The Senate is not in session to-day.
Z. In the 4Honae Mr.. Gushing offered the follow
ing olftions which was agreed TO-:
Resolged That the President OF the unIted
States be requested to communicate 70 the
House of Representatives, Gf in his Judgment
the same be compatible with the public lntsresl
the report of the Commissioners on the partof
the United States and the Mexican RePubilc;
also, particular statement OF the condition OF
claims preferred by citizens of the United States
opsthe Government Of the Mexican Republic,
forswhich the interposition OF the Government
of the United States has been invoked, andWhich
are not yet satisfied.
The Appnrtionment bill, with amendments
from the Senate, was communicated and laId on
the Speakers table.
The Speaker announced that the bill for the
adjustment of private claims IN LOUISIANA was
thespecial order for this day. -
z5s9The House proceeded to the execution OF the
order, and spent the day therein -.
r ] have just seen letters from commercial men
in New York to members of the House, giving
information as to the state and prospects ofithe
loan. They also state that the loan will not be
taken in. Europe, nor here; that strenuous efforts
are making to obtains a part of it in New York
and Boston; that the capitalists of Europe have
combined against US with view to force us to
assume the state debts that the state Of the
revenue and of business in New York is bad and
becoming worse; that tariff will afford no re-
lief; that goods are exporting from New York;
to get the. drawback, &c.
You will find in the lfadsonlan OF this morn
ing cardsfrom Mr. Profit, which asserts the
consistency of Mr.. Tyler's course on the dlstrl-
button subject, and shcws that in the Virginia
legislature, he held the doctrine, as now, that
! there should be 10 distribution if the tariff
should be raised above twenty per cent.
1t is very commonly asserted, to-day that the
President will veto the Extension bill and any
Revenue bill which provides for distribution
while it increases duties beyond the terms Of
the Compromise act
In that case, it is probable that no Revenue
bill will pass at this session; that is-that alter
July 1st, there will be no revenue at all;-tor
it is insisted that on the 30th of June, the acts
regulating the collection of duties will expire
| The Madisonian has backed out from the
promise of reply to Mr. Ewlng:s statement.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 13.
Mr. Adams, to-day, submitted resolution,
which was adopted, calling on the President ior
copies of the quintuple treaty, relative 10 the
suppression of the slave trade, together with
copies Of MIR. Cass's protest, and of his correspon-
dence on the subject. Mr. Adams views on this
subject will be brought out more at length when
he obtains the necessary information. lie has
already declared that Mr.. Cass's interference
with this subject was improper, and have rea,
son to think that the same opinion is entertained
in the Cabinet of Mr. Tyler.
This was the day, in course, for the lntroduc,
tion Of resolutions. Many were presented and
several of them relative to the organization OF the
House, its rules, &c.
A motion was made to enforce the Committee
of the Whole to take a vote on any question al
tlo.s Bt6ptstiaofr lalas Is fB p t9a
votes by yeas and nays in Committee of the
whole on amendments to the ffbill, after the
Committee have sufficiently discussed any a.
mendments. think it will yet be adopted, and
that twill be found useful in this particular case.
1t will be a very bad arrangement to go on in a
general debate onthe Tariff, till the majority of
the House decide to arrest the debate and take
the bill out of Committee. Discussion is neces-
sary on each particular item of the bill, and this
cannot be had without new system, by which
the Committee will be compelled to pass from
item to item.
The "one hour rule" was adopted by large
majority, to be applicable TO all debates in the
House and the Committee.
sS7ssThe Apportionment, Bill, returned from the
Senate with amendments, was taken up. The
question was on concurring with the Senate in
their amendments.
Mr.. Everett moved the previous question, and
insisted upon it, contrary to the earnest request
of Mr.. Adams The House, however, refused
to second the previous question. Mr.. Adams
thanked the House for refusing to apply the gag
to question which was the most important that
had ever arisen between the two Houses. He
went on to argue in favor Of full representation
and to show.that the Senate had no right to in
terfere in matter relating entirely to The organi-
zation of the House. He was for the ratio pro-
posed by Mr.. Bcrrcn in the Senate, $4,000, and
for the fractional representation. After some
debate, the Senate amendment, changing the ra-
ito from 50179 to 70,6s0, was non-concurred in,
95 to 112
The Senate, to-day, was chiefly occupied in
the consideration Of private claims. The bill for
the settlement of the accounts of Silas Deane,
after a long debate, was ordered to be engrossed.
The Senate spsnt some time in Executive ses-
sion, engaged chiefly on the omination of Mr..
Caldwell, of New Orleans, as the Snperinten-
dent Of the Mint at that place. The nomination
was rejected without division.
WASHINGTON, JUNE IA.
The apportionment bill was again considered
in the House to-day. After the adjournment of
yesterday, the Wing members Of the. House had
