Mr.. ROBINSON moved 10 reconsider the mo-
ion and 10 Law IL on the table, which having been
carried. Mr. SNrrp, Of Alabama, moved iis recon.
siderstion and to lay his resolution on he table.
This he did, he said, 70 enable him 10 enter into
personal explanation, his conduct having been
assailed and misrepresented and was proceeding
TO remark on the nature Of the resout on and the
conduct Of Governor Kossuth, when be was called
to order.
The SPEAKER. however, decided that the mem.
Der for Alabama had not wandered from the sub.
ject, upon which he permitted to address the
House. THIS was appealed against, and the de-
cison Of the chair sustained by vote Of 123 to S.
ard Mr. SNirH proceeded with his speech.
Hr charged the Sena's with having been gov
erned in IL, action upon the subject, and the pas.
sage Of the resoluii n, by the expression Of public
sentiment, since his arrival at New York he re-
viewed the conduct Of Kossuih subsequent to his
arrival in England and recently in that city,
which he condemned unauthorized inter.
ference with The affairs Of this country com ment-
ed his public documents and speecbes, which
he condemned az being calculated to enhartass
the government, and unduly to excl the public
mind. Not content with pursuing this course, he
had asssiled Congress and CONDEMNED the poiry
Of keeping an ambasstd in Austria, a. being
Inconsistent with the feeling which had been ex-
pressed in behalf of Hungary.
The motion 10 recon- sider the resolution and n
l1y it on the table, was then carried without d.
VISION.

sending one that wss pass by former Com
eress declaring the war with Mexico IN be uncop.
