It has hitherto hap ' pened In Isolated cusps. ' Where similar aggressions have occurred through nnscon , ception, the United States has been con f tented to accept a disclaimer of the intent ; but the continued and perseverm; charac- ' ter of these outrages is such as to arouse ' the indignation of the country, and to ro quiro to arrest at once, and to end at once and forever, the continuance of such indig- ' nities. the slave Ira iU is alleged as the ' excuse. I he comnmiee will not discuss I lml. It is sutlicienl that l ha United Slates, though often invoked to do so, refutes to recognize the right of police. 1 hey rest on the prin cipln thut the marine under their lug cannot bo visiied or questioned without their consent, and the couuniitoe deem this a fit occasion to declare it ns a principle of the United Siutes, admitting ot no reserve or quuiiiiouuon, hiiu 10 up ' maintained at any c-t. They admit no right of visitation, and far lessor earuh. . Such matters have no foundation in law . or comity, and cannot bo tolerated by hiiv 'sovereign power wiihoiit derogation from her sovereignly.

' It is believed that this . measure win up sprviceauie lor urn present in slopping outrages. The subject has also b"en brought lo the offending power, both through the Minister ill London and ilia Miiiitni. nr.

Therefore, while refraining from recommending present legislation, the committee have unanimously ' ' "' lf9olvd, (as the judgnieiil of lha Sen- ale,) That American vessels on the high seas, in time of peace, 'bearing ihn Ameri can flag, remain under I ho juiisdiciion of the. country to which they belong, and there- tore any vi-uiauon, iiiiM'-s'itiiwii, m uo-eu-tiort of such Vessels hy force, or by the exhibition of force, bn the part yf a foreign Power, is in derogation of the sovereignty of ihe United Stales. Resolved, That the recent and repealed : violations of this immunity, commuted by foola nf.wnr liMlnnnrinfr In tlifl niiVtf of - o r j Great Britain in the Gulf of Mexico, and the adjacent seas, by firing into, interrupt ing, and otherwise forcibly detaining them on thoir voyage, requires, in the judgment of the Senate, such unequivocal and final disposition of the subjeol, by tlio'govern ments of Great Britain and ihe United States, touching the rights involved, as shall preclude hereafter the occurrence of like aggressions. , Resolved, , That the Senate, fully ap proves the action.of ihe Executive in send in" a naval force into the infested seas with orders " to protect nil vessels of the United States on the high Seas from search or de tention by the vessels of war of any other nation." And it is the opinion of the Sen ate, that, if it become necessary, such addi tional legislation should be supplied in aid of the Executive power as will make such protection effectual. On the 20th the resolutions came up when i II, Uallorv of Florid propose- an am enJment, taet An.er.can people cannoi permit such aggressions, and therefore esislate to enable ihe Executive to adopt measures at onco te prevent the continu ance of such iodignities. Mr Mallory, although recognizing that tha mission of the United Slate, and Eng. Und should be for the preservation of peace, h.conld not atr.fie. the rights or Knorof the country to any issue what- " He eoold not consider that this tucces .ion of outrages was the mere act of indi 'v dual naval officers. They were ) owing, doubtless, to tbe order, of the English Ad mind atJamaica, who in turn had received , r.

Mr. Mallory wiibdrew his amondment in favor of Mr. Hale s. Mr. Toombs was in favor of Mr. Hale's amendment, and further, that the British warships in ihe Gulf should be seized and brought lo our own ports, or sunk, and thai we should be satisfied with nothing short of ibis. i Mr. Seward gave his concurrence and the concurrence of the minority of the Committee in the spirit of the resolutions. .neassumpionoi urea ur.itt.ni.nUealrw,mUkt,1I9Wari , decar.

But the Uuiled Slates tet out with the intoiition lo be equal with any nation, and cannot permit an al feclalion of superiority by any power, even in I ho modified form of " visitation" the right of search and visitation being terms synonymous. J ho principles of police at sea aro identical with those en land. Any one may seize pirates at sea. or culprits on shore, hut he does it " at his peril." If the arrested party be a culprit, he is abandoned lo justice. If not, it is an aggression, and ihe aggressor is hablo to make reparation. This nation will never permit its flag to be prostituted to purposes of piracy, but it must resist every iiggresslou on its peace ful commerce. He had not looked in tho law books for technical objections to the right nf search, Ii is enough that it cannot be permitted ; that it is an aggression on the equality of nations; enough that it is an attempt to exereiso superiority over this nation. There arc seven members on the Committee of Koteign Affairs, and naturally some dif ference ol opinion as to the terms existed, but lliu substance of the resolutions was satisfactory to all. Each is ready to accept any other form of words that will express tho firmness, dignity, and moderation thut beconu'S a orrcal natiou in expressing its opinion on a great question. No prudent man behoves that the iiriiish government has ordered these aggressions with the view of urtnng war on this country, luey aro acts of war; but all know that if Groat Britain wanted to begin a war with tho Uuiled States, she would not do it with a gunboat. Although they may liuvo origi nated in a misapprehension of orders, the Executive had properly and promptly do- ermined not to wait for explanations, not to rccojinizn that any explanation can be given which will eowedo the right of vis itation or scaich. Mr. Soward fully in dorsed this promptitude of action in send- ug to the uulf n force sufficient to biiik every liriiisb cruiser. Mr. Douglas, of III., Rsked, what good does it do to resolve thut this search is a belligerent act ? The American people ami J'.neianu Know it is. r.ugianu bs so informed foriy years ago, and yet she bus lolated our rights thirty-three times witn- n the pust four weeks. He commended and admired the promptness with which he 'resident has sent a lorco to tho unit, but thai force is only up lo the point of preventing. Do you suppose it will ever find un -opportunity, unless ashipof-war beseni to accompany every merchant ves sel. Tho Senator from fsew lork was wrong in saying thai our force could sink he British in the Gulf. Ihe lintisli have their three guns to out one. It is brave, at ast, to think that our ene will siiiK tneir three, lie recommended another course. Lot a shin of war, say the Wabash, gel on the track of the Styx, or Buzzard, follow er up, capture her, and bring her into an American port, and it will then bo tho time to make explanaiions. If England avows he cruisers acts, it becomes an interna tional question. If she disavows the acts, it only remains for us to say what punish ment we shall inflict on those lawless per sons who have perpetrated these outrages. The President having gone so far as be can go, let him have at once such powers as are necessary to protect our flag, and main tain the rights of our citizens at home and abroad. He bad no fear of the abuse of such power by the present Executive or any that may follow him. The President is almost powerless abroad. Every other Chief Magistrate has the power not only lo repel, but to punish, outrages on bis na tionality, and why should not the Chief Magistrate of this Republic have power . t . 1 1 : i e nnn ;n. steaTofTnving any appreun:!?n iht 'hat j nln Ann Illll. in B1U 01 our oufj, uu.

On ihn 3 1 l tliejr came up again, when Mr. Toombs of Georgia repeated his re mark of Su i unlay, that he wauled the Brit ish ships taken. Tlio resolutions art not worth the paper they are written on. Mr, Hammond, of South Carolina, disa greed with the Senator from Georgia. He wst not willing lo be amugglej Into war by an amendment to an amendment. If the British acta are belligerent, let us throw, with all due solemnity, the bloody spear. after diirnified consideration A war with hugland will be lie inot momentous event that Las happened in the past three centuries, perhaps hi all lime past, l er hsps hostilities with England are, sooner or later, Inevitable, and when it should come, he believed England would be rushing on her fate. Let ut avail ourselves of the chance afforded by these resolutions, te avoid, until it be forced on us, an event which, whenever il occurs, will change the fuce of human affair. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, also spoke in a conservative lone, invoking the Senate to do nothing rashly, but to proceed with firm, determiner!, but cautious steps. The resolutions of the Committee on Foreign Affairs are sufficient to express the senti ments of the American people, and il would be unworthy of bold great nations to indulge in quarrelsome actions. Let England be informed that we require repa ration, and if il be refused, we hnve then a right to stand on our own grounds. He agreed with Mr. Toombs that we cannot assent to discuss the right of visitation or search. It would be unworthy of this Gov ernment to enter iulo any discussion on that subject. Wo have to deal with acts only, and require England to disavow them and forbear, Mr. Wilson, having reconsidered bis amendineul, said it was not in order, inas much as il proposed to confer power on the (resident by the vote of one house only. lie therifitre withdrew it, but hoped that orders had been given to sink erenpture Ihe offending ships. Mr. Mallory then moved a joint resolu lion, that the President be authorized lo arrest the outrages al once. 1 In the Senate, June 3d, Mr. Douglas in troduced a bill lo revive and put in force the Aclof March 3d, 1830, in relation to the North-Western boundary, with such modifications as will make it applicable to the prcsont controversy, in regard to the right of search and visitation. The bill thus revived puts at the disposal of the President, to bo usi d when necessary to resist tho claims of Groat Britain, the naval and military forces and the militia of tho Uuiled States, and authorizes liim to call into service fifty thousand volunteers; also puts at his disposal ten millions of dol lars, with the right lo borrow tho same; also, if he deems necessary, 10 send a spe cial embassador to Great Britaiu. The Act is to continue in force for sixty days after tho next mcctiiiir of Congress. The bill confers these powers in the precise lan guage of the Act of 1830, except that it strikes out the word " boundary," And in serts "visitation and right of search," with a few other verbal alterations, confin ing in fact the same power on Mr. Buch anan as was conferred on Mr. Van Buren. fcT The naval officers in Washington have evinced praiseworthy conduct on the present occasion. It is understood that every one of them baa made application to the Secretary of the Navy to be employed, even though not in a position equal to their rank or claims. 03 Tho greatest excitement exists in New Orleans relative to the detention and visitation of American vessels by British cruisers. Resolutions have been presented in the Common Council authorizing the Mayor to equip and send an armed vessel te prevent the outrages, and a great indig nation meeting was held, and resolutions were passed recommending every vessel te arm and equip before leaving po" 1 r tilt to Ihe last extremity. Boarding American Vessels. Thi Torento (Canada) Colonist of the 20ih of May has a calm and sensible article on the subject of the recent aggressions upon Am erican vessels by British cruisers, in which it sari: "The evef-zealousness of the British cruisers in the Guirof Mexico in .neirei- try-tern tn llt off the slave trade, has evident- l nnea.ioned aereal deal of angry feeling at Washington, and We cannot feign aur- at the result.

This new neam ftigate it filled with engine and oannoa of Richmond manufacture. The cannon are the new Dnlghren gun, made of our James River iron, and whose tre mendous reporta whilst being letted by ihe U. S. officers, were familiar sounds lo our cilizent not long ago. We don't know Low many attempt, the officers made to explode one of these gun. ; we ihiuk about a thousand, and wilh ihe most enor mous charge, and every variety of gun powder, but ihe obstinate gun would not burst, and Ihey had to give il up at last as a bad, or rather, a good job. In the last war with England the explosion of our own cannon killed almost a. many at the she! of the enemy. Now, we have escaped that danger; we have a gun that will not burst, and tuck a gun! The Colorado 1. proba bly at this moment ihe most formidable war vessel thai float, the great deep.

At Asiley's Ampbitheatro, London, Mr. Cooke, the cel ebrated equestrian, undertook to exemplify Rarey't system of subduing vicious hones, and as a eonsequence there waa a crowded house. The Morning Advertiser slates that Mr. Cooke, informed the audience, when (he exhibition opened that bo was ready to tame any horse thai was brought to him and a vicious nunter wuicn uau ueen tent tor tins purpose was then taken into ihn ring. He then took a strap and attached il to the fet lock of the animal's right foreleg, brought it over it right shoulder and held it (Irmly by hand. The left leg was then doubled up iuwards till the hoof was brought in con tact with the thigh, when il was tied in that position with a strap. Mr. Cooke then took the reins of the bridle in ene band, and Ibe strap attached to the horse', right leg in the other, and holding them taut, urged the animal to walk on three legs, with hi. head inclined la the eft. The horse was made to walk in this manner three times round the ring of the circus, when he exhibited signs of great exhaustion, got down on hia knees, and fi nally lay down in the most submissive manner. The straps were then taken off, and Mr. Cooke lay down upon him, patted him, and the animal received these ca resses in the most docile and quiet man ner, and appeared to be perfectly under the control of his tamer. Scientific American. Mabbiaoesof Consanguinity. At thd late Medical Association in Baltimore, Dr. M. Bemis, of Kentucky, read an able and learned report on "'.'ne influence of marriage of consanjuinity upon offspring.' He taid that over ten per cent, of the deaf and dumb, and over five per cent of the blind, and fifteen per cent, of the idiotic in our State institution! for the aubject of those defect, are the offspring of kindred parents.

No. 14 Buchanan Lojkins to a Kb-Elkction The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in late teller say. : " There appear, to be no question of ihe tact that Air. uuehanan, even at this early period of hi. administration, it already looking forward to and calculating upou a re-election, or al least a re-noniination. lie is fully realizing the old maxim that " whom the gods wuld destroy they first make mad." The matter i. not. perhaps. openly talked of, but it i. aeriously dis cussed by men In high places, and one of the rresiueni . organs,- the Richmond South, dor. not hesitate to avow it as hi. policy and thai of ihe Democratic parly bouiti. 1 hat paper uses the extraordinary language thai Mr. Buchanan it "the only candidate whom the South can hope te elect lo the office of President" al the next li ction. " Of ceurso, after hi positive declaration at the lime of bis inauguration that he would not again be a candidate, be will on. ly, according to the paper quoted, "yield to exalted motive, of pntriolism, and to the united appeals of tho Constitutional Democ racy." The fact appears lo be ignored that the people of the South will not be the only voters at the next Presidential elec tion, and that if Mr. Buchanan were to go note before the people of his own State, ou any issue, he would assuredly be defeated by at least one hundred thousand majority, a. the resulia af your coming fall elections will abundantly prove. : II such be his statin in bit own Stale, what has ho lo ex pect from the ei lire North, the sentiments of whose peoplo he ha not ceased to out rage since the hour in wuicli lie took hit oath of office I 03 Roth Houses nf the Legislature of Wisconsin bavo passed a bill for the ro es lablishment of capital punishment for the crime of murder in the first degree.

Our chivalrous brethren "down South" do things up in style, tometime. Here is an account of a duel, taken from the Donald. sonville (La.) Coast Journal : " On Thursday, the 22d ult , F. C. Au- bert, of the. Independent Vigilant, end E. Supervielle, of the Drnpeau (Te I'Ascension, left here on the Vicksburg, en route to Mississippi, to ni;ht a duel. I he affair came off al Fort Adams, and resulted in the wounding of Mr. Auberl in the right hip. His wound it not considered danger ous. Mr. Superviulle was not harmed. A pleasing incident iu the mnttor marked the dealings of the two principals. Per ceiving that Mr. Aubert would bo obliged to remain at fort Adams for tome days, his adversary kindly offered to attend to the editinir of the Viuilant until he recov. ered sufficiently to return. Courtesy like this can be appreciated by every one, and is creditable to both parties." OO1" Mr. Gerrish, who has lately arrived at St. Louis from Fori Briilger, says lhat Gov. Cumniiug was bitten, on the 25ih ef March, in the right arm, by a dog that was supposed to be mad. The dog attacked several persons and was finally killed. The Governor was quite fearful and dis tressed about the matter.

An occasion of unusual interest had brought a very full attendance en the exercise of the achool, and in honor of ihe event the pastor or rrdor of lha chuich, under whose care it is, delivered a capital address, which wa rather oddly inter rupted. He wa giving ihe hundred of bright and inleligent little people, ah ea gerly listened lo bit simple and beautiful address, reasons why they should love the Savior.

" Well, then," said the minister, "tup- pose Gov.

The taller boy. looked at each other a moment, and finally Mid No, Sir!" and every child in the achool, great and .mall, shouted out tumultuously Na, Sir" The teachers all smiled, and tho speaker laughed outright, but recovering himself in an instant, he said, " Why, children, thi i all wrong I I like Mr. Buchanan ; so ought you. You ought to love every, body. I had no idea of talking politics to you." Ha then went on lo ask thorn If they would not like lo receive a letter from Queen Victoria" who certainly waa a very estimable lady" and tha Queen of England not being involved in " Lecomp. ton," the children expressed an opinion that a letter from hor majesty would be nil honor. .
