The floor of the Senate having been conceded to Mr, Ira Harris, yesterday, for a mighty assault upon the de. mestic institutions of the southern portions of the Union, and for the further fomemtation of an eminently critical and dangerous subject, that gentleman arose this morn- ing while the Senate wax in committee of the whole, and while the question before the Senate was upon the p sage of the avtislavery resolutions introduced into the Senate by Mr. Hall. The corridors and aisles, and the seats outside the bar of ty.e chamber, were filled up with a jostling multitude of men and women, as always, Iam lad to say, amatter of immense magnitude, like this affair of —— into the Senate. Mr. Harris eat, Boers, the Sheridan of this ci it wit in America, andgthe man Pewter pitcher before Senator Putnam, peaking Gzainst time last winter, gravely Perpetrated one of the ugliest and most crue! jokes I ever heard of. It was jum when Harris, exhausted with juccessful experiments,” had sat down to enjoy the felicitous position in whiclt ho found himself. It was in the shape of a revolution, and it was double edged. It served to remind Harris of his constituency, and to prove the entire imp-acticability of his speech. ‘It positively rable gentieman in an awful manner.

The resolution waa received with a storm of laughter; no vote wastake upon it. In the House, Mr. Orton, from the printing committee, reported in favor of printing 1950 copies ot the majority report of the commissioners in relation to the location of the New York and Erie Railroad, for the use of the Le: gislature, and 150 copies extra for the use of the commis sioners. ‘The report was agreed to, with the provision that the minority report of the commissioners should be printed with the majority report.

(From the Weshingtqn Union, Jan. 18.] | ular movements in the extreme south | of Mexico—the States or provinces of Yucatan and Ta- basco—are of a singular and somewhat suspicious na- | ture. On the 19th of November last, a pronunciamento, or declaration, against the government of Mexico, took | place at San Juan de Bautista, the capital of Tabasco, | under the auspices of the governor, Traconis. The im- mediate cause alleged for this movement, was the refusal on the part of the general government of Mexico to comply’ with a requisition of Governor Treconis for 1500 | muskets for the defence of the State. This refusal Gov- ernor Traconis chose to construe asa determination on the part of the government to leave Tabasco to its own resources, and he complained bitterly of it as a most un- rateful return for the valor which he had displayed in the repulse of our forces under Com. Perry, of whose men he says that he had killed and wounded more than ahundred! ‘The government endeavored to appease him, ronson. to remit to him by the first opporunity four thousand dollars, and telling him that he might pro- cure arms in Yucatan, or elsewhere, But the governor preferred to have a pronunciamento, the t panacea for all political maladies in Mexico, and forthwith de- clared the independence of Tabasco. The Diario, the Mexican officit popes attributes this movement of Gov. ‘Traconis, not to the weighty reasons assigned by him, but to the fact thathe had been superseded in his post av governor, by the appgintment of another individual,Don Justo Santa Anna. ‘The following article from a Tabasco paper, called El Temistocles, of the29th of November, was no doubt written or diatated by Governor Traconis, and gives his own views of his deeds, motives, and purposes. “We have certain and positive information that as soon as the commodore of the United States squadron, now at "rontera, was aware of the pronunciamento which took place on the 19th, in which we renounced the present government of Mexico, he hastened to make propositions to his excellency the Governor and Commandant Gene- ral, Don Juan Bautista Traconis, with the object of ri ing the blockade, and permitting national and foreign coinmerce in the State; provided that he should be aa- sured that no military supplies of any kind for the su- premo government should enter this fect We know, also, that his excellency, irritated by this offer, replied to the said commodore, that he would never enter into negotiations of any kind with the enemies of hia coun- try; and that he would prefer being conquered with the valiant troops under his command, to committing treason agai ust his country, his convictions, and his oath. He ded, also, inhis reply, that he was much astonished that the chief of the said squadron should affect to mis- understand the motives which impelled him to break ties which bound him to Mexico, because, in his mani- festo of the 20th instant, he explained, very clearly, that it was the desire to procure resources for a more vigor: ous prosecution of the war against the foreign enemy which had placed him in the exceptionable situation «in which he found himeelf, and which he would not omerge from, until he had expelled from the territory of Tabas- co ths Americans, against whom he would wage an in- cessant war, and harrass them in every way. Finally, ho concluded hia reply, by assuring the said chief, that these noble and patriotic sentiments were entertained by all the soldiers and people of Tabasco.” This determination on the part of the governor of a State conta ning a population of less than a hundred thou- sand souls, to wage an independent war war against two powerful nations, because one of them had refused ifthe means of defending itself against the other, would be imply ridiculous, but that the geographical’ position of Tabascoreniers the movements of its authorities and ople of some importance at the present moment. The [t'acconnts from ‘Tabasco, in the Mexican papers lately received, state a counter revolution had taken place, and ‘hat Senor Traconis had been left “completely iso- lated.” The State or Province of Yucatan adjoins that of Ta. basco, and contains a gy Heep of about 650 000 inhabi- tants, or 103 to a square league—being one of the most densely peopled of the Mexican States. This province declared its independence of Mexico in January last, under the auspices of the governor ,Don M chano, upon the ground that the supreme government had “placed a sacrilegious hand upon the conventions of the 14th of December, 1843” In consequence of this separation, and upon the assurances of its authorities, Yucatan was admitted by us to the enjoyment of rights of a neutral nation. But in September last, afte: the return of Santa Anna to Mexico, the difficulties be tween the general government and that of Yucatan were arranged, and she was re-admitted into the confederacy asa State. Barbachano being confirmed in his post as governor, the elections were ordered to be held in the State for deputies to the constituent congress now sitting in Mexico. Another change, however, has recently come over the spirit of he draam of Yucaten. A new pronunciamento “came off” at Campeachy, on the 8th of December last and the causes assigned fo1 and rational, though far | alted motives professed . The pro- nouncers of Yucatan commence their address to the people by stating that “the union of Yucatan with the Mexican republic, under present circumstances, without being cf any utility to the said republic, nor to Yucatan herself, subjects the latter to all the e ‘ar with o powerful nation, which, until now, played the Breatest consideration towards this country, and which as the Power of reducing it to the most frightful misery, by simply preventing the exportation of its humble pro- ductions, the only m > Thi of subsistence which its inha- commencement is @ addi once candid, ress then recites the wrongs , details the plan of the pronoun- by @ declaration which, censidering to have been suffered by them at o, does credit to the hearts of the pathetic; d from Mexico, and finish ‘ampeachy, on prolaiming this plan, otest that they are actuated solely by the right of pro: ing for their own safety, and that of the other people of Yucatan, their brethren, without ceasing to feel the strongest sympathies in favor of the Mexican people, for prosperity, happiness, and consolidation, they the most fervent vows to heaven; and they protest, likewise, that their wish and desire is that the govern- ment of Yucatan, during its temporary independence of Mexico, should be strictly governed, in its relations with foreign powers and their s y the soundest and best settled principles of public la It may appear to some that Yucatan “doth protest too much” to entitle tho commissioners, who, it ix said, are to be despatched to the United Statos, to expect a very prompt acknowledgment of the independence and non trality of a State liable to such sudden changes of con- dition, Atthe last acccunts, two distinct governments were in operation in Yucatan, Senor Barbachano at the head of one, and Senor Barret at the head of another. To complete this picture of confusion, or pretended confusion, in the south of Mexico, the Indicador of Vera Cruz, of the 23d of December, says: “General Carrera, the President of Central America, has annexed the ‘orritory of Sosouuzto, and continues paca | into the State of Chiapas; froin which fact, it appears that hostilities have commenced between that republic and ours. General Cardona is preparing to de- fond the State; it is desisable that the government sould atteud to this matter without delay, for an enemy is never to be despised, however weak he may seem, or in reality be.” , In connection with this view of Southern Mexico, so favorably situated for foreign trade, we give tho follow: ing translation of a speech, delivered by a Senor Gamboa in the Congress of Mexico, on the 11th of December, in support of a proposition made by him, that the govern- ment should enter into acontract for 150,000 muskets, 50,000 pairs of pistols, 50,000 swords, and 100 Palxhon ving ofa proper calibre for field use; the cannon to be delivered withim six month:, and the other arms within four; the whole to be paid for within two years, and the “contingent” of the States pledged for the payment The speaker takes it for granted that these supplies of arms might be introduced into the country through Yu- catan and ‘Tabasco:— “Sin :—Without arms there can be no troops, and without troops we cannot de’end ourselves against the foreign enemy, nor can the People maintain the institutions which may be established for them, of whatsoever kind they may be. A rad experi: ence has demonstrated this in the republic, and therefore the same cry has been raised, from the frozen confines of the Californin: ich are almost lost ugh want of arms, to the burning shores of Tabasco, has separated from the nati nal union in conse: ilure to send it the fifteen hundred ked of the Secretary of War thern frontier the by the tribes of ferocious attribated to the unarmed condition of thi inhabitants. It is said that if there had been arms enough at Monterey for the numbers who demanded them, the North Americans would probably not proached that place. Some ai eo the Secretary of War stated to Congress that xcellency Gen. Santa Anna required i But more than this, of the national guard, if we deduct two or three which have been armed at their own expense, the re- mainder, according toa itement which | saw aay out at the commandaney general, hay ix hundre Finally, I will it is sa bsolutely no ‘ate of defence, tructing them in their use. demonstrates the urgent necessity of procuring arms, and therefore I believe the first proposition well founded. It remains only to inquire, whether the quantity of arms which I propose is extravagant? whother the cost would be #0 great ce to exceed the means ofthe nation? and, finally, whether the mode of payment which I sug est is practicable, or, on the contrary, visionary and feveifut? * As to the first, without admit the accuracy ofre- cent estimates, which give the republic nine ns of inhabitants, | shall confine myself to the census of the population, the statistical data of which are used asa ba- nis CA government, and according to which the re- blic has a population of eight millions of inhabitants. | ‘rum these | deduct five millions, as belonging to the fe- | male sex; of the remaining three millions, | estinete as exempt from the guard two millions five hundred thou- | sand; there remains, Green for military service, | & sixth part, or five hundred thousand individuels, If this | number is compared with the armament which | «ug ‘est, which will furnish only a hundred und twenty-five fNousend mon, I believe het my estimate will not be con | the nation wi |MEXICAN RUPUBLIC, sidered excossive or exaggerated, since there will still be | wanting arms for two thirds. “* With respect to the question whether the finances of mit of this outlay, I shell remark that, according to the calculation which I have made from in- formation derived from weil informed persons, the total | cost will be very little more than amillion ofdollars. [f it is considered and recollected how many sums much | greater than this are frequently asked for andemployed in objects of no useful result, it will be admitted that, al- | though the expenditure in question would be a consider. | one, it ought to be regarded as one of those which juire an immediate determination. With respect to the mode of meeting the expendi ture, which is th point, I shall briefly state to the Congress, that as the amount of the contingent exceeds | two millions of dollars, the guaranty offered is more than | sufficient to enable the payment to be completed within | two years. The general government will experience | no diminution of its fands ; foras this armament is for the States, which are deeply interested in it, they must | comply with tho demands on them by hypothecating for | the purpose their particular reventies. In caso they | should not comply, but leave the general government to | defray the expenditure out of the contingents intended for the goneral expenditures of the conlederstion, then the result will be as provided for in another of the pro- positions, that the government will take possession of the pariioniae Tevenues of the States which do not comply, jor the purpose of retaining them, until reimbursement is made. “To all this it may be replied, that although the ob- ject of the propositions in question may be praisewor- thy, it would be useloss, because arms cannot be intro: into tl ublic. 'o this | reply, in the first place, that the iaterest of individuals is too ‘powerful not to’ deride a blockade, particularly one so ridiculous and inefliciont as that which the North Americans are carrying on. In tho second place, as | am informod, in the establishment of Wallis, in Yucatan, belonging to the aglish, there are manufactories of these arms; and itis evident that they may bo brought thence through ‘Tabasco and Oajaca, without a delay of more thantwo months. Inthe third lace, the arms may easily be brought from Europe to Wallis, and afterwards introduced into the interior.— ally, sir, manufactories may be established within the Fepadtio, whenever there is encouragement, exactness, and, above all, punctuality in the contracts. “I may have committed many errors in the preceding suppositions. The committee to which the subject be longs, with their information and judgment, can recttfy them, and make a proper statement to the sovereign Congress. I have acted from the impulse of love of my country, and in the same feeling, 1 beg the Congress to receive the proposition which | haye submitted.” LATEST FROW GEN.

The change from a territorial to a Stato government is made a source of congratulation, as well as the favorable circumstances arrived from Gen. Worth, commanding at Saltillo, with the intelligenee that Santa Anna ned to take advan- tago of the division of force Victoria, and by a rapid movement, to strike a he: blow at Saltillo; and it ) then atGen.
