caday, July 29, 1846, THE PASSAGE or THE NOW TARIFF BILL In the Senate, WITH AN UNIMPORTANT AMENDMENT. The long agony isover. After a period of the most intense excitement, the new tariff bill was concluded to be ongrossed by the casting vote of the Vice President, and finally passed in the Se- nate by a vote of 23 to 27, Mr. Jarnagin voting in favor of the bill. ‘Thus the Ad Valorem Tariff is almost the law of the land. The course Mr. Jarnagin has pursued in rela- tion to this question, cannot be condemned by any one of his own political party and friends of the present toriff’ His attempt to throw the respon- sibility upon the VicePresident, by compelling him to vote for the engrossment, has failed. Mr. Dal- {as has cast his vote in accordance with his political princiyles, and independent of all personal con- | siderations or popularity, while Senator Jarnagin | by the course he has pursued, has suffered the | uew billto pass. He has not, as yet, the credit of | even following his inclinations. The %h section of the new bill, or a portion | of it, upon motion of Mr, Webster, was stricken out. This section is not an important one. There is no doubt but that the House will agree to this amendment; and the ad va- Jorem tariff will, before the expiration of ano- | ther week, probably be a law of the land. We have nothing more to say at this late | hour in re'ation to the result of this question, The public mind will soon become settled, when we vegan ’ . | do with your excuses,’ I replied ; ‘I spoke in on shail be better able to judge what the actual ope: count of yane teal to, pe ree wie, ration and effect of the new bill will be.

Besides this, the Americans had cut out one or two small Mexican vessels This is the gist of the news relating to the squa- dron from Vera Cruz. | The most important piece of intelligence from the.army is the proclamation of General Taylor to the Mexicans, preparatory to throwing his troops forward to Camargo and Monterey. This Proclamation is characteristic of ‘ Old Rough and Ready,” and cannot fail to have a powerful effect on the Mexican people. It is brief, clearly whiten, full of meaning, and strikes at the vulne- | rable pwints of the Mexicans, in a style that seems to belong exclusively to General Taylor. On the outside of this day’s Herald will be found the details of the news.

M. C. Delacour, endorses the truth of the statement of Captain Scott, and, makmg no apology for the gross language em- ployed by him, in calling Capt. S. a “damned rascal,” justifies his owu proceedings, and signi- fies his intention of acting in the same manner on all future occasions. We give only that part of the letter relating to the affair, as it occured from the time, when, after the Lieutenant’s visit to Capt. Scott, a conversation ensued between the latter and the most philosophical commander of the steamer. This was subsequent to his compli- mentary epithet bestowed on Capt. Scott. “ Understanding that Capt. Scott spoke French, I ad- dressed him in “hat patie , a8 follows :—' Captain of the Catharine, I ask ipa. to holst your colors, inasmuch as | have mine; and if you do not comply, you insult the flag under which I sail’ He rey that had not shown his colors because I had injured him in my re- He asked that I would | Pardon him. ‘Ihave nothing to fe answe and then I will see what He said he wou tars and stripe: do as I de- raised, T said it.

In the revenue laws of the United States, it is not only the duty of our officers to protect our com- merce from contrabandists, but also to assist and relieve all distressed vessels that may be found upon our coasts. Their orders are to cruise in sun and snow, in heat and cold, by day and by night, to give relief to the suffering sailor. Thisisa duty which, upon examination, we will find to be €ven paramount to the mere prevention of smug- gling. The immense number of marine disas- ters, which are annually occurring along our coasts, render it a duty of the highest importance, as well as danger, and too much credit cannot be given to those who cleverly perform it. duct of the French comminderisa di his navy and his country ; and that such conduct does much to alienate the feelings of friendship, that have ever existed between us and France.

Who, then, will say that, independent | of the consideration of smuggling, the revenue establishment is not of the highest value to our commerce 7 But there is another good point about our reve- nue service.

We have now a lot of these letters on hand, which would fill an ordinary travelling trunk. i These we have received within the last three months; and if a remedy which we are about to adopt should fail in making some change for the better in the management of the post-office in thi: tries, on similar occasions,a difficulty in procuring | city, we mean to support the postmaster for the right sort of men.

Itis but a few months since the crews of the revenue cutters were drafted into the regular ser- vioe, and yet their successors are already suffi- ciently weil drilled, to become, at any moment, efficient hands on board a regular man-of-war.
