ever ied but was succeeded by another proposition by
Mr Barksdae direct and explicit in its terms and its
object Mr. Barksdale asked leave Thursday last TO
introduce the following bill
Whereas the President in his TO the House of Rep
March, 1854 communicated the fact that
the of Spain questions pending be
and that of her Catholic Majesty and
possible failure amicaby TO adjust existing diff
cues and of the degree in which they involved tbs honor
and security United States did suggest in antepa
any such contingency the proprety of provisional
being by Congress- and whereas nothing has
within the knowledge of this House which has
changed of relations with Spain there
| fore,
e United States ia Congress assembled That the of ten
millions of be- and the hereby, appropriated
any money the otherwise appropriated
to be by President of the United States during the
Congress- necessary, either in negotiating to pro-
vide against injury the interests of the United
States in such preparation in his Judgment may be re-
quired the observance Of just rights to OBJ
redress for injuries received and to vindeae the honor
| of our flag.
1t will be observed that Mr. Barksaes bill is based upon
the assumption that nothing has occurred within the
knowledge this House which has changed the character
of our relations with Spain" We think this assumption
was reasonable and proper it could hardly be supposed
that if anything had occurred render provisional meas
unnecessary such change in relations with Spain
would be unknown to the House The suggestion of the
President must presumed be operative until IA
vorabe change in our relations Cuba should be ndca
ted by the of negotiations with Spain Mr. Sin
pleons resolution intended ascertain whether there
was still necessity for provisional measures Mr. Barks-
dae bill valves any inquiry of the Executive for addition
al information assuming that the necessity exists
as when the President made his recommendation In view
Of the fact that the session of Congress will terminate in
know that the of things,
in Spain as well as Cuba suggests the Importance of
| such a provisional that contained in Mr.
Barksdaes BILL but regret hat its introduction
was objected 1t is be supposed that portion OF
the money would be used except upon the conviction that
its use was demanded by the honor and interests of the
country cannot be denied that in the present state OF
things in SPAIN the of few millions of money may en-
able the Executive bring all difficulties with that
ernmen toa final and satisfactory settlement If such op
porunity should be rendered unavailable for want of the
means provided by Mr. Barksdaes BILL it would be mat
ter of national regret strikes of the in
which nothing sked in passing the bill except the de
ty of the President the Of the money but in which
everything connected with of the most interesting
tional questions of the age put hazard by falling
pass either that other provisional act That The
President deems such necessary have right te
he has so announced in his message to Congress
and the necessity for had ceased that sucf
intelligence would not be withheld from Congress Shor
as the time is we still hope that grave matter may
not be overlooked that the suggestion ofhe Presden
may be yet carried out
The accounts brought by the steamer which arrived
New York ON Thursday from Spain in the highest de
gree important and bear strongly upon the suggestion a.
to the necessity of some provisional legislation We hav
