DKBTOF FRANCE.—The London Times gives a tabular statement of the French National Debt, and its increase since Louis Phillippe's accession, which is 910,000,000f. For the loan of 250,000,000f contracted for last November by Rothschilds 76 25-100fwas their bid,and only 20 per cent has yet been paid. The fall to 45 a 47 of course absorbed this payment, and left the Government without security for ten per cent, besides so thatjsecurity was required and taken of Rothschild in deposit of a large amount in Rents to guarantee the punctual monthly payments. Besides this loan of 250,000,000f, considerable amounts were borrowed in 1837 by the municipalities of Paris and other principal cities during the distress for bread and provisions.— The whole capital of the French National Debt is stated to be £200,000,000, and its Treasury N^uas had not been met since the revolution of Feb. 25. £30,000,000 have been invested in railway, enterprises, of which a large portion came from England. About ten millions betides wifl be required to finish them.

LATK AND INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.

The late N. Orleans papers contain in trrMting news from Mexico. Some ex tracts from the "Delta** will lie found in another column. From several sources we have accounts of proceedings before the Court of Inquiry, in the cases of Scott, Worth, Pillow and Duncan. General Worth withdrew his charges against General Scott, the rharges against Duncan were also withdrawn, and the trial of Gen. Pillow was progressing.

The miscellaneous news is also interesting. The ratification of the Treaty of Peace was confidently anticipated.— {ten. Scott and Mr. Trim were to leave for the Tnited States the 55th of March. Fifty deputies were at Queretaro, the 17thof March, and fifteen others at the city of Mexico# about leaving for the of Government.

This wealthy individual died in New

York a few days since. He was in his eighty-fifth year at the time of his decease. He was the fifth among the rich men of his age; Baron Rothschild, Louis

Phillippe, the Duke of Devonshire, and Sir Robert Peel only exceeding him.— He leaves property valued at <forty mil lions> of dollars, the largest amount of which, it is supposed, he has willed to his son William B. Astor.

Mr. Astor was in the habit of converting two-thirds of his annual gains into real estate, not one foot of which did he ever mortgage. He estimates of the value of his property are various. Those knowing his affairs best, placing it at $30,000,000 and some as high even as $0,000,000. His income on a moder-

ate estimate must have been of late, $2,

I have the honor to remain, with high respect, sir, your obedient servant, WINFIELD SCOTT.

To the Hon. Secretary of War. On which the Editors of the Courier and Enquirer make the following striking commentaries:

General Scott, in the brief letter that we publish this morning, says: "My poor services with thi.« most gallant army are at length to be requited as I have long been l«i to expect they would he." It is impossible not to be touched at this sad yet not unmanly complaint of the requital of his great and glorious achievements for lus country, had received from ius rulers. He had indeed, foreseen it from the beginning, and had accurately predicted it, in the lettere he wrote to the Secretary long before he took his departure for the seat of*war—letters which will hereafter be justly regarded as ammg the most remarkable ever written,for sagacity,

frankness and truth. Every stepof his subsequent the domestic affairs of other countries career has proved the accuracy of his foresight, and the soundness of his judgment. and the history of hi* campaign was foreshadowed almost as accurately in the letters he wrote before his departure, as in the reports that announced his deeds.

We haveno fear that Gen. Scott's reputation will suffer from the extraordinary treatment he has received from the Administration nor can the injastice ho has experienced, the hnrsh return with which his transcendant services have been repaid, be concealed from the knowledge or the indignation ot the people, bjr any web of sophistry which the most audacious ingenuity can weave,

CONGRESS. In the House of Representatives, on Saturday, the 3d instant, after some un important business, a message was received from the President of the United States, which read as follows: To the Senate and

House of Representatives:

I communicate to Congress for their information, a copy of a dispatch with the accompanying documents, received at the Department of State, from the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, at Paris, giving official information of the overthrow of the French monarchy, and the establishment in its stead of a Provisional Government, based on republican principles.

This great event occurred suddenly, and was accomplished almost without bloodshed. The world has seldom witnessed a more interesting and sublime spectacle, than the peaceful rising of the French people, resolved to secure for themselves enlarged liberty, and to assert in the majesty of their strength,

the great truth that, in this enlightened

self. The prompt recognition of the new nt, by the Representative of ited States at the French Court, meets my full and unqualified approbation, and he has been authorised, in a suitable manner to make known this fact to the constituted authorities of the French Republic.

Called upon to act upon a sudden emergency, which could not have been anticipated by his instructions, he judged rightly of the feelings and sentiments of his Government, and of his countrymen, when in advance of the diplomatic representatives of other countries, he was the first to recognize, so far as it was in! his power, the free government lished by the French people.

SENATE

WASHINGTON, March 30

Mr. Hale presented a petition for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia^ Also, a memorial from Erie county, N. Y., declaring that slavery never had any constitutional existence in the United States, and praying Congress to investigate the subject. Also, a similar memorial from $cw York, and praythg that Congress may, in any event, report its opinion on the subject. A motipn jo refer the latfer to tjje judiciary ^eMiinitiee, w^ |os|, 7| to 23. If 4 A motion wasf made to* rdffer toHhfc committee on Foreign Relations thtf resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Allen, tendering the congratulations of this country to France, on the establishment there of a Republican government.

Mr. Allen said he had no particular feelings in reference to this motion. Nor did he know that it would make any particular difference whether it was so referred, or retained for the consideration of the Senate. He did not know what were the individual opinions of that committee but he did not think this a resolution—embracing, as it did, an isolated question, of a character to render the reference to a standing comipittee necessary. •,

Whon a certain resolution of an honorable Senator, relative to Mexico, was introduced here, he (Mr. A.) had considered it most wise, most circumspect, most judicious, in view of the relations in which the country then stood towards Mexico—to move its reference to the committee on Foreign Relations. The motion had been resisted by the Senator who introduced the resolution, as unnecessary, and evincing a spirit of hostility to the objects of the resolution* He

fix a day for the consideration of the resolution. Mr. Hale proposed an amendment, to come in at the close of Mr. Allen's resolution, as he wished, he said, that the resolution should contain something tangible—should express something definite. The amendment proposed to congratulate the French on the measures taken by the new government for the immediate emancipation of the slaves throughout France and her colonies. 1

Mr. Downes opposed the reference of the resolution to the committee on For-

e'Bn

age, man is capable of governing him- though for difierent reasons. Mr. Calhoun entirely concurred in the sentiments of the resolution introduced by the Senator from Ohio, (Mr. Allen) and thought that the Senate were as well qualified as the committee to judge of its character. But the time, he proceeded to argue, had not arrived for the adoption of such a resolution 'of congratulation.

Relations, and so also did Mr. Hale,

Much remained yet to be done. If the French people were as successful in forming a republican constitution—in establishing a republican government—as they had been in demolishing the old one—they would, then be entitled, not only to the congratulations of this government, but of the whole civilized

But events might grow out of this rev olution, which might ultimately place France in the arms of military despot ism. We should wait until we see what is to be the end of all this. He had never before known a case which required from us more serious, deliberate consideration.

Whether France succeeded or not would, in his opinion, depend greatly upon whether she will have the moderation and good sense not to interfere in the affairs of the nations around her. He trusted, also, that the people of these other governments would look on and not interfere with France. It would then be seen whether she is prepared for a republican government. 'W

If she succeeded, it would do more towards crumbling the thrones of Europe —to establish liberal principles throughout the world—than any other movement which had ever been made. But if she fails, it will do more injury to the cause of human liberty in Europe than all the efforts of political despotism.

He thought the wise course was to lay this resolution on the table, on the sole ground that its adoption would be premature. Jie moved accordingly to lay tho resolution on the table.

On this motion Mr. Dickinson asked the yeas and nays, which were ordered. YKAS—Messrs. Bagby, Baldwin, Benton, Berrien, Butler, Calhoun, Davis, of Miss., Dayton, Hunfer, Mangum, Miller, Phelps, llpham, Yulee—14. ir^i

NAYS—Messrs. Allen. Ashley, Atchison, Atherton, Bradbury, Cass, Clayton, Crittenden, Davis, of Mass., Dickinson, Dix, Douglass, Down*, Felch, Foote, Halo, Hannegan, Houstoh, Johnson, of Md., Johnson, of La., Lewis, Moor, Niles, Rusk, Spruance, Turney, Underwood, Westcott—28. 'M wit .1 wti

Mr. Allen, after a feWfenlarks, moved to make the resolution the special order for the first Monday in May.

Mr. Underwood said, that though he concurred entirely in the views expressed by the Senator from South Carolina, he had voted against his motion to lav the resolution on the table because he did not wish to be placed in a false position. Improper inferences might be drawn as to the motives of Senatora on that side of the chamber.

His own heart, he said, waa with the people of France in this struggle. It had been with tho people of Europe in all their efforts to dethrone tnonarchs and establish republican governments. But it must be admitted that all efforts heretofore had signally failed. And it was for this reason that he heartily con curred with the Senator from South Carolina in the wisdom and propriety of seeing the result of this great move ment, before adopting any expressions of congratulation. Th£ first of May would be too early for the consideration of this resolution the result would not then be known, and'he therefore moved to strike out 1|$ Jlay, and insert 1st June., J,,

Mr. Douglass regretted that the Senator from Ohio had proposed to postpone the consideration of this resolution even to the 1st of May. It was not to be supposed that thej new system of government lor France could be perfected by the first of June even. But from what had been done, and the skill of the

men at the head of the government, there was reason to believe that a re publican government would be fully es tablished. 4^'

There was no rea|f«i why wp should withhold the expression of our sympathies and congratulations until these ef forts are crowned with success. Now was the time—now is the time they need our sympathies^ and flow is the time they deserve it. They will have no reason to thank* us for sympathy which was made to depend updn their success.

He did not agree with the Senator ftotn South C&tfoliija,! that action now t|rajg premature. That fnoderation which had secured the co-operation of the ar my, the chuxph, and of all factions, with the people, inspired the strongest hopes of success and he would not dampen their hopes. To make our congratula tions dependent upon their success, would be equivalent to a declaration that we doubt their success.

He did not fear, in passing this reso lution, the counter declarations of other nauons. France cared nothing for the declarations of Russia, Austria, or any other government of Europe. But she did care for the'sympathy and declarations of republican America and he was not disposed so to act, as to express any doubt of her success.

He referred to the course of Mr. Rush, our minister at Paris, in terms of approval. j!Ie had thought it his duty to act in advance of instructions from our government at home—he had de» clared to the new government of France that he believed he was but expressing the sentiments of the American government and the American people, And in this declaration he (Mr. D.) concur-

re(J-

?|e| a*4t -fiuii uti Mr Allen fully concurred in the re-

deemed the proper course now was, to! the ^Senator from Illinois, (Mr. brief and complimlary address, say-1 lm, on ing Gentlemen—Ambers of the pro-1 great a visional French GWient. As citi-1 sending! zens of tiie United £*es and American ing eve

Douglass.) It had been his intention to propose the first Monday in April, for the consideration of the resolution, and he now desired his motion to be so modified.

Mr. Foote replied to some of the remarks of Mr. Calhoun. The people of this country, he believed, had made up their minds, and there was no reason for delay. His principal object in rising was to refer to the fact that the organ in this city of a large political party, had openly declared against this movement —this struggle for freedom—and in favor of the government which had just been overthrown. And there were Senators on this floor—high in standing, and whose opinions possess great influence abroad-—whose course was in consonance with the views so expressed.

The Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Underwood) had declared that the efforts in Europe in favor of liberal principles had failed in every instance. He was prepared to controvert that statement, and to show, from history, fhat it is entirely erroneous—that the march of liberal principles in Europe, since 1789, has been steadily onward,

Mr. Underwood (Mr. Foote giving way) explained that he had not intended to state that the political condition of the people of Europe had not in manyinstances been improved. He had only intended to say, that every effort to establish republican governments had fail,/thi

Mr. Foote expressed himself gratified at the explanation, and concluded with urging immediate action on the resolution. To hesitate was to destroy forever the effect produced by the course of our diplomatic representative in France.— Should wo show to the world that we are unworthy of such a representative, who had only imitated the example of Mr. Jefferson when he was there? He (Mr. F.) was prepared to sustain our Minister, and he regretted that any sentiments of an opposite character should go abroad.

Mr. Hannegan said there was a question of individual liberty more closely pressing upon their attention than this case of public liberty, which they had abundant time to discuss. He moved, therefore, that the resolution be passed by informally, and that the Senate pro ceed to the consideration of executive session. Agreed to. An executive ses sion w$ hAJ and the Senate adjourned

WASHINGTON, April 5, P. M.

Upon this question an interesting debate sprung up, in which Messrs. Foote and Allen participated.

W'hile Mr. Allen was speaking a man sprung from the Reporters' Gallery, on the eagle over Mr. Dallas' chair, ex claiming, "I deny the right of that man to speak for Ohio." Farther remarks Were cm short by the promppaction of the officers.
