WASHINGTON, JlnuarI l0-4p. m.-PreS-
dent Buchanan and Gen. Scott have both cx-
pressed their qualification, this mnrninS, Al
the morning of the 9th from the batteries on
Morris Island.
\ large number uf the Southern members
still in Congress, csilc,, III b,nly, III Prcsi-
dent Buchnrsi Yesterday (WcdnrS,iay.) AMI
earnestly protested against Srnnling any rein.
urcclncntS Or any vessels of any kind tu the
South. umic-S the determined policy ot the
Administration was to provoke 4 buvdy and
disastrous civil war.
Gen. Scott has gained entire control over
the policy Of the Administration. President
Buchanan affects great surprise ut the idea
that the batteries in Charleston hsrbor should
have opened fire upon the Star Of the West
yesterday morning.
The Constitution newspaper, of this morn
ing, Published letter from Vice President
Breckenridge to the Governor OF Kentucky,
urging union among tic Southern States as
the only escape from civil war.
Senator Davis to-day, opened the hsttery
against The President. His speech is constl
cred to have been the able>t OF his life. Even
the Northern Democrats applaud"d it. He
denounced the course of the Administration
relative to South Carolins. and sustained tie
latter He inpurcd the Republicans to save
the country the terrible effects Of civil war.
WAsnlNGroS, January l1.-Analtercation,
which occurred yesterday between Senator
Tuonbs and General Scott, is quite the town
talk. 1t appesTs that they were both present
at dinner party last night, when the convcr-
s,ion turned upon the fate of the Star Of the
Vest. Mr.. Tuo,ubs said that if the vessel
mad been sunk, he wished those who had or
dcred her to Charleston had been OH board of
her at tie time This drew sharp rcjoinder
from General Scott, when Mr.. Toombs gave
him the lie. Scott. it is said, promptly rose
to resent the insult, but was restrained by
the gentlemen present, and every effort Was
made to hush The matter up. Rumor says,
however. that the end is not yet.
The President regrets exceedingly Ander-
sons first lote to Gov. Pckens. Mr.. Buchs-
nan thinks it would have been better if An
,lerSun had communicated with the Govern.
mant here brtnre writing it.
If Tie Administration determines to refill
force Anderson at all hazards, it is under
Stoo | that the brooklyn will lie outside the
llarbor and shell tl.e batteries, while the ,IIsr-
riet Lane is TO escort the Star Of the West to
Fort Sumter.
Lieut.. Talbot arrived to-i!ay, and held
long conference with the President and Gen
ersl Scott. He reports that Fort Sumter can
hold out two months; that it has plenty Of
good water and a supply IF fuel, but that coal
is much nceled understand the conclusion
is to send supplies under the protection of n
,nan-ui.war, at all hazards. Every pnrt Vi
tue hsrbor las been clo,ely examined on the
charts of the Coast Survey office, which are
now in tho possession Of Gen. Scott.
!Ander>on'S forbearance in not firing upon
Forts Moultrie and Norris ishishly approved.

Star of the West received several parting shots
FROM Morris Island, but all fell short. The

Charleston with the proper means Of defence
and effect landing.
The Cabinet were in session until Il late
hour last night considering the dispatches
brought by Lieut.. Talbot. According 10 ap-
pearcnccs the Administration will maintain
its present position towards South Caroline.
In The Senate Mr. Seward, in his great
speech, said that there could be no such thing
IS pcacc;.1le secession. lie advocates the re-
peal Of the personal liberty bill, and said that
the Constitution should never be so altered as
to give to Congress the power to abolish siave-
ry in the States. The territorial question
should be settled by admitting all the present
Territories rs States, aud Kansas with the
Wyandotte Constitution, and that laws should
he enacted To prevent the invasion of one
State by another, and that there should be
;wo Pacific Rail Roads, one Northern and
one Southern.
In the House, the Mississippi members pre-
sented their letter OF withdrawal.
The Navy Bill was up. Mr.. Pryor wanted
to strike out four million for pay OF officers
AID men, and he said that he would sink The
navy. rather than it should be used against
his countrymen. He said that the imbecie
Administration Was controlled by All aspiring
