WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.

SENATE petitions were present.
ed and private bills passed.
The Ten Regiments bill coming up in order,
Mr.. Bell resumed his speech, charging the
Administration with having no intention to
make treaty with the present Mexican Gov
eminent, but intending to create new one
with which to negotiate.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis interrupted him, and
stated that, for his part, he was willing and
ready to give his consent to any fair Treaty of
Peace that might be concluded with the present
Mexican Government. He would be satisfied
with the Sirra Madre as the line of boundary.
Mr.. Bell replied that he Mr. Davis enter
tanned views at variauce with those of the
Executive and the friends and supporters of
the Administration.
Mr.. Sewer having obtained the floor, the
Senate adjourned.
HoUsE.-The House of Representatives,
after transactng some important business,
resumed the consideration of the resolution
directing the reference of the Presidents An.
nual Message to appropriate Committees.
Mr.. Smith delivered spiritd speech in OPP
position to the Administration.
Mr.. Vinton having obtained the floor, closed
the debate by calling for the previous question.
The call was sustained, and the main question
ordered
Mr.. Wilmot's amendment, relative to di-
rect tax of five millions of dollars per annum,
was rejected.
Mr.. Vinton's original resolution of reference
was adopted.
The rest of the session was occupied in I'M
important business.
The correspondent of the North American,
writes:
"Mucl anxiety is expressed by the Presi-
dent and cabinet concerning Mr.. Trist. Five
different messages have been despatched with
his recall without any information being re-
turned as to his views and designs. The
ground of apprehension is that treaty Of
some sort may have been patched up with
Mexico, and drafts negotiated for the three
millions appropriated to be paid, whenever
the treaty was signed by the authorized agents
of the two governments, and ratified by Mex
leo. .
"The letters revoking Mr.. T1ist's power
as Commissioner, would not be communicated
to the Mexican Government; and hence they
may have proceeded with negotiation on the
basis of his previously recognized authority.
These are the opinions, or fears, of Mr.. Polk
in regard to his own agent-and aren not con-
cealed by his confidential advisers in the Sen
ate."
Hon. Hiram Belchen was in the city yester-
day, on his way from Washington to Farm
