Nicaragua and Gen. walker.

In Congress on Tuesday, the House of Represen-
tatiVes proceed to the confederation of the
buttons reported By the Committee on Foreign At
fairs to the effect that, inasmuch IS the United
States never consent that any foreign power shall
have The iis hit to enter its territory with the view
of forcibly carrying away any person who may be
therein, it became the duty of the govern -4ent to
diseyow and disclaim all right its part to enter
any foreign State with which We are on Terms Of
amiiy for similar purpose that officers Of the
United States have right TO use the forces under
their command in the territory Of any foreign State
at the lance of or for the benefit Of said Slate,
unless previously authorized by Congress; and that,
as these bills are in accordance with the opinions
expressed By the Presid Mt in his messages to Cons
gress action is necessary on the part Congress
Mr.. Richie, of Pennsylvania, proposed,
substitute that he thanks of Congress be, and he
same are hereby, presented to Commodore Paulding
and his officers and men for the capture on the 9Th
of December 1857 at Punta Arenas, of William
Walker, and others, associated with him, engaged
in carrying on an expedition against the govern
ment of Nicaragua, set on foot within the territory
and in viostion of the laws, of the United States.

modore Paulding in capturing Gen. " alker and his
men was without the authority of law, and meets
