From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-As much interest has been
occasoned by the late events at Vera Cruz in con.
nechon with the movement of the Spanish fleet, the
result OF the inquiries at proper sources warrants
the assertion that there not the slightest foundation
for the statement widely published, that Capt.
Jarvis interfered in the affair which took place
some weeks ago between the Captain of the Spanish
brig Berenguela, and the Juarez Government
Nor did Capt. Jarvis send note to the Spanish
Commodore, condemning his course, or act in any
other disappearing manner.
The relations between these two officers were OF
the most cordial character, without reference to po
litical questions, and Major Ancamago, when com
ing to New Orleans ON board the frigate Pocahon
tas was so gallantly treated that he expressed him
self in the most complimentary terms toward the
officers of our Navy. 1t is further reliably ascer-
tanned that the action of the Spanish Commodore
was suspended and the squadron withdrawn to Ha.
vana in consequence ofthe pressing representations
OF Spanish subjects in Vera Cruz, through the
French Consul, acting Spanish Consul, to the
Captain General of Cuba. A bombardment, they
stated, would not only destroy much of their prop
erty, but peril their lives.
70 further hostile demonstrations will be made
in the absence of advices from Madrid 1t is also
known that the commander of our Gulf squadronsis
not left to his discretion but he will act under
the advice of Minister McLane, in the event of a
Spanish bombardment of Vera Cruz, ,and extend all
possible protection to American citizens and their
property, including the landing of Marines at Vera
Cruz for that purpose

FURTHER BY THE PONY EXPRESS.


ST. JosEPHs, October l0.-The following addi
tional intelligence is embraced in the advices by
the Pony Express from CALIFORNIA;:
The accounts from Oregon are confused and con-
tradctory rendering it difficult to arrive at cor
rect condition of affairs regarding the Senatorial
election. 1t seems that the House on the Goth
passed resolution inviting the Senate to meet in
joint convention for the election of United States
Senators. The Senate, although without quorum,
accepted the invitation and went into convention
with the House. After twenty ballots without a
choice, the convention adjourned sine die, each
branch of the Legislature retiring to its separate
organization. The House adjourned sine die
on the motion of Mr.. Holbrook Republican. The
Senate was keeping up its organization by ad
Journing from time to time without quorum.
The Oregon State Constitution contains clause
which saws that neither House should have power
to adjourn without the consent of the other for
longer period than three days.
The Senate refused to adjourn, and insisted that
the adjournment of the House was without their
consent, and unconstitutional. On the other hand
the members of the House claim that there was no
Senate to ask consent Of the Senate had been or
gained without quorum. Soon after the deter
mination of the Senate not to adjourn became
known, and after many of the members of the
House had left for their homes, the Speaker of the
Senate convened all the members of the latter body
that the Sergeant alarms could possibly summon.
The House, as thus organized, proceeded to do
business for several hours, taking notice of the
adjournment sine die. Many of the members who
voted for an adjournment sine die took part in the
The House adopted resolution appointing five
members to confer the President of the Senate and
Governor of the State, to devise some plan by
which the organization of the Senate may be per-
fected. .,. ,-...
later despatch, dated the 25th, states that the
six absent Senators who had thus far prevented an
organization of the Senate, had returned to Sa
lem, and purposed taking their seats.

party engaged in digging wells in the desert, on
