In the House, Mr.. Bsyly, of Va, moved to
postpone the business first in order, the Pres
ident's veto message on the French Spoliation
bill until Thursday next.
A member, whose name We did not learn,
moved to substitute Friday for Thursday
Mr.. Or argued that such was the condition
Of the public business before the House, as
that protracted debate upon the veto could
not take place without great damage to the
public interest.
Mr.. Bayly, while indisposed to delay bust
ness, was dssirous TO express his views on the
veto power, which he conceived not to be ap-
plicable to the measure upon which it has so
recently been used.
Mr.. Breckinridge and Mr. Orr urged tn at
the veto could not possibly be discussed ct
this session without jeOpardizing the civil and
diplomatic, the army and navy, the fortifca-
ton appropriation bills: and various other
measures of great public importance.
Mr.. Oliver, of Mo, opposed the discussion
Of the veto, pleading the condition of the
frontier as a reason why tho army bill, rather
than an abstract question, should be taken up.
Mr., Campbell argued in favor CT the veto at
this time.
Mr.. Orr moved tho previous question.
The Speaker said that if it was seconded, the
effect would be to bring the House at once to
another vote on the bill that had been returned
by the President unsigned.

the newspapers, have dou btless held meetings
for copsultation-to see whether they can do
any thing Their allies everywhere over the
country are talking (predicting) about the af-
fair at great rate. Such, we have every
reason to believe is the sum and substance of
the vast preparations for the speedy invasion
of Cuba of which we now hear so much in the
newspapers.
tits well known that the prosecutions under
orders from Washington that took place not
long since in New Orleans, the seizure of the
Massachusetts and one or two other vessels in
New York harbor, and tho self-evident deter.
mination and ability of the Executive of tho
United States to insure the observance Of our
neutrality laws, completely defeated the last
attempt to fillibuster against Cuba, and scat.
tered the conspirators to their several homes
from their several points of congregation.
We feel well assured that up to this tims no
serious efforts 10 re organize their forces, or to
lay definite plans for getting off from the
United States, have been attempted. Our
means Of ascertaining what they are about
are quite equal to, if not better than those of
any one else not either in the midst of the
councils of the fill busters, or in the American
State Department
As fer the story that Mr. Attorney General
Cushing sympathises with the alleged new
expedition, or with 6llibustering at any time
or under any circumstances, it is simply q
coinage of the New York Herald's roorbaok
mint in this city, wherein, according to con-
tract, q new wonder is duly manufactured
every twenty-four hours; its only requisite
characteristic being thatit shall be something
likely TO be wondered over for twenty four
hours. There is not man in this city who
has ever spoken for ten minutes with General
Cushing upon the subject of the general for.
eign policy Of the Government of the United
States, and no one talks more freely than he
does on such subjects where State secrets
may not be involved, who does not know
well that there never was q more deter
mined and unvarying advocate Of strict
