Washington, April 10.
The House Committee on Foreign affairs
this morning, directed Mr. Clngman to re-
port resolution abrogating tho Clayton
Bulwer treaty, condemning it in both its
American as well as British construction, and
authorizing the President to take immediate
steps for its abrogation.
The report that the Senate Committee
on Commerce had unanimously agreed to
report against all appropriations for River
and Harbor improvements is incorrect. Mr..
Hamlin did not agree to tho proposition.
Tho Joint Committee of Conference, on
the Kansas bill, met this morning; all being
present. Mr.. Green, in behalf of the ma
jority Of the Senate Committee, submitted
several proposed notifications of tho Senate
bill, mono of which proved acceptable to the
House Committee.
Propositions were then solicited from the
House Committee.
Mr.. English responded that at the next
meeting he would submit new bill, the
precise character of which has not transpircd,
bnt it is understood to he on new line,
proposing substitute for the Lecompton
Ordinance, and that the question Of admis-
sion under the Locompton Constitution be
referred to fair vote of the people of Kan
sas at an early day
If the majority vote for Kansas to come
into the Union, it will come in at once, uu-
der the Presidents proclamation. If they
vote against it, then the bill provides for tho
formation of n new Constitution whenever
the population there equals the number re-
Quired for a member of the L. S. House of
Representatives.
The Committee adjourned till tomorrow.
There is some reason 10 believe that Mr..
English's bill will bo agreed to by both
Houses.
HoUsE.-The House went into Commit
tee of the Whole on the Washington police
bill.
Washington, April 90.
1t is generally believed that the Presi-
dent will accept tho two regiments of vol.
unteers offered from Kentucky and Ohio
The regiment from Ohio consists of five
companies from Cincinnati, one from Co.
lumbus, ono from Toledo, one from Spring
field, ono from Mt. Gilead, and ono from
Coshocton. Nearly all the officers and
many of the men served in in the Mexican
war; Tho entire regiment can bc ready for
the field at'short notice.
Mr.. English's bill is still under the con-
sideration of the Senate committee of con-
ference with fair prospect of ultimate
agreement. Many considcrcr this already
certain.
Messrs. Seward and Howard dissent.
The several political parties, this after
noon and evening, were much interested
in privately discussing the measure, as to the
success Of which no definite notion can be
| formed
Ii is probable the conference committee
will report tomorrow.
Many of the letters addressed to the man
ayers of the bogus lotteries recently bro
ken up at the North, enclosing thousands Of
dollars, have been forwarded here to be re-
stored to their deluded authors.
Washington, April 81.
= Mr.. English's bill was offered to the con.
ference committee yesterday. The MAORI.
ty accepted it without hesitation, and when
Mr.. Howard appealed to Mr.. English to al
low him to insert short clause providing
for the submission of tho Leavenworth Con
stitution, he declined.
Mr. English then proposed to report i'm
medately, but Seward asked for an adjourn
ment till tomorrow in order to have time
for consultation. The majority consented tc
only two hours delay, and the matter wa.
accordingly postponed till 2 O'clock A
the appointed hour Messrs. Howard anC
Seward attended by no othor member o
the committee were present, aud after wait
ing some time. they retired.
1t is rumored that in the meantime, sew
eral Southern members of the House, in
cluding Quitman, Miles, &c, had signifeC
their dissent from the arrangement, and tina
Hunter and others of the Senate had done
tho same thing; hence the non-attendancc
of the majority of the committee at o'clock
Senator Fitch's son was to-day confirmed
as District Attorney for Northern Illinois
by vote of 26 to 10.
Mr.. Cadwallader is not yet confirmed a
District Judge in place Of Kane
P. S.-The Times correspondence say
it is Bates, son of the ex-senator, who i
