FROM ABSTRACTION.

MAY 9o.-Fhe President in his veto of the

in considering it under the Constitution, that
the power of Congress to construct works ofin-

ecution of some ono or more of the powers OK
prcssly delegated to the general government.
have not been able to find for the proposed OK
pcnditure any such relative power, unless il. be
power to provide for common defense and to
maintain the army and navy, but a careful cx-
animation of the subject, with the aid of infor,,
nation officially received since my last annual
messrgc was communicable to Congress; has co; :
WINGED inc that the expenditure would serve no
valuable purpose as contributing to common
defense, because all which could be effected by
it, would be to afford channel of but IL feet
depth and of SO temporary character, that I'M
less the work was done Immediately the neccs-
sity for its use would not arise; it could not be
relied OH for vessels of even small draft, the
passage of which it would not permit. In re-
lation to the Mississippi Improvement the Presi-
dent repeats his constitutional objections to in
ternal improvements as applicable to the whole
system, whether they consist of works on land
or in navigabEe waters either of coast or in
terror lakes or rivers.

WASH, May. The documents from the
Kansas commission, by Gov. Robinson, aud en-.

ington, were handed to the Speaker of the House
yesterday by Hon. G.. K. Watson, one of the
com. ON Elections. The commissioners request
that it may remain with the seal unbroken until
their return.
This is the testimony which, it is said, the
Afissourians threatened to destroy.
1t appears by the official documents conlmu-
nicatcd to the House to-day, that our govern
ment has taken efficient measures to prevent the
traffic in Coolies, considering it repletc with i'm
moralitics, revolving and inhuman; its atrocities
strongly resembling those of the African slave
trade It's not permitted BY any treaty, and is
therefore Illegal, and all Americans in China are
warned to dcsist; otherwise they will not only
forfeit the protection Of this govt but will rem
der themselves liable to heavy penalties.
Among the papers is aletter from Mr. Cramp-
ton, dated in April last, informing Sec'y Marcy
Of the systematic manner in which the flag and
vessels Of the United States arc ad,iuced by per-
sons now engaged in the African slave trade.to
Cuba.
Se;'y Marcy replies that he will cndeavor to
use information for the prosecution of all Amer
leans engaged in it.
The Cabinet was in session five hours to-day,
as is understood, on the Champion question:
lie has not yet been dismissed.

MAY 2O.-The n. Y. Councilmcn last even
ing adopted resolution, heretofore offered, en-
tending Inequalities of this city to Mr.. Fillmore
and appropriated $1,000 to defiay expenses.
The Washington correspondent of the Times,
says the Presidents vetoing of the improvement
bills will greatly cxasPcrntc the northwest
Commodore Paulings recent instructions, or
Clering him to show his flag at San Juan, directs
him neither to seek nor avoid collision, but to
protect the American ships and citizens from
illegal interference by the forces of any power.
The Washington correspondent of the Tribune
says the Cabinet was in session till half past
four, celebrating on an answer of the British
Government The character ofthe reply divcrts
the issue of any threatening consequences c%-
cept those necessarily resulting from a s,lspen-
sion of friendly intercourse between the two
governments if dismissal takes place.
The British Government now distinctly diSa-
vyws having entertained any intention to VIC
late onr municipal laws or 10 outrage our ma
tional sovereignty.
1t is understood in diplomatic circles that Mr..
Champion will leave the country Immediately
after receiving his passports, and take the Sec
rotary and other mcmbers of his legation with
him, those not included in our dismissal His
object being to close the embassy entirely.
