intention of moving the adoption of them
at proper time
Resolped, That the bill be recommitted to the com
mittee that reported it, with instructions to report
amendments thereto, to the following effect
lst. To distribute the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands among the several States ofthe Union, in

Mr. LINN gave notice that when the considera-
ton of these resolutions came up, he would move to
amend, by proposition to devote the whole proceeds
OF the sales of the public lands to strengthen

proposition, and that of the Senator from Ken
lucky, would be voted down; but he was determined
to append such to every scheme for distrbu
