FOREIGN RELATIONS.

FOREIGN RELATIONS,
Mr.. Buchanan. chirman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, asked TO be dis
charged from the consideration OF Reso-
luton calling on the Executive for a cor
respondence in relation to the North East
ern Boundary. The reason for this re-
guest was, first, the present state of the
negotiations with this. Government and
England. The vexcd question was in q
progress Of settlement, and the publication
would DO evil or at least would do no good.
1t would be i'll timed at least. If Great
Britain desired in good faith TO settle the
controversy between the two Governments
nov was the time.
Mr.. Buchanan having expressed%hc OPP
Mon Of the Committee on Foreign Rela
tons, arose to express his own in refer
ence to matters al issue between this coun-
try and Great Britain. The rumors which
had been afloat in reference to an existing
correspondence in regard 10 the Caroline,
between the Secretary Of State and the
British Minister, were all false and not to
be credited in the least. Mr.. Buchanan
alluded to the rumor published in the New
York York Herald, which had created
some inquiry here. Mr.. B. said in con-
clusion, that there was no cause or proba-
bility Of a war with England.
Mr.. Clay Of Ky. Ga member Of the COM
mttee on Foreign Relaions) said few
words also in reference TO the question ct
issue between the United States and Great
Britain. The most difficult question was
the North Eastern Boundary, and that was
ia train Of settlement by survey and ar
btration' In regard TO the case Of the
Caroline, n satisfactory answer had not
yet been received. In the case of Mcleod
he thought the Secretary OF State should
nave written 10 the Governor Of New York
requesting a fair trial Of Mcleod, not that
he doubted that New York would do JUS
tice, but that it might be importantto express
an opinion in regard to the prisoner. In
reference to captures on the coast Of Afri-
CO, he thought Great Britain would ex-
| plain that matter satisfactorily. This
country never would recognize the right Of
search, and it was the great cause OF the
late war.
Mr. Clay also begged leave to say, lath-
| er in reference to what had been said out
| of doors than in the Senate, or in the other
! Hall of Congress, that there was no proba-
| bIlty of an immediate war with England
none of any messenger 10 England,
| except the accredited minister placed there
by the Generel Government. Mr.. Clay
repeated this very emphatically There
was no immediate cause Of a war with
England in reference to any of the ques
/ tons at issue between this country anC
England, unless unfortunately they should
grow out OF collateral issues between ques-
tons at issue in the two countries.
The opinions Of Mr.. Clay and Mr. Blu
chanan excited some interest and are re-
| garded as important.

CONGRESS.

We have not received a journal Of tho
proceedings Of Congress in full up to the
time Of adjournment, but We are enabled
to state that little or nothing has been &C
complshed of general interest, during tho
past session. Not a single bill in any way
relating TO this Territory has passed, and
our petitions for road and harbor appro-
priatone, have been gone by UNDECIDED. =
The commerce Of our Lake is still LEFT TO
the mercy Of the wind and waves, notwilh-
standing the numerous petitions which have
been presented TO Congress in our behalf,
urging the justice and pressng,necessity
Of our demands. We see it stated that not
one Twentieth Of the bills reported by the
several committees, were definitely acted
upon; and at least three fourths Of the i'm
portant business before Congress was left
unfinished. How many of the members
on their return TO their constituents, will
be greeted with public dinners in consider
alton Of their public services remains to be
seen. In our opinion the people should
decree their retirement, 10 private life for
the remainder O? their lives.
The Inauguration was attended on the
4th inst. by large concourse of people,
assembled from different portions of the
Union, numbering some $4,000, if the es-
Inmates which we have seen are correct.
Among the political news Of the day, it is
currently reported al Washington thatVice
President Johnson, will give his cordial
support TO the administration Of General
Harrison.

Vegetable Cofee.-A new species Of
plant has recently been introduced at De-
troll, Michigan, which bears a berry pos
sessing qualities very much resembling
Java coffee. 1t is said that its taste is SO
nearly like the Java coffee, that it can
hardly be detected by the best jugdes. 1t
is represented as being an extremely pro-
ductivc plant, easily cultivated; and small
piece of ground will produce ample supply
for family. The expense Of producing
it according 10 the estimate Of an indlvidu-
al in Detroit, who raised nquantity the last
season, is less than t'co cents per pound.
IL the value of this vegetable plant be
not overatcd in the Detroit papers. it will
prove a mos, important acquisition 10 the
whole country. Especially TO the people
Of the west, who in these times feel the
necessity of practcing economy, will the
introduction OF this new article Of culture
be a great consideration. 1t is generally
allowed by merchants and others competent
ofjudging, that an amount Of coffee at least
five times greater, is consumed in western
states in proportion to the population, than
in New York or New England. The a
mount of coffee imported into the United
States during the last eight years, accord
ing TO the official report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury. has beeh about eight mill
lions of dollars Annually. What proper
ton of this amount is paid by the western
states it is impossible to determine but
that larger share is contributed by far
than is commonly supposed there can be
no doubt Whatever tends to lessen the
aggregate Of our importatons, renders US
less dependent, ard elevates our pecuniary
condition as people.

To those who are anxious for the continuance o!
peace between this country and Great Britain, the
extract from the Senate proceedings of March LIST,
will possess unusual and agreeable interest. Ii
shows what e have always thought, that whatever
excilements and desires for may exist among IN
dividuas OF communities, and however they, by cry
ing war, war may argue themselves. into the belief
that would come, yet that understanding existed
between the heads Of government, the source from
whence war must come if it comes at all, that would
ensure, eventually, adjustment of difficulties, sa
sfactory to all parties. We think The time has gone
or is rapidly going by, when civilized and cnlghten-
ed nations will rush into to settle Differences
frequently mere differences of opinion existing be-
tween them. There is evidently a RICH! and wrong
in every question: and truly, in The TWO mos; engh
cned nations of the globe, we'll understood IS are
national relations and the science OF politics, sagdry
enough ought 10 exist 10 discover the right. No ho'
norable nation ought to ask more than IS right ana

of a new and as the harpinger Of uninterrupted
