BY TELEGRAPH
TO THE
Daily Kennebec Journal.
FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. c., %. General Sickles
telegraphs from Madrid that both houses oil
Congress have accepted by decisive majorities
the colonial policy of the ministry for Porto
Rico, which involves the separation of the
civil from the military government, and the
extension to Porto Rico of the same provin-
cial form of government which exists in
Spain, with municipal governments and town
and local officers. Two of the ministers re-
signed and their successors, who are in ac-
cord with the rest of the ministry and with
Congress, were cordially received by Con-
gress. The policy of the ministry is under
stood to have been opposed by vote of GO
Senators against G, and by PA against IL in
the lower house. General Sickles further
telegraphs that the President of the Council
announced that bill for the immediate
emancipation of slavery in Porto Rico will be
speedily introduced.
The Louisiana Committee have issued an
address to the people of the United States,
who they believe are not unconcerned specta-
tors of the events now transpirng within the
limits Of that State, and of which it is prob
able that no parallel is found in history. The
committee repeat as utterly false the insinua-
zion that they are merely allies and agents of
Gov. Yarmouth. They are not the repre-
whatever. So far as Warmouth's past con-
duct is concerned few, if any of them, have
not been among his most pronounced oppo-
nents. while in those measures for which he
has been so loudly denounced he had for ad
visers and associates and o-adjutators the
very men who now assail him, including es-
pecially Pinchbeck, Antoine and others,
whose names figure more conspicuously in
these proceedings. The committee declare
in reply to another insinuation that they are
no parties to or have knowledge of any polit-
zeal trickery intended to defeat the true voice
of the people, that they do not believe any
such existed and that they would not be here
unless they could proclaim conscienciously
their conviction that the men who have been
toisted into the offices of the State have been
not merely irregularly and unlawfully INSTALL
ed, but we're not elected by the people and
are not the choice of the majority of the vot-
ing population Of Louisiana. The committee
add that all they have asked of the govern
nent is to make a candid and impartial inves-
legation of the facts, and then proceed to give
a detailed statement of all the facts connected
