Washington, Dec. 1.
The result of this day's proceedings in Congress, I think so interesting to the national character and independence of this country, that I hasten to inform you of it and make no apology for so doing.
Mr. Burwell spoke for some time in a sensible, argumentative manner, in reply to the remarks of Quincy and Randolph on the state of our foreign relations. The question was then put, Shall the first resolution of the committee pass? and it was carried without one dissenting voice. On the second resolution there was some talk, by Dana and Randolph, and the yeas and nays were called for by Dana—The result was, that 96 voted for and 26 against its passage—J. Randolph in the minority. The last resolution passed unanimously. The temper of the house as expressed is, for war.
