The treasury note bill has passed, with
a provision for the payment of the notes
heretofore cancelled and fraplulen,Iv. re.
issued. In The discussion OF The subject
doubts were expressed whether the sum
would he adequate to the netssslies Of the
Government. The estimates Of The De.
parlments Of War and the Navy, for the
additional expenses, in consequence Of tie
war, up to July lS47, walRt@e6ty two
millions. The treasury notif bill is based
on that estimate, and il is sliefieved 10 be
inadequate 10 the efficient ctnduct Of the
war.
MIR. Mckay submitted tIasiEilie war
was TO continue, Congress must, at ihe,
next session, resort to direct taxaIion, as
the means Of of,supporlns th. credit ofaRe
Government. There is nG tirssi trssaison to5s6e-
lieve that the war is 10 .esliina7ef Ihi'
year, or NEXT year, aud lis eanliicl, though
expensive, is by no means Efficient, on the

castle Of San Juan d'UlIoa.
The general opinion is ,ha, il. can only
be taken by landing military force north
Of the castle. But there is "a gentleman
here, from Illinois, who has. 6ubmlled a
plan to lie committee on Naval Affairs,
for taking the castle with. one, vessel, a
model or which he has offered. - :s
The Warehouse Bill was passed, 81 to
20, and sen, TO he House for concurrence.
The opponents Of The measure considered
it as one Of the auxIlares Of the proposed
tariff and subtreasury bills; and designed
TO bear part ia promoting the same OBJ
jects. ~.
July II.
Both Houses have now, by decided
majorities, fixed OIL the 10Th August for
adjournment sire die. Some opposition
was made 10 the measure by those who
apprehend that the day being fixed, the
opponents of the Tariff and Sub Treasu-
ry, will be able to defeat those measures
by the process of stauing of, which is Of.
ten resored to in Congress. -.
Much CONSERVATION was manifested yes
lerday at The threat OF Senator SempIe to
60 home. The Senator was au unsuc-
cessfn applicant for the Office of Brisa-
dier General, and also for the Office Of
Commissioners of the Land Office. He
determined 10 60 home and attend to. his
private affairs, and leave the Tariff bill to
lis fate. He had actually packed up his
effects and was about to take the Balti
more train when his democratic friends
awaited on him and dissuaded him from
his purpose. But the event has seemed
to cfeaIe some additional apprehensions as
10 the fate of the bill. Perhaps, if the
Senator be not appointed TO some Office.
he will deem it bis duty to vote against
the bill.
One other democratic Senator has been
found to be wavefins. His vote, it is said,
will not be given against The bill, but for
all the motions calculated to stare it off.
Fhe struggle is hard one, and the result
uncertain.
July is.
The prospect Of the passage of tbe Ia.
riff bill is much better 10 day than il has
been. II appears 10 be now. very certaln,
that, in full Senate, the vote would be
twenty nine for the bill, and twenty seven
against ii. During lhe discussion Of a
motion TO change the hour Of meeting to
ten O'clock. MI. Sewer expressed theiope
that the final vote would be taken on the
hill On Wednesday noxt. Subsequently,
Mr.. n. johnson proposed that it be taken
next Saturday, The 25th. which was agreed
to Informally. The. debate came to a
pause, to day. after Mr.. Davis concluded
his speech at three O'clock. No one rose
and MIR. McDuffie called for the question.
The yeas and nays were ordered, and the
question was actually put by the Vice
President, when Mr.. Reverdy Johnson
rose. The oPPohents Of the bill were
waiting for some one On the other side to
1 speak. ,,' 49,. s'..,' -
