SENArE.-Mr Hunter moved TO POSTPONE the
consideration of private bills for one hour, so as
10 enable the Senate 10 consider the bill for the
extension of the Capitol After some debate the
bill was taken mp.
Mr Brodhead submitted a substitute appropri-
oing S20 600 to enable the architect TO remove
The foundation walls, restore the grounds and
pay the .aborers out Of employment the same as
though they had been employed since the work
mao been DISCONTINUED also for the settlement
Of the accounts of the architect.
Mr Brodhead said his object was to test the
matter and show whether it was policy TO prose-
cute the work, which would involve an expendi-
ture OF S5OuOO0O, or stop where they were.
Mr Bradbury SAID be was inclined to favor Mr.
brodhead.s proposition, contending that the pres
ent Capitol was large enough for all needful pur-
poses.
Mr. Hale said that all felt persuaded that thew
had got to abandon the Capitol sooner or later.

Dir Doug ass replied that it was very clear
that the present Capitol was not large enough.
and 1t was important for the Western members
to know before they voted, whether the object
was TO remove the Capitol to more central To-
oalty
Mr. Walker said that he would vote for the a.
mendment but condemned the plan for the exc
euilon OF the proposed extension.

IHE NORTHERN TOWERS AND FRANCE
The latest foreign advices state that We
ry important treaty had been signed, rat
flied and exchanged between the Empe-
rors of Russia and Austria, and the king
of Prussia, ON the subject of the eventual
ity of the establishment of an elective or
an hereditary empire in France. This
treaty is dated May Goth, 1852, and de-
clares, that in case Louis Napoleon should
get himself elected by universal suffrage
as Emperor of France for life, the Pow
ers will not recognize the new Emperor,
and they will consult as to the Interior
measures which they may think it neces-
sary to take in case a popular or military
movement should ovcrturn the govern
ment of Louis Napoleon; or, simply, in
case Of tho death Of the President, the
Powers bind themselves to aid and favor
the restoration of the legitimate heir of
the Crown and, in the sequel, they will
recognize no other dynasty but that Of
the Bourbons, and no other claimant but
Count dc Chambord. In acting thus,
the Powers protest against the imputation
of rushing to attack the independence of
France; and they say that she is free to
organize her internal government as she
chooses, but the recognition of legitimate
and hereditary royalty interests all Euro
peNn States, and the right and duty de-
vOlvc upon the sovereigns of defending
that principle, and assisting it to triumph
The London Times does not credit the
authenticity of this important document,
growing mainly out of the improbability
that these three powers would put at ha-
card the peace of Europe for such a
cause. Still, the treaty as published by
the Loudon Chronicle, has all the marks
of being genuine, and, under the circum-
stances, its existence does not seem i'm
probable.
GuN POWDER WON'T Do.-Thc Editor
Of the Columbus Ga. Times writes thus
from Niagara;
"Thc Scott Wings have just finished,
on this spot celebration Of the Lundy's
Lane battle, for the benefit of Gen. Scott
"a battle fought and won by Gen.
Brown, and in which Scott was n subordi-
nate, and not more distinguished than
Miller, Ripley, and dozen others, his
equals in rank and performance, To hear
tho Scwardites talk of Lundy's Lane, one
would suppose that Scott had been COM
mander in chief, and did all the fighting.

ardor, has even put Miller's celebrated

preston afterwards worn on the buttons
