The Senate, to day, went into Exccu- I ive session on the treaty with (front I iJrituin. They remained in secret session j ; ihoijt two hours.

Mr. Adams is Chairman of the Select1 Committee of thirteen on the Veto Message. lie will probably draw up tho report, and I have no doubt it will he a strong one, and, as opposed to Mr. Tyler, very severe. The whigs hy arrangement, suffered Mr. Adams to this duty, as he was j desirous of doing it. The Fortification lull was taken tip | and Mr. Fillmore explained that the ori- j ginal estimates were $1,000,000 ; hut in consequence of the condition of the j Treasury, the Committee had reduced them to $258,000?the lowest sum that would suffice to keep the works in order, lie avowed his unwillingness to vote for any appropiations, while the prospects: was that the Government would have no j means to meet them, other than a resort j to loans. I This induced some conversation on the j great topic which now interests the whole country?the prospect of the pas- | sage, ofanv Revenue Rill. m Mr. Rowne, oi New-York, challenged j the Whigs to avow the determination of | leaving the country destitute of revenue ; ' and said the President was ready to sign j 1*11.1 I A II a revenue inn, inougn noi as coupiea : with the distribution hill?that a proper hill could he passed in one day, &c. Mr. Fillmore, in the course of his reply?the whole of which is worthy ofat. tcntion as coming froni the Chairman of the Ways and Means,and a man of great I sagacity?said, if t!ie gentlemen on the j other side were solicitous to supply the j Treasury, there was a hill before them which would do it. Many asked "where." Mr. Fillmore oinied iu I!*e hill on the table--.the vc-1 toed hill?and asked gentleman to come | up to the mark and carry that through J by a vote of two-thirds. This was an-1 nouueed with loud laughter and derision from the democratic side. Mr. Fillmore admitted that there was good reason to fear that the wants of the Treasury would not he supplied at the present se'sion, he said, too, that the hill on the t;h!c would probably he vetoed by the President, even if the land clause were stricken out of it. Washington, Aug. 13. The Senate was not in secret session to-day. We hear nothing more of the treaty, except that even the Globe concedes that it will be ratified. There was, it is said, a fully attended whig caucus yesterday morning, at which the subject of another revenue bill was discussed. It is said, there was little disposition manilested for consultation and dclibc/aticn on the subject. The majority of the party arc unwilling to concede what they doom their legislative rights i tr r> j to the will of the Executive. But there arc other difficulties in the wav. The | abandonment of distribution weakens, nay destroys the union of the whig party, and involves the consequent abandonmcnt of Mr. Clay. That is now openly j spoken of as a strong reason for adhering to the policy settled upon by the party. In fact, it would seem to he a good deal to require of a party to ask them to (lis. solve and disband, after the efforts of a dozen years to consolidate their interests The whigs, therefore, ask if concessions are required for the good of the country, must all these concessions Come from us? Will neither the President nor the democratic party concede any thing? But there arc other difficulties after the party tie is dissolved. The whigs will j split on the tariff. It will be exceeding-1 ly difficult to frame a bill to suit a tun-! loritv of the house. The whole western1 I whig vote, with the exception of a few j individuals, and the whole southern whigi io!c, excepting two Lousisinniar.*, will 1 5f) against any tariff that tlic northern j and eastern whigs wdi .vrcc to. Mr, C. J. I riGERSOLi. framed a tariff hill < fo suit the western democratic tariff men.: To-dav, he asked leave to introduce it, The vote was yeas 4d, nays 118. So.) the subject is surrounded with difficulties.. Nothing can he done, as things appear now. The fortification bill as reduced was ardcrod to a third reading. Mr. Fillmokf. then stated that he had reluctantly k'otcd for the third reading of this hill ; - iii - . i . that tnorc wquiu ne no money to imxi u in<l it had better bo laid on the table, till j it was seen whether there would be any) money to meet it. He moved to lay it j in the table, which was agreed to, by a j large majority. The Senate was engaged on private i bills all day. Mr. \V. Cost Johxson gave notice of' a bill to provide f?>r an adequate revenue ; to prevent defalcation* ; to encourage the j growth.of tobacco and grain by counter- j vailing duties; to make a sound and uni-! form currency, an 1 pay the debts of the j States, by issuing two hundred millions j of stock to the States, on bonds of from j me hundred to one thousand dollars, &c.
