Washington, December 23.
There was an interesting debate on Friday in the Senate on Dr. Logan's bill to suspend commercial intercourse between the United States and St. Domingo. Messrs. Logan and Jackson advocated, and Messrs. S. Smith, Hillhouse, Mitchell, and Adams opposed it. The debate became the more interesting from its implication of the general state of our foreign relations, and particularly the late British orders. No sentiment but that of reprobation was uttered, and the necessity of taking bold and commanding ground in defence of our violated rights was avowed on all hands. The further consideration of the bill was postponed till Monday. We shall endeavour to publish a sketch of the debate.
