 WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26.

 The resolutions of Mr. Clay, on the subject of the " Deposites," came up for discussion in the Senate to-day. The first asserted, that the act of the President, in ordering the remO- val of the deposites of the public money from the Bank of the United States, was unconsti- tutional and illegal; and the second, that the 1 reasons of Mir. Secretary Fancy were insuffi- 1 cient.

 The Senate chamber was full to overflow | ing. Macy could not get in, and were thus disappointed in not hearing the eloquent and celebrated Orator of the West. His remarks to-day were confined to consideration of the first resolution. He took a very strong and clear view of it. After an Introduction of great force and beauty, he undertook to prove and, think, did Prove-that the *depos.

 ties" were removed by order of the President, who thereby plainly violated hoth the Consti- tuition and the law. But will not here re- peat any of his arguments. The whole will | be in the Intelligencer in the morning.

 The friends of the President have hard task to perform. They are obliged to main- tain against the fact that MT. Secretary Fancy made the removal, of his own volitiOn; though every body here knows that Mir. Duane was turned out because he would not remove them, according to ihe Presidents decree of the 10th of September and that MT. Fancy l was turned iu, because he would do the deed. ] am inclined to think that MT. Clay's resolu-, lions. substantially as they are, will be adopt ed by the Senate.

 Report now goes that Mr. Stevenson will very soon be nominated to the Senate as min- ister to the Court of St. James. When this happens, then comes the tug of war for the va cant chair. The Kitchen Cabinet have their man-and their caterers are busily looking for gudgeons. 'I'is said, they have caught one or two-and that they have smart chance for some more. Washington, Dec. 26th, l83S.-Mr. Clay addressed the Senate this morning, on the subject of the removal ofthe Deposites, ;n the presence ofas large an audience as the Cham her would hold. Before II o'clock, the Gal leries and the floor were dramatically sealed. and presented a solid mass of ladies and gen tlemen, standing,-for seats were out of the qnestion-and impatiently waiting for the or der of the day. Not one eighth of the num- bers who thronged the Capitol obtained ad- mission to the Senate Chamber, and never before witnessed, on the part of those who were thus excluded SO much chagrin and dis appointment The anxiety which the ques- ton has excited is unparalleled even by that which we witnessed last winter, during the discussion of the Force Bill MT. Clay con- menced his oratiOn at half past twelve, and continued to speak till half past two. when. without concluding, he gave way to motion to adjourn. He commanded universal and intense interest and attention thrOughOut.- His characteristic clearness, simplicity and vigor, never before appeared to me SO striking, and his style of delivery was finished and ele- gant to the last degree. On the whole it was the best tempered and most finished perform I lL-. A n H IL
