SUMMARY OF the 1sotsst NcSvss
According to Geographic despatch received at
this Office. yesterday, Dr. Raybum arrived in
Washington on the 4th inst, with the ratified
treaty in hispocket
The document was submitted yesterday morn
ing, by the President, to cabinet council, which,
prof. ably, decided to send it once to the Senate
for the further action of that body.
This treaty will now probably be the bone of con-
tention in Congress. On its reception in the Sc
nate, secret session will be held, when the dispo-
stion of the new territory, with the Wilmot prov.
SO, may come up in debate, to create fresh excite
ment among the politicians and people. We intend
to obtain the earliest Intelligence of the discussion,
if il take place, and publish it to the world spite
of the Senators, IN order to show them that the
free press of this republic is not to be trihed with
by few men clothed in little brief authority
We intend to do this, too, in order to place the
public possession of all the facts connected with
the question that promisesto agitate the Union for
the next few months.
The Senate yesterday concluded that they had
been sufficiently long engaged in the public SER
vice and President-making, and appointed the
31st of the present month for adjournment. In the
House nothing of interest TRANSFERRED.

ENGLAND AND MEx1co.-We understand, from
a New Orleans paper, that England has perempto-
rily demanded of the government of Mexico i'm
mediate payment of all debts due by it to English
subjects, and threatened that In case such demand
be not complied with, TO blockade the ports of that
country.
Now, dis startling piece Of intelligence may,
or may not be true; but we are very much disposed
10 think that ii had IFS origin in the brain of some
gentleman, who had abundance Of spare time on
his hands, and endeavored to while away por-
ton of it by connecting this rumor.
II il is true, of which we have our doubts, Eng
land wishes TO take advantage OF the annual pay
ments which the United States have agreed to
make to Mexico by the recent treaty of peace, as
an equivalent for the surrender Of New Mexico and
California, and to make those pay ments shape
their destination TO England instead otto Mexico
That is the only object which the English govern
ment could have in making such threat, for that
government knows very well that the United States
would not tolerate the transfer or conquest OF a
foot of Mexican territory to any European power,
and more particularly 10 England That country
has territory sufficient, at least in the opinion of
the people and government of the United States,
on this continent What she has, she may keep
as long as she can, which will not be for very
long time, according to present appearances; but
not another rood can she have for love or money.
That principle is a part Of the American political
creed, and, as such, will be enforced whenever 1t
becomes necessary TO do so.
We are disposed TO disbelieve the whole story
for this reason, that England is not position to
carry out threat Of any kind, and being thus ST.
iuated, she would not utter one word TO Mexico
Her own national existence is in the hands of the
mob. Her political fabric supholden by the ques-
tionsble loyalty Of the boggeoisc, aad the moment
when that loyalty is withdrawn, her downfall will
follow. Between the &c six points and repeal, the
English government has enough TO attend to, and
for while, at least it Will be very civil and polite
TO the rcst Of the world, Mexico included.

Our Congregational Reports

One day last week, Captain Cobb, lately one of
our famous packet ship commanders, but now en-
gagged in ocean steam navigation, was in w ashIng-
ton on some business connected with the enter
prise of covering the ocean with American steam
ships. While there, he was DESTROYS of seeing
report OF the previous days debates in Congress.
Said he TO the gentemanly keeper of the hotel
where he put up: 81 would like to see one of the
Wa HIM ton papers-the one that contains the best
reports of the debates in Congress- The landlord
looked at the Captain moment, and then re-
pied :-"Why, sir, If you wish TO see a report of
the debates IN Congress, you must not take UP
Washington paper; you can't tin1 il there they
do rot publish any; you must go to New York and

WASHINGTON, July 5, I94s
Doctor Rayburn, an attachf Of the commission
to Mexico, arrived last evening, bringing with HIM
the ratified treaty and large sum of money. He
parted with Mr.. Sewer at New Orleans. The
latter gentleman went up the river towards his
home in Arkansas. He was in bad health: but is
expected to arrive in this city in five or six days.
A cabinet council was held this morning, and
the treaty will probably be sent into the Senate
to-day, with message from the President

MAD DoGs.-The Common Council has au-
thorized the Mayorto appoint suitable persons to
| kill such dogs as may be found running at large
below Thirteth street, and pay reward of fifty
cents for each dog destroyed, with such regulations
as he may deem proper. If we mistake not the dog
killers heretofore have been permitted to carry on
their against the canine each day, from sun
rise to set; the consequence of such regulation
Is that the owners ofdogs, the moment the sun had
disappeared behind the western hills, have turned
out their worthless to snap every passer by;
and having been kept confined during the day.
they are generally more disposed to bite than they
would have been if allowed to go at large. Those
persons who have had occasion to pass Union
Square and adjacent streets, at late hour, we
feel satisfied Will vouch for the correctness of our
remarks With view of removing the evil COM
planned of, we would suggest to his Honor the
Mayor the propriety of empowering the policemen

hours, night and day, and allow them the same
reward as is authorised to be paid to any other u-
dividual. Citizens might then walk out either by
day or night, without fear and trembling. For the
good of the public, the sooner the dogs without
muzzles are killed the better and as it matters
nothing whether the reward be paid 10 poicem n
or private CITIZEN to rid the community of such an
gerous animals, would again recommend the
experiment suggested to be tried.

The Abol,tlon,sts and President Van Buren

The Abolitionists and President Van Buren,.
We publish in our columns to-day another
political pronumciamento, the last of the season
thus far, which has been issued by the Tappans
and others, the leaders of the original abolition
party, to all the faithful in the North South East
and West.
This document is very important paper
at the present time. 1t upsets the calcula-
tions of John Van Buren,, his dad, the nominee for
the presidency, and of the whole regular barn.
burning family in the North. The barnburners
depended strongly on an accession to their ranks
by the abolition party of the Northern States; but
ths 1ronuaciamento knocks the thought into a
cooked hat without the benefit of clergy. 1t wllb
seen that the abolionists will support candidate
for the Presidency but the one who has been nomI
mated by them already, John p. Hale, and will not
abandon him for any other, not excepting even

Van Buren-John's dad-the embodiment of the
Wilmot proviso principle. They are not to be
caught with such trap, or halfway measure, as
they term the Wilmot provlso, nor will they sup
port any halfway candidate, such as Martin Van
Buren,.
This movement by the abolitionIss will give
increased interest to the proceedings of the Adolf
ton Convention TO be holden In Buffalo on the
9th of next month. Delegates from all the Northern
and Eastern States will attend there for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for the Presi-
dency, in opposition to General Cass and General
Taylor. The friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, were In
hopes that that Convention would ratlfy the nonl-
nation of Mr.. Van Buren,, but this movement
throws some doubt such a contamination.
1t also detracts from the Importance attached
to the movement of the Barnburners, and will
no doubt cause great deal of disagreement
in the Convention; for, doubtless, there will be
many abolition delegates there, and they will not
concur in Mr. Van Buren's nomination as u cam
didate for the Presidency.
