WARRINGTON, Feb. zS lss3
roar report Of the doings in the Senate to-day
will show you what commotion vas endeavored
TO be created upon the subject OF that portion OF
the late Treaty which rehtes to the Slave Trade,
&c., by Benton and his jacket, Allen Sir Robert
Feel's late speech they seemed to think perfect
God-send TO them, and they made the most of it,
CARRYING with them tro ostes besides their own, as
you viii see, and this, too, after several hours
decema that split the very ears Of the ground
liz / have never seen an instance n which a
poor cause has been strengthened and helped to
rnultisudes of friends from the ranks of those once
it's enemies, by excessive opposition of unworthy
men, in the case Of this Treaty. The almost
daily haransues Of Benton and the senseess decla-
msrion of Allen have done infinitely 70 recon-
cile men here to the Treaty, who were before dis
satisfied with it, than any thing that has been said
by its friends in its behalf.
From come conversation which took place IN
the Senate to-day upon the occasion of Report
from the Corninittee of Commerce relative to
Warehousing system, it seemed quite evident that
there is no probability of any legislation at this
Tariff viii probably be made at this Session. Many
hope that the Bankrapt bill will receive the go-by,
but that is not probable. 1t is possible, however,
that passed, the President may exercise his pri
vlege of retaining it and not sign it for want of
time to deliberate upon it. 1t cannot now be act
ed on in time to allow him ten days before the 4th
Of March. have heard the belief expressed that
the President will pursue that course in case the
bill be sent him after this time; but much as that
course would benefit him among the friends OF the
Bankrupt law, have no good reason to suppose
that he will adoptit.
You will perceive that the Harbor bill was lost
in the House to-day by considerable majority.
The bill included an appropriation for the Hudson
River as well as for the lake harbors and the
Cumberland Read.
The loss Of this bill, and the miserable Juggling
by certain by which the appropriations for the
Ohio and Mississippi, aad the Southampton rivers,
were taken out of this bill, where they belonged,
in the Senate, and put into the Army bill, and thus
smusged through ahead Of this BILL has justly
created much i'll feeling. Many Of the Loco-focos,
and some Wings too am sorry to say, who were
interested in these river appropriations, avaied
themselves of the votes of those who were inter
ested in the Harbor bill, to pass their appropria-
lions, and then voted down those most important
measures The whele transaction has been dis
graceful and unpa;riotic.
Millions are expended most freely upon the
army and navy, 10 defend our citizens against ma
,onal foes, 7oho do not erist and against dangers
that may never come, but some men consider 1t
great sketch of generosity and msgnanimi,y to aP-
propriate a few hundred thousands TO protect the
lives of our citizens engaged in navigation, and the
immense internal commerce of the country, which
constitutes so much TO the support of the govern
ment aud the prosperity of the country.
Thsre is much conjecture here in regard TO the
selection of an Individual to go as minister or
commercial agent 10 China. tits evident thata
man Of no ordinary experience and abilities is
needed for that mission. Many suppose that Mr.
Gushing will be selected end it is thought that be

neatly fit him for Intercourse with the crooked
dealing and faithless John Chinaman. This is not,

they understand him and the Chinese so well.
