axn nst him, thai bad appeared n the Sl"De, GOV
ing his speech by saytag that rho remaihs o. 'ne
Senator from Alabama "false, onlusiia co"
ardly." Mr King rose and SAID he had o"'hing TO
reply, sat down Hnh Immediately wrote note,
walked around to Senator Linn of NO., and beck
onfd him out Of the Senate chamber. The Senate
Adjourned shortly Afterwards, when Mr. L'nn put
paper nio tho hands Of Mr.. Clay, who looked at it
AID handed IL to Sir Archer, the new Senator from
Virginia. The Language and manners o! Mr. King
were most provoking and insulting.
In addition to ths, we learn that King whs Riler
wards arrested by The Marshal Of thr District, for
sending challenge to the Hon. Henry Clay, and
is held 10 keep the peace in So'tds OF SOU
by Mr Buchanan.
When the Senate adjournod, Mr.. Wright had
tho foor Mr. Huntington OF Conn. Is said TO have
made able speech the subject, denying that
the resolution the last Senate made any contract
binding this SehAte or that IL could hind this in the
selection OF its officers; AMI h. also stated, what Is
worth noting, that party in CHogr'Ss heretofore,
kg5tstng il ,cas 10 be succeeded by 0sOAsr party,
had thus attempted 10 impose vpon IL an obnoxious
printer.
The President aud heads of Departments hvge
be TOO much occupied IN AXE any nominations
TO the Senate or to consider ofthem. Our Foreign
Relations are engrossing matter OF attention.
The Extra session must also be matter OF grave
delberaton.
Wo rejoice to learn also, that the A fieans of The
Amisthd have been set free by the decision Of the
United Suites Supreme Court. All the Judges.

this cause IN all respects, except that part ordering
the negroes TO be delivered ~ the President to be
transported, RnI reversing ~ part, and nnsndrs
the this said Circuit Court, with directions
Ia dismiss the said negroes from the custody Of hs

and go there quit without day.
The Africans are, ,herforr, flee men. This de-
eision, being that oil the highest tribunal in the land
Is 6nal 1t is expected they will return to their
native country, and il is to be hoped that the rdu
cation they have received at Now IiaveE, will be
Tho means Of beue6ing and cnIightening their
countrymen.
