He regret ted his departure personally,' but was glad that he had escaped the operation of the resolution, which he, Mr. Wise, had introduced, prohibiting the appoint ment by the Executive of members, of Congress to office and congratulated him that he was about to receive a re ward for, and a rest from his arduous labors in th.; great mute, in a haven 'of rest far, from the party turmoils of lua own country.

Davis be forthwith subpoenaed to the baroi the House, to testify and give evidence of what he may' know respecting the name of the member implicated in the charge of corruption and briberr, made by the Spy in Washington, and the authors of his information. Mr. Wise rose, and said that he had received, by last night's mail, the Newark Daily Advertiser, published at Newark. N.

Mr. W. here rra tv paragraph to which. .he referre ' ,r 'The disgraceful rate hero alluoV' eorreipondenl of lha Courier and En). -all the ..farts... connected with il, kat -. hi known to us for a week past, and we intended, at a proper lime, to bring them before the pub tic.

In this paragraph the editor seemed to sneak knowingly on the cubj -ct, and at, from the intimation here given, it would appear thai the individual con cerned ta a member of the Senate, Mr. W. did not any longer care whether the words iu th amendment were in- serted or- mt,- Let the.itae8...come I forwad, and say that the individual im plicated waa a Senator, then the cat; would be clear. He hoped.till then.the question would be no farther debated, but that the House would forthwith pass the resolution in one form or the other. Either way Mr. W.'s ol ject would have been sufficiently a'taioed, which was to vindicate the honor of this House from a charge which struck so deeply at itt integrity. The resolution wat fiially adopted, HO to 46. t:,..,-.. ; Mr. Davis was then brought before the bar ol the House and aworn. and the following interrogations were pro pounded Aoiunu.-!,.
