looked 10 state OF war with other powers. he
would suggest that if the aspect of political affairs
requires it, a supplemental bill for further in
crease could be brought forward hereafter. Let
us, he said, pursue the discussion of the bill as
necessary for our peace establishment. There
were amendments which he should like TO offer,
but he would refrain, not wishing TO embarrass
the measure before the House. He believed that
the passage of this bill would be in accordance
with the almost unanimous desire Of the country
We want six more steamers II was no objection
that these steamers would go to ruin before they
could be used. II would be no objection if they
should have no future occasion for them; on the
contrary, il would be matter Of congratuaton.
On the same ground, we might as well object 10
the law OF murder, because il has not been vio-
lated, as to object TO keeping up navy because
the ships that are built will go 10 ruin because
there is no occasion 10 make use Of them.
MIR. PECKHAM'S amendment was rejected.
Mr. SMITH, of New York, offered an amend
ment, by adding at the end of the first section of
the bill the words: And no intoxicating liquors
shall ever be kept in said ships, TO be used as a
beverage
Mr. DEAN raised the point that the amend
ment was not german to the subject under con-
sideration. tA
The CHAIRMAN said the objection was well
taken and, the question having been taken on
an appeal, the decision was sustained.
Mr.. SMITH, of Virginia, offered an amend
ment that million OF dollars be appropriated by
the bill TO fit out vessels in ordinary, which may
be required for immediate service, as the pro-
posed steamers cannot be bnilt under two years.
Mr.. BOCOCK opposed the amendment, which
was rejected.
Various other amendments were offered, de-
bated in five minute speeches, and severally re-
jected
The bill was then reported 10 the House in the
form that il was originally introduced, providing
for the construction of six irstclass steam-fgates
with screw propellers, and properly armed and
equipped for the service said vessels and ma
chinery to be built by contract, or at the govern
ment navy yards, as the Secretary of the Navy
may think advisable; and for these purposes as
well as for altering completing and launching the
frgates Santec and Sabine, three millions Of dol
lars ure appropriated.
The bill was passed-yeas 49, nays 49,
And the House adjourned till Monday.

THE LATEST.

In the house of commons, Mr.. Miner Gibson
had moved an address, praying that in the
event Of a war, her majesty would give direc-
tons to abstain from interfering with neutral
flags, not containing contraband munitions of
war. He also suggested the policy Of entering
into similar treaty with the United States and
other countries.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle states that, at q council of minister's,
dispatches from the French envoy in London
we're received, in which the envoy stated that
the English cabinet is not disposed to look
upon the proposition made by Prussia for the
resumption Of negotiations between the western
powers and Russia as serious, or likely to lead
to pacific solution, and therefore think there
is no occasion for the two cabinets to occupy
themselves with the proposition. The English
government declares that the only thing to be
done at present is to hasten the embarkation
of troops for Constantinople, and despatch a
third squadron to the Baltic. The opinion of
the English cabinet was fully approved of by
France.

u

in the chair and resumed the consideration Of the
bill authorizing the construction of six steam
frigates of the first class esaH @t
Mr.PECKHAM offered an amendment 10 build
nine such steamers. He said he proposed il in
consequence of having seen, by the last intel-
gencc from England that some excitement has
been created in commercial circles by Lord Clar-
endons announcement TO the Riga merchants,
u all Russian products, TO whomsocver they
ma belong, even in neutral vessels, shall be law
full prizes in the event of war" Mr.. Gibson, in
"Hthe despatch of Lord Clarendon was to be act
ed on, we shall shortly be brought into collision
with the Americans, whose merchantmen would
be liable TO be searched by British cruisers, and
ifthey had any parcel on board which, directly
or indirectly, could be made out TO be connected
with Russian commerce, to be condemned in some
court Of admiralty This was virtually the asser-
ton of the right Of search by Great Britaina doc
trine certainly in which we have not acquiesced
and TO which we can never accede. II was a
question Of great importance to this country, for
our commcrce with Russia is large; and hence the
question comes directly home to us. He repeat
ed, war already exists and proclamation Of this
sort, made by the government Of Great Britain is
of great moment to ms, Then, he asked il this
was not Al, important, efficient, and controlling
reason for this Houseto add little more force 10
the navy. Great Britain seeks our rympathies
against Russia, perhaps she has them; but il is a IL
important she should understand distinctly tha,
she is -rcroachng on q doctrine which we hold
as Of vital interest," and we should be in position
not only to proclaim this doctrine, but to have Il
respected. II is easier to prevent aggression than
TO seek to redress wrongs after they have been in
hctcd. He hoped that this matter would be pro-
pery considered by the House; and he would
have Great Britain understand what our views are
onthis question. st1sJ twfNsts2 @*8tkt
