cation, was continued by Messrs. Stephens,
Read, Eustis, Broom, Campbell of Pa, Cad-
wallader, Walker, Florence, BocOck, Keit, and

Proceedings of To-day.

In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Brodhead called
up his resolution of inquiry, whether some.
thing cannot be done in the way of originating
if necessary, in the Senate, the annual appro.
priation bills, so as to do away with the ne
cessity for considering them in hurry in the
Senate.
This resolution was discussed at some length
by Messrs. Brodbead, Clayton, Hunter, Sew
ard, and Toombs, ere We went to press; ell OF
them urging the necessity of some reform &c
compass the end designed to be accomplished
by the resolution.
Mr. TOombs urged that most of the evils tc
be cured, grew out of the practice of consider
ing jobbing- amendments to the appropriation
bill at a time too late to permit their characte,
to be exposed through debate.
In the House, Immediately after they cam,
together
Mr.. Letcher moved call of the House; not

The London Daily News aft rms tn at Sweden
has ratified the treaty with England and
France The allied powers guarantee the
territorial integrity Of Sweden, and the latter
engages not to ALLEVIATE any part of her terri
tory to Russia, the contracting parties also en-
gage to communicate reciprocally all PROPOSE
tons coming from Russia.
RumOrs of peace were still abundant in
France and England.
Count Esterhazy had left Vienna for St.
Petersburg on the 10th, with important dis.
patches containing propositions of a pacific
nature.
1t was stated that il the Gar refuses an &C.
ceptance Austria will withdraw her ambassa-
dor from St. Petersburg
Both the London News and Times express
strong doubts of the acceptance of the prop
ositions by the Gar. Count Esterhazy's in
structions are to return Immediately in the
event of the Czar's refusal to negotiate.
The difficulty which existed between the
English and the French governments relative
to the conditions on which peace should be
made, have been arranged through the efforts
of the King of Sardinia.
Inc surrender OF Mars To the Russians has
been confirmed. Nine Pachas, together with
Gen. Williams and sixteen thousand troops,

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intetiigeneer mourns over the condition
ofthe House, and thinks that it would be about
as well if the members should go home, to re-
main there for the next four weeks, leaving
the Clerk to call the roll four times daily, and
record their names as he has been doing for
the last four weeks. That journal also pub
fishes communication from an ex-member of
Congress, funnily enough, charging the Ad-
ministraticn with creating all the difficulty by
obstinately insisting on Richardson and Kan
sas, or no organization. Now, the friends of
tho Administration, in the House, number
scarcely more than one-third the members
The ex-member IL certainly veritable disci-
pie OF the never-to- be forgotten Mr.. Pickwick.
If not that benevolent old gentleman come to
life again
