Sketch Of the ciosing IN the House to-day
The Doctor on the qmi rire
Mr. Westcott, of Florida, delivered himself to-day
in the Senate, of portion Of his argument in favor
OF the steamers of Mr. Fairfield, and against
the inevitable war" He was compelled to give
way, in the midst of his speech, from physical ina
bihty to proceed to the close, Mr.. Yulle. his col
league considerably stepping to his relief, in
motion to lay the bill informally aside 1t il very
easy to see through the gust Of Mr. Westco,ts aIguI
peep-stone The steamers, 1T built, will cruise
chiefly of the coast of Florida, and the Floridians
will have the benefit Of furnishing supplies, and such
like. Mr.. Westcott is perfectly justlRable in dong
the best he for his constiuents-but the case is
too plain to be disguised by beating around the bush
in this way. All his great national arguments tor
the steamers resolve themselves into the greater
consideration of the trade they will bring to the
| Flondians.
Mr. Dix got through with the bill from the House
for the limiting the compensation to certain officers
/
serves "mert mark" for this. The bill is a good
one, and will save Uncle Sam good deal OF money.
Ii was rather an important day IN the House. Re-
solutions passed to stop the debate on the Oregon
notice on Monday next, at three o'clock. Several
hours will then be passed in voting down amend
and cross-motions Of various kinds; interview
ing to the passage OF the resolution The only aP-
prehension with the ultra 81 40 men is that Mr. Hill
liard's amendment. conferrng discretionary power
upon the President may be affixed to the protocol.
Our own opinion, however, is, that the resolution
.Gn.e,
dltlsna resolution for the rendition Of the notice.
The House would be somewhat more cautious, per.
haps bat for the certainty that the Senate will APP
pend discretionary or condihonal addendum TO the
resolution. We expect great day In the resump-
ton OF the subject in the Senate on Tuesday next
The House will have washed its hands OF the busi-
ness and there will be large accession to the lob
bies Of the Senate from the popular branch, to hear
the anticipated grand blowout of Senator Allen,
and the exposition OF the case, also anticipated
from Mr. Calhoun. And now we venture to pledge
you that ne will not finch from ms late positions,
but will maintain, as being strengthened from the
Hibernia news, and the developm nts here az WASH
Ineton, since the postponement Of the question.
The most important OF these developments Is the
chairman on foreign affalrs-that negotiations upon
the disputed Northwest territory were actually re-
sumed. 1t was not clear outand-out admission OF
the fact-but any with any turn for dlplomatics,
understood it as clear as nioonshine. The Pres.
dent will send In, within day or two the latest d.
plomatic international correspondence upon the
subject, in answer to the request OF both houses
The substance OF this correspondence will be an in
terchange Of ettersas to the expedency OF resuming
negotiations with copies perhaps, OF dispatches to
the President from Mr. McLane, and to Mr.. Paken-
ham from the Court OF st. James; the whole wind
ing up with letter between the parties, concurrng
in the proprlety OF new trial. ana the deslgnation
