Mr.. Thompson of Pa. offered a resolution
that the words of the resolution of the Sd Of
January last, that the war was unconstitution-
ally commenced by the President, is untrue in
fact, and calculated to prevent peace with
Mexico, and should therefore be expunged
from the journals of the House.

Mr.. Duer Of New York in the course of

The people were surrounded by such persons

MONEY RUMoR-The correspondence of the
journal Of Commerce, writing from Washington
on the 18th, has the following rumored money ne
COLLATION.
\ rumor is circulated to-day, which, if well
founded, will relieve the administration members
Of Congress from any anxiety as 10 the means OF
obtaining money for the support Of the War 1t
is said that Mr. Belmont, as agent of the RothS-
chids, has offered TO take the sixteen million loan
on the terms proposed in Mr.. Vinton's bill; and
TO pay one half of the money in New York, and
the other halfm Mexico.
The RoiIscllilds will find their account in ia
king the loan on such terms, and take it for
granted, capitalists VIII be led more by their in
terests in this matter, than by any factious mo-
lives on one hand or patriotic ones on the other.
They can sell bills in Mexico for specie at high
premium.-some ten per cent. l am told by per-
sons who have been engaged in commerce in Mex
leo, that the rate Of premium has sometimes been
as high as twenty per cent. or more. Mr.. Paken-
ham used TO sell his salary drafts, in the city Of
Mexico, for twenty-five per cent premium.
