The Iugersoll Committee Mr.. Scheme k, Chsirman)
are involved in series of of examinations growing
out Of the vexations experienced by the aforesaid
Ingersol Oh account Of the character of the testi
mony taken by them.
Mr.. Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro seems to be the
object of peculiar dislike the part OF Mr.. l. Al
the time of the debate in which Mr. Ashmun accused
Mr.. l. of having nsidously attempted TO approach
Mr.. Tyler with view of ipjuring Mr.. Webster,

this matter. The examinations before the Committee
have thus far convicted Mr.. Ingerso with having
himself been the who should have borne the
epithet which he applied 10 MIR a.
The scenes were highly exciting in the Commit
tee room. Mr. Tasis,ro told the Committee, before
he began. that he should hold Mr. Ingersol respon-
sibe for what he had said Of him both before TO day
and now also. Mr.. T. applied the word creature
10 Mr. |. and claimed that except for his position as
member of Congress, he was no wise Inferior TO
him either in education or respectablity and that
he would no, allow Mr.. l. TO impeach him. either
there or elsewhere with impunity. The Commit
tee took no part this portion OF the discussion

the witnesses. But his day is over. He cannot
even go TO Russia now, although MIR. Polk promised

traces! This it is supposed, was the reason OF his
zeal against Mr.. W ebsier.
The great question of adjournment, which has
become the question OF the day, remains in very

war with England they have done with Mexico

been done. far as the Executive is concerned
and the Wings wish to get home.
