In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. CONFESS again got up
the bill for the protection of American citizens
abroad and it gave rise to few hours debate Mr.
Patterson of n H., replied to the speech of Mr. Con-
mess Saturday, taking strong and positive ground
against the reprisal clause Mr. Morton followed in
nearly the same strain. He did not like the notion
Of placing SO much power in the bands of any one
man as the bill proposes to invest in the President
Of the United States; it would lead to declaration
of war in thirty days. Mr.. Williams offered an
amendment that In the event Of the Imprisonment OF
one of our citizens the President shall demand the
reasons for such arrest and that if they appear I'M
reasonable OF insufficient, he shall demand the re-
lease OF such prisoner and if his release is delayed
made speech full of force and point In support Of
his proposition and on the general question Of cit
Eenship. Mr.. Stewart supported Mr.. Williams. lie
did not particularly for threat of war; England
would not declare hostilies on any such pretence

protection everywhere and under all
circumstances The subject was then dropped for
