OEHenry Clay arrivedin Washington City
IN Monday last, and was received by the May
Or, and a large crowd of friends. Great enthu-
iasm was manifested by his reception. Mr..
clay having been conducted to the United State
Hotel, he addressed The crowdin a brief but ell
oquent speech.
The Court Martial, in the case of Lieut., Ere
monl, refused to answer Fremont's interroga-
lions whether Gen. Kearny was che author of
certain questions offered to the Court. Col.
Benton used some very denunciatory language
in speaking ofGen. Kearny: The Court was
at times much engaged in consultation, and the
witness room was ordered, frequently, to be
cleared.

An EXPENSIVE GAME.-It has been estima-
ted from fair data, that the expenses Of the wal
with Mexico up to the third day of the present
month have amounted to the enormous sum OF
one hundred and airty-seven millions ttCo hun-
dred thousand dollars! Add 10 this the large
annual gratuiiies which will have to be paid
out of the treasury for the merit sirty yeors for
pensions-and consider the twenty thousand
lives. which have been lost to the country, and
it will be difficult to imagine that degree OF
reimburse us for our vast expenditure of blood
and treasure. Byron pronounces war mad
dull game, which tyrants play to keep them
selves awake" 1t certainly is a costly one;
and in the present case it is difficult to predict
which will be the greater looser-he that beats,
he or that is beaten.- Transcript.

OEThe New Orleans Bulletin says, whilst
the crowd was round the counters ofthe Canal
Bank, one man presented a five hundred dollar
bill, and to save time and trouble, we presume,
asked for Bank of Louisiana notes in exchange
for it, '.We cannot give them" said the pay
ing teller. in his blandest manner, sswe can
only give your gold or silver for it, which will
you have?" 81 won't have either" said he, as
savage as a Seminole, Hif this all you can do
give me back my note,' and which be accord

the pocket of his pantaloons, he elbowed his
way out again into the street.

MORE TROUBLE FOR Mr.. PoLK.-It will be
recollected that the bill for the payment of
claims for French spoliations, which passed
the last Congress, was vetoed by the President.
The money was wanted to carry on the war
with Mexico, and the unconstitutional Pre-
sident at once showed aside those who had for
.ears been applicants to Government for JUS
ice, to bestow the money or his friend Santa
Anna. We are glad to learn that the Repre-
sntatiyes Of the people are not disposed to
give the matter up. The committee on For
dgn Relations of the House of Representa-
ives, By a vote. of four to two, have instructed
he Honorable Truman Smith,, chairman of
he Committee, to report a bill appropriat-
ng five millions of dollars for the payment
fclaims for French spoliations, the money to
le paid in five per cent. stock.
The bill, we learn, is similar to the act of
tie previous Congress vetoed by Mr.. Polk,
and that a very large majority of the House
ire in favor Of it, and also that it will certainly
,ass the Senate. 1t is placed early upon the
calender, and will, therefore, under the new
ules, he acted upon at an early day.
The bill has been reported and referred TO
he committee of the Whole on the State OF
he Union.
