Marshal would reply in the morning This
letter was seli on Wednesday forenoon to Mr..
Donaldson, and on Thursday morning Messrs.
w. T. Roberts, o. w. Babcock. and Josiah
Miller, went up to Lecompton, to obtain the
Msrshals answer.
Mr.. Hutchinson left Lawrence with a note to
Colonel Sumner at the time the committee left
for Lecompton.
LATEST FROM LAWRENCE.
Mr. Whitney, a citizen of Lawrence, was de-
spatcned by the people there last night about
midnight, and rode 10 LeaYenyort4 in FIVE
hours, with note to the Congressional tnvesti.
eating Committee, asking them to use their
exertions to induce Colonel Sumner to protect
the city.
Mr.. Josiah Miller was one of the committee
appointed to wait on Mr.. Donaldson for his reply
to the note by the people of Lawrence. He
went to Lecompton with his colleagues, and
say the Marshal. The purport of the Marshars
answer was, thai he did not believe the promises
of the people of Lawrence that ne regarded
them IS rebels and traitors, and that they
should know his demands when he came
When they were ready to return, the Marshal
gave them a written pass.
When the committee were at short distance
from Lecompton, they were overtaken by an
armed company of men, who ordered them to
halt. Their leader stepped up to Mr., Miller,
and said, 81 want you to go back with u.s."
Messrs. Roberts and Babcock wished to return
with him, but the company compelled them to
proceed to Lawrence. When arrested, Mr.
Miller showed them the MarshaPs pass. The
leader said he did not care about the MGrshal /:
he must 90 with him. No writ of any kind
was produced.
Mr.. Jenkins, a merchant of Lawrence, was
arrested by a mob at Westport or Kansas City
on Wednesday. Hr. jenkins is Free State
man, but has never taken an active part In the
movements of the squatter party. No warrant,
of course, for he was arrested in Missouri.

dates; No warrant Of course; for he was ar

freedom of conscience; that of Vienna the
emancipation of negroes aud the Treaty of
Paris the freedom of the seas. 1t was England
who made the concession, and she should have
the honor of it. What sacrifice was it to Russia
without navy? To Austria And even France
must gain more than she would lose. Of course,
the country which was mistress of the seas
would be the one to lose by such an agreement.
England has long "ruled the waves" and for
her to give up an advantage which she might
possess, in time of war, over her enemies, is
a generous and praiseworthy act. .t.4..
A singular document has made its appear
ance in the journals here-an address by the
Archbishop of Moscow. 1t was transmitted by
St. Petersburgh correspondent of DInde-
penddnce. This address shows the feelings of
the people Of Russia respecting the peace. 1t
opens as follows
"What is your thought on the termination of
the war, oh, you faithful sons of Russia? What
is the sentiment of your hearts Do they feel
that peace has entered therein, or is their anger
not yet extinguished? Does the blood still
boil with Indignation at the thought of the in
Justice which caused the war against us, and
which aggravated its evils?
" Let us bear in mind the law; let us obey
the chief of peace; let US not remember the
evil that has been done US ; let us forgive the
notifications let US throw aside all rancor
against those who detest peace, and still more
against those who proposed to put an end to
the war, and held out to Us the hand in sign of
peace. Let anger be appeased. Let discon-
tent cease. Let peace be made, not only for
the armies, for trade, and for the public inter
est let it be also in the heart, and at the bot
tom of your souls"
The Treaty of Peace has been fully discuss
ed in Parliament during the present week, and
an address to her Majesty agreed to in both
Houses. There was brilliant debate of two
nights duration in the House, but the treaty was
sustained by an overwhelming majority. The
terms of the address are very hattering to the
Government, and the ease with which it was
carried must have been cheering to the previ.
ously downcast spirits of the Premier.
Last asst Sunday was observed as day of gen
era thanksgiving in the churches Of the King
dom. great proportion OF The dissenting
clergymen observed it, though not reading the
prayer prepared for the occasion.
There is trouble in Greece again. Lord Pal
merstons operations respecting the wretched
condition of that country had been published
IN an Athens journal, and the journal had been
destroyed by the Government. The French
Admiral had sent troops to occupy various
places between Thebes and Athens, to guard
the public from depredators, and this act had
caused great excitement among the Grecian
authorities.
The Queen has made Gen. Williams a bar
onet, and calls upon the House of Commons to
furnish her with the means to give him $4,000
year. There is no doubt but the House will
comply with her wishes. AMERICAN.

erence to himself, Us connected with the fracas
above mentioned
Mr.. Toombs also did the same, and took oc.
casion to add, that when the affair occurred

than that Mr.. Sumner received just what he
deserved, and nothing more.
MIR. Butler addressed the Senate I'm n few
remarks, wherein he stated that Mr.. Sumner
in saying that his Mr.. Butler's) personal ~.
marks had called for the language that Mr..

to the record to prove that he had long since

Jude IN any way to anything the Senator (Mr.

Mr.. Wilson explained that his colleagues tes-
timony might be wrong in unmportant partic-
Uiars, on account of the confusion of his situa-
ton in the affair and thus accounted for his
mistakes, to which Messrs. Slidell, Douglas.
and Ioombs, had alluded.
In the course of his remarks he took occa

Brooks on Senator Sumner, as base, Outrageous,
and cowardly.

said, you are a liar"
Great excitement here occurred forsa mo.
ment, when
Mr.. Stuart called to order, and argued that
all the current proceedings were out of order.
Mr.. Butler then apologzed to the Senate for
using the words that had last escaped him.

Wilson and Foster, the hour for the special or.
der arrived; and the Central American cues
ton with Britain was taken up.

called the previous question on its third read

Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr. CrAiOe

the opponents Of such legislation as the bill
proposed might be heard but Mr.. w. dec6n-

OF THE SUMNER ASSAULT

Washington, May a6.-The House Commit
tee of Investigation waited on Mr.. Sumner to-
day, in discharge of their duty regarding the re-
cent assault. He was in bed, but gave his tes
timony, and was also cross-examined. He was
unable to sit up during the visit of the Com
mittee, but did so short time to-day. He is
still very weak, and his physicians counsel him
not to move out of the house for week.
The following is Mr.. Summers statement on
oath: 81 attended the Senate as usual on
Thursday, the 22d of May. After some formal
business, message was received from the
House of Representatives, announcing the death
of a member of that body from Missouri. This
was followed by brief tribute to the deceased,
from Mr.. Geyer, of Missouri, when, according
to usage, and out of respect to the deceased,
the Senate adjourned. Instead of leaving the
Chamber with the rest on the adjournment, l
continued in my seat, occupied with my pen.
