The Too Millions Appropriation Bil-Aboffio's-
=. ism-- Comfrmatioms- Engli& Mediation W oST
Merican Afauy-Falss RSn,os5
The bill appropriatng two millions for the pur
pose OF carrying out the Presidents views for ad
justing our difficulties with Mexico. passed the
House last night by vote Of 81 TO 81. There
was an amendment conditioning against the ex-
istence of slavery in any territory acquired by the
United States in settlement Of our claims against
Mexico-a clanse which is precisely ror ct preteea
nihif-abolition I" sound and fury signfyng no
thing" and which will prove totally imperative
for any good or evil purpose, l. was. besides, TO-
tally out of place. When bill is introduced by
the chairman of the committee on territories, for
the purpose of establishing territorial jursdic-
ton over California, it will be time enough to in
corporate a clause prohibiting slavery. twas
the merest absurdty to cucumber the appropria-
ton with such clause.
Both houses adjourned earlier than any ono
expected. The House adjourned about half-past
ten, and the Senate about an hour later The
latter branch Of Congress spent a portion OF the
evening in Executive session. They made ssve-
raj confrmations, among which were those OF
Mr.. Bouck and Mr.. Gllett The latter was con-
firmed by a majority of three. The House will
convene tomorrow morning at O'Clock.
So oppressive day and night as yesterday ana
last night have not felt this summer. To-dayw
little better.

English mediation in the matter of the Mexican
war. England has not offered mediation TO our
government, nor 10 she likely to do So Atsh

our government, to preremptory reject any such
proffered mediation coming from England or any
other European power.
