He stated he said at the time he made. lhe report. that he would, call Il up at some carly day of lhe ses- sion, and move tn C. Senate to fix some fu- ture day for its discussion aud decision.- According to the notice hehad given, he then asked the Senate to lake up that resolution with that view and when it was taken up, if it should be the pleasure of the Senate so lo take 1t up, he moved that 1t be postponed to, and made the special order of the day. for Tuesday, the 27th inst.
 The resolution reported by Mr. Allen, was then taken up, and the reading of 1t called for; but

THE WHIG aNEW BooKs.n

The ill temper manifested by the'' lntelli- genceIo abundantly proves that our articles have opened up a sore and unpleasant subject for that paper If reckless and bold assertion could pass for fact, then is quite certain that the ..IntelIigeneer" would screen it's friends from all criticism or censure. Butm asser- ton cannot batter down truth. We have proved our allegations to be true, and that the "Intelligencer's" statements are mere laucles. The whgs promised, in l840, to reduce the expenses of the government from the point where Mr Van Buren left them. History shows they increased them. They pretended that he had incurred large national debt often stated by them at thirty millions, which they promised to pay off and cancel. The record shows they left ten millions more debt than they lound. They promised Gimlnu- ton of the burdens of the people. Even the Ineligencer is driven to admit that our taxes were increased. To escape from this subject, so ungrateful to its friends, the ingenious cdi- tor assailed Mr. Van Buren by quoting that monument of errors, 1Ir. Ewing's report. We pointed out, in it's quotation. one error of oyer thiftcea millions of doiiafS; and we have shown that the b4sS uPoQ which another as seriion was made, was another extraordinary effor On these bjecis the lntelllgencera maintains aB el249eM silence.

 PLATTE!! GREAT BATTLE!n


 PLATTE!! GREAT BATTLEt!! By a slip from the office of the Baltimore American, we learn that the brig Saldana Siubbs, arrived at that port yesterday from Riode Jaaeiro, whence she sailed on the 20th Deeembef, bringing interesting advices from that quarter. l. will he seen from the annex ed letters that the combined forces of the En- gish and French had achieved victory over he Argentine troops, and captured the forte at the north of the river Parana at Rio de Ja- neir0.
 The price of Flour had improved.
 Rio DE JANEIRo,
 l7th December, 1915.
 The all-absorbing topic of the day is the late tremendous engagement between the An glo allied forces at the River Platte. and some ol Rosas' batteries at the mouth of the river PaFaGa. The newspapers will doubtless teen with the particulars of the proceedings on on both sides. On the part of the English and French the victory was complete indeed; not, however, without serious losses as re- gards life, aad property in the way of ship ping
 The English brig-oi-var Dolphin alone. received l07 roand shot in her hull and rig- giag, during the engagement The French steamer Fulton received l04 shot; and d French vessel, or at least, vessel manned by Bfenchmeh, batformerly belonging to the Buenos Ayreans, was completely fiddled The total loss of the Allies amounts to about l0J kii!ed. and wounded, while, on the par, of the enemy, no. certain statement has yet bsea made public. Report says that upwards ot 500 men are missing. Certain, il is, that tn one place 10 less than 250 bodies were found, and in another some 150 or l60; and what IS still more strange, they were all blacks. To acceuut for this, Il is sait! that as fast as d white man fell, Killed or woun- ded, he was immediately carried of, while tue poor blacks were kept al il and lay where they fell.
 Once or twice these miserable wretchcs attempted te flee from the forts, but no soon- CT did they attempt it, than Rosas' cavalry charged on them and compelled them to re- turn to theF guns, at the point of the lance Rosas seemed. 10 have anticipated the flight of hls men, and placed these cavalry there on purpose te keep them in check, for eu landing of some 450 men from the vessels ot war, they met with but very little oppo- sition.
 Montevideo advices, to the lst .uh., say "Ne have news from Parana, stating the en- tire destruction of the principal batteries al the Yonelero. The loss of the French and English amount to about 150 killed and wounded-keysione.

 After consummating the last revolution, Gen.
