UC8E Tessiwaiisal. Correspondewcs of the Charlaten Mercury. WAshts.-rors, June 30, 1841. In the Senate this morning, after the presentation of petitions, the resolution calling for the names of persons removed from offlee since the 4th of March last, was taken up, and Mr. Mangum remarked that it was only a waste of time to farther diseuss the motion moved to lay it on the table. Mr. Pierce appealed to the Sena tor to withdraw the motion, as he wished to offer some remarks on the resolution. Mr. Mangum ofred to do so, iftMr. Pierce would make no promise to do an act which would prevent bis friends from debating the resolutior. Mr. Preston then in a few eloquent remarks appealed to 'Mlr. Man gum to withdraw his motion, and express ed his disapprobation of this mode of cho king of discussion. H,3 said the proper course would be to debate the question, and the friends of the administration could justify all the removals that had been made. Mr. Benton informed the gentleman that their fog would not prevent him from speaking on thisqutest'on. He would speak on it, not by permission of any one on that loor, but in his right as a senator of a Sovereign State. Mr. Mangum then withdrew his motion, which Mr. Clay had prompted him to make. Mr. Pierce then proceeded with his remarks, until 11 o'clock, when the Bank bill was taken up. Mr. Henderson (whig) moved an amend ment to the bill so as to exclude foreigters, and resident a',iens, from the right to pur chase stock. This gave rise to a very aut mated debate, in which Messrs. Calhoun. Allen. Benton. Clay of Ala.. Mangum. Henderson, Walker, Woodbury and Ber rien supported the motion, and Malsars. Preston, Smith of Indiana and lunting ton opposed it. Mr. Morehead moved to strike out "resident aliens" from the amendment. which was disagreed to-ayes 24, noes 25. The amendment was then agreed to ayes 30, noes 16. Mr. Henderson then moved an amend - ment, giving to every stockholder, the right to investigate the condition and transtsac tions of the Bank. A very intereiting de bate followed-the motion being suppor ted by Mcssrs. lendcrsou. Calhoun, Ben too, Walker and Kin-. and opposed by Messrs. Huntington, Clay of Ky., Merrick, Preston and Kor. The argumentt was an overwhelmingly on the tide of investiga tion, and its ehlects were so apparent, that Mr. Clay thought it necissary to make a most impassioned appeal to the friends of the bill not tosplit on minor questaious which might seriously endanger its passage. This produced the desired efrect, and the amendment was defeated-Mr. liender son being the only Whig who voted for it. Mr. Rives then said he had an amend ment to offer-but as it was late, he would move an adjournment, which was carried. In the House the Distribution Bill was taken up immediately after the journal was read, and debated until the close oftbe sitting. Mr. Clifford concluded his re marks in opposition to the bill, and was followed on the same side by Messrs. Mcr riwether, Floyd, Kennedy, Payne and Al ford, and the bill was advocated by Mr. Howard of Michigac. Mr. Brown hav ing obtained the floor, the House adjourned. WastsNGTON, July 1. In the Senate this morning, Mr. Pierce continued.his remarks on the resolution e oalfri'diemtt istration. He quoted the remarks of Mr. Prestoh yesterday. that the party were prepared to justify all the removals that had been made, by giying the reasona for them, and inquired of that gentleman, if he had understood him correct ly. Mr. Pres ton answered in the affirmative. Mr. Pierce said he was glad the party had had manliness to make the issue on this point. and hoped there would be no backitng out hereafter. Mr. Benton then rffered a res olution, inquiring of the President the rea sons for the removal of Governor Dodge. of Wisconsin. Governor Lucas, of Iowa, and others. 'The resolution lies over one~ The.b Bank bill was then taken up, andI Mr. Rivet moved to strike out the provi sion giving power to the directors to estab lish branchtes, andi substitute thecrefor the provision from the Secretary's project, making the assent of the States necessary. Mr. Rives suppr.rted his motioni in a motst elaborate speech of nearly two hours, and intreated Mr. Clay not to enda.nger thte pas-. sage of the hill by an unnecessary assertion of a power which was denied by~he thsou::hs at least a moiety of thte people of thtis country. He toughstthis shoul-l be yield - ed; but if not. he had taken the responst bility heretofore of ditiering with the great body of his political friends, and he was prepared to do it again. Mr. Clay replied to Mr. Rivel.s,st he thought nothing but miqchief could comte. fromt his proposition, Thtat the conces sion was all to be made on one side-t wen ty-seven Senators yieldintg their opinions to those of the Senator from Virginia. an d his colleague. This was unreasonable, and he asked the Senator if hte couldl go! with his political friends, not to embarrassl them wish this proposition, but to withdraw it. He considered the issue between the bill and the amendment, to be Bank or no Bank, constitutionality or unconstitution ality, and with much ability exposed the incongruous results which would follow the adoption of the amendment, and closed with a very eloquent appeal to the majori ty mot to permit thetr power to be frittered away in discussing questions of minor im Srtance, which was only playitng into the ods of their political opponents. Mr. Preston followed Mr. Cloy, and for some time it was doubtful which side he was going to take, but his strong affinities for the side of power-more especially the appointing power-soon developed them selves-and he argued strongly in favor of the amendment, which he considered the pint at issue between the Senate and the '~xecutive, and whbich, if oot yielded, would endanger the success of the measure. He thought the better course would be to adopt the pian of the Execntive at present; if it did not work well, it could hereafier he modified. and in such case ho held himself ready to save his country bty the exertion of a power, even though he did not find it delegated in the Constitution. He called upon others, as he was willing himself, to sacriflce their favorite predilections to avoid Mr. .... .. - ...,an r;e, but Mr. Ch-y fearing that he was going tofollow suit to Mr. Prestou, called out to adjourn, and a motion for that purpose was made and carried. It is pretty evident that Mr. Clay coun ted too fast, when he announced the num ber ofhis adherents in the Senate as twenty six. Appearances seem to indicate that he will soon be convinced. that the power of appointing to office, is more than a coun terpoise to his great talents, his long 'expe rience, and his imperious will; and that honorable Senators will more readily yield their -favorite predilections" to the gonial influences of Executive favor, than to the blusterings of the Storm King. In the House. immediately after the reading ofthe Journal, a motion was made to go into Committee of the Whole. on the Distribution bill, which was carried. Mr. Brown, of Pa. then took the floor. and spoke for upwardr of two hours in opposi tion, to the hill, and was followed hy Mr. Gilmer, of Virginia, and Mr. Bidlack, of Pa., on the same side. At 3 o'clock the Commiuce rose, reported progres, and had leave to sit again to-morrow, and then the House adjourned. WAstINT-roy. July 2, 1811. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Pierce con cluded his remarks on 51r. Buchnuan's resolution, calling for the names of those removed from ollice. The Bank bill was then taken up, and Mr. Choate, the suc- I cessor, and, as generally helievcd. the con fidant of Mr. Webster, addressed the Sen ate in favor of Mir. Rives's amcndriment. and implored with much carncstness he friends of the administration to adopt it, as the only chance of giving to the people at the present session this measure of re lief which they so much needed, and so anxiously desired. Mr. Clay who during Mr. Choate's rcmarks, was evidentlv much excited, rose and with forced composurc. inquired of Mr. Choate the grounds on which be had made so authoritative an a. sertation, that the only chance of having a bank at this session depended on the adop tion of the thing presented by Mr. Rives. Mr. Choate replied that he could not with out violating the rules of the Senate, an swer the question. The rule which it was generally supposed Mr. Choate aluied to is that the opinions of the Executive onl any pending question shall not he quoted tnring debate thereon. Mr. Chonio was followed by Mr. Simmunsof Rhode Island. in a very sensible speech a::ainst the amendment. 31r. Archer of Va. folluweil in opposition to the amendment, bt;t his speech was principally a titade againist his colleague, Mr. Itives, abtisce ofGen. Jack son and his friend, and the present Re. publican party. winding up with a flinc at the memory of Jclfersou, whose opinions he said might be quoted on every side of the question. Mr. Rives replied with much spirit, and provoked peals of laugh. ter from all sides of the Ilounse at his.expo. sition of the vagaries of his whimsical col league ; altercation of a personal charac ter in which a question of veracity was mooted heightened the piquancy of the discussion, but this was settled after the al. jourument. by the inti ferencte of their mu. tual friends. While Mr. Acher, wns speaking, an al lusion of his brought Mr. Clay to his feet and a repetition of the scene betweeti him and Mr.'Chonte took place, with improve ments. Mr. Clay had crossed from his amr rn the dialonte between them, he re mained standing, and with a look as if he regarded not what lie considered the mere puppet before him, but the master spirit at whose promptings he had acted. The Whole Senate partook of the excitement. but Mr. Preston hail stuliscient piresetace of mind to call the menmbers to order, atnd they were comnpehied to take thter seats. Mr. Clay evidetntly regards the move mnent in the Senate as an attemipt to pros trate him, and he has snificient of the hnuh iog ini his dispositio~ to resist to u le laer, and if overpoweredl to die gatme. While this practical comm uentary on thme text of the "union of the Whigs for the sake of the uuion,'' was goitug on the republican members actetd the part of mere lookers on in Vienina, The fifth week of the se,.-iuun is near its close, and the nopiniotn is gninin& ground that nou batik bill will pass the: pre-.

In the Senate to-day, Mr. Linin occu pied the tmornsing hour ina cotmtintig tip on a memorial presented by him relative to the trade between the inland provinces of Mexico and the States of Missouri atnd Arkansas. This is a theme with wvhich the worthy Senator from Missouri is fatmi liar, end as he descatnted tin it, lie became w armed with his subject and gave in glow ing language a graphic sketch of the prairie oceatns of the WVest, and the dangers anid privatious of those engaged in the trade in these journeyings through the resortis of tn merous tribes of hostile savages, lie al so described the manner in which Great Bitian is attaitning atn alarmting ascendani cy over Indians otn our Western border, by the active and unremitting efforts of the1 agents of the hludsonu's Bay Comipany to instil into their muindesentimnents hostile to this country and favorable to their own. The hour ol II arrived w ithout concluding,i and Msr. L. gave way to the special order -the Bank Bill. Mr. Clay rose and said, his attention had been called to a sketch of the procee dings in the Senate yesterday in one of the city papers, in which he was described as o.ardth e SCenatoCr fiml Maslanaclusett1 (Mr. Choaic.) lie said it was all a mnis take : he had never indulged any such feel ing, &c, and n% eut oi for twenty rninutes io a strain which excited the astonishment of the many who had witnessed the scene of yesterday, and know that the sketch which he found fault with had softened, in stead of overcolouring it. When Mr. Clay had got through, Mr. Archer.& Mr. Rives had an amicable colloquy.. in which they said a great many compliaientary. things of elch other, and declared that they meant nothing olfensive in their remarks yester day. The Sena to then proceeded to busi ness, and Mr. Bayard awl Mr. Phelps spoke in favor of Air. Rives's amendment as a compromise which they.where willing to vote for-the first named gentleman proposing a modification of it. Mr. Hun lington followed in oppoeiiion to the amendment, and when lie had concluded, the Senate went into Executive session. In the House. the Distribution Bill was taken up immediately after. reading the journal, and Air. Ilabersham, of Georgia. concluded his remarks against it. Ile was followed by Mr. Parmentersof Massachlu setts, and Mr. Davis and Air. lcKeon, of New York, on the same side, and by Mr. Kenr.edy. of Md. and Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky. in favor of the Bill. Mr. Wise then obtained the floor, but as it was near 3 o'clock, yielded to a motion for adjourn mont. From the Wlashinagto Globe. WASnutetrox, July 5. CONGRESSIONA L ANAL YSIS.

However, as gentlemen had thou2ht proper to go into Comamittec, ie woud gla-ly avail himself of the opportunity tf give hb views on the bill before themt.

Mr. Mangum wasuot willing to lot Mr. Preston ofl quite so easily, and reiternied in een stronger and more unqualified terms than before, his approval of the course of Mr. Stevenson, and regretted to see some )f his political friends expressing contrary sentiments, afterthe correspondence on the inlject had been placed before them. The motion to discarge the Committee was then agreed to. Mr. Alangum's rather remarkable course towards Mr. Preston on this subject. may Se explained as follows: It is understood hat Air. Sergeant has declined the offer of the mission to England. Mr. Preston anti 51r. Rives are both anxions expectants. and Mr. Clay, through his man Willie, has intimated that there is no immediate necessity for appointing a successor and leciding on tho respective merits of the t wo aspirants. This iny act as a getile chastisemeut for the recent offencest of thcste gentlemen on the sulject of the Bank, bill, and an admonition for the future. A resolution wis then called up to change he hour of meeting in the morning frou 10 to 11. It was advocated by Mr. Linn and Mr. Preston. and opposed by Mr. Clay. of Alabama, and M1r. King. Mr. Calhoun hind no objection to the present hour of neeting, but lie did obiject to remainin, here for seven or eight hours Juring long siltry days. when there was so necessity for it, and wien it did not in the least expedite business; and without there was ans undertanding that the ad. ourntteiit shocl take place at 3 o'clock, he would go for the resolut'on. The fttes ion was taken and the resolutifon was lost. The Batik bill wns then taken up. ith luestion heing on Mr. Hayard's amend. meint to the anendment proposed by Mr. Rives. Mr. Betrien spoke at -onsiderable etagth in opposition to 31r. Rives's amend menit, and in favor of the bill of 31r. Clay. lie was followed by Mr. Merrick, n-ho advocated warmly the amendment, and :haracterzed the assertion of the bran':hing power in Mr. Clay's bill as "a wanton. unnecessary, and uncalled for assertion of power, to which many, very mnany Whipq bad insuperable objections." Mr. Bates, of Mlassachusetts followel, std declared in the course of his remarke. (which evinced more talent than lie has ieretofore had credit fur,) that he had in. rorimation enough to produce anl entire con viction in his mind, that this bill, without the amendment, could not becone a law. The question was then put on Mr. Bay srd's amendment and it was disagreed'to Ayes 9. Noes 36. Mr. Rives's amendment wasiuill further Jebated by Messrs. Dixon and White in ipposition to i:, and Mr. Prentiss and Mr. Walker in its favor. The latter was the munly Democratic Senator who took any part in the debate ott these amendments vhich have occupied the Senate for more han a week past. and lie rather unneces warily referred to subjects, which gave intich msore satisfaction to his political op. ponents than his friends.
