Whereas, in the message of the President of the United States, at the opening of the eighteenth Congress, it was, among other things, avowed and proclaimed as the settied national policy of the United States, that "in the wars of the European Powers, in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy so to do that " with the movements in this hempisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected that" we owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicab'o relations existing between the United States and those Powers, to declare, that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere so dangorous to our peace and safety ; that" with the exis ting colonies or dependencies ofany European Power we have not interfered, and shall not interfere ; but with the Governments who have declared their independence, and maintained it, and whose independence we have on great consideration and on just principles acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purposn of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European Power, in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards iho United States;" and that * t is impossible, i here fore, that wo should behold such interposition, in any form, with indifference Resolved, therefore, That die President of the United States he requested to inform this House, if the same he not in his judg-1 mcni incompatible with the public mi. forest, what explanations the King of the French lias rendered to the United States in relation to the recent blockade of a parr ; of the coast of the Mexican Republic by \ France?the treatment of vessels of the United States, public or private, bv Uio j blockading squadron?the redaction ol the j castle of San Juan do UII a?and the ul- j tcrior views and designs of the French Gov-, emment respecting the Mexican Republic. ] Also, to inform the House whether he has j proffered to either of the contending par- j lies the meditation of the United Stales in i the premises ; and to communicate any cor. j respondenco, 011 the subjects aforesaid,; winch have may passed between the Gov., j cinmenf of the United States and that of Franco. 1 Mr. Adams rcsc and said : J( would be recollected that 011 the Glh December he had offered three resolutions, calling upon the President of the United Slates for certain information, and which, by the rule, were ordered to lie over one day. As nearly a 1 month h id elapsed, and no action had been J had on them, lie asked that they be now ak-n up and disposed of.

COXRALD. The objections to the consideration of the resolutions not having been withdrawn? Mr. Adams repeated that his ob. ject in having tin's letter reuJ was i to get the House to p.iss the icsolu- j boos at this time, it would be seen j ;hat the letter threatened the life of a mem- j ber of this House, for what he had done / and said here. As a privileged question, ! he had no motion to make, although it was ! in his power to do so, if he pleased. But be wished the House to act their pleasure on the letter. It threa'ened assassination oven in the presence of the House, and that within two days of tins time. Mr. Reed moved a suspension of the rulo for the purpose of taking up the said resolutions and asked the yeas and nays on that motion, (which were not ordered.) And the resolutions having been read, Mr. Thomas said he tie hoped that be., fore tne yeas and nays were ordered, some gentleman would rise end say that he re? garded this letter as something more than a miserable quiz. Mr. Dawson was understood to suggest that it could be nothing more than burlesque or quiz. Mr Robertson inquired if it would be in order to move a suspension of the rule, so su to consider the letter as well as the resolutions. The Speaker said that when the rules had been suspended, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Robertson) would then have it in his power to move an amendment, introducing the letter to the consideration of the House. Mr- Bcon moved to lay the motion to suspend the rule on the table. Mr. Reed demanded the yeas and nays Mr. Boon thereupon withdrew his motion. And the question then recurring on the motion to suspend the rule, 1 ? j i ? !j i The question was laKen ana ueciueu ui the negative without a division. So the rule was not suspended. Mr. Adams rose and said he would thank the Chair to return the assassinating letter to him. And it was returned accordingly. Mr. Stanly offered resolutions denying to Congress the constitutional power to interfere with slavery in the District of Columbia or States. Laid on the table, j Mr. Prentiss of Miss, offered a set of resolutions declairing a resolution adopted I by the House in February las! vacating his own sent and that of his colleague to he unconsti'utional. t( Mr. Wise offered a resolution to appoint v a committee of 9 members by ballot to in- |*< quire if there is sufficient ground to impeach u 1 Le 7i Woodburv, Secretary of the Treas!ur>" . .

There is naturally, much anxiety to ' it know what course our Senators will pur- j tc sue.

It is reported that Mr. j sj Edwards, of Warren, a distinguished Van Buren Sena or, in his Speech on the Rcso- j lutions (which i> grcateiy lauded by his poli- j tical friends) made a sort of pledge that, if, i, the Resolutions passed, they icould resign, j j Such too, we know, is the opinion of other i Administration gentlemen ; hut as Mr.!?
