FIRST SESSION.
WEDNESDAY,, Dec. 10, I843

WEDNESDAY,, Dec. -, IS43.
Prayers were offered by the Rev. Mr. Tus ON
The Journal was then read.
Mr. bREESE, In rising to propose that the usua'
tribute OF respect be paid 10 the memory Of the late
Senator McRoBERrs, alluded TO the melancholy dut,
which fell TO the OF of MIR Benton on Yesterday and
begged to express, in common with all, his grief al
The loss The country sustained by the lamented death
oil Doctor LINN Illinois, too, he sad had been af-
cted In having torn from her by the hand of death
a cherished son. One who unaded BY wealth or in
terest won his way to his high and honorable posi-
ton by natural talent and invincble integrity Sena-
tor McRoBERTs was on his way homeward after the
last Congress, and had reached Cincinnati where he
was compelled by illness to halt until, after few
days struggle, he resigned his spirit to Him who
gave It," In that city he died, on the 9th day of
March last, and now rests in the magnif ent valley
that gave him birth The honorable gentleman then
entered into brief but interesting detail of the many
posts OF honor and trust to which his lamented friend
voice OF his fellow citizens. To many Judge Nero
BERrs appeared unsocia, but pressed with pain and
surrounded by all the ills of an impaired constitution,
this seeming unsociabity was only the effect of his
suferngs To those who knew him well, he was all
that was social all that kind all that benev-
olent--and as intrepid statesman he was best
known and approved by his consti uents by his firm
adherence to the maxim that "prnciple is superior to
mere policy"
The motion was then offered, and was seconded
by
Mr. ALLEN, who added his testimony to the pri-
yate worth and public integrity of the deceased but
in low tone as to be almost inaudible in the Re-
porter's gallery.
The motion passed, and the Senate adjourned

ted, lac should be told that the same number Of En-
glishInen and Frenchmen had suffered like fate.
The Undersigned would, in conclusion, most re
specially express the hope that upon further refec
lion upon the subject, the order in question may be
countermanded aud the many inconvenience which
will certainly flow from it be thus avoided. f'l
The undersigned renews 10 your Exceliency the as
surances OF his most distinguished consideration.

LEGATION OF rur UNITED STATES,
MExico, October 10, IS43.
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Penipoeptiary of he United States Of America
has the honor to acknowledge the receipt Of the note
of his Excellency Jose NJ. de Bocanegra Minister Of
Foreign Relations and Government, of Yesterdays
date, upon the subject Of the prohibition Of the retail
business to foreigners Although it may subject the
undersigned to the mputation of a f" want of rtel-
gence aud correct judgment he is constrained to say
that he cannot perceive the slightest bearing upon the
subject of discussion Of he latter portion of the third
article Of the treaty between Mexico and the Uni ed
States, 10 which hs exceency Mr.. Bocsnegra refers
Does his cxceency mean TO say that the treaty with
the Uricd States Is IN particular different from
any Of the treaties Of Mexicoi If SO, it would have
saved time and trouble, instead Of drawing out that
treaty so claborately as has been done, TO have
complished the object in two lines thus
The same rights and privileges guaranteed TO
/" the two nations respectively, as are enjoy by the
" most favored natons.n
The undersigned does not so regard it, Various
privileges arc specifically enumerated and defined and
the clause quoted by your excellency was only in
tended by ITS general terms to include any others
which had not been thus specifically stated, and not
10y any means as qualifying or limiting concessions
thus distinctly made.
Where the language is as explicit as that used in
the first section of the third article of the treaty,
there can be no occasion to go beyond If, and TO IN
qure what guarantees and concessions secured 10
other nations If IT were otherwise and a case were
to occur not thus clearly provided for it might then
DC necessary TO inquire whether tho right disputed
had been conceded to any other nation and il so,
then TO claim the same under the paragraph securing
equal privileges with the most favored nations
| Nor does the undersigned find any mitigation Of
tho act, nor any alienation of the suIorngs Of his
counirymcn from its effects, from the consideration
that all other foreigners suffer equally no more than
if, in reply to complaint, that fifty of his counymen
had been in violation Of all law and Justice decapta,

There is something fearful as well as
mysterious in the thought that while the
human race en- ovs perpetual increase
OF the qualities that pertain to youth - OF
vigor, activity, ambitious impulse, capa-
city to learn and TO en- = the indlvi-
dua's Of whom it is composed are made
too keenly sensible, MS they advance be-
yond the sunny realm of boy hood, IL at
every passing year takes something from
their vitality Of body and Of mind Most
obviously is this ftl, in regard to the flight
Of time. Before we arrive at the sum-
nit point between youth and age while
vet the future lies before us all in sun
shine, as a region teemng with fruits and
flowers to be galhered--our wish is 10
hurry on the tagging moments on hose
tide we shall be borne TO that bright land
Of hope and promise bu, no sooner have
we reached the taLle-land of manhood
and begun to feel that our course is
henceiorth downward, than a still in
creasng consciousness is forced upon US
that the movement OF him who bears the
scy the aud hour glass is in truth OF teri
bic and accommodating rapidiiy.
Most kecnly do We feel this at the re-
.currence Of the general anniversaries -
especially Of those that mark the close
and opening Of the years. ], seems but
