Udr Geographic dispatches yesterday furnished
us with the usual abstract of Congressional pro-
ccedings, market reports, &c, but nothing later
from Mexico.
In the Senate, speech was delivered by Mr..
Calhoun IN opposition to the bill proposing to ex
tend relief to the distressed people of Yucatan.
Mr. q. declared in the course of his remarks, that
" the state OF Europe admonishes us to husband
our resources, so that we may be prepared for any
emergency that may arise; and this was one of
the grounds on which he based his opposition to
the contemplated military occupation of Yucatan.
MIR. Bagby will speak on the question to-day. In
the House, the bill for refunding moneys advanced
to fit out volunteers for Mexico, was passed. A
resolution was also adopted, calling upon the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for report of the amount
of breadstuffs, cotton and specie exported to Eng
land during two specified periods, so as to compare
the relative operations of the tariffs of ~ and 49,

the protest that had been made against such a

British government. Whether this protest will
be followed up by declaration of war against
Germany by England, or not, we do not know; but
when II !. known that that nation is bound BY

LATER FROM New GRANADA.-By an arrival
from Sabanilla, 1--WE are in receipt of intelligence
from Bogota to the 9Th u.
Congress was still in session, and there had been
somewhat of an excitement in it, regarding the
matter Of expelling the Jesuits from the republic
1t appears amotion was made in Congress by the
opposition party, to expel the Jesuts from the coun-
try As matter of courtesy, the proposer of the
motion enquired of the Minister of State what d,e
feelings of the government were on the sub,iN.
The Secretary of State on the following day md Ne
a most violent speech, in which he deprecated the
measure without stint, stating that the opinions he
then uttered were likewise those of the President
This action Of the President sending in his own
personal opinion on matter submitted to him by
Congress, and ncglectng even the formaity of a
cabinet council to consult on it, gave great offence
to the opposition party. Don Forentno Gonzalez,
the under secretary of STATE and an anti Jesuit in
politics. was SO disguised at this rude manner of
treating Congress by the President, that he resign
ed his post at once His resignation was accented
after three days deiberation by the President. and
at the last accounts his successor had not been
chosen; and there the matter rests for the pre-
sent.
From the absence of files of papers we are una
bic to give any further account of what is going
on in New Granada.

TO manage their afisirs in their own way, and let
England adopt any course which may seem best to
her in the emergency. Our only object at this
time In referring to the subject, is TO point out the
danger which will beset our American commerce,
in the event of hostilities breaking out between
Germany and England. If such should be the case,
the Baltic would be the theatre of operations, and
our commerce, which is very extensive In that
part of the world would be at the mercy OF each OF
the belligerents unless it were properly and ade-
quately protected by sufficient naval force; and
in such an event, would, In all probability, be
trampled upon again, as II was In the warfare
which succeeded the French revolution of 1889.
Ii must be borne in mind at the present day, that
England has not formally abandoned the impudent
and outrageous right which she in past years
claimed, of visiting our merchant ships and i'm
pressing our seamen. Her naval system never has
been in good odor with the seafaring portion other
population, and the probability is, that in case
she becomes engaged in war which requires
large naval force, she will be compelled to resort
to extraordinary straits to man her feet; and unless
deferred by the presence of strong American
feet would not be at all surprised if that AFRO
CANT power were to resort to the same expedients
as she did, in that respect, on former occasions,
and which led to our war of 1872.
We will put it 10 the American people, and to
their representatives in Congress, whether they
willing to have these British outrages repeated
on our commerce! Wheher> they are willing to
see their flag disrespected and insulted-made a
by-word among nations, as it was previous to
lsl2-or rather, whether they would not prefer,
that at any expense and at all hazards, IT should be
respected by people of every cline under heaven,
and its character held sacred? We submit, there
fore, whether it is not the dictate of selfrespect
and of patriotism, that we shall, at once, send all
ourdisposable naval into those SEAS the pro-
lection Of our commerce and our flag, with explicit
| directions to the officers in command to protect
them TO the fullest extent, and to punish promptly
and severely any infringement upon our rights,
come from what quarterit may. We are confident
that the American people do not desire that our
ships should be again visited and our honest sailors
again dragged from their berihs by hveried naval
officers, to fight the battles of foreign people.
We call upon Congress, therefore, as the repre-
sentatives of the American people, to bestir them
selves in this NATTER and with all reasonable expe-
dton to take adequate measures for the protection
of American commerce in the European seas, and
not permit the acts of former days to be again prac-
tised. A powerful feet must be despatched to the
north of Europe as soon as practicable, or the
glory and honor of flag will be again furnished
by an arrogant and overbearing nation.
