Reassembling of the Senate.
Special Despatch to The BUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-A quorum of Senators
was present this morning, when the Senate was
called to order by Vice President Colfax.
Rev. DR.. Newman, Chaplain of the Senate, in
prayer invoked the Divine blessing upon the
labors of the commission, and expressed the
hope thai there might be continued peace
between England and America.
The proclamation of the President convening
the Senate in extra session was then read, after
which Mr.. Anthony offered q resolution ap-
pointing committee to wait on the President
and inform him that the Senate was ready to
receive any communication he had to make.
Messrs. Anthony and Gasserly were appointed.
The Senate then took recess till 1 o'clock.
1t is expected that
The Treaty will be at once Communicated.
The sentiment of the Senate is against con-
sidering the treaty in open session. 1t is not
improbable, however, that the full text of the
treaty will be made public.
A majority of the Senators here seem to be in
favor of the treaty, and it is not thought the
session will last over two weeks.

The Maryland 5th Regiment, which arrived this
morning, gave a military salute to President
Grant as they passed the northern portico of the
Executive Mansion. Their appearance and SOL
dierly movements were much admired. They
