CONGRESS-.

In the House, Tuesday, Mr.. YOUNG moved a
reconsideration of the vote by which the Senate
amendment, changing the ratio, had been re-
when 1919 members answered to their names,
and the doors were closed.
On the motion of Mr. FILLMORE further pro-
ceedings in the call were suspended, and the
motion to reconsider was, for the time, laid over.
The next Senate amendment to be consider
ed was that allowing representative for each
fraction exceeding moiety of the ratio After
few remarks from Mr.. Thompson, who argued
that representative for any number below
10000 would be unconstitutional the motion for
reconsideration was put, when LOG voted in the
affirmative and 1903 in the negative.
The question again recurring on the second
amendment of the Senate, Mr.. Thompson again
urged his constitutional objection to the reten-
ton of the word moiety with the ratio insisted
on by the House, and moved that no less num-
Der than $1,000 should be entitled to a repre-
sentative.
After some remarks from Mr.. MCCLELLAN and
Mr. MORGAN, the latter moved the previous
question-but withdrew it at the request of Mr..
Adams. After some further debate, the amend
ment of Mr.. Thompson was rejected The
Senate amendment was then negatived by
vote of Sc to Isl.
To the ratio fixed for each State Mr.. ATHER-
TON offered an amendment providing that the
members should be elected in conformity with
the laws of each State. The amendment was
decided to be out of order.
Mr.. ATHERroN appealed, and a motion made
to lay the appeal on the table was carried by
vote of 1875 to go
The apportionment was disposed OF by dis
agreeing to all the Senate amendments
The resolution for terminating, at O'Clock
Wednesday, all debate on the bill extending the
Compromise act to the first of August next, was
carried by vote of liz to 96.
The House then went into Committee OF the
Whole on the state of the Union, Mr.. Mcken-
nan in the chair, and took up that bill.
Mr. GILMER who was entitled to the floor,
opened the debate-the subject OF discussion be-
ing the amendment suspending the Distribution
act after the first of August. He was followed
by Mr. Johnson, of Maryland.
In the Senate Mr. CONRAD submitted the fol-
lowing resolution which lies over, viz:
Resolped, That the President of the United States
be requested to communicate to the Senate, far
he may deem it compatible with the public interests,
what measures if any, have been taken to obtain the
recognition by the Mexican Government of such
claims of American citizens as were laid before the

HIGH HANDED OUTRAGE-ANOTHER IN
suit

We conceive it to be our duty to take up with
earnestness every act of injustice rendered to Amer
can citizens, and therefore give to the public the
following information relative to gross violation
of property as ever took place under any government
While the Grenadian schooner Henrietta was on Ter
way from Providence to Knsgton last October loaded
mostly with American property, she was seized by
the Carthagena squadron under Commodore Rafael
Tons off Carthagena, that place was beseiged by
the other party. The cause assigned for this deten-
ton was, that the port whence she was despatched
was not in allegiance with the Government, although
the vessel only poor merchant schooner carrying
on her usual trade between the coast and Jamaica.
This pretext for the act of violation, and
very ptiable of making prize, the proceeds
of which of course to be distributed to the cap
turing squadron
When the Henrietta arrived, the squadron was
afraid to leave her under the protection of the walls
of the bockaded city during the night they order
ed her away, placing officer and 30 men on board
gale dispersed the squadron on the next day, and
the Henrietta parted company and being boarded by
boat from Sayanla, carried there and the car
20 disposed of by that government In the meantime,
the Judge at Carhagena declared that the Henrietta
was not good prize, and therefore the government
that detained her is now responsible for the loss OF
cargo.
The affair is as simple as possible but notwhstandl
ing the proper indemnfcation has not yet been made,
and although the Consul made the necessary requsi-
ton since the l4th October not even answer has
yet been obtained Had the affair been British one,
perhaps better attention would have been dis
played; but we, poor Americans, are sentenced IN
this country to be treated upon a very different
footing.
Ought this to be- Ought not something to be done
Immediately in this case' We trust steps will be
taken to teach the Carthagenians that America is not
to be insulted with impunity.

CREW SC.

number of persons visited this ship yesterday from
curiosity and to welcome friends on board Nearly
the whole of her crew have been already discharged,
their time having long since run out, and all were
impatient, of course, to get on shore 1t was an
amusing scene for iandsman to see all hands get
ting out their bags and baggage, and scampering off
as fast as boats could take them.
The great Chief Of Vendovi, who died on Saturday
morning, was taken over to the hospital previous to
his death, for medical attendance. On approaching
the hospital he expressed his wondermen the great
size of the building and imagined it the house of the
Great Spirit, who was waiting for him.
Captain Wilkes left on Saturday for Washington

The latest information in relation to the health
of Mr.. Southland, is not so favorable as might
have been anticipated by the accounts first re-
ceved. The first indications were favorable,
and it was thought that his speedy GONZALES
cence might be regarded as certain. We regret
to state that the letters last received contain intor
nation calculated to damp the hopes first formed,
that he would be substantially benefited by re-
taxation and change of climate.

THE CAUSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION

We think the United States Gazette asserted,
not long SINCE that there were not ten respectable
TYLER men in Philadelphia. What say you,
Mr. Chandler, to the following call, on the part
of committee, for 4th of July dinner by the
friends of the President and to the respectabl
lily of the names?
Let the friends of the country everywhere
collect together on the day of independence.
Let them ASSEMBLE, and throw out the old
Republican banner. We have thought-we
believe majority of the People are with u.s.
How can it be otherwise? When was there
time that the Republican flag did not call to-
gether the army Of the People? To arms,

THE GAG AGAIN.

The one hourrule was re-established, on Mon
day, in the House of Representatives. The
propriety and policy of this rule it is needless,
at this late day, to discuss. All that the zeal Of
its friends could advance in its favor, and all
that the ingenuity of its enemies could find to
urge against it, have been SO often reiterated
and copied, that the arguments, pro and con,
must be familiar to every one. We are sur
prised, however, by the fact, that the resolution
for its re-establishment should have slumbered
till so late period of the session. If the exls-
tence of the rule be so necessary as is asserted,
and its influence so powerful in expeditng le-
gslation, it is singular that the admirers of short
speeches and energetic action should have suf-
fered six months to slip away before they ap-
piled this stopper to the cacoethes loquendi.-
They certainly had the power to do at an ear
lier period of the session, what they did Mon
day. The majority which resuscitated the rule
two days since might have done the same, we
presume, at least two months ago. They might
certainly have been induced, by a generous feel
ing, to defer so far to the prejudices OF the OPP
ponents of the rule as to postpone It's adoption
for two or three months. But when they do
not propose their favorite plan for fastening le-
gislation, till the session is near closing, and
then force it into operation at the commence
ment of the debate on the most important bill
reported for consideration, it can hardly be
thought that they were actuated by feeling OF
generosity. There is a shadow Of caucus ma
nauempnt in the whole procedure What is
the mystery

TREMBLE, DEMAGOGUES.

The following call for a 4th Of July dinner is
taken from the Public Ledger. The call for
the meeting imbodies the spirit of the excellent
and patriotic paper in which it appears. Such
evidences of a determination to rally in support
of our institutions, and to condemn the destruc-
tive demagogues, on such day, is cheering to
the hearts of those who love their country

pie to obtain money for distribution among the States
tariff could easily be adjusted such would be sa-
tisactory both the manufacturer and to the con-

because they do not wish the tariff question settled
but are DESTROYS of reserving it for in the Pres-
