WASHINGTON, May 80, 1853.
The discusso on of the report and resolutions from
the Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate
assumed quite beigerent tone yesterday after the
closing my letter. Mr.. Mason alone seemed to pre-
serve his equanimity and to keep within the bounds
of peace All the rest, Mallory, Hale, Sewar1,
Toombs, Douglas, and Wilson raised their g voices
for war" some demanding dsavowal, others Sc.
curity for the future and others still satisfaction
for the past The rivalry to lead the van was AMI
mated. and it is still doubtful who carried of the
palm. Gen. Wilson had the last word, and pro-
posed all amendment empowering the President to
employ the naval force, and send the same to the
scene of the recent eutrages, with instructions TO
capture the ships which have committed or may
commit these beigerent acts. He also suggested
that measures should be taken to prevent our flag
from being abused by pirates on the coasts OF At
RIGA and Cuba, in the Slave-Tfade.
For time the fever ran very high, and 1t really
appeared as if the country about Ia be launched
into all the horrors of bloody war But the eiier-
vescence subsidized almost as quickly az II rose, Tor
when Mr.. Hunter proposed To give the Clvi! Appro-
pratiOn bin preference this Threatening demon
stration he was backed up by majority OF twelve,
aud the vote of twenty supporting Mr.. Masons
movement was about equally divided between patrl-
otto Republicans and patriotic Democrats, who
doubtless felt delighted in such agreeable contact,
as they had all thrown away the scabbard and Tor
once stood upon Il common plattorm-the dead level
OF II common country In this instance all the
"aggressiOns' were charged to the account OF la
gland and il really refreshing spectacle to see
honorable gentlemen who had been recently
pointing their daggers at each others Threats re-
solving to forget their feuds and 10 throttle John
Bull exclusively
Lord Napier has given no such intlmation as has
been ascribed to him, that the British. Ministry
would insist upon the right of visit Such decla-
ration at this time would not only be mpoltic even
if entertained but it would be- altogether inconsistent
with his previous assurances of having had cor
respOndence on this subject, and his belief that the
offensive acts would be promptly aud fully dlsayow-
ed Tie facts OF this case axe sufficiently c0mph-
Gated already without efforts being made to excite
undue preudices i'll the public mind, or circulating
misrepresentation which can only result l1Jurousy
As Judge Douglas is instructed by the Territorial
Committee t. prepare bills organizing governments
in Arizona and Dacotah, he should not forget to IN
sert the clause which was urged with so much
determination on the occasion when Arizona was
unceremOniOusly thrust aside, after the Committee
had agreed upon the policy of establishing gov
eminent The principle he maintained then was
the principle he asserted on the floor of the Senate
in regard 10 Kansas, viz: that when State gov
eminent about 10 be organized, the Constitution
should be submitted 10 a fair vote of the people and
the frauds which had dsgraced the history OF
Popular Sovereignty" in Kansas should not be
repeaed The country expects this at the hands OF
Judge Douglas, and viii be satisfied with nothing
less than It's distinct assertion his open aud unre-
served opposition. II admits Of no compromise, and
whatever may be the influences which now con-
spire toward the concession of these Territorial Gov
| ernments-and they are known TO be urgent, and
stimulated by pecuniary zeal through various comb
natons-thcy should not defect him for an instant
from that even tenor in which safety is only 70 be
found. Public attention viii be anxi0usly fixed upon
the new bile expecting 70 see this principle vnd-
Gated. or lie voluntary champion enlisted against
them.
