* Biiatellatitansf. I I ?v,;::rT,rz= , ■ ■ j (From the Baltimore American.) Saroyan IntaUiganc*—Additional bjr tha Canada | The Cuiierd ateamer Canada arrived below , Boeton on Saturday night, but on account of the heivy foe prevailing wu unable to come up to j the city till Sunday, moraine. We take from our file* the following additional items of interest. ia impossible to gain any clear , knowledge of tbe actual atate of the French pro vince. The goverament uaee every mean* to suppress all intelligence unfavorable to tbe usur pation. Tbe Paria correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle aeve in relation to thia point j , Under the stringent regime now eatabliahed here, I despair of being able to put you iu p«"**- aion of anything like correct information of tbe atate of the more distant port* of France. II ] were implicitly to believe the telegraph* «*- petebes published in the Con*tjbit.onnel end Pa trie, under the authonty of M. de we might imagine that France wa* laaeUteof the met profound peece and tnnqmhty ; that the new* of tbe temp fsM had given aaUafaction everywhere; end that the enthusiasm in favor of Louis Napoleon increaaing. It u only at interval*, and anera time, that the truth oozes out. Some daya after the telegraph announced that* place was enjoying perfect tranquility,” a second telegraphic despatch appears, to say that tbe insurrection hail been put down, and the in surgents put to flight. Another journalist has the following remarks: Louis Napoleon permite the world to know on ly j>wt as much as it suits himself and his ciea turas to tell it. The French prese is extinguish ed, at least lor the present; public meetings are pronounced treasonable; and while foreign journ als a:e prohibited, the correspondents of the Lon don papers art obliged to put up with such intelli gence as the police may choose to communicate; u they write more or less, their parcels are slop ed, and themselves treated with expulsion. Un der these circnmstancee the French news may, to a great extent, be true or false. Much, there fore, is left to conjecture, and all that is admissi ble as veritable, refers to the two broad facts, that Paris is without palpable commotion, and that the central and southern districts are serious ly agitated. Notwithstanding the precautions which have been used to prevent the transmission of intelli gence from tbe disturbed districts, the following particulars show that France ia by no means what the government organs represent her to be * perfectly tranquil.’ All tbe country papers are stopped at the Post office, and extracts favorable to the government are selected by a government agent, and sent to tbe three or four papers still published in Paris.— As far as is known, tbe following appears to be the result; For the first five days after the news of the Revolution reached Lyons, there was serious uneasiness among the authorities. Large crowds assembled at Poligny, one of the faubourgs of that city, and endeavored to penetrate into tbe notorious district called tbe Croix Rousse. A strong display of troops prevented an actual out break, and General Castellane has written to the Minister ol War to declare that he will an swer for the tranquility of the city.—At Bor deaux, a great number of persons had been ar rested, but tbe agitation had ceased before the ar rival of General Bourjolly. At Toulouse an at tempt at an insurrection was made, but it failed. A pistol shot was fired at General Rewbel’s aid de camp, and a protest against the coupd’ ttat , signed by about 30 persons, was published in the opposition papers. The whole of those who signed weie brought to trial. The Allier has been the theatre of fresh trou ble*. An attempt at riot was made at Moulin, but unsuccoaslully, sixteen persons having been arrested. At Agen, a troop of 1600 peasants marched on the place, but were unable to make any impres sion, tbe Natural Guard having assembled and repulsed them. Mabsiili.r*. Dec. 7th.—The news received to-day from the adjacent department ia most un satisfactory. In the Var tbe insurgent* greatly in crease in numbers, and have eatabliahed a species of Provisional Government. The mail coach yesterday was stopped eu entering the depart ment, tne despatches opened, and all those in tended for tbe Government detained. The tra vellers were treated with urbanity. Previous to the departure of >he mail, the conductor re ceived a pass, with the seal of the mairie, which permitted him to traverse the whole revolted district without further molestation. The con ductor says that all the high roads are overrun with well armed men, and that he was informed that the insurgents, whose numbers he imagined to exceed five thousand, intended marching on Draguignan, tbe principal town. It appears that whenever the insurgents undertake an expedi tion, they place at their head the clergy and rich proprietors, with muskets in their hands, and threaten to shoot them, unless they stand firm on approaching the troops, and instantly fire on them. The High and Low Alps is, if possible, in a tar worse position than the Var. The insur fents here number, at least, 10,000 armed men. 'hey already possess Manosque, Valensolle, Riez. Forcalquier, and other places, and in all probability, at the present hour, they are in pos session o! Digne, the capital of the lower Alps. Yesterday, about 5000 of the insurgents were en camped at Kstoublon, from whence they intend marching on Digne; about 1500 men left Manos que same day as a corps de reserve. The inhabitants of the Alps are a hardy race of mountaineers —very headstrong, and should they take to guerilla warfare, it will be very dif ficult to subdue them. The department of Vaucluseis, in some parts of it, in a state of great agitotion. Five hundred socialists got possession of I’ertuis, and a battalion of infantry had marched from Aix against them. Brignou.es, Dec. s.—The socialists are mas ters of the town, and have driven the authorities out of it. They have liberated the prisoners, and named a new municipal council. They are in possession of all the government despatches, and allow no one to leave the city without an au thorisation from the new mayor. It is difficult to describe the appearance of our once peaceable city. Beneath my window the socialists are drinking from a pipe of wine, singing revolu tionary songs, and uttering the most inlamous threats. They are laying down their plans for pillage and rapine. The Commune of Bedaride, in the Vaucluse, is in the hands es the socialists, who have or ganized a Committee of Public Safety. Troops are marching against them. The whole ol the right bank of the Durance is in open revolt; the socialists marching in bands of 50 or 00, with drums at their heads. The peasantry of the mountains of the Alps have riseu, and are well armed. It was general ly supposed that they would this day seize on Digne, the capital of the Lower Alps, and that they would get possession of it without any trv-ble, there being few troops to defend it. Information is received of a conflict at Tou louse between the students and the troops; and upwards of 30 on each side were killed, besides a great many wounded. Di turbances have taken place in the depart ment of the Avcyion. Armed men marched on the town of Rodez, nominated a demagogic com mission, and sent delegates to summon the General commanding the department to recog nize it as the authority of the department. Others proceeded to Milhan, captured the Hotel de Ville, and a quantity of muskets of the Nation al Guard; but the hrigardes ol the gendarmerie in the district having been hastily assembled, they dispersed. At Regnac a band attempted to force the Mayor to give them the arms ol the National Guard. The district comprised between Clamecy, de partment of Nievre, and Coulanges-sur-Yonne, department of the Yonne, has been the theatre of grave disturbances. In every commune,bands attempted to possess themselves of the mairies, in order to seize the arms of the National Guard. One portion ol these insurgents proceeded to Clamecy, where they committed excesses; an other marched on Coulanges-sur-Yonne, but the inhabitants resisted, and for three days prevented the insurgents from forcing their way into the town. A great number of similar communes were disarmed and lacked. One-lourth of the departments of France are now under martial law. The war, it is essential to remark, has not been begun in the manufac turing towns in the principal cities, or in the great centres of population. We hear of no movements at Rouen, Elbouf, Havre, Lyons, Marseilles, or, in fact, any important city. It is a peasant’s war, —it is a social war,—it is a jac- quene. Paris, Wednesday evening, Dec. 10.—We sre assured that the coup d ttcU has filled the repre sentatives of the Absolutist Powers of Europe with joy, and that all the representatives oi the Northern Powers have already intimated to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as to Louis Napoleon himself, their full approbation of the course pursued. On Monday evening, not one oi the Ministers of the'Northern Powers was ab sent. Lon non, Saturday morning—Paris, Friday.— Gen. Harispe Vaillant has been promoted by de cree to the dignity of Marshal of France. A decree has definitely constituted the consul tative commission, formed by decree of the 3d The President of the Republic will pre side at the commission, of which M. Baroche, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, is Vice- President. A decree authorising the collection of taxes “ d dut *“ u “tii the Ist of April next, conformably to the existing law, has been pub lished. Austria.— The Kolner Zeitung states, from v ienna, that the news of the French Revolution has produced a profound sensation among the Le gitimists at Frohsdorf. Immediately after the arrival of the first telegraphic despatches from Paris, the Count de Chambord and the Oukede Blacas bad an interview with Prince Schwar senberg, and on the 6th instant the Duke de Blacas left Vienna for Brussels. It is stated that Prince Schwanenberg, advised the two Princes to proceed with the utmost caution and foresight, and that he pointed out to them that M. L. Bon aparte was entitled to the u moial” support of the foreign cabinets, since he had the confidence of the army, which was the sole guarantee for the preservation of peace and order. It is supposed that the Duke de Blacas will not now publish the proclamation with which he set out, but that the Legitimists will be instructed to grant a temporary obedience to the present ruler of France. | The Vienna journals of the 7th contain long I articles on the recent events in France. They < are generally favorable to Louis Napoleon. The | Austrian Lloyds, which is one of the most in- i fluential organs of the mercantile party, says it i is sure that the acts of Louis Napoleon will be by at least two thirds of the French na- 1 tree. , England.—-Mr. Robert J. Walker has been again feasted by his British admirers. They gave him a splendid entertainment at Manches ter on the oth instant, in which, of course, John Bull smoked one of bis broadest pans of incense under the nostrils of his transatlantic friend, the , late Secretary. The British are greatly and ! most justifiably delighted with Mr. Walker whom they regard as a true Englishman—a tV es tem man with Eastern principles. Tax Moth** and Sisrxas or Kossuth.—A letter from Pesthoftbe Ist, in the Correspon ded Blatt, ssys—“The house occupied by the mother snd sisters of Kossuth, opposite the Ka roy palace, was surrounded in tne night, and perquisitions were made in their apartments.— Kossuth’s sisters. Mesdames Rutthay and Mes selengi, and the tutor of the latter’s children, were afterwards removed to another part of the building. Tbe mother of Kossuth obtained per mission to remain in her apartment, but she was placed under surveillence of tbe police. The tutor ! was subseqaently put in irons.” Georgia Legislature.

Robbkkt of tub Savinos Institution. A most daring and, we regret to add. successful at tempt was made to rob this Institution on the night of the 31st ult. The office for the trans action of business is kept in one of a suite of small rooms on the first door of the building situate in Meeting street, and known as the Ap prentices' . Library Society. There are two nights of stairs running from the basement to a large hall above these rooms, and it is supposed that the party comitting the depredation entered the building early in the evening, and secreted themselves on the stairs until such time as the Treasurer of the Institution, who was engaged, in the duties appertaining to his office, should leave, which he did at a late hour in the even ing. Feeling assured that they were alone, the robbers commeuced their operations, which they j carried through, as appearances inpicated the next morning, in a masterly manner. They first forced open the inner door opening on the passage, by boring with an augur, ora brace bit, and then forced open the dooi of the office con taining the large iron safe, which to look at, one would suppose was proof against burglary; but these rascals were proficients in their business, and every obstacle was made to yield to their es- i forts. They entered the safe by the novel process of ! bonng through the top, which was of iron, and a piece sufficiently large to admit a man’s arm was cut theretrom. Through this hole they removed funds amounting to $550, which had been paid | d *J’ and bad been placed in the depositing m the morning. So well ! tkT ' r * rr * n ß eme nts, that even the i carpet on the office floor was cut in two and fas tened to toe window with knives, to prevent I the light from a Gas burner beinewin ; % “‘‘■‘r 1 . «■<» •sniThEf ,h " , S Stack Accidxnt.— The Selma Enterprise of 1 e 18th ult, says, the stage carrying the west ern mail between that place and Greensboro' 1 got into the Cahaba river, on Sunday, the 14th’ 1 ult. at Fortune’s Ferry. None of the passengers were injured. Three horses were drowned. The mail lay in the river about three hours ! The newspaper* were ruined, and the letter* completely soaked. Thirty Second Congress*—First geest on. Washington, Dec. 26,1831. SENATE. No quorum being present on the Senate, Mr. Mangum moved an adjournment till Monday. Tbe Chair ruled that leas than a quorum could not adjourn, but from day to day. And then, at near one o’clock, the Senate ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Journals having been read, tbe Speaker ' laid before the House a communication he had received from tbe Librarian, informing him of tbe destruction of tbe Congressional Library, by meanß that are unaccountable, as neither fires not lights are permitted within its walls; in con- j sequence of which at least 33,000 works have j been destroyed, with a great number of pain- ! tings, engravings, medals, &c. of great value. He further stated, that the 20,000 books, which were I in the adjoining rooms, have been saved; among : which are tbe library of the late President Jef j lerson, and various valuable works on the arts, sciences, natural history, &c. and concludes with the expression of a hope, that a thorough and j searching inquiry will be instituted into the ! cause of the disastrous occurrence; and that means may be adopted to prevent the recurrence of a similar national calamity. Mr. Stanton of Ky., Chairman of the Com mittee on Buildings and Public Grounds, moved a joint resolution requiring that committee to in j stitute an inquiry, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the destruction of the library was caused I j by negligence, any defect in the flues by which : it was warmed, or whether it was the work of | an incendiary ; and authorising them to send for persons, and examine them on oath, i A motion to substitute a select committee failed, and tbe joint resolution was unanimously ; passed. Mr. Hall, of Maine, submitted a resolution, re questing such imformatiou as it may be proper to communicate relative to the seizure of the brig Iroque of Calais, at tbe port of Jacmel, and the imprisonment of tbe captain and crew, in the year 1850; which was passed. Mr. Stanton then presented a commnnication irarn the Commissioner of Public Buildings, re questing the appropriation of 83000 to meet the expenses incurred in extinguishing the late lire, removing the rubbish, &c., and the laying a tin roof for the security of that part ot the building that is (at present exposed; which having been | read, he moved for leave to introduce a bill ap propriating thatsum, which was subsequently read and passed. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, moved that the calling for petitions, under the rule, be dispensed with, which motion was objected to, and therefore could not be put. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, moved that when the House adjourn it stands adjourned till Tues day next: and the ayes and nays being called for, the motion was carried—ayss 91. nays 64. A motion that the Ho.ise adjourn was after wards carried—ayjs76, nays 59; and the House stands adjourned till Tuesday next. Washington, Dec.'29,1851. SENATE. In the Senate to-day, barely a quorum was present. A communication was received from the Se- cretary of the Treasury, stating that a deficien cy of 219,000 dollars exists in the estimated re venue of the country. The resolution of invitation to Kossuth, adop ted by Congress, has been signed by the Presi dent,and the Committee appointed to carry it into effect recommend that arrangements like those adopted at the reception of Lafayette be adopted on the present occasion, and that the Chairman introduce Kossuth in these words: “We present Louis Kossuth to the Senate of the United States.” Senators are then to rise, while the President will invite him to be seated. The report was adopted. A joint resolution, in regard to printing the Census,was debated and made the.special order of the day for Tuesday week. A communication from the Librarian and the proceedings of the House in relation to the late fire, were received. Mr. Cass moved an amendment, appropria ting money for new books, and also enquiring whether any additional means are requisite to render the Capitol fire proof. The resolution lies over. The Senate then adjourned until Friday. Washington, Dec. 30,1851. i The Senate was not in session to day. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Carter, of Ohio, moved I hat the rules of i the House be suspended, and that it resolve it self into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, for the purpose of passing a reso lution appointing a committee to wait on Louis Kossuth and introduce him to the House. Air. McMullin objected to the suspension of the rules, but having withdrawn his objection, i the ayes and nays were taken, and the motion ; was carried by a vote of 104 ayes and 30 nays. The House Went into a committee of the whole, Atr. Jones, of Tennessee, in the Chair, who stated that the first business in order was ' the consideration of the President’s message ; ! ihe next a resolution authorizing the architect to | employ laborers on the capitol. These were j postponed, and the chairman said there was no other business before the committee, and no other could be taken up. Much discussion followed as to the mode of proceeding, it being contended that committee could not originate a resolution appointing a spe cial committee, and that such a resolution, when introduced in the House, must lay over fora day. Mr. C.irter appealed against the decision of tne ! chair, which was reversed, there being 66 in the affirmative and 80 in the negative. ! A motion was made and lost that the commit tee rise—44 in the affirmative and 85 in the neg ative. Mr. Campbell moved as an amendment of the resolution ol Mr. Carter that the operation of the 17th standing Rule be extended. Air. Alaee, of Indiana, moved that it be so j amended that the Speaker be requested to wait ! on Louis Kossuth, and give him a cordial wel ! come. Air. Venable, of N C., moved another amend ment, in effect, that Louis Kossuth be introduced I into the Hall of the House—who said he was disposed to treat Kossuth with any proper cour -1 tesy, but he took that occasion, he said to state ; that the Hungarian leader had fallen in his esti mation since his arrival in this country. His ; object was to involve the United States ic the ; affairs of Europe, and to induce the government ; to pursue a course which must either result in w'ar or disgrace ; and he Mr. V., was not dis i posed to place bis constituents in either of these ! positions, those nations, he said, which de ! served liberty, would be able to obtain it, and the people of this country exhibited three millions I of people defying the proudest nation upon earth, and triumphing in the vindication of their j rights. Air. Brooks, of New York, said he should vote j for the resolution ol the gentleman from Ohio, ] but meant to accompany his vote with an ex planation of the principles by which he was ac tuated—he meant to pay Kossuth a compliment, and not to propound a political principle; and i should vote as a mere individual and as a mem : her of society. He was opposed to the doctrine which had been enunciated since his arrival in the United States. If the government of this country have a right to interfere in the affairs of Hungary, there were millions in the State which he represented, who say, that there is no despo tism so horrible as that which considers men as chattels, and he was not disposed to send forth a | firebrand throughout the land by applying at home those principles of intervention under which it was proposed to act abroad. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, said he did not conceive it was the object of the resolution, or either of the amendments, to do more than ex tend an act of courtesy, and that there was no l disposition to go any farther. Air. Bayly did not ground his opposition to the resolution on the speeches which had been made by Kossuth; the question did not assume that character, and he did not consider the government as altogether blameless. Kossuth regarded it as entering into his views, and it ought not to al low the delusion to continue. Air. Alarehall, of Ky., contended that there was much misconception prevalent with refer- I ence to the resolution inviting Kossuth. At that time it was supposed he meant to make this | country his future residence. Alter his arrival on board the Mississippi, he altered his views, and proclaimed a political mission on his arrival here, and in this he had been supported by resolutions passed at New York, Harrisburg and Baltimore. He was willing to extend to Kossuth every pri vate courtesy; but was not willing to convert the ball into a school-house, for the dissemina tion of the opinions of Louis Kossuth or any other man. Mr Ingersoli, of Conn., said that the time for speeches had passed—the time for action had ar rived; and the cause of Hungary had taken deep hold of the hearts of the people of this country. Kossuth had been received with a national sa lute, by order ofthe Government. In voting for the resolution submitted by the gentleman from Ohio, he must say he was opposed to any inter | vention on the part of the United States, because if this commenced with foreign States, next step will be to interfere with the local affairs ! of our own. ‘ Mr. Gentry, of Tenn., spoke at much length jin favor of the resolution. He would allow Kossuth to go where he pleased, to say what he : pleased, and to be followed every where by the rabble; for he placed every confidence in the ; American mind. I Mr. Stevens, of Georgia, considered the object of Kossuth to induce this country to engage in a system of intervention; he contended that the resolution could not be put, as it had not been subjected to the one day rule. It was then moved and carried that the com mittee rise. The House resumed; and the chairman report ed that the committee had under consideration the'general affairs of the Union, and bad come to no conclusion. This report was objected to by Mr. Fieklin, and defended by Mr. Jones. A motion was made and lost, that the House adjourn till Friday next. It was then moved that the House adjourn; and the ayes and nays being ordered, the adjourn ment was carried by 90 yeas to 57 nays. The House then adjourned till to-morrow. Washington, Dee. 31,1851. The Senate did not sit to-day. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The first business which came before the House, after the journals were read, was a resolution mov ed yesterday, just previous to the adjournment, limit ing the discussion on that before the committee on the state of the Union to half an hour ; and it was contended that such a rule could not be made ap plicable to a portion of the President’s message without applying to the whola The Speaker decided that the motion was it or der. Mr. June* bate appealed against the decision, and a motion to lay the appeal on the table waa carried —yeas 111, nay* 85. The decision of the chair, therefore, wau sustained. The next difficulty was caused by the omission of the call for the previous question yesterday by Mr, Clingir in. when he moved for the application of the halfTn.u- rale : to which he called the attention of the chair, while Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, had the floor, for the purpose of proposing an amendment A motion was then made to amend the journals, but Mr. S. contended that this could not be done, while he had the floor. The Speaker however de cided otherwise, and his decision being appealed aga'nst, a motion was made and carried to lay the appeal on the table—yeas 109, nays 41. The jour nals therefore were ordered to be amended, Mr. Jones ofTenn., moved that when the House adjourn, it adjourn till Saturday; upon wdich the yeas and nays were ordered, and the motion was negatived—ayes 74, nays 89. Tellers were then ordered on the previous ques tion, which was carried—B9 to 48. The Speaker was about to take the sense of the House, that the resolution be put, when a motion was made to lay the resolution on the table; and the ayes and nays being called for by Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, the motion was negatived—ayes 100, nays 56. The yeas and nays were then taken on the reso lution. which was carried—yeas 102, nays 58. Mr. Carttermoved that the Houso resolve itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, which was carried. On motion of Mr, Stanly, the House resolved that when it adjourned, it stand adjourned until Friday. The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, when a considerable time was spent as to the course of proceedings, the chairman con sidering that the resolution that the debate termi nate in half an hour did not apply to the Presi dent s message generally, but ODly to that portion of it which refers to Louis Kossuth. He also decided that the message generally was before the commit tee, and not the unfinished business of yesterday. The decision of the chairmrn having been ap pealed from, it was reversed on a vote of 29 to 89, and the resolution introduced by Mr. Cartter was taken op. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, after somo remarks as to the powers of the committee, expressed himself very folly in favor of the principle of national interven tion. He said the resolution before the committee did not commit the Honse of Representatives, par ticularly after having invited Louis Kossuth to the United States; he stated farther that those rules which had been imposed upon themselves by three millions of frecmeD, are totally inapplicable to a nation of twenty-five millions. He had seen noth ing improper in tho conduct or doctrines of Lonis Kossuth, and whether it led to war or not, it was the duty of tho Unitod States to protest against the infraction of national law by any other power. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, expressed his surprise at the principles arowod by his colleague, and handed in that portion of the farewell address of General Washington which is opposed to such a course as ho was desirous of pursuing; and was goiug on to question Mr. Disney as to his views, when the half hour expired. Mr. Venable moved as an amendment that the Speaker be requested to wait on Louis Kossuth and introduce him to tho House. The chairman here stated that tho resolution of the House, as it relates to the President's message, does not apply to the resolution before the commit tee, because it does not connect it with the message by any reference whatever. Against this decision thcro was an appeal, and the ayes and nays being called, there were only 8 votes in the affirmative and 99 in the negative- There was consoquoutly'no quorum, the second occurrence of the kind since tho committee resumed. The roll was then called, and the chairman reported the cir- cumstoncu to tho Speaker. There being a quorum, the committee resumed, when a motion was made that the committe rise; tellers being appointed, 10 voted in the affirmative and 99 in the negativo. There being no quorum, tho Clerk again called tho roll, and the saino farce was gone through with of reporting tho facta to the House. The committee again resumed. Mr. Lotcher, of Ky., moved thrt tho committee rise, and report the resolution of the gentleman from Ohio. The chairman decided that the motion was out of ' order, and on a motion that tho committee rise, tel- ! lors wore appointed—‘>2 voting in tho affirmative and 85 in the negative. The motion was therefore lost, and tellers were appointed to take the sense of the House on tho appoal against the decision of the chair. The hall'hour having arrived, to which the j i debate on the resolution was limited, Mr. 1 Churchill proposed an amendment, providing that by its adoption, the government shall not depart from the policy of non-intervention, by which it has hitherto been actuated ; which he offered, he said, as a test vote, it having been stated during the debate, that there are not twen ty members in the House, who approve of the principles that have been advanced by Kossuth. | f Mr Harris offered an amendment to the I • amendment, that the committee inform M. ; > Kossuth, that the settled policy of the United ■ States is “friendship with all nations, but entan s gling alliance with noneand expressed him self as being opposed to any procedure which j f would involve a departure from that course, i , The amendment proposed by Mr. H.jwas agreed i to on a division of 82 to S 3. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, again expressed him > self as being opposed to the resolution. He said , he would not commit himself with reference to s any man, until death had placed its seal upon ; his character. Two years since,Louis Napoleon, j had he visited the United States, would have; 3 with open arms; and yet he had j proved himself to be one of the greatest usurpers j recorded in history ; and moved, as an amend ment, that nothing in the resolution should be f considered as involving this country in the at e fairs ol Europe. He was followed by Mr. Sweetser, of Ohio, i who advocated intervention in behalf of the . downtrodden nations of Europe. He stood forth e as the advocate of the oppressed of every nation, e and declared that he was acting in accordance with the views of bis constituents, and that he . expressed the sentiments of one hundred thous . and freemen of the State of Ohio. Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, was not disposed to e commit the government on either side of the if question. There are in Europe, he said, three hundred millions of people, who arc kept in sub -3 jection by an army of three millions, and when t the former should strike a blow for freedom, the . government would know how to act. Mr. Venable, of N. C., defined and defended . his position ; and resented the statement which j had been made, that those who opposed the re s solution were opposed to the developement of - freedom. P Mr. Giddings referred to the votes of several . members on former occasions, who then were s willing to espouse the cause of the oppressed; but e who are now opposed to intervention in their be t half. i Mr. McMulin denied that Kossuth is the guest -of the nation, in the sense at present entertained; e he was offered an asylum, and in that point ot . view, he had (Mr. M.) been willing to welcome e him. But after what happened since his libera s tion, he would not, had he the opportunity, n again record his vote in lavor ot the Resolution, r which was passed during the last session of Con gress. e The question was then put on an amendment , of Mr. Tates, that the committee inform M. ' Kossuth that the United States would not view . with indifference any struggle of Hungary : against Austria and Russia; but there being no j quorum, it was reported to the House. The House again went into committee, there e being a quorum present; when Mr. Cabell i moved that the committee rise. Again no quo s rum voted ; and the House again resumed, f A motion was then made that the House ad ! journ, which was negatived by a vote of Cl to - 77. s A motion was then made for a call of the r House, when Mr. Carter moved that it adjourn ; t which motion was carried, and the House ad r journed at half-past 9 o’clock. Washington, Jan. 2, 1852. SENATE. r Mr. Davis presented several memorials from ' citizens of Louisiana, whose claims have been re ' jected or reduced by the decision of the late board to examine Mexican Claims, praying the estab- j ’ lishment of a new board to examine their claims. > • Mr. Underwood presented the petition of Mr. j ' Burch, of St. Louis, settingth for that he was in ‘ tended, in the provision of God, to fulfil a destiny ! —that he has endeavored to do so. He asks to have his name inserted in one of the bills grant- ; ing land to foreign refugees, or if this cannot be done, he asks at least for the sympathy of Con gress. Mr. Walker presented the memorial of the In dustrial Congress of New York, praying that Congress would recall the American Minister at the Court of France, and that all the diploma- j tic and commercial relations with tbe French j government be suspended. He moved its refer- ! ence to the committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Mason opposed the reference. He de sired to stop this matter of intervention at once. Mr. Dawson opposed intervention, but advo cated the reference because it was proper that a report should be made upon the subject. Mr. Walker urged the reference; he, too, de sired the issue to come. It could only be pre sented upon the report of a committee. Mr. Mangum said the issue would be present ed in another shape. He desired it to come, and he was prepared to resist any departure from the long established policy of the United States. Mr. Butler opposed the reference. Mr. Underwood and Mr. Davis continued the debate, both opposed intervention. Mr. Mason opposed the reference, because the memorial asked Congress to recall a Minister, which act was beyond the constitutional power of Congress. That only could be done by the President. He moved the memorial be laid on the table. The motion was agreed to by the following vote: Yeas—Atchison, Bell, Berrien, Butler, Clarke, Cleihens, Cooper, Dawson, Downs, Geyer, G win, Jones of Tennessee, King, Mallory, Mangum, Mason, Morton, Rusk, Sebastian, Smith, Under wood—2l Nays—Borland, Bradbury, Dodge, of Wiscon sin, Dodge, of lowa, Fetch, Hamlin, Jones, of lowa, Norris, Shields, Summer, Wade, Walker, Whitcomb—l 4. Several petitions and reports were presented j and made; and, upon the question of referring a bill to increase the salary of the Judges of New Mexico, no quorum voted; and then, on motion, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion of Mr. Carter, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union; and took up the resolution lor appointing a committee to welcome Kossuth. Mr. Jones, of Tenn. in the chair. The amendment to the amendment which was under consideration when the House ad journed on Wednesday, declaring that the peo ple of the United States would not view with indifference any interference of Russia in the affairs ofjAustria; which was negatived—37 yeas —lll in the negative. Mr. Stanly, of North Carolina, said he bad not, viewed the conduct of Ko«uth with indifference since his arrival in this country. At first he was assed to vote for the res olution; but Kossut since declared himself a State’s rights man, and was supported by the abolition part of the House and the community, and with reference to the former made some severe remarks, to which Mr. Giddings replied. In pursuing the course he had pursued, he was not. as had been attributed to him and others, the friend of Aus tria or Russia; he was the friend of constitu tional liberty every where. He called the at tention of the committee to the proceedings of a convention recently held in Pennsylvania; and concluded by moving an admendment condem ing the resolution, which expressed a hope that the Kossuth movement would result, not only in putting down oppression in Hungary, but throughout the world; which shared the same fate as the numerous other amendments which were submitted during the day. Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, said he would not de fend his conduct or discuss his principles under a five minutes rule; his opinions remained un changed. Mr. Venable, of North Carolina, moved an amendment providing that nothing in the reso lution should be construed as being intended to impair the settled policy of Congress, embraced in the compromise measure, which was nega- ; tived. Another was submitted, stating that no thing more was intended by the resolution than a compliment to the distinguished Hungarian; the word •‘distinguished” having been substitut- : ed for tbe word •‘honest,” in the amendment as originally proposed. A great variety of other amendments, in ad dition to this amendment, were made and lost, many of them containing mere verbal alterations, and all of them intended as pegs upon which to hang a few moments’ speech. During the dis cuss io i that followed each of them, there was much noise and confusion, and appeals were universally taken against the decisions of the Chair. Mr. Brown, of Ohio, called upon tbe friends of the Resolution to state why it should pass; for whatever they might say, the proposition would be viewed dispassionately by the world. It was besides recognising Hungary as an independent nation, when such was not the fact. He did not , blame Kossuth for the course he was pursuing, and felt as much sympathy for Hungary as any other member. As to the movements in the great cities, that was no indication of public sen timent throughout the country, and which would | be best expressed by tbe yeomanry. He con j eluded by declaring that he was not the enemy of : freedom, but was opposed to a departure from the policy which had hitherto been pursued. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, was opposed to holding out encouragement, but was prepared to extend sympathy lor nations that might be struggling for their rights. Whatever may be his views as to intervention, he would, when the proper time | arrived, be prepared to express them ; at present that question was not before the House. Mr. Stevens, of Ga_ defended his conduct, and that of tbe minority with which he acted. He called the attention of the Chair to the 17th Rule, defining who shall have the privileges of I the Hall, which the majority were determined i to violate.—He wonld use every means, he said, j to defeat the attempt to violate the rules of the House, and would not suffer the representatives of the American people to be gagged in the manner that is attempted. 1 Mr. Walsh, of Md., addressed the House with much animation. He pointed out the different course pursued by Turkey, in offering an asylum to Kossuth and his companions, while the pow ers ol Europe turned their backs on them. The Hungarian leader, he said, had been received most enthusiastically on his arrival in this coun try, and had met with the first repulse—not from the aristocratic branch of Congres, but from the representatives of the people—the offspring of the masses. The President of France had re fused permission to Kossuth to enter the country, and the House of Representatives were follow ing the example. Among the other speakes were Messrs. Fuller, Millson of Va.; Brown and Taylor, of Ohio; Cullom, of Tennessee; Polk, Bocock, and Meade, of Virgina. A number of amendments having been mov ed and negatived,there appeared to be no quorum about half-past three o’clock, when the Com mittee rose. The House having resumed, a motion was car ried that when it aujourned it should adjourn to Monday. Several reports, one with reference to the Thrasher case, were sent down by message, and referred to appropriate committees; one relative to the claims of Maryland to the committee of W ays and Means, and the House adjourned at a little past 4 o’clock.

She brings intelligence of her own arrival at Liver pool at 8 o’clock on the evening of the 14th ult. The Atlantic arrived out on the 17th ult., the steamer Glasgow on the 18th, and the City ot Manchester on the 19th ult. France. —The advices from Paris are of a peaceful character. The President had distri buted an immense number of the Legion of Hon or, and had ordered a large sum of money to be distributed among the disabled soldiers. Gen. Cavaignac had been liberated uncondi tionally, and was about to leave France for Hol land. The other incarcerated Generals are to be released upon their agreement to become volun tary exiles. Victor Hugo was at Brussels. The partizans of the President were getting up a strong feeling in his favor, and were using every exertion to induce all parties to vote for j him. Appearances indicated that his majority would exceed that of 1848. The garrison of Metz, however, had voted against Napoleon, and all the scholars in the Polytechnic school, in cluding the young Prince de Polignac, had op posed him in a body. The President held a levee on the 17th, which was attended by all the Corps Diplomatique ex cept the American Minister. The President takes an active part in draw ing up the new Constitution, but the Consulta tive Commissioners have disagreed upon every important point. De Gruche, son of the Due de Grammart, has been appointed Minister to Hesse Cassel. The Department of Police has been raised to the rank of the Ministry. The latest accounts state that Gen. Cavaignac refused to accept the release tendered him unless the same favor is extended to his fellow pris oners. Spain.— The Madrid Gazette contains an im portant document from the Minister of Foreign affairs in reply toMr. Webster’s note on the Cuban 1 affair and expressive of the highest satisfaction at its tone because it is considered an act of jus tice which satisfies Spain as much as it exalts the Government of the United States, of which her Majesty’s Government never ceased to ex pect that it would disapprove such painful events, and that the loyalty of its conduct upon this oc casion would otter new guarantees and greater securities for the maintenance of friendly rela tions which in the reciprocal advantages have constantly existed between the two Govern ments. The Gazette concludes, by announcing the pardon of all tbs prisoners connected with the late Cuban expedition, who may be citizens of the U. States, whether in Spain, fulfilling their sentences or still in Cuba. Gen Laborde was about leaving Madrid for | Havana, and would go thence on a ship of war to New Orleans.

The Canada conveyed our last Circular advices dated 12th iust., to which wo beg reference. Our cotton market has since continued in a very de pressed stato, and the operations of a limited char acter, except in Snrats, which, from their compara tive cheapness, and short supply coming forward, have been taken extensively. Tho speculative transactions are also almost entirely confined to this class. Late imports from your side, including such as have been received en spinners account, have been j.Tcred in this market freely on arrival, evidencing the little confidence entertained by all classes in the maintenance of present currency, based upon the uncertainty of the turn political events may take on tho Continent, tho probable effect the intelligence of outbreaks in Paris, Ac., may produce on American markets, and the check that will bo given to trado in this country, should such disturbances arise. Tho sales of tho week amount to 28,050 bales, of which speculators have taken 6,120, and exporters 2,400 bales, which includo 18,650 American, of which 740 are to speculators, and 1.420 to exporters Import for same time, 24,204 bales, of which 22,- 903 aro American.

WRIGHT, GANDY A CO. HAVRE, Dec. 17.— Cotton. —As announced in our last report of the 10th inst, the perfect tran quility re-established in Paris, and nearly all over tho country, has led to a considerable rise in the funds, and brought back the confidence which was yet wanting in the manufacturing districts; in con sequence, the important transactions noticed in our last report of tbo Cotton market have been follow ed up. Tho Cambria's advices causod a good de mand on Thursday.

By the arrival lost evoning of tho schooner Corales, Capt. Porter, from Brazos Santiago, we have received the first number of the American Flag, a paper published at Brownsville, Texas. It is dated Ilecembor 10. This paper revivos the name under which the Rio Bravo was formerly published. It speaks condemnatory of tho revo lution in Northern Mexico, denounces those en gaged in it, and advises all Americans to abido by the laws of their country and take no part in tho movements of Carvajal, for whom it prodicts a speedy overthrow. Wo extract the following from the Flag: The steamer Camancho arrived hero late on Monday night, bringing accounts of tho recent battle at Cerralvo. between tho forces of Carvajal and those of Gen. Jaurcgui. It appears that Gen. Jauregui had 220 men and two pieces of artillory, while tho force under Carvajal amounted to 350 men, without cannon. Carvajal chargod the guns of Jauregui, and suceecdod in driving him from bis position, capturing much of the ammunition and many horses, saddles, wagons, and small arms belonging to Jauregui's camp ; but, from somo un accountable cause, failodin securing the large guns. Gen. Jaurogui took shcltor in a largo stone houso near tho odge of the town, with his cannon. There ho hold thorn at bay for two days, using small stones instead of shot, with his large guns. At this juncture Carvajal received information of tho near approach of a largo detachment of Gen. Urega's forco, and he at onco broko up and commenced a precipitate rotroat. Wo aro informed that his forces becaino much scattered in their stampede, but the most of them, withjfthoir leader, reached Guerrero, and immediately crossod over tho Rio Grando, thus putting that rivor between them and harm. They are thus driven out of Mexican ter ritory, and have found a refuge on Amorican soil. All accounts agreo that the late battlo at Corral vo was a very sovere one ; that Gen. Jauregui's men fought with as much determination and valor as could bo expected from any pcoplo, fighting for their houses and their country’s honor. The fittlo band under Carvajal chargod tho shotted guns of their opponents with tho bravery and perseverance characteristic of veterans, and in a good causo would have deserved, as it would most likely havo secured, success. But their victory will prove as disastrous as a defeat could possibly bo. We boliove this abortivo and ill-advised attempt at a revolution woll nigh ended. Unless large reinforcements are speedily received from Toxas, nothing con help them. The accounts from Capt. Ford wore not encouraging to tho hopes of the invading forces. Ho was about leaving San Antonio for Austin, to try what might bo efleetod in that qunrtor. Wo arc happy in re ceiving tho assuranco that Capt. Lewis will have nothing to do with tho affair. As we can soo nothing desirable to be effected in so hopeless a struggle, we sincerely trust it will proceed no further. The Flag announces the return of Gen. Harney to Ringgold Barracks, and says that he is deter mined to enforce tho neutrality laws so far as lies jd his power. Trouble in the English Cabinet.— Effect of Lord Palmer ton'» Reply to Kossuth. —lt is sta ted that important changes would ceitainly have taken place in the Russell ministry, about the Ist inst., had not the French revolution occurred. A letter in the Philadelphia American, dated London, Dec. 5, says: During the Kossuth demonstrations in London, the citizens of one of the metropolitan burroughs presented an address to Lord Palmerson. con gratulating the Foreign Secretary for having aid ed in the liberation of Kossuth and his com pan ions. It appears that Lord Palmerson, in his re ply, used a few imprudent words, which gave great offence in the Cabinet. In the course of his remarks he said, in effect, (for I quote from memory,) that he heartily participated in the universal entiment of sympathy that had been expressed for the constitutional and liberal cause of Hungary. It was attempted to be proved that the reporters foi the press had not given Lord Palmerson’s words correctly; but on an examination of their original notes, and on com paring one with another, they were found to agree together. A Cabinet Council was called, and it is said, warm language passedbetween the different members. It is also reported that Baron Bi unnow, the Russian Ambassador, addressed a formal note to Her Majesty, complaining of the Foreign Secre tary’s speech. The Carlton Club, too, it was stated, had made the sentiments of that speech the foundation of an imjieachment! Earl Grey exhibited great indignation at the Council just referred to, and positively refused to remain any longer in the Cabinet with Lord Palmerson ! It was agreed, at a subsequent Cabinet Council, that two or three members should retire; but just at the moment—it was last Tuesday—the sub marine telegraph startled Ministers and all Lon don by announcing a Revolution in France I The British Cabinet was, in consequence, saved ! [From the Baltimore Clipper.] The President and Kossuth. At noon, on Wednesday, Kossuth and a por tion of his suite were presented to the President by Mr. Webster. The following is the address oi the great Hungarian and the President’s re ply : On being presented, Kossuth said; Mr. President: Enlightened by the spirit of your country’s institutions, when we succeed to consolidate our natural and historical State right of self-government, by placing it upon the broad foundation of democratic liberty: . Inspired by your history when we had to fight for independence against annihilation by cen tralized absolutism: Consoled by your people’s sympathy when a victim of Russian interference with the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God: Protected in exile by the government of the United States, supporting the Sultan of Turkey in his noble resolution to undergo the very dan ger of a war, rather than leave unprotected the rights of humanity against Russo-Austrian des potism : Restored by the United States to life because restored to freedom, and by freedom to activity in behalf of those duties which, by my nation’s unanimous confidence and sovereign will devolv ed upon me: Raised in the eyes of many oppressed nations to the standing of a harbinger of hope, because the star-spangled banner was seen casting pro tection around me, announcing to the world that there is a nation, alike powerful as free, ready to protect the laws of nations, even in distant parts of the earth, and in the person of a poor exile: Cheered by your people’s sympathy, so as free men cheer—not a man whatever, but aprinciple: _ I now bow before you, sir, in the proud po sition of your great nation’s guest, generously welcomed by a resolution of the Congress of the United States, with equal generosity approved and executed by your Excellency: I beg leave to express my fervent thanks, in mv name, and in the name ot my associates, who, after having shared my misfortunes, have now tbe reward to share the honor and the benefit which the great Republic of the United States was pleased to bestow upon Hungary by bestow ing it upon its freely-chosen chief when he be came a persecuted victim of despotic violence :_ I beg leave to express my fervent thanks in my country’s name also, which, amidst the sor rows of its desolation, feels cheered by your country’s generosity, and looks with resolution to the impending future, because it is confident that the tune draws near when tbe eternal code of tbe law of nations will become a reality: President! I stand before your Excellency a living protestation against the violence of foreign interference oppressing tbe sovereign right of na tions to regulate their own domestic concerns. I stand before your Excellency a living pro testation against centralization oppressing the ■ State right of self-government. May I be allowed to take it for an augury of better time* that, in landing on the happy shores i of this glorious republic, I landed in a free and , powerful country, whose honored Chief Magis trate proclaims to the world that this country cannot remain indifferent when the strong arm ‘ of a foreign power is invoked to stifle public sen timent, and repress the spirit of ireedom in any ( country ? I thank God that He deemed me not unworthy to act and to suffer for my fatherland. I thank God that the fate of my country be comes so intimaely connected with the fate of liberty and independence of nations in Europe, as formerly it was intimately connected with ' the security of Christendom. I thank God that my country’s unmerited wo, 1 and my personal sufferings, became an opportuni ty to seek a manifestation of the spirit and prin ces of your republic. May God the Almighty bless you with a long 1 life, that you may long enjoy the happiness to se e your country great, glorious, and free, the corner-stone of international justice, and the , column of freedom on the earth, as it is already an asylum to the oppressed. Sir, I pledge to your country the everlasting ' gratitude of Hungary. The President replied briefly to M. Kossuth’s | address, in substance as follows: lam happy. Governor Kossuth, to welcome , you to this land of freedom, and it gives me pleasure to congratulate you upon your release from a long confinement in Turkey, and your arrival here. As an individual, I sympathized deeply with you in your brave struggle for the independence and freedom of your land. The American people can never be indifferent to such a contest, but our policy, as a nation, in this res pect has been uniform from the commencement of our government; and my own views, as the Chief Executive Magistrate of this nation, are fully and freely expressed in my recent message to Congress, to which you have been pleased to allude. They are the same, whether speaking to Congress here or to the nations of Europe. Should your country be restored to indepen dence and freedom, I should then wish 3 ou—as the greatest blessing you could enjov—a restora tion to your native land; but, should that never happen, I can only repeat my welcome to you and your companions here, and pray that God’s blessing may rest upon you wherever your lot may be cast. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE Legislative Proceedings. Mii.i.edc.evili.k, Jan. 1, 1852. Gentlemen-. —On motion of Mr. Dawson, of Greene, the House agreed to re-consider the bill rejected on yesterday, to pardon Kinchen P. Boone, for the crime of murder. On motion of Mr. Trippe, the House agreed, 51 to 36, to take up the bill to repeal the 2d and 4th sections of the supplemental Tax act of 1850, imposing certain taxes on the capital stock of the Georgia Railroad, and the Macon & West ern Railroad. The bill having been discussed by Messrs. Trippe flt Hill, in favor, and Messrs. Floyd and Tift, in opposition, it was postponed for the present. The bill to lay out a new county from Gilmer and Cherokee, was debated by Mr. Allred and Mr. Picket, in a style so humorous, as to excite roars of laughter. The members were in so good a humor, that they seemed disposed to pass the bill to accommodate the one, and to reject it, to oblige the other. Such a procedure, however, would not have been equally agreeable to both of the gentlemen. Mr. P. offered an amend ment, which, if it had been received, would have made him in favor of the bill. As it was, the bill was postponed, to no particular day. The General Appropriation bill will be the special order on Tuesday next. The bill to extend the corporate limits of the town of Oxford, in Newton county, was passed. The bill to amend the charter of the South western Railroad Company, with power to ex tend branches to Albany and Fort Gaines, &c. was passed. The bill authorising the Governor to issue $200,000, in the bonds of the State, to be lent for the purpose of aiding in the construction of a branch Railroad from the city of Oglethorpe to Albany, in Baker county, was lost by a vote of 44 to 50.

Having spent some time therein, the committee rose and reported the bill to the House, with amend ments. The Speaker having resinned the Chair. Mr. Chastain moved to adjourn, which was re fused, 24 to 64. Mr. Wofford offered an amend ment, which being read, Mr. Chastain again moved to adjourn, which was again lost, 37 to ' 49. Mr. Waldhour then moved the call for the previous question, whioh was seconded by yeas 49, nays 28. A motion to adjourn then pre vailed. I omitted to report, in another place, that a bill has been introduced to amend the Militia laws of this State. As it proposes almost a total re-organization of our militia system, I forward a copy for you to examine and comment on, should you deem it advisable.

On motion of Mr. Russell, the bill to appro priate a sum of money to open a public road from Ransour’s Mountain to Ellijay, was re considered by yeas 48, and nays 46. On motion of Mr. Chastain, the House also agreed to re-consider the bill to lend $200,000, in the bonds of the State, for the extension of the South-western Railroad, by a vote of 51 to 45. The House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. Shew make in the Chair, on the bill for the relief of the poor children of Bulloch county. The Speaker having resumed 1 the Chair, the bill was put on its passage and , lost. ] Mr. Floyd laid a resolution on the table, re quiring the Governor, before be draws his war rants for the appropriations made by the present Legislature, to set aside a fund sufficient to meet the reduction and interest on the public debt. The House resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of the last adjournment, viz : the bill to appropriate money to open a road from Ransour’s Mountain to Ellijay. On yesterday, Mr. Shewmake offered an additional section to the bill, appropriating $1,500 to remove obstruc tions in the navigation of Briar Creek, within the county of Burke—which was lost.

Hull, now confined in the Penitentiary, for tbe crime of murder, was post poned indefinitely, by yeas 68, nays 17. From recent indications, I am of tbe opinion that the furor for the pardoning, (with the exception of such as may be under sentence of death, as no applications have been very recently entertain - ... , y -,l^l ed,) for the making of new counties, and for ap propriations to cut out new roads, cleaning out rivers, and aiding in the construction of private Railroads, Ac., is much abated.

The steamer Cherokee, with the California mails of the sth, has arrived, having made the passage in 26 1-2 days. She brings, $1,700,000 gold on freight, and $360,000 in the hands of her passenger*. The principle matter of interest from Califor nia is the alarming state of feeling among the Indians upon the Colorado, and in the vicinity ol San Diego, Los Angelos, Santa Barbara, flee.— An outbreak had been commenced among the Indians in those districts, and was daily assuming a more threatening character. The enforcement of the tax law among the Indians is said to be the ostensible cause of the rebellion, to which they had been incited by the lower class of native Californians, who most bit terly hate the A mericans. Volunteer companies were origanizing tc march against the Indians, and the Governor had ordered Gen. Hitchcock, at Sonora, to despatch troops forthwith to the rescue of the citizens in the disturbed districts. The Governor had also ordered down the de tachment stationed at Fort Oxford, and would probably despatch one or more companies of vol unteers from San Francisco at an early day. At San Francisco, Sacramento and other pla ces, a good deal of rain bad fallen, and the rainy season had just set in. Captain Waterman,of the ship Challenge, was brought before the Court on the 4th, but the ex amination was waived. He was committed for trial upon three warrants for assault and one for murder. The steamers California and New Orleans had arrived at San Francisco. The steamer Golden Gate, from San Francisco, whence she sailed on the sth of December, ar rived at Panama with $2,400,000 in gold, be sides a large amount in the hands of passengers. An extensive limestone formation had been discovered on the American River, 30 miles from Sacramento. The snags in the Yuba River had been re moved, atan expense of $15,000, by the citizens, who are looking to Congress for aid in the im provement of the river. A steamer of large size had descended as far at Marysville. Several railroad projects were being entertain ed in different parts ol the State, and of some of them considerable stock had been taken. Numerous murders had taken place among the miners in the interior. Lynch law would pro bably be applied to the perpetrators. The Indian Chief Antonio is reported to have 3,000 fighting men under him, most of whom are well armed with rifles, and expert in the use of them. Antonio had sent a formal declaration of war to the Prefect of San Diego, and had com menced operations by attacking the Hon. J. J. Warner’s ranchero, killing oneofhis servants, and destroying property, as well as driving off his stock. Warner himself narrowly escaped by flight after killing two ol his assailants. The Indians immediately after attacked and killed four Americans at Agneas Calienties, two of whom were named Ridgely and Slack. Markets. —There has been no change since the first ult., except that holders are firrner,from the belief that shipments will be small and emi gration larger from the Atlantic States between now and spring. At Stockton, the miners were reaping largely and business was brisk. [Corretpondence of the Baltimore Sun.] New York, Jan. 1, 1852. The new year opens with a decided improve : ®cnt in the weather, and the showers of yester day having dispersed most ol the filth that cover ed our thoroughfares, the city is decidedly im proved. Tbe ladies, however, are debarred from enjoying the first clear day fora fortnight, by the necessity fastened upon them by custom, of stay ing home to entertain the gents, who have the freedom of their parlors extended to them, with permission to guzzle as much or more than they can stagger under.

The recipients of his bounty were admitted into the opeta house, hitherto devoted to japonnica dom and kid gloves, and the echoes of that place were astounded with the grateful thanks of the peor souls, in return for the charitv. Miss Hayes was listened to with delight yes terday by a vast concourse of school children at the morning concert arranged for their accomo dation.
