[I informed you by telegraph last night, at 11£ o'clock, at which time the Senate adjourn-' ed, that the Senate, at the night session, had passed the fortification appropriation bill, the army appropriation bill, and had non-concur red in the amendments of the House to the In dian appropriation bill, and in the Minesota bill, which provides that the act shall not go into effect until the 10th instant.] The principal amendment of the House to the Indian Appropriation Bill was reported from the Committee of Ways and Means by Mr. Vinton, and is an addition to the amend ment of the Senate, which appropriates sl.- 200,000 to pay the Cherokees under the trea ties of 1835 and 1846. Mr. Vinton’s provides that the money, shall not be paid until the accounts of the Chero kees shall have been settled, and further au thorizes the President to make an additional issue of Treasury notes to an amount not ex ceeding $5,000,000, at 6 per cent, interest, if such issue shall be found necessary to carry on the operations of the government during the next fiscal year. A committee of conference has been appointed. The House, I also informed you. disposed of the Senate amendment to the Indian appro priation bill, and adopted several others from the committee of ways and means, including that above referred to, and then adjourned. In Senate*. Friday, March 2. The V ice-President, at 1 o’clock, rose, and in an eloquent and very appropriate address of considerable length, slated that the close of his official term being near at hand, custom re quired that he should withdraw from the Sen ate, to enable them to appoint a temporary president. He returned his thanks to all. for their efforts to lighten the burthen of his office, and the uniform kindness and courtesy which they had manifested toward him. He bore testimony, from an experience of man} 7 years, to the grave and dignified deportment which had character ized its proceediings, and to the frank, liberal and courteous demeanor which had marked their private intercourse. He had been called upon, he said, during his official term, to exercise the right due to him under the constitution, and the duty im posed upon him by an express rule of the Sen ate —that of voting on questions where the Senate was equally divided—not less than thir ty times. He was not conscious, in a single instance, of having faltered in the performance of his duty—of voting, as he conceived to be in har mony with the views and interests of the whole people. In conclusion, he said that with a draw on their general indulgence to forget the errors which he may have committed, he should bear with him into retirement a grateful recollection of their kindness, and an ardent wish that their efforts to promote the public wel fare might be rewarded with that approbation which should follow an exercise of the purest patriotism, and with a long life of happiness and prosperity. When he had concluded, Mr. Benton rose and remarked, that as his colleague, the Hon. David R. Atchison, had heretofore been called to preside over the Senate, under similiar cir cumstances, he would move, that without a formal ballot, he be now appointed President, pro. tem. of the Senate, and the motion was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Atchison, in taking the chair, returned his heartfelt thinks for the repeated honors which the Senate had conferred upon him. — He would only say, as he had said when first called to that position, that he should endeavor to discharge his duty faithfully. Mr. Webster then rose and said, that they had just witnessed the retirement from the chair of the Senate, of the Vice-President of the United States, who had presided over their deliberations during the past constitutional pe riod of four years. It gave him greatpleasure to perform a duty which he had risen to dis charge, that of offering the resolution appro priate to the occasion. This resolution was that the thanks of the Senate are due, and are hereby tendered to George M. Dallas, Vice President of the U. States, for the ability and impartiality with which he has discharged the duties of President of the Senate, during his official term. The resolution was unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Pearce, the joint resolu tion providing for the purchase of 1000 copies of the debates and proceedings of Congress, from the hrst to the fourth Congress inclusive, compiled by the late Joseph Gales senior, was taken up and passed. Mr. Berrien presented the credentials of H on. Win. C. Dawson, elected a member from Georgia for six years from the 4th insl., in place of Mr. Johnson, whose term will then expire. At 4 P. M. the Senate took a recess until 6 P. M. House. On potion of Mr. Trueman Smith, the bill which passed the Senate at last session, and was on the 17th January last, reported back from the House Committee of Ways and Means, with amendments, “to carry into ef fect certain stipulations of the treaty between the United States and Mexico of the 2d Feb ruary, 1848,” was taken up. Mr. J. R. Ingersoll offered a substitute for the bill, which, after debate, was rejected, and the bill, with the amendments reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations, was then read the thud time and passed. The bill as amended, provides for the ap pointment of three Commissioners by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, who shall meet in Washington at some early day designated by the President, whose duty it shall be to receive and examine all claims of citizens of the United States upon the Republic of Mexico, provided for in the treaty, which may be presented to them, and to decide thereon according to the provisions of the treaty, and of the first and fifth article of the unratified convention concluded at the city of Mexico on the 20th November, 1843. It further provides for the appointment of a Secretary for the Board, versed in the Spanish and English languages, for a Clerk, for all needful rules and regulations, that the Secreta ry of State shall give public notice of the time for the first meeting of the Board, when desig nated by the President, that the compensation of the Commissioners shall lie $3,000 each, per annum, Secretary $2,000, and Clerk $1.’500. And further, that ihe Commissioners shall report to the Secretary of State a list of all the several awards made by them, and a certified copy thereof shall be by him transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall thereupon distribute, in ratable proportions among the persons in whose favor the awards shall have been made, the amount stipulated in the fif teenth article of said treaty, (being three and one-fourth millions of dollars,) according to the proportions which their respective awards shall bear to the said three and one quarter millions of dollars, first deducting such sums of money as may be due the United States from said oersous in whose favor said awards shall be made. And farther, that said Secretary shall thereon cause certificates of United Slates stock to b® issued to the said parties, respectively, or ; their legal representatives, for the amount to | which they may be entitled, which stock shall i hear an interest of six percent per annum un til paid, and redeemable at any time, at the pleasure of the United Slates, or pay the same in money, at the option of the United States. And further that the said board shall terrai nale its business within two years from the day of its organization. On motion of Mr. Vinton the House went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and took up the amendments of the Senate to the Civil and Diplomatic Appropria tion Bill. Many of the amendments were agreed to, and others rejected. To the amendment of the Senate, known as Mr. Walker’s, the House Committee of Ways and Means to-day recommended a substitute, embracing substantially the proposition of Mr. Dayton in the Senate, but further providing for the exercise of the right of habeas corpus and trial by jury, and against the declaration of martial law, except in Courts Mania! for the trial of persons connected with the army and navy. The Senate amendment having been read, and also the substitute, Mr. Wentworth moved to amend the former, by affixing thereto the Wilmot Proviso; but tellers being ordered, Mr. Wentworth’s amendment was rejected, 89 to 96. J I be hour of half past three having arrived, the Committee rose and the House took the usual recess, until 6 P. M.; when, it is under stood, Mr. Wentworth will again propose the proviso to the substitute of the Committee of Ways and Means, and if he fail there, will re new it when the amendments are reported from the Committee of the Whole to the House. From the Charleston Mercury of yesterday—By Telegraph Washington, March 3,7 p. m. In the House yesterday evening, Mr. Wentworth moved to amend by adding the 12th section of the California Territorial bill, extending the ordinance of 1787 over the Territory. The Chairman (Mr. Ste vens) ruled this to be out of order; and upon an ap peal his decision was sustained by the Committee— ayes 85, noes 84. Mr. Schenck moved to strike out the words “west of the Rio del Norte,” which was carried —ayes 93, noes 91. Mr. Lawrence moved as a proviso to except the laws provided for the regulation of the coastwise slave trade, which was carried—ayes, 91, noes 82. Mr. Rockwell, of Connecticut, moved to limit the continuance of the law to six months after the termina tion of the next session of Congress which was agreed to —ayes 90, 82. Mr. Washington Hunt moved as a proviso that the laws of Mexico abolishing slavery should continue in force until altered or repealed by Congress, which was agree.! to—ayes 95, noes 89/ No further amendments being offered to the amend ment from the Senate, the question was taken on the substitute proposed by the Committee of Ways and Means ; which was rejected, only seventeen voting in favor of it. The question was then taken on the Senate’s amendment as amended, and it was rejected, only one voting in favor of it. After a number of votes on minor amendments, the bill was reported to the House, and on the question, will the House concur with the Committee of the Whole in striking out the amendment of the Senate (IN alker’s) it was decided in the affirmative —ayes, 114, noes 100. The House then adjourned. Washington, March 4. Congress adjourned this morning at 7 o’clock, after one of the most excited and stormy sittings in the his tory of our Government. During this prolonged session of twenty hours, all the Appropriation bills were passed upon the reports of Committees of Con ference with the exception of the Civil and Diplomatic bill. The Committee in that case reported, last eve ning, that they could not come to any agreement, and were discharged. The Bill was then taken up in the House, and a motion was made that the House recede from its rejection of the Senate’s amendment, which was carried—ayes 111, noes 106. From that time, about 7 o’clock, until after 12, a most determined and embittered struggle was carried on by the Free Soilers to prevent the passage of the bill. Every motion which the rules of the House would allow was made to retard the progress of busi ness, and the ayes and noes called for on every vote to consume time. The Senate’s amendment was first amended by striking out the words “ West of the Rio del Norte,” and inserting a provision that nothing therein should be construed to interfere with the boundaries of Tex as. A substitute for the amendment as amended was then offered by Mr. Thompson of la., similar to the one proposed by the Committee of Ways and Means on Friday and this was carried —ayes 110, noes 104; and aa thus amended, about half past 12, the bill was sent to the Senate. In the Senate, when the bill was received, Mr. Foote. Mr. Turney, and some others, debated the right of the Senate to act in their legislative capacity after 12 o’clock; and this discussion was continued until 5 o’clock, when the Senate receded from its amendment altogether, providing for the temporary Government of California, by a vote of 38 to 10, and sent the bill to the House, who concurred, and the bill was finally passed. The Senate then took up the House bill to extend the revenue laws of the United States over California, which was passed ; and a message was received from the President at a quarter before seven that he had signed both bills. The bill to establish a Home De partment has Also become a law, with numerous others. During the excited debates last night the Senate was disgraced (we believe for the first time) by a per sonal rencontre, in which blows were exchanged be tween two of its members—Foote of Mississippi, and Cameron of Pennsylvania. A similar scene of row dyism was enacted in the House between Johnson of Arkansas, and Ficklin of Illinois. In the latter blood flowed copiously. Both these affairs were final ly settled amicably. Abbott Lawrence has declined the offer of the Navy Department, and the present cast of the Cabinet is as follows: Ctayton, for State Department; Meredith, Treasury ; Crawford, War; Preston, of Va., Navy ; Ewing, Postmaster-General; Reverdy Johnson, At torney General. The Home Department has been offered to John Davis, of Massachusetts, and whether he accepts or not, it is to be reserved for New England. New York, March 4. —The steamer Crescent City has arrived from Chagres and Havana. She brings no gold. She reports that there were one thousand passengers at Panama, awaiting opportuni ties for conveyance to California. Board was two dollars per day. Gold dust to the amount of half a million of dollars had been melted into bars at Valpa raiso, destined for the United States, via Panama. Special Notices. BUSINESS CARDS!! AT VEW-YORX PRICES.
