Instead of demanding appropriations from Congress, sufficient to equip an army ef ten or fifteen thousand men, General Tay- lor was despatched to the Rio Grande with a pal- try three thousand men; many of whom have de- serted, and many fallen victims to the climate. Such a contemptible display of the military re- sources of this great country, instead of intimidat- ing the Mexicans and striking terror into their government, had quite the contrary effect. Indeed, so insignificant did this force appear in the estima- tion of the Mexican officers, that they were not afraid to post their forces on their own side of the river, immediately opposite the camp of General Taylor, and point their cannon in such a position as to sweep the American camp and army to the shades. Such is the view the pusillanimous Mexi- cans, a8 we are accustomed to call them, take of Mr. Polk’s measures of intimidation. By the latest accounts from the army of occupa- tion, we learn that the Mexican army is now eight thousand strong, and continually increasing. To oppose this large force we have about three thou- sand men, who, by daily desertion and sickness, are decreasing fast. To increase our difficulties, the Mexican authorities have committed an act which, in all probability, will lead to a general engagement between the two armies. It appears that two men, who were the videttes thrown out by the advanced guard of dragoons, have been captured by the Mex- icans; and on being demanded by General Worth, who proceeded with a flag of truce for the purpose, the Mexican officers who answered him, declined to convey any propositions to their commander, until the American army should withdraw from its present position. This, of course, was not done. Meanwhile, the greatest activity appeared to pre- vail in the Mexican camp. Four redoubts were thrown up in one day and one night, in expectation, no doubt, of a general engagement. If, under these circumstances, an engagement should take place, we must reasonably conclude that it will end disastrously to the American name, and that a considerable portion of our little, but brave, army, will be sacrificed. The eternal boasting without acting, and the in- triguesof the President makers at Washington, have lowered the American name immeasurably in the eyes of Evrope, and defeated the settlement of the Oregon question. The same policy towards Mexico—the same big talking—has inspired the feebl Mexicans with contempt for us; and the pro- ability is, that if the anticipated engagement has taken place, and the American torces have been de- “sated, a long and bloody war, which may cest mil- ion lollars,will have to be resorted to before our relations with Mexico will be settled. It would ap- pear, u eed, that the same vacillation which cha- racterize { the administration of John Tyler will at- tend that of James K. Polk. More Disctosures From McKenzik.—ANoTHER Boox.—McKenzie, the Canadian refugee, has pub- lished another brochure, purporting to come from | Jersey city, but printed probably in this city, con- taining further disclosures, as he calls them, of the movements, principles, and associates of Van Bu- Ten and his dynasty, in this State and throughout she Union. We do not find anything remarkable or new in this publication. There are some few private and confidential letters that have not appeared in the | former pamphlet, and there are four of Webb’s, of No particular importance, and merely indicative of his quixotism, when he was going about the world, from New York to Washington, trying to get upa fight about Van Buren with some one of his oppo- nents, so that he could have acrack athim. The great bulk of the materials throughout is but a re- hash of his former pamphlet. He even reprints again a great portion of the same letters which he published before, and among them the letters attri- buted to the editor of this paper, coupled, however, with infamous and base falsehoods, which McKen- zie knew to be false. The whole batch of these disclosures contains nothing remarkably new, and nothing th at can alter or change the opinion of the public on Mr. Van Buren’s dynasty in this country during the last few years it was in existence. That dynasty was acknowledged by all who are acquaint- ed with its secret springs to have been selfish, de- ceitful, hypocritical, silly, umpudent, speculative, jobbing, rascally, atrocious, corrupt, cowardly, vin- dictive, contemptible, pitiful, and all the other simi- lar epithets that can be found from the beginning to the end of Webster’s quarto dictionary. Many of the men who formed that dynasty were clever, gentlemanly fellows. Martin Van Buren isa gentle- man, Hoyt is a gentleman, Croswell is a gentleman, and take them separately, and they are allclever men and gentlemen. But it is the singular destiny of hu" man nature, that when you takea certain quantity of very gentlemanly men, ‘and form them inte a poli- tical coterie, iu search of power and plunder, they be. come a clique of the deepest rascality in every country. Mr. Van Buren is now quietly enjoying his otium cum dignitate ot Lindenwald, riding out on horse. back every day, and exhibiting himself in the style of an old English gentleman, who has retired from public life. Many of his associates, during the last twenty years have likewise retired into private life, and are endeavoring to make themselves as comfortable as possible in their old age, with the remnants of their fortunes. There is no use now in disturb- ing the evenings of those men’s lives. Tyler endea- vored to create a dynasty on the same principles as Mr. Van Buren, but failed; and Mr. Polk is the only living representative of the Van Buren princi- ples now in existence in this country. The Polk dynasty will probably end in the same way that the Van Buren dynasty did, for it seems to be possessed of the same principles, and touched with the same dry rot. MeKenzie’s book is not worth the paper and print on which it is issued. It is a miserable rehash, with a little fresh matter here and there, and is full of impotence and malevolence. Streamer Orecon.—We are happy in being able to state that this splendid steamer was released from her unnatural position last evening, by the efforts of Mr. Sturges, who superintended the removal of the | Henry Clay. Mr. Sturges fastened four canal boats to her, and the full tide floated her off in gallant style. Onan examination being made, it appears iat she is comparatively uninjured, and that from eight vo ten thousand dollars expense will put her in ing order, and as good as ever. It is expected she will resume her trips in thirty days at farthest. After flo«ting off, the jouners and other work resumed their natural position. We are gratified that this splendid steamer—the object ef pride and admira- tion of every person that has seen her—will, i short time, be again in running order The violent true religion very seriously, | proselytes. Instead of using calm, sober, temperate | and dispassionate reasoning, they have resorted to the use of opprobious epithets and billingsgate slan- der. They have addressed the passions and preju- dices of their congregations, instead of influencing Nor are the | Catholics altogether free from this charge. Ona | certain occasion we saw the highest dignitary of their reason and their consciences. their church descend from the altar, with. the fra- | gtance of the holy incense remaining on his gar- | ments, and engage in the discussion of secular mat- ters in the filthy arena of politics, resembling more a Roman gladiator, than a devout follower of the | meek founder of christianity. As might naturally be expected, his conduct on the occasion created a great excitement, and the mighty effect of public opinion marked the public disapproval of his con- | duct. We have reason to believe, however, that the functionary in question has long since regretted his conduct on that occasion, and has been reinsta- ted in the estimation in which he was previously held. Be this as it may, one thing is certain, that while every persuasion has an unlimited right to promulgate its doctrines and make all the converts | it can, public opinion will not sanction a resort to | any but the legitimate means for that purpose. | | WEBSTER AND INGERSOLL.—We are glad to per- | ceive that the President has refused to lend himself | as an instrument, to be used for the purpose of black- | ening the character of Mr. Webster. In the first | place,we do not believe that Mr. Webster ever com- | mitted himself while Secretary of State, to such an | extent as was charged upon him by Mr. Ingersoll.— | The uses and purposes to which the secret service | | money is applied, unaccompanied by an explanation | of the circumstances which called for its application, might naturallyflead to a suspicion’ot corruption and malfeasance. But it would be unfair to Mr. Web- ster, or to any other man placed in similar circum- stances, with the weighty responsibility of a great international question to adjust, to furnish his ene- mies with garbled extracts of his correspondence and State papers, without the production and publi- cation of such correlative documents, as could noy be made public without manifest detriment to the public interests. But even supposing that Mr. Webster was so im- provident of his reputation as to be guilty of a mis- | application of the secret service fund, of what use | would be an exposure? The country hasa precious | treasure in the reputation of her public men, which | she should guard charily, and with jealous watch- | fulness. The reputation of one of her greatest | statesmen is not a thing to be lightly trifled with.— | But while we rejoice that this matter has been al- | lowed quietly to drop, we cannot but regret the man- | ner in which it originated, and the virulence of per- sonal animosity displayed on both sides. In the first place it was highly impolitic in Mr. Dickinson to drag the Ashburton treaty into his speech. No pos- | sible good could arise from the discussion of that | question after it had been worn thread-bare in the Senate ; and to quote portions of a speech of amem- ber of the other House, was, to say the least, very injudicious. It was contrary to all precedent. Buy together unworthy of that great statesman. It was too fish-womanish for the man who gained such high | distinction in the celebrated passage-at-arms with Mr. Hayne. The dignity of the senatorial order should never be compromised by the effervesence of | personal feeling. The Senate chamber should never | be made an arena for the exhibition of gladiatorial | feats of acrimonious antagonism. But in jousts of | this nature, the bludgeon is by no means so effective ‘a weapon as the finely tempered blade of Damascus. On the whole, we are pleased that the affair has been quashed, and we hope that the matter will rest | mereensiicinincmiceenenth ‘Wess vs. Bacon—Lrsex Surr.—This trial is set down specially for this day, in the Superior Court, when a large array of witnesses will be in atten- dance.

In order to remove this objection, the pardon of Wm L. Marcy, then Governor of this State, dated Oc- tober, 1837, was produced and read. ‘The examination of Carroll was then proceeded with.

Wednesday, April 22—6 P.M, Quotations for stocks continue without any materirl alteration. There is very little doing, and the market is as much depressed as previous to the arrival of the steamer. Reading Railroad fell off 4 per cent; Harlem, Long Island, Norwich & Worcester, Pennsylvania 5’s, Canton, and Morris Canal, closed at yesterday’s prices. A very slight improvement in prices was realized at the second board. Harlem went up j per cent ; Norwich and Worcester }; Morris Canslj; Reading Bonds}, with sales to some extent. There appears to bea very great eflart making by the bulls to get up prices, and it is very possible they may succeed in running some of the fancies up several per cent. ; but while there are so many local causes for a depression, while the money market continues in its present state, while there is a probebility of the Independent Treasury bill passing in its most restrictive shape, there can be no permanent im provement in quotations, for any kind of stock. The bears may withdraw from the market; and permit the bulls to put up prices five, or even ten per cent., for the purpose of coming in again at the top of the market, make large sales, and then hammer prices down as far as possible. : There has beena bill before the Legislature of this State, for some time, authorising the fire insurance com- panies of this city to fill up their capital stock to where it was previous to the great fire of last July. Many of these companies lost nearly the whole of their capitsl by that conflagration, and the losses have been paid (as far aa they were, able) so promptly, that the burnt district has been nearly all rebuilt in the most substantial man- ner. These companies have applied to the Legislature for permi n to renew their capitals. to enable them to go on with their business as usual; but for some reason or other, the Legislature bas not acted upon the applica- tion, This is the season when a great many policies expire, and those anxious to renew them cannot do so. Unless some movement is made at once in this matter, those wishing insurance will be compelled to getit in some foreign office. Those companies which fave suf fered so severely, and have met all their losses so promptly at great sacrifiees, are entitled to all tho aid in the power of the Legislature to grant; and we trust their petitions will receive, at the eorliest moment, that consideration they deserve.
