The steamship Alabama has arrived at New Orleans.— | She left Brazos on the 3d inst. | No especial news of interest from Saltillo, from which it is inferred that the danger of attack was not as immi nent as at first supposed,when Gen. Worth’s express was despatched for reinforcements. The remains of Watson, Ridgley, and others, Baltimo- reans, arrived at New Orleans in the Alabama. Lieut. Boyle, of Washington, died on the passage. Dates from Matamoras, to the Ist instant, have come to | hand. | Bince last advices there have been rumors of battles, | marches and countermarches—that Gen. Wool’s column Lessee. | was cut off, Gen. Worth’s division driven back to Monte. | wey from Saltillo, and that Taylor was shut up at Mon- | terey. U2 cde: acets and ala ias tua aea Scariaies hash Camargo. Going up tho river they met a steamer with | the mail, bringing intelligence that part of the cerpsof observations, belonging to Santa Anna’s army, had been seen near Parras, where Gen. Wool’s army was encamp- | ed, and that Gen. Wool had joined Gen. Worth at Saltil- | lo, ashad Generals Twiggs and Quitman, as per previ - | ccounts. | General Patterson's division hed crossed the river at | San Fernando five days previous, and would soon reach | Victoria, its destination. | General Taylor, it was thonght, would no doubt re- | turn home as soon as Scott took command. | When Patterson reaches Victoria all the passes to San Luis will be shut up. Advices from Tampico to the 30th ult, report every thing quiet and orderly. ‘The bark Iwanowan from New York, had arrived at Tampico,with the company of artilleryunder Captain Ma, | grader. They were at once marched to camp. Mr. Chase, former United}States Consuls, had bee! pointed coJlector of the customs at Tampico. Rumors of a meditated attack on Tampico were circu lated, but were considered mere Mexican tales. (Trade and commerce were very brisk. Grest compe tition exists among the pilots, whose rates are now five | dollars per foot in, and four dollars out. There are two | associations of pilots, one American, and the other Mexi- can. A slip from Norfolk, of yesterday’s date, received here by steamboat Osceola, reports that the steamship | Mississippi had just arrived thero, from Anton Liaardo, 29th uit. On the 20th December, Commodore Perry, with seve. | ral vessels took possession of Laguna, and destroyed all | the enemy's guns and munitions of wer found in the forts | and the town. | Com. Sands, with two vessels, was left in charge off | Alvarado. | The Mississippi captured a Mexican schooner called the Amelia; and sent her to New Orleans for sale. | Purser Crosby was killed by falling from aloft, on | board the Vixen. | General Santa Anna is declared by the new Congress | duly elected President of the Republic of Mexico.— | From an examination of further files of Mexican papers, no direct action appears tohave been had upon the sub- | ject of the war by the Mexican Co ‘The Mexican papers convey the impression thet San | Luis is to be the great battle ground of the war. | Official Mexican accounts have been received of event, | at Los Angelos, on the Pacific. In the action of the 24th | September, at that place, 27 Americans were made pri- soners, and 3 wounded; one Mexican was killed, but no Americans. The cong) then laid siege to the City of Angels, and on the 30th of September the town cap it” | ulated to Flores. ‘The terms of surrender are drawn up with as much | deliberation as those of Monterey, and are detailed at | length in the New Orleans papers. General Jesup and staff, and 240 sick and discharged soldiers came passengers in the Alabama. ‘Ten o'clock, P. M. Commodore Perry arrived in Washington this evening, in the Osceola, from Norfolk, and confirms all previously stated relative to the taking of Laguna. Advices from the city of Mexico roport that our expedition against La- | guna was completely successful. Bautimons, Jan. 14, 1847. (No news from the West.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. dic., des, | TELEGRAPHIC. ‘Wasnisatos, Jan, 14, 1847, Senate. ‘The proceedings were opened in the usual form. Mr. Farnerety, chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, rose and reported a bill to provide for the ap- | pointment of an additional number of assistant surgeons for the navy. Mr. Camtenow, of the same committee, reported a bill to authorize the construction of two floating dry docks, one et Philadelphia and the other at Portsmouth. Mr. Benton, of the Military Committee, reported the ten regiments bill from the House of Representatives, to increase the army, with an amendment authorising the equipment, in addition, of regiments of infantry asivolsi geurs and foot riflemen, with rocket and mountain how- itzer battery , one or more regiments of each. ‘The bill was then taken up, and the amendment was agreed to Mr. Camenon offered an amendment, requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to issue warrants granting « quarter section of land to each non-commissioned officer and private of the army and volunteers, serving during the war, or honorably discharged before its termination Mr. Bentow asked the Senator to withdraw his amend- ment, as the commtttes did not desire to introduce any thiog extrinsic to the question. Mr. Castenon declined the withdrawal of his nd. | ment. He said he thought that would be losing a good | opportunity to urge his proposition, or that it would be | an opportunity irrecoverably lost. The poor soldiers in our army get nothing but their reguler pay, and emolu- ments, such asa ration a day. He thought we, as a na | tion, owed this measure to those who will defend our flag, and fight the battles of their country. It was no- light thing to leave their homes, their altars, their fire sides, and brave death at the cannon’s mouth. Several Senators suggested that the amendment was an imperfect one, and said that they should vote against it{in its present shape, although thoy were favorable to ite spirit, and should advocate the object. | A lengthy and spirited debate ensued. | The bill was then, on motion of Mr. Badger, postponed | to to-morrow. Mr. Bavesy moved that the Senate take up the Graduf ation Bill. Mr. Dix offered a motion to take up the | General Bill, and | Mr. Jannacin moved to go into Executive session; utenant which motion being put, wes lont by a vote of 21 te 24. ‘The Lieutenant Genoral bill was then taken up Mr. Dix took the floor, and explained the grounds on which ppointment of a LieutenantGenoral was doem-~ ed monsure of necessity and expediency.
