Locoe, Mr. Morrow, OF Ohio moved that the
Message should be entered at large upon the
Journal and that IL o'clock tomorroS should be
assigned for It's consideration by the house, ana
this motion was at once adopted but 1t is pro-
bable that the subject will be again postponed
till Saturday. to give time for further refec''oh
on the part of members, before entering upon
so exciting a topic. 1t is anticipated that the
debate will be short and emperate-ccriaIhiy
no advantage can be hoped Tor from Vioeh de-
denuncations. learn from high authority thai
Messrs Cri,tenden and Badger will resign their
seats in the Cabinet tomorrow, and that Messrs
Ewing and Bell will in all probability do the
like, either to morrow or at an early day there
alter.-These designations will have the un-
plea effect, among others, of delaying the
session Of co. gress, till the vacancies can be
supplied by the President and Senate. 1t Is
said that the Veto message was not so much as
LAID before the Cabinet, and that two OF the
members of that Council were endeayoring to
procure copies OF it in the House this morning.
Though there is no external dsp|y OF anger-,
yet, of course the deepest discentcnt prevails
throughout the ranks OF the party whose hopes
have been thus frustrated great many
names ARE flying about as appertainlng to those
who are to fill the vacant posts, among which
he most prominent are those OF Mr.. Cushihg'
Judge Upshur, Va, Mr. Mclean, OF Delaware
and r. H. Wilde, of Ga But we shall no
have to wait long for satisfaction upon these
points. 1t is now thought that Mr. Webster and
Mr. Granger will retain their seats for the pre-
sent.
The Secretary of the President announced
his approval of bills, making appropriations for
The Post Office department, for the repairs OF
Notifications, for the removal of Greenough's
statue, and for extending the ranking privi-
ege to Mrs Harrison.

Committee of the W hole, (Alr. Mason of Ohio
in the chair.) the question being upon CONCUR
ring with the amendments of the senaie--the
first Of which strikes out the appro priation for
the Neapolltan legation.
Mr. McKeon was in favor of concurrence, OIL
the grcuud that Naples had no Minister here
anu lndt tIlIS was suitable Cdst III ICtitliIi-
mert. Messrs Adams, Gushing, and Wise
took the opposite side, contendng that the state
OF our commercial relations with Naples, made
it highly desirable that we should be represented
at that court the more so because it had sent
no Minister to us, and that this branch OF the
public service, being in no way liable TO abus e

50 supported the mission to Naples, but directed
his remarks chiefly to Mr.. Wise. They invol-
we'd some charges of inconsistency, but seemed

parties Immediately concerned The conse-
quence of this was, that some minutes alter MI

going on, Mr. Wise was observed to gtrIke AT

parried and instantly returned, and while thi
lively operation was going on with increasing

each other, clambering upon the seats and Ia

until the timely interference of Mr. Lewis, Of
Ala, whose gigantic bulk formed an impene
tratle wall between the opposing forces, put
