LTS OS One ee a NEW YORK HERALD. eee ueaday, September 29, 1846, AFFAIRS IN MEXICO, Specini Correspondence of the N. ¥. Herald. We take this opportunity of informing our rea- , thatwe have recently completed arrang: ments, and despatched several special correspon- dents from this office, charged with the duty of communicating exclusively for this paper, eyery matter of interest that may occur within their ebservation, with in thé present campaign Mexico, which has now assumed a shape of some importance Three of these correspondents are now with the army of invasion, under General Taylor, one jition destined for California, the is with the expe under General Kearney, and one with California expedition under Col. Stevenson, ma- | king tive in all, who have been regularly detailed forthe campaign. We give in another column of this day’s Herald, the first letter from the gen- teman who has gone with Col. Stevenson’s regiment. This system of correspondence is on a larger scale, andembraces more talent than that be- longing to any other paper. The expense attend- ing, we need hardly say consequence, compa with the interest and value it will be to our patrons. The Herald for Europe. This valuable publication will be ready at pre- cisely one o’clock to-morrow afternoon. The let- ter bags of the steamer Cambria will close in this city at half past four o'clock. This number of the Hera/d for Europe will be un- usually interes'ing. It will be illustrated with the map showing the proper geographical position of these United States ; also a very funny caricature of Leopold de Meyer, the lion pianist, marching off to the tune of Marche Maracaine. All the news of the week, from Mexico, Texas, Canada ; the stute of the cotton crop, the markers, shipping intelligence, &c. &c., will also be given. Single copies can be obtained in wrappers rea- dy for mailing. The Great We: . ‘This steamer has not yet made her appearance.

We lave been Jong enongh paltered with by this wretch d nation, or rather by those who have the guidance of her affairs in their hands We have spared herlong enough. It is now time tu strike. In the consciousness of our power we bore, atthe outset of the war, innumerable in- sults before we assumed even a defensive attitude. Our soldiers were treacherously murdered, and we still refrained. At length they pitted their army against our’s, and attempted to cut off our troops. Then was the first blow struck by our forees, and it was a heavy one. Since then we, the victorious party, have actually sent friendly overtures to the Mexicans, entreating them to listen to reason, and assuring them we had no de- sire to be theirenemies. Instead of receiving our overtures in the spirit in which they were made, they have rejected them in the usual way, pro- crastination, and have left us no alternative but Strong westerly »vailed. toeonquer a peace by speedy, quick and active | operations. Var forces must now be concentrated on the capital of Mexico; and the military despots who are feeding like foul birds on the very heart of the Mexican nation, must be taught that though the United Jaws bear a sisterly regard for the repub- \'c of Mexico, that regard will not shield them from the consequences of their unhallowed selfishness. The Mexican people, apart from those under the immediate influence of the priests, are friendly to us, and we reciprocate that feeling. We do not war with them, but with those who counsel them to theirdestruction. Had Mexico afforded the same pretext for conquest to the British go- vernment, that she has to us, she would have long since been bound hand and foot, and convert- ed inte an English province. But our object is not the destruction of Mexico. We prosecute the war for the purpose of compelling peace. We rejoice to learn that our government is ma- king the most active exertions for the vigorous prosecution of the war. ceived orders io despatch immediately the troops of this division to the seat of war. General Kear- ney’s expedition is swooping down on the depart- ments of New Mexico. In that quarter there will be very little, if any resistance. General Taylor has probably met Ampudia’s force before this. If 20, another battle has been fought, and Saltillo is, | in all probability, already garrisoned by our sol- diery. An uninterrupted line of communication is thus opened between the seat of our govern- ment, Washington, and Saltillo, the key to interior of Mexico. that preparations sre also being made ‘to penetrate by the road leading from that city to the capital. The fortress of San Juan will be bombarded ; our soldiers will, at any rate, be poured into Vera Cruz, | Jalapa, Perote, Pueblo, and the other smaller cities on the road to the city of Mexico. At the same time the Commodore in the Pacific, one of the three 8s, will not be inactive. The ports on the Pacific will all fall into the hands of the squadron, under his command, and thus at tive points at once will Mexico be invaded. The whole of the immense force, divided for the pur- pose of making an attack at all these points, will be gradually concentrated on the city of Mexico; and thus will there be a ring drawn round the country gradually, narrowing its limits, until its pressure be so great as to force the Mexicans to sue for peace. There must now be no procrasti- nation, no cessation of hostilities, until Mexico pledge herself to peace. The question is asked, how can we be sure that Mexico wiil keep the peace for any lengtu of time? We are not prepered to say at present what gua- rantee we wonld be willing to accept. We should have as indemnification for the losses we have sustained, both in blood and treasure, all the territory north of the 80th degree of north latitude, from i's intersection with the Rie Grande to the Gulf of California. We should have, likewise, her bond to keep the peace, such bond to be secured by a mortgage on the richest portion of her terri- tory. Mexico might, to be sure, be able to give some of the European powers as her security, but we are averse to the intervention of any Eu- ropean power in the affairs of this continent, even should such intervention result to our benefit. The word with our goverement in this war must now be en avant. News vrom Yucatan.—By the Mexican brig Ellen, Capt. Jefferson, we have received files of the Siglo Diez y Nueve, containing intelligence to the 29th August inclusive.

The amount given in the above table embraces $198,622 56 oO stock, for the payment of which money has been deposited :n the Manhattan Bank, of which the holders of the stock have been notified, the inter- | eston which has ceased. Until this stock is sur- rendered, reimbursed and cancelled, it stands on | the books of the Canal Department, and is con- sidered outstanding canal stock. | The railroad and canal stock was issued on ac- count of sundry rai roads, and the Delaware and Hudson Canal; a large part of this stock was is- sued for the constraction of the Erie Railroad, for which the State will not receive the first fraction, its lien upon the road having been cancelled, in consideration of its being completed within a cer. tain period by a new company. | The Convention, after considerable debate upon the various plans proposed for the payment of the | State Debt, adopted the following, which will, if carried out, accomplish the important objects in | view. § 1.

For several years past our public indebtedness has been steadily increasing, a new loan for seve- } ral hundred thousand dollars having been made | within the past three months ; and had not mea- | sures been taken to not only arrest, but to reduce the debt, a few years more would have sufficed to have 'proauced embarrassments in our finan- ces of a very alarming nature. Ifthe convention do nothing more than to place the public debt in the process of liquidation, it will have done some | service. | Movements or tus Natives.—We understand | the Natives are making active exertions for the fall campaign. | They were to have nominated their candidate for governor last evening. They depend upon the success of their candidate, from the fact that | John Young is obnoxious to a large portion of the { Whig party, and a popular Native candidate | would consequently receive a large number of the | Whig votes. Charles O’Conor, the Democratic | candidate for Congress in the 6th District, will be | opposed by W. W. Campbell. The Natives ex | pect that Col. Monroe, the Whig candidate in the 6th, will resign in favor of Mr. Campbell. W. 8. | Miller is the nominee of the Natives in the 3d | District. Joseph W. Hufty is named for County | Clerk; and W. W. Lyon, of the 18h Ward, for | W224 | Sheriff. We learn that David E. Wheeler, of the 9h Ward, latea member of Assembly, has re- ceived the nomination for Congress in the 6th | District—Messrs. Ely and Woodruff being both set aside. | The Native County Convention for Duchess, | meets at Washington Hollow on Wednesday next, | to nominate county officers and delegates to the 2d District Senatorial Convention, which is to as- | semble at Newburgh. The Ulster County Con- | vention to nominate cfficers, will meet on Satur- day, October 3d. The Natives count upon from 17,000 to 20,000 votes; and if they work their cards well they may | win the disaffected portion of the Whigs over, and | thus stand a chance of success, But the Natives are great at counting. Tux Late Commovore Decatvr.— » derstand that the remains of he Ak be much lamented Commodore Decatur are to be removed from their present place of interment in Washington City, in the course,of next month; and that arrangements have already been privately | completed whereby they are to arrive at French- town on the 17th, and reach Philadelphia on the | 19th October proximo, the anniversary of the day | on which he capsured the British frigate Macedo. | nian, when there will be such a parade as has been seldom before witnessed.

Wuia Nommations.—The whigs of this city, at a late hour last ovening, decided upon the following names as candidates for Assemncy. Ward. Ward. 4th—Richard $ Williams. 16th—Robert G.

Taylor for County Clerk. Native Nosunations.—The natives of this city nomi- nated a candidate for Governor last evening, but the name has net transpired, owing to their unwillingness to have the nomination published till it is accepted. Harris Wilson, of the 3d Ward, was nominated as Senator. wu ‘The democrats have carried the Territory Wards. $th—Wm. B. Meach. 1oth—Richard Scott. 12th—Thomss Carnley. 18th— William, Tyson. ldth—E.

Panx Tueatne.—Shokspeare’stragedy of “Romeo and Juliet,” and the farce of the “Irish Tutor” were per formed here last evening. Mrs. Mowatt acted the cha- racter of Juliet, and Mr Davenport Romeo. Of Mrs. Mowatt’s acting, we consider it unnecessary to say more than that it was equal to her best efforts on any former occasion, and seemed to be well appreciated by the audi- ence. She received a hearty welcome on her return to the Park boards, and was called out at the fall of the cur tain. Mr. Davenport's Romeo was a capital piece of act- ing, although we thought it was not sufficiently impas- sioned. Hus conception of the character is good, but we hope to see him carry it out better another ti Mr. Dyott’s Mercutio was performed in that chaste and finished style characteristic of this talented actor.

We must not forget | to mention the Catharine of Mrs. Booth. In parts which re- | quire the dare-devil assumption of male attire, this lady has few equals, and is a valuable member of the Bowery company. Mr. Booth too as the old Count is worthy of commendation; also, Mr. Milner, who played Uirie with ere and judgment. To-night Mrs. Shaw appears in“ Jon.” Garenwicn Tueatre.—Notwithstanding the number) of evening attractions at present in our city, Mr. Freer, the manager of this theatre, seoms determined to be even with all in the rapid succession with which he produces novelty after novelty at this theatre.

The amphitheatre was crowded from ec} . A great portion of the audience were (pS u greater Humber than were ever in the Ag at one time before. Mm. Ausxaxprn—On account of the indisposition of gentlemen, his first appearance is postponed from Monday night next to the Thursday following. When he does exhibit his wonderful legerdemanic skill, we predict that he will create a new feature inthe art of magic. Ma. Cou.iins.—This sterling Irish comedian has just returned from a highly successful engagement in Phila delphia and Baltimore, where he had overflowing houses, and most enthusiastic audiences. We rejoice to find that the merits of this highly accomplished and finished actor are being duly appreciated in this country, as they were inevery part of England and Ireland where he has ap- peared. Mr. Collins is one of the most discriminating actors that ever red on the Arrerican boards. He has ali the fun, wit, humor, snd drotlery that distin- guish the genuine devil-may-care [rishmen. He posses- init, and e jaunty gait, peed in it, and a . nations there js nothing of caricature which some actors | it jokes and his songs ore given with a genuine hearty Irish humor, which is as rare as it is refreshing.

Apotuer Sran.—Another new musical star has sud- gat arisen on our horizon. Madame Ablamowise, an English lady, married to a forcigner, issaid by the best of our critics, who have heard her in private, tobe a very great musical wonder. Asa vocalist she is said to be superior to any who have yet been among us, and as a pianist and general musician, equal to our best profes- sors. We expect tohear her ina few days, when we shall say more about her. Ma. Temrteton.—The Montreal Herald of 26th inst., says :—This pleasing and accomplished artist will, we understand, return to Europe in the Great Western- which leaves New York on the 8th proximo. comnletet most successful and extensive tour throug! the United States Sanada In both countries, success would seem to ittended him wherever he went— from Boston to New Orleans, from St. Louis to Quebec --and he now returns, with increased fame and fortune, to redeem bis pledge to his first patrons and admirers, in “the old country,” of appearing before them during th ensuing season. ' Eleven years have now passed since we first heard Templeton—who, then, with the enchant- ing Malibran, was nightly electrifying crowded audi- ences at Drury Lane and Covent Garden—and we cannot discover that time has, in any respect, affected the rich- ness and power of his voice, the grand swell of his open chest notes, or the ripened sweetness of his mezzo voce. Mr. Templeton carries with him to Europe, the thanks and good wishes of thousands of admirers on this conti- nent, who, we would remind him, Jook forward with pleasure, to his promised return in 1848. Police Intelligence. Sret.28.—.frrest of an old Pickpocket.—Officers Nel son and Cowen of the Ist ward, arrested yesterday about 1 o’clock, Joseph Outhwaite alias Alderson alias Jump ing Jo, an old pickpocket, who was detected in the act of pesing the pocket of Mr. B. Crowther, in the auction store of Austin & Spicer, No. 24 William street, of a purse containing $4. It appears that Mr. Bates one of the sales- men in the above. store, observed this sneaking aroun re gentlemen inthe store, and kept his eye on him until he saw him make the attempt on Mr. Crowther, when he was arrest- ed and conducted before the Chief of Police, where he was identified as being an old offender ; he having been convicted in September, 1844, of grand eny, for pick- the pocket of a gentleman in ‘latreet. However, judgment wes suspended at the time, in consequence of ‘the case being carried up to the Supreme Court; in the mean time, he straw bail, and was set at large to operate on pockets to obtain funds to pay counsel. In January last, the Supreme coust, confirmed the jud ment, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest ; has evaded the vigilance of the police until yesterday he was caught at his old tricks. This fellow isa brother- in-law of Bill Hoppy, who is now in the state prison, for robbing the jewelry store ofMr. Rockwell, some three years since. Justice Osborn, committed Jo on the old conviction, to await his sentence at the opening of the court next month. Arrest for Gambling —Captain Buck, of the 3d ward lice, arrested, yesterday, Isidore Joseph, one of the rm of Joreph & Berry, keepers of a gambling house at No.6 Park e, on a charge preferred against him by a Mr. Ebenezer B.

On enquiry being made why Duchess was not there to con- tend for the purse, we were informed that she had been sold to a gentleman, who had taken her away from this neighborhood, and, of course, could not be forthcoming. Some murmurs of disapprobation were uttered by indi- viduals who had money staxed on her, she being looked toas a high card by those who had taken the field against Lady Suffolk, which was the principal state of the betting ; in fact, with the exception of a few bets be, tween Moscow aud Americus as to which would take the second purse, there were none other offered or asked. To say anything here of the day, or weather, would be superfluous, for everybody is aware that no better could be desired. The roads leading to the course, from the different ferries, and from all parts of Long Island, were lined with vehicles of every description, from the magnificent private barouche and pair to the more ho: ly and unostentatious vehicle used by a mueh needed though not very stylish portion of our fellow citizens. — The railroad cars, too, were densely crowded by another class of the admirers of sporting—those who neither keep a fast horse nor drive a vegetable cart, but preferred this more quiet and easy mode of conveyance. Before the hour for the cars to start hed arrived, every seat was fill- ed in the seven large cars provided by the railroad com- pany, and hundreds were unable to obtain places.

We estimated the number in the railroad cars at from 1200 to 1500—the tetal number at the course may be set down at about 2000, including all sorts. On arriving onthe ground, as soon as the immense body of men had shaken the dust from their garments, and refreshed their inner man with a little of the liquid ing became brisk. even against the field. and s amount, were invested.

The inside of the track was supposed to be the heaviest part of it, which drew forth this discussion. The drivers then moved their horses down the track for another attempt at a start,but this also was a failure. Atthe third trial, however, they were more fortunate, and they passed the stand well together ; if anything, Moscow had a trifling advantage in the lead ; but it was of little service to him, for he broke up before he had gone a hundred 5 which left him far in the rear.
