TEE OF THIRTY.THREE.

Messrs. Taylor Of Louisiana, Phelps of Mis-
souri,, Rust Of Arkansas, Whiteley of Delaware,
and Winslow Of North Carolina, have Joined in
a minority report of the committee OF thirty.
three. The principal point of the report is to
urge amendments to the Constitution, as pro-
posed by the Crttenden resolutions
If constitutional majority of the people Of
the United States cannot be obtained in sup.
port of these amendments, or the substance Of
them, q dissolution of the Union is represented
rs inevitable.
The report recommends that steps shall be
taken for the calling of Convention of the
States, with view of a peaceable separation
by providing for partition Of the common
property Of the United States, settling the
terms on which the social and commercial in
tercourse between the separate States shall be
conducted, and making permanent arrange.
ment in respect to the navigation Of the Mis-.
sissippi river.
The report gives what the signers of it con-
slider full account of the rise and progress Of
the slavery agitation, which it represents as
the cause of the present revolutionary move
ments, for which it is, in truth, only the pre-.

people, not to have formed pretty clear and
strong opinions of the prospect and interest Of
the State. Mine, such as they are, bear out
fully everything that you have assumed or as
serted concerning those interests and prospects
in your address.
"My humble efforts, therefore, shall not be

too gladly enter into stipulations securing for
ever to the slaveholding States remaining in
the Union, all the outlet for their slaves which
they now have. This is what the extreme
South would willingly concede, and it is what
the North would peremptorily demand in be.
half of both Maryland and Virginia, if they de.
eide to abide in their old connection. 1t is
sometimes said, that if only two, three, or half
a dozen slave States remain in the Union, they
will be too feeble TO enforce any regard for
their peculiar interests. 1t is only the unre-
6ecting who see things in that way. If the
South divides, the part remaining with the
North, instead of being oppressed by the
North, will become the pet of the North. 1t
can scarcely ask anything which will not be
granted The old jealousies will be replaced
by new attachment. Depend upon it, if Vir.
ginia and Maryland remain faithful to the
Union, the free States will take care that they
suffer nothing in respect to the outlet for their
slaves. They will keep it open by stipulation,
or by force, and they will close out the African
slave trade, hermetically, with their squadrons
and their cruisers.

NAVAL INTEILIGENCE-It is now becoming
evident to naval people, that whatever course
political events may take, the home squadron
will be called on for an efficient coast guard.
The arrival at Vera Cruz, announced on Tues.
day, of the Cumberland, was the signal for the
return Of the steam frigate Powhatan and the
frigate Sabine. There is also reason to be.
leve that the sloop st. Louis will come home.
The Mohawk, Crusader, Wyandot, Pocahon.
tas, and Water Witch, are likely to be detailed
as tenders for the Brooklyn, Sabine, and st.
Louis, if the fleet should be called into requi
siton on our seaboard. The newly commits
stoned corvettes Macedonian and Cumberland
would be sufficient to protect our national in
terests in the Gulf for while. Thus the ships
available for home duty would carry an aggre'
gate of AGO men, and one hundred guns.
1t is said that the Virginians have signiied
their intention to resist the removal from Nor.
folk of any United States ship not in commits
sion, by the Federal authorities. The intelli-
gence comes from a naval officer at that place.
Annexed is list of our men.of war now at

pairs in ordinary, frigate Raritan, ditto ditto {;
corvette Germantown, undergoing repairs in

Except in regular naval hands, all these ships
would be worthless for any service.-N.H Her.
The New York Democratic State committee,
in view of the alarming condition ofthe country,
have issued call for an election Of four dele.

Convention at Albany on the 3lst Of January.
The Milwaukee and Mississippi railroad was
sold on the 18th inst by the marshal, on the
order of the United States District Court. 1t

A MUNIFICENT ENDowMENT.-Mr. Vassar, a
we'll known resident of Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
proposes to give 100000 for the endowment
of an institution which is incorporated as the
Vassar Female College.
The COURSE OF TRADE.-The Savannah Re.
publican reports the arrival at that port of four
ships and one barque, which had been prevent.
ed from going into Charleston harbor by the
sinking of three vessels in the ship channel by
the authorities.
DECLINE IN MuLEs-The Paris (Ky.) Flag

RTHE TREASURY NoTEs-We have received
the particulars of the biddings on Saturday for
FIVE millions of Treasury notes. The bids are
said to amount to about twelve millions, al
though we have not had time to foot them up.
They are nearly all within range from nine
to twelve per cent This is a great improvement
upon the biddings few days ago, and indicates
the revival of the public credit, resulting from
the expulsion OF secessionists from the Cabinet.

Washington News,

Letters received here from distinguished
sources in Georgia represent that that State is
willing to "reunite," if she can have guarantees
for what she calls political equality" If tins
means anything, it means that the.secession, on
the part of many who engage in it, is 6nly
party game.
1t is understood that the secession leaders
here have telegraphed to arrest the threatened
attack on Fort Pickens.
Colonel Hayne the South Carolina Commits.
sioner, is still here, and proposes to remain ten
days or fortnight.
1t is not apprehended here that Fort Sumter
will be attacked.
1t is reported that the Alabama members
await instructions from home before leaving
their Seats and that the Georgia members will
hang on" till they get an official notice of the
secession of their State.
Active measures are in progress to have the
course of Virginia, in sending Commissioners
to Washington on the 4th of February, responded
to by similar movements in all the States. Dis
patches have been sent to Harrisburg, Albany,
Columbus, and other State capitals where Legis.
atures are in session, urging the prompt ap-
pointment Of good and able men to confer with
the Virginia Commissioners.
Ex.President Tyler will visit this city in
day or two, for the purpose Of urging the Gov.
ernment to avoid all acts and measures which
might lead to hostilities with the Southern
States. Judge Robinson, of Richmond, Vir.
ginia, will also proceed to South Carolina and
Florida on like errand, as in those States are
Forts Sumter and Pickens and other points
where immediate collisions were more likely to
occur than in other Southern States.
A squad of fifteen marines arrived last night,

A company of about seventy sappers and
