Congressional News.

In the Senate yesterday, on motion Of
Mr.. Sumner, it was resolved that the Pres.
iaent Of the United States be requested to
communicate to the Senate, il, in his opin.
ion, not incompatible with the public in.
terests, a copy Of any recent correspond
ence which may have taken place upon
the subject Of prisoners of war taken by
belligerents in the Mexican Republic.
Mr.. Williams called up his resolution
providing for an adjournment of the Sen.
ate sine die at five o'clock to-day.
Mr.. Sumner said anxious as Senators
were to adjourn, they must all see that
there was unfinished business first to be
transacted. He could only allude to but
not describe it.
Mr.. Williams replied he was not particu.
lar as to time, but thought that some day
and hour ought to be fixed, rs Senators
were dropping off, one by one, and they
would soon be without quorum. If q
time were now fixed, Senators would &C.
commodate themselves to il and remain.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen suggested the reso-
luton be informally laid over, and to this
Mr.. Williams sssented.
Mr.. Anthony from the Committee on
Printing, reported in favor Of printing two
thousand copies Of the next Army Reg
ister, for 1867.
Mr.. Morton offered an amendment to
substitute ten thousand copies. The War
Department, he said, printed only enough
copies for the regular army. He desired
that there should be sufficient number
Of copies to supply volunteer officers, who
felt deep interest in their former asso.
ciates in arms.
Mr.. Cole proposed FIVE thousand copies.
Mr.. Anthony said the war being over, it
was thought two thousand copies were
sufficient. During the war no army reg.
lister was published at all, because the
Secretary Of War thought it was not we'll
to do 50, for the reason that officers on the
rebel side might learn from it much useful
information. In reply to Mr.. Conkling, he
said that two thousand copies would cost
$500.
The amendments OF Mr.. Morton and
Mr.. Cole were severally rejected.
On motion of Mr.. Morton, Of VT, one
was agreed to, providing for the printing
of three thousand copies Of the Army Reg
lister of 1867, and in that form the resolu
tion was passed.
Mr.. johnson presented the credentials
of Matthias f. Manley, Senator elect from
North Carolina; which were laid on the
table.
Mr.. Thayer offered resolution, which
was referred to the Committee on Printing
that there be printed for the use Of the
Senate five thousand copies Of the report
OH the banks and levees Of the Mississippi
river.
On motion of Mr.. Howe, the Senate went
into executive session.

INDISPOSITION Of PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.

For several days past the President has
been suffering from what appears to be a
severe cold. 1t is accompanied by con-
siderable pain in the back and side. His
physician, DIR. MORRIS, says that Mr..
Johnson is troubled with the liver com
plant, and that he must be kept as quiet
as possible. This illness of the President
will probably lead to a more protracted
session of the Senate.

VIII there be War I'm Europe.

The beauties Of the famous European
system are fairly shown by the fact that oil
commercial operations are made uncer-
tain, oil the future OF hundred and fifty
millions Of people is overclouded, anxiety,
suspense, and panic are felt from one end
Of the European continent TO the other,
merely because one man happens to be
suffering from dyspepsia, or wounded am
bition, or has taken personal offence at an
other who lately outwitted him.
The uncertainty in regard to the future
action Of the Emperor Napoleon, and the
fears that he will adopt q warlike policy,
create widespread distrust among. business
men, and great depression in consequence
exists in commercial and financial circles,
both in this city and in Paris" So says
the Atlantic cable. There Is no question
Of what the French people want-of their
future action; nobody stops to ask their
opinion, or breads their policy. The peo.
pies policy everywhere is peace; 1t is only
when one man seizes the supreme power
makes himself master Of people, and d
able TO make them do his will, that we hear
Of war panics, and Of lasting suspicion and
fear, prostrating commerce and running
industry.

THE WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

For several days past there has been
quite panic in Europe occasioned by the
state Of affairs between France and Prussia.
The immediate cause Of this threatened
outbreak appears to be this that NAPo-
LEON deemed the possession Of Luxemburg
indispensable to the security of the French
frontier. He accordingly, some time since,
commenced negotiations with the King Of
Holland for the purchase Of the Grand
Duchy, and its incorporation with the
French Empire. The Fortress Of Luxem-
burg is one of the strongest Notifications
in Europe. This stronghold is held by O
Prussian garrison, and the government
was at once aroused; and, having beer
backed by pretty much all the Germanic
States, firm resistance has been made tC
this transfer. 1t now appears that the
King of Holland rejects ell further over
lures from the French Emperor and ne
gotations have ceased.
NAPOLEON, however, it is said, still insists
that the negotiations commenced shall bC
consummated, and the treaty completed
Here, then, is the danger will NAPoLEol
insist, and will Prussia, with all Of Ger
many, resist even to the dread ultimdtur
Of war? We shall see. The French pee
pie are excited and their pride is aroused
and the same is true Of the people Of Pru
sia. In the meantime extensive militar
preparations are being made in bot
countries. In consequence Of this sta
of things, financial panic has existed f
several days in London, Paris, and all Il
principal cities of Europe.
The conciliatory speech recently mat
by the Marquis De MousuER, Secreta
of State for Foreign Affairs, has had I
effect to lessen, in some degree, the par
which was prevailing.
We trust that LOUIS NAPOLEON will
