WASHINGTON. April L

WASHINGTON, April 10.
In the Senate, Mr.. ]. NJ. Clayton offer
ed resolution, which was adopted, re-
questlng the Secretary of State to inform
the Senate whether any claims for spolia-
tions by France prior to 1900, had been
presented, and if so, whether they had been
allowed.
Mr.. c. also gave notice that he would
call up the bill to provide for the settlement
of claims for French spolations prior to
1900, as soon as the Oregon debate should
be terminated.
Mr.. Jarnagin offered resolution call
ing upon the President for statement of
the monies paid out of the secret service
fund on the Presidents certificates from
the 4th oc March, 1925, to the present time,
and the purposes to which it was applied.
Laid over.
Mr.. Webster offered ii resolution, which
was adopted, calling upon the President
for copies of the correspondence between
the United States and Great Britain during
the years l84l, '42 and '43, relative to the
right of visit or search. ..0..,.
AT an early hour the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of the special order of
the day.
Mr.. Bagby, who was entitled to the floor,
yielded it to
MIR. Fairfield, who spoke at length in re-
ference to the speech of Mr.. Webster on
the settlement Of the N. E. boundary, a
settlement which he contended, though ac-
quicesced in by Maine, she was never sa-
tsfed with.
Mr.. Webster briefly rejoined, ,and point
ed out the benefits conferred upon Maine
by the treaty, and maintained that it was
as good treaty as she had any right to
expect. qes.
MIR. Bagby then took the floor, and spoke
at length in favor of our title to the whole
OF Oregon, and expressed his determine.
ttion to vote for the notice without regard
to consequences. He minated that he
would sanction any settlement which
the President should think proper TO

The letter writers from Washington

it upon the Senate. This insinuation

The responsibility is his own, his
own alone; and he both must and
will bear and discharge its honorable
burthen, with a 6rmness and manli-
ness worthy Of the character credited
to him BY the generous party which
raised him to his nobly arduous sta
tion. He will either accept the offer,
if it is made, honestly and bravely,
on his own hook, without playing off
the mock farce of consulting a Senate
of known "foregone conclusions" on
the subject; or else, bravely and
honestly he will reject tin either
case committing his reasons for his
course frankly to the judgment of his
country. One half ofthe country then
at least will approve the substance of

The Notice.


The struggle on the Oregon ques-
ton appears to have settled down in.
to two parties. Those for 49 de"
grees and those for 81 40. The most
strenuous advocates for peace are fully
committed to 40, as the "proper boun-
dary." Grave Senators, intelligent
merchants, and twaddling newspa.
pers all contend for 40, as if they
were certain that England will take
40. Up to this moment nothing
whatever has transpired to show that
England will recede from the line OF
the Columbia river. When it be-
comes developed that she will in no
event take less than the line Of the
river will the 490 men be nearer peace
than the $40 40' 'ites.-N Y. Nezus.
