FEBALD AND EXPOSITOR CONGRESS. Tredpesday Dec'r j,9.—ln the Senate Mr. Clayton preiented memorials relative to the French Spoliation claims and announce his in tention at an early day to call them up, and address the Senate on the subject He 'said that the records of the State Department silks the President to have been in error in assert ing thnt the claimants were paid under the treaty ceeding Louisiana to the United States. Mr,Jones of Tennessee, offered a resolution calling on the Secratary of the Navy for the proceedings of Naval Retiring Board, and the evidence on which they acted ; but, at the suggestion of Mr. Clayton, that it should is 6 discussed in secret session, the resolution was laid over, and the Senate went into executive session. The House again balloted unsuccess fully for a Speaker. Mr. Thornington with drew his Plurality resolution, hut announ ced his intention to renew it to day. A mo tion to elect a Speaker by ballot was lost by an overwhelmning vote. Mr Fuller defined his position to be for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise and in favor of the ad mission of Rainsas, with or without slavery. Thursday, Dec'r.2o.—ln the Senate, }ester day, Mr. Broadhead, from the Committee on Claims. submitted a report to the effect that all claims founded upon contracts with the Government, and which the claimants choose to prosecute before the Court of claims, be re• ferred to that court, which report was adop ted. The protest of members of the Illinois Legislature' against the election 6f Lyman Trumbull to the Senate, together with sonic ev. idence to the effect that Mr. Trumbull ceased to be a judge two years before he was elected to the Senate, was referred to the dominittee on the Judiciary. In the House, the ballot ing for Speaker was resumed. without effect. The sixty-seventh ball( t stood as follows : Banks, 104; Rigardson 73 ; Fuller 34; scat tering, 10. Mr Smith, of Alabama, then pro. posed a plan of electing the two most impir tont committees, those of Ways and Means find F6eign Affiiirs, members heir); take'n from the various parties, in proportion to their vote in the House, the Chairman to be selected by majority vote, and to preside al ternately over the ordinary business of the House, until the Speaker is elected. Objec • lion was made that the plan was a violation of the law of 1789. After much debate, the house adjourned without being able to elect a Speaker. Friday, Dec'r. 21.—1 n the House Mr. Gid dings rose to a privileged question denying that he used such a remark as was attributed to him by Mr. McMullen, namely, that the government should go into the hands of , the North, that the Abolition party would elect a President, and then thtl Union should and ought.to be dissolved. Mr. Giddings trusted that no one in the House would expect him to reply to that gentleman except in a case of palpable misrepresentation. Mr„ McMullen rose and with an excited manner asked, what does the member mean ? Does he suppose ho is capable of insulting any member on this floor? \Viten I am asSaile I by the contemptible mem ber from Ohio, I will defend myself here or, elsewhere. [Sensation.] I did not condemn the course of that member, told I have noth ing to take back. Mr. Cox resumedhis speech commenced yesterday, ethievoring to show that the Nati,mal American party could not unite on the election of speaker wi It the anti-Slavery agtitation party at _the North. Mr. Etheridge and various others interrupted for explana tions, when finally Mr. Cox concluded, after a speech of nearly three hours. Mr. Cobb, of Ga., followed in an exhortation to the llgin °orate to preserve their organization. Tiiey mild not join the Americans. Mr. Foster and others continued the debate The House adjourned 'without a ballot. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—The debate in . , the House to-day has widened the breaok between the friends of Messrs. Richardson and Fuller. Four or five of the supporters of Mr. Banks have privately decilared that, unless he shall bo elected within the next day or two, they will drop him, in the hope of diverting and concentrating the majority vote on some other gentleman not yet prominently named. Saturday', Deer. 22.—:The House again voted down a resolution to elect by plurality. The day was consumed in debate without any ballot. ILL-FEELING IN TUE CElMEA.—Kossuth says, in a letter to the Now York Times: 'I have the most positive information ti tat the Frouch and the English are on thewfvo possible terms in the Crimea. Neither men nor officers cultivate familiar intercourse.— The French trent the English with to orcili ony since tho Itedan affair; st us the English have treated the. Turks f om the beginning.' t fur flit WEDNESpiIf,'I)ECEMI3EII 26, 1855. The Washington papers give the following report of the debate in the House on Wednes day last, in which Mr. Fuller, of Pu. declared his position: - Mr. Fuller of Pennsylvania. I am not in the habit of being very much disturbed by what is said iSither for or against me; but, in asmuch as it was indicated this morning by one of my colleagues that my position is mid understood, I desire to avail myself of this op portunity, with the indulgence of the House fully and frankly to declare it, It is said that the difficulty which lays at the foundation of all our troubles here is tin oue question of slavery. I desire to declare hero that I am opposed to its present or fu ture agitation, and for the reason that, in my humble judgment, no possible good can result from it; that its discussion here must result, as it has always heretofore done, in evil and mischief—in creating popular discontent, indi- vidual distrust, sectional alienation and lids iron. I desire to leave the question of slavery just where the constitution has loft it, [ap plause]—with the people who tolerate it, who determine, control, and regulate for themselves. [Renewed applause.] I will not meddle or interfere with it. I would disturb no existing regulatipos. If it be an evil, it is their evil : if it be a blessing it is their blessing. I make no aggressions upon the rights or feelings of any .noin or of any section, nor will I submit to tiq , invasion of mine. [Applause.] I With regard to the past legislation of Con gress there is no difference of opinion. lam • frank to say that I support the .compromise measures of 1850, and had I held a seat here I should have opposed the legislation of the last Congress : and for the very reason that 1' am opposed to further agitation which can do no good, I am willing that the past shold bury its own dead. I desire to, unite with my fellow citizens every where in a patriotic effort to bring back this country to that state of good feeling and social harmony which once exist ! ed. and which ought never to have been dis turbed. 1 believe there can be no doubt as regards my sentiments upon this subject. If,, however, there be any, I am willing, to Stand up in this grand inquisition and submit my self to the grand inquisitor. [Laughter and applause.] Mr. Sherman Would you be willing to al low the institution of slavery to obtain an ad vantage or gain asceudancy by rejation of the repiod '6l - the Missouri couiproniise. Mr. Fuller.. I respectfully answer that I will leave it to the people vibe tolerate it. I say distinctly tl.at if Kansas 'presents herself for admission I shall . votti foi‘ her admission without reference to that question. [Loud applause.] . Mr. Sago. I desire to 'know .of the gentle man whether be is in favor at or against a res toration of the Missouri compromise ? . Mr. Fuller. I assort that Ido not seek to disturb that question. If the Missouri Com promise could be restored I should certainly be in favor of its restoration. 1 say I will not disturb it. Mr. Sage. I again put the question wheth• er the gentleman would vote for a restoration of the Missouri compromise line or whether he would oppose it ? Mr. Fuller. Whenever that or any other question shall arise In this body I shall vote according to my own convictions of duty.— [Applause.] Mr. Sage. The gentleman said that he held himself ready to answer any 'question which might be put to him. I put a question to him, and I leave it for the country to judge of the frankness of his answer. • Mr. Fuller. The gentleman is entirely at liberty to put questions to me, but ho must be content with what he gets in reply. [Cries of 'good' and 'call the rill Mr. Trafton. I wish to ask the gentleman a question which relates to the great doctrine of 'squatter sovereignty,' as allusion has been made to it. I desire to ask the gentle man whether, if Utah should seek admision into this Union with it constitution tolerating polygamy, he would vote for her admission with polygamy ? [Cries of 'call the roll.' . Mr. Todd. I desire to say, for myself and the colleagues with whom I have acted since the first day of the meeting of this body, that we came forward and voted for our colleague, Henry M. Fuller, under the impression and belief that he wit+ sound on the Nebraska question; and all that I desire to say now is to. put myself right before my constituents. Had I known that- my colleague entertained the sentiments which ho has avowed here to, day, my. right band should have withered 14- fore I would have supported him. [Loud ap• plauee.l Mr. Kelly then replied to the remarks of Mr. Whitney, and denied that the Know No thing party of the North was national in its feelings. The House then pioceeded to the sixty sixth vote for Speaker. Mr. Walker, when his name was called, ex• pressed a wish, before casting his vote, to ask of the gentleman from Pennsylvania .a single question, viz : Whether or not the gentleman from Pennsylvania would vote for the repeal of the Kansas and Nebraska not, or, jo employ the language of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Sage) would vote for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise line Mr. Fuller: I have already said that if I had, been a member of- the last Congress I should have voted against the Territorial legislation then enacted; but I am willing now to abide by the laws as they are, and, reale- ,:i , t, ii i . ,. 1,-,,. . - ;( ' -,) '..- ..: , V, '. e A lil ~ ta w ,:, mo zi o' -_- *. 1 ..1; '. .:, ' . • ii. ~.., T ~ 1. -4 • ill evi .rt ' e4 "' " 1 ‘' 1 t • , : :::. s : '. f; , i ogefilt s 4:`.ek : o''' \-..,4, 'CI ;I> .7 ..

[Great applause ] And now, fellow citizens, one moment more of your indulgence. I have been charged with being an obstacle in the way"bf the organiza tion of this (louse. My position, humble as it is, has been magnified into this importance. I have never desired and do not now expect an election. I have nevcr asked for nor de clined ft. I have given no pledges to obtain it. Thankful, grateful indeed I ant for the ex pressions of confidence and of kindness which 1 have received; but 1 Fhould be vastly .more pleased if the suffrages. I have obtained should be given for an abler and a worthter man. END OF TIRE 'VAR. The storm in Kansas has blown over, says the North American, and our readers, wo doubt Dot, will share the pleasure we feel in announcing the fact. The mob gathered from the border counties of Missouri. under pretext of eVorcing the odious laws of the Legislature had fixed on the 9th inst. for the assault upon Lawrence, but the Governor was not with the torces he had evoked, and they, though far outnumboing the defenders of the city, did not feel themselves strung enough to attack, without large reinforcements. Late accounts. how Lexington say that forty,of the men who went from Jackson county, Mu , to attack the town, had deserted, and, as this comes from the leaders of the assailants, it itt.' no doubt en rect. A telegraphic despatch which will be found our columns to-day, 111111 ounces the compromise 4r the difficulties, and the return of the Mob to Missouri. ',here is some good in all things, and so there is in this Kansas war. At the very out set the Governor found out that it was by no means so easy a matter as he had supposed to get the aid of the United .States troops in hiB nefarious schemes. The' alarming des patches which he sent eastward for the pur pose of taking the President by surprise, fail ed of their purpose, and it is not at all probable that the end will be .his own rejec tion by the Senate. In the next place, the courage of the borderers has at last been brought to a practical test. They have been so long blustering of their anxiety for a fight, that every body belieyed them perfect' fire eaters the first chance of a genuine struggle they have blenched. In the rescue of lirnusoVt; the opposing-parties , were exactly equal in numbers, ,ftnd the blusterers who had only a few minutes before been regretting that they missed a fight early in the day, in continently gave up their prisoner, and sneak• ed off for the aid of the ten thousand men in 'buckram, promised to Sheriff Junes by the Governor. To overwhelm the fouK, , hundred and fifty men in Lawrence, some two or three thousand Missourians sally forth with mus kets and cannons, but no sooner do they ar rive in Night of the devoted town they are going to demolish, than they began to desert and talk about waiting 4or reinforcements. These incipient struggles only serve to develupe the dangers which threaten popular sovereignty in the territory, and to enable the settlers to provide against all emergencies. The pre eat trouble was evidently the work of deliberate design on the pert of Shannon, At chison, and Stringfellow, and though it is terrible infliction upon the people of the terri• tory it will accomplish good in the end. SErLINDEYannr, the celebrated grama rian,was born in 1745, within the present limits of Lebanon county. in this State, in East Hanover township, on the Swatara, then in Lancaster county. His father was origi nally a miller, but subseque,ntly• became a merchant. Lindley studied la v, and practiced in New York. He subsequently removed to England, where he lived torty-two years, and died in Yorkshire, aged upwards of 80. His grammar was first published in 1705, He was a Quaker, and had the singular reputation in New,York of .an honest lawyer.' SW- e secon trig of Arrison, t 'infer nal machine' prisoner, is still in progress at Cincinnati. Some evidence not brought out on the first trial, elicited. A witness named John Wir fibs that one day, but a short time he explosion cper haps two week! i came into Mr Fletcher's gun al eked to have Con structed a machit mltl go into 'a box and explode when Mr. IV. remarked at the time to Mr. r, 'he wants an in fernal machine to blow somebody to hell,' whereupon theidefendant immediately left the shop. Henry Fletcher, the gentleman alluded to above also gave in his testimony corrobor ting that of Winters. . President Pierce, for, fear the press shall get hold of a copy of the ;Message in advance of its delivery to Congress, has, so it is said, di rected that printers, with their oases, typo's, &o. be sent to the White House, whore, find whore only the message is to be put id type. ger The Newark Mercury takes strong ground against the nomination of Mr, Fillmore, and says that it Would prevent a Union of the Republican with the American branch of the opposition. STILL LATER PROM EUROPE RUMORS CONCERNING PEACE The R M. steamship Asia, from Liverpool on the Bth inst., arrived at Boston on Wednes day afternoon the 18th. The news by this arrlval consists mainly of peace rumors, but the public had no means of estimating their truth, and they are probably .f little value. It is a very noticeable circum stance that the assertions of the British press a n the subject of negotiations are quite at variance with those of mllu'ential continental pa CI'S. NO. 17. The London Times, and Disraeli's organ, the London Press, are prominent in asserting that peace is near at hand, and that Austria is about to address an ultimatum, summoning Russia, under the threat of breaking off nego tiations with her, to accept those conditions of Once which they will not assent to after anti other successful campaign. ' The Berlin correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle, under date of the 4th inst.., says: 'lt is impossible to Separate what is true front what is false in the peace rumors. It is no doubt, true that all the Cabinets are anxious for peace; but it is equally,true that it cannot he said that negotkttions are going forward—at the utmost, preparatory steps only are being made. Austria maintains the validity of the treaty of December 2d, and all the attempts of other German States to exer cise a pressure on the Western Powers, with view to paci fi cation, have been completelY paralyzed. Austria, moreover, is now ready to accept the interpretation given to the third of the tour Vienna Conference points. Prussic' las urgently demanded at St. Petersburg that Russia should name the conditions to which die i- ready to submit. Russia's reply to this temand of Prussia is ittlirmed to be conoili ttory, but vague. The Cabinet at St. Peters •iurg shrinks from the cdifficulty of making I ,roposals that it may have the mortification to •ee rejected. Some undertake to say that Om , will be arranged between Napoleon and the King of Sardinia with respect,,to Italy that will render oeace impossible for years to come; others; that Napoleon is tired of, the expenses of the war, and really desires peace. Meanwhile, continued preparations, on the largest scale, go forward for the spring campaign Private letters from St. Petersburg indicate no pressure fur peace, The St. Petersburg,. Northern Bee hits an editorial headed •The war is only beginning.' and declares that Rus sia has ample resources to continue the war 6.r years. The London Times has a reply to the lice, asserting that this boasting merely betrays weakness. The Times' correspondent writes from the camp before Sebastopol, November, 24, saying here is really nothing to write about, as no - thing really has occurred. Very little firing is exchanged between the North and South sides. The Russian works on the North side of Se bastopol were rapidly assuming gigantic di. mensions. Preparations for destroying the docks are nearly completed. The bulk of the Russian nrmy has returned to its former position. The French have been reinforced by the arrival of 12,000 troops.— Tle English and Sardinians have also been re intorced Considerable, additions continued at the same time to be made to the RußsOn forces. The Russians continue to threaten Kertch, which has been largely reinforced. A despatch front the Baltic, dated the 6th, states that the united squadron, under Ad miral Dundee, was then passing the Belt, home ward. A Russian Grand Council of War is to be held at St. Petersburg, to settle a plan for the defence of the coast from the Gulf of Bo thynia to the southern extremity of Valltynia, iu Asia. There is an unconfirmed rumor that the Russians have taken Kars. DEATH AND VANITY.-The St Louis Herald of Wednesday says:—.S.ome of our fashionable ladies, owing to an excess of vanity, in order to give tone and permanency to their com plexion, or,. as they say, 'to improve their complexion,' are in the habit of taking arsenic in small doses. Within the past week two ladies,of this city, members of wealthy fami lies, and ladies of fashion, have died very suddenly. Their nearest friends and relatives say that they were 'arsenic eaters;' but in order to guard against scandal, the real cause of their death has not been made public.— However, those same persons do not hesitate to say privately that an over dose of arsenic was the real cause of their death. BIBLE BURNING.-A great excitement was recently produced in Kingston, Ireland, by a most revolting and atrocious scene enacted by the 'Redemptorist Fathers,' a body of live or six Roman Cattlelid clergymen, who it seems, niter celebratieg mass and preaching in the chapel of that place, brought their mission to a conclusion by presiding it the burning, 'within a.few feet of the publio thoroughfare, of a large pile of Bibles, &0., which they had ordered their audiences to collect'for the-pur pose. The pile consisted principally of Bibles, but not exclusively—the orders of the Re demptorists having been for the collection of bad books generally, and the Bible, hi their estimation, the worst of books for the peo ple to readl EMIQIZATION SOUTHWARD.- —A large -party of aersons are about to remove from Boston to leorgia; where they have purchased a fine rut of land which inoludes a good water . .ower, ready for immediate !Me. They pro iose to build a manufacturing town, which hall soon become a City; and carrying with ;tom, as they will, New England energy, in °unity and aptitude for thrift, they can ardlyfall short of full'suecess. They propose, ,'i take out quite a number of now and prac.tt ' working maohines,•snil , ut once establish and trade ai well as agriculture. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.
