Te was not long before the President and Vice Presideat of the United States elect, woh their frieads, Were seated in a fiae new railroad car, built and fitted up expressly to convey the Presi- dent and suite from Balumore to Washington, Another tremendous shout from the people— other shotfrom the cannoa—and another sere from the whistle, and we were flying towards the capital, where Morse’s Telegraph had announced ourepproach, When the cars reached ia sight of the Capitol, a cannon was seen amid the close of darkness to blaze away from Capitol hill. Fire works were also displayed. These tokens brought eut to the Railroad station the whole population, apparently, of this heterogenous population of Washington. Office-seekers, idlers, ‘* Chevaliers L’ Industrie,” cabmen, porters, carts, wheelbarrow: negroes, dogs—all, ali—in one general avalanch of human beings, &c. | . Atorch-light procession, with music, banne: &c., moved along with awful pomp. The Pre: dent and Vice President landed somewhere or somehow, it si hard to tell in what way, and were received by speeches, and probably returned speeches. before Coleman’s Hotel there wasa tremendous crowd—scarcely any possibility of get. ting in or out. Gov, Polk had to be lifted in or passed in through a window, while the crowd, pro. cession and all, kept a lookout for him on the out- side. This was well done. It was then announced to the people that he would receive his friends to- morrow aod next day. Soon after which the crowd thinned alittle, but kept up a good deal of excite- ment to 4 late hour. Thus, at half past 12, ends my labors in descri- bing the scenes of the day. Bon Nuit, Sanvy Hoox. P_3.—The “‘ Chevaliers L’ Industrie” robbed two of Col. Polk’s frends to-mght on landing—Mr. McAllister and Mr. Churchill, members of the tucky delegation, who accompanied the Presi- dent trom Louisville to this city. Mr. Churchill, 1 understand, was robbed of $200 in gold and Ken- tucky bilis Mr, McAllister fost $300, mostly in Indiana and other Western money. A great time for pickpockets and office-hunters truly! eh! ! Important from Me: —Capture of Santa Anna Confirmed. The schooner Water Witch, arrived at New Orlea on the 5th, from Vera Cruz, bringing {ull Mexican dates to the 221 ult. The mest important news is the confirma. tionof the account previously given of the capture of Santa Aune. The Minister of Exterior Relations an nounced to the Mexican Congress on the 7th ult. the fact of Santa A' capture, and read the following official note oonvey ing the intelligence: Heap Quantens or Constitutionat Muuitia, At Jico, aif past 9 o'clock. } His Excellency Don Antonio Lopes de Santa Anna, has Just been brought in by four oi our men, and is now in our ower.

The Minister farther informed Congress that Santa Anna would be conducted to the Fortress of Perote, to aweit the decision of the Government. ‘A p-ocluma’ion dated January 14 ertatsivnment of peace in Muaico, and invited the citizens to retarn ‘o their homes. The members forming the Provisional Government of 1841, have been requested to tovm part of the assembly under the same character. The Com nanding offi :ers at Vera Cruz and Tamaulipas, have era under their commands Santa Anna, previous to his defeat, entered Puebla, pi ed and burnt the town, and butchered the inhabitants. His army of 10 to 12,000 men turaed against him, and he now remiins without a friend to hia cause General Am- pdia had been reeallod, and replaced by Martinez. Am Peat declared that all that he had done was by order of ant: Anna. It is said ta bethe epinion of well informed people in Mexico, that Santa Anna will be shot, but that he will be kept for some time to try to get him to disc.ose where his treasure is before they execute him. There is still a coutrari the accounts. Theabove istrom the Zy pie The Picayune says Santa Anna mad several attempts upon Puebla, attacking it at the head of four thousand troops, one half of which were cavalry. In these enteavors he was repulsed with considerable lows Son aterwards he left the army, about four leagues be Jow Puebla, with ao escort of several hundred men, aud osveded towards Jalapa. Before arriving at that cit: @ parted with hisescort, and attempted to make ‘caps to the mounteins on foot, in the disguise of a friar. Oathe 15:h of January, he was discovered in a baran- 4 (ravine) near a little {ndian village called Jito, some leagues from Jaiapa, by acouple of Indians who were hunting. The dogs belonging to the Indi became reative d tucious, the Indians followed the direction of th ic birking and found the Dictator, who offered them his watch and such money as he had about him if they would guide him to his hacienda. This they refused to do, but gave the alarm and hs was taken prisoner When he’ was Captured be had taken off his cork leg on account ofthe inflimmation produced by walking upon it, and was carried by his servants On he 20th of January he ‘was put ia the prison at Perote, where he now is. Colonel Boardmen met Parades on the rosd between Mexice and Pa bia, marching at the head of the Govern- ment forces to give Santa Anna battle ; but the fortunes ofthe Despot became so desperate that he deerted his army, sud was captured before Parades came up to him. "The Vera Cruz correspondent of the Picayune gives more detuiled accounts. The news of the overthrow of Canalizo reached Santa Anna in Queretaro on his march against Paredes He immediately countermarched with ail bis forces upon Mexico, swearing vengeance upon the Congress, &¢ &s whom he called revelutiovists. On arriving betore the gates of the Capital, he addressed a communication to General Herrera, the actual President, aivising him that he had come to take charge of the Pre- i , which he said, belonged lo him beyond any semanded to know if he was disposed to * big chair.” He of course was well aware ofthe decree of the Congr by which he was de- prived of all authority, civil and military, when he dressed his note ; but, as he had feigned ignorance, reply, acopy of thedycree was sent to him, and he was asked if he was dispose to deli over the command ef histroops, ashe had been previously ordered, and pre- sent himself to the government to answer to the charges made against him before the Congress, constituted in Grand Jury. To this Santa Anna replied, with ac dacity, that ifthe gates were not thrown opent» him within twenty-four hours, he would open them jhimself, and enter sword in hand. This com- munication was handed over to General Bravo, ommander hief of the troops of the Capi. tal, for reply. Accordingly an answer was forth ying him that the defence of the city was un- charge, aud that it should be defended to the last, at the same time calling upon him to submit and avoid bloodshed. After bravadoing for three days to no pur pose, Santa Anna retreated with his forces and marched upon Puebla, before which city he arrived on the 2n imaediately demanded the surrender of the city, giving one hour's time to do ¢0, and notifying Gen. Inclan, the Commandante General, that if the city was not surrender- ed within thet time, he would carry the place by assault and give quarters to no one. The reply of Inelan was short and sweet, without any of the humbug so common in the military ‘proclamations of this country; he told him that he would not surrender the city as long as he had a man left to fre ashot. He kept his word. Sante Anna commenced his attack on the foliowing morning and was repulsed; as also in all the successive at- tacks, which he continued making daily until the 7th, when he sentim a flag cf truce with) propositions.— While a council of war was holding in Puebla to deter- e propositions which Santa Anna’ missioners Lad to make, an attnck was made with proportion of the traitor’s forces, which had iy forced their way a considerable dis'ance, when the Pro- blanos railied and drove them back at the point of the bayonet, taking some two hundred prisoners and one piece of artillery.

James G. Bennet, Esg.— The House of Representatives have added Flori- da and lewa as stars to the Union, which will se- cure a democratic Senate for the support of the measures of the new administration, if the other branch of Congress concur therein. But one sin- gle democrat voted against the measure. The Texas debate commenced in the Senate to- day, Mr. Moorhead, of Kentucky, leading the ar- gument. James Buchanan, the popalar Senator from Pennsylvania, will reply to-morrow. The President elect is not expected here until to- morrow evening, although he may arrive to-night. He will be received with all the honors of the oc- casion,and when once installed at Coleman’s, then look out tor aseige. + The examination of the case of Col. McNulty closed yesterday, and he was held to bail in the sum of $17,000 for his appearance to answer the charge ot embezzlement. The sum_of $16,000 is still due, and is in the hands of Dr. Woodward, of Ohio, and will be forthcoming at a future period, probably not until after the close of the trial. The Senate held an executive session to-day, but no appointments were acted upon, Your first bulletin frem the weet of the move- ments of the President elect, created considerable interest here this morning, on the arrival of the Herald, and the opinion given in your editorial that ** no one can get office or honors, who refuse: to support the immediate annexation ot Texas,” receives the hearty response of every true demo- crat who aided the election of Mr. Polk. A most determined effort will he made by the opponents of annexetion trom New York and elsewhere, to et- fect the removal of Mr. Calhoun trom the cabinet (doubtful. Ed ] It is already evident here, and in a few days will break forth with redoubled vi- gor, but he will meet this anti.Texas bull by the horns, and whirl him to the dust. Mr. Calhoun is not the man to be defeated in the advocacy of principles—private intrigue and false friendship may be created to thwart his movements, but the de:nocracy of the country are with him, heart and sou\ in favor of annexation and occupation, and no earthly power can resist their preponderance — ‘They must prevail, and he must siand more ex- alted than ever. The defeat of annexation will add to his strength, and bring to the support of the new administration the combined force of the pure democracy of the country, including thousands trom the eouvh and west, who have heretofore been classified with the whig party on questions of minor importance. The nationality of the annex- ation of Texas and the occupation of Oregon will politically defeat all its opponents. The appointment by the Senate of Commission ers to examine into alleged abuses of the natur: zation laws throughout the country, isa political movement, which will not be tully developed until the approach ot the Presidential election of 1848. A statement was made a few days since in the Se- nate by one of the whig members of that body, that these Commissioners had been appointed with a desire to ascertain the truth, and therefore per- sous trom both political parties had been selected to conduct the investigation. This statement is aot correct, asthe gentlemen selected in your ci'y are all whigs, of the most ultra character, and their manner of examination is calculated to sustain the opinion that strong partizan feeling governs their course. No termination is fixed to this investiga- tion, and no doubt it will continue as long as it proves profitable to the Commissioners. The re- sult will be a reference of the testimeny taken to the next Congrese, and the selection by a party committee of the Senate, of that which best ac- cords with their peculiar views, and the subsequent vublication,by thousands and tens of thousands, to influence the action of voters in the Presidential campaign. This supposition will induce the de- mocratic members of the House to raise asimilar commission in a day or two, to investigate the frauds of their opponents in New York, Ohio and elsewhere, the result of which will either aid poli- tical rascality by knowledge of the means to in- crease it, or possibly purify the pslitical atmosphere by the passage of penal laws to prevent fraud. The Madisonian of yesterday, contained an edi- torial relative to the appointment of Navy Agent of your city, in which it intimates hostility on the part of your correspondent to the confirmation nf the appointment of Thomas A. Cooper, Esq. of Philadelphia, as Surveyor of that port, in place of John G. Watmough, resigned. Nothing can be more ridiculous than this idea. Your correspon- dent has known Mr. Cooper for years, and can add his testimonial to his decided political character and capacity for the station to which he is selected, and can also refer to his exertions in his private capacity, to aid in his confirmation. Butwhy does not the editor of that hese meet the arguments of- fered? Why not call upon the Secretary of the Navy for certain correspondence and documents in his possession? Why evade and shuffle? If my assertions are not true and not based upon facts, how easy would it be to disprove them? The dis- interested and impartial motives that prompt the course of your correspondent, are too well known to be affected by any article from such a source. To sustain the reasons that have prompted my communications, as regards the appointment of Prosper M. Wetmore, I send you an affidavit pre- pared and signed by him in a case before the Su- reme Court, ir which James Kent, was a party as eceiver, Wc. of the Franklin Bank. Perhaps he can explain what it means, or Thomas Hyatt, or the memory of the broken hearted man who was sacrificed with Hyatt. TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. In Senate. Wasuineron, Thursday, Feb. 13. The Cuarr laid betore the Senate a communica- tion from the Treasury Department, regarding the payment of Indian appropriations, which was laid upon the table. Mr. Fainrrecp presented the resolutions recently passed by the Legislature of Maine, relating to the annexation of Texas, and the extension of our federal jurisdiction over the Territory of Oregon. The resolutions concluded by an instruction to the Senators of Maine in Congress, and a request upoo their Representatives in favor of these two great measures. Mr. F. acknowledged the right of in- ction, and the duty of Senators to obey. The spirit ot the resolutions also coincided with his views reepecting the annexation of Texas ‘at the earliest practicable period.” Resolutions read, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Foster submitted a resolution requiring the Secretary of War to report to Congress at its next session, upon the best plan fora defence of the Cu- nadian or northern frontiers of the United State Mr. Foster, in introducing this resolution, exhi bited the necessity and importance of proper mil tary and naval defences along the Lakes. Reso- lution lies over. Mr. Miuter presented the credentials of the re- election for six years, from and after the 4th of March next, of Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, of New Jersey, to the United States Senate. M. Tappan, trom citizens of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, presented a protest against the annexation of Texas. Laid on the table. By Mr. Dix, from Watertown, N_Y., a_remon- strance against the passage of Hon. Wilton Brown’s rezolutions of annexation. Laid on the table. By Mr. Bayaxp, from mechanics of Washing- ton Navy Yard, for some remuneration for loes of time attendant upon their suspension from employ- ment in 1843 eferred. Mr. Evans reported a bill authorizing the South Carolina Railroad Company to import certain pipes and machinery free of duty. _ Mr. Asuixy submitted a joint resolution provid- ing for admitting Texas into the Union. [Sub- stantially in its leading features the same as the resolution of Mr. Milton Brown. ] Mr. Baesy moved a resolution that the Senate hereafter meet at JI instead of 12 in the merning. Laid on the table The bill providing for purchasing and distributing among the several statesof the Union, copies of the decisions of the Saoreme Court of the United States. Was passed—21 to 20. The bill providing for the transportation of the U.S. Mail between this country and foreign na- Uons was passed. TEXAS—THE DISCUSSION BEGUN. Mr. Ancuer moved that the Senate take up the special order, to wit: the Report of the Commitiee on Foreign Relations, and their resolutions against the annexation of Texas to the United States The Cnarr announced the subject to be before the Senate. , Mr. Aen asked the precise state of the ques- ion, The Cxare explained that it was upon agreeing to the report and resolutions of the Committee ; but, in order to present the question in the most distinct from, Mr. Arcuer had it modified to the indefinite pos'ponement of the joint resolution from the House 1 Kepresentatives for annexing Texas to the United States, Mr. Auven called fer the ayes and nays, and were ordered. The Chair was about putting neation, when Mr. Morewgap rose conformably to notice given, in support of the views and decisions of Committee on Foreign Relations, and in opposition to the re- solution trom the House, for the admission of Texas into the Union. With an apol to the Senate, and an appeal to the Supreme disposer of events, Mr. Morehead launched forth into the stream of his argument. His first objection to the incorporation of Texas with the United States was that it was inexpedient, se we have sufficient territory within the limits of the Govern- ment for all useful purposes. Second—Our rela- tions with Mexico were the same as at the last session, when the treaty etipulations subsisting be- tween the United States and ‘Mexico were made 80 powerful an argument against the admission of Texas into the Union, se Tenaga its independence was contested by Mexico. Third—The precedent of a bare majority in Congress aeauming the autho- nity et acting upon a measure like this unauthorized by the Constitution, might lead at some future day to other assumptions on the part of a bare majority in the two houses, of greater danger amd more de- cided encroachment upon the liberties of the peo- ple and the Stat {Several messages from Presi- dent.] 4. The bill was not conformable to the con- stitution, because it gave to a majority of the two Houses the power to treat with a foreign nation up- on a question which, if it belonged to any power derivable from the constitution, only properly be- longed to the treaty-making power. The treaty proceedings in the acquisition of Louisiana, were then recapitulated in support of this argument, as also the treaty ef President Tyler for the admission of Texas. 5. The authority assumed, under the constitution, as to the power of Congress to acquire new eerritery, from the clause providing that “new States may be admitted into the Union,” &c., Mr. M. maintained had no relation whatever to the ad- n of foreign States into the Union, but was confined in its intent and legitimate construction exclusively to the domestic terriiory of the United Mr. M. concentrated the weight of his op- to the admission to the admission of Texas to this in fra territorium limitation of the power conceded to admit new States. He cited the pro- , in convention, upon the adoption of this clause of the constitution, as establishing ita limitation to our own domestic territory — Otherwise, where was the limitation? Irefand and England might admitted under this ex- tended construction of the power to admit new States into the Union. He quoted from a let- ter of Mr. Jefferson to Mr. Nicholas (a Senator in Congress at the time from Virginia) an ex tract against any unauthorized latitudinous con- struction of the constitution, and especially against assuming from the clause pOreins for the admis- sion of new States, any authority to acquire foreign territory. With this latitudinous interpretation, where should we stop? We might annex Cuba, and then the preponderating influence of the north might exert itself for the annexation of Hayti or St. Domingo. It had, indeed, been claimed by some one of the advocates of this loose construc- tion, that it might be extended so as to embrace Patagonia, the South Sea Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Chinese Empire. We mightdesire, tor variety’s sake, to have among our people, the vad little ladies of China, with their very ittle feet. (Something of an audible smile among the semi-circle of ostrich and peli- can feathers in the ladies gallery.) But what, sir, should we do with the honorable Sena- tor from Patagonia? We should likely have In that representative a cannibal—a man-eater; and doubtless gentlemen would be disposed to keep order when the man eating Patagonian should take the floor. In every aspect of this mis-construc tion of the power to admit new States there was danger, excess, and confusion. Upon the whole, Mr. Morehead was satiefied to Jet very well alone. rather than hazard the ungeen dangers that might follow upon the adoption of a measure like th The birth, the rise, the unparalleled progress of th United States in greatness, glory, and prosperity, were forcibly delineated by Mr. M., as resulting from a wise administration of the government, un- der a careful and scrupulous regard fora consistent adhesion to the Federal Constitution. He exhort ed and implored our continuance in this wise ex- ample of our illustrious fathers. After depicting the glory of the union of these twenty-six States, he deplored any event which might lead to the location of the members of this confederacy, citing from ancient history the profitable examples of the decline and final fall of empires, from their grasping ambition for new possessions. Mr. M. closed his observations by expressing his faith in the strength of the Union—ard in the principle among the States of mutual concessions tor the general good. . ‘When Mr. Morehead had taken hisseat, _ Mr. Bucanan arose in his place, and looking round to the clock, that it was now near three o’clock, and moved therefore that the Senate ad- journ. But the motion was overruled by asuccess- ful propositien to go into Executive session for a short time. Executive sitting accordingly, after which, Adjourned. House of Representatives, Wasnincron, Thursday, Feb. 13,1845. The first business in order this morning was, the mo- tion to lay on the table, the resolution offered by Cave Jounson providing that all debate on the bill to admit lowa and Florida into the Union, should cease in twenty minutes efter r going into Committee of the Whole. On this the yeas 's had been ordered, and the motion to lay on the table was lost, 50 to $4. The motion was then amended s0 as to allow two hours for debate, and was then adopted. On motion, the House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, to consider the bill to admit into the Union IOWA AND FLORIDA, Mr. Bexsen, of Ala., in the chair. The question under consideration was the motion of Mr. Monrsz, of Maine, to oblige Florida to strike out two of the provisions of her constitution relating to emancips- tion of es and admission of free blacks to her soil, be- “ ~ Kamen the Union. ian tot at JAYLEY, O in opposit to the propo! amendment exposing it sg ® Mr. Morse replied defending amendment as right and proper.

He then agreed that slavery did rot conflict with a republican form of government, then they were nullities for the constitution of the United States was the supreme law of the land; therefore there was no need for the mo- tion of the gentleman from Maine. But if those clauses were constitutio: then was Congress to say to a sov- ereign State, not do what you think proper, although it be constitutional?” Mr Dovoxass, of Ill. spoke in opposition to the amend- ment, and said that although he should vote for the ad- m n, his vote would not declare that he approved of all the provisions of the constitution of Florida—fer from it; but they had no right to ask any other question then whether the form of government were republican. He wished to state this, that it might not be supposed that all ag provisions of that State constitution were approved im. "vir Avamsasked Mr. Dovotass what he would thiok if the consti‘ution of lowa contained a provision probi- — any of the citizens of Illinois from entering that Mc. Dovatass saidthat any such provision would be a pullity, for it would be clearly in conflict with the pro: sions of the United States Constitution, and there was not a Court in the land but that would pronounce it un- constitutional, and therefore a Poaek Mr. Apam if he would vote forthe admission of Towa with such a clause in her constitution. Mr. Doverass—Yes! Nuxuities are no great terror to me—I’m not much afraid of those sort of things.
