WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.
 SENATE.-Mr. Crittenden introduced his bill amending the Kansas ebraska act.
 HoUsE.-A resolution was passed to purchase and give the ship ResoIute to England. Mir. Campbell, from the committee of conference, reported that they were unable to agree. He said, as for himself, he was willing to go as far as the farthest but his duty to himself, his con- stituents and his God prevented him from en dorsing the Kansas Legislature, and moved that the House further insist" MT. Stevens said the settlement of this matter belonged to the U. $. Supreme Court, and moved that the House "recede," which was lost by 97 to 100, Campbell's motion carried by 100 to 97.
 A motion to re consider was tabled by four majority.
 MT. Crittenden's bill proposes to transfer the law making power from the legislature to the Governor and Supreme Judges the same to be subject to the ratification of Congress. This was the manner of organizing the territories of Ohio, Louisiana, and Indiana and worked we'll The bill empowers the President to employ the army to enforce the laws and repel the distur- bers of peace.
 MT. Seward congratulated the country on the action of the House.
 MT. Csss said he approached this subj sct with diffidence. It was the duty of Congress to make the necessary appropriations, and both Houses agree in the items of this appropriation The fault is with the House, who annex pro- vso to this bill which the Senate cannot accept This provso extended the Presidents authority over the highways, and to, morrow it might ex. tend it over the by-ways. This power was as effectual over the highways in Massachusetts as it is in Missouri, and no man is so blind as not to see that this course will end in overturn- ing the government. No act can be conceived which one house may not be able to force through by stopping the wheels of the govern ment, still it was not this act alone that would do the mischief but what may follow it. He then read an extract from the Congressional Globe, to show that Mr. Seward was false to his antecedents in this matter. After further de- bate the Senate adjourned.

 Washington, August S. Eaglaaa u,yjng tue sale of CuJa 0 he United
 otates-Designs of Louis Nopo7eon upon Spain onM Cuba-England and tie Unitel States bound to resist.
 Movements of the highest importance in re- ference to the interests of the United States are now on foot in Europe growing, in part, out of the assumed designs of Napoleon III upon Spain.
 may state, upon information not questiona- D", that the British government have again urged upon the government of Spain the expe- dency of the sale and cession of Cuba to the United States. 1 say again, too, pendin. the Ostend conference the British government fa- vored this measure. But now iu view of the ambitious project of Napoleon III for the as sertion of prctensions to the crown of Spain, that government has become exceedingly anx- ious to strengthen Spain, by cutting off her ex- pensive and useless appendage of Cuba, and by the same means to enable Spain to improve her provinces, and be the better enabled to secure her independence against domestic instruction and foreign invasion.
 If Napoleon succeed in his intrigues, he will extend his empire over both Spain and Cuba and this attempt Is necessarily to be resisted by England, at the hazard of a war with France a war in which she will gladly have the United States as all ally. The transfer of Cuba to any foreign power the United States have been pledged to resist ever since the administration of Mr. Monroe.
 The British government have represented to the late government of ESpartero, and the pre- sent administration of O'Donnell, that Spain cannot long retain possession of Cuba against the United States, and that she had better cede the island at once to the United States for proper consideration--a hundred or d hundred and fifty millions of dollars and thus improve her physical and political condition.
 Napoleon III, has, on the other hand, con centrated large force on the Spanish frontier, and is actively engaged in intrgues with the queen mother, Christina, whose malign inhu- ence is deeply felt in the affairs of Spain
 A rupture between England and France is to be apprehended on this subject at an early day; meanwhile England seeks to conciliate the United States by removing every possible cause of disagreement, and the two countries may be soon compelled to make common cause against the designs of France in regard to Spain and Cuba.
