Further HcHiIIm by tlio StenitiNliip America.
Portugal.—Threatened Wart with this Country. In
relation to the difficulty between the United states
and Portugal, the correspondent'of the Times says,
that “previous to the. arrival ol Commodore Morgan
with the Independence and Missieissippi, some delay
was occasioned, from Mr. Clay pressing half a dozen
different claims, id ancient date, and refusing all pro
posals for arbitration, in a manner indicating the pos
session of ample powers and instructions from the
department, of Mate of Washington.
It was also said that Mr. Clayton had shown nn equal
disinclination to treat with t-’ir Henry liulwer, or to
hear any explanation of fncts relating to' some of the
claims arising from the destruction of tile American
cruiser, ‘‘General Ainatrong,” in the port of F'ayiil, by
a British forte, in 1814. Subsequent to the arrival of
the Mississippi, Mr. Clay called upon the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and verbally intimated that lie should
only give the government twenty-four hours for u final
resolution upon the different claims.
He appears to have refused to have his ultimatum
in writing, but to have left tu be inferred tlml ho ex -
ported the proposal of u round sum for the whole ot
the cluims. Mr. Clay assumed n very decisive tone,
which had the effect of alarming the government.
But! believe they came to the resolution of Count
Iojal’s addressing a note to Mr. Clay, to the effect
that no ultimatum of twentyfour hours could ho sub
mitted to tho council of ministers, unless ho pre
sented it m writing. 1 hoar the Pope’s nuncio lias
informed Count Iojul."
England.—Sir Robert Reel's Death.—Tho sudden
and violent death of .Sir Robert I'eel caused a great
sensation in England and France. The English pa
pers are tilled, almost to the exclusion of everything
else, with extended notices of flie life and character
«f the late Premier, and with speculations as to tho
ellhct his dentil will have upon the polities of ids coun
try. The particulars of his death are thus stated:
On Saturday evening, June 21), whilst proceeding
from his residence in Whitehall up (''institution Hill,
his horse suddenly shied at something passing, kicked
up his heels, and throw Sir Robert over his head ou
his face.
Although rendered insensible hy the fall, Sir Robert
retained hold of the reins; and the animal being thus
checked, last his footing, and fell heavily! upon tho top
of tile buronct. Several gentlemen passing, rendered
the necessary assistance, and the Ex-l’remier was phi-
cud in a carriage, and removed to his house in White
hall in. a state of insensibility. All the medical talent
sf London waseoon at his service. Their united ef
forts were unavailing. After lingering till eleven o'
clock on Tuesday night, the'great, statesman expired
in the'63d year ot hisuge. In reply to tin offer hy Lord
John'Ruasell. in the name of Iter Majesty and of the nn
tion, of a public funeral, I he family declined the hon
or, inasmuch ns it was Sir Robert's last wish that lie
should he buried in Drayton Abbey, with us little par
ade as possible.
The Ministry Again Defeated.—In tins House of
Lords, on Monday night, the ministry suffered anoth
er defeat, by a majority of twenty-two, on tho Irish
franchise bill. The proposal of government, wiis
thuttho franchise should be regulated by nn A8 quiili-
ffculion, and Lord r'tiinli'y proposed tin amendment,
that tho qualification be .ill 5 instead. The amend
ment being carried, and tlio principle ot the bill, de
stroyed, government have since withdrawn it.
They have also withdrawn tho Lord Lieutenancy ot

sailed to the treatment which Smith O'Brien lias re
ceived at Brice island, but without eliciting anything
irom them. Largo publip meetings have been held

conduct of government bus been denounced by men
of- oil shades of political opinion. At the Dublin

Mr. King offered his amendment- restricting the
southern boundary of California to 35 degrees 30
minutes. He would not vote for the bill without
this amendment, and the reduction of the number
of representatives from .California to one.
Mr. Berrien spoke on tho same side, and conten
ded, also, that it made no difference whether the Wil
mot proviso was imposed by Congress-directly or
by confirming the constitution of California.
Mr. Clay and Mr. Footo replied.
Mr. Berrien reinforced his remarks.
The question was on the amendment of Mr. King,
proposing the line of 35° 30".
Mr. Jefferson Davis moved to amend tho amend
ment so ns to insert 36° instead of 35.

Mr. Clemons moved to lay on the table the whole

t Mr, Clay would he glad, he said, to have the ques
tion settled definitely, lie would prefer nn indefinite
postponement to laying it on the table, whenever it
may ho taken up. lie would consent, us far as lie was
concerned, that the final question be taken on Tues-
lay. lie would not be able to speak till Monday.
M". Berrien would vote against laying the bill on the
table because he would wish to make wine remarks

\Rashing ton, July J.8, 1859.
Senate.-After some unimportant morning business
the California bill was taken up, and Mr. Hunter
spoke about nil hour and an half in opposition to the
bill, and particularly to the provisions relative to fu
gitive slaves. The hill would not, if pussed, send
peace, but u a word to the country.
Mr. Foote followed at length in reply and in op
position to tile construction put hy some on the po
sition of the Nashville Convention. He contended
that the convention, in thoir report, did not require
any thing beyound non-inforvontiou. Tlio tjouth
wished no protection beyond what tho Constitution
gave her.
Mr. Butler said that South Carolina, as one Slate,
would never submit to be subjected to the arbitrary
control of u majority, irresponsible to the South.—
South Carolina would do us much us auy State to pre
serve the Union; hut she would stand fast to the
pledges which she had exchanged with other States.
Mr. Foote declared liis belief that the .people of
South Carolina, almost universally condemned the
treasonable sentiments uttered by persons in that
State in abu fourth of July toasts, published iti the
• Mere.irfy." The Statu of Mississippi had uor bucked
out of anything she had said. The patriotic mid no
ble Union sentiments uttered yesterday, by rhe Sen
ator from Massachusetts, would bn responded tony
the people of Mississippi, and mtdnpiiucd, if nerd be,
cm the battle field.
Mr. Jefferson Davis followed the explanation and
Vindication of the Report of the Nashville Conveu-
tion.
Mr. Foote rejoined.

bill, lie asked the question on tile amendments of
the Senator from Miss., Mr. Foote.

An Anti Sectarian Convention.—Abolition in
Disguise.—A number of people who profess not to
believe iu sectarianism, have been holding n conven
tion at Oswego, N. Y. Judge Smith, ol Oswego,
presided, and among the secretaries was W. A. Ful
ler, of Pennsylvania. A lar;A; number of resolutions
worn passed, of which tile following was the
principal relating to sectarianism :
Resolved, That tho Gospel of Jesus Christ makes
abundant provision for tlio closer and closer union of
his disciples with each ether, but makes nonc at all
for their separation, und that the dividing of Chris
tians into parties and sects does no less violence to
thnt ministerial body of which they are all members,
than is done in the natural and living body by tourin'-
asunder its constitutional parts.
Among tho string of resolutions adopted, however,
we find the following one of a most decided fanatical
character: •
Resolved, That to hide a fugitive slave from the
pursuit, of the Moses Stuarts arid Leonard Woods
would be infinitely greater piety titan all the hooks
tmd sermon* and prayers iff them and tlio whole
brood of inhuman tmd pro shivery divines.
Something new. Henry Waterman, of New-
York, inis invented a locomotive for railroads, contriv.
cd so us to be pi iced inside of u passenger car. An
experiment was made with it ou Tuesday, iu New
York, and the Evening t Express thus speaks ef tho
affair:
" Itis constructed witli four wheels on each side and
twodrivers in the mid lie. The entire mnehiuei v iscun-
densed and enclosed, bo that the locomotive appears
the same as n cur, and is so arranged that the etfi-
neer can check in speed almost instantly, whether a
train is attached or not. It is about 90 horsepower,
und is capable of drawing n train of 20 cars.

Tlio Philadelphia and Baltimore papers contain
accounts of a violent storm which occurred on Thurs
day last, and which did great damage to property in
those cities and the surrounding country.
In Philadelphia trees were torn up by the roots,
houses unroofed, and file walls of now buildings
blown down. Nearly all the walls left standing iu
tlie burnt district wore thrown down during the
night, one of them billing on. tivo adjoining buildings
and crushing them. Tho wharves of the Dela
ware and Schuylkill were overflowed, and twen
ty sail of schooners, sloops and small craft sunk or
wrecked in tlio harbor. The schooner Two Sisters is
reported to have been capsized twelve miles below
the city, and her crew, consisting of seven persons,
to have been drowned.
On the Schuylkill the damage by the freshet was
very great, mid the loss of life t: uly distressing. The
water rose higher tiltin' it had been known for years,
carrying away bridges,'barns and other property.—
The Bulletin learns that the bridges of Reeves, Birch
& Co., at Phcenixville, Were' carried' away. Six men
were carried out into, the stream, and four of them
drowned. The cars on the Norristown Railroad
were stopped, the water being, m some places, more
thou three feet* over the rails. At Conshohoeken
four men were drowned. A little girl was drowned
on the opposite side of tho river. Four men were also
drowngd at Munayunk. A breach was made.in the
canal at the Big Cattish Dam, below PhtBnixville. At
tile dam, above Phcnulxville, the centre wall of the
lock gave way. Two hoys were drowned and their
boat was destroyed.
The telegraphic posts were torn down in every di
rection, Trees were demolished in the public squares.
In New Jersey whole orchards of fruit trees have
been prostrated, and the Railroad track above Bord-
entowu was so strewn with uprooted trees on Friday
morning as to prevent the passage of the cars, which
were obliged to turn buck.
In Baltimore a largo number of new walls of build
ings were blown down, mid considerable damage was
done to the shipping in the lrarbor. In the vicinity
of the Cathedral, Mount Vernon Square, and Fayette
street, and in every section of tho city, if not in eve
ry street, trees of all dimensions were torn up by the
roots.
The farms on tlio shores of tiie Potomac have suf.
l'cred much injury from the storm. The" steamers
were compelled to forego their trips, and those that
were out were obliged to put back.
Iu Norfolk and Fredericksburg, Vu„ tlio storm did
cojpderable damage. The Floating Bath at Norfolk,
which had been secured in the harbor with polos mid
heavy anchors, wqnt ashore, mid now lies high and
dry.
We have no accounts nftlie storm from Washing-
ton City, where it must have been felt severely.
It is apprehended that tlio shipping in Delaware
and Chesapeake Bays lias suffered.

“Wo understand, mid take great pleasure in an
nouncing the fact, that the prisoners taken at Contov,
and in whose behalf our Government had interposed,
have been released by th_e Spanish authorities from
their prison in Havana, and that they may be soon
expected in file United Stales. This intelligence will

much as it will reinpvo the cloud which lutug for
awhile over their amicable relations.”
Ixlness op the President.—President Fur. more

Correspondence of tho Daily Morning News.
/PARIS, JUNE 26.
The politics of Franco present the same deplorable
aspect as ever, since the accession ol Lout) Napoleon
to the Presidency. I told you in my previous letter
that the Cabinet had •tiikci.l of the Assembly three
millions for tho benefit of His Majesty the nephew of
his uncle ! I!—and this without reference to tho six
hundred thousand francs which the constitutional,
lows him by virtue of Ids title ns Vresident (!) ot
this ghost of a Republic. This demand has produced
great excitement even among the Royalists of the
Assembly. The Royalists being in tho majority, ask
nothifig better titan to unite their interests with those
of the President, to destroy the Constitution und tin’
nihilute the Republic, uudur pretence of preserving
it from Bra pernicious influence of the .Socialist party.
But tliisWm * majority hy 110 moans wislt to clovuto
the nephew to tlio uncle's throne ! Money is the ce
ment ol’bad. governments—and I.ouis Napoleon has
great need of the precious metal to sustain it even to
the end oTtlio fourth year. The prestige of his name
is gone. His eyes are just opening to tlio fact, mid
conse quently this worthy hero ot Strasburg and Bo-
logne asks for three millions six hundred thousand
francs a year, to pay his debts und secure wherewith
til to support him in tho obscurity which awaits him
in 1852. The Cabinet has done its utmost to compel
f l Assembly to accede to its demands; but these
inands have tended to degrade tho President still
lower in the eyes of tho people. Alas ! was lie not
low enough already!
Tho committee appointed to report upon this de
mand have made their report through M. Flundiu.
The report concludes hy granting tho three millions
OtlCC only to tint President, to be charged as expen
ses incident upon his installation, hut every word
goes to show that the allowance is a charity, given to
pay tlio debts of a miserable beggar ! The report
will, doubtless, be confirmed by the majority, and the
people will take especial euro not to forget it at the
next election. The department of the Lower Rhine
has just returned the celebrated editor, Kniiie de
Girardin, another evidence of opposition in the
country to tho majority of tho Assembly. This ma
jority is still clamorous for reaction, holding that
tlio French people have 110 right to oppose those ’ who
seek to re-establish*a government from which we wore
freed by the glorious revolution of • 13t3. In addi
tion to tho three million act, the ministry desires the
passage of another, which causes no little excitement
in tile literary world. It seeks to establish a censor
ship of the Theatres, and us dramatic authors re
present all opinions, tin* law is unanimously opposed
by them. If this censorship were dommdad lor the
preservation of morality, I would he the first to sus
tain it with all my heart; but knowing, as I do, that
it is meant only to screen the present odious govern
ment, I reject it ns a control at once unusual and
repugnant. Why does the ministry ask for this law!
Because there has been performed at one of the
Theatres, a p'.ny in which one of tlio Cabinet minis
ters is so well depicted, that it is impossible not to re
cognize tho resemblance* Since tho revolution of
February .plays have been produced glorifying the old
government monardhy, and its long train ot evils—
these plays have been applauded with a spirit, amount
ing to lrenzy, by the royalists, and tho government
of Louis Napolean has had nothing to say against
these attacks upon the Republic. But the good sense
of the people has taught them to appreciate such
works. In a word, the Theatres, which took royal
ty under their protection, have been deserted by tho
true public, and this desertion will soon bring them
hack to such plays as will bo least fatal to the purses
oi the managers. From this revulsion of pnblic
opinion, the government fears that it may see itself
brought upon tho stage, in its turn, and it is to avoid,
this just recoinpeuco for its culpable partiality that, it
demands a censorship over the Theatres. • As this
law will suit the views of the majority, it will of course
be passed.
Foreigu politics remain in statue quo. Tho Euro
pean war, so much dreaded hy the friends of liberty,
seems more aiql more impossible. The Czar does
not measure tlio strength of his army of serfs with
our free people. Without arrogating to myself the
spirit of prophecy, it is not difficult to foresee thu f
there need be no tear of a foreign invasion. You are
aware of tho coolness between tlio French and Eng
lish governments in reference to tho'affairs of Greece.
Those who delight in creating an alarm for trifles be
hoved that a terrible war would grow out of it. But
tile people were not so silly as to ruin themselves to
gratify "a lew statesmen. The English Government
has been much to blame in this matter The House,
of Lords condemned the conduct of the Premier
hut tin; House of Commons encourages the English
cabinet to persevere in the same odious policy which
England has always observed towards tho whole
world. The Cuban Expedition and its unsuccessful
results' are the topics ol much conversation, and a
difficulty is anticipated by some, between Spain aud
tlie United States. The friends of liberty would hail
with pleasure tho delivery ot the Island of Cuba
from the yoke of Spain. She not worthy ot pos-
sessingthis garden of the Antilles—this brightest jc'w.
eUu her croivu—a country so degenerate, that it is
now no more spoken of than it would be if it were
blotted out from the map of Europe. M. Thiers has
just returned from his pilgrimage to St. I.eonurd.
He has lmd frequent and long interviews with Louis
Philippe. The crown of F'rancc has been the subject
of these conversations. The ex minister of the ox
King forbid the family of Orleans from uniting with
theeldor branch of tho Bourbons. Tlio elder branch
can never overcome the enmity which the,large ma
jority of tho French still cherish for them, and M.
Thiers thinks that a union would compromise the in
terests of the Court of Paris by making a common
cause with HenryV, M. Thiers’ counsel was so well
received by tho mother of this yuung heir of the Re
public, thnt lie was sent every morning to pay his res
pects to the man upon whom the Orleans family rest
all their hopes. FI. 1 liiers is a nitui of immense tal
ent as an orator unci in a writer, but as a minister, he
has committed tlio most egregious mistakes. France
has long ago passed sentence upon Uitn, und ho is the
least influential man who could have been chosen to
re-establish a throne which was thrown down* by its
corruptions and tyranny. The old comedian. Louis
I hilippp, played his role ior 18 years witli impunity’
but his descendants will not he able to follow in his
footsteps.
It is suid that Lam irtiiis has sent ono of his rela
tives to take possession of a large property in
Smyrna which the Sultan hns given him. The pov
erty of this celebrated man is to bo attributed to bis
luxurious tastes, us well as his charities. If he is as
benevolent us he is sui,l to he, wr, can excuse his ex
travagance. How many are there who are extruv-
aguut, and yet deaf to the voice of the poor. La-
martihe has received immense surasjor his writing
—perhaps more than two millions of francs, llis
drama “Toussaint I.ouverture" has been received
with great success at the Porte Saint Martiite, of
course much to the prufit of the author of the Giron
dists. I find a good anecdote aboutthe drama which
will bear repeating. The principal actor iu tho play
weld to Saint Pont, where Lamartine resided, and
askod him if he proposed to return to Paris soon.
"Not very coon" was the reply of the poet. "That-
will not suit my purpose” said the actor,
not 1" said Lamartine. “Because,” said tho
“I shtil! lie obliged to consult you from time to ,
alxiut ccrtnin parts of the drama, ’’ “If 1
act,,,
tin,
Wtig |L
reply, “I will be in Paris next week." Uponnrriv
in Paris, the actor called upon him to know w, - '
would appear in the assembly. “I wish to finish „ -
works first," said Lamartine. “Itis necessary
the actor, “that you should make your appear®^ j
there, and say something aboutyourdrama.” *
Lamartine went to the assembly the same
upon which this last conversation took place. \ j
the actor called upon him ami asked him
he intended to speak. “Why do you wish n w 1
speak,” said tho orator. "That I will be able toe
some of your gestures anti manner." I will sp^i
tomorrow and send you a ticket for a seat snij | 1
artiue. He spoke the day after, but the actor y (
not present to hear him. His aim had been to I
buck the author to Paris before tho public, j„ or .J
that “Toussaint Louverture” might hare,not only!j
own merit to depend upon for success, but the celcil
rity of its author. p *
