New York, Tuesday, August 30, 1842. | The Tariff Bill Passed, | The Tariff Bill has at length passed. | iag is from our correspondent :— Wasuineton, Aug. 28, 1842. The Tariff bill passed the Senate at a late hou last evening, by a vote of 24 to 23. Of the whigs Messrs. Archer, Berrien, Clayton, Graham, Hen- derson, Mangum, Merrick, Preston, and Rives voted against the bill. Of the democrats, Messrs. sae Sturgeon, Williams, and Wright voted for it. " An effort will probably be made to lay it on the table in the House to-mnorrow—that failing, the amendments will be concurred in, and Congress will adjourn on Wednesday. By this it will be seen that a union of the Clay | whigs and Van Buren democrats has passed a bill at last. In another shape, a majority of the north- d western men have united in favor of the while the southern men have gone the other We have heard that Van Buren wrote to his ‘The follow - way. men to vote for the tariff without the distribution, and thus to conciliate the influence of Capt. Tyler for the future. Mr. Van Buren mayalso have in- | tendedthe movement as a means of demolishins Mr. Calhoun in the tariff States. At all events the vetoes of Captain Tyler have broken up both parties, and set them at swords’ points. There will be seme curious political movements in a few weeks. The President will be here in few days, on his way to Rockaway and Newport. Ought he not to have asplendid reception? Come, let’s try. Late and Important from the Mormon Country, We have just received a variety of curious,strange and original information from this part of the world. Some of it is political, some financial, some belli- gerent, some religions and some personal. Among other items we have the following news, which was written on the outside of a letter recei- | ved on Saturday, at one of the public offices, from | Chicago, Illinois. “A battle has been fought be- tw the Mormonsand Anti-Mormons. The extra says, thirty or forty were killed or wounded. Tho | Governor has gone down with 200 men.” In connection with this we have the following let- ter from the head quarters of Joe Smith, the prophe', and second Mahomet himself : Heav Quarre Nauvoo Lraiox, Crry or Nauvoo, Aug. 4th, 1842. | GENERAL ORDER. ‘ As General John C. Bennett has retired from the service, General James Arlington Bennet, the | next ranking officer, 1s hereby ordered to. repair | forthwith to the Head Quarters of the Legion and assume the command, accompanied by lus chief Aid-de-Camp, General James Gordon Bennett. ‘The requisition from the Executive of Missouri, | on the cutive of Illinois for the person of the Lieutenant General (at the instance of their accomplice, Dr. John C. Bennett,) for the attempt- assassination of Ex-Gov. Boggs, makes it ne- cessary thatthe most able and experienced ofli- cers should be in the field, for if the demand is per- sisted in, blood must be shed. By order of Lieut. Gen. Joseru Surtu. Huew McF« Adjutant General. This will be conveyed to New York by Jonn Slade, Esq., who is jnst leaving the city for the Ea:t to watch Dr. Bennett’s movements. Inconnection with the above, we have also re- ceived the following letter from Gen. John C. Ben- nett, now in thiscity, enclosing one from the brother of Governor Boggs, of Missouri; we give them both :— New York, Aug. 27th, 1842. Gen. James Gorpon Bennett, L. L. D.— R Sirn:— As you have recently been presented with the ap- pointment of, and commissioned as Aid-de-camp to His Imperial Holiness, Joseph Smith, Emperor of the Mormon Empire, with the rank and title of Brigadier-General, I presume that the perusal of the enclosed letter from Dr. Joseph O. ogee will not be uninteresting to you. I have replied to the com- munication, and stand in readiness to obey the mandate of Missouri, to testify in the premises. The Mormon pontiff shall tremble at the sight of gathering hosts, in the days of his captivity, like an aspen leaf in the wilderness. Savitque animis ignobile vuleus Jamgue faces et saga volant : furor arma ministrat. «The rude rabble are enraged now the fire-brancs and stones are seen to fly about ; their fury supplies them with arms.” But the Mermon autocrat should remember the old adage— Sape interewnt aliis meditantes necem. “ Those who plot the destruction of others, very often fall themselves the victims.” ‘Though his touch be as deadly as that of the Bo- han Upas, I will tear the ermine of sanctity from the shoulders of His Pontifical Holiness, and dim the glory of his mitred head. It may justly be said | of hun, a shawn-bawn once said to a stranger in Ireland, in speaking of two persons »f the name of Pierce and Damer, ‘ing the Mormon Maho- met to Damer,)—“ Damer,” said he, ‘ was torser than Pierce, and Pierce worser than Damer, and Damer himself was worser than the Devil.” In the face of High Heaven he has_ perpe- trated the blackest deeds of felony, and in the curling flames of hell shall he drink the dregs of the culpri’s cup. Nothing short of an excision of the cancer of Mormonism will effect a cure of that absorbing de- lusion, and the strong arm of military power must pertorm the operation at the edge of the sword, point of the bayonet, and mouth of the cannon.

In the mean time, do you endeavor to have all the evi- dence collected that you think will be required. Yours respecttully, Josern O. Bogas. With regard to going out to Nauvoo immediately, we shall state our views shortly. In the meantime, we shall see, and hear, and report what reasons Gen. John C. Bennett can advance to-night in his discourse that may prevent us from standing by Joe Smith, until, as he says, blood shall flow. Tue Faswionarte Warenrtnc Piaces.—We have | whole lots of letters from the fashionable watering places, Sharon Springs, Saratoga, Rockaway, &c. Some of them describe the state of society and man- | nersatsome of these abodes in the most agreeable | and amusing manner. Intelligence, ignorance, beauty, folly, impudence, affectation, modesty, pride, elegance, insolence, grace, trumpery, low birth, vulgar pretensions, have all been well repre sented during the season at all these places. An analysis of society and manners at the American watering places, compared with those of England, France and Germany, will be an instructive topic. We bave collected a variety of particulars on these points, and shall enter upoff the subject ina few days the meantime, Rockaway is still crowded with uty and fashion—so is Saratoga and other places. Fasmionantes Movements.—Lord Ashburton was to be in Albany to-day, where the Hon. John Hors- ly Palmer was waiting at Congress Hall to meethim Mr. Webster is expected in the city daily—so is the President. The members of Congress are dispersing in all directions. The members of the Legislature have been ona frolic to Saratoga. Sir Allan Mac Nab has reached Montreal. Gen, Bennett opens his battery and thunder against Joe Smith and the Mormons to-night in this city. The French Com- missioners are at last receiving a few of the hospi- talities of the city from our stupid and lazy Board of Aldermen. Lord Auekland, ex-Governor General of Jadia was last seen at St. Helena in a merchant vessel. Joe Smith has ran away from Nauvoo for » few daye. Gen. Harland has left Rockaway. Abby holley is lecturing on slavery inthe western part of the State City Intelligence, Tue Rinc—Tar Comnar.—The long contamnelt, r ted contest between William Bell, of Brooklyn, James Sullivan, of this city, came off yestel ‘The steamboats Westchester, (Sullivan’s boat,) N poleon Bell's boat. W e, Boston, Superior, Sa toga, Jacob Bell, William’ Young’ and Williams- burg, were all chariered to convey the fancy to Hart's Island, the place selected by Sullivan, the winner of the toss. This spot is about twenty miles above the city,up the Sound, and the number present most have been above ten thousand. The spot se- lected was the same as in the “ mill” between Jim Reed and Barrett, of Philadelphia, and being, as it is, a barren island, without house or habitation was ye! properly selected as ** the spot. Mur ch difficulty was experienced in forming the ring, but at twenty-four minutes past one, Sullivan appeared in the ring with his seconds, F rd and McClister. He was dressed in white stockings, drab breeches, and blue ties. Bell did not appear for half an hour afterwards, and was clad in white pants and hose, with blue ties. They met very friendly, to all appearances, and laid down alongside of each other, almost under the same blanket, while preparations were making to form the ring. Bell was seconded by Kensett, of Baltimore, who was the second of Harrington between him and McLane at the same place, and by McGee of this city, who has all the skill and science that is neces- sary “ to learn” On Sullivan’s stirring up he of- fered himself $100 to $50 on the result, which was taken by John McLane, one of Bell's backers, and the money posted on the instant. The ring having been partially formed by those in the front ranks taking their seats upon the ground, the time was considered up, and both men_ sent in their castors, Sullivan first, and Bell immediately on the track. "Tur Fiout.—The men presented themselves with full confidence, and Bell appeared confident of suc- cess, although his opponent offered the “brads” as evidences of his knowledge of the result, but the takers were not te be found. Bell won the choice of position, and, as a matter of course, took the sun at his back. ‘The day was a perfect scorcher, with the thermometer at ninety degrees, and not ashade nor sereen to any man oth risked himself asa wit- ness. The stake holder having read the agreement, and half minute time having been agreed upon, the parties were declared ready, and the men, with their seconds, met in the ring, and all crossed and shook hands as an evidence of good will all round, which was cordially responded to by the crowd. Rounp THE Finsy.—‘They came together, shook hands, and went at it; Sullivan made the first blow, and followed it up, throwing Bell flat upon his ba zk and drawing blood over the left eye. ‘i Second.—Sullivan gave him a right hand snifter, which settled him off; Bell closed in and run him to the ropes, when Sullivan tossed him, and ended ; the round with a fair flop. Third.—Sullivan gave him a desperate blow over “the left eye, which completely brough him to adead stand—a ia staggerer—and a rally brought Bell down with Sullivan on top of him. 2 The blow on the eye began to show pro- , and on the clinch Bell was under. 7 . Bell showed some skill, and evinced his determination to fight the battle by strength and not by skill, by closing in at the ropes, both down, Sulli- outside the ring. Sauls Re eth —-Suliivan bean to play possum, to give his friends a chance to get an even bet; and t.e cry through the crowd was among the unknownin & ones “see, he’s ee ae already.” A rally and both down, Bell under. ‘The seventh and eigth rounds were just as Sul- livan wished, and on the 9th when they came to the ropes, on the rally Bell dropped, without a blow to bring him down. Tenth.—A severe round--Sullivan got in four powerful blows—and Bell’s left eye began to swell, When he brought him abulger, which sent Bell clear through the ropes on the outside of the ring. Eleventh.—A rally and clinch at the ropes, and Bell dro pped. , Twelfth.—Bell’s left Te was nearly closed, and Sullivan played off—Bell put in several good blows, but with little force, and they went down together. Thirteenth.—A tally, all clinch, Sullivan down outside of ropes. Fourteenth.—A rally again, clinch at ropes, both across, ‘heads down, decided as a round, and taken up by seconds. _ Fifteenth.—Sullivan had it all his, own way, and in the sixteenth threw Bell down with great force. The seventeenth and eighteenth were fought i nearly the same manner. Sullivan not. yet having received either a severe blow or a visible mark upon the face. On the ninteenth, Sullivan threw his opponent over the upper rope clear to the ground, thus evincing his ability as the strongest man of the two. Twentieth.—Sullivan had it all his own way the balance of the fight, and on the twenty-second round Bell dropped again, on beiag clinched by Sullivan. | _ Twenty-third and twenty-fourth.—Sullivan did just as he pleased, and when “time” was called on the twenty fifth, Bell was seated on his second’s knee, but refused to come. Sullivan was therefore declared the victor, walk- ed up, shook hands with his opponent, was carried off the field in the arms of his friends, with searcely a scratch or a mark upon his person. The fight commenced at 27 minutes after ane o'clock, and terminated at five minutes after two, making the whole time 38 minutes, according to the watches of those gentlemen selected to “time” the fight. : Beil is most severely punished ; his left eye is effectually closed for a time, and his right partially; but he fought game, and evinced more skill than Secor, but nothing like the strength or endurance. Sullivan, in every clinch where strength was the criterion, showed himself the best man. _ The champion’s belt will be presented to Sullivan in a few days. Fata. Accent on THE Harvem Rai Roap.—As the eight o’clock train was coming through the tun- nel, a man was discovered lying with his head on the track ; as he was not seen until the locomotive came within three feet of him, with the usual ve- locity, it was impossible to stop until the train passed over his head, and instantly killed him. He appeared to be a loboring man, but no further trace could be found concerning him. Procress oF BarbarismM.—The whole city was kept in a state of excitement yesterday, in relation toa “milling match” between Sullivan and Bell of Brooklyn, which came off on Hart’s Island. When the financiers of Wallstreet “mill” each other, they are arrested, tried and punished. Why should not these pugilists be so? The city authorities ought to arrest all the principals ana accessories. There were ten thousand persons present, every one of whom, by law, is accessory in a breach of the peace. Let the whole ten thousand consider them- selves arrested to-day, without fail, and appear at court at the next General Sessions. There is no pork law there now. Care assness with Guxs.—Mr. H. Morrison, of . Stephens’, Nova Scotia, accidentally shot his wife with his gun, and killed her. She ‘was twenty- two, beautiful, and had been married four years.— ‘This makes over twenty accidental deaths we have chronicledjthis season, from carelessness in handling guns. Coty Warer Ovrrace.—We hope that the au- thorities will put a stop to the sport of several men on the corner of Pearl nnd Centre streets, who amused themselves yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, in deluging the rail road cars with Croton water as they passed by, completely drenching the passengers therein. St From Nassav.—We have received by the Lion, the Nassau Royal Gazette and the Observer of the 17th inst. The Kate Thompson, from Port au Prince for Boston, was stranded on Heneaugua on the after- noon ef the 9th inst. The vessel was a total loss, but the principal part of the cargo, coffee and log- wood, was saver A portion of it, consisting of 800 bags of coflee, and the sails and spars of the vessel, and the captain and part of the crew, had arrived at Nassau. A seaman belonging to the brig, name not given, died at Cay, and two others remained there danger- ously ill. ‘The steamer Medina had gone entirely to pieces. A portion of the steres and furniture of that vessel had arrived at Nassau for transhipment to Eng- land. The General Assembly of the Bahamas had been farther prorogued to September 29. Latest rrom Mextco.—We leara that the yellow fever continues to prevail in Vera Cruz. It is said that Santa Anna will be re-elected Presi- dent of Mexico by a large majority. No other news, Nisto's.—The entertainments here to-night are of the first class, The beautiful Groupings by the Ravel Family, called the Revolving Statues ; that boneless individual, Mons. Massetti, goes through his contortions ; the new pantomime is repeated ; and the evening winds up with the delicious Prome- nade Musicale {Correspondence of the Herald.) Easton, Pa., Aug. 17, 1842. Locofoco Meeting—Clay Meeting—The Great En campment. J. G. Bexxert, Esq:— Dear Sim— . Ihave not much news of very great importance to communicate to you at this time ; but as a chroni- cler of the passing events of the day, I will under- take to give you some little account of the two po- litical meetings held, ‘on Monday and Tuesday of this week. On Monday last, 15th inst. the democratic meet- ing came off, and asthe meeting was the annual County Convention of the ruling party of this coun- te it was, in common language, “a smasher ;” there were several causes tending to produce this large gathering of the people at this time of compara- tive stillness in the political world ; the greatest of which no doubt might be found in the aay esi of candidates for the several offices to be filled in the county at this fall election, every candidate of course exerting himself to be well represented in the doings ofthe Convention, for the purpose of aid- ing himself at the Delegate meeting, to procure a nomination for the office he may desire. believe there are near a dozen candidates for eve- ry office to be filled,that has any bey oremolument ate tached to it; so you may see that there are plenty c! office hunters any the “Great Democrfitic” par- ty, as well een ey The meeting passed strong resolutions in favor of the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, for the Presidency. On Tuesday, 16th inst. what was to be a tremen- dous gathering of the yeemanry of the county in favor of Henry Rah came off; the bell was rung loud and long; the leaders shouted, but there were no privates to obey; and asthe door of the build- ing 1s narrow, there were but few friends of the our Harry found “to go in thereat.” A few of the wire-workers, however, went and took their seats, and after sitting for some time surveying the empty boxes, made some sort of an organization, passed resolutions that hig A Clay was the most wonderful man in the world, John Tyler, the great- est scoundrel ard traitor, and the locofoeos the most arrant villains living; appointed delegates to a “ great Clay convention” to be held at Harrisburg sometime in September, and adjourned. This meeting, I suppose, will be heralded forth by the Clay papers as the greatest outpouring of the real democracy, that ever has taken place in our county; and as I stand in the light of a “looker on in Vienna,” towards both meetings, I may as well “stop that ball,” fand ihave the truth made known concerning the matter. There were just twenty- three persons, rank and file, in attendance who parti- cipated in the meciing, and allowed themselves to be gathered together under the Banner of Henry ie ** Sic transit gloria mundi.” hether the high fever of Clayism was allayed by the dose administered to its professors in North Carolina lately, where tliey first nominated “‘i.any of the West” for the Presidency, or whether the friends of a high protective tariff had been reading the Compromise Bill, and come to the conclusion the author of that was no man for them, | cannot say; but the number which I have given was the true strength of the meeting! to get up which, ex- traordinary means were used, names procured, and calls circulated all over a county polling over ay votes, and the town full.of people attending ‘ourt. Camp Delaware goes on well, and the note and bustle of preparation is heard among all oar milita- ry mento make arrangements to receive the large body of citizen-soldiers expected to be present.

James Gorpon Bennetr, Esq.:— The annual exhibition of the Bacon Academy took place on the Ith instant. The inhabitants far and near, look forward to this occasion with pleasing anticipations of a holiday enjoyment. The fatted calf is killed, grave and reverened Signors look im- portant when they hear{Greek they don’t under- stand, the girls look languishing, and they all drink andare merry. For us is reserved the glory of ex- hibiting to the world, this curious and interesting affair. The letter in your paper discriptive of the last exhibition, created a wonderful deal of talk. ‘We must say that in some of its strictures, it was ae to really meritorious and aspiring genius. We will endeavor to do justi . On the evening of Wednesday, the Literary As- sociation celebrated its existence by an address from A. R. Park, Esq. Subject—not ascertained. He commenced by combating the maxim ot Pope, “whatever is, is right,” He went deep into the history of England, and felt bad about the system of oppression and slavery, which has characterised her whole history, from William the Conqueror down to the present time. And here there wasa disturbance among somebody’s boots; when it subsided we made out the following :—Sir William Temple—speaks of oppression—Feudal system—villians—eold with land —wrong—oppression—Aimerican Reyolution *76— bold stand—equality—life—liberty—fugitive slaves delivered up—constitution—Governor Seward— wrong—-slavery—coal mines—-England. After this touch of equal rights, he read long extracts rom somebody’s reports of coal mines in Eng- land, showing the oppression there. We were sorry to see the audience so uneasy and ill-satisfied with this voice from the coal mines. He then told how the ea died ; and then he came down through 1800 years, giving the Popes of Rome a kick as he came along, and got Pope Lucius II, by the throat and threatened to strangle him for his bulls against heresy and Protestantism. Duplicity, intolerance, Satan’s imps and Aaron Burr were all rowed up together. : These were some of the things that were wrong. The only redeeming part of this caricature of an oration, was the “things that were right.” He said “it was right for the nation to erect a monument on Bunker’s awful Mount_ and Groton’s Height, to per- petuate the memory of those who bled and died and sacrificed thejr;all for their country. It would be right to erect monuments in this place to the me- mory of Bacon and Otis; the first of whom spent a life of self-denial and toil in amassing a property for the endowment of an a ., The other spent the last nine years of his li utire self-devotion and unwearied toil in raising the institution from its low estate, to that eminence of promenty it now en- joys; thus enriching the citizens and blessing the in- tellectual and spiri¢ual destiny of thousands of youth —a blessing that can only be realised in the urrelled records of the future. He lost his health and became a martyr to the cause. Who so sordid in his views as to deny a ‘‘granite” to ges Bacon, and Charles P. Otis. The marble slab, the only me- mento that Bacon lived and died, has been wrested from its place by sacriligious hands. But enough On Thursday was held the annual exhibition of fun, frolic, oratory, dissertations, foolishness, comic tragedies, big dinners, and the ladies’ fair. I will sum up, in a few words, the bill of performances, The first dialogue, by Mr. Smith, flat; “ The Fa- shionable Hero,” soft and overacted ; “Taking of Fort Griswold,” plot good—some parts well written, but not well carried out. “‘ The March of Intellect,” by S.S. Murfey, was not enacted, owing to the illness of the author. This, we were told, was a piece of decided merit. | Some of the dissertations were well written, but wretched oratory. Fitch, from Ohio, was the first that engaged our attention. His “ Individual Ef- fort” was an effort of talent. ‘W. sung sweetly. She enchanted us. | ‘We desire to mention one thing more, and that is, the academy is losing caste and renoun for not hav- nee ladies’ department, under a matron of parts. This would secure to the school greater patronage and reputation. Your man of the fotosr®) Dodge, of Chambers street, has bought himself a beautifnl residence here, besides other New-Yorkers. P ‘We have thus exercised the undoubted preroga- tive of an American citizen, in expressing the can- did opinion of a stranger to the fase and people. These exhibitions are public ;—the public will noes express their opinions. Who denies their Tight ? Viator. From tne Movytatns.—Seven boats arrived yes- terday from the Yellow Stone River, consigned to the American Fur Company, having on board twen- y thousand Buffalo robes and a few packs of other urs.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Baltimore, {Correspondence of the Herald.) Baurimore, Aug. 29, 1842. Mn. Eprror— pi There seems to’be a general rejoicing that the tariff bill has at last passed the Senate. Hope of more prosperous times already begins to animate the people. There are, however, slips between cups and lips. The fate of that great measure is yet uncertain. Who knows what the House may do, or how the Captain will dispose of it? In the way of local intelligence, there is not much. A German girl, named Mary Wimber, whilst labor- ing under the effects of a burning fever, cut her throat on Saturday morning. The first attempt was made with a knife, ise g second with a razor. She near: severed her head from her body, and was entirely dead when first discovered. On the books at Barnum’s I perceive the name of Gen. Worth. He with his suite arrived there yes- terday morning from Wushington, and left in the evening far Philadelphia. _ The New York Temperance Committee are get- ting upa considerable stir amongst our folks. ey have had mass meetings. at which they made speeh- es, sung songs, exhorted, &c.

It may not be quite so much so as I have heretofore stated, though it is difficult tosay.

Yours, Roperick. Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald) Puitapetruia, Aug. 29, 1842. On Saturday there was a strike and turn-out among the weavers, which, in the lower part of the city, was attended with some most disgraceful re- sults. A party entered the house of Edward Fine- gan, in Brinton street, between Twelfth and Thir- teenth, and Shippen and Fitzwater, and commanded him to quit his work. Upon his refusing to obey, they drove him from the house with blows, and ia the struggle struck his child, a little girl about five years of age, over the forehead with a club, by which she was felled to the earth, the flesh cut open, and the skull laid bare. After they had driven Mr. Finegan away, they took the unfinished web from his room, and carried it to the manufacturer in South street, above Broad, for whom Mr. F. was working A complaint was immediately made be- fore ‘Alderman Hoffner, who granted a warrant for the arrest of the rioters, and placed it in the hands of officer Dentry. These high handed and outrageous moyements are becoming clara aaly frequent in our city, and should have, ere this, called forth the strong arm of the law, to cheek and punish the offending. | George tek Fis Dixon, the singer, editor and great pedestrian, has returned to this city, after his successful and unprecedented tramp at Washington. He walked 30 miles on the rail-road in 5 hours and 35 minutes, and without stopping or sleeping, then walked ona plank for three days and two nights George looks pretty well tucked, as horse trainers say, and Ppbesly will be ready for another lony chase as soon as he shall have caught up a little in sleep. He appeared at Porter’s benefit, at the Arch st. Theatre, on Saturday night, and sang his medley with uproarious applause. His verse touching the “headers” of Capt. Tyler was a hit that told'loudly. We have no theatre openhere. Miss Cushman is expected in town in a few days. Both the Wal- nut and Chesnut will open the second week in next month. At the Chesnut it is said that Miss Ho- mer, Mrs. Keely, Mr. and Mrs. Kean, Mr. Temple- ton, and young Vandenhoff, will appear in the ceurse of the season. Good. Other disti fi : r distinguished actors are named in connection with the other houses. There is promise of a brilliant season. There was a pretty large business in stocks to- day. State fives fell off 3, and Mechanics Bank § The weather is excessively warm. Important Despatcurs From Mextco.—John L, Dorsey, Esq., Bearer of Despatches from Mexico t> our Government, arrived in this city last eveninc, via Key West and Pensacola, having left Vera Cruz on the 17th ult. i Mr. D. left in the barque Anahuac, Capt. Wilson, for New York. He was in the Gulf twenty-four days, most of which time the vessel was becalmed. He landed at Key West in a ‘ee boat, from which lace Captain Salter, of the United States steamer ississippi, politely tendered him a passage to Pen- sacola. From thence he travelled overland to Man, and arrived in this city by the Central rail- road. ‘The despatches, we learn, are of a_very import- ant character in relation to our difficulties with Mexico. When Mr. D. left, great excitement pre- vailed towards the Government of the United States. A proclamation was issued the day before his departure, of a most violent and inflammatory character, calling upon the citizens to unite and re- sist the aggressions of the United es ; denouncing our citizens as thieves, robbers and scoundrels, who are desirous to overthrow their religion, plunder their churches, and prostitute their wives anc TS. rmy ofthe Mexican government amounts to upwards of 50,000 effective men, and was daily re- ceiving additions from the vorious sections of the surrounding country. Upwards of 20,000 men had been ordered to the frontier of Texas, for the pur- pose of conquering it. Her navy had also undergone considerable increase, the government having pur- chased two war steamers in England for the purpose of co-operating with the army. Mr. Webster's letter in reply to. Mr, Bocanegra, Minister of Exterior Relations in Mexico, had not reached there when Mr. D. left. From the hos- tility displayed by the officers of the Mexican Go- vernment towards the American residents in that, country, Mr. D. says he should not be surprised if the tone of Mr. Webster's letter should induce the Mexican Government to vane them. A day ortwo previous to Mr Dorsey’s departure, Mr. Bocanegra resigned his seat as a member of the Cabinet, | was succeeded by Mr. Alaman, for- merly Minister of Exterior Relations under the Em- peror Iturbide. i ; General Lombednier, of the Mexican Army; had been ordered by Santa ‘Anna to repair to the frontier of Texas. Several of the officers had been put in prison on account of their refusing to accompany him on this expedition. We further understand that the officers of the Mexican Government have not as yet exchanged civilities with our Minister, Mr. Thompson, whose exertions in bringing to a close the negotiations in relation to the Texan prisoners, cannot be too high- ly commended. a There wereno American vessels at Vera Cruz when Mr. D. left, and what is a little remarkable, there had not been an arrival there from New Or- leans since April last. _ J Mr. D. will leave in the mail stare to-day, for Washington, although he is pretty well jaded out— from exposure and constant travel since his Soret ture from Mexico. He politely favored us late last evening, with the above particulars, which are hur- tiedly thiown together, and has kindly promised to furnish us with further details for to-morrow’s paper.
