The Senate went into Executive Sessioti
at an early hour.
In the House, Mr Adams offered a resolu-
tion requesting the President of the _United
States, ifcotnpatible with the public interest
to comtnunicate copies ofall correspondence
between the'Government of the U. States
and Mexico, since the appointment of our
present Minister extraordinary to that Gov-

war between Texas and Mexico, what an-
swers have been made thereto: also whether

dent of Texas inviting a cooperation of the
United States in an invasion of Mexico; if
so, what answer has been given, &.c. ac.
After some conversation on points oforder
the lstdivision of the resolution was adopted.
The consideration of the Tariff bill was
then restinied in committee of the Whole.
Mr Thompson of Mi. occupied the hour in
opposition to the bill as a measure of protec-
lion.
He indulged the pleasing expectation of
the ‘heading’ of this iniquitous scheme by a
veto if passed through Congress. Mr Ca-
ry of Va. denounced the bill as an aboinina-
ble tax on the South for the support of the
Northen manufacturer, sud expressed a deci-
ded preference for direct taxation over such
a measure.
The hotrroftwelve having arrived the
general debate terminated. Mr. Saltoirstall
withdrew his amend treat to insert the bill
reported by him from the Cottrmittee on
Manufactures. The 30th ofJune was strick-
en out as the time for the bill to take effect,
and the time was fixed at fifteen days after
the passage ofthe act. Several amendments
were offered, and explanations made thereon
most of which were rejected. \Vitbout

will not be changed in any degree whether
a war exists between Texas and Mexico or
not. -
Mr Preston tnoved the printing ofthe doc-
ument and its i‘efi-rence to the committee on
Foreign Relations. He expressed hearty
approbation of the course pU|'Slll,‘.(l by the
functionaries of this government, both hero
and of our minister at Mexico.
Mr S"Vlt‘l' commended the patriotic and
m-rnly spirit displayed on otrr part in this
correspondence, but intimated that insults
from England were suffered to pass with less
notice. He applauded the firmness and decis-
ion manifested in Mr Vt’ebster’s course with
regard to the Creole case and in this instance
which, if extended to all other tiations by this
administration, would command its support
in the end by his party.
Mt Crittenden concurred in approvingthe
course of the offii-ers of government in this
case, and expressed his intention of hereafter
giving more fully his views on the subject.
The document was referred and ordered
rinted.
The bill for the reliefof certain citizens of
Arkansas and Louisiana who found them-
selves within the liirrits of Texas at the run-

SATURDAY July16.
The proceedings ofthe House of Repre
sentatives yesterday consisted of the conclu-
sion ofthe consideration of the details of the
Tariff Bill, in Committee of the VVhole.
Various amendments were adopted and many
were proposed without success. The duty
on imported coal was fixed at 81,75 per ‘loft
and the Committee refused to include tea
and coffee among the articles to be imported
free of duty.
Messrs. Gentry and Wm Cost Johnson
offered their amendments, providing for the
assumption ofthe debts of the States by the
General Government. Both were rejected.
On Mr Johnson's amendment, tellers were
called for, who reported only two poisons
voting in the afiirmative—viz Messrs John
son and Gentry.
The bill having been considered by sec-
tions throughout, and no more amendments
bqjng ofiered, the Comurittee rose and repor-
It‘ .
The bill having been orderedjto be printed
as amended, the House adjourned.
The Senate were chiefly engaged in the
discussion and passage ofa bill, appropria-
ting $10,000 for the completion and printing
ofthe laws ofthe United States. After pass-
ing the bill, they went into executive ses-
sion.
The House has been occupied to day since
the hour of nieeting, with the Tariff bill, as
amended and reported from the Committee
of the VVhole. No debate has been allowed.
A~ll theamendments of the Committee ofthe
Whole have been agreed to, and of the new
enate remained all day in executive
ones proposed not one has thus far passed.
There iscvery reason to believe that the -
bill will,pass before the hour of adjournment
this evening, and will be sent into‘. the Sen-
ate on Monday. I , i --
The Senate has been occupied with pri

Abuse ‘ of Executive powcr.—President
Tyler at his worst, has done nothing worse,
to draw down upon his head the excreations
of an indignant cornttrunity, than Gov.
Cleavelirnd merits for a recent exercise of
his Executive power in robbingjustice of it
culprit—annulliiig the majesty of our milita-
ry l2|\VS, and payingfa cold irrdiff'erence to a
subject presented to his considerations, by it
Major General ofthis State. The facts are
brifly these, omitting the names of the par-
ties for the present:--
Ata regimental muster, last fall, in a
regiment to the Division under the command
of Major General ADAMS, of this town, the
conduct of the Colonel of the regiment tow-
ards the reviewing officer was of such ii
disorderly and conteurptuotis a character,
that the Brigadier General deemed it his
duty to have him presented to the Command-
er of the Division, that his conduct might be
enquired into anal be dealt with agreeable to
the provisions of the statute. Some timi-
townrds the last of April. or in the early
part of May, Gen Adams was furnished
with ri apecification of the charges ag.iin~t
the Colonel,and on the election of Mr. Cleve-l
land as Captain General ofthe State, be ad--
dressed a letter to hittr. asking his :1-lvice in
the premises. Not hiivingany advices from
His Ezrcc/lciiny/, and the charges being r.-fa
character deinariding an investigation, Gen.
Adams Ordered a Coir rt M irtial to be holileu
(ill New Milford we believe) about the last of
this irrontb, to enquire iirto the inatti-r; ap-
pointed the necessary ofiicers, and the Divis
sion inspector proceeded to the northern part
of the State and served the rvqriisite pvipi-rs
upon the respondent. Stilts»-qtirnt to all this
preparation for a Coiitt Martial, the accused
had furnished Gen. Adams \\'lt.ll a copy of
an honorable discharge from further militiiry
dtity signed by Gov. Cleveland, and dated
about the middle ofJt2ne. VVe are not suffi-
ciently versed in tho etiquette or tactics of
military to say what effect this /ionorab/ct
discharge wilf have upon the proceedings of
the Court Martial about to convene, as we
understand its convention has not, neither
will it be countermanded, but it strikes us
as an otitrngetitrs interference with the course
of Justice-—a flagrant insult upon the Major
General. and highly derogatory to the char-
acter of the Chicflklagistracy ofConnecticut
We have taken Sonre little pains to ascer-
tain the cause of Gov. C's interference ‘in
this uiatter, and learn the accused is a rabid
loco foco. and went “the whole swine"
for Cleveland at the election in April last.

On Friday last a set of silver plate valued

to the mint thence to the owner’s pocket in
the shape of substantial money.

Tut-: C.-rat NET-‘—r.I‘l‘le VVashington Correspon-
ilerit ofthe Boston Atlas gives the following
conjectures concerning the Cabinet changes.
The city is firll of riimor'sand reports of
every kind and v:iriet_y—-but nearly if not
all are or would be undx’~ser'\‘ing the least
confidence, were it not that fl.l!TlOf has so
often been found to be but the foreshadow of
reality. The opinion is hourly girining
grotitid, that as soon as Congress has sepa-
rated, three of the Cabinet will be induced to
l‘l‘Slgl') their places, and their room occupied
by gentleman of the opposite party. Mr
For\var'tl it is said, was not even constilted
by the President, relative to his last veto——
and a slight so great, indeed ifit be true, no
man ‘ofthe smallest particle of self respect,
would be willing to submit to. Mr Spencer
is the intimate and close friend offllr For-
tvard—nnd thicr firte will not be seperate.
The Secretary of State will remain, it is
certainly to be hoped, until the foreign ne-
gociations are closed—when if he ever ex-
pects to find any further countenance or
support from the Whig party, he will shake
offthe dtist of his shoes against his present
associates, who now only tolerate his pres-
ence, because their puny fingers are ima-
ble to grasp his mighty trident, and quiet the
agitated waters offoreign diplomacy. When
through his magic powers, acalm of peace-
ful repose has been brought down upon the
now troubled deep, his presence at the helm
will be deemed no longer necessary, and he
will be gladly permitted to retire.
The Loco papers having failed in the at-
attempt to have the people of Rhode Island
murdered by desperadoes from other States,
