Bhine at Kehl, where our passport and lug-
gage had to be overhauled on both sides of
the river. One poor “ Francaise" who es-

his ‘person, met with more annoyance tlianI

being detained. He escaped, however, by
walking upto the custom house and paying
_ the ..French duty. The crossing of the
Rhine is here effected in omnibusses, over a
bridge of boats. The stream is narrow and

.._ Ontha. French -bank of the river, great
preparations were making for a grand fete,
on the occasion of the inauguration of the
Strasbourg and Paris Railway, which was
__to,t_alce place in a few days and at which the
Prince President was to preside. Immense
rows of staging was being put up, and this
portion of the town seemed to be one of un-
wonted activity and excitement. VVe had
considerable trouble here in getting back
our passport, which the whiskeied monkey
ofa French gen de armes insisted upon ta-
I, king into his own custody and oooly insis-
ting .upo_n our calling upon the .Mayor for it
V the next day. - As a day’s delay was going
10 make a sad innovation upon our pro-
gramme of progress, we determined to get
_ it back in some way or other. After 5 se-
vere struggle with the vowels and conso-
Inants,we made the principal of the Hotel
understand that we spoke English, and were
desirous of communicating something very ,
I important,,which soon brought out a man
I. employed somewhere about the premises,
_ whocould - speak about a dozen words of
broken English. He soon understood the
Inature of our wants, and worked hard to
get the all important document—-but with-
out success. We then ordered a carriage,
Iand went in pursuit of the Mayor ourself
until we found him. Suffice it to say that
’ we obtained our passport, though at 3 loss
to us of nearly $8, whicl1I we were informed
afterwards in Paris, was totally unjustifi-able
However, in candor we must admit, that
there is less liability to being plundered in
travelling in Europe than in some paits of
America. In reference to passports, one
"should be careful to have them vised by the
diplomatic agent of each principality or
State he desires to visit, and when this is so
done, you should not let them be taken from
you, if possible to avoid it, under any pre-
text Whatever, further than for an instant
perusal. This whole passport system, how-
hver, is “con gran-l liumbug,” as the French-
inan would observe, although from the tick-
Illsh insecurity felt by many of the continen-
tel dynasties just at present, they are very
severe in their scrutiny of these papers,

Strasbourg is the first town on the Ffgnch
frontier, and is a city of considerable impor_
tance. It is strongly fortified and has a pop.

Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium. Its

The Irish and their Friends.
The Irish are celebrated the world over,
for their keen wit. impulsive natures, warm
hospitality and love of liberty. These char-
acteristics are seized upon in this country by
unmitigated demagogues, and the warm
hearted Irishman is decayed into the meshes
of Locofocoistii, thinking all the while that
he has enlisted under the flag of pure Dc-
mocracy. He is caught by the sweet sound
of the word Democrat, and unknown to hitti-
self, he is made to vote against his truest
friends, and his own best interests.
How was it in 1847', when Ireland was
suffering all the horrors of famine, and her
perishing population were calling upon us
for bread ? Who were then the true friends
of Irishmen, and of famishing Ireland?
Let the public record speak, and we chal-
lenge the severest scrutiny into the facts of
the case. Look at the action of Congress
on this subject, and see where the parties
stood.
THE intstt ni.«:r.iI-zr BILL.
Sf;NA'l‘E, February 26, 1847.
Mr. Crittender. (Whig) introduced a bill
appropriating $500,000, to be expended in
provisions under the direction of the Presi-
dent, and transporting the same to the fain-
isliing poor of Ireland and Scotlatid in a na-
tional vessel.
Mr. Crittenden supported the bill with
great eloquence and force.
Messrs. I. M. Clayton (Whi«_v)‘- and Cass
(Dem )follovi-ed on the saute side.
Mr. Niles §Dem opposed the bill, as set-
ting a dangerous precedent; when, on mo-
tion of Mr. Bagby, (Dem ) it was postponed
until tomorrow.
SENATE, February 27.
Mr. Crittcnden moved to take tip the bill
reported by him yesterday, for the relief of
the suffering poor of Ireland and Scotland.
Mr. Sevier (Dcm.) or posed the motion
and it was tlisagreed to—Yeas 18, (all
wliigs,) Nays 23, all locofocos, except Mr.
BVIS.
Subsequently, during the same day, the
bill tor the relief of Ireland passed the Sen-
ate by a vote of Yeas 27, Nays I3—all vo-
ting in the negative being democrats.
Now, bear in mind that the bill passed the
Senate on Saturday, the 27th of February,
but three business days before the close’ of
the session. Immediately it became known
that President Polk was opposed to it, and
that he would veto it if it passed the House.
On Monday, the bill was reported and the
following proceediiigs had :
House or REPRESENTATIVES, March 1.
The bill from the Senate for the relief of
Ireland and Scotland was read, and a ino-
tion made to lay it on the table was nega-
tived— Yeas 75, Nays 82.
Mr. Carroll, whigz, moved to go into a
committe of the whole for its consideration
which was negatived—-Yeas 69, Nays 110
The bill was then referred to the commit-
tee of ways and means.
The ol-ijlect of the Iocofoco majority, in
sending the bill to the coiniiiittee of ways
and me:-us, at this stage of the session, must
be obvious to every man of ordinary observa-
tion. That it was sent there for the purpose of
smothering it in committee, is clearly evi-
dent from the proceedings which follow;
I-Ionsia, March 2.
Mr. Carroll moved a resolution to ins-
trnct the committee of ways and means to
report to the House the Senate bill for the
relief of Ireland
The motion was decided out of order.
Mr Carroll appealed.
The Yeas and Nays were taken and the
Chair sustained.
The Spealrt=r’s Chair was filled by John
W. Davis, of Indiana, a very pliant instru-
ment of an unscrupulous majority, who had
determined at all hazards to stave off a vote
on the bill upon its merits. .No iiiarvt-.l,
then, that it should rule it out of order to re.
quire the committee to report it back to the
House. But they could not be permitted to
skulk the issue inthis way. Mr. Winthrop,
of t\-’Iassa4:husetts,.z:sterliing Whig, anti an ex-
cellent Parliamentarian, forced them to show
their hands upon the question, in the follow-
ing form :
Mr. Winthrop, wliig, moved to suspend
the rules, to enable him to offer a resolution
to instru.ct,..the committee of ways and means
to report back to the House the Senate bill
appropriating $500,000 for the relief of the
-sufferers by famine in Ireland, which was re-
jcctrd by the following vote:
YeaIs,we omit the names. 45 w_h-igs, 11

know that it is said, too, on very high author-
ity, that General Scott“ isthe best,,internation-
Ial lawyer in the Union.” "
The remarks of John C. Spencer on this
subject will be remeiubered. Gov. I-Iu_nt..in__

Tennessee ——VVhatever doubt might have
existed for a short period as to the eff-ct of the
Presidential nominations on the two great
political parties in Tennessee the evidences
are now pouring intliick and fast that that

Two Sabballts ——At Westerly, R. l., is
presented the very singular feature of two
Satbbullis every week. Almost one half of
the inhabitants are Sereiith Day Babtisis,
who keep Saturday with great SRCFCLIDPSS,
and on no account will do any \V0lII{. The
remainder observe Sunday as a holy day, and
as studiuusly avoid all l>af>or._I 'IIl'l'e result IS
that on Saturday a portion may be seen 20-
ing to church, ii part of the stores are closed,
and some of the factories are short-branded or
closed entirely. On Sunday the same thing
is to be observed. A part are engugetl in
worship and acts of devotion, while their
neighbors are b‘-usily at WON}, and public
tvorsfrip is disturbed by the din of l.)ll:I!I€SS
and the noisy bustle of the crowd. Both par-
ties appear strictly conscientious and live

servance of two days is very annoying and
inconvenient. ’ I ' ‘
