ARRIVAL OF THE CALIFORNIA!

ONE MONTH LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES!
Arrival of our Congressional Delegation at Washington!
THE CONSTITUTION BEFORE CONGRESS!


The U.S.P.M. Steamship California, Capt. Budd, arrived in our harbor yesterday morning and came to anchor off Rincon Point about 1 oclock. She brought up 263 passengers. She left Panama on the 2nd inst. Bringing dates from New York to the 16th of February. The news is of an interesting character. The Californai brought full mails, which only arrived in Panama two days before the day of her sailing. Neither the Tennessee nor Sarah Sands had arrived at Panama up to the 2nd inst. The propeller Chesapeake was wooding at Cape St. Lucas when the California passed her.

By far, the most important intelligence received by this arrival is the announcement of the arrival at Washington of our Congressional delegation and the transmission of an authenticated copy of our constitution to Congress by the President of the United States. Part of our delegation went to New York on the Empire City, which arrived on the 5th of February.

The Cherokee arrived on the 15th day of February with important despatches from the U.S. Consuls at Leon, Nicaragua and Kingston, Jamaica. Col. Fremont was detained at Panama by the ill health of his wife. She had recovered, however, but he was subsequently taken ill. They were to proceed from Chagres on the Philadelphia.

Our Constitution-- In the New York Herald of the 14th February, we find the following Telegraphic correspondence from Washington, dated 13th inst., and an extract from the proceedings of Congress on the same day:

Washington City, Wednesday Evening, Feb. 13, 1850. The synopsis of the Congressional proceedings will place the occurrences of today before the public.

One thing has created some speculation throughout the city the peculiarly silent manner in which the President, by the advice of his cabinet, has submitted the constitution of California. It might have been an opportunity for something better than "masterly inactivity." The cabinet well knew that on the California controversy will hang all the law and the profits to be drawn out of the slavery question . . .

Message of the President in relation to California The Vice President laid before the Senate a message from the President, transmitting an authentic copy of the constitution of the State of California. . . and a view to the consideration of all the matters incidental to the admission of California.

After some additional conversation, the President’s message and the accompanying constitution were ordered to be printed, and the further consideration of the subject postponed until tomorrow.
