WAsuINGroN, March lG, 1853.
The Senate remained in Executive session
only few minutes to-day. No new Domna-
tions were received, and none definitely acted
on.
On motion of Mr.. Adam, Of Miss. it was
resolved that the Senate will proceed tomorrow
to the election of Il Secretary, Sergeant at
Arms. and Doorkeeper.
The Senate then resumed the consideration
of the Clayton resolution, when Mr.. Douglas
addressed the Senate. Ills position was this :
That if we secured the night of way for IA Ca
nal between the Atlantic aud Pacific under the
protection of this Government 1t should have
been to the United States exclusively, and not
an European partnership. If we had obtained
it, we could have opened the Canal to all the
world on such terms as we thought proper. and
could have excluded other nltlons from its Use
when necessity required 1t would have been
a bond of peace instead Of an apple Of discord

tiun of the Clayton and Bliwer treaty, lie

TIE FrIeHr or ARIsTA.-The subjoined
account of recent occurrences in Mexico, is
translated for the Picayune, from the Vera
Cruz Iapers Of the 11th.
The mail which arrived yesterday from the
CITY Of Mexico, confirms The rUmors which
were circulated yesterday that Don Marlano
Arista had resigned the Presidency, and Don
Juan Bautista Cervalos. President OF the SUE
preme Court, had assigned the Difesmon OF me
Government in virtue of his office. The Siglo
OF the 4Ih says:
Yesterday every thing was uncertainty IN the
civ, Startling rumors circulate through the
streets. keeping oil parties IN fermeni, and
there was much doubt as TO whether General
Arista would resi- On Oh not. Those who feared
an emeute opposed the resignation. The
ministry desired to ascertain public opinion
on the question, and long conferences were
held with tn principal deputies, particularly
with the Finan &c Committees OF both Houses.
General Arista becoming persuaded that ne
could not obtain extraordinary powers from
Congress, resolved to resign the Presidency.
This determination became public, and
alarming rumors were circulated, bat they had
so little effect that the theatre that night was
filled to overlooking. Itwas confidently stated,
on one hand, that Dictatorship would be pro-
claimed, while on the other it was announced
with equal certainty, that pronuncfdnlentO
would take place in favor of the plan o. Qua
dalsjara. All this was unf,unded. Public
tranquility has remained undisturbed in the
capital. A few foreigners appeared IN the cot
fee houses ard in the German Club with arms,
but only with the view of protecting property
in case Of any disorder.
Gen Arista left the palace at half past one
| in the morning, in his coach, with an escort OF
fifty men from the Police Brigade, AID email
| guard from the 9Th regiment. We do lot know
| what route he took.
The President of the Supreme Court Of Jus
tice arrived at the palace al midnight, having
| been sent for by the President, who, we under
stand left with him the letter Of resignation tt
be presented to Congress, and handed him ar
official communication authorising him, in con
| formity with the constitution, to assume the ex
ecutive power
