THE MANDARIN AND’THE ENO-
LlSfl LADY. '
'l'he degraded position of females in Chi.
ntt is well known. Nothing astonishes the
Chinumen who visit our merchants at
lionltong so much as the deference which
is paid by our countrymen to their ladies,
and the position which the latter urc per
mitted to hold in secrety. The very ser
vants express tltetr dregust at seeing our
ladies permitted to sit at table with their
lords. and wonder how men can so far for
get their dignity. A young English mer
chant recently took his youthful wife with
hurt to Honltong. where the couple uere
visited _by a wealthy Mandarin. The lat
ter regarded the lady attentively, and seem
ed to dwell with delight on her movements.
When she at length left the apartment. he i
saidte the husband. in his imperfect Eng
lish.) What you give for that wifey wife ‘
yours?‘ ‘ oh.’ replied the husband. laugh
ing at the singular error of his visitor. ‘ two
thousand dollsrs.’ This our merchant
thought. would appear to the Chineserath
er a high figure, but he was mistaken.—

- ‘ Waning-row. Jan. 26.1846.
A most important debate took-«place in
the Senate to-tlay. on the proposition 0!
Mr. Allen to taken» the motion by which
the Senate laid on the table the motion to
grant him leave to introduce hie leeolu
tiunrdcclaretory oi the principles which
will govern this country in releren‘co to
the interference 'ol European governments
in the poiitiul aflaite oi the independent
nations on- the American continent. -.
Mr. Allen referred to the notice which
he hnd'given of his intention to ask the
Senate to take up the motion on Friday,
which he had been prevented from- doing
by the adjnui'nme‘nt to Monday. He there
lere embraced this occasion to accomplish
the‘ohject then contemplated.‘ .
Mr. Bagby said that the motion it np.
peered to-him. was one ol those impalpa
hie sort of. things, which cannot be laid
on the table or taken from the table, and
inquiied whether the motion would carry
the reaolutiuns-with it.
'lthe Vice President—Nothing but the
motlonl
Mr. Baaby had no doubt that leave to
withdraw the resolutions should be grunt
ed, and shoutd vote lou the motion to‘ take
up.
After 1: few explanatory remarks immi
Messrs. Mungum and Speight, and Citnl-‘
mera. the question, on the motion; was ta-i
ken hy yeas and naya. and decided in the i
uiiirmative, 23 to 2|.
The Vice President istated the question
now before the Senate to be whether the
Senator from Ohio should havo leave to
introduce his resolutions.
Mr. Cass said that when the proposition
was brought forward, he had intended to
aubtntt some remarks on the subject but
had been‘pnecluded from so doing by the
action of the Senate in laying: the motion
to grant leave on the table. The Senator
irotn South Carolina. “hose experience
erititles- his views on all parliamentary
questions to great consideration. had ex’
pressed the opinion that the 'courae oi the
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations. (Mr. 'Allcn,) in iotrodticihg
these resolutions without cunauitotioa )vith
the other members of that_Committee.
had exhibited a want 0! respect ior'thal
Committee. But in his View, the Senator
lost none ot‘his rights as ammember of that
body, by being placed at the head nt the
committee. lie had the same right as any
other Senator, to bring iorwnrd such mea
sures as be deemed the publicinterest and
the safety ofthc country required. These
are questions demanding the solemn con
stderutiou ol the Senate, and should not
be lightly passed over. There had been
on want nl courtesy on the port of the
chairman oi the committee; He hod ata~
ted to the committee hi 4 intention to in
troduce the resolution; and he. (General
Cans.) lolly concurred in the object inten
ded, though he did not wish to commit the
Senate to any particular tnrtn ot express
ion in phraseutogy. Such also, he hind
understood to be the vivws oi the chat:-
man of the Committee on Foreign Rela~
tinns. The question would be open to
suggestions from any Senatnrgnnd he con
sidered that no subject would be here in
troduced. by any Senator. which was not
wnrthy of a word of consideration. ‘
The present was a question 0! too much
importance to be thrown unceremonious~
ty under the table. The interests at the
whole American continent were included
in the proposition. It was put forward by
Mr, Monroe mnre than twenty years
rinct‘, at a time when the distinguiahcdl
Senatov from South Carolina occupied n'
neat'in the cabinet. He had 'no doubt the
gentleman them and-an there had been no
response from Congress he deemed it im»
porlant' that ‘the't‘ie'wo of"'this‘ eouhtry
should‘bc'distinctty underdtood by Euro
pean goVerhmentl. ‘ ' , ‘' E
The Engtiah'Jnurnn‘ls seem to suppo’se
that the object ofth'e President is to divest
the governments‘ot'Eurone“of"their cold-t
nies on this cuntincnt. 1‘ It‘Wus‘,:n strangel

One povtion nl'the rile-ct has ‘nlrcri'dy beenl
prmluced. They have been conveyed to
every rection oi the Unionhnd to Eurupe
also. What is to be the cfléct'ol‘n reluaal
m sustain the declaration oi the President?
That the Senate do "(it concur ‘in the
views ol 'the President, will 'not be the
less rcndily-beliéved, b'ec'nus'e tlie' resolu
tions are not rejected; England 'ought to
be the laat'iu whom‘ ne'should' induce'u
doubt as to thi: principle—a principle
which seeks to‘ repel a doctrine brought
farwa‘rd with a View to thc‘colouization oi
the South American Republica.. And'in
the further diacuelion ol this queution. he
hoped the honorable Senator rmm South
Carolina. who holds in hishondi the orig
inal debate in; Congress. will» produce it,
that the view: there entertained be fully
know'n.
Mr. Cass then referred to the remarks
ol Mr. Guiznt. as to the necessity of pre
serving the balance of povrer. This hal
snce at power he (Mr. Can) said in prin
ciple which has deluged Europe In blood,
and destroyed the first‘gorm ol freedom
wherevertlisplayed. lts eflects on the no
tions 0! Europe during the last quarter of
s century were ttdrertcd to. It words 0”
the first instinct of nature where she nt
tempts to improve- the condition of man, i
and has enabled five nations to govern the
other portion 0! Europe; and to infuse new
principles into the cotle ol nations. The
consequences to tree institutione,unless
the declaration of the President’s Message
be sustained. were eloquently described.
The proposition. said Mr C. was to
present the resolutions tn'the Senate. thht
they may he referred to the‘Cnmmittee an
Forcign‘Relationi. 'l'hts w'trs afsir sub
ject for the consideration of the Sentim—
W‘e propuso‘tu serve England with o no
tice. which may ultimately be a notice to
quit. and he considered this a protest or
'gsinst loreign interlerettcc. It tella~the
; world that we do trot recognize the princt
ple of foreign colonization on this contin
ent, and our disapprobst‘ton 0! any inter
lerence with the political‘amtirs-ol the in
dependent nations'on' this continent. In
carrying'out these views. we mun be gov
erned hy the force ol circumstances. One
of the strangest and most flagrant tioln
tioos oi the law of nations nowexisted in
the course pursued by England toWards
Burnns Ayn-s! It was a‘ poor excuse. to
conceal her real design to es'sbliyhn pow
or by which she may ge't possession of one
of themnst fertilc portions ot the Ameri
can continent.
Mr. Puik': declaration will be as barren
as that of Mr. Monroe. unless respundrd
