The U. S.

Senate agreed to take up the bill of Mr. Mason, from the Foreign Committee, on Saturday last The death ot Senator Henderson, of Texas, announced that day, suspended business of course, and we have no news since of any action on the bill The preliminary debates, however, develop the fact that, with entire unanimity in the total denial of the British pretensions in the Golf, and in indignant resentment at the unlawful violence practiced against our vessels there, there is a difference of opinion in that body as to the order and time of movement Every Senator who has spoken on the subject avows the determination to support measures for putting an end to these outrages, requiring atonement for the injuries already done, and obtaining a definite security for the future. But there is no settled opinion yet manifested as to the course which it would be judicious, dignified and effective to pursue. The first movement proceeded from Senator Douglas, who introduced a bill to give power to the President in cases of flagrant violation of the laws of nations, upon the flag of the United States or the rights or property of citizens, where in his opinion delay would be incompatible "with the honor and dignity of the Republic, to employ force to prevent the perpetration, and to obtain redress, without waiting for the authorization of Congress. The proposition was general, and includes all cases of outrage by any power whatever.

England is not named. Subsequently, the Committee on Foreign Affairs made their report in response to the President's message announcing the facts. This report, and the resolutions attached, bear unequivocal testimony against the flagrant and indefensible character of the British outrages in the Gulf, and declare that they require such unequivocal and final disposition of the subject by the governments of Great Britain and of the United States, touching the rights involved, as shall preclude hereafter the recurrence of the like aggressions." They refer, with approval, to the measures taken by the President, in sending all the disposable force of the navy to the infe sted quarter, with orders to protect American vessels, as being sufficient in the present aspect of the case, until information is received from England of the light in which these acts in the Gulf are viewed by the British Government. Unless that information shall be of a character to satisfy the just demands of this government, and at the same time furnish a guarantee against the repetition of the offence," legislation is then recommended to be adapted to a state of things not compatible with peaceful relations between the two countries." The course of the Foreign Committee isf therefore, to announce our doctrines, our determination and our pnrposes to sanction the measures of the President, applied to the existing emergency and to prepare for hostilities if they should be made necessary by the determination of the British Government not to accede to our just demands. Some of the Senators were for more peremptory measures of instant redress war measures in fact without waiting a day for the avowal or disavowals of Great Britain.

They were for sinking the offending British ships, orbrisging them in to be condemned as prizes, at once but the prevailing tone of the Senate was for a more moderate, but not less effective, line of policy, by which before direct war measures are taken opportunity shall be given to the British Government to disclaim the buccaneering conduct of its officers in the Gulf, and satisfy the wounded dignity of the United States. But Congress, although evidently not prepared to rush into war at once, without explanation from England, has given some signs of sensibility to the precautions which are needed to enable us to maintain any position we may be required to take hereafter, arising out of the disturbed state of jour foreign relations with several governments, other than those with England. We have noted the various propositions which find support, for increasing the numbers and efficiency of thel navy, and the willingness freely expressed to make large appropriations for these objects. Whatever may be the issue of the British quarrel, these measures ami appropriations are indispensable in order to enable our Government to deal effectually with various foreign powers, with whom we have unsettled questions that wear an unfriendly aspect. They should be adopted on general considerations of national policy, which de.

mand increased numbers aud greater efficiency 1o the navy. To be respected a nation must be so prepared that it cau enforce reaped to whatever demands its honor or its interests may require to be made. This necessity is recognized by the bill reported from the Foreign Committee, which is the pending subject before the Senate. It is a substitute for the bill of Mr. Douglas, for authorizing the use of force by the President without the previous direction of Congress, That bill was directed, in effect, against Eng land alone, although general in its terms.

without mentioning England. The committee appear to think that the steps taken by the President, and the positions assumed in their own report, towards England, cover that case sufficiently, as a separate issue, until tidings are received from that Government and they accordingly reported a bill by which summary powers are given to the President as against the Mexican and Central American States, from which we have suffered grave aud repeated outrages." This substitute enumerates, as transgressors against us, the Republics of Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and New Granada, and then provides That the President bt and he is hereby, authorised to employ much force aa be may deem ueresaary by blockade or otherwise, to obtain reparation aud redress for sin injuries or on traces as may be shown tf) him to have been committed by the Governments of said republics, er by those acting under the authority of said Governments, or by insurrectionary or revolutionary forces with the respective territories of Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Now Oranada. or elsewhere, upon the persons or property ot citizens of the United States, or to agord protection to the persons or property citizen, of the United States against any sadden attack or threatened attack ou the persons or property of auch citizens passing in transit over the Panama Railroad, or any other transit route across the Isthmus of Central Anmrica or Mexico or further, aa the case may require, to prevent the commission of such injuries and eutrage, and thut the Piesident communicate to Congress, as early as may be practicable thereafter, the facts in each cine, together with the reasons for his action in the premises, for such further action, if any therein, as Congress shall direct. This act to continue in force until the first day of January, looO." This is the bill which is to be the subject of discussion, and our readers will perceive that it leaves the British question untouched further than was provided for in the committee's own resolution; and that it opens for discussion the whole theory of our true policy in the Gulf of Mexico, towards Mexico and the Central American States, and by necessary implication towards the foreign governments who are showing a disposition to interfere therein to our prejudice and injury. The debate and the decision will be an extremely important one.

The bill may not find favor, but the judgment elicited on the questions involved will be of deep interest. We are only afraid that the lateness of the session and the impatience of members to bring it to a close, may leave it among the unfinished business. The day has come, however, when the people of the whole country will no longer be patient with any Administiation or Congress which fails to take a bold position on theae topics and to maintain it with its whole capacity aud all the force it may control. liATER FROM MEXICO. Arrival the Tennessee.

The steamship Tennessee, Capt Forbes, which left Vera Cruz, on her regular day, Monday, the 7th inst, arrived here yesterday On freight the Tennessee brings to F. Cam. erden $2,260 in specie to F. de Fuentes Sc 100 bales coffee to E. J.

Forstall Sc. Co. 223 boxes sugar; to Brugueire 2 cases vanilla beans and 1 case books to Cramer 3 cases vanilla beans and to Puig Sc Avendano, 1 case vanilla beans. Capt. Forbes reports that the British steamer Solent left Vera Cruz for Havana on the 4th inst that the American bark Wildfire sailed for Sisal on the 6th and that on the 5th the bark Brilliant arrived at Tera Cruz from this pert The mail express from the capital reached Vera Cruz in time for the Tennessee but we have no correspondence thence and no papers except the Extraordinary, of the 'Jl'th ult.

We have full files of the Vera Cruz Pro greso to the 6th inst. inclusive. We perceive from an announcement in the Extraordinary that the Heraldo is extinct, and that its succeseor, the Aurora, had also disappeared after one issue, on account abundantly good reason for Mexice, forsooth of supreme displeasure with the conduct of the editor, Sefior Godoy." The Extraordinary says the city has been much excited by a decree of the Government imposing a forced loan of 1 per cent, on the capital of foreigners. With regard to the liability of citizens to it, it quotes the article from the; treaty of December 20, 18 J6 Art. 10.

In all that relates to the police of the port 8, the lading aud unlading of ships, the safety of merchandise, goods, and effects, the subjects of His Britannic Majesty, and the citizens of Mexico, respectively, shall be subject to the local laws and regulations of the dominions and territories in which they may reside. They shall be exempted from all compulsory military service, whether by sea or land. No forced loans shall be levied upon them nor shall their property be subject to any other charges, requisition, or taxes, than such as are paid by the native subjects or citizens of the contracting parties in their respective dominions. With regard to American citizens loHg correspondence is published, iu which Mr. Forsyth, V.

S. Minister at Mexico, announces that a meeting of members of the diplomatic corps had been held, but that they were not of accord aud that be had subsequently formally protested against the enforcement of the de. cree He recommends American, citizens to "decline to make the declaration required by the 8th article of the decree of the 15th, and decline to pay any contributions which may be assessed upon their capital by the commissioners provided lor that purpose." We have not the decree before us, but it would seem that its object is to coniel a declaration of the amount of capital possessed. The protest of Mr. Forsyth is published at full length.

It appears from this that there wore in fact two decrees, virtually, however, only parts of one. Mr. Forsyth says: By the first, a "contribution" is imposed, for once only, of about one jmt upon every capital of real and personal property, of the value of not less than live thousand dollars, and not exceeding one million five hundred thousand dollars. This contribution" is to be paid, one fourth in fifteen days, one fourth in twenjy days, eue fourth in forty days, and pne loui tu in fifty days, from tho date of the publication of the decree; stringent regulations are provided for the prompt discovery of the amount of property possessed by individuals, and for the collection of the contribution that may be claimed upon it provision is also made for the repayment of the 'contribution" in shares of the National Bank, established by the second decree, and the National Bank, thus supplied with its capital and its stockholders, is invested with the general control of the finances of the nation. He then quotes the Diario OJicial, to show that the object of the impost was to Bustaiu troops and establish a National Bank and Sr.

Othon, Governor of San Luis, as speaking of it as tprestamo forzoto and expresses the opinion that it is destitute of all the elements of a regular tax, but has, ou the contrary, all those which constitute a forced loam" His reasons are given as follows I 'irst It is irregular and unusual in its inception it is imposed, not by virtue of anv subsisting or customary laws, but by virtue of a sudden and unexpected decree: it is to be enforced by rapid and stringent steps it is to tAke effect for once only, "par una tola vez It is a temporary, financial expedient, suggested by the pressing necessities of civil strife, and has no analogy with any system of taxa tion recognized ana practiced by nations, gov erned by sound aud stable laws. Second It is partial, unequal and uujust in its operation leaving, as it does, two extremes above and below which no contribution at all is laid, and establishing a large iucqualitv iu the bases of contribution by those capital's that are within those extremes. I With these large exemptions from all "contribution," and with these inequalities among those who are compelled to pay, the undersigned must deem it as differing, lolo ctln, from a lawful tax, which, from very na ture, must he general, umlorm and just. 'Hard It is irregular and unusual in its appropriation From the statemeut already i alluded to in the "Diario Oficial," and from his own observations, the undersigned is satis lied that the funds obtained by means of this contribution are intended to be employed, in the first instance, to sustain troops engaged in the civil war, now unhappily devastating the country, and afterwards to form, in whole or in part, the basis of the National Bank, with the shares of which it is proposed to repay it. Mr.

ForsTth then contends that, ill accord I ance with the soundest principles of interna 1 tionul law. t.hA nrnnwrtr of tliA ctm m. 1 mains free from any such appropriation, iu any foreign country, as is made by this de. cree and finally refers to the British treaty, as above quoled, as showing that no forced loans shall be levied," and to our treaty of April 5, 1831, placing United States citizens upon the same footing of the most favored nation, and therefore not liable to forced loans." The Constitutional Jnarez, has issued a decree declaring the decree of Zuloaga, closing all ports but Trypan, Tam picoand Mazatlan, null, and providing for the discharge of vessels without the forms required from consulates under the law of the 31st of January, 1856, when consuls, pleading the Zuloaga decrees as supreme, shall refuse to comply with them, at the requirement of the constitutional authorities. The general condition of the country remains much as at last advices, no event of importance apparently having transpired that we have not already laid before our readers.

Mr. James A. Pleasant had been welcomed as S. Consul at Minatitlan on the part of the Constitutional President Juarez. EF The Vicksburg True Southron, of yes.

terday, 10th, says it has heard nothing more of the reported crevasse in Issaquina county, Miss. Military Movement. The St. Louis Repab. licau says Orders have been issued for the march of about two hundred troops from Memphis to California, via the Southern route.

They take with them some four hundred horses, iu tended for cavalry service in California. A lare number of wagons were shinned on board one of our Memphis boats a day or two since, intended for this command, but before the vessel got under wav, the order was countermanded, and they nave not been sent. CoL FauEtleroy goes in command, and Capt Smith, of this" city, is also ordered ou this duty. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGKNCB. Special to the New (ftieui Picayune.

On motion of Mr. Mallory, a resolution was adopted directing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the condition of Forts Jefferson and Taylor, at Kev West and Tortugas, and the expediency and expeuse of putting them in a defensible condition. Mr. Douglas introduced a bill reviving an act passed on the 3d of March, 1839, in relation to the disputes between the United States ana Ureat Britain in me matter vi eastern boundary. ITIia liill lis nres anted bv Mr.

D. is SO modi fied as to make its term's applicable to the question now placed at issue by the recent transactions tne unit oi Mexico, xi juiw co at the disposd of the President, to be used when in his judgment deemed necessary, the military and naval forces of the country. It authorizes him to call into service fifty thou keand volunteers, or so many as may be neces J.tlluva eary, anil appropriates ten iauuiuod to meet the liabilities created by these extraordinary measures. Provision is also made for the despatch of a special Ambassador to Great Britain, if judged expedient by the President. The act is to continue in force from the date of its passage until sixty days after the next meeting of Congress.

We may further add, that the act which it js now proposed to reproduce in relation to the pending question between the United States and Great Britain originally passed the Senate unanimousely on motion of Mr. Buchanan, then a Senator from Pennsylvania. Mr. Kennedy introduced a bill to establish a line of mail steamships between certain ports of the United States and Great Britain. This bill provides for establishing a line of steamers between the ports of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore.

Norfolk, Savannah and New Orleans, in the United States, and Southampton, iu England. A joint resolution prolonging the present session of Congress until the 14th inst. was adopted. Mr. Yulee called np the bill creating the office of Fourth Assistant l'oatmaster General the discussion on which was interrupted by the arrival of the hour appointed for the consideration ol the special order, being the miscellaneous appropriation bill, which was next debated upom a variety of amendments until a late hour, when the Senate proceeded to hold an executive session.

Houe. The House acted on the report of the Committee on Elections iu relat ion to the right of Mr. Kingsbury to retain his seat as delegate from Minnesota, and the claim of Mr. Fuller, the contestant; and finally decided that the admission of Minnesota as a State operate as a dissolution of the territorial organization, and that the portiou of territory outside the limits of a State, being without a legal organization, was not entitled to a delegate. This was carried by a vote of 102 to 85.

Mr. Davis, of Mississipi, asked leave to introduce a joint resolution requiring the President of the United States to give instructions to our navy to arrest all offending British vessels until ample reparation be made for outrages already committed and iruarantees given for future exemption from visitation. Mr. Clay stated that the subject was before the Committee on Foreign Relations, and that they were prepared to report. Upon a suspension of the rules, bv a vote of 15 1 to 43, the resolution of Mr.

Davis was received and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The House concurred in an important bill from the Senate, to extend the act of February, 1853, granting half pay to certain widowB and orphans, so as to continue such pensions to the widows during life, or as long as they remain unmarried, and to the orphans where there is no widow, until they attain the age of sixteen years. The House also concurred in the amendment of the Senate to the bill authorizing the issuing of certain bounty laud warrants to the legal representatives of deceased persons entitled, thereto. The warrants are declared to be personal chattels, and can only be as signed for the benefit of the heirs or legatees. The House amended the Senate's resolution extending the session to the 14th inst by substituting the 10th as the day for adjournment.

Mr. J. G. Jones reported back from the Committee ot Ways and Meuus a bill regulating the disbursement ol the public revenue, so amended as to allow disbursements iu certain cases to be made directly. A long discussion took place on the Senate's amendments to the consular aud diplomatic appropriation bill.

There being no quorum present, the House adjourned. 13 The Jefferson (Cass county, Gazette is informed that the oat crop throughout that section of country is entirely ruined by rust. More Crrrngsrs. The Vicksburg Whig, of yesterday, the l'th says: Mr. Schoolfield, the clerk of the Boone, which boat arrived here yesterday, informs us thiit on Monday evening, when they left Memphis, the river was on a Maud.

At Helena it was risintr at the rate of one inch in I hours, and at Napoleon it was stationary. He also says that the levee has given way to the overpowering pressure of the Mississippi, iu three places above here during the last two or three days. The first is at the place of Col. Miles H. McOee, some "20 miles above l'renties, in Bolivar county, the place where the levee gave way during the first rise, but had since been mended.

This break will, however, do but little damage, and no doubt ere this it has been stopped. The second is at the plantation of Gen. Clark, in the neighborhood of Prentiss. A flat bout had been sunk in it and they had almost succeeded in stopping it. The third is at the plantation of Mr.

Wilburn, iu Cypress Bend. This break is but small, will do" but little damage, and can be easily stopped. The Ken jrinn Utah. The St. Louis Republican, of the 5th has the following remarks in reference to the reports that Gov.

Cumming had been driven out of Salt Lake City: Tbe express bringing the news arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the 1st, and the accounts already published were of that date. Yesterday we met with a gentleman who left Fort Leavenworth on Wednesday, the '2d, and who was a listener to all the discussions, and read all the letters received from Camp Scott "np to the Cth of May. He discredits the news of Gov. Cumming having been driven out of Great Salt Lake City. The letters from Camp Scott, of the latest date, make no mention of any such event.

Nothing, iudeed, was known there of what was going on in Great Salt Lake City, there being, uufortunately, no official intercourse between Gov. Camming and Gen. Johnston. We do not know how this estrangement has been brought about, but that it exists is quite certain. The letters further state, that Gen.

Johnston had issued his orders for the march to Salt Lake about the 15th May, but as the peace commissioners would arrive about that rime, it is possible that some delay followed their appeal ance there. It is said, also, that the troops were living on mule meat, but. that information had been received that a supply of beef cattle from Oregon was within four days' travel from the encampment of Gen. Johnston. Col.

Hoffman, with supplies from Fort Laramie, it is now said, was within seven to nine days' inarch of Camp Scott. It is certain that despatches from Gov. Cumming to the Secretary of State have gone forward to Washington These despatches were not put up in the mail from Camp Scott. They were received there subsequent to the f'th of May. with instructions to put them through with all speed; and it was the two Mormons who were the bearers of thesa despatches that circulated the report that Gov.

Cumming had been driven out of Salt Lake City. This looks improbable, and we incline to think that the despatches from Gov. Cumming, still i.n Great Salt Lake City, are the result of consultations between Gov C. aud Brigham Young ry The New Hampshire Legislature met at Concord on the 24 inst. "i7" It is announced that the Hartford (Coma.) Fire Insurance Company has declared a semi annual dividend of ten per cent, and has a reserved surplus over its capital of $100,000.

The Wheat Crop in Eastern Texas. The Jefferson (Cass county) Gazette, of the 5th inst, Bays Farmers are pretty well through with cut ting their wheat crop in this section of the State. We learn that there will be a heavier yield this year than has ever before been realized. Naval. The Norfolk Herald, of the 3d inst, says The U.

J8 sdpJtF Is view of tea relay season this spring, and in cease qaescs of Urge sorties of the Boats beisf inundated by tbe overflow ef the Mississippi and other rivers, it la reasonable to suppose that the general health of the CO an try will te a corresponding; extent suffer from Uie pestilential malaria, or miasma, which auch a state ef affairs will naturally preduee, manifesting Itself certainly and without fail In some one er more ef the saaay diseases so common In the South during the summer season. TeUow fever la yearly becoming more eemmom la our country, and If not yellow fever, cholera will be sure te take iU place, to aay nothing of the many types ef bilious satl typhoid fever, and fevrr and ague, which always claim their share ot victims for the grave. In view of theae facta, the true course to pursue is certainly that which wiU produce a natural stats ef things at the least hazard of vital strength and life for this end. Dr. HOS TETTER has introduced te this country a preparation called H09T1TTER STOMACH BITTERS, which at this day is not a new medicine, but one that bss been tried for years, giviag not only satisfaction to those who have used it, but has increased in popularity and general faver throughout not only the Atlantic States, but California, Oregon, and islands on the Pacific they have also been Introduced into South America, Germany and ether countries successfully This great medicine has been compounded by one who has a profound knowledge of tbe nature of disease, and it is especially designed to attack the insidious enemy In his stronghold.

The Bitters operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels and Uver, restoring them to a healthy sad vigorous action, and thus by the simple process of strengthening nature, enable the system to triumph over disease. Its adaptation te cure all affections of the digestive organs is peculiar to Diarrhea, dysentery or flux readily yield to its potent agency also, debility, which is frequently produced by the enervating climate of the South, is banished by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspepsia, a disease which is probably more preva ent, when takes in all Its various forms, than any other; the cause of which may always be attributed to derangements of the digestive organs, can be cured without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS as per directions on the bottle, and in addition take a glass of cold water after rising in the morning, which will facilitate the cure. For this disease every physician will recommend Bitters of some kind then why not nse an article known to be infallible Every country has its Bitters as a preventive ef disease and strengthening of the system in geaeial, and among them all there is not to be found a snore healthy people than tbe Germans, from whom this preparation emanated, based upon scientific experiments which have tendsd to advance the destiny of this great preparation in tbe medical scale of science. Farther, aay of tbe above stated diseases cannot be contracted when exposed to aay ordinary condition producing them.

If tbe Bitters are used as per directions, a long experience bas proved that it will effectually cure any case of dyspepsia which can be produced. This desirable result is obtained in a brief space of time. And as it neither creates nausea nor offends tbe palate, and rendering unnecessary any change of diet or interruption to usual pursuits, but promotes sound sleep aad healthy digestion, the complaint is thus removed as speedily as is consistent with the productioa of thorough aad permanent care. In fact, HOSTETTER'S JSTOMACH BITTERS are only to be tried for tho numerous diseases for wbicb they are intended aad which we heretofore named, and our word for it they will be appreciated. The fact that over one buadred imitations have made their appearance in different localities siace the medicine was introduced, is a sufficient gaarantee i itself that Hostetter's Staraacb Bitters are undoubtedly appreciated by an afflicted public Therefore we caution the public agaiast using any of tbe many imitations or counterfeits, but ask for HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS, aad see that each bottle has the words, Dr.

J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters," blown on the side of tbe battle, and stamped oa the metallic cap covering the cork, and the autograph signature of Hostetter A and manufacturers, oa the label.
