Fire in Allegheny City.
On Taeaday morning, about one o'clock,
fire was discovered in the back part of the
grocery and Minor store of Mears. Dren
nan & Beismeyer, corner of Ohio and
Middle streets, Allegheny. The building
was a two story frame, and the flames
spread so rapidly that nothing whatever
was saved. _The stock was partially in
sured—there being a policy of $l,OOO in
the Girard Insurance Company. The
building belonged to Mr. John Benson,
and was not insured. The flames then
communicated to the grocery of Messrs.
John Moon* Co., adjoining, but most of
the stock had been removed. The build.
ing, also a two story frame, belonged to
Mr. Moon. and was left in ruins. He esti
mates his loss id $1,600, and has an imam.
anco of $1,200 in the Girard. A family
named Irwin, residing in the upper part of
Moon's building, lost nearly everything
they possessed. Another frame building,,
occupied by several poor families, and ad.,
joining that of Mr. Moon, was entirely
dectroyed, - .legether with nearly all the
household furniture. The house belonged
to a German named Charles Bapst, and
was insured. There was no insurance on
the furniture The fire originated from a
stove in the back pack part of Drennan &
lisismeger's store. The only engine on
the ground was the Neptune, with the
Columbia and America hose carriages; both
did good service in confining the flames,

place of Mr. Owsn.
On motion of Mr. Fessenden, of Maine,
the fortification bill was taken up.
Mr. Fessenden said be should call up
the Treasury Note bill and endeavor to
press it to a weedy passage.
The amendment of the committee, mak.
ing an appropriation of $550,000 for bar
bore of Maine in chef) ot a war being ho.
minent with a maritime power, was con
eidered,
Mr. Dixon, of Donn . was in favor of
the amendment, but did not like its phra
ecology, as it suggested that there might
be war with any maritime - Tower. Be
would strike out the clause reading, ' 4 lm.
minent danger of war with any maritime
power," so as to leave time of construct..
ing fortifications to the judgment of the
President, and the amendment was so
modified and adopted.
Mr. Nesmith, of Oregon, offered an
amendment to appropriate $lOO,OOO for
the construction of a fort at the month of
till Columbia river. Be said there was
not a iortification on the whole coast
and something of the kind was needed at
the mouth of the Columbia river.
We were finding new gold mines in that
region and it was expected next yea- to
ship a million of dollars per week from the I
mouth of the'. river
Mr. ifessenden, of Me., said this bill
Was entirely for the repair of old fortifi
cations and proposed no new ones. lithe
amendment of the Senator was modified,
however, so as t) require the fort to be
constructed if in the judgment of the
Pre-ident it was necessary, he would not
object. The amendment was so modified
and adopted.
Mr. hherman, of Ohio, moved to strike
out the whole and irsert instead t . iereo`,
for repairs to suctifortifications as public
service may require one million of dollars
and fir cJnstruction of such new works as
the public service may require one million
of dollars. It j,leted.
Mr. Sherman, of 03'0, moved as substi
tute for bill to appropriate one million for
the repairs of the existing fortifications
and two millions for works of defence on
the North fr , ntier in case of emergency,

WASHINGTON, February 11 —The Prem.
dent, to day transmitted to Congreet the
correspondence between Mr. Seward and
Dayton, relative to presentation of Ameri
cans at French curt. Mr. Seward in his
reply to Mr. Dayton, confesses to the opin
ion that an audience or presentation of any
but diplomatic persons at court is to be
regarded not in any degree as right of per
son reiterated but a courtesy extended to
him and that our Minister can properly,
in all cases give the occupation or prates-
Sion of any person who wishes such a
presentation, according to the conditions
prescribed by Imperial Court. The Secs
rotary cor eludes his instructions in the
following caustic language :
It is peculiarly uncomfortable at this
moment to tied American citizens leaving
their country a prey to faction and civil
war. disturbing the court of a friendly
power and embarrassing our representative
there with questions of personal interest
and pretension. Let tee Emperor and
Empress of France receive when they will
and as many or few as they will, and let
~11 others as well as those who are admit
ted turn their attention to the question
how they can serve their country abroad,
and if they find no better way to do it than
by making their attendance in the saloons
of the fuilleries, return home to a country
that now, for the first time, and not for a
long time, needs the activeefforls of every
one of its loyal children to save itself from
destruction. Finally, above all things,
have no question with the government of
France on this subject, Esther introduce
nobody, however justly distinguished, than
let a question of fashion or ceremony ap.
pear on the records of the important
period in which we are acting for the
highest interests of our country and of
humanity.
The Senate Finance Committee has
agreed on sundry amendments to the House
United States note bill, among which are
the following:
To strike out the declaration that the
authorization to issue $ 160 ,000,000 Treas.
ury notes is to meet the necessities cf the
Treasury and provide currency receivable
for public dues, and to Insert that the rates
shall be receivable In payment of all pub
lic dues and demands of every description,
and of all claims and demands against the
United States of every kind whatsoever,
except for interest upon bonds and notes
which shall be paid in coin, and shall be
lawful money, and a legal tender in pay.
ment of all debts, public and private
within the United States, except the
interest as aforesaid. The Committee also
propose new sections authorizing the Sec.
rotary to receive from any person or cor.
poration United States notes on deposit
for not less' thae thirty days, in sums not
less than $5OO with any of Assistant Treas.
urers or designated deposi;orles authorized
by the Secretary to receive them, who shall
issue therefor certificates of deposit bearing
interest at the rate of five per centum per
antum, the interest to cease at the pleas,
ure of the Secretary, ant the aggregate of
such deposits shall at no time exceed the
amount of $26,000,000, providing that all

of property seized and sold under the laws
of the United States as property of rebels
