Mundell, No 3 Marvin Row ne: ‘0 the Post Office, is the regular agent for the Herald At Mr. M's depot this paper can always be had without danzer of disappointment ———— Congress—Highly Important—The Treaty at Last. Ve have the indescribable happiness of stating to our readers and the public, that Mr, Polk has 0 Oregon at length prese Ito the Senate, the basis of a treaty with England for the settlement of the Ore- gon question. This took place yesterday, and the news was received at this office early in the after- noon by egraph from Washington. The in- formation given by our correspondent the day bre, was, therefore, accurate. What the basis of this treaty is, cannot of course be officially known, because it was read and dis- cussed in secret session—but we have good reasons for believing that the terms are these—the 49th parallel to Fuca Straits, thence to the Pacific Ocean, giving all Vanconver’s Island to England, with a clause to erect no fortifications thereon, and the free navigation of the Columbia river to Hudson’s Bay Company for twenty years. The discussion on this basis for a treaty has begun, and may continue for days—perchance for weeks—but there is every reason to believe, that it will receive two-thirds ofthe Senate. When this vote shall have been taken in the “shape of a resolution, it will be returned to the President, be: who will direct the Secretary of State to arrange a treaty with Mr. Pakenhanrym the basis thus approved. It will then be presented formally to the Sen and be confirmed. Thus, the Oregon question is. at last, in the first stage Of a final settlement—a settlement which will reflect imore credit and ieputation on the President and Mr. Buchanan, his able Secretary of State, than they can realize at this moment. The news will diffase general joy:throughout the land. We can now thrash Mexico into decency at our leisure. The other proceedings of Congress are of no par- ticular interest. Tae War wrru Mexico.—By the recent intel- ligence from Vera Cruz, it appears that the se- vere lessons administered to Arista, and the army under his command, by the Americans, at Palo | Alto, and Resaca de la Palma, have not produced | the effect it was hoped they would. On the con- trary, Paredes seems determined to carry on the war with the greatest energy. For this purpose, he had, at the last accounts from Mexico, resorted to very high handed measures to replenish his treasury, by compelling the clergy to furnish sub- sidies, to the amount of ninety-cight thousand dollars per month. While Paredes is taking these measures to sus- tain his administration, symptoms of discontent and revolution are being developed in different quarters. In the South particularly, General Al- varez was carrying on his hostile preparations; and atthe last accounts, Mazatlan on the Pacific, had pronounced against the existing government. From these accounts it is clear that difficulties are beginning to surround Paredes, which must sooner orlaterend in his overthrow. While he must show consistency in carrying on the war with the United States, he is obliged to make the clergy furnish the means. By doing this, he wil) lose his popularity with the most influential body in the country, without whose countenance and support in an emergency like the present, no ad- ministration can stand. By abandoning the war policy, and making propositions for peace, his overthrow would be still more certain and rapid , He cannot leave the capital on account of the bad odor his administration is in, caused by the recent defeats. It is evident, then, that the present time affords a favorable opportunity for the American Go- vernment to prosecute its plans of invasion, and bring the war to a termination as soon as possible. Nothing short of the entrance of a powerful army into the city of Mexico itself, will bring about such anevent. Let the Government march an army of twenty-five thousand men from Tampico to the city of Mexico, which, as we have already pointed out, is the safest and best way to reach the capital. General Taylor could leave a suffi- gient force at Matamoras to centrol the Lower Rio Graude, while Col. Kearney and his company would be able « protect the upper country bor- dering on the same river. With the remainder of his force, General Taylor could embark for Tampico, and pursue his march to the city of Mexico. Having reached that city, Paredes would be encumbered with difficulties from which he could not extricate himself, and sur- rounded by enemies. We would then have all the ports of the Pacific blockaded, Mazatlan in a state of revolution, the Gulf of Mexico occupied by the American fleet, the city of Mexico in possession of an American army, Upper California in the same condition, and with a fleet off Vera Cruz, and the city of Mexico in our possession, the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa must fall, Ita system of operations like this were carried out, the war would soon be brought to a success- ful termination; and the military usurpers of Mexico humbled in a proper manner. Wesr Point Acapemy.—In consequence of the attacks made on this institution by the “ sausage democracy” in Congress, and throughout the country, we have considered it advisable to des- patch a special correspondent from this establish- ment to attend the examinations that are now going on there. The letters of our correspondent will be found highly interesting at the present time. They will show to the satisfaction of every person, that the studies and exercises which the students undergo, are of the most arduous and trying description, and that, notwithstanding the onsiaughts of the “ sausage men,” West Point is the school to furnish heroes, like those who have recently reflected high honor on the American arms, onthe banks of the Rio Grande. In ad- dition to the inducements that the militafy exer- Givesand academical examinations, which are now going on at West Point, offer to those dis- Posed to visit the place, and which will continue this week and next, there is avery fine hotel, kept by Mr. Ryan, whose indefatigable exertions toconduce to the comfort of visiters, render his house one of the best stopping places we have ever visited. Avisitto West Point, at this time, cannot fail to be amusing and instructive. _————___ Wenn vs. Bacon.—This amusing case has at last commenced. The evidence may be said to have not, 28 yet, been introduced, as the state- ments of counsel have only been given.— The case will be fairly under way this day, when on array of witnesses will be introduced, thay will make it one of the most graphic, original and wumugue cases, that have ever appeared before any jury. The parties are allin Court, and most of the lending politicians will be examined on both sides—when we shall have a series of revelations, thatwill astonish the politicians of the country. The court will be crowded to excess. Some documentary evidence has only as yet been in- troduced. We suppose that all the leading whigs of the country will be examined. U. S. Senator rnom New Hapsmee.—The Hon. John P. Hale has beon elected United States Senator from New Hampshire for six years, from pext Mareh \* ee General Scottand the War Department. After finishing “a hasty plate of soup,” we sat down yesterday and read through thecorrespond- ence between Gen. Scott and the War Depart- ment; and a more strange and wayward corres- pondence never was before published. For some days the most exaggerated and contradictory re- ports have been in circulation, in relation to this correspondence. It presents some of the most extraordinary points of sense and absurdity, that have ever been laid before the public. Gen. Scott, by his conduct in this affair, has, we fenr, sullied the reputation of a life-time, by manilesting a spirit of disobedience to the com- mands of his official superiors, The President, by proffering him the command of the army, paid him a high compliment; and his refusal of that command is caleulated to destroy his formerly de- served popularity with the nation. No excuse can palliate, in a military man,disobedience to the or- ders ofa superior. The letters.of Secretary Mar- cy annihilate all the excuses sét up by Gen. Scott, and leave him without the slightest pretext for his disobedience. It was evidently the intention of the President | onthe occasion of Mrs. Jones’s benefit. The play se- to give him the command of the army on the Rio | Grande, and in this intention he was seeonded by the War Department, as we see by this corres- pondence; and certainly by the voice of the entire | tothe publication of this correspondence, was more popular, or more deservedly so, than Gen. Scott; and the whole country looked to the Presi- dent to invest him with the command of the army against Mexico. We find that the President per- formed his duty by promptly tendering him that command; and he, under theinfluence of feelings _ jj for which we cannot account, raised trifling objec- tionsand excuses, urged delays, and at length peremptorjly declined the appointment. Under those circumstances,it was manifestly the duty of the President to retract his orders. We speak of this affair, with feelings of tho high military talents and bravery. erto held a high rank in the regard of his country- | pricks and mortar, it men; and we feel pained and mortified, that by an ill-advised show of petulance, in a crisis | such moment to the destinies of the country, he should have jeopardized the popularity of a life- time. His patriotism and bravery are entirely above suspicion, but through mistaken pique at some imaginary hostility on the part of the Presi- | der ey dent, he has, we fear, blasted his future prospects. | | seen a larger assemblage than charming place last evening.

Their conduct has been dispassionate, calm and patriotic; and the publication of this cor- respondence successfully vindicates them from the charge of partiality and prejudice.. We regret to find that a spirit of insubordina- tion has lately manifested itself in the higher ranks of the army. This insubordination is the result of political ambition, and is calculated to | lead to the destruction of all military discipline.— | We find distinguished officers squaring their con- | duct, even at most important public junctures, | not according to the single-minded dictates of mi- | litary duty, but with ulterior views to political ad- vancement. Had General Scott assumed the command of the army against Mexico, and acted, as he doubtless would have done, with the same bravery that distinguished him in the last war, on the Niagara frontier, he need not have feared any enemies “in his rear ;” he would have made been possible to injure him in the estimation of his fellow citizens. This same spirit of military insubordination was exemplified in the conduct of Gen. Worth, | alias Morocco Dresser, breakin; | chance was out—the former winning in 9 , but had not fell behind, which he was not ab enemy was actually coming to close quarters.— | Had General Worth not been known to be as | brave an officer as ever handled a sword, and as worthy in every respect as he is brave, his 1epu- tation would have been destroyed by this single ill-advised act of resigning his command, at a momentous crisis, on a mere point of etiquette. General Scott has been suspended, and re. , moved from ahigh command, for his tardiness,and | ultimate refusal to obey orders, as well as for | clus | other things. General Gaines has been suspen- ded, and called to Washington, for his zeal in going beyond his orders. But we think that the voice of the country will excuse and sustain Gen- eral Gaines, for his promptitude in mustering troops for the rescue of General Taylor, at a time | cell when the latter appeared to be in a very critical position. Noonecan doubt the purity of Gene- ral Gaines’s motives; and even if he did tran- scend the orders of the department, in mustering a men into the service, it was no more than Amonj should be excused in a general officer in command of a division, at a distance from Head Quarters, and jealous of the honor of ourarms.
