"Washington, July 1, 1850. SENATE. After a short Executive session the Senate took up a bill urrauting bounty I uufs to seamen ami marines who served in the Gulf and on the Pacific during the Mexican war. The subject was discussed and laid aside. The Ad; foment bill was taken up, and Mr. Cooper concluded his re. marks in favor of the bill. Mr.Upham followed in opposition to the bill, and gave way, without ' concluiug, to a motion for adjourn- ' ment. AT r.

In answer to the Senate resolution of the 27th, a message was received from the President, stating that all the orders and correspondence relative to New Mexico and Texas have heretofore been communicated; and that ihe Executive had not yet received an official notice of Col. Monroe's proclamation calling a Convention. The Senate adjourned. riOl SE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Chs ir stated that the first business in order was the report of tl.e Select Committee on the Galphin rase, and the proposition immediately 1 pending was the motion of Mr. I'King to postpone the consideration of the subject until Tuesday two weeks. Mr. liayly moved to amend the motion by inserting "to-morrow" tor "Tuesday two weeks." The amendment was agreed to?yens 105, nays 18. The question was subsequently taken and the 1 louse refused to postnone (ill to-morrow by a large ma.r . loritv. v < ~ Mr. Doty moved to lay I he whole subject upon the table. The 1 louse refused to do so, by a vote of *28 in the affirmative, and IK) in the negative. The Chair then stated that the' oucstion was on the adoption of the the following resolutions, reported by the majority of the Select Commit-i lee, of which ]Mr. Burt was Chairman, viz: 1. Remilvcd, That the claim of the representatives of (.ieorge Calphin > was not a just demand against the United Stat-s. 2. Resolved, That the act of Con- j gross made it the duty of the Score- J tary of the Treasury to pay the prin ripju oj f-aui claim, and K was tiiereforc paid "in conformity with law" and "precedent." 3. Resolced, Thai tho act aforesaid did not authorise the Secretary of the Treasury to pay interest on said claim, and its payment was not 4'in conformity with law" or "pre- ; cedent." A debate then ensued, in which 7\T OCCl'Q. U nvt ger and Brock look part. Before the latter concluded his remarks, the i I louse, at 3 p. in., adjourned. "Washington, July 2, 1850. SENATE.'

Mr. Douglas said tlmt if Congress , should have to sit till the Itli Marc!), it ought not to adjourn till the present agitating questions be settler). Mr. Foote was in favor of the adjournment.

In regard to the claim of Texas, j * he repeated it had no foundation.? Texas wasentitled to admiration and respect; but she knew well how to coin money out of admiration. Mr. Husk called the Senator to wider. % The Vice President said the question was one of taste, not order.

Mr. AN'a 1 os presented resolutions j adopted by a public meeting of oiti /.ens of Wilmington, Deleware, in opposition to the Senate compromise bill, which wore read. Mr. Clay said he hat; no doubt that the compromise, if passed, would give entire satisfaction to the people of Delaware. The resolutions, he said, had a strong diplomatic odor. Mr. W ales?Perhaps they have. But printed forms of memorials, in fa-; vor of the compromise, were sent to Delaware for signatures from this | city, and 1 have not heard of the first l\ l .i i .i man m i/eiaware tnai signed tliem. ] After some remarks from Mr. Foote t (lie resolutions were laid 011 the table. Mr. Cass's resolution, for an inquiry as <0 the expediency of prohibiting, by law. military ollieers of the L'nited States from exercising- civil functions, was taken up. Mr. 1 lonston spoke in opposition to Col. Monroe's course in New Mexico and the President's policy, weich had always been hostile to Texas, lie spoke in favor of an adjustment of tIk: dillicult questions before the country, and deprecated the President's interference as calculated to enibarasss it. He adverted to the Nashville Convention and the sole and selfappointed delegate from Tex-i as to it, and entered his solemn pro-: test against all its proceedings. The subject was laid aside. The adjustment bill was taken up, and Mr. liell addressed the Senate, fie said that the subject was becom-! ing more complicated and less capable of adjustment. He was uncommitted as to this bill 1 but he regretted that it was not a more comprehensive scheme, and | more likely to give permanent peace to the country. The bill, if passed, , was but a temporary ex pedient, and j in five years, another shock would be I felt, i lo showed that the Texan <Hies'ion, as to the admission of new States, was not settled by the bill, j The Norlh would never admit new i slave Slates from Texas. A fearful | struggle would arise on that question, j and to prevent it should be the effort ! of statemcn now. ]f there had been a concurrence of 1 effort between the President and in- j fluential men in Congress, apian of i adjustment would have been agreed ! upon. Mr. Bell defended the 1'resident from t ho various charges made against him in reference to his alleged course as to California; and then proceeded to rebuke Mr. ('lay forcensu- j riivr the President's plan, and ehal- i < ging any friend of the administra- j tion to stand up here and support it. JVLr. i;iav remarked tlv.it lie came , 1 here intending to co-operate with the ' * President, and was still willing to do | it. liut lie was determined to follow ( the dictates ofhis own judgment. 1 le only asked ol the President, on this!1 subject, to stand aloof. But the Presi- I 1 dent and the Republic had attacked I the adjustment scheme of the com- 'i mittee of thirteen. If the President j ( had not interfered, the adjustment; . bill would have commanded a major-|, ity of both honsesAli*. Bell proteedod, at length, to j ' vindicate the President, and to show j. that, .is a man of soil it, he could not , . i ?-*v g.\ nave acieu uinerenuy. ( The Senate adjourned. Iiousr. OF H EI* RESENT AT IVES. On motion of Mr- Morse, it was 1 agreed that when the House adjourn, 1 it he till Friday next, to enable the i members to regard, in an appropriate j manner, the 74th anniversary of American Independence. The vote was, yeas 94, nay 72. Mr. Holmes made an ineffectual effort to introduce a resolution instructingthe committee on Foreign .

The London Times is lending its vast influence in npposi iiwii iu uu iiinuoii j 1 <i?ki a puvv: erful articln on Friday, thus: l\\ lintover nny be the ultimate e Hoots of these events on the government of j this country, we hold ii to he a mor- j al impossibility for Lord Palmerston to restore the foreign relations ofEng land to their natural, peaceful, and honorable condition; and as long as | he holds the seal of tliat ofVice,most wholesome and important duties' will i remain in abeyance.1 The Liverpool Journal of Thursday night, says: 'Lord John Russel 'dealt the worst blow to the Peers which they have ever yet received.

Certainly the love of office, for mere elfice sake, or the pride of the Pal-! mar&ton policy, mi s', be strong, when an Autocrat of the Hou&v of Bed-; ford can thus repudiate the House of Lords, and with t'le gu :to of a republican, centre all constitutional control in the representatives of Commons. !
