NEW YORK HERALD. ‘ew York, Tuesday, June 30, 1846. THE MAILS BY THE STEAM SHIP CALEDONIA. THE HERALD FOR EUROPE. ‘The fifth number of this interesting sheet will be ready for delivery at2this afternoon. This paper was estab- Ushod expressly for circulation in Europe, and will al- ways contain the latest political intelligence of interest from all parts of the American continent, and a compend of shipping, commercial, congressional, theatrical and fash- ionable information, that no other journal can furnish. It will, likewise, be embellished, from time to time, with engravings representing graphically the most stirring events of the day. In to-day’s edition we will have a portrait of the Mexi- can General, De Vega, engraved from a daguerreotype Likeness of the captive officer ; an engraving representing the Rancheros of Mexico, in their native costume, ix pur- suit of buffalo ; a view of San‘a Fe ; a scene in the battle of Resaca Do La Palma ; a view of the gold mines of Real Dolores in New Mexico; and a view of Chihushua from the Santa Fe trail. Each of these engravings will be illustrated by descriptions taken from the several authors who have written on the persons and places represented. This is the most valuable paper, in the present juncture of affairs, that can be transmitted to England. It will be for sale at our regular agencies in Boston and Philadel- phia, and at the counter of our office in New York, at six cents per copy, in wrappers, and ready for mailing. To subscribers it will be furnished at $3 per annum In consequence of the great favor this paper has met | of the President of the United States. Gen. Arm- | with more kindness and consideration than with, we shall issue a greater number for the Caledonia | strong, our present excellent consul at Liverpool; | by any other nation on this .continent.— than we have yetissued. The letter bags of this steam- er will close at half past 4 o'clock this afternoon. The Weekly Herald. The Weekly Herald of this week will be issued on Friday next instead of Saturday—the latter day coming on the Fourth of July. The news from Mexico which we published in yesterday’s paper, and which we give more in de- tail today, is deserving of more than a passing notice. It appears that Arista had been removed from tae command of the army, and Gen. Mejia placed in his siead. The most important item, however, is the declaration of independence of Yucatan, and its disseverance from the Mexican republic—a step fraught with momentous consequences.— The State of Tamaulipas has been in a state of insurrection for some time past. Yucatan has declared her independence, and we are in- formed from a source entitled to credit, that a number of the most influential citizens of Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and one or two other provinces, have submitted proposals to the Ame- rican government, entreating a cessation of the | war, as far as those States are concerned, and im- | ploring our protection while they form these States | into a republic, with the view of eventually inoor- porating their destiny with that of the United States. \ This deserves to be looked upon as the most im- | portant piece of intelligence that we have received | from Mexico in along time. It shows clearly that | the long series of misrule on the part of the mili- tary dictators, is at last about to produce its results. It is probable the movement will not stop until Mexico has lost the principal part of her territory, head of an army of 12,000 men, on his way to Monterey. Instead of opposition, the gates of Mexican towns are flung open for the reception of his forces. The enemy may concentrate and give him battle at Monterey, though the General himself thinks there will be no decided engage- ment until he reaghes the city of Mexico. Col. Kearney is pushing on his Western forces for Santa Fe, which is being strongly | fortified by the Mexicans. The force concentra- ting there will number probably 8,000 or 10,000, under the command of Gen. Wool, who, after overrunning New Mexico, will jom his forces with those under Gen. Taylor, and march for the capital. Nothing can save the existence of the republic of Mexico but early proffers of peace, | made in good faith. Yucatan, one of the best States of the Republic, has declared herself independent, and is anxious to blend her stars with those of the “‘ Republic of the North.” The voice of her people must de- cide. From all appearances this war cannot long continue. Theenemy already appears to be | Scattered and broken. The well-timed and ener- | getic action of the administration, and the saga- | city and bravery of General Taylor andhis brave little army, has evidenily carried dismay into | the enemy’s country, and we may say that Mexi- co is, in fact, at this moment in possession of the United States. Where, we would ask, is M. Guizot’s balance of power ? Commissions 1N Expgctancy.—We perceive that three civilians have been named for the va- | cant Brigadier-Generalsbips now at the disposal | | Mr. Barrow, U.S. Senator from Louisana; and the Hon. Caleb Cushing, late minister to China. | We feel confident that all of these gentlemen | | Possess patriotism and bravery, sufficient to fill Tne Farenpty Inpian Tames. year,a very large representation of the red men of the forest, at the sent of the national government. Several tribes have sent delegates to Washington, for the purpose of cementing a lasting friendship between their nation and the great father of the pale faces, as they call the President of the Uni- ted States. The tribes on our South Western borders, have manifested the most friendly feel- ing towards the United States, and have sent on their chiefs to give intimation of their amicable disposition towards us. Among those who have sent representatives to Washington, are the Camanches, the Miamis, the Cherokees, and the Kansas Indians. We are glad that these delegations have been sent, as the visit will tend to impress those unsophisticated | sons of the desert with some idea of the strength, | civilize.tion and importance of the United States, | and will furnish them with a theme for expatia- ting upon to their brethren at home, thus serving to inspire them with respect for our nation. This binding of the Indian tribes in a treaty of friendship with the United States, will be an as- surance of'strength to this country, in time of war, that will have a very material influence en our success in prosecuting hostilities with a foreign nation. Hitherto a chief reliance of European | nations, when threatening war with the United | States, has been the facility with which they pro- mised themselves they could stir up the Indian tribes against us. Now, those same European powers will be less likely to “dig up the hatchet” when they learn that the Indian tribes on our bor- ders are our friends and allies. The red man has been treated by | | | Our missionaries have won them by de- grees from barbarism to civilization, and the fruits of this kindness and attention are daily manifesting themselves in the increased friendli- | any military rank, and that their appointment | would afford a great deal of satisfaction, so far as | their own advancement is concerned. But we | very much doubt the expediency or justice of | | Promoting civilians to military pusts of impor- | tance, requiring great experience and skill, and | for which bravery is one of the smallest requisites, | over the heads of military men of acknowledged | bravery, skill and experience, aud whose valour, | energy, and endurance have contributed in a | great degree, to secure the late glorious victories that have graced our arms. | General Armstrong, we are convinced, does | | not desire any such appointment. His talents are | | well employed in his present distinguished po- | sition, as American consul at the greatest com- | mereial port in the world; and though his talents | would qualify him for any station, yet we doubt | if he would be willing to relinquish his present | post, until he has carried out such measures in | connection with his office, as will forever identify | his name with the Amerean consulate of Liver- pool. Ifhe is, however, to leave the Consulate we know of few men who would make a better General. Mr. Barrow, though possessing high qualities ‘as a civilian and Senator, is not, nor has he ever been, a military man. It is said Mat-he received | part of his education at West Point. But the very fact of his leavirg that academy without gradu- ating, argues his want of military knowledge— | and his life,spent in the quietude of civil pursuits, | argues a want of experience necessary for such a position as that of General of brigade, upon whose or until that country is blotted out from the faraily | military skill, experience, and strategy, the fate of nations, Doings in Washington—Congressional Move- ments, The Senate acted upon a variety of bills, bat made no progress of consequence in disposing of them. One very important thing was accom- plished, in relation to the meeting of that body, which we think is indicative of a determination to push business more rapidly, and, if possible, get through some time before the first Monday in | December next. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has been called upon for estimates of revenue to be derived from the measures proposed in his report. The bill in relation to a tariff of prices for pub- lic lands, to be regulated by the length of time | they have been in the market, will, without doubt, | pass. It will add very much to the revenue from this source, and give a great impetus to emigra- tion. During the debate upon this bill, a message was received from the President, and the Senate went into Executive session. The tariff is dragging its slow length along in the House, and the members appear determined | to make much of the time allgtted for the diseus- | sion of that measure. As yet, no new light has | been thrown upon the subject, and the same old | worn-out arguments have been offered in favor | of, and against any reduction upon the present average. The fate of the tariff act of 1842, is very | doubtful, so much so, that it is difficult to form “ny correct opinion in relation to the matter; but our impression is, that no material alteration will be fmade—at all events, no reduction of conse- quence in the protective features of the present act. Organization of an Expedition to Califor- | nia—The Progress of the War with Mexi- co—Military and Naval Enthusiasm. One of the most important movements of the day is the coritemplated expedition to California. This expedition will consist of a force of two thou- sand young men, selected from the best class of mechanics and laborers of the middle and eastern States, and will go in the capacity of soldier and emigrant. They are te be fully officered and equipped, and receive the full pay of U. 8. volunteers, so long as | their services may be required by the general government in their war with Mexico; at the close of which they are discharged, each receiving three hundred and twenty acres of land in California, on which they are bound to settle. This is cer- tainly a wise and judicious movement of the ad- ministration, and appears to meet the approbation of all interests; and its popularity among the class of men required, is evident from the fact that a large number, even before the preliminary ar- rangements are made, have signified their desire to join this political crusade. One or two vessels, we learn, are about being sent to the same destination, freighted with stores, small arms, and ammunition, together with a very | large number of heavy pieces of ordnance, more than half of which are 60 and 120 pound Paixhan guns. Itis stated that the U. 8. ship of the line Penn- sylvania, 120 guns, and the North Carolina and Ohio, rated as 74’s, but each carrying 100 guns, are ordered to be fitted immediately for sea; but what is to be their destination is as as yet a secret | ef the administration. True it is, there never has been so much activi- ty in our several navy yards as at this moment, where there are between three and four thousand mechanics and laborers most actively engaged in putting things to rights. These movements, we had supposed, woulo cease after the settlement of the Oregon question; but the same secret energy and activity continue now that existed for some time previous to the profitable arrangement to us of that question. Mr. Benton asserted that the 49th parallel was the fighting line for us, and on that line the government evidently intended to “drive stakes ;” but what the move now is, is more than has been allowed to see the light. Something is evidently in the wind. The proba bility is, if we mistake not, that the President will make good his assertion in his annual mes- tage, that “no European power would be per- rhitted to interfere with the political affairs of this continent.” Gen. Taylor is probably at this moment at the | Brevet Major General. | of an entire army often depends, The same objections apply with quite as force to Mr. Cushing. | We hope, then, that the selection will be made | from among the officers of our gallant little army, whose age, experience, length of service, and bra- | very, give them a claim on their country for that | much | é | mouth and in the shock of battle. It would be | invidious to name any,among the many who have | distinguished themselves. It is the province of | the Executive to make the selection, and we hope | it will be made with such discrimination as will | meet the approbation of the entire country. Promotion or THE Orricers 1N Gen. TayLor’s Commanp.—When the tidings of the brilliant vic- tories at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma reach- | ed the ears of the President, in obedience to the | dictates of his own sense of right, and in accord- ance with the wishes of the whole people, he at once promoted the hero of them to the rank of In the official paper of the government,in speak- | ing of the promotion of Gen. Taylor, it was stated, that when the official returns of the battles had | been received, officers of a lower rank, who had distinguished themselves in them, would be re- | membered by the President. This delay w s, of course, very properly based upon the supposition that with the official returns, he would obtain the facts in regard to the brave conduct of the offi- | cers in General Taylor’s command, and be able to apportion the honors of promotion among | them in accordance with the merit attached to them. ‘Lhe official returns of General Taylox, which speak in the highest terms of praise of many of the officers in his command, have been received, | and yet we hear nothing of the promotion of those gallant officers, without whom the General would have been comparativly powerless, Why are they | not promoted? There have been sufficient op- | portunities for their promotion. It is high time | | they received their rewards. Their haurels, in- stead of being suffered to fade, should be bright- ened and encouraged by the Executive—they should be sent forth to gain more. | | | American army is slow. There is no necessity for | this. There are at present about sixty West Point graduates, who are ready to step in and fill the | places of those who, by their valor, have deserved promotion. not suffered to remain longer in a state of glori- ous uncertainty. Cantnet Cxances.—There are any quantity of reports in circulation in this city and Washington, | in relation to contemplated changes in the Cabi- net. There is very good authority for, or very | little truth in any of these rumors. It is our im- | pression that the President will not at present make any removals. We do not, therefore, give any credit to the various reports which from time | totime reach us. Every one pretends to have | the best authority for saying that a complete re- organization is at hand, and that some of the lead- ing democratic Senators are to fill vacancies among the Secretaries, by foreign appointments. The present administration has been in power sixteen months, and the Cabinet remains as it was originally formed. There appears to be a perfect unanimity of feeling between the heads of the | different departments, and whatever changes may be made after the adjournment of Congress, will, we have nodoubt, be mad» to the mutual satisfaction of the parties particularly interested. Among the reports we have received, are those that Mr. Bancroft will receive the appointment of minister to Vienna—that General Semple, of Il- linois, has been offered s seatin the Cabinet— | and that Mr. Buchanan, ne longer bound by the | Oregon question, will receive whatever office out | of the Cabinet he may demand, should he con- | clude to resign his present position; but we are | impressed with the behef that whatever changes are really in contemplation, they are as yetonly | known to the executive, and those immediately concerned in the movement. | dicalism, though distinction which they have earned at the cannon’s | }; | M, James, Albany M v It has become a proverb, that promotion in the | Fi Let them be rromoted, say we, and | portland: di the | pabiehmen ness of the Indians. They will cling to no other nation with the same cordiality as to the United States, and their friendship, in time of need, is by no means to be despised. Tue Bowery Tueatre.—It is almost urmeces- sary to state that the worthy manager of the Bow- ery Theatre is not indebted to this establistinent to the amount of a single copper. We mention | this in justice to Mr. Jackson, because it has been stated somewhere that he was in our debt. We never presented a bill to him the second time. | INTELLIGENCE FROM CANADA AND THE Provinces. —Our advices from Montreal are of the 27th, from | Quebec of the 25th, and from Toronto of the 23d | instant, all inclusive. The Canadian papers seem to be altogether at fault as to the breaking up of the ministry. It | seems certain, however, that Mr. Sherwood has | resigned, that Mr. Papineau goes out, and that Sir Allen McNab is to be Adjutant General. The Montreal Herald of the 27th, complains bit- | terly of the ignorance displayed by the English Parliament with regard to Canadian affairs. This | is, at the present crisis, very significant. It does not threaten a separation, but speaks of the policy | of the English government as calculated to lead to | such an event. It recommends the following three modes of relief for the evils resulting to | Canada from the passage of the corn bill:— | First, the remission of the interest on the capital ex- pended on our public works. Second, the entire repeal | of the duty on our exports of grain—end, third, the re- moval of all commercial restrictions in favor of British manufactures, and some modification of the navigation laws, by which foreign shipping may be permitted to transport our produce to the home markets. Tt adds: t friends of Canada have lately bccn at | in great numbers; let them now show their since- | rity. ‘Let Lord George Bentinck propose the abolition of differential duties: let Lord Stanley press the removal of the 1s. per quarter now levied upon our grain; and let litle Roebuck—for the proposal savors somewhat of ra- ifectly just in fact—see if he cannot obtain the remission ef the interest on our debt, until the great experiment before us is fairly tried; and, if these | measures be carried, we shall be satisfied that all as been done for us which the principles of free-trade now in vogue will admit of. | The following is a statement of the eat of | timber measured by the Supervisor of Cutters in Quebec, during the years 1844, 1545, and 1846, up to the 24th of June in each year.

She appeared in the character of Constance, in Knowles’s comedy of the “ Love Chaso,” and Joseph, | im the farce of ‘ The Young Scamp.” and elicited a flat- | mount of applause, during the evening.

After this, the new drama of ‘The Butch. | er’s Dog of Ghent” was played. This evening, that sterling comedian, Mr. Hadaway, takes a benefit.

Gagenwicu Turatne.—Tho “French Spy” was ad- mirably played at this gem of a theatre lest evening, to the manifest delight of quite a res le house.— “ William Tell,” that noble produgtion of the greatest of modern dramatists, was performed with considerable talent, although we cannot accord the highest praise to Mr. Freer’s personation of the hero. There was almost too much devotion to effect, and too little attention to the minuter polats which are essential to masterly acting. On the whole, however, A very attractive bill is offered for to-night, and we trust that many will embrace the opportunity of enjoying cheap and rational amusement. Henn Atexanpea.—This gentleman’s amazing powers of deception were again exercised last evening, to the surprise and delight of a very respectable audience. No adept in the science of legerdemain, who has ever visited this country, has created such a sensation as Herr Alex- ander. ‘This is owing to the fact, that his dexterity is the effect of hard study, talent, and severe practice. He has made himeelf intimate with every science that can con- tribute to his success, such as chemistry. pneumatics, optics, natural magic, &c. &c., and the result is the most soy deception of the senses of his audience. As this is his last week, no one should neglect to visit Palmo’s, who has not done so already. Tue AutecHanians.—This talented band of vocalists gave enother concert last evening at the Apollo Rooms, and were quite as successful, and as warmly received, asattheir firsttwo. Their songs were sung in perfect taste, and with such’good execution as evidently to sur’ prise as well as delight their audience. We once ortwice t strength, depth and volume oe rh fon that, by ening, he contributed itertainment. He has brought it to harmonize most admirably with the less powerful voices of his associs and their concord is really delightful. ry reason to believe that the Alleghanians will be as Popular as any other band of vocalists that have appeared here for many years.

Tho audi- ence was large and fashionable, and seemed delighted with the excellent acting.

On the 23d a concert would be given, bri thing most of the foreign and native talent in the island.

Gi Howarp Crosay, pth delive: In his opening remarks he took occasion to advert to the nature and character of man in his social c: . Man was originally a perfect being ; but when woman red, his destiny was complete. The bond of union een man and mankind was worthy of their attention ; and the Divine injaneticn laid down certain principles which should guide society, and man was not destined to abuse the gifts of the Creator. Man may pursue wealth; and there was nothing to peeves it, provided he did not abuse it. The love of wealth could not be com to friend- ship or love of the individual. The rel yn of Jesus taught man how to pursue the true course of eternal hap- piness, but society always needed and always will need reform. A monied aristocracy—the worshippers of the “golden calf,” were an abuse of society, and should not be tolerated The finest trait of human character was pure holy friendship—such-as that of Damon andPythias, and other instances which were to be found in the Leland The orator went on to say that the theory of the phreno- logists was fallacious, and that there wes but one path to true happiness—the broad path of Christianity. (Ap- plause.) ‘The socialist, however sincere in his desires to advance human happiness, yet omitted the only mesns of attaining it, namely, the sacrifice of self. Christ had his crosses and trials, and why should not man be reconciled to meetthem. Man, in fulfilling his and working out his own salvation, would enjoy ete: happiness in entering into the joy of the Lord. E.

In the last few years, I have purchased considerable hay and lime ; and, if I understand the laws, it is the duty of the inspector to see that the weigl or measure ef these articles is correct, and quality as as represented, so that I buyer) may not be imposed upon.
