A report from the State Department was ieceiv

Tuesday, July g.
After the reading of the journal this morning, Mr.
Giimer, of Virginia. rose and addressed the House,
on the subject Of Virginia Claims, and in reply to
Mr. Hall, Of Vermont, the latter gentleman having
withdrawn his motion for the previous question TO
allow Mr. Gmer to reply to him. HIS speech was
very feeble thing He attempted to explain away
the plain and simple statement of facts which Mr.
Hall had made, in regard to his connection with
the Virginia Claims. But, in his explanation, he
virtually confessed all the charges which MIR Hall
made against lin. His manner and tone against
his antagonist very much changed from what they
were represented to have been when he first made
his attack. Ills language towards Vermont, and
her Representative, was pery respectful. To use
a somewhat hackneyed phraze, he evidently was
aboring under the impression, that, in his unpro
voked attack upon Mr. Hall and the State he repre-
seuts, s'he had ,oakcd up the ,orong passenger. =
When he had concluded his remarks, he renewed
the motion for the previous question on Mr. Halls
amendment,-whichm motion was sustained and Inc
anne ndment OF MIR Hall was adopted

mittee of Ways and Means, Mr. Saltonstall's Bill
from the Committee Of Manufactures, and the pro
posed amendments, all came under consideration.

said.
MIR Appleton, of Boston then spoke in favor o
Protection. Mr. A. was followed by MIR Saunders
of N. c., who made violent FREQ trade speech
which satisfied all who listened TO him, that h'
was utterly ignorant the subject Of which hi
was speaking however wise he may BIO on Loco
focoism in general.
He was folIowedb by Mr. McKeon, who made ar
