The Committee on Foreign Relations, in the Sem
ate, had full meeting this morning and considered
the proposition from Mr. Slidell to abrogate that
clause Of the AshburtOn Treaty which requires
naval force to be maintained on the Coast of Africa.
After some discussion formal division was taken
with the following result:
YEAS-Mason, Slide AMI Pole.
NAfc-Foot, Crttenden, Douglas and Seward.
Thus the movement was defeated by one ma
jointly, much to the surprise and modification of
the Administration side. The Committee then ad-
jOurned till Thursday, when Mr.. MasOn's views
concerning the proceedings in the Gulf will be pre-
scented for consideration.
The judiciary Committee of the Senate submit
ted no report in the cases of Messrs. Bright and
Fitch, because they could not prepare one to which
they dared subscribe their names; hence the simple
resolution affirming the right of the squatters to
membership without reason of any kind, accom-
panied by the voluminous evidence. This dodge is
intended to justify the majority 10 sustaining
the claimants by seeking cover under the wing of
the Committee and pretending to have no time to
investigate the subject.
Mr.. Bsyard ia adverse TO their preteDsions, but
will hardly take sufficiently decided ground to give
his opposition effect.

standing the admission of the State, and claims
per diem, which the Sergeant-at-Arms has refused
since the State bill was signed by the President.
The extension of the Session will depend en-
tiIely upon the progress of business during the
next three days. According to the opinion of the
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
eight original appropriation bills are yet behind
beside che or two amended by the Senate, where
the extension of the Capitol item was inserted
which VII! now probably be adopted by the
House.
Mr. Simmons speech to day, in defense of
bcyne valuation, as an amendment to the Loan BILL
was valuable for its instructive facts aud conclusive
reasoning. 1t showed that the Treasury was
feeced about ten millions annually by fraudulent
invoicing among foreign importers under the ad
raIortm system, and that the estimates of the
Secretary had no sufficient basis
With the exception of four Douglas men and
Mesrs Letcher, Millson and Geo. W. Jones, the
Democracy voted solid against Lewis Campbelrs
right TO q seat, rejecting him by twenty-five ma
iority, and voting in Vallandigham by five. Mr..
Sherman voted sfirmatively to reconsider. 50 the
South swallowed that Ethiopian, as predicted,
without WY face. A dinner is proposed to be
given BY certain of the members to Mr.. Campbell.
Recent advices from Kansas persuade Mr.. Alex
auder Stephens and others that the English swinde
will be rejected but they feel assured that the
State will be kept out Of the Union for several
wears for want of sufficient emigration.
