and Bagby, of Ala, voted for it.


The two last spec ches made in the debate, were
from Crittenden and Archer.


The Senate took recess until 6 in the evening
For an hour before the time arrived, spectators
began to assemble in the lobby and galleries of the
Senate chamber. At six, the President took the
chair, calling Senators TO order. The large gided
chandelier hanging from the dome of the Senate
hall, had It's rs lamps lighted up. Every nook and
corner OF the galleries were now crowded 10 over
flowing with solid masses OF human beings The
senlemen made such an early and general rush to
the senate chamber, filling It up SO completely, that
lew ladies' were able TO obtain an entrance EXCEPT
those who went half an hour in advance of the
time.


The doors of the chamber were left open.-
The ntl.chamber was filled with ladies', who
could hear the speaking inside through the open
door Never before, probably, did the Senate
chamber contain so many spectators on this i'm
porant occasion.


Al an early stage Of the proceedings Mr.. Foster,
of Tennessee, offered an amendment 10 Mr.Walk-
er's amendment, the latter adding portion of Mr..
Brnton's bill to the House resolutions leaving it
discretionary with the President to adopt either
plan In treating with Texas. This amendment was
lost.


Mr. Berrien then offered an amendment which
was voted down, Is to &C. Mr.. Walkers amend
msnt to the House reso utlons, was then reported,
passed upon In committee then in the whole House
The resolutions Of the House with the amendment
then came up Mr. Criuenden then moved 10
strike out the House resolutions altogether from
the bill. This was put and losi-yeas and nays
Mr. III
moved that the House resolutions be stricken out
and an amendment which he offered, be inserted
n place OF them. THIS motion was put and lost.
Finally, alter several Wing Senators had spoken.
giving their reasons for the vote they were abouko
give, and urging anew many Of their most prominent
objections 10 the whole bill, the same was put as
anended, and carried in the affirmative Is 10 q,
all the democratic Senators voting for II, with
Johnson, OF La, Merrlck. OF Mary land, and Hen
derson of Mississippi, wings, voting for it. There
Is no question that The amendments TO the House
resolutions will be Immediately Eassed on reaching
that body So we may consider Texas AS ANNEXED
to "a. '' '''| 'N' y N''l'


The passage Of the bill Of annexation has given
nill in day ortwo demand his passports and leave
Washington. Tnis piece Of mock dignity will
probably be prompted by Mr.. Pakenham, The Eng
llsh minister, as we dare say Almonte will scarce
" venture back to Mexico, where his master is
lying in prison TO await his trial.


Ihe rum0r afoat among persons well informed
Is, that our government has received dispatches
from Mexico, which evince favora BILE and friend
y disposition on the part OF the new government of
Mexico towards the United States, leaving no pro-
bablllty OF any hostile feelings being manifested
against ms on account of annexation.


II is also rumored that all the evidence in rela-
ton TO the intrgues of England for the acquisition
of California, has been laid before the Senate IN
secret session.


1t is also said that two new regiments Of troops
will be forthwith raised and marched for Texas, TO
act with other troops at proper time for taking
possession OF the country, and hosting our glorious
stars and stripes over that beautiful land
Mr.. Pakenham has shown much anxiety in rela-
ton to the fiaal passage Of this measure, and be-
lieve was present on the floor of the Senate cham
Der till late hour tonight


After the passage Of the bill, large number of
democratic Senators proceeded TO Coleman's, to
call upon the President elect, and congratulate him
on the fina passage Of this great measure through
the Senate. Among them | noticed Mr. Wood
bury, Mr.. Buchanan, and Mr.. Walker.
Ofice-seekers' gossip, and general matters, must
be deferred TILL my. next. We have had ''gIory
enough for one day" SANDY Hook
