The Hansai Debate iu the Senate?Meaars. I.Tftlo and Toombs. Tlir? debate on Kansas affairs was contimit il in the S>eiiiit? on Thursday l>y Messrs. Hale and Toombs. It was generally expected that Mr. Hale would make hii effort to retrain the ground lost l?v Iiifii I in the short personal rencounter wliivli oc- 1 currcd a few days since between liim r.vl J Senator Jones ?f Tennessee. Mr. 11 tie j concluded, however, that "discretion viia i tlio better part of valor1' with sUcli ah a'.w " tagonist, and thereby disappointed a Ih:..o audience, who anticipated another eXl i* tion of talents in the way of spicy wit a d' keen repartee, for which bot'i of these s?'im? tors lilive h wide reputation. Mr. II ! > preferred to take u|? ;i challenge ntade ?.ty the President, and ivpeati-d l>y Mr. Toili'oy, to the effect that the President had d,?ch.irged Iii.-> whole dniy in regard to ikPlK.":-1 l?l?s in K;iih;i-'. !! went over il,c beaten^ track of Abolition, but failed to make the slightest W>K.'U Upon itic impregnate, positions advanced l?v the Pre>ident in his message and proclamation, and so ably sustained by Messrs. Toucey and Jones.? llo was quite as savage as Mr. Wilson on the " border ruffians," and on the nets of their legislature. Much of his speech was devoted to the general subject of slaveiy, and to reading extra -!-) from newspapers nnd resolutions to show that certain New England politicians, who are now noi'iid Democrats, were tinctured with freesoilisi'i ?onie tell years ago. This portion of hi< ; ?]ieecli was a m?i? r<>!iasli gl I la* liul>itn;il j ant of Abolitionists, and was evi?l?-n!ly in- t letuleJ for Iluneombe. lie seeme<l to be [ peoially provoke'l at the eharge that the I North ha<l been guilty of aggression upon ;hc rights of the South ; ami if t>oi?! aasery lion was argument, he repelled the charge. His argument in support of the constitutional power of Congress to prohil>it shlVe- j V in the Territories, showed clearly that j Mr. Halts mistakes his genius when he ! launches upon a constitutional tlm'iiA- ' ion. lie made tip. however, in boldness of! assertion what, lie larked in strength of ar- I gument. He. professed 10 lie alilo to put j his finger on the ebiu*>o in tha Constitution j whiJi gives the pow??r; ami, f.tllin^ into the error that Mr. Sewartl was familiar with J that instrument, M?. IIalc that gcti- | tleinan the Constitution to tuiti to the clause. Whether Mr. Seward ivw iyri )r.vit ;u to the clause referred to, or whether ' his acquaintance with the Constitution was 1 r.ot nuUieientlv intimate, In? was unable to find it before Mr. II de needed it in the progress of his remark*, and therefore he proceeded to quote it, from memory. It turned out lo I><> the clause which (jives Congress power to make nil needful rules and regulations in respect to the territory an ! other property of the United States.? lie seemed to think there was much meaning in the world all, wild laid much stress on it. Like every other one who has ever sought the p.?\ver in this clause, he made and utter failure. lie denounced, with great bitterness, the Northern " doughfaces" whom he charged w'.th having been bought tin hv the South. Mr. 'looml>* followed in the discussion ; and, although he occupied less than halt the time of Mr. II do, his reply to every material position was full ami conclusive. ? lie sustained the course of the President in an argument which, for clearness, fierce, conclusiveness, nn< 1 elotponce, has been sel'lotn equalled in tho Si-natc. He relii*d for Ins facts upon tho ?>ilici-?l doi-uin-ut.*, and by them tie showed tiiat. tiie President had followed the law r.f the land, in Irs policy with scrupulous fidelity, mid that he had interposed his executive authority at J the right time and in the right manner?- j neither too soon nor too late, I ut at the , ery time when the facts called for and justified his interpositir* Mr. Toombs commenced an earnest defence of the character of Mr. Atchison, but Mr. Hale disclaimed any intention in his j remarks to assail Mr. Atchison. Mr. j Toombs then turned upon him with a look and manner that indicated the deepest 1 corn, Ktid denounced that species of assault which gives circulation to anonymous o.a- i bunnies, and yet skulks from responsibility } by disclaiming any intention to endorse them. Mr. Toombs appealed to the legislative history of the Government from 1789 to 1820. ' mid defied any man In point t?> an act of Congress during tliat period wliicli recognizes in Congress the power to proliil.it slavery in the Territories. lie pointed to the fact that in that time eight territorial laws had l?een passed, and in no one ot* these was this power assumed or recognized. Ho accepted the proportion ot Mr. IIalo| to appeal to the fathers of livj Constitution ] on tliis point, and he then turned to tlie J opinions of Mr. Jefferson and Mr Madison, showing that when the question arose for the first time in 1810, when Missouri sought ndmission into the Union, these fathers of] the republic denied the power of Congress ! to prohibit slavery in the Territories. The answer of Mr. Toombs to the charge ! of Mr. llale, that for fifty years the South ; had controlled the Government by the aid , of Northern " doughfaces," who had been j bought up, was the most ciashing and overwhelming rrply that we ever heard tlliulA to nil mituirniiict - Me Tiw.ml.c corned the imputation that the South J would stoop to maintain its influence by a : retort to bribery, whilst he vindicated with j unsurpassed power mid eloquence the reputations o: the national men of the North who have stood <u the breach, and co-operated willi the national men of the South in resisting the aggressions of fanaticism upon ! the constitutional rights of the Southern people. If Mr. IIhIo is not utterly in*?nsi ble to shame, he must have felt deeply and keenly the force of the rebuke so eloquently administered by Mr. Toombs, and so pointedly endorsed by the burst of applause which came from the ciowded galleries.? We shall avail ourselves of <111 em 1) opportunity to publish entire the powerful ftpucch of Mr. Toombs; ami if the Democracy throughout the country will give a free circulation to Mich speeches ns thoso ot Me-sfira, 'foucey, Jones, ami Toomb*, there wilt be no dijftculty in the Presidential election.?

The treaty was made under these circumstances, to wit: Nicaragua had t'iken possession of San J nan, ami a British force was lauded there and the Niearaguese were expelled, and their flag supplanted by that of Mosquito. The difficulty was settled by a treaty concluded at Cuba, an Island in Lake Nicaragua, one of the articles of which stipulates that any attempt by the /H?car;igucse "to exercise sovereignty over any part of tlio Mosquito territory or retake possession of San Juan, should he construed as a declaration of war against Great Biituin." I have also information from an authentic sour?*H that the commander of Her Britannie Majesty's fleet on the West Indian station has distinct orders to prevent Nicaragua, hy forest, if necessary, from taking possession of San Juan. It appears probable, therefore, that il' the Nicaraguan gov ernment attempt to carry into effect their late decree, the British consul at San Juan will enter a protest against it, and give notice of the fact to the commanders of the British shi|?s of war on that coast. A British war steamer is always in readiness at San Juan to carry orders or despatches to the British admiral. It is not improbable, therefore, Greytown will soon be the scene of another bombardment.

Nothing is more astonishing and strange. How does it happen that a semisavage shepherd of the Appennine, should have been able to transform this rustic whistle into a most admirable instrument, which seems as an echo of the feelings of this musical soul, clad in this rude envelop, with one of its avenues quite shut out? By what marvellous instinct has this Alpin creature felt, through one single organ, the harmony of created things, and the beau- i ties of existences which people the universe, and which he has never been able to contemplate? Yes, a sublime instinct alone enabled him to feel with his mind and heart all tho wonders of sensation; in the midst of an eternal night, he has felt these sounds, these harmonics spring from his heart, and used the first and rudest instrument that fall under his hands, to pour out his soul in harmonious modulations. Thus ho has created a world of his own, aud every pure emotions spring from this unknown soul, through this rustic tube; and this virtuoso, becomes the Paganini of the whistle. He has had the must complete success. lie has charmed and delighted everybody. lie played all the grand morccaux of mu-do, of the great masters, and this was considered a miracle.

He began, in his letter of July 10, after acknowledging that { the acts complained of were "in many instances undoubted violations of the law of llie United Slates," by declaring, in the most emphatic manner, that the persons by whom they were done " had no anthority . whatever lor their proeei dings from any ( British agents, by all of whom they were promptly and unequivocally disavowed."

The English press will sec with some ( surprise that there is not the slightest ex I foundation for the statement made iu Par- , I liament. .'is well as in tln? London Timi-s. that ample acknowledgements and apolo- ^ gies have been made in this case by the British Government. Nothing of the sorr ' can be detected in the correspondence. On !?l the contrary, the conduct of the Govern- 1,1 ment and of its agents is sought lo be jus- w' tificd from the very beginning. The near- . est approach to an acknowledgment is l,,r found in the statement, that the business Wl of recruiting was ordered to be discou- I,0< tinned as Boon as it was found tliat the l>e American Government disapproved of it ?and the force of this is somewhat weak- lh< ened by the fact that tho statement proves ?u to bo untrue.
