Montrose, Feb. 1, '5O.
The report recently made by Mr. ?drench,
from the Committee on Foreign Affaire,traces
the several acquisitions by the United States
from the close of the Revolution—when they
had no Tertitors in the Gulf of Mexico,to the
present time=they now own all its shores,
except Mexico, together with a transit right
at Tehuantepec, in Mexico. The report esti
mates the present commerce in the'Gutf at
two hundred millions, independently of the
'coastwise trade between the Atlantic and
I Pacific, which, oecrosa at Tehuantepec. must
I press to the Gulf ; and expresses the opinion
i that in a few years the trade will amount to
five hundred millions. The questioneis asked
j whether those Nations which have for an
- adequate cuesideraion plated us ins positiorr
rendering the free use of the Gulf a, necessity
to us, can justly refuse any concessions
necessary to secure enjoyment.
The report shows from the position of Cuba
I in reference to the Gulf and the trade of our
I navigators, that it commands the trade of all
1 the Gulf ports just as completely as Louisi
ana does that of the Missi-sippi, and that it
lie as importabt to remove Spain 'tom Citha ,
now as it was to remove France from Louisi
ana,in 1803. It comments upon the action
and motives of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803,'
and contrasts with -it the uniform reluctance'
of Spain to make amicable territorial are.
rangemenss with us, while making no objec
tions to sell Territsfry to France and Eng
land. Louisiana and Florida were tratisfered I
and re-transferred , time and again , between
Spain, France and England, almost like a I
personal chattle ; but, when Florida became
necessary to ors, Spanish pride revolted, and
we could not buy it on any terms.
The teport cites certain acts pasted by I
Congress in tAlt and Iftl9. in .resent smaion. I

Mr. Bigler', ishstitiste was voted clown.
Mr. Hunter's' resolution was.adopted by a

Mr. Slidell thereupon offered , s resolution,
which was adopted, that it is the dety ofCon

business, there would . be sufficient revenue for
the purposes of the government.
Mr. Bigler,•-it is understood, spoke of. the
suffering industrial interesLs, and urged an . )
increase of the duties. fie said the. public
debt ass now sixty-four millious,and it would
be an hundred millions by the 30th of June,
1860, without the thirty millions proposed to
be added to the foreign intersoutse fund,
looking to the_purchase of Cuba.
Messrs. Todtabs, of Georgia, and Benjamin,
Of Louisiana, we're willing 40 • favor specific
duties an the peat staples, but against I
attempting anything at the present se-sion of I
Congress.
Mr. -Iverson, of
. Georgi.s•;f'a,:voreri an Ina! ease ,
of the tariff es ' absolutely necessary ; while
not favoring specific dui:1011e would be will
ling to give 30 per Centum .
Mr. Douglas, of lihnuis 'thought it was
imptrtsnt that the Democratic pdrty should
settle its policy as to whether it would favor
specific or ad valorem duties.
Mr. Hunter, of Viiginis, replied that all . ,
seemed to agree on the policy thst the tariff'
should be for revenue, but- that the mode ofl
assessing the duties was not a party test.
MriFitcli, of Indiana, acquiesced in this
view, remarking that the Senatorial • Demo- 1
cratic caucus while held for a conference, 1
never sought to bind men to vote for its
measures.
The result of the•caucus has caused much
excitement among the =Mbar, of Congress i
and otheis.
The rresideut will rtstieLly slend n
sage to Congress,early next week, showing a
deficiency of twenty millions, and urging the
necessary artangement to relieve the govern
ment . from the prnspective financial em
barrassment, reminding Congress . that, only
fbur weeks are remainiug_of the session.
The bills establishing Territorial Govern
ments for Arizona, Dacotah and Jefferson,
were introduced by Mr. Stephens in thellouse
on his own notice. They are not, therefute,
reports from the Cominittee on Territories,
though exactly similar to those agreed in the
eommittee excepting the itame of thelPlatte
River cotthrry,,Whicb in his bill he called Jef
ferson instead of Cc lona or Tohosa. As
adopted by the committee, Jefferson runs
from the one hundred and first degree to the
Rocky Meuntairer, abd trotil the foity-third
degree to the Mexican line. The object of
introducing the bills in this way was to hare
them printed, so that alien the Committee
on Territories is reached fit' the call, the bills
they printed can Ve pot on their pa.ssage, the

libprty, but was not unnoticed by the sheriff,
who grasped M. clothing and attempted to

standing upon the platform to bold fast to
one drawing upon-the ground; sci he released
his hold, and the prisoner fell, striking his
