Previous to tho adjournment of Congress, Mr. Ca.mbrf.lf.no, of the House of Repre sentatives, laid upon the table a resolution calling for copies of the Correspondence between this Government andthat of Great Britain, respecting our claim to the free navigation of the St. Lawrence. But the National Intelligencer states, that owing to there not being a quorum of the House on the next day, the resolution was r.ot ac ted upon. It is understood to be the inten tion of Mr. C. to move the inquiry at an early day in the next session, should noth ing occur in thc mean time to obviate the necessity for it. By an arrival at Providence, it is stated that an American schooner, attempting to get into San Juan de Ullua, was sunk by the Mexican batteries. The castle then commenced firing on Vera Cruz which did some damage. General Santa Cruz, it was said, had revolted ; an expedition had boon preparing against him, but had been abandoned.
