Washington, Feb. 21. In the Senate this morning, Mr. Fairfield presented the resolutions of the Legislature of Maine, in favor of the immediate passage of the French Spoliation Bill. The Navy Pension Bill from the House, was taken up, read a third time and passed. After the disposal of several private and lo cal bills the consideration of the Texas Resolu tions was again resumed. Mr. Simmons having the floor, resumed and concluded his remarks from yesterday in oppo sition to the measure. Mr, Merrick next obtained the floor, and to the great gratification of the friends of annexa tion, spoke in favor of annexation. Up to this time Mr. M. has been considered as doubtful. Mr. Huntington followed on the other side. I think it probable the debate will terminate to-morrow night. In the House, several bills Were received from the Senate and read twice. Among them was the bill authorizing the South Carolina R. Road Company to import, free of duty, suffi cient iron to test the practacability of an atmos pheric rail way. It was referred to the Com mittee on Commerce. After the passage of some unimportant bills, the consideration of the General Appropriation Bill was again resumed in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Holmes moved to amend by inserting $■1,000 for the Charleston Custom House, but the Chair ruled it out of order. Mr. Holmes asked for the reasons, but the Chair said lie was not compelled to give any. A very summary modeofdisposingof a difficulty, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll moved to amend by in serting $62,000 for the outfit of Ministers to Great Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Aus tria, Spain and Mexico. It was rejected, but at a subsequent stage it was in another form agreed to. This lias reference to the outfit of the new Ministers 'to be appointed to those places, under the coming administration. Mr. Ingersoll then moved to amend by ad ding “ For salary of Minister to China $6000, and outfit $6000.” Mr. Adams moved to amend by increasing it to $9,000 salary and $9,000 outfit. This was agreed to ; also an item allowing $3,500 for Secretary and Chinese Interpreter. An amendment being offered to the effect that hereafter the mileage of members shall be only $6 instead of $S for any 20 miles. Mr, Slidell moved further to amend by providing that no member shall be paid for the time lie may be absent except from sickness. This was agreed to, as was also an amendment re ducing the pay of members to $4 per day.— The question being then taken on the original amendment as amended, it was rejected by a large majority. A great uproar here ensued, members feel ing very merry. One gentleman moved to amend the bill by appropriating money to re pair damages before the “ Flood.” Other amendments equally ludicrous were moved and laughed down. Mr. Payne wanted to have a letter read re lative to some amendment, but the Chair de cided it to be out of order. Mr. Payne. “ Well I ask if it is in order for the House to act understanding^ on any subject ? Several cries of no, no, with bursts of laughter. The bill was then reported to the House, and the previpus question moved on the amend ments. The House then abjourned. February 22, In the Senate to-day, Mr. Evans reported back the West Point Academy bill, witlisome trifling amendments. Mr. Choate introduced a bill providing for a continuation of the Magnetic Telegraph from Baltimore to New York. There is no chance of the passage of such a bill at this late period Several petitions and private bills having been disposed of, Mr. Huntington resumed and concluded his speech against the Texas resolutions. In the course of his remarks, lie said that some of his constituents wereso much afraid of a war on this account, with Great Bri tain, that they were reluctant to send ship on long voyages. Mr. Ashley followed in reply, and in advo cacy of the Constitutional power of Congress to annex by joint resolution. After an able speech on the same side from Mr. Dickenson, the Senate adjourned. In the House the consideration of the Gen eral Appropriation Bill was resumed, the ques tion being concurred in the numorous amend ments reported from Committee of the Whole. The amendment appropriating $S000 for Morse’s Telegraph between this city and Balii- more, was concurred in without a division. The amendment appropriating S^OOO for outfit of Ministers under the coming adminis tration, was agreed to, as was also that provi ding $9000 outfit, and $9000 salafy for a Min ister to China, Yesterday sin amendment of $5000 was of fered by Mr. Holmes for the Charleston Cus tom House, but it was ruled out of order,—• Subseqnenlly, however, H. managed to divert the attention of Mr. Cave Johnson, who ob- jects, to almost every thing, and then succeed-* ed in getting the amendment, which was this morning agreed to by the House, It will not be opposed in the Senate. The amendment appropriating $69,740 for books, for members, was agreed to by a vote of 98 to 64. An amendment appropriating $80,000 for a fire proof building for the War and Navy De partments, was concurred in. Yeas 91, Nays S2. Numerous other amendments were concurr ed in, after which the bill was passed. fct’-T medical notice. A. I’ A HSON8 linn returned lo tlie oilv. and has 'I I lie duties of !\i, profession.

It will be seen, from our congressional col umns, that the close of this discussion is at hand. The purpose of the majority in favor of the measure to sit it out, os suggested by Mr. Benton, superceding one to fix a day for the vote, indicates that the suggestion will at once be acted on. It is probable, therefore, that the vote will be taken to-morrow night, or, at farthest, on Wednesday. Flie debate of this day was closed about 9 o’clock, by Mr. Mc Duffie, of South Carolina, with his usual power. Mr. Allen of Ohio has the floor to-morrow mor ning. Mr. Berrien gave indications that he would also deliver his views on the subject.— Mr. Walker will probably also address the Senate. The public is all anxiety os to the issue of this great question, and speculation i? busy in forming conjectures. Some suppose the House resolutions will paso, some the bill brought into the Senate, some that both will fail; our opin ion is that both wi.l pass in a blended form, submitting to the discretion of the President to be charged with the execution of the measure the choice of the most suitable mode to accom plish the common object. All who are really in earnest to bring Texas into the Union, will have no hesitation in trusting a President so devoted to the object, so pledged to adopt the surest and safest, and speediest steps for its ef fectuation, with full discretion over all the means provided in the joint resolutions and Mr. Benton’s bill. Even those sticklers who favor admission, but who insist on a treaty as the on ly legitimate plan of bringing it about, might sec in this plan the possible accomplishment of their own views. It includes, in terms, the treaty-making power as one of the modes of ac quisition that may be resorted to j and it might so happen, that this would be found the most prompt and certain way to the object, and if it should be so, all the distressing scruples which harrass so many of the opponents of the meas ure would at once be blown away. But with the plenary powers of both the House and Sen ate proposals, every conceivable project, with the means to boot, in the hands of a chief ma gistrate who all are satisfied, will leave nothing undone that can be rightly done to restore Tex as to the Union; and with all the rights guar antied by the treaty by which she first became ours, and is, in fact, now ours, in virtue of the will of the people of both countries, who are on ly awaiting the formulas of legislation to appear what they really are—ONE PEOPLE. Prom the National Intelligencer, -51 h ult. The debate on the Texas question was yes terday continued in the Senate, in the manner which the reader will find stated in the account of the proceedings of that body. In the House of Representatives, the Senate’s bill for the reduction of Postages on letters, &c. was taken up, and the whole day’s sitting spent upon it. A resolution, passed before the ad journment, provides that all debate on the bill shall cease in two hours after it shall be again resumed in Committee of the whole, the adop tion of which indicates that there is a majority of the House favorable to the principles of the bill. Ensrldnd, France, and the U. States. The London correspondent of the N. York Courier & Enquirer, holds the following lan guage : “It was generally expected some days since, that the Texan and Oregon questions would have been introduced incidentally or indirect ly, into the speech of Count Mole, and other members ef the opposition, but all referrence to the United States, was and will be cautious ly avoided. The game of M. Guizot, and of Count Mole, is, for the moment, the same— in one particular—to profess to court ‘the Eng lish alliance.’ It cannot, therefore, be anti, cipated that either will allude unnecessarily to a subject upon which they would have to pro nounce in some sort against Great Britain.— The declaration of King Louis Phillippe to Mr. King, your Minister, that ‘"in no circumstan ces” would France take a hostile part against the United States is tncitly considered a suffi. cient pledge of friendship—one that requires no confirmation from either M. Guizot or Count Mole—either of whom urging it, would be dam aging his own case, with, or claim for the sup port of—the British Government. The sym pathies of France are unquestionably for the American Union, and against England—but policy may call for, and exact temporizing, for tlie European Governments persist in practis- ing a science which the United States rejects— I mean ‘•Diplomacy” with its attendants dis simulation and intriguer Deplorable would be a war between the American Union and Great Britain; but a certain result of it would be the declaration of France in favor of the former. Not all the visits to Europe and to Windsor, nor all the interchange of snuff-boxes, poodles, stag-bounds, and smelling bottles, fto say no thing of rounds of beef,) could prevent the manifestation of the Nationol sympathy for tlie United Slates. Let us hope, however, that it Will not come to this;” FOURTH OF MARCH BALL.

A London conwmporary. which devotes itself mainly to the statistics of trade, estimate the Cotton crop of the pre sent year at 2,500.000 bales, and founds upon this calcula tion the following view of the traffic in the staple:— ."The distribution of the crops of toe last four years has been as follows: 1841. 1842. 1843.

Europe last year experienced a proportionate decline, but that a steady increase in con- sumption goes forward in the U. States. From the advices which we have already received, we have reason to be lieve that an important increase of shipments to France, and to other parts of the Continent, wilt take place during the prasent year, and also that a continued increase will be experienced*in the consumption of the States. The diffi culty experienced in procuring Cotton Yarn in this country for the Continental demand, and the rise in price, cannot fail to put all the Continental mills in full operation j and we cannot be wrong in increasing tfur estimate of the ship ments above even those of 1813, In proportion as the whole crop is larger. The American consumption and the stock left at the end of the year should also be increased in sim ilar proportion. Our estimate will then stand thus »-* Total supply. Distribution. Stock, Sept.

And there is every reason W believe, that in consequence of the lessened demand for China, and the continued bad accounts of Cotton Wool from that quarter, that a still larger supply will be received from the East in the present year.

Showing an increase of 187,769 bales. Throughout the whole of these ealculations,estimating the crop at 14,500,000 bales, we have assumed every thing greatly in favor of a reduction of slock in this country—we have assumed a de mand for home consumption snd export of nearly 3000 bales per week more than last yet r—we have assumed a con sumption and additional stock left on hand in the United States equal to 110,000 bales more than last year, we have assumed the direct shipments to France and the Continent to exceed those of last year by 143,009 bales, and yet, not withstanding all these extensive estimates, the stock will eppearto stand at Christmas next, 167,760 bales more than at the commencement oftheyear, so that, if even the crop should be reduced from the estimate generally now taken, even below the yield af 1842-’43, and the whole of that re duction were lo be taken from the proportion assigned to Great Britain, our stock at Christmas next would still show an increase even on that of the 31st December, which was the largest, not only positively, but even relatively to the present enormous consumption ever known. Ourgreut ob ject in entering so minutely and carefully into those esti mates has been to show, that scarcely under any conceiva ble circumstances can a reduction ofour preseut stock take place during the present year, as far as it can be effected by the extert of the forthcoming crop or the consumption of the year.
