Froin the London Times, 16th inst. United States and Portugal. It is a natural, though an indirect, conse quence of the mode of proceeding recently employed by Lord Pahnerston to enforce certain claims against the Greek govern ment; that innumerable other claims, not more doubtful in principle or exaggerated in amount than those of Don Pacifico, have started into life, and that other States have 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 peremptory ultimatum, backed by the pre. senco of a naval squadron, is a startling in stance of the facility with which such pre cedents are followed; for not many years ago a late American Secretary of State had himself declared to the claioiants, that ar. gunients and importunity having blen ex hansted, the American (overmnent could see Nothing in the circumstances to justify or warrant it in having recourse to any otli er weapons." Subseiiuently to the ittelli gence of Mr.Wyse's demands on time Greek government having reached \Vashington, it would seem that General Taylor and his Cabinet have renounced this forbearance, and Lisbonis accordingly menared atter the exampe of the 'ireus. It is a curious coincidence that the 'or tuguese government should have played an Indirect part in the principal quares on at Athens as the original debtor of Pacific(), and that it should now be held liable to the American Government for d;nages uccas 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 wili which we have re cently had occasion to deal. On the t5t hi of September, 181-1, during the last war be twcen Great Britain and the aini ed Statoes, an American armned privateer, the "'GeneraI Armstrong," Captam Reitdm cotnomadme*, entered the neutral Portuguese hairbotr ut Fayal to water. lie was followed, tbohIt not actually chased, by the British vtssels of war Plantagenet, 71; Rota, :H, a'tt the Carnation brig, and Captain Iteid ordered his vessel to be warped in shore under the guns of the castle for safety. II the course of the evening a violation of the netra hty of the port of -'ayal undoubtedly orurrei. The American captain swore thnt. tour anmed boats from the irit-h vessels were aipproaching his ship, and adttit. tliat he, suspectinig their intentions, warn' them ofTand then fired upon thoet. k llint :tand wottnding some of their mot. Tl'im bts were said to have returned the tire with eihet, (though that assertion was contra dicted, as in fact they were not arimed at all,) but subsequently wore oil' to the ships, whence they returned at midmght with a powerful reinforcement, and a severe ac tion ensued, in which the "General Arum strong" was at lengtii raptured andi de. stroved by the British. So that even hr this American version of the story, it wa's Captain Reid who first violated the neut ral. ity of tlid poi-t. The allidavit of the British olicer shows, however, that the boat tired upon by the Americans was mnarmied, and was sent in merely to miake impiiri's, in spitq of which it was brutally at tatcke'd by Captain Reid's orders. lowrever this miav he, lik'e many similar oecurrences in tie heat and chances of war, the ensuing treaty jtf peace put an end to all discussion as be tween'tlie belligerent powers, but it is not a little unjist that thirty-six years after. wards such a case as this should be made a ground of complaint and hostility against the neutral. The Anicricans aliege that the Portugese Governor ought to have as serted and enforced the tneuitrahity of the harbor of Fayal, although hie hail'but one hundred inhantrny and eight art ilierv' tmen in a castle withi ruined deence'is; and that, is the Gioverntor ofm Faval failed to gite ti the' Atmericani privateer thle proitect ioni of a nieui tral harbor, Port ugal must pay for thle de strtuction of that vessel a sumr wich, at'. cording to the P'acitic s'cilhe of ca lcuLit ion, is nodestly laid at 20t),000 dolhars. There unidoutedly was in tis case a violation of neut raiity, thouotgh it is d sputed whether' that violat in was tirst coiuit.tedoi by the Biritish boats untder I aeut. 1"wetit or hy thle Atmericani privatet' in the ha rbior.

From the Columbia Telegraph. The Compromise Vote. California seems so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of disorganization, that even a vote on the question cannot be taken with out some confusion or disturbance. Wed. nesday last-the day on which the Conpro mise received its quietus-was according ly marked by considerable "noise and con fusion," and it is utterly impossible for us to give in our limited space, a sketch even of 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 our 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 hint. After some discussion and sundry propositions, Mr. Pearce modified his mo tion, by ffering 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.

Thus ended, and thus perished most de servedly,-the greatest instance of legisla tive jugglery 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 care and nursing; on the contrary, never was bantling mtore tenderly or more sedul ously handled, and never, since the days of Macbeth's witches, has a cauldrom been mixed full of more dissimilar ingredients, or been stirred with more hearty good will. It has gone though, and let those weep who have occasion-the Compromisers who have only compromised themselves, and the traitors who have lost the reward of their treason. Thus pdrish all mea sures that would deceive and beguile a free people-that come with the "hands of Esau and the voice of Jacob." Thus per ish all attempts to mingle to mingle togeth er 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 35.dg. 30min. be the Southern boundary of the State, and af ter some discussion by Messrs. Dawson, Mason, Butler, Hlale, Clay, Dickinson, and Foote, the subject was postponed. The bill to provide a territorial govern ment for Utah (being 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 Hlouse. In the Hlouse several reports were pre sented, and among them a bill from the Committee on Naval atlhirs, to provide a line of steamers for the coast of Africa for the purpose of suppres.ing the A frican slave trade, and protecting American comamerce, which received two readings, and was re ferred to the Comanittee of the Whole. The Fortification bill was then taken up, when Mr. King, (of New-York) moved to strike out a clause appropriating .3.00( to preserve the site of Fort Monltrie, which motion was lost by vote of I 1 to 104. U-r.Ti.--When )r. Clay, at an early pe. riod of the debate, drew the athcting' pic ture of the unjust slight oflered by 'Miss California," to her eider sister, Utah "cocking up her nose and refusing to asso pate with that girl"-he little thought how potent would be the influence of his alfec tiog appeal.
