-. I From tin Lbndon Times, I'1h Inst. United State e and Portugal It is a naturafthougi an i'ndirect,conse quence of thcmode of proceeding. recently employed by Lord Palmerston to: enforce certain claims against the Greek govern ment;- that innumerable other claims,, not more doubtf'iirr principle or exaggerated in amount thn those of Don Pacifico, have started into' life, and that other States hiive been ,encouraged to resort to proceedings Which the late' example of England forbids the British government to condemn. The case of the American claims on Portugal, which has already been made the subject of a perempstory ultimatum, backed by the pre sel ofi ariaval'equadro'n ,is a startling in Sanc.of the facility with which such pre defents are fdllowed; for not many years ago a late Amnerican Secretary of State had Junself declared' to the claimants, that ar guments and importunity having been ox hausted, the Anericatn Government could see hothing in the circunstances to justify oryarrarq;,it in having recourpe to any oth er weapons." 'Subsequently to the intelli gence oftfr.Wyse's demands on the Greek government having reached Washington, it would seem.that General. Taylor and his Cabinet have renounceu this forbearance, and l;sli ' accordingly menaced after tale exam f the Pirm~us. 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 Pacifico, and thatit should now be held liable to the American Government for damages occas ioned by.the forces of another power over tvhich 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 26th of September, 1814, during the last war be tween Great Britain and the United States, an American artned privateer, the "General Arnstrong," Captain Reid conmnanding, entered 'the neutral Portuguere harbor of Fayal to water. Sihe was followed, though not actually chased, by the British vessels Of war Plantagenet, 74; Rota, 88, and the Catiation brig, and Captain. Reid ordered his vessel to be warped in shore uinder the guns of the castle for safety. In the course of the evening a violation of the neutrality of the port of Fayal undoubtedly occurred. The American captain swore that four armed boats from the British vessels were approaching his ship, and admits that he, suspecting their intentions, warned them offand then fired upon them. killing and wounding some of their men. The boats were said to have returned the fire with efibet, (though that assertion was contra dicted, as in fact they were not armed at all,) but subsequently wore off to the ships, wvhence they returned at midgnight with a powerful reinforcement, and a severe ac. tion ensued, in which the "General Arm strong" was at lentith captured and de strayed by the British. So that even by this American version of the story, it was Captain Reid.who first violated the neutral ity of th "bit. The aflidavit of the British oflicer, s, however, that the boat fired upon Americans was unarmed, and Was sent in merely to make inquiries, in sp of which it was brutally attacked by Captain Reid's orders. However this nay be, Jik'e many similar .ocdurrences in the heat an.chapcs of war, the ensuing treaty Sace.. ut amend to ali discussion as be t% e t rent povers, but it is not - a'lifttl'uifu tt at thirty-six years after. w&'d6 a c sotas this should-bo made a ground of complaint and hostility against the neutral. 'riTe Americans allege that the Portugese Governor ought to have as sorted and enforced the neutrality of tihe harbor of Fayal, although he had but one hundred infantry and eight artillery mnen in a castle with rujned defences; and thlat, as thte Governor of Fayal failed to give to the Amnericanl privateer the pr-otectin of a neil tral hlarbor, Portugal must15 pay for the de struction of that vessel a sum wvhich, ac cording to the Pacific scale of calculation, is imodestly laid at 200,8300 dollars. -There undoubtedly was in this case a violation of neutrality, though it is disputed whiethler that violation was first commilittedi by thle British boats tunder Lietit. Faweer't, or by the American privakteer ill the harblor. But it is a principle of the law of nationls, as laid dowvn by Sir William Scott, (the E/i::an I DJodson, 2-14.) thlat "where a. violation of nleutral territory takes pllace, that country alone whose tranq(uility has been distulrb~ei possesses the right of -lernianding repairation for the injtury which she0 hais sumstaiined, and tile enemy whose property has bleen cap tulred canniot himnself give the clim, but .must resort to Ihoe teutral for his reimedly." Bunt if an illegal caplture or attack hals been made in neutrai waters, giving tile aggriev ed party this last-mentioned spe~cies of re medy against thu ineutral, it follows that tile neutral hlasfortitori, a claim for repa'ration againlst the State whlich hlas abused its po tection or violated its rights. The Govern or of F~ayal did not acquiesce i lie attack on tile American vessel, thlough lie was (1hs. tinctly iinformead by the commander of lhe British forces that the neutrahmiy of the port could no0 loinger he respected, sinlce the un provokedl attack of the Aiierican schooner on the Bit ish boats; bunt it' thme liritishi olli cer who undertook u~nder thiese crirenm atancees to avenge that attack. event the lc risk of a breach of neut rality', was just 'ied in sneh 'a proceedmiig-as we thiinkt upon evidence that he was--it woumhI sent to be whiolly iinconsistenmt withI the law of nat ions and wvith oulr peculiar amity with P'ortugal, that she should now be held responsible by tile ~Uited States for an aot ot a liritish, squalfdron whlich she had not the power to p revent; and as thlis occurrence was ent ire ly causledi elither bly the rashtness or hios tility .of thte Amnericans thlemlselves, as up. pears by their own statement, o~r by the ne. cessary measures takein by Capt. Lloyd, who commanded thIe Brntish ship lanimtsg. eneot, justice require-- eliher that the Gov ernmtent, of thu Utnited States shouhtll des.ist fromn a such a claim, a1s Mr. Secretary Up. shut' hlad actually done iin 1$-i1, or that Great Britaini sitould hear Portugal hiarm less for damages comraittedh, and right fully .commritted, by oursolves. Th'e revival of doimands so doubtful anid so obsolete is not credhitable to tile Atnerican Govemnent, amnd though theo argumiients wvhich wvere' emi ployed last week in thle llouse of Cnunmions would jastify these or an~y other exactions mnade by the strong upon the weaik, we must express the stme regret whetn this course is pursued by a foreign power as we did wvhen it was adopted by our goverment toward Greece. IL is not prnbable that the P'ortuguese governmteint wvilh accede to the dlemiand of compensation for tile Gemneral Armitrong, whmich is so feebly supported by evidenco anud by law; .and on the lithi inst., the Arnericanl minister at Iasbon will possibly retire on board thle Unlited States squadron if- his ultinmaum . be nDL accepted. Thme s.trengtht of that squadron is, we believe, not tsufliciont to- warrant it in making a dIi rect attac'k on Portugal, Or imitating Admoir-.

The naval station of the Tagus may be considered by the Uni. ted Staten of no less importance to their tI European interests than it is to ourse.ves; and though it would he consistent with the p 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 a just claimrryet we are entitled to watch a with more than common interest the possi- ti bility of an attack on one of the most marl- t time stations of Europe under a very ques- d tionable pretence, which the American t Government had itself abandoned after j twenty-eight years' discussion, and which it has only resnmed since the prosecution of sutch claani by fhreo came unl cki!y in- r to fashion in Europe. v Washington Monument. The Washington National Monument U Society was formed in 1833, by some of the first men of the nation. The plan was p to build the monument by voluntary con- ht tributors of $1 each. In 1835-6 there s, were contributed, on this plan, $2b,000. This money was invested in safe stocks, and the interest added yearly, until it had a accumulated to nearly $50,000. h With this fund to operate with, a site. tc was procured, a design for the nonumnent is selected, and the foundation laid July 4th, .t 1" 1r. The work has been steadily pro- I gressing from that period, and the original c plan of erecting it by voluntary contributors tI is still adhered to, but without the limtita- d tion to one dollar each. Large contribu tiots from the rich, and smaller but not less patriotic olli'rings from those not classed h amtur the wealthy, are alike acceptable.- s Every American ought to esteem it a pryi- e ilege to be able to assist in this patriotic u work:. The monument will consist of two parts I, -a lofty column or obelisk in the centre, a and a temple around its base. The great a obelisk in the centre is the part now in pro- t1 gress, and to he completed first. This gre it tl stricture is to be 500 feet high, 55 feet sqiuare at the top, with an Opening in the { centre 'L1 feet square. The walls are 15 feet thick at the base and will be four and a half at the iop, faced throughout, with h Iarge deep block of excellent white mar- 3 ile. More than 50t feet of this lofty col. uni are already completed, and it u ill be carried up an hundred feet a year, if funds are provided. The estimated cost of the , obelisk is half a million of dollars, of which 5 nearly one hundred thousand have been al- e ready received. The 'antheon at the base. embraces a circular colonnaded building, 250 feet in diameter and 1(1tt feet high, from whie bi springs the obelisk shaft, thus giving the latter a total elevation of 6(0) feet. This vast rotmda is surrotunded by :K0 colunms b of massive proportions, being 12 feet in ! diameter and .15 feet high, standimg upon a base of 20 feet elevation and 300 feet square; surmounted by an entablature 20 i, feet high, and crowned b?. a massive balus trade fifteen feet in heig lt. The total ex- h pense of the monument is estimated a. h $1,122,000. c Why Epidemics rage at Nr;ht. It was one night that 40(K) perished ini the Plague of London of 16(15.

The practice of writing physicians' pro Iriptions in Latin has frequently led to fa 1 results and the law should conpel phy. clans to write them in the living and not the dead languages, and then snake a 3ath manslaughter in the first degree, hich ensues from the carelessness of mothecaries. We have another case to add the many fatal ones growing out of this ractice. James D. Ward, of Boston, suf. ring a slight feverish turn, the attending iysician directed him to take a dose of sloutel, which the apothecary prepared s he inmigined, but began to vomit soon rter taking the medicine, and sending for I to apothecary found that he had mistaken to medicine and given him corrosirc sub male, a deadly poison, and Mr. Ward led. Now let us see what was the doc ir's prescription-sub mtriale hydrar 10. he prescription for corrosive sublimate is iunate hydrar fast.. Now, as the two tading words sub muriatc hydrar and mu. tale hydrar are alike, the apothecary may ery innocently have nade the mistake; ad can such sintiliarities of terms in med ine be permitted to hazard the lives of atients ? Would it have been at all im roper-nay would not Mr. Ward have cen spared to the world and his family at 1 his doctor written the following pre :ription': 'Ten grains of Calonel. Can any mistake be made by doctor, pothecary and patient in this ? It seems owever, that Latin is used by physicians prevent the patient knowing what md ine he is taking, when the fact is, to in Mire confidence. The physician ought ot only to allow the patient to know the baracter of the medicine prescribed, but te efl'ect it is expected to produce- The octor, howevor, apprehends that if the atient knows too much of his disorder, ud the means necessary to effect the cure, o will be his own physician, and thus les it the fees of medical advisers, and as sev n tiitnes out of eight, the doctor is called it slight occasions, for which the patient ould hitnselfiadininister to the disease, a mystery is made to surround the healing rt by snaking prescriptions partake of a masoie influence, and the only injury is, tat sometimes the patient dies in takin to wrong itnedicine.

TPribun From the Columbl Telegrsp The CompromisoeVote.. California seems so thoroughly imbued wli! the spirit of disorganization, thatevei i vote on the question cannot be taken With. nut some confusion or distuibance. Wed' iesday last--the day on which the Compro emise received its quietus-was according ly marked by considorable "noise and con. fusion," and it is utterly impossible for us to give in our limited space, a sketch even :f everything that was done: We annex however, an abstract of the proceedings so far as the Compromise was concerned which will be of interest now, and to which cur readers may have occasion to refer here after. We give only the most important votes and decisions. The first important move with reference to the Bill, was by Mr. Pearce,of Maryland, proposing to strike out all relating to New Mexico and the Texan boundary, for the purpose of inserting a substitute offered by him. After some discussion and sundry propositions, Mr. Pearce modified his mo tion, by 8fl'ring simply to strike out, and in .his form it was carried by the following vote: Yeas-Messrs. Baldwin, Barnwell, Ben. ton, Berrien, Butler, Chase, Clarke, Davis, of Massachusetts, Davis of Mississippi, Dayton. Dodge of Wisconsin, Douglas, Ewing, Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Hunter Ma son, Miller, Morton, Pearce, Phelps, Se ward, Shields, Smith, Soule, Turney, Un. derwood, Upham, Wales, Walker, Win. throp and Yulee-33. Nays-Messrs. Atchinson, Badger, Bright, Case, Clay, Clemens, Dayvson, Dickinson. Dodge of Iowa, Downs, Foote, Houston, Jones, King, Mangum, Norris Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Spruance, Stur. genii, and Whitcomb--22. Pending an attempt to insert something in the vacuum thus created (which wai never filled however,) Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, moved the indefinite postpone nment, which was lost by the follo g vote: Yeas-Messrs. Baldwin, Barnwoll Ben. ton, Butler, Chase, Clarke, Clemens, Davis of Massachusetts, Davis of Mississippi, Dayton. Dodge of Wisconsin, Ewing, Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Hunter, Mason, M iller, Phelps, Seward. Smith, Soule, Tur ney, Upham, Walker,- Winthrop and Yu. lee-27. Nays-Messrs. Atchinson, Badger, Bell Berrien, Bradbury, Bright, Cass, - Clap Cooper, Dawson, Dickinson, Dodge of Iowa Douglas, Downs, Felch, Foote, Houston, Jones, King, Mangum. Morton, Norris Pearce, Pratt, Rtusk, Sebastian, Shields Spruance, Sturgeon, Underwood, Wales and Whitcomb-32. Mr. Turney of Tennessee, repeated the 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 Houst'n, who voted this time in the affirmative. The same motion was again offered by Mr. Chase of Ohio, and failed by a vote ol 28 to 29. On comparing this with the list as reported above, it appears that Mr. IIali did not vote at all, and Messrs. Rusk and Sebastian voted with the "ayes," thus mak. ing 28-Mr. Houston, in the negative. Mr Walker (of Wisconsin,) moved t( strike out all cxcnpt the California portion of the bill, which was lospf Yeas-Messrs. Baldwin, Benton, Bright Chase, Clarke;' Davis of -Massachusetts Dayton., Dodge of Wisconsin, Ewing Greene, Hamlin, Miller, Phelps, Seward, WValkbr, i, ?'h Nays-Messrs.

By referring to the vote on the first mo. tion to postpone, it will be seen that 50 Sen. ators voted, lacking but one of a full Sea. ate. Mr. Borland, of Arkansas, is the only Senator whose name does not appear in that vote, while, in the list above stated, it will be seen that fifty-five votes were given, showing absence or dodging on the part of five Senators, who were Messrs. Borlard, Cass, Clay, Cooper and Hale. Indefinite postponement was aga in moved bmy Mr. Phelps, of Vermonit, and failed by vote of twenty-eight to thirty, Messrs. Bor. land and Seb~astian nt votingg. Mr. Atchison, of Missouri, moved tr strike out all relating to California, wvhicli wvas lost by a tie vote. Ini thme atlirmnative, the two Senators from each of the following States, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alaama, Mississippi, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Maryland, and Virginia, and one from A rkasaus, Connecticut, Ten. nessee, Rhode Island, Vermont, respective. ly, making twenty-n~ne. In the negative were the twvo Senatori from Maine, Indiana, Mi:-higan, Ohio, Ken tumcky, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, New~ Jersey. Ne w York, WVisconsin, Ne w IH amp. shire, Declaware, and amne from Rhmode Island, Conecticut. Tennessee, Vermont and 11. liniois, respectively, Mr. Douglass not vo. tinir, andl a Senatoir from Arkanisas absent. To follow the bill, ho'wever, through all its devious windings to the tombt, would take up too much space at present, for mo. tions to amend, to postpone, &c. were oil'er oni all sides, and the ayes amid noes taker very frequently. The finishing. stroke wvas g'ven by a mo lion to re-consider tihe vote a hve stated, by which time Senate refused to strike out thec Celiforia sections. TIhe motion to re-con. sider, which was of~ered by Mr. Winthrop, prevailed, ami, after sonie time, thme mnotion' of Mr. Atchison, as originally offered, wae carriedl. 'The vote stood as follows, by tGuts: Ajlirmatzire. Missouri, Massachusetts, North-Carolina, Mississippi, Conniecticuti, L~ouisiana. South-Camrolinam, Virginia. Trennmessee, Florida, Georgia. Maryland, and Rhlode Island, Arkansas (I vote) Alabama, Vermont. Negatime. Maine, New Jersey, Indiana, WVisconm, Mlichmigan, Iowa, Kent ucky, Now Ilampshire, Pennusylvanaia, Illinois, D~el aware, Diided. New York, Ohio, Texas. It will thus he seen, that sixteen States wore for strikinag out, olevomi againat it, amnd biree divided. The section was accordinig Cy stricken out by a vote of thirty-four to weonty-five, aiid it is scarcely necessary for is to repeat thme list of names, which may me inferred from the above statement, when voe state that of the .thoo. 8tates whose rotes were dlivided, Messrs. 8eward, Ewing mud Rusk, voted wvith the majority.

Thus ended, and thus perished most de servedly,.-the greatest instance of legisla. tive jugglbry the world ever witnessed, perhaps-the most delusive and deceptive conglomeration of measures that were ever urged on a free people by persuasion and sweet names. It died simply because it was not fit to live, and not for want of any cate and nursing; on the contrary,. never was bantling niore tenderly of more sedul ously handled, and never, since the days of Macbeth's witches, has' a, cauldrom leen mixed full of more dissirailtt iigredients, or been stirred with mbre hearty goodwill. It has gone .thought and let those weep who have occasion--the Compromisers who have only conmpromised themselves, and the traitors.whoa ave lost the reward of their treason. 'Thus jiWsh all mea sures that would deceive and beguile a free people-that come with the "-bands of Esau and the voice of Jacob." Thus per ish all attempts to mingle to mingle togeth-. or oil and water by legislative hocus pocus, instead of sound Constitutional chemistry! On Thursday the Senate took up the, Bill reported by the Territorial Committee (Mr. Douglas Chairman,) for the admission of California as a State. Mr. Foote moved that 35dg. 30min. be the Southern boundary of the State, and af ter some discussion by Messrs. Dawson, Mason, Butler, THale, Clay, Dickinson, and Foote, the subject was postponed. The bill to provide a territorial govern ment for Utah (belhig all that was left of the Compromise after the severe elimination of Wednesday) was then taken up, received its third reading, and sent to the house. In the House several reports were pre sented, and among them a bill from the Committee on Naval atTirs, to provide a line of steamers for the coast of Africa for the purpose of suppressing the African slave trade, and protecting American commerce, which received two readings, and was re ferred to the Committee of the Whole. The Fortification bill was then taken up, when Mr. King, (of New-York) moved to strike out a clause appropriating $3,000 to preserve the site of Fort Moultrie, which motion was lost by vote of 11 to 104. UTAH.-When Mr. Clay, at an early pe riod of the debate, drew the aTecting pic ture of the unjust slight offered by -'tiss California," to Ahqr eider sister, Utah "cocking up her nose and refusing to asso ciate with that girl"-he little thodght how potent would be the influence of his affec ting appeal. The Cinderilla of the concern is the only passenger in the Omnibus that paused over the fatal bridg-ofyesterday. She, so long kept i the ackgfountd, and treated with cold'oster k 1 of that slow oach aind i' ent :ons iet. ens. Refusmg to incorporate th' Wilnot, proviso io her Constitution, and acting upon sound American principle-, she did not excite the sympathies of those so warmly solicitous for the irnmqdiate entrance of California and New Mexico, Which had en grafted that principle,-and lot the last laos ben made first.-Miss Utah trims in, wvhilo the others, like "Theo Peri, at the game Of Eden, utand diconsolai.". [ Southirn Press." The Benton and Foote DilHculty. The special committee appointed to inves tigate the particulars of the difficulty be tween Senators Foote and Benton 'made their report last Mionday. The committee, after recapitulating the particulars of the disgraceful scene, expresses the belief that Mr. Benton either intended to make a per sonal assault on Mr. Foote, or rushed to wvards him for the purpose of intimidating hinm. That his manner, coupled with his previous declarations, was certainly such as to justify Mir. Foote ini the belief thait the first was his intention, as it evidently did excite such apparehensions in the minds of many, if not most all, of the Senators who witness ed it. The report adds that Mr. Foote then left his seot, without advancing towvants Mr. Benton, hut in fact placing hnnself further frotn him, and though lie drewv a deadly weapon, ho did not present it, anid readily gave it up when demanded of him. No blow was struck-no shot tired-but it is assert ed there was imminent danger that the Senate chamber would be the .scene of a deadly and criminal encounter. The comn mittee add that they cannot too strongly condemn thme practice of wearing arias in thme Senate chamber. That Senators should re ly for defenace upon the Senate, whose high d uty it is .to protect its members from injury or insult, and wvhose practice should furnish a perfect guaranty of such protection. A different course wvould convert the halls of legislation into bloody arenas, and destroy the value, if not the existence, of the insti tut ions from which spring our glorv and our good. Trho report concludes as follows: "In the present case, under all circum stances, thme committee forbear to recon,' imend any action to the Senate. Tihey' hop,. thamt the strotng con~demation ot the person alities which led to threatened violence, their censure of the attempt, by a member, to avenge in the presence of the Senate, and of mihe practice of carrying arms in the Seni ate chamber, will be a suficient rebnke, and a warning not unheeded iri future. Should this hope prove vain, and sinmiliar scenes of violence again occur, they cannot doubt that the Senage will entforce prompt, stern, atid effectual penishment."
