When my despatch per Telegraph was made up to-day, Mr. Cass was addressing the Senate on lhe Oregon jurisdiction bill, in reply to the speech made previously by Mr. Uenton. Air. Cass brought forward various author, ilies to prove that neither the line of 4J nor any other line, was established be-t-vcen the French and English possessions in lhe North West Territory by Commissioners under the Treaty of Utrecht. He produced four ancient statements as to the course of the line, neither of which corresponded with Iluchins' history, produced and relied upon by Mr. Centon. He called upon Mr. Benton to produce the record of ihe Commissioners, if they had established the boundary line. It could not, he said, be produced, because it did not exist.

As to claiming t.i 51 5 40', he said we

in every

particular, and that his recollection was clear i n J distinct in reg nil to every iiein of expenditure and what it w as f.ir. He re uenibered and explaine 1 somethings creditable to Mr. Webster which had escaped the latier's recolli-ciion. One witness has testified thalMr.IngerM.il did urge him, as the fiiend of Mr. Tyler, to write and urge the ex president to come out in this ma'ter against Mr. Webster.

The loss sustained in this gallant affair is alone proof of the daring intrepidity of the squadron engaged, whose leader, (May,) by-the-by, cleared the enemy's breastwork ten yards in advance of his troop. He was mounted on his favorite old charger Tom, (wounded in this affair) known to many officers of the army as having borne him successfully through numerous fights and skirmishes in the Florida campaign. This, 1 believe was ihe horse on which he led the charge on the camp of Phiilip, the head chief ofthe Seminoles, on which occasion il will be recollected that Captain (then Lieut.)
