FreeA'thi tondon:Times, lth' not. Unitd Sta*t sna Ppdi!DaL It is a natural, though an indirect,conse quence of the .mode of proceeding recently employed by Lord Palmerston to enforce certain claims against the Greek govern aent;- that innumerable other claims,. not more doubtfud in- principle or exaggerated in amount than those of Don Pacifico, have started into lifer and that other States have boen..encoursged to resort to proceedings which' thelate' example of England forbids the British government to condemn. The case of the American claims on Portugal, which hus' already boon made the subject of a peremptory ultimatum, backed by the pre sOfd6 'of d'faval squadron, is a startling in tancq of( tlifacility with which such pro kedonts are. fdlloWed; for not many years ago a late Anerican Secretary of State had hunself declared to the claimants, that ar gumonts and importunity having been ex. haufted, thr. Aaterican Government could see bothing in the circumstances to justify orvwarxuant it.in having recourpe to any oth er weapons." 'Subsequently to the intelli gence oftMr.Wyse's demands on the-Greek government having reached Washington, it would seem that General. Taylor and his Cabinet havo renounced this forbearance, sand Lie. accordingly menaced after the exai f the Pireus. It is a curious coincidence that the Por tuguese government should have played an Indirect part in the principal question at Athens as the original debtor of Pacilico, and that. it should now be held liable to the American Government for damages occas ioned by the forces of another power over which it had no control. But the latter case is, if:possible, more monstrous and ex travagant than that with which we have re cently had occasion to deal. On the 6th of September, 1814, during the last war be tween Groat Britain and tie United States, an American armed privateer, the "General Arnstrong," Captain Reid commanding, entered 'the neutral Portuguese harbor of F'ayal to water. . Site was followed, though rot actually chased, by the British vessels of war Plantagenet, 74; Rota, 39, and the Carnation brig, and Captain, Reid ordered his vessel to be warped in shore under the guns of the castle for safety. In the course of the evening a violation of the neutrality of the port of Payal undoubtedly occurred. The American, captain swore that tour armed boats from the British vessels were approaching his ship, and admits that lie, suspecting their intentions, warned them ofy and then fired upon them,. killing and wounding some of their men. ''he boats were eaid to have returned the tire with efyect, (though that assertion was contra dicted, as in fact they were not armed at all,) but subsequently wore ofi' to the ships, whence they returned at midguight with a powerful reinforcement, and a severe ac tion ensued, in which the "General Arm strong" was at length captured and de. stroyed by the British. So that even by this American version of the story, it was Captain Reid.who first violated the neutral. ity of t it. The aflidavit of the British otice ,however, that the boat fired upo~n Americans was unarmed, and was sent in merely to mnake inquiries, in spiof which it was brutally attacked by Captain Reid's orders. However this may helilto many similar occurrences in the heat an4 changcs of war, the ensuing treaty ftacd'nut.a end to all discussion as be - .t e'th erent powers, but' it is not qitkil'u1 j t.t .thirtvsix years. after. wel as this should be made a. ground of complaint and hostility against the neutral. 'T'he Anacricans aiiege that the Portugese Governor ought to have as sorted and enforced the neutrality of the harbor of Fayal, although he had but one hundred infantry and eight artillery men in, a castle with ruined defenccs; and that, as the Governor of Fayal failed to give to the American privateer the protectioni of a neua tral harbor, Porttugal muist pay for the de strtuction of that vessel a sum whaieb, ac cording to the Pacific scale of calculation, is modestly laid at 200,800 dollars. Thecre undoubtedly was in this case a violation of neutrality, though it is disptuted w~hether that violation was first conmunitted by the British boats under Lieut. P-aweett, orby the Americana privateer in the harbor. But it is a principle of the law of miatins, as laid dowvnby Sir Williiamn Scott, (the Eli::mn I Dodson, 2414.) that "where a violatin ot 'neutral territory takes place, that contry alone whose tranquility has been, disturheil p~ossesses the right of dletmandingr reparation for the injury which she hats sustained, and the enemy whose property has beent calp tu'red cannot haimiself give the claitm, but . must resort to 1he nteutral for his remaedy." But if an illegal capture or tattack has been maade in neutr-al wvaters, giving the aggriev ed party this last-mentioned species of re medly against the neutral, it follows that the neutral hias,fortiori, a chaitm for repiaration, against the State which has abtused its pro. teetion or violated its rights. The Govern or of Fayal did not acquiesce in thle attack on the American vessel, though lie was dis tinctly informed by the commander of the British forces that thme neutralv of thme port could no longer be respected, since the uan provoked attack of the Atmericana schaoonter on the British boaits; hut if' the lIriti,h otli cor who utidertook utnder these circum,. stt -ces to avenage that aittack, eveni at the risk 01 a~ breach of neutrality, was justied mn sua'h a proceedig--as w' thik upon evidence that he was-it woul d seema to be wholly inconsistent with the law of' nations and with our pecuiliar amaity wit h Por-t ugal, that she shuh1 now be helId responsible by the United St ates for ani act of a liritisIh teluadron-e whic-h she had not the power to prevent; and as this occurrence was entire ly caused eit her by the rashness or hios tility .of the Amnericanis themselves, as ap. pears by their own statement, or b'y the nie. cessary tmeasures taken b'y Capt. Lloiv, who coummanaded the British ship Plfantig. eneot, justice rerlmire.-c~ ihen thmat the (ov ernent, of the United States shoul desist from a such a claim, as Mr. Secretary Up shur had actually done in 18441, or that Great Britain should bear Portugal harm less for dan~ages comn,itted, and right fully comamittedl, by "urselves. T1he revival of detmands so dotubtful and so obsolete is not creditable to the Amaerican, Governten, andl thouagh the arguments which werce emii playecd last week in the hlouse of Coanotas wouldl justify these or any other exuactionis made by the strong tupon the weak, we must express the sime regret wheon this course is pursued by a foreign power as we did when it was adopted lay our govertnmnt toward Greece. It is not probable that the Portuguiese govenmnat will accede to thme dhemiatid of compensation for thme General Arnotrong, wvhich is so feebly supported by evidenace andI by law: and eon the lith inst., the American, minister at Lisboti will poissibily retire on board the United States squadron if lin.s atimaluma be not taccepted. TIhme ~strongth of that squadron is, we believe, not sufliciont to warrant it in making a di rect attar4 on Portaagal, or imitatinig Adir Ih Bathfin's .e - loit of piassinig the forts of tho gas f the G;reek precedlent is r.e tliarected against the trade of Portugal adimissable losses, it is evident that Eng lish interests in Portugal will be the first, to suffer, and we cannot imagine that this country would view such actmof hostility with indifTerence, especially when it is re mnemberod that they have arisen entirely out of an occurence which- took place- un der-the British flag. 'riTe naval station of the Tagus may be considered by the Uni. ted States of no less importance to their European interests than it is to ourselves; and though it would be consistent with the strict friendship which has so long existed between the courts of Great Britian and Portugal to urge upon the latter State the prompt recognition and settlement of all just claimsryet we are entitled to watch with more than common interest the possi bility of an attack on one of the most mari timne stations of Europe under a very ques tionable pretence, which the American Government had itself abandoned after twenty-eight years' discussion, and which it has only resumed eince the prosecution of such claiim by lur, e cane unl ickily in to fashion in Europe. Washington Monument. The Washington National Monument Society was formed in 1833, by sore of the first amen of the nation. The plan was to build the monument by voluntary con tributors of $1 each. In 18335-0 there were contributed, on this plan, 821,000. lThis money was invested in safe stocks, and the interest added yearly, until it had accumulated to nearly $ 50,000. With this fund to operate with, a site. was procured, a design for the monulnont selected, and the foundation laid July 4th, 18 8. 'T'lic work has been steadily pro gressing Ironi that period, and the original plan of erecting it by voluntary contributors is still adhered to, but without the limita tion to one dollar each. large contribu tions from the rich, amd smaller but not less patriotic ollirings from thse not classed among the wealthy, nre alike acceptable. Every American ought to esteem it a priv ilege to be able to assist in this patriotic work. - 'The mnonumnent will consist of two parts --a lofty counnm or obelisk in the centre, and a templ around its base. The great obelisk in the centre is the part now in pr, gress, ail to he completed first. ''his gre it stricture is to be 5t) feet high, 55 feet square at the top, with an opening in the centre 21 feet slpare. The walls are 15 feet thick at the base and will be four and a half at the top, faced tbroughout, with large deep blocks of excellent white mar ble. More than 50 feet of this lofty col umnn are already coipleted, and it w% ill be carried up an hiunlred feet a year, if funds are provided. ''hae estimated cost of the obelisk is half a million of dollars, of which nearly one hundred thousand have been ah ready received. 'ile l'antheon at the base, embraces a circular colonnaled builiing, 250 feet in (lianmeter and l01) feet high, from which springs the obelisk shat\, thus giving the latter a total elevation of 001) teet. 'his vast rotuinda is sutrrounded by :4) con inns of massive proportions, being 12 feet in diaeter and -15 feet higzh, standimiii upon it base of 20 feet elevation and :504) feet square; surmounted by an entabbiture 20 feet high, and crowned by a massive balus trade fifteen feet in height. The total ex phnse of the monument is estimated a 81,122,000. Why Epidemics rage at Night. It was one night that 100() perished in the Plague o! London of 1665.

Deathi.W rrans- in Latin. The practine of writing physicians' pre. scriptions in Latin has frequently led to fa. tal results and the law should compel phy. sicians to write them in the living and not in the dead languages, and then make a death manslaughter in the first degree, which ensues from the carelessness of apothecaries. We have another case to add to the many fatal ones growing-out of this practice. James D. Ward, of Boston, suf. fering a slight feverish turn, the attending physician directed him to take a dose of calotne', whici the apothecary prepared as he inugined, but began to vomit soon after taking the medicine, and sending for the apothecary found that he had mistaken the medicine and given him corrosire sub limate, a deadly poison, and Mr. Ward died. Now let us see what was the doc tor's prescription-sub nnuriate hydrar 10. Tlhe prescription for corroaivc sublimate is muriate hydrazn fost.. Now, as the two leading words sub muriatc hydrar and mu riate hydrar are alike, the apothecary may very innocently have made the mistake; and can such similiarities of terms in med icine be permitted to hazard the lives of patients ? Would it have been at all im proper-nay would not Mr. Ward have been spared to the world and his family ha I his doctor written the following pre. scription 'en grains of Calomel. Can any mistake be made by doctor, apothecary and patient in this I t seems however, that Latin is used by physicians to prevent the patient knowing what med icine he is taking, when the last iv, to in. spire confidence. The physician ought not only to allow the patient to know the character of the medicine prescribed, but the effect it is expected to produce- The doctor, however, apprehends that if the patient knows too much of his disorder, and the means necessary to efli'ct the cure, he will be his own physician, and thus les sen the fees of medical advisers, and as sev en tunes out of eight, the doctor is called on slight occasions, for which the patient could lin.elfathiniiister to the disease, a mystery is imade to surround the healing art by making prescriptions partake of a masonic influence, and the only injury is, that sonetilies the patient dies in taking the wrong inedicine. The doctor writes "S'ccharu,,m Saturni, VI (r." Six gaains of sugar of lead. Sal (;laubcri." (ilaubcr Salts; "Cochleuri am. pliton,' a large spoon ful; "Iiaurento Pilt lea," let the pills be gilt; "Piat rcnesccti, " To be bled; Give the medicine "gelatina ,uaris," in jelly; "Ifarun pilularum sum cnter tres," let three of these pills be taken; "hora dcucbitas," on going to bed; --olemun 'liirt opltinaunt," 11 oz of best olive oil. What a ponpous display of classical lore; where would be the injury in saying as mouch in good substantial Englishi Tue law should compel physicians to write their prescriptions in the lauguage of the coun try; there shoubl be no nystery on the subject: every man should know what lie is swallowing, and should not be miirdered by ignorance or chance in taking the wrung medici.--.V.

The first !amportant move with reference a to the Bill, was by Mr. Pearce,of Maryland, t proposing to strike out all relating to New F Mexico and the Texan boundary, for the C purpose of inserting a substitte offered by c him. After some discussion and sundry a propositions, Mr. Pearce modified his mo tion, by 5ffering simply to strike out, and in C .his (orm it was carried by the following % vote: C Yeas-Messrs. Baldwin, Barnwell, Ben- I ton, Berrien, Butler, Chase, Clarke, Davis, F of Massachusetts, Davis of Mississippi, I Dayton. Dodge of Wisconsin, Douglas, Ewing, Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Hunter Ma son, Miller, Morton, Pearce, Phelps, Se ward, Shields, Smith, Soule, Turnoy, Un derwood, Upham, Wales, Walker, Win. throp and Yulee--33.

Dodge of Iowa, Downs, Foote, i flouston, Jones, King, Mangum, Norris, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Spruance, Stur- i geon, and Whitcomb-22. Pending an attempt to insert something in the vacuum thus created (which was never filled however,) Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, moved the indefinite postpone ment, which was lost by the follo vote: Yeas-Messrs. Baldwin, Barn , Ben- i ton, Butler, Chase, Clarke, Clemens, Davis I of Massachusetts, Davis of Mississippi, 2 Dayton, Dodge of Wisconsin, Ewing, I Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Hunter, Mason, Miller, Phelps, Seward, Smith, Soule, Tur ney, Upham, Walker, Winthrop and Yu- t lee-27.

Morton, Norris, I Pearce, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Shields, t Spruance, Sturgeon, Underwood, Wales t and Whitcomb--32. Mr. Turn' y o Tennessee, :epeated the I motion after some time, and it,,. was again lost by a vote of 29 to 30, the difference be ing occasioned by the Senators of Texas, Messrs. Rusk, and Houston, who voted this time in the affirmative. The same motion was again offered by Mr. Chase of Ohio, and failed by a vote of 28 to 29. On comparing this with the list as reported above, it appears that Mr. Hale t did not vote at all, and ftbssrs. Ruslc and Sebastian voted with the "ayes," thus mak ing 2-Mr. Houston, in the negative. Mr Walker (of Wisconsin,) moved to strike out a.! except the.California portion of the bill, which was lost: . Yeas-Messrs.

Mr. Borland, of Arkansas, is the only Senator whose namte does not appear in that vote, while, in the list above stated, it wvili be seen that fifty-five votes were given, showing absence or dodging on the part of five Senators, who were Messrs. Borlar d, Cass, Clay, Cooper and Hale. Indefintito postponement was agin moved by Mr. Phelps, of Vermont, and failed by vote of twenty-eight to thirty, Messrs. Bar land and Sebastian not voting. Mr. Atchison, of Missouri, moved tuo strike onit all relating to California, which was lost by a tie vote. In the aflirmnative, the two Senators from each of the following States, Missouri, North Carolina, South Caralina, Georgia, Alabiamna, Mississippi, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Maryland, and Virina and one fronm Arkansas, Connecticut, ~1en nessee, Rhode Island, Vermont, respective ly, mnakimg twenty-nine.

Tlennessee, Vermont and II linois, respectively, Mr. Douglass not vo ting., and a Senator from Arkansas absent. Tlo follow the bill, howvever, through all its dlevious windings to the tomnb, wouldI take up too much space at present, for mo tions to amend, to postpone, &c. were offer ed on all sides, and the ayes and noes taken very3 freqnently. The finishing stroke was g'ven by a me- t tion to re-consider the vote above stated, by.t which the Senate refused to strike out the Celiforn sections. The motion to re-con. sidler, wvhiich was offered by Mr. WVinthrop, prevailed, and, after somne timo, the motion r of Mr. Atchison, as originally olfered, wast carried. Theia vote stood a follows, by a Ajirmat ire. Missouri, Massachusetts, North-Carol ina, Mississippi, Connecticut, Louiisiana, a South-Carolina, Virginia. Trennjessee, Florida, Georgia. Maryland, and Rhode Island, Arkansas (l vote) ~ Alabama, Vermont. Negatire.

It will thus he seen, that sixteen States r wore for striking out, oleven against it, and i three divided. liThe section was according. 1 ly stricken out by a vote of thirty-four to i tlwenty-five, and it is scarcely necessary for C us .to repeat the list of names which may 5 be inforred from the above statement, when g weo state ,that of the .three.

Thus ended, and thus perished most de ervedly,-the greatest instanc4 of legisla. ve jugglery the world ever witnessed, erhaps-the most delusive and deceptive ongloneration of measures that were ever rged on a free people by persuasion and woe names. It died simply because it vas not fit to live, and not for want of any are and nursing; on the contrary,- never as bantling niore tenderly or. Wore sedul. usly handled, and never, since the days of 4acbeth's witches, has a. cauldrom ben nized full of more disaimihfr inigredients, or >een stirred with umere hearty good-will. It has gone .thoug and let those wpep vho have occasion-the. Compromisers vho have only rompromised~ themselves, nd the traitors.who have lost the reward if their treason. 'Thus pirish all mea urea that would deceive and beguile a roe people-that come with the 'bands of Esau and the voice of Jacob." Thus per. sh all attempts to mingle to mingle togeth troil and water by legislative hoeus pocus, nstead of sound Constitutional chemistry! On Thursday the Senate took up the Bill eported by the Territorial Committee (Mr. Douglas Chairman,) for the admission of ali rnia as a State. Mr. Foote moved that 35dg. 30min. be he Southern boundary of the State, and af or some discussion b Messrs. Dawson, Iason, Butler, IIale, Clay, Dickinson, and 'oote, the subject was postponed. The bill to provide a territorial govern nont for Utah (being all that was left of he Compromise after the severe elimination if Wednesday) was then taken up, received s third reading, and sent to the house. In the House several report were pre ented, and among them a bill from the ommitteo on Naval atyairs, to provide a inc of steamers for the coast of Africa for he purpose of suppressing the African slave rede, and protecting American commerce, vhich received two readings, and was re. erred to the Committee of the Whole. The Fortification bill was then taken up, vhen Mr. King, (of New-York) moved to trike out a clause appropriating 83,000 to reserve the site of Fort Moultrie, which notion was lost by vote of 11 to 104. UTAn.-When Mr. Clay, at an early pe. led of the debate, drew the affecting pic. ure of the unjust slight ofered by -'Miss alifornia," to her eider sister,.

The special committee appointed to inves gate the particulars of the difhicuilty be ween Senators Foote and Benton made heir report last Monday. The committee, fler recapitulating the particulars of the Iisgraceful scene, expresses the belief that htr. Denton either intended to make a per onal assault on Mr. Foote, or rushed to. yards him for the purpose of intimidating dmn. That hits manner, coupled with liis irevious declarations, was certainly such as o justify Mr. Foote in the belief that the tirst vas his iention, as it evidently did excite uch apprehensions in the mind.s of many, f not most all, of the Senators who witness ~d it. The report adds that Mr. Foote then ent his seat, without advancing toivands Mr. entton, hut in fact placing hnmuself further roin haii, and though lie drew a deadly reapon, lie did not present it, and readily rive it up wihen demanded of him. No blow' vas struck--no shot tired--but it is assert d1 there wvas imminent daniger that the senate chamber would be the scene of a l'adly and criminal encounter. Thme comn niutee add tha~t they cannot too strongly :ondemnn the practce of wearing arms in the enate chamber. Trhat Senators should re y fer defence upon the Senate, whose high uty it is to protoct its members from injur 'r insult, and whose practice should furnish: perfect guaranty of snch protection. A ifliorent course wouild convert the halls of agislation into bloody arenas, and destroy be value, if not the exisfence, of the insti ut ions from which spring onr glory and our ood. The report concludes as follows: "In the present case, uinder all circum Lances, the committee forbear to recoin. iend any action to the Senate. They hopo hat the strong con~demnation oh the person lities which led to threatened violence, their ensure of the attempt, by a member, to vengo in the presence of the Senate, and f the practice of carrying arms in the Sen. to chamber, will be a sufficient rebuke, uid a wyarning not unheeded iii future. thould this hopo prove vain, and sinmiliar cenes of violence again occur, they cannot oubt that the SenaJpo will enforce prompt, tern, and effectual penishmnit."
