-WASHINGTON. MAY 4.
“Tn the House of Representatives to day, a
motion to water the Avenue, aud to suppress, or
expungo the dust, was agaiu discussed, and a-
gnm laid ou the tablo. A bill to nltor the routo
of tho Cumberland Road, so as to carry it through
the town of Dayton, Ohio, was tnkou up ami
opposed by Mr. Maim, and then laid aside foi
the orders of the day. To got the road through
the town of Dayton, wo think two thirds of the
good people of that placo changed polities, aud
former Whigs, have become the partizans of Mr.
Van Burcn. They may get it after all. The
most of the day was spent by the House in com
mittee of the whole ou the Army Approprialiuu
bill.
“Iu the Senate, a debate of some interest en
sued, on a morion by Mr. Benton to take up n
bill, to authorize the President to accept the aid
of volunteers, to the exclusion of the Land Bill,
which was set down for final action to-day. Iu
this debate, Mcssrss. Clay, Benton. Preston, Por
ter aud Bucltauan took part. Tho posture of
Texiau and Mexicau affairs, was incidentally
discussed, and it was argued on all sides, that
tbisfeountry ought to maintain a strict neutrality
in regard to these conflicting parties- Mr. Porter
said that the conduct ol Santa Annn was had
enough, he doubted not. hut he was opinion that
manv of tho tales told of him, were exaggerations'
Mr.Preston could not consent that wc should
take any belligcrout attitude towards Mexico,
Mr. Buchanan was of tho same way of thiuking,
hut said that bo considered Santa Auoa an usur
per, and believed tho Texiaus to be right. They
had his hopos aud prayers for success.
MAY. 6.
“There has been some cxcitemontbere, iu con
sequence ol a motion of Mr. Cambreleug to add
to one of the appropriation bills an item of one
million of dollars, to meet any exigency which
may become necessary ou tho Texian frontier.
He tend a letter from Gen. Gaines, inclosed in a
communication from the Secretary of War, which
is ordered to be printed.
MAY, 7.
Tho Penate held no session to day. In the House
after tho disposal ofthc General Appropriation
expenditures on that frontier, led to a long and
interesting discussion, iu which some very inter
esting facts were developed. Some papers and
letters were road from too Clerk’s tabic, at the
instance of Mr. Cambreleng. Among these were
letters from Gen. Gaines, and instructions from
tho Secretary of War to Gen. Gaiucs. These
iustuctious direct him to have regard to the neu
tral position in which it was desirable that this
Government should comiuue to staud; at the
same time it authorized him to repel any attempt
of the Mexicans or ludians to approach the Ulti
mo ujiru ar-»j tcl * States Bouudary Liue. There wa9 also a
To fix rliia communication of a conversation between Mr
Forsyth aud the Mexican Minister. A copy of
tho Courier fy Enquirer was produced, aud oa ac
count « as read from it, of the report made by
Santa Anna, of the allair at the Alamo, and of
the nioasurcs in progress for increasing the Mex
ican army for future operations iu Texas.
Mr. Underwood, after thest'ipapers bail been read
made a motion that the committee rise for the pur
pose of having all tho documents printed, as' he
thought it of the greatest importance that the
language contained iu theso documents should he
fully understood. An impression was made oa
his mind by the reading, which lie should be hap
py lo find was au uuirue one. lie withdrew his
motion; aud .
“Mr. Adams asked the Chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, if there was an offi
cial copy of the report itself made by Sautu Anua,
of the battle of the Alamo, communicated from
the Department? [The Chaitiiiau shook his
head.] Iu the report made to the Chairman,
of the part played by tho Secretary of State iu
tliis conversation, there appeared to be uo report
of tho part played by the Mexicau Minister. He
expressed gratification tit so much of the iiislrue
ions a* required Gen. Gaiucs to preserve the iieu
rality of the United States, but was sorry that
the other parts of these instructions were not con
sistent with those to which lie had at first allu
ded But iu auolher part the Geueral was in
structed to march within the Mexican line, in
ease of the approach of any Mexicau or ludinu
forces. Mr. Adams thought there might to be
deliberate) reflection aud full enquiry, before we
involved ourselves in war for tlie benefit of the
1’exians. There was nmhiug in tho character of
those who are at the head of their government,
civil and military, to iuducc us to go into such a
war. Nor was there auy thing iu the origin of
tliis war to invoke our affections or our aid. if
lio was rightly informed, the war originated in a
determination, on the part of the Tcxians, to re
sist a decree of the Mexican Government, for the
abolition of slavery within the Mexicau States
It tvus, therefore, a war against the abolition of
slavery iu the Mexican States, lie thought that
a dangerous power was assumed in the instruc
tions of the Exccutiyc, no less a power than that
of making war, without the consent of Congress.
This allusion lo slavery, drew on Mr. Adams
a fire from Mr. Peyton, of Tennessee, Mr. Thump
son, of South-Carolina, aud others; aud he was
charged with bringing in the question of slavery
to defeat tho appropriation.
Mr. Adams explained, that he did uot intend to
vote against the appropriation, •levorymuch
regretted that he should be always assailed per
sonally, iustcad of his arguments* beiug attacked,
.vheueve.r ho expressed his sentiments on auy
important subject. He stated that there was still

him, of having ceded Texas, by stating a fact. -
The treaty by which Texas was ceded, was made
in tbn Administration of Mr. Monroe, when he
(Mr. Adams) was Secretary of State, Every
liue of that treaty was written by ftlr. Monroe,
aud he (Mr. Adams) was the last tnau in the
cabinet who assented to it. lie himself had been
in favor of extending the line of the United States
frontier as far as the Rio Be! Norte, but he was
the ouly man in the Admiuistr„tion who was ill
fivor of that extension. At that time, the pres
ent Chief Magistrate of this Uuion was iu the city
on a visit, when Mr. Monroe instructed him (Mr.
Adams) to lay a copy of the treaty before Gen.
Jackson, and take his opiuion ou the subject of
the bouudary, that he did so, and that Geueral
Jacksot) approved of tho bouudary in the treaty.

further that our Government and the land spec

was already bought. lie hoped he should never
hear ucwspnpcr speculations read iu the House
as the basis of legislative action, a tiling he hud
ucver witnessed before.
Mr. Williams, of Kentucky, said he hoped that if
Santa Anna should set a foot within the United
States line, and shako his fist, stamp his foot, or
grit his teeth, his head would bo taken off. He
would be willing to set until 4 o’clock in the mor

he had no desire to come into it again,

The proceedings of Congress yesterday will
apprize tho public of the death of one of the most
estimable men that ever adorned the hotly. Mr.
Mantling, the successor of General. Blair, from
the Camdeu district, was oue of tlie two individ
uals whose personal popularity was sufficient to
stem the torrent of nullification in South Caroli
na, and enable the Union party to maititiaii a
representation in the House of Representatives.
Although ho was a most decided mau in his poli
tical conduct, yet such was tho tuaylfy of his
manners, the purity of bis motives, the high or
der of his intellect, tltat lie never met reproach
from any quarte>*. \Yo do not believe lie bad an
enemy iu either party. Of the character of Ids
talents and of bis patriotism, bis fiuc speech in
support of Mr. Piucktiey’s resolution will stand
as a monument.—hi.
The Washington Globe states, that of the750
Bills of a public character, now before Congress,
69 call for appropriation of $27,690,090. Other
bills before that body, of a public nature, if pas
sed nud put into operation, but more contingent
and uncertain iu amount, would establish de
mands upon the Treasury of at loast $20,000,000
more, while other claims, that paper states, fur
the execution of Indian Treaties, more positive
nud specific, will require $12,01*0,000, iu additiou
to the foregoing sums. Titisvould leave, the

John Randolph's Will—Decision reversed.
—Judge Carr yesterday delivered tlie opinion
of the Court of Appeals, in reversal of tlie de
cision ol the General Court. The substance
ol the opinion is this: that on the first of Jan
uary, 1832, Jqlin Randolph of Roanoke teas of
unsound mind, aud therefore the paper purpor
ting to be his last will and testimony is void.
The Court, however, desiredit tobo distinctly
understood, that they express no opinion.upou
any other point. The Court was unanimous.
The will of 1821 is before tlie general Court
for probat, and it is presumed a contest will be
made on that also. It will be remembered that
ty—This very important
question is kept off by the opposition »u the Sen
ate, as that of the admission of Michigan and Ar
kausas is in the House; the one to ’jo operated
upon by the laud bill, the other to operato ou tho
abolition excitement.
The laud bill evidently suspended action oa
the Cherokee treaty. To comply with tho com
pact with Georgia, and redeem Iter soil from In
dian occupation, will cost the United States
uearly six millions- This sum. with tho other
necessary appropriations, with Mr. Clay’s pro
posed retrospective distribution of the proceeds of
the public lauds, would absolutely bankrupt the
Treasury, and verify panic predictions of the op
position. Hence tho Cherokee treaty is suspen
ded by the friends of the land bill, ns the appro
priations are staved off in the Houso to augment
the surplus, aud increase the douceur which is to
carry Mr. Clay’s bill through. -
Aud how can Judge White.—who, to get rid
of consequences of bis vote against tlie first trea
ty, pledged himself to give his sanction to a trea
ty, increasing the consideration for tho Chero
kee lauds to upwards of five millions.—-justify to
himself liis course upon tho adverse measures now
pending, viz, the land bill ? Ho well knows that
to all for whom the scheme of distribution has
charms, he presents, iu the land bill ho supports,
upwards of five millions as a temptation to vote
against tho Cherokee treaty. It is from his new
friends that opposition to the treaty is to be ex
pected; and lie adds his vote to theirs, to carty
tho land bill, and holds out its millions as an in
ducement to them to defeat tho treaty ! But if
the Judge’s vote for tho distribution _ is a bonus
to his opposition friends to vote agaiust tho ri
ghts of Georgia, ho will make amends to the
South by changing his own vote aud principles
in relation tp the treaty. Ho voted against the

Tlie left wing of the army arrived iu town on
Saturday afternoon last, from Tampa Bay, via
Volusia. Tho objects of the campaign haye not
been accomplished. The Indians have scattered
throughout tho country, and are in small detached
pnrtios. A few of them were met by the army,
nnd some skirmishing took place between tliepi.
Tho Indians wore hovering about the army aud
fired upon tho camp several times. But one In
dian was killed that is known certainly.
That there has been nil understanding betweeu
tlie Creeks and Seminoles, there are somegrounds
for believing. A silver whistle was found ou the
Wiiblacoochee, which w<ts recognised to belong
to a brother of Capt. Elmore, who was travel
ling thro’ the Creek nation last summer when he
lost it. The owners name was engraved in full
upon it.

The steam packet Florida, capt Hobhnrd, ar

Major Cooper of I’utunin had been sent it is
said, from Fort Drane with tho Bnitaliou under
his command to the point on the Withlacoochy
which capt McLetnoro occupied, to asceitain the
fact. Volusia it is said lias been abandoned.

proceodedtotowu. • Mr Dupont and kis two sons
(lads,) were in the dwelling at Mr D’s plantation
with a Mr Long, when tlie Indians approached ;
