 WASHINGTON, July 8.
 Long days and long sessions, dog-days and COngressmen in tho eighth month of the session, with as many things to make m ad- 1o Nnv SrVNo inc and not one attraction to remain here be- yond an anxiety to see an end of the vexed questions, which are before Congress, and have, most unfortunately for the country, created gulf between Congress and the Executive. The signs of the times for the future are no more and no less than they were week since. In all probability the bill from the Ways and Means, will pass, with the land provisio so incorporated as 10 secure Distribution, and in all probability the President will veto the bill. should it thus pass the two houses of Congress. The Wings are stronger in the Senate than they have been since the appearance of MT. Day ton, and any Whig measure which has the sanction of one branch of Congress, can now receive the sanction of the other.
 The two Houses of Congress had long sessions yesterday, and much was brought to pass. Eight speeches were made upon the Revenue Bill, of all sorts and varieties of opinion and merit. The session continu- ed from ten until past six o'clock.
 The rumored negotiations between the Government and the British special ambas- sador, are but rumors, l need not say again, which had been sent forth every other day for three weeks, without shadow of truth to sustain them. Everything is going on well, but there are no conclusions as yet.

 HENRY CLAY made e capital speech at Lex ington, Ky, on the 9th of June, at barbecue given him. It would do our heart good to give it to our readers entire, but as we "have not the room" we give the sequel merely:
 Fcllow-citizens of all parties The pre- sent situation of our country is one of unex- anplcG distress and difficulty; but there is no occasion for despondency. A kind and bountiful Providence has never deserted us punished us ne perhaps has for our neg lect of his blessings and our misdeeds. We have a varied and fertile soil, genial cli- mate and free institutions. Our whole land is covered in profusion with the means of subsistence and the comforts of life.
 Our gallant ship. it is unfortunately true, lies helpless, tossed on tempcstuous sea, amidst the conflicting pillows of fcontending parties, without rudder and without faith ful pilot. But that ship is our country, em- bodying all our past glory. all our future hopes. Its crew is our whole people, by whatever political denomination they are known. If she goes down we all go down together. Let Us remember the dying words of the gallant and laIlehted Lawrcnce.- "Don't give up the ship" The glorious banner of our country, with its Stars and Stripes, still proudly floats at the mast head. With stout hearts and strong arms we can surmount all difficulties. Let us all-all- rally around that banner, and firmly resolve to pcrpetuate our liberties and regain our lost prosperity.
 Whigs! arouse from the ignoble supine- ness which encompasses you-awake from the lethargy in which you lie bound-cast from you that unworthy apathy which seems to make you indifferent to the fate of your country arouse, awake! shake of the dew-drops that glitter on your garments, and once more march to battle and 10 victo- ry. You have been disappointed, deceived, betrayed-shamefully deceived and betray- ed. But will you therefore also prove false and faithless to your country, or obey the impulse of a just and patriotic indignation! As for Capt Tyler, he is a mere snaP-a flash in the pan; pick your Whig fiints and dry your rifles again.
