Mr \\ RIGHT replied that the Committee had nothing before them not reported upon in refer ence to the currency. Whether the President intended to make any report or reference to any such report he would not say, and knew nothing more about il than the Senator from Kentucky. That being tho case said Mr CLAY, and it | being dear that tho Executive intended nothing, I and would do nothing, and no’proposition being | before tho Committee of Finance, he should move tho following resolution : Jtesolved hi/ the Senate and House of Jit presentaliret of die I nited States of America \ in Congress assembled, That no discrimination | shall he made its (o (lie currency or medium of payment in the several blanches of the public revenue or in debts or dues to the lipvcriin:».Ql— and that Until othonvi. e ordered bv Congress the notes of; .mild hanks which aio payable, an I paid ! on demand in the legal currency of Iho I'nited I | State* under suitable prescriptions to be forth, i with proscribed and promulgated by the Sccnl.r- J Iry o! th« I'leasury shall be received in payment I of tho revenue, and of debts or dues to tho Go . vernment, and shall be subsequently disburse d ; in a course ol public expenditure to nil public 1 j creditors who ate willing to receive them.

Tho discussion on this bill was carded on by Mc.-srs Calhoun, Davis, Tipton, Sevier, Swill, j and others. In the House i f Representatives, several pri j vale petitions were presented in Committee. JOHN F. KENNEDY, elected a member from Maryland, appeared and was qualified and took his seat.

Mr. CAMUKELING said he was compelled to object, as there was other business which stil more urgently demanded the attention of the House. Mr. CALHOUN moved to suspend the rul e s: vith a view to take up tho bill, and tho motion was lost. Mr. E. WHITTLESEY moved to suspend lire rules in order to enable gentlemen to present petitions—lost.

Mr. MENEFEE renewed and concluded his remarks on lire subject, contending that the De port was irregular and unauthorised Ho asked it a motion to postpone indefinitely would be itt order. i The SPEAKER said the motron to postpone i to a day, certainly had the precedence. I Mr. PICKENS moved to lay tho whole subject | on tho table. A call of lire House was ordered and proceeded ; in liir some time, when it was suspended.

Air ELMORE had, ho said listened to this debate with patience and attention, and his views on the subject Wore impunged. He was left in tho dark, also as to the views of the House in case the resolution passed. Ho did not under stand the report. Were the Committee to go back to tho original resolution? If so, he should foci it his duly to enquire whether tf>e privilege j of the 'House had been violated or not. Let tho House send back tho proceedings with that impugned, and ho must again put his toe to the mark and do his duty. If he found that the , privilege of the House had been violated, he , should fee! it his duty to report tho fact, however ] disagreeable it might be. But he would rejoice la be relieved from it altogether. , Mr PICKENS said it was obvious, (hat tho ] motion ii it prevailed, would place his friend and colleague (Mr Elmore) in an ombarassed situa- l lion, and ho moved to renew the resolution so as j to instruct the Committee to omit tho reasoning and resolutions for the punishment of the parties implicated. This subject was debated for some time, and was still under discussion when lliis packo. was closed. M. GJjiec of Pensacola Gazette, 25 tfi, 1^!?S. Important from Mexico. The United Stales’ schr Grampus, Sanders, L out Commanding, arrived hero this morning from Vera Cruz, and brings intelligence that the French squadron is now blockading the Mexican coast. It was supposed that the casllo of San Juan de Ulloa would be immediately invested and that from its condition it could not hold out any length of time. The Mexicans were willing to pay the indemnity demanded by lire French, but lire latter required some apology, which the | Mexican government refused to make. One in- | dividual had oili-red 10,000 horses arid thechurch had agreed to supply one million ofdollars to car-! ry on the war. The French squadron consists of one frigate and five brigs as war, to which additions are ex ■peeled. Tho French ships of War at Martinique !

TEXAS. j Wo trust that the intelligence lately received j of the request of the Tcxian Congress to their | President, to have their petition to the United I States for annexation immediately withdrawn, j may not prove correct. So important a measure j would scarcely be adopted without mature and ! earnest consideration. Precipitation in an affair i ol such vital consequence to both countries is i greatly to be deprecated ; and premathre haste on the part of Texas might be hereafter succeeded by fruitless regrets. It is not unlikely that Texas may be annoyed and indignant at the vexatious delays which have interposed in the final determination of this ques tion. Our country has certainly evinced but a lukewarm zeal in acceding to the petitions of tho young republic, to become incorporated with the slates of the Union. The eternal hue and cry kept up by the abolitionists in Congress, may justly bo regarded as the great obstacle to tho ac quiescence of our national legislature. Petitions from iho non-slaveholding slates, How into Con* gress at nearly every sluing ; they are all hostile to the project of annexation ; and are composed of elaborate attempts to connect the Texian ques., tion with the euppo-ed perpetuation of slavery Surrounded by a pile of anti-abolition and nnli- Texian memorials, it is scarcely to be od ai, that Congress feels averse to committing | itself upon a subject of so much interest; one, 100, which evokes such a diverse expression of j sentiment on the part of the opposite sections of | Union. Texas, however, perceives in this pro* j eras iualion an unwillingness to accept the prupo ied amalgamation.and thinking probably that ber j patriotic proffers have not been treated with the dignity, and met with tho cordiality due to her intentions, has perhaps resolved upon the unwise . | measure of renouncing her request. r .s W'e b arn too, by the same source which brin non I the intelligence referred to, that the conduce. met I the Texian Congress, has been influenectjib- j pnu reception r.f O letter from England. This j', I i : at all improbable—England appreciates,' ' we uriable to do so, the importance ' j * an ; alliance with the youthful government and has, questionless, made tier advantageous overtures, bhe comprehends perfectly the profits, which will accrue to her, from the system ot Free 1 radc that will probably be pursued by iexas, in the event of her remaining in her present unshack led and independent condition, and the policy of, Great Britain instructs her to cultivate the most amicable relations with a country, that is not on ly destined to become powerful and populous, hut whose products will be of the most essential ben efit to English commerce. Me shall find lexas to he a dangerous competitor in the Cotton trade, particularly if her mercantile intercourse with foreign marts bo unclogged by a system of high import duties, and wo shall feel too late the im portance of an acquisition which will have been wrested from us through the preserving efforts ol the northern sections who having no commercial interests with our own are hy no means solici tous for the welfcre of the south We trust, after all, however, that the rumor may prove unfounded—Texas would hardly pro ceed to a measure fraught with such important consequences without long and serious delibera tion. Wc believe that sho estimates too strongly the amount of obligation due to hundreds of citU zens of the United Stales, by whose aid and arms her liberties wore secured to her, to act with un advised rashness—her proximity to our borders — her origin; language, and form of government, all combine to unite her to us by links which we cannotthink she will be willing at once to sever. It is therefore our decided opinion as well as our earnest hope that Texas will reflect maturely be fore adopting the hasty policy which has been as cribed to her—we have not yet abandoned the idea of ultimately beholding the “Single Star” beaming in mingled effulgence with those which adorn the banner of American freedom. From the Neui York Express. The visit of the Corporation to the Siri us.—A beautiful Spectacle. The Mayor of the City, the Boards of Alder men and Assistants, according to previous an nouncement, embarked yesterday afternoon, about j half past one o’clock, in barges, escorted by a j fleet of other barges belonging to the Navy Yard, | under the direction of Capt. Stringer of the Navy, j all bearing the American flag, and ranged in 1 beautiful order in the river, making one of the most delightful pictures ever seen from the city. About the same time, a large number of citizens, some two or three hundred, invited guests, put off from the North jßivor, all fur the purpose of doing honor 10 the steam ship Sirius, her Captain ami Crew, and for celebrating tlie great event of her arrival In our harbor. The Sirius was dressed put in flags and pendants, the United Slates flag being on one mast, and the British flag on ano ther. The band of music on hoard the barges played “God save the King,” and the band on board the Sirius played “Hail Columbia,” and “Yankee Doodle.” After the Corporation and several officers of the Army and Navy wero pul on board (he Sirius, and an inte'change of enthu siastic checre on all sides, and from all parties, the guests were admitted, and immediately the cabin, os well as the quarter deck, was thronged by the crowd who had assembled on the occasion. The gallant commander, Capt. Roberts, was seated at table in tbo cabin, with the Mayor on his right, and Alderman Iloxic, Ijie Chairman of the Corporation Committee appointed on thooc. ession, on his left, Capt. Hosken of the Great Western, the British Consul, and several other gentlemen being at the table. The cabin of the Sirius, was hy no means fitted for such a welcome as the Corporation of the City wished to give Capt. Roberts, nor for such a welcome as the Contain wished to extend to his honored guests, but ihef cheet was abundant on the heavily laden table, find .‘ho wines soon made lie; compact crow d so happy, that they forgot the pressure to which they were subject’d. All tongues wero soon in motion in commemoration of the Great Event. Aides man Hoxie, after tailing to order, con gratulated Capt. Roberts on his safe arrival here, and in the name of the Great City of the New World, welcomed the gallant adventurer from the Old. What was a matter of experiment, he re marl- od, it was reserved for the great good fortune, and for the high fame of tho gallant Captain to prove to be tho/uef. Though ano ther had the honor of discovering tho New World, —yet that Now World for centuries had been approached only by tbo canvass filled with the varying winds, —or if otherwise, but cautious !y and timidly in some trembling steamer, whose anival or dcpartuie bad not been a matter of great note, —yetre.tainly lo the Sirius, to her gallant commander and her gallant crew, w as re served the fame of first shooting boldly from Eu rope over the broad Atlantic, in defiance of winds and wares, and of first bringing in the waters of our city the Flag of Great Britain up borne on the mists of a steam ship, to wave side by side with the Stars arid S’ripes of our States. [Hear, hear, hear.] —The Hudson River surely had never before seen such a sight. (Tremendous t heoring.)

[Great cheer- After some other animated remarks, the Mayor gave, “Entkiipiiise—ns mutually fostered and encouraged by England and the United States, it will soon open new sources of wealth and pow er to all Nations.” she British Consul, Mr. Buchanan,afersome prefatory remarks of the value of this new union which Capt Roberts had the honor of establish ing between the Cities of Great Britain and die City of New \ ork, and ol its commercial im portance, and probable,effect upon the two Great Nations, observed that as we are now on the wa ters a great man had first experimented upon will*, Steam Power, and where ha hud first defied the current and the wind in a sleani vessel, he would propose, as a sentiment.

As this sentiment was about, to bo welcomed with the liveliest cheers, some one from the crowd abruptly remarked, “0 yes! yes! give woman ho mage, the world over,”—which imparted to the enthusiasm already created the liveliest modes of expression. It was received with twelve cheers and the applause was deafening. , Tile British Consul look this occasion to thanic. the company fur the manner in which they had greeted the health of his Queen, and in thus gree ting her, he said they showed their kind feelings for iho nation ovei whu h she reign d, —and though, he added, something of tho enthusiasm might have been given in the toast by the extem pore amendment annexed, yei he joined heartily in that 100, for as woman so justly commanded homage, the loyally a subject felt for his Queen was thus converted into the most refined and gal lant chivalry. Ho would now propose in return, as an expression ol British feeling for the United S tales, — “Ti e health cf the President of the Cieat Re public of Stale;.” Capt. Hosken, of the Great Western, was now called upon tor a toast. As he was in a some what remote part of the cabin, we were not able to catch thesphit of his remarks, and thus have not the power to repeat them. Between throe and four o’clock, the company returned to the City,—the officers of tho Corpo ration in she barges of the Navy Yard, and Iho guests in the steamboat. The barges afterwards visited the Great Western, and cheered her, her captain and her crew.
