The Administration does not appear destined to
succeed with its policy even in the Committees or
papized with exclusive reference to the possession
Of power. Since the papers in regard to the pro-
ceedings 10 the Gulf were transmitted to tho
Senate, several special meetings of the Committee
on Foreign Relations have been held, with view
of making some recommendation adapted to the
emersercy AT these conferences various sugges.

waId proposition to abrogete 80 much OF the Ash
burton treaty as required naval force oil 81
guns 10 be maintained on the Coast OF Africa After
some discussion division was demanded and It WAS
defeated by one majority: Yeas, Messrs Mason,
Polk ard Slidell Nays. Messrs. Foot, Crittenden,
Douglas and Seward. This result was somewhat
unexpected and took q spoke out OF the

dents sanctions and hence the vote has more sig
nificance from that fact "a he is regarded as the
next friend and peculiar spokesman OF the W mite
Rouse. If the proposition had been carried au
impulse would have been given to the slave fade
