The House is principally engaged in de biting a resolution, censuring Mr. Adams for presenting the petition from Massachu setts, praying for a dissolution of the Union. The Globe of the 29th, says: The House postponed the proceedings in th cise of Mr. Adams the wants of the Treasury making some provision indispensable The Treasury note bill, as it came from the Senate, converted into an authority to.s create a debt ot five millions additional to the extra session's twelve million loan, was then passed yeas 100, nays 100 the Speaker voting in the affirmative, bo we have a national debt of seventeen millions, and an additional tax of about five millions, more, as ihe first earnest of this promised retrenchment of the Whig Administration. The Washington Index gives the follow ing account of a fight between two mem bers of Congress: We understand that a personal rencontre took place, yesterday morning, between two Whigs the Hon. Mr. Campbell, of Tennessee, and the Hon. Mr. Hoaidman, of Connecticut. Hlows were struck; but we have not learned the merits of ihe case. Wc trust that the City authorities will treat the mighty men of the nation in the same manner that they would the poor and humble American citi zens who reside here, and let ihe world know that laws are not cobwebs to catch little-flies, and be broken through with im punity by great ones. ffJThe Washington papers contain a correspondence between Messrs. Wiseand Stanls; in which the former enquires if the latter intended his remark, that certain members did not deserve any privileges in the House, to apply to him (Mr. W.)in particular? to which the hitler replies, he did not intend to apply ittonny one indi vidual "particularly.

V oremost in importance is the intelligence of the appointment of Lord Ashburton a a special Minister to the United States, for ihe purpose of entering into negoeiations for the final settlement of all difficulties be tween the two countries. The repudiation doctrines about which so much has been said in this country, caused no excitement whalever in London. I he papers scarcely allude to the subject at all.

The French Chambers were opened by a Speech from the King on the 27th ult. Every thing was quiet at Fans, and the reduction of the army was progressing. From Prance we learn that the whole of the persons accused of having taken part in the attempt to assassinate the royal dukes, as well as those charged with being con cerned in the complot in which the attempt is said to have originated, have been found guilty, with the exception of Prioul. Two have been condemned to death, one to im prisonment for life, and two for ten years. A despatch had been received in Spnin from the Captain General of Cuba, announ cing lhat fifty negroes employed in a man ufactory on the Island had revolted, and that it had been necessary to send a detach ment of troops against them to reduce them to submission. They defended themselves obstinately with such arms as they could put their hands upon, and the result was six killed and ten wounded. Order was soon afterwards restored.
