New York, Saturday, April 18, 1846. THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD. The Weekly Hevald, to be ready morning, will be superbly embel! The first illustration will be that of the Charter elec. tion ; a graphic representation of the four classes of politicians in this city, anxiously analyzing the returns on the morning after the election. The second, that of a plan of some hieroglyphics on a rock found in Venezue- Ja. The last is @ singularity of the old world, and will attract the attention of the curious. It will be accom- panied by an interesting and truthful description. All the news of the week, including the recent im- portant intelligence from Mexico, will also be given. | Price sixpence per copy Important Correspondence. We give on the outside of this day’s paper, the correspondence that passed between the Hon. John Slidell and the Mexican government, which result- ed in the rejection of our Minister, and his return to the United States. It is scarcely necessary for us to point out to our readers the important charac- ter of these letters. eight o’clock this The Oregon Notice Question Settled. At length the vote has been taken on the Oregon question, and Mr. Crittenden’s resolution has pass- ed the Senate by a vote of 40 to 14—all the 54:40 men voting in the negative. This resolution, as amended and passed, advises the President to settle | the Oregon question amicably, and also authorises him to give the year’s notice, at his own discretion. The intelligence was received here yesterday by | magnetic telegraph, about 12 o’clock, and it | was immediately sent by the British consul, by a | special steamboat express, to reach the packet sai ing to Liverpool, and then laying in the lower har- bor at that hour. This vote of the Senate is of the deepest import, | ance. Some suppose it will be rejected by the | House ; but whether rejected or not, it settles the Oregon question during the present Congress. It | places in the hands of the President the entire con- | trol of the negotiation, to be used according to his | own discretion. It isthe greatest and most potent element of a re-election that any President ever re- | ceived ; and the probability now 1s, that all negoti- | ations, looking to a final settlement of this question, | will be postponed or protracted for the next three years. The 64:40 men will be perfectly satisfied | with the result. | Mr Polk, with the peculiar influences surround- | ing him, can now epring the Oregon question upon the country whenever he chooses, and thus secure the decided chances of a re-election. We will have | @ peace with England for the next four years, but a | ternble war among the factions at home. Great | resnit_this! All President-making and humbug. Our Relations with Mexico. Our relations with Mexico, according to the re- cent news, are now in the most ticklish position | that they have been since the independence of the | two countries. Peace or war, of a longer or shorter | duration, hangs on the turn of a straw. The army | of the United States is on one side of the Rio Grande, and the Mexican army is on the other, both | in sight of each other; and the next intelligence from that quarter may bring us the commencement | of the conflict. The accounts from Mexico are so varied and con- | flicting, that it increases the difficulty of ascertain- | ing the real policy and purposes of that government. | Paredes, the present head of the government, pro- | fesses, in his proclamation, to maintain simply a | detensive position. This, however, may be put | forth merely for the purpose of deception. His con- duct and declarations in this respect, and the gene- ral tone of the Mexican press, would imply that he relies on some other quarter for aid and assistance to enable him to annoy the United States. Parede: however, lives in the midst of difficulties and ghreut- | ening revolution from various points of the republic. | He may be attempting to strengthen himself by as- | suming a hostile position towards the United States ; H but from the recent developments in England rela- | tuve to the designs of certain governments, there is | every reason te believe that the Bntish and French, | and likewise the Spanish, governments, have been preparing to play over again the same game between | Mexico and the United States, as the two former did | ™ the matter of the annexation of Texas. Almonte, | who is a very ambitious and talented man, it is said | has given a great deal of trouble to Paredes, and has | been sent to England on an important mission. It is well known in this quarter, that Almonte has avowed fora long time the scheme of procuring | the aid of the English and French governments, in | the event of hostilities between Mexico and the United States. Taking all the accounts from Mexico and putting them together, and looking at the developments in the English journals relative to the purposes of the European governments, every mind is forced to believe that some bold scheme of intrigue between | Mexico and some of the governments of Europe, relative te the present condition ot our relations with that country, is on foot. Americans are crowd- ing into California and Northern Mexico from all quarters of the United States. This alarms not only Mexico, but likewise England and France. There is a sentiment of disaffection in northern Mexico, and some talk of setting up a government of their own, independent of that of Mexico, or of uniting with the United States. This is another cause of dread and alarm to the monarchies of the old world. It is also probable that the British government will endeavor, as a matter of policy, to employ the mili- tary spirit of the United States, through the agency | of Mexico, than through any direct committal by herself. Ifshe should take such a position, she | would be still enabled to preserve her manufactures, | by the importation of the staples of the southern | States. | Such being the condition of things, and the pros- | peet of war waged against us by Mexico, assisted | secretly or openly by the powers of Europe, in order to put down republican institutions in this hemis- phere, it may be asked, what is the government of the United Statesabout under such circumstances ? | | We fear very much that the present administration | want the moral courage and capacity to meet the ersis. We have every confidence in the present cabinet, but their is a want of coherence in their plans, which is more chargeable to the President himself, than to any member of the cabinet. While he speaks bold words to England, he has exhibited a want of moral courage, in taking responsibility and putting the country in a position to meet any “emergency that might arise from his declarations, or toback up his words with decisive acts. This state of things was exhibited by ,the recent revela- tions from the war and navy departments. It is now time tor the chief magistrate of this Great people if he possesses, in fact, a spirit equal to that displayed in the words of his last message, to come out boldly and take the Tesponsibility cast upon him, and begin this great movement, which will prevent a relapse of a sister republic into the arms of monarchy, as now threatened by the Eng- lish government. ——___ News rrom Bostor—No Unicorn Yer.—The Long Island train arrived last evening, with a large number of passengere, at half past 6.

I | Stars Convention.—We give in this day’s paper, | the mames of the candidates for delegates to the | State convention, so far as they have been an- | nounced. It will be perceived that these delegates are classed according to the parties which put them forward. It seems, that{in the interior of the Sate, there are four factions or parties, and it 18 believed that each will put forth its own candidate. These four factions are the barnburners, the old hunkers, the abolitionists, and the whigs; these being the names by which they are known. The barnburners com- pose the section of the old democracy which 1s at- tached to the house and family of Van Buren, and are led by John Van Buren, the living representa- tive and lineal heir of the honors of Lindenwald. | The old hunkers, or conservatives, form another faction ot the democratic party, who are opposed to the further advancement of the house and family of Van Buren, and profess to be heartily sick and tired of being ridden by the old man of the moun- tain. The political principles of these two factions are nearly alike. They are in fav@r of a moderate reform in government, and against giving the elec- tive franchise to colored people. The whigs and abolitionists speak for themselves. The abolition- ists comprise the Birney party, which is a separate | and distinct organization, and numbered sixteen thousand votes at the last Presidential election, The whigs are a sort of hybrid concern, and repre- sent the views of Seward, Weed, and Greeley. This 1s the state of things out of this city. In this metropolis no nominations have been yet publicly made ; but we believe that the three parties, the whigs, locofocos and natives, are each preparing their candidates. According to all appearances, the balance of power in the convention will be decided by the delegates that may be sent from the city of New York. Out of this city, probably, the mem- bers of the convention will be equally divided be- tween the barnburners and old hunkers on the one side, and the whigs and abolitionists on the other. The thirteen members from the city of New York, will, therefore, control the political complexion of the convention. If the whigs and natives in this city run separate tickets, the election will undoubt- edly terminate in giving a majority to the locofocos. ‘We are not sure but this would be the best result, | for, in that case, negro suffrage would be prevented, | and abolition receive a deadly blow. The conven- | ‘tion, however, will be a strange assembly, resem- bling in some of its radical, original, wild, and revo- | lutionary doctrines, the famous Convention Parlia- ment of England in the seventeenth century, or the Convention of France in 1790, both of which bodies led to terrible and awful outbreaks in society, reli- gion, philosophy, government, and common sense, Tue New Yorx Priors anp THER Orronents.— Whilst the chamber of commerce, influenced by the board of underwriters, are sending their peti- tions before the committees of Congress, facts are | being developed here, calculated to place the unre- lenting machinations of the underwriters against the New York pilots, before the country in their true light. The Wall street men do not like to be exposed or defeated, but they must meet their fel- low citizens openly and fairly, or be de- \ feated. Congress well understands that humble | citizens, who are sometimes passengers, or who have an interest in the lives ‘of their fellow crea- tures, are of as much importance as the fattest of the paper money manufacturers; and no undue pre- | ference will be given to the petitions which the Wall street philosophers procure to be signed, and of which so many are now pouring into Washington. Congress will not long be embarrassed by this af- fair, for an overwhelming petition from the masses | of our intelligent citizens, who understand the whole case, is now before the people, and will shortly be wheeled into Congress; and it will soon | appear that the State of New York can so regulate the pilot laws as to give a wholesome opposition mong skilful men, at fair rates, and to the satis- faction of all who are not made blind by prejudice. ‘We have spoken of facts which are being deve- joped. We calion the committees of Congress to avail themselves of the proofs. Commissioners of pilots, appointed by the whigs of this State, and who were four years in office, attending to their duties under the State law of 1837, are now in the port of New York, and they are ready to‘prove that some of the underwriters wished to engage these whigs to injure, break up, and completely ruin the New York pilots, who are democrats, by making a whig legislature pass a law to prevent the New York pilots from cruising for inward bound vessels outside of a geographical line drawn from Fire Isl- and Light House, on Long Island, to the Wood- lands on the Jersey shore, so that the Jerseymen might have a monopoly of all the outward bound vessels, and, by the privilege of cruising outside of the restricted New York pilots, have the best op- portunity to monopolise the heaviest of the inward bound ships; and thus the New York pilots | were to see their families starve, or they were to abandon the business which had been the sole study of their lives. | Thus the New York underwriters and bankers | were to triumph over their political enemies, | even at the increased hazard of life and pro- perty. But contact with the New York pilots had convinced these commissioners that the pilots | minated no delegates yet, and in others they are | were unjustly oppressed, and they could not be | only partially nominated ; before the election comes | coaxed or hired to do the dirty work. Nominations to the State Convention. We subjoin a carefully corrected classification of the nominations so far madé for delegates to the Convention, for the revision of the Constitution of | the State of New York. As it has been but recently | decided that the delegates are to be elected accord- | ing to the old apportionment, too many nominations have been made in some of the counties; the super- numeraries will have to be withdrawn.

Mr. Hackett @ Interesting from St. Domingo—Visit of a Spanish Fleet of Six Vessels ta the Hepub- leans of Dominica. We have received El Dominicano, from the | eastern or Dominican part of the island of Hayti, to | the 9th ult. It contains no particulars whatever of a warlike character. In fact, while the revolutions in the black part of the island are going on—of which we have kept our readers duly advised— | there is peace in the Spanish or Dominican part of | the island. The same journal contains the account of the ar- | val of six Spamish vessels in the port of St. Do- mingo, under the command of Admiral Don Pablo de Llanes. This, itis seid, 1s the first time they | have | beaa. visited, officially, by any scenic ik e space of twenty-two years, when the weparation of hia part of the toland trom the mother country was effected. Don Llanes immediately transmitted a communication to the President of the Dominican Republic, (his name is Santana,) who was at the time absent at his country house, or plantation, together with his secretaries. The purport of this commv- | nication was to say that Don LI commander of | the Spanish fleet, arrived in the port, was sent on a special mission by his excellency the Captain Gene- ral of the Isles of Cuba and Porto Rico, and also his excellency the general in chief of the Spanish naval forces in the Antilles, to reclaim and desire of Dominican republic that the Spanish flag should be respected, and also exempted from the blockade which had been, it was said, proclaimed by the Do- minican government. In reply, the President re- turned for answer, that no blockade whatever had. been by the Dominican government, as was supposed by the Spanish commander, and their excellencies the captain general and the general in chief of the naval forces of the Antilles. That the said supposed blockade, if any, had been declared solely by the Haytiens, or blacks, and that all the object of the naval demonstrations'made by the Dominican government was simply to prevent the depredations and robberies of the Haytiens, and to protect the commerce of the veasele which might come to the Dominican ports. It was further stated that the Spanish flag would always be duly respect- ed by the Dominican government, which entertain- ed no hostility, nor had declared any war against any people, unless it were with the Haytiens, who had subjugated and held them in the most degrading. captivity for the space of twenty-two years. These and similar protestations and in- terchanges of amity and friendship having been the commanders and officers of the Spanish vessels were invited on shore, and treated with the most profuse und generous hospitality. They were much pleased with the attentions shown them, and de- parted with feelings of the warmest friendship for the Dominicans, which, on the other part, were equally pes pg ere Arsong, other attentions, they were taken into the grand cathedral, to visit the tomb of Columbus, whose bones repose in the soil of Dominica (more properly, niola). The Spaniards, it is said, were deeply. 1 id at viewing the tomb, and the spot where lie the moul- dered remains of the great navigator. ; The same journal gives the message of President ‘Santana on the opening of the National Congress, which took place the 8d of March last. _ The message contains a glowing but temperate picture of the prosperity and success of the Do- minicans, after three years struggle against~their oppressors. The financial, naval, and military state of the republic, is represented _to be in a pros- perous and flourishing condition. In foreign diplo- | macy, the President states, that he has labored to sstablish friendly relations with other foreign na- tions, with whom the republic enjoys full peace! | That also a diplomatic note has been transmitted to | the Pope at Rome, in the view of establishing a firm | religious intercourse between the two countries. ‘The message also treats in a lucid, clear and simple | manner, upon the various affairs of the state, such as education, police, immigration, finance, “c., and concludes with sound and patriotic recommen- dations of works and duties tending to the public good. Itis upon the whole a superior document, | evidencing sound judgment, clearness of politic view, liberality of sentiment and nobleness of pur- pose. & | | | Theatrical, Musical, dc: Panx Tueatae.—Mr. Hackett appeared last evening, Macklin’s famous comedy of the ‘‘ Man of the World.” The performance drew down great applause from the audience; and although we were not exactly suited with Mr. Hackett’s Scotch, as a performance in high comedy, it was admirable.

Srrext Creanine.—The enormous sum of mo- ney annually expended under the head of “ Street Cleaning” in the City of New York, forms a serious tax upon the property owners, and is besides a fruit- ful source of fraud and corruption. With the ex- | ception, probably, of the Alms House contracts, there is more juggling, chicanery and favoritism connect- ed with the street sweeping department, than with any other branch ‘of the corporation business.— Most of our citizens will recollect that about twenty years ago, the street sweeping of the city paid for itself, or at least 1t cost nothing in the shape of tax- ation. The owner or occupant of each house was compelled by a corporation ordinance to sweep the street opposite his house to half the width of the street. While that ordinance was in force the streets were regularly cleaned before six o’clock in the morning, and before the business of the day com- menced, and that, too, without taxation. Now, when we consider that for a number of years past, this business has cost the city on an average a quar- ter of a million of dollars, without the work being | half done, we think it would be advisable to re- trace our steps, and go back to “ first principles.” If that ordinance were restored the street sweep- ing of this city would bring‘a large iP ges profit into the city treasury. A cord of t manure, spread on a farm in this neighborhood, is worth | from one dollar to one dollar and « quarter, and is a good investment at that. Thirty loads of this ma- nure to the acre, would make barren land fertile, and convert the sandy shores of Long Island into gardens. Contracts could be made for the sale and immediate removal of the dirt, after being swept into heaps, and the money received would go to- wards diminishing the enormous taxes that are le- vied annually on our property owners. We throw out suggestions, not in the hi that the loco-focos will profit by them, but merely for the consideration of the tax-payers.

Friday, April 17—6 P. At the first board to-day, quotations for fansy stoo! fell off several per cent, and the market, under the effe' of the Mexican news, was very much depressed.

The sales of Reading, and Norwich & W were large, but operations in the other fancies very limited. Soon after the adjournment of the first beard, it announced on ‘change that advices had been receive: from Washington, by telegraph, stating the the resolutions of Senator Crittenden hed passed the Sena' by a vote of forty to fourteen, a majority of twenty-six | its favor. This spread through the street with the est rapidity, and stocks edvanced at once, in some ir stances two per cent. A much better feeling prevailec and the market was somewhat relieved. At the second board a further improvement was re alized, but it is our impression that it is premature—tht it will not be sustained. Morris Canal went up 1} pe cent; Reading R R. 3; Norwich & Worcester 2); Lon Island 1}; Harlem 1.
