Ato employ the land and naval forces of

dud naval forces) is given, “also, for the
- ieof preventing the carrying on of any

la lie opinion of the committee, the unlaw-
iiupeditionis “carried on from the territo-

i:rjurisdiction is clear, and the mandate is,
: : went the expedition being “carried on”
•mandate only to be obeyed by arresting
a ship, with those onboard, and bringing
Lc hack to answer the violated laws. Ihe
■] r;t of the act shows, that it was the intention
tithe law, by the largest use of the whole pub-
force of the United States, to put a stop to
b-e unlawful enterprises on tho part of our
riaena—whilst on land, and within the ordi-
uryjurisdiction of the country, by the army

u ia the harbors, bays, or rivers, the naval
■ ter. Xo distinction is made by the terms of
th tt, designating when the one arm is to be

utjerts its appropriate use. But after it was
twitdfrjm the “territories or jurisdiction,"
it *is (till to be prevented. How 1 By means
tt wurse, adequate to tho end. By seizure
itia when carried on by sea.
la the present case, however, it appears that
lleicr and his followers had effected a land-
>? w the shores of Central America, and with-
iathe territory of a foreign State, before they
*« arrested by Captain Paulding. _
ds 1 mere question of lawful authority, there
to be no doubt that no arrest is lawlul, un-
-•> made within the jurisdiction of the coun-
-7: ami as little, that this arrest was made
at the jurisdiction. But the committee
‘vdrtly agree with the President, that besides
^ Uited States, (the conduct of whose offi
sh in question,) none can take exception-
,j .bc set, except the State whose jurisdiction
'^wiavaded. Any complaint from Nica-
’'-1 of this violation of her territory, should
' .'wived with due respect, and, if required,
nnends should be made. But as between
k* naval officer who made tho arrest and his
“a government, whilst tho committee must

Allowance,'tott, should perhaps be made, in
A*ing this act, in tho anomalous condition
Jf lAe pl»cc where the arrest was made, and
A l ‘he landing was with hostile intent against

1 d the failure, cither to have arrested the
expedition of Walker before its departure,
to have intercepted it at sea, in the opinion
the committee, result from any defect in t.» u
law, or in the,orders and instructions issued
under it.
From documents communicated by the Exe
cutive to t.ie House of Representatives, not
embraced within the call of the Senate, the fol
lowing facts appear, and which the committee
append for information:
The stenmer “Fashion” cleared at Mobile
for San Juan de Nicaragua. Her manifest
showed nothing on board, but what the skipper
styled an “assorted cargo,” consisting of pro
visions, groceries, household goods, domestic
cloths, farming utensils, &c.; and the written
instructions to her supercargo, from the ship
pers, (which were amongst the vessel’s papers,)
directed him “to offer the shipment in that
market for cash, or to exchange it, or any part
of it, for the products of the country, at his
Discretion.” And she was to take, in addition
such passengers, as might choose to visit Cen
tral America. After the vessel left the port,
and while at anchor about six miles below tbe
town, she was again visited by an officer of the
customs, and search instituted, with a view to
discover whether there was anything to show
that sho was engaged in an unlawful voyage.
His report was, “that everything on board
agreed with the manifest deposited in the cus-
tom-honse by the captain in clearing the ves
sel.” No arms or munitions of war were dis
covered, and the passengers (some 270 in num
ber professed, in conversation, to be emigrants.
It was not known to the collector that Walker
was on board when the vessel sailed.
As arms and ammunition, in large supply,
were landed with the cargo at the Point Arenas,
it clearly appears that false manifests were
used to procure the clearance of the vessel;
and it also appears that false papers, in tbe na
ture of instructions to the supercargo, were
exhibited, to lull suspicion as to the true char
acter of the voyage.
The first act on her arrival on the coast of
Nicaragua, and before the vessel came to land,
was to detach a military expedition, fully arm
ed, in boats up the river Colorado, (one of the
outlets of the San Juan,) to seize a fortifica
tion in-land, and to command that river; the
next, to land Walker and the residue of his
party, with their arms and equipment, at Punta
Arenas, who immediately raised a flag and in
vested himself with all the insignia of the camp.
These facts carry with them irresistibly the
conclusions, first, that the expedition escaped
by false and deceptive practices at the custom
house ; and second, that is was (in violation of
the laws) a military expedition begun and set
on foot in the United States, to be carried on
from their territory and jurisdiction.
The claim frequently made that citizens of
the United States have the full right of expa
triation (however seldom carried into practice)
is one in no manner impaired, for less forbid
den, by the existing laws. Nor when the in
tent is bona fide merely to leave the country,
is it a subject of inquiry under the law, where
the person is going, or with what view ; and
yet it will ever be fount], that those whose pur
pose is to evade the real inhibitions of the law
always seek refuge or immunity under the
pretence of emigration.
The terms of the law are too cloar to be
cither misread, or misinterpreted, by innocent
persons. They make it only unlawful “to
begin and set on foot, or provide or prepare
the means of any military expedition or enter
prise, to be carried on from thence,” Sec.
To constitute the offence it must be shown—
1st. To be a military expedition that is ae r
signed; or, . .
2d. Tbp preparation or provision of the
means for a military expedition; and,
3d. That such military expedition is to be
Carried on from the United States against a
people or nation then at peace wjth tho United
States. _
Language cannot make it more plain, that
any number of citizens may leave the country,
singly, or in bands, for any purpose under the
sun, without being subject to question, provi
ded only that they do not go as a military ex
pedition set on foot within the UffiteJ States,
with intent to levy war against some foreign
State.
It was by such evasions, assbowp by the cor
respondence, that Walker sought to elude the
naval forces of tho United States after his lan
ding st Punta Arenas. In his letter to Capt.
Pauld ng of the 30th of November, dated at
that place, lie says:
“ I have the honor to Inform yon that I landed at
this po -t on Wednesday last from the steamer ‘Fash-
ion,’ In aring the United States flag, and from the
port of Mobile, Alabama. Accompanying mo were
a number of Officers belonging to the lycaraugan
service, und some emigrants from tho United States,
who desired to become naturalized citrons of this
republic.' The steadier was regularly cleared at
Mobile for tho port of San Juan do Nicarangn, aud
it was i cknowlcdged that her voyage was a legal
one. I need not add that the President and govern-
ment 01’tbe United States were fully advised of my
intention to return to Nicaragua.”
Thus, representing himself and officers only,
a$ in any manner connected with military life;
whilst the rest of his party were termed emi
grants, who desired to become naturalized citi
zens of Nicaragua, and claiming that tbe
steamer which carried them there had_ been
“ regularly cleared at Mobile,” and “ it was
acknowledged that her voyage was a legal
one.” ., , ,.
Compare these assertions with the false pa
pers and deceptive practices used at the cus-
tom-house to get the vessel cleared at Mobile,
above exhibited in the official letter of the coL
lector of that port; and connect them, too,
with the fact disclosed by tho first action of
Walker, with his “ emigrants desirous of nat
uralization," viz s The armed expedition de
tached in boats up the Colorado to seize an
in-land fort, and the military camp immedi
ately established on landing, as the “head
quarters of the army” (not imigrants) “of
The law of 1794, equally with that of 1818,
was fo indedin wise policy, to preserve the
peace of the country, and to maintain amity
and amicable relations with foreign. States. It
denounces its penalties only against those,
whether citizens or foreigners, who, while with
in its unsdiction, abuse the protection and
hospitalities of the laws by secret ajid unlaw
ful practicings, to wage private war against
nations with whom wo are at peace, and in
most cises dishonoring the American flag, used
to shield them in transportation. Were such
things tolerated, it would bo to commit the
peace of the country to every restless and tur
bulent adventurer who, unequal to, or dis
dainful of, the sober toils of peace, could find
food for his ambition only in the license of the
camp or in the rapine and ravages of war. It
would take the affairs of government (m our
foreign intercourse at least) from the bands of
those 'to whom they are committed, by the
consti tution and laws, and leave them under
the control, or at the pleasure, of unknown and
irresponsible agencies. Tho committee, on
full consideration, do not see that any amend
ment is required to the law of 1818, so far as
power is concerned to arrest on the high seas.
They find such power necessarily implied by
the terms of the 8th section. But, inasmuch
as that law maybe made more efficient by some
proper provisions for bringing offenders against
it to trial, who after arrest beyond the terri
torial jurisdiction of the United States are
brought back to tho country, they report a
bill for that purpose.
Dmoustiko Scenk—Hung while Drunk.
A large concourse of people assembled in bo-
nora, Cal., on Friday, 11th December, to wit
ness the execution of Robert 1 oor and James
Lyocs for the murder of John Blakely, and
Edward McCauly for tho murder of Wesley
Bonds. . r
A number of clergymen were on the scat-
fold, exhorting and praying. About ~ 0 clock,
the heretofore solemn spectacle was changed
to a perfect farce or rather a tragedy, the
most horrid and sickening imaginable, ilie
prisoners had been furnished with such quanti
ties of brandy that, with the exception of Ly
ons, they were absolutely staggering with
drr nkcnncss. The solemn warning was now
fol lo' ved by bar-room toasts, braggadocia jesta,
£db£2. Poor was 50 much int0 f ,ca r ed

repentance, were “ I am going to die „•> 11C >

China.
The Quarterly Jteru sc recently had a very valua
ble paper on Travels in C ana, from which we ex
tract the following:
The assertion that the Chinese are a semi-bar
barous nation is denied by almost every traveller
who has penetrated beyond their ports and lived
freely among the people. In the refinements of
life, in courtesy, humanity and domestic affection
they are at least our equals, and in some respects
our superiors; and if we have far outstriped them
in science, we may yet do well to call to mind how
many of our arts, luxuries and pleasures come to
us from the East, and that wo were once the pu
pils of those of whom we now boast ourselves the
masters. The items of the account can no where
be better read than in an admirable passage from
a work by Dr. Draper, an American:
If the European wishes to know how much he
owes to the Asiatic, he is only to cast a glance at
an hour of his daily life. The clock which sum
mons him from his bed in the morning was the in
vention of the East, os were also clepsydras and
sun-dials. The prayer for his daily bread, which
he has said from his infancy, first rose from the
side of a Syrian mountain. The linens and cot
tons with which he clothes himself, though they
may be very fine, are inferior to those which hare
been made from time immemorable in the looms of
India. The silk was stolen by some missionaries,
for his benefit, from China. He could buy better
steel than that with which he shaves himself in the
old city of Damascus, where it was first invented.
The coffee he expects at breakfast was first grown
by Arabians, and the natives of Upper India pre
pared the sugar with which he sweetens it. A
school-boy can tell the meaning of the Sanscrit
words sacchara canda. If his tastes are light and
he prefers tea, the virtues of that excellent leaf
were first pointed out by the industrious Chinese.
They also taught him how to make and use the cup
andsaucer in which to serve it His breakfast tray
was lacquered in Japan. There is a tradition that
leavened bread was first made of the waters of the
Ganges. The egg he is breaking was laid by a fowl
whose ancestors were domesticated by the Malac
cans, unless she may have been—though that will
not alter the case—a modern Shanghai. If there
are preserves and fruits on the board, let him re
member with thankfulness that Persia first gave
him the cherry, the peach, the plum. If in any
of those delicate preparations he detects the flavor
of alcohol, let it remind him that that substance
n as first distilled by the Arabians, who have set
him the praiseworthy example, which it will be for
his benefit to follow, of abstaining from its use.—
When be talks about coffee and alcohol, be is using
Arabic words. We gratify our taste for personal
ornament in the way that Orientals have taught us,
with pearls, rubies sapphires, diamonds. Of public
amusements it is the same. The most magnificent
fire w orks ore still to be seen in India and China ;
and as regards the pastimes of private life, Europe
has produced no invention which can rival the
game of chess. We have no hydraulic construc
tions as great as the Chinese canal—po fortifica
tions as extensive as the Chinese wall- We have
no Artesian wells that can at all approach in depth
to some of theirs; we have not yet resorted to the
practice of obtaining coal gas from tbe earth ; they
have borings for that purpose more than three
thousand feet deep.

WOLFE’S celebrated
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
A Medicinal Diet Drink, of eminently salutary
qualities, manufactured by himself exclusively, at
bis faetpry at Schiedam, in Holland.
It is made from the best Barley that can bo select
ed in Europe, with the essence of an aromatic Ital
ian berry of acknowledged and extraordinary medi
cinal properties. It has long since acquired a high
er reputation, both in Europe and America, than
any other diuretie beverage. -
In Gravel, Gout, and Rheumatism, in Obstructions
of the Bladder and Kidney*, and in general Debili
ty, it* effects are prompt, decided, and invariably re
liable. And it is not only a remedy for these mala
dies, but, in all cases in which they are produced by
drinking bad water, which is almost universally the
cause of them, it operates as a sun preventive.
The distressing effect upon tho stomach, bowels
and bladder, of travelers, or new residents, and al
persons unaccustomed to them, produced by the wa
tera of nearly all our gre*t inland riyers, iikothe
Ohio, Mississippi, and Alabama, and from the large
quantity of decayed vegetable matter contained in
them, in a state of solution, is well known as also
that of the waters of limestone regions, in producing
Gravel, Calculi, and Stone in the Bladder. The Ar
omatic Schiedam Schxapps is an absolute correc
tive of these injurious properties of had water, and
consequently prevents the diseases which they oc
casion. It is also found to.be a cure and preventive
of Fever and Ague, a complaint caused by the con
joint effect of vegetable malaria in the atmosphere
and vegetable putrescences in tho waters of those
districts in which it principally prevails. The Aro
matic Schiedam Schnapps is consequently in great
demand by persons travelling, or about to setlto in
those parts of the country, especially, as well as by
many in every community where it has become
kuown, on account of its various other remedial,
^ In all cases of a Dropsical tendency, it is general
ly tho' only temedy required, whea adopted in tlie
early stages of the disease. In Dyspepsia maladies,
when taken in proper quantities, as a diet dnnk, and
especially at dinner, it is found, by uniform experi
ence, to be eminently efficacious in the most obsti
nate cases, when even the best of the usual reme
dies have failed to afford raoro th«a_ temporary re
lief. In oases of Flatulency, it is aia immediate and
invariable specific; and it may bo administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to young
nfants, in all those paroxysms of griping pain in the
stomach f.nd bowels to which they are especially
subject, as well as in tbe colic of grawn person*.
Its juditiou* adoption in connection with the prin
rinnl meal), or when a sense of exhaustion dictates
its use, never fails to relieve tbe debility attendant
noon protracted chronic maladies, low temperament,
and exhausted vital energy, by whatever cause in
duced. These are facts to which many of the most
eminent medical men, both in Europe and the Uni
ted States, havo boin testimony, and which are co-
roborated by their highait written authorities.

NEW AND SUPERIOR
SPECTACLES.
Important to all KuOcrlng from defective
sight, arising either from age or other
Causes.
M R. J. M. KAHN, late of Paris and London, wish
ing to call the attention of the inhabitants of
this City, to an inspection of his large stock of
BRAZILIAN PEBBLES,
Ground npon the most approved and unerring prin
ciples. Lamentable and irretrievable are the effects
caused by the use of improper spectacles, yet unfor
tunately the natural anxiety to be properly suited,
instead of inducing the public to apply at once to
skilfol and experienced Optician*, too often renders
them the unsuspecting dopes of pretenders.
The attention Mr. K. has paid to tho nature and
physiology of the eye, joined with the practice ho
has had in this department of science, renders him
-capable, npon examination and inspection of the eye,
to give the greatest assistance that art can accom
plish, in renovating and restoring the natural bright
ness of vislonarv sensation, which has been injured
by the use of d’efective or improper Glasses, or by
any known canse.
Mr. K. would also respectfully call the attention of
tbe public, to an inspection of his large assortment
of&tcreoHcopic View*. Among the latest inven
tions of Optics, then ic nothing more instructive or
amusing than tbe
COSMOK.4.MIC STEREOSCOPE.
The Stereoscope Views are impressions from Na
ture, representing tho finest Sceneries, Cities and
Monuments, which viewed through tho instrument,
show these objects in hold relief, actually as they are,
and those are the best models for Artists, give the
best idea of Foreign Countrios and make tho finest
parlor ornaments.
Mr. K. may be found in Tf xv*Iai!igton Block,
rooms over Snutabury’s Store for a few days on
ly, with a fine and large assortment of Pebble Spec
tacles, and Eyo Glasses, set in Gold, Silver and Steel
