outroges on American vessels BY British cruisers.
TIE Oregon bill was taken Up o. the motion Of Ir.

Vice President. A discussion ensued upon Mr..
Trumbulrs amendment, postpoing the subject til
December. 1t was supported By Messrs. Fitz-
patrick, Hale and Trumbul and opposed by Messrs.
Gwip, Douglas, Seward and Kicg. Some remarks
Of Mr. King respecting the propriety of colonizing

The agreement entered into between the Provis-
ional Government of Venezuela and the diplomatic
corps in Venezuela in respect to the late President
Monagas and his family, is printed in the Caracas
papers, Monsgas is formally surrendered up to the
Venezuelan Government, but it is at the same time
stipulated that he shall not be subjected to trial nor
in any way matreated, but shall, on the contrary
be treated with every honor and regard, and that
during his stay in Venezuela his security shall be
guaranteed by the Government. His family are to
reside with him, and while he remains he Is to have
guard of honor and commissioners, resident III his
house, to see that he is protected from insult. He
is 10 be allowed free communication with the men,
bers of the diplomatic corps and all other persons
not the object of political suspicion; and after
short detention-merely designed it would SEEM
TO save the honor of the GoverOment-he is to re
ceive a passport and safe conduct to such foreign
country as he may select, the Government TO be at
liberty to fix the term ofbis Punishment The only
thing II quired Of MOnagas is declaration In writ
ing that he puts hmself at the disposal of the
Government. and that he will take no share 10 any
cOunter-reyolutiOnar projects. The popular idea
of requiring him TO disgOrge any part of mis- prop
city invested abroad would seem TO be abandoned.
The diplomatic Ieprest ntaves Of the United States
Great Britain France, Brazil, Spain and the
Netherlands, are parties to this arrangement, the
American Minister being the first sgner of the
protocol. 1t is probable that the Provisional Gov
eminent, several of whose members have had
share in the Monasas Administration, are in reality
quite obliged to the Diplomatic corps for afordng
them an excu;e for lot giving up the Monagas
family 10 popular vengeance.
Gen Paez, to whom commission was sent in-
viting bis return, has concluded it is ga TO con-
tDue III this city, at least till the Constitution
Of Venezuela is adopted.

TIE Indians, however, were still en7ed the small
portion Of territory of which, by the treaty now
formed with them, they were still left in possession
and hence the new Indian war, by which the State
has been disturbed for year or two past
The general Government however, having learned
wisdom by experience, have mainly confined them
selves to efforts to induce the remaining Indians TO
emigrate, and the departure for Arkansas OF the
chief Billy Bowegs with some forty warriors and
their familes seems to be regarded in Florids as u
termination of the war. A remnant Of the Indian
population Of Florida is. however, still left behind,
including Sam Jones, who ha, played consplcu-
Gus part since the commencement of hostilities up
ward of twenty years ago, not indeed as warrior,
for which even then he was too old, but as
prophet ard medicine man. In fact, the number
of the warriors who remain behind g estmated at
not less than that of those who have lately en-
barked-quite enough to give occasion yet for new
alarms, and new expenditures.

SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1853.

SENATE.-Mr. Foot withdrew his resolution that the
Senate re assemble IN the fret Monday in November
and introduce the same proposal in The shape OF a BILL
which was read twice and laid over for further con.
sidera'ion.
Mr.. Hunter made All earnest endesvor to take up
the deficiency bill.
Messrs Fessenden and Trumbul. with equal ear
restness oppOsed taking il up until the Senate shall
have time to consider it, Mr. Fesaenden saying that
the Administration knew these necessities in January
as well as it does now, and MI. Trumbull saying be.
lief exists that much of this deficiency ariees from
contracts entered into without sanction oil law and
from usurpation on the part of the Government IN
quarterng army in Kansas and sending another 10
winter in the Rocky mountains.
Finally the bill was made the special order for half
past l2 o'clock on Monday. Mr. Hale previously
moving to amend by adding an additional section
that no contract be hencsforth entered into by any
officer of the Government except under law or under
an appropriation adequate for its fulhlDeDt.
The act of May ls', 1920, so provides, except IN
the uuartermaster's department, and Mr.. Hale'a
amendment is intended TO cover that omission.
The Pacific Rail Road bill was taken up. Mr..
BENJAMIN considered II obvious that they could NOT
agree on any route, with diminished Treasury loans
and prospective expenses he could not think that
Senators imagine they could pass the bill
He would therefore move, as test vote, thar tne
further consideration of the subject be postponed till
December.
Mr. Gwin said he would consider such vote as an
indication that the Administration does not inteno 10
give any aid to connect The Atlantic wtS .ne RACINE
Mr.. johnson said that the spirit Of sectionaisn was
30 strong that there no hope OF route offering
Justice to the South. He would therefore vote to
postpone.
Mr.. Houston moved that the Eastern terminus be
u Arkansas opposite Memphis, and proceeded to
speak in favor of the E Paso route.
