tration, and the perplexities and
complexities which surround the set
tlement Of The Texan boundary ques-
tion, all are secretly at work, and all
are mixed up in The conglomerate
mass Of difficulties which surround
this subject. Two indications in the
proceedings to-day are note worthy.
One is in the course of Mr.. Ewing,
which, so far as his votes, more than
his speech, are concerned, he has ex-
hibited rather more conciliatory in
tentions than was anticipated. His
vote against the Compromise, how
ever, is fully expected. The other is:
Mr.. Benton took occasion to state
that he would 60 for the measures as
substantive propositions in seperate
bills.
Mr.. Cass, to-day, deeply depreca-
ted the use of the argument that
Texas would resort to war, as well
as the argument that if Texas relin-
quished her claim 10 a part Of New
Mexico it was converting a portion
of slave State into a Tree soil State.
The vote on Mr.. Bradbury's
amendment stood % to 2S. This
was the amendment providing Com

The Benton and Foote Committee
did not report TO day, as it is sup
posed, 20 avoid interfering with the
Compromise, perhaps anticipating
debate upon the report.
The last heard of Mr. Bates, was
not that he is or a flying mission 10
the Congo Islands, but that he was
supposed By his friends in ST. Louis
TO be--Some,Chere.
July 80.
Mr.. Bates, the new Secretary OF
War, arrived in Washington this
evening. There is said still to be
some doubt whether he will go into
the Cabinet.
Mr.. Bradoury's amendment to the
Compromise bill was adopted by a
vote OF 80 to 2S-Mr. Shields, of
Illinois. who was not counted among
the friends of it, having, at the last
moment, voted for it. A motion
had previously been made TO lay the
bill on the table--to reject it-which
was lost by a vote of 25 yeas to 80
nays. There is a strong hope now
INDUCED by the friends Of the bill
that it will pass.
July 81.
The Senate after a session which
lasted till near night, decided the fate
of the COMPROMISE bill before it.
After making various amendments,
which so essentially changed the
character Of the bill, MANY OF its ori-
ginal friends were opposed to it, the
bill was ordered to a third reading,
containing simply provision for the
organization Of the territory OF Utah.

The bill for admitting California
was made the special order at II
O'Clock to-day and daily till disposed
of. Mr.. Foote said the bill could
never pass--that parliamentary meas

it if nothing else would. Mr.. Clay

marks which had been made about
resistance TO the authorities Of the
