MIR. billiard was about proceeding again, when
he was interrupted by M Preston King from the
neighborhood Of Hon. Sllas Wright, in York State
inerposing to speak OF certain rumors which were
afloat in this city OF "wars and rumors Of wars
certain remarks of his yesterday, during the speech
of Mr.. Rhett. He (Mr. K.) had not intimated di-
recty that there had been understanding, or a
secret correspondence between Mr. Calhoun and
the British minister, In reference to the annexation
Of TeXas whereby the silence Of the British minis
ter attained to the annexation, on the condition
that Secretary OF State should submit to the d.
visiop regon ; but he had given this as a cur
rent M Rhet said, that he distinctly un-
derstooa be- eruileman as making the charge ex-
plicitly and loo occasion to say, that whoever had
originated such report, or whoever sanctioned lts
currency, gave credence 70 deliberate and mali
ciOus untruth, sgnifying in the Chadaic, that the
report was malignant and internal lie.
Mr.. Hilliard then, after yielding the floor several
times, stood up for his rights, and made one OF the
most eloquent, comprehensive and well digested
speeches that have yet been made on the subject
He was averse to the proposition OF the Chairman
OF the Committee on Territories, and that OF the
Committee on Foreign Affairs maintaining that tho
most equitable proceeding on the part OF the Houes
would be to pass resolution authorizing the Pres-
dent TO give the desired notice, whenever, IN his
opinion, fit and becoming time for such proceed
ing shall have arrived; and an amendment to that
effect was made accordingly. Mr.. billiards speech
was distinguished for great critical acumen, IN

once Spanish title, and had become an American
title. by Spanish concession; and although
England treated the Spanish title with con-

existence as nation, and to accelerate the chances
of a war between US and Great Britain, who would
become emboldened with raPacity, and construc
our forbcarance into fear of her power. But the
most pleasing and fascinating portion OF the argu-
ment was that in which he depicted the intrinsic
worth of the territory, and the immense advantages
that would accure to our commerce and to our In
sttutions by having territorial government organ
lied, and the enterprislng intelligence Of the West
spurred on to establish sphere OF action which
