:. WASHINGTON, March 5.
In The House message was received,
communication from the President the
Uuned States in compliance with a Reso-
olution calling for information in relation
10 the construction given by the British 10
the 10Th article of the Treaty of Wash
ton, respecting the escape of criminal
4 slaves, aud the refusal OF the British, Gov
ernneni to deliver them up: This COM
munication is precisely the same that was
SEM TO the Senate some week or TWO ago,
all The opinions, &c. connected with which
you have already given; as well indeed as
| The ground which Mr.. Levy, of Florida,
assumed in bis remarks, with the excep-
lion that Mr.. Levy alluded to the case OF
! the poor Scotchwoman,C Christian Gilmore,
charged with murder on the oath of con-
stable, andhas been promptly surrendered
by u.s., and since tried by the British
(, Couns and acquitted. mentioned to
you the opinion given by Lord Ashburton
10 Tsppan aud other of his kidney Of New
York, in relation to-; this very matter,
which Mr.. Leyey also dweltupon together
with The extraordinary assumption of Lord
PalmeIston, and which the Court of'the
British Provinces had Misunderstanding US
that what was murder in Florida might
uotbe SO considered in her Majesty's do
minions. The Insulting position taken by
the British Governmentiin relation to this
matter, is calculated most jusllysto excite
"a feeling of indignation in this country
strong enoughto form a serious obstacle in
lhe way Of friendly negotiation on the
matters in dispute between the two ma
.,ioris. The motion OF Mr.. Levy was to
prin, The document aud refer il to The Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, with ins,ruc.
,iuns TO investigate the whole matter, and
request The President to give notice to the
British Government Of our inlention,to an
null the article.
II was on this motion to print that Mr..
Giddings,lof Ohio, predica,edsone Of those
infamous Abolition speeches so; insulting
TO The feelings, of the South, and so dishon-
orableto him as an American Representa-
live. From such fellows as Tappau and
his coadjutors, better things were not 10 be
expected; but from man sent to represent
portion Of The American people, such re-
marks were mol TO be tolerated. Mr.. G..
was repeatedly called TO order, and the
document was read, when The Speaker de-
cided that Mr.. G. was out of order, and
could not discuss the subject Of Abolition.
The document was then ordered to be
printed.
The bill making appropriation for pen
sions was taken up aud was very properly
so amended that no officer should be enti-
tied 10 pension while 10 service, and then
the bill was finally passed.
slr. Adams made very strenuous effort
to gel up motion TO reconsider the vote
ON. lle rules, but the Speaker decided that
il vas not in order, unless the rules were
suspended for that purpose.
This question will be in order on Mon
day next.
The Committee on Reirenchment re-
ported resolutionlo reduce the pay of
pages and messensers-the first from 81
10 | 50 per day, and those receiving 9 SO to
z per day. On this subjectt there was quite
a debate, but it ended on laying The sub
lect on The table, and before the House ad-
iourued another Resolution was submitted
TO employ five additional folders at 81 per
day. So we 60
