I ROM WASHINGTON.
Our special correspondent transmits In us the
following notice of yesterday’s proceedings in
Congress:
WASHINGTON, April 39.
UN IT HD STATUS SENATE.
.Mr. CLAY, of Ky., presented a memorial,
praying Congress to use its exertions to prevent
the enforcement of the treaty of New Ecliola,
and a.-kmg Congress to aid in tlie establishment
of an International Congress for the settlement
of differences* Mr. Clay pressed the considera
tion of Congress to the last proposition contained
in the memorial, lie considered it a matter of
great importance, and the prayer of the petition
era commended itself to all present. The peti
tioners, he said, had fora long time held the
object prayed for in view, and bad addressed
several Legislative Indies upon the subject.—
'flic Legislature of Massachusetts had given
special protection and encouragement to the pro
pOH ion.
The petitioners were desirous that the United
Stales should take the b ad in this pacific and
n »ble measure. Whether the prayer shniibi he
giuntcd or not, all would do ji.s i. -e to the mo.
liv- sos the petitioners. Mr. Clay did not doubt
dial a great portion of Ibe ilifliiibies between
nations nngbi be found capable of a satisfactory
a-tjustineii without a resort to war. 'flic im
provements in I he use of steam, bringing nut ions
together that were afar olf, the establishment of
railroads an I other mlereonimuiiiealions, would
soon render it impossible that one nation should
goto war with another, without injuring the bu
siness and detracting fiom the prosperity of all.
This at no distant day would lessen if not en
tirely prevent the re cur re nee of war. Franklin,
among other philosophers and statesmen, and
Henry the fourth of Franco, among other mon
arebs, had favored this peaceful proposition, and
he could not but think that by and by it would
, be adopted.
The memorial was laid on the table and or
dered to be printed, when Mr. CLAY said that
while he was up he wished to miiko an inquiry
of the Chairman of the Committee of Finance,
i Mr. Ciuy said he did not doubt hut that he bad
i lie concurrence of the honorable Chairman that
the period had now arrived when it was a very
important moment in the monetary affairs of’
(lie country. Some of the banks in Boston and
New York bad already resumed specie pay
merits, and others were upon the point of fol
lowing this good example. Air. Clay hoped the
, example would speedily he followed, at least as
! tar as the hanks were a ilc, though he feared the
hanks in the South Western States were not yet
t rea«iy to resume. Mr. Clay said he therefore
wished to as :eriain of the Chairman of the Com
mittee of Finance whether there was before that
Committee, or whether the Executive had any
intention to bring forward, any measure of any
description, other than that which now lay upon
the table in the other House of Congress, with
a view to aid, strengthen, ami encourage the
•auks in the resumption of specie payments. —
If there was no intention in the Committee, or
in the Executive Branch of the Government to
do any thing on this subject,—thus leaving the
banks to go on unaided in this operation,—it
might be the duty of othe rs to suggest sonic inca
\ sure for this desirable purpose.
Mr. WRIGHT answered Mr. Clay, and said
there was nothing on the subject of currency
before the Committee which had not been refer,
red to them by order of the Senate, and that
there was nothing 0 n which they had not al
ready reported. As to what the Executive was
doing or intended to do, Mr. Wright said he was
as ignorant as the Senator from Kentucky. He
had nothing to say on that subject.
Mr. CLAY—That being the stale of the case,
and the Committee of Finance not having any
measure of relief or any measure intended to aid
the hanks in the resumption of specie payments
before them, and as the Executive of th« Uni
ted States did not intend, so far us was known,
to introduce any measure of relief, he would in.
trod nee the following Joint Resolution:
“Resolved hy the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives in Congress assembled, That nodiscri*
initiation shall he made as to the currency or me
dium of payment in the several branches of the
Public R venue in debts or dues to the Govern
ment, and that until otherwise ordered hy Con
gross, the notes of sound Ranks which are pay
able an I paid on demand in the legal enrrenev
ol the United Stales, under suitable restrictions’,
lobe forth with prescribed and promulgated by
the Secretary of the Treasury, shall he received
in payment of the Revenue and of Debts and
Dues to the Government, and shall be suhse.
qneiilly disbursed, in a course of public creditors
who are willing to receive them.
The resolutions being read,
Mr. GRUNDY said he was disposed to make
no defence or opposition to the resolution before
the Senate. He would suggest to the .Senator
whether ilie resolution ought not. restrict its ope
ration to Banks in the vicinity «>IT lie places where
the revenue was to he received.
Mr.CLAY said that the resolution did not.in
tend that hank notes should he received without
rest riel ions or without suitable regulations.
Power of discrimination was given to Hie Secre
tary of the Treasury. The discretion given to
the Secretary of the Treasury would be amply
snfli dent to meet all eases, hot this subject
would come up with the resolution.
The resolution, after a few explanatory re
marks, was then ordered to a second reading and
laid upon the table.

one hour in the consideration of motions and in
attempting Jo unravel the pcrplcxeu skein of mo

Mr. MAY. of 11. soon after twelve o’clock

UNITED STATUS SEX ATE.
The Senate finally passed the bills In fore that
body on Saturday for granting a right *>f way for
roads and ruonU over the public lands, ami for
tbe protection and security of tbe Indians and
emigrants west of the Slate of Arkanuas. Thin
bill was passed by yeas ami nays. 3J to o.
These bills have been sent to the lion, e for con
currence.
Mr. CLAY, after the engrossment of the bills
above named, asked the Senate at this time to
give bis Resolution touching the Banka and the
Currency a second reading.
Air. WRIGHT rose and moved t hut the Ueso.
lotion be referred to the Committee of Finance
—giving no reason for his motion.
Mr. CLAY ! mned that sonic reason would bo
given for (his. He defended the character and
adoption of the resolution as a measure of wise
policy for the (>eneral Government.
Mr. WRIGHT said the resolution was nunc,
ecssary. The Postmaster General and the Sc
c rot ary ofthe Treasury were doing the very thing
sought to be done by the resolution.
Then, said Mr. CLAY, allowing till;- to be
true, the statement is nut. true, ll only follows
that the Sccretaiy of the Treasury nnd the Post
master General are doing without law wliat my
resolution proposes shall he done by law. Mr.
Clay thought there could be no objections to the
» reception of Bank notes —of New York Bank
notes, for example, in the South and Soulb-Wcsl
—for such notes would a twin's be at a premium
in the South ami South-West. There could,
therefore, he no good reason lor not receiving
I Hindi notes when redeemed on demand in specie.
The measure was one of wise policy.
I have no doubt, continued AL . Clay, that the
time must come, and speedily come, when sonic
positive action would become necessary upon
this subject. Il'we caimol have a National Bank
to regulate our currency, —which hank would aid
and secure resumption,—let us have w * n thing
that will do what can ho done wilhou. a National
Bank to eif * t this object.
Air. CALHOUN said, I am very mm !i grati
fied that the Senator from Kentucky baa brought
forward lids re-olnlioll. The hanks were about
to resume specie payments, ami that, 100, with
out any aid fro n the G-m eal Government. So
much Tor leaving nature to work ilsown *■■ m:•.-■*.
Mr. Calhoun s.ri 1 ho should do nothing to aid
the union of lie- hanks with the Government.—
1 shall never ai l a lemiion, ami 1 shall do ail I
can t<* prevent any union. We mu*>t not unite
; ourselves \vi h 11n n. Air. Calhoun then said, 1
believe a National Bank in any ibnu or shape
ou! ofthe question eutiiidy, ami it*e.-lablished, 1
he!i vellial il would do more harm than good,
i Mr. DAVIS hoped tin motion would not pre
vail, He saw no mason for making snob a mo.
; lion. If the Commiilee of Finance wine dis
posed to give ns ii *le ailed report,—l Indr opinions
and reasons, —I lie motion might he *»f more ini
per!mice. But that Committee never bad made
a detailed report upon this snhjocl, or upon any
groat question ofThis charaelcr. And now, said ,
Mr. Davis, a bn* 'suing himsedr to the friends of
the Administration, you have tried your experi
ment of t.'ivore* ; yon have been io all intents
and purposes divorced fVom the hanks for the
past ten months, and what is the result'.' Yon
have alum.-I ruined tin; Government an i tin im
sincss prospeclH of the country. Your experi
ment has failed, and you have had warning up
on warning to abandon it. Why not abandon
it, then? The people have hooted at it, ami up
on all si les you have cult* alt* 8 and warning to
pursue a new policy. Any thing was In*tier than
the present state of things, ami il. was th.; time
for the Senator to Turn some expe:di m e upon
this subject —to do something for the relief of
lit* l country. The business of no country under
Heaven could prosper under this interference of
the Government, in its concerns, and he I rusted
the Government would abandon it. H ■ hoped
lln; resolutions woul J hoi he referred to the Com
miltce of I inance.
Mr. BENTON followed, and spoke of the
moral principle of hanks. Tnc hanks were to
resume, and no power coni ! prevent lln n. The
resolution was intended to make this a shin
plaster Government down to a penny. That
was the design of the resolution. It was to be
the sequence of others, ami Mr. Benton closed
his rcmaiks by saving that if he was not mis-
Taken he shorn' i thank I li-* mover of this resolu
tion for hringiog il forward,
Mr. CLAY said, I have nothing to say to I
what, has now hem said, lie wished !*» say in
answer to tin-Senator fi * o South Carolina, that
the resumption was not s » General as he suppo
sed. But a lew ofthe many Jia.iks had resu
med.
Air. CALHOUN rejoined, ami in some re
marks said he looked upon lie. 9uTo asury as
the great healing mi nsore ofthe Government.
Ho thought (lie .Suo-Tii as'iiy had brought about
i esiiinpt ion.
