said that they, (the Locofocns,) "did not
mean that Gen. Scott should remain
Major General" Mr.. Carroll replied
that he supposed that "ihat was indeed
the intention in introducing this bill. Il
could, in fact. mean nothing else."
MIR. Holmes, Of s. c., in the course of
his speech, said that he did not profess to
be the advocate Of the Administration.
This is an important secession from the
ranks. He expressed a very decided
opinion that this Mexiran war is but the
first CLEAN Of still broader and mighiier
conaagratiou. He believed that Great
Britain would not quietly Ielinquish the
market which Mexico afforded for her
manufactures, and the hundred millions Of
English money which was invested in
lions which her capitalists held. !Tha,
England was quite as sensible as we of
the value of California. France, too, he
thought would interfere. He was for
meeting all these circumstances like men.
with union and confidence.
Mr.. Smith, Of Indiana, combatted these
views.
Finally, the debate ceased, and the
voting commenced. Among the amend
menis was one to appoint one new Major
General instead of two, and two Brisa-
dlers instead Of four. Another, tina, when
the war closes, the President shall reduce
the Generals to the existing number, by

pointed, exercising his discretion whether
to discharge those now appointed or the
old officers. This is the Locofoco
