Six:—Since pr oure h of April 11th, Major Cheval- lie has reached this place with » part of his command, the remainder being detached with a train now om its way up, via China. Agreeably to my orders, Major Chevallie has explored the country between China and Montemorelos, und has ascertained satisfactorily that General Urrea has left that region, and has probably re- crossed the mountains. ‘The communications are now infested only by bands of robbers, which are very nume- rousin the country. Ourescorts can thus be reduced much below the strength which it has hitherto been ne- cessary to employ. I learn that Col. Doniphan is probably by this time at Parras, on his way from Chihuahua to Saltillo, having anticipated my orders to march on the latter place. You will perceive from my orders that we have re- ceived authentic Intelligence of the full of Vera Cruz. Our latest date from the city of Mexico is March 31 on which day General Santa Anna issued un address or appeal tothe Mexican people. I do not inclose it, pre- suming that it will reach you much sooner by Vera Cruz or Tawpico. It is represented by a person who has just arrived from. San Luis, that not more than one-half of General Santa Anna’s original force was saved in the retreat after the battle of Buena Vista, and that his march isindicated by the dead strewed along the road for 60 leagues. Nearly all the troops have been withdrawn from San Luis and the adjacent positions. Tam, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Z. TAYLOR. Major General U. 8. A. Commanding.

Fremont, in California; and a letter written in Washington, assuming to speak semi-officially, d from a knowledge of the contents of unpublished despatches, mputes the supposed difference to an in- trigue of mine to place Col. Fremont in command over Gen. Kearny, and of which Gen. Kearny had got wind. He says:—* It is supposed that Gen. Kearny has reason to believe that through the influence of Col. Benton, Col, Fremont is to be, or has been, put in command over him” To put anend to the anxiety of the friends of the two absent officers on account of such reports, I will here publish an extract from a private latter from Gen.

Kearny says:—" I have not written a line to you for three months, because no opportunity pre- sented itself of sending’ a letter to you; one is now offered, by way of Panama, and I seizo a few moments, and must write, though hurriedly. * * * * * After the revolt against Capt.

Kearny of Col. Fremont, on the 14th of January last, and the praise he bestows on the raising the volunteers and on the capitulation, are well merited. Col. Fremont had gone six hundred miles to the Ameri- can settlements on the Sacramento to raise troops to re- conquer the southern halfof California, and had raised 400 men and brought them back in an ‘incredibly short space oftime, He had done this without means, und without legal authority, (for he did not then know of his own appointment as Lieutenant Colonel.) and wholly by his personul influence, and the weight of his personal r-'Dhe Mexicans marched two days to surrender to him, from their confidence in him; aud the capitulation to which he admitted them was wise, Just, and conformable to the law!of nations, He exacted no oath of allegiance from conquered men, deferring that until a definite treaty of peace should make them citizens of the United States. He treated no one usa rebel. He only exacted what the law of nations authoriz- ed, namely, a promise of submission to the conquerors, receiving in return, protection for life, liberty, and pro- perty, and prevented the war from becoming guerilla.

We have seen a letter dated Tabasco, 18th March, which says, that in consequence of the boats of the U. 8, steamer McLean having been fired upon, and two or three of the crew wounded, the steamer went up to Juanita, a small town on the river, and demanded all the arms, which, having been obtained, she returned to the mouth again.

Bebb issued the ‘documents,’ and the officer knowing that his duty, if ‘well done,’ should be ‘done quickly,’ spared his prisoner all ‘leave taking,’ and put him through town in his shirt sleeves. “Half an hundred lawyers, however, are not so easily eluded, and the prisoner, by dint of impassioned gestures and loud cries of ‘habeas corpus'—‘a lawyer'—‘a lawyer,’ made known his predicament. One of the ‘limbs’—who hysically at least is the Hercules of the bar—soon heard of the mishap of his client, and mounting the first horse, started in hot haste for the dock. "Twas all in vain, Capt. Belden had rung his ‘go ahead’ bell, and the ‘States’ promptly rounded the beacon, bound down, “To the judge went the lawyer, swearing vengeance, A writ of habeas corpus was issued, and the sheriff under the lead of counsel started for the piers. The ‘States’ in her hurry had not finished ‘wooding’ at the dock, and she lay « halfmile in the Lake, taking wood from a scow. “A small boat was chartered, and the sheriff pulled into the Lake. ‘Give me the oars, I’m the strongest,’ and with hat and coat off, his face glowing in the sun, und his locks dripping with sweat, this disciple of Black- stone gave @ ‘long pull and a strong pull’ in defence of liberty and the inviolability of the habeas corpus act. “Only ten rods now lay between the gripe of the she- riffand the ‘States,’ and with writ in hand he stood ready to execute the command of the court.

Belden—Capt. Belden—Capt. Belden, in the name of the people of the State of Ohio’—(here the ‘States’ puffed and started)— ‘G—d d-—n you, Capt. Belden,’ and the Ajax of the pro- fession sunk exhausted in the arms of the sheriff.

Indeed, beyond the fact that the Americans undoubt- edly beat off, though from a strong position, a force near- ly quadrupling their own, they seem to have no great grounds for triumph, Santa Anna's movements have been very leisurely, and there is no reason to think them otherwise than rolustary. The debatable und was between Saltilloand Agua Nueva From the latter place Santa Anna ia said to be moving on his original line of operations towards San Luis, and from the former place ‘Taylor himeelf announces his resolution of retiring to his head-quarters at Monterey. The disorganization which the American General attributes to the enemy's forces, and the composure which he ascribes to hit own, must, of course, be understood with considerable al- lowances. The operations in the Gulf are more intelligible, as they have not yet proceeded beyond the preliminaries of taking up positions. The Lobos armada sailed on the 9th of March, and landed 12,000 men, without opposition, three miles above Vera Cruz. ‘The following ‘es were oceupied in investing the city completely by land, while | the squadron blockaded all the sea approaches to the custle and port. This unresisted investment of the place probably gave rise to the report mentioned in our last advices, the town and castle had already fallen to the Americans. We have already quoted authorities in confirmation of our own surmises that the cay Vera Cruz will do little more than th pico towards coneludi less the effects of the ‘bree Million Bill should begin to be simultaneously felt. Itis at this point, however, that the real push ismade, The movement in the north was purely Mexican, nor will the American force in that quarter haye further orders brobably than to maintai such a hold on California, and the line of the Grande, as will both suggest and facilitate the peaceable transfer of these coveted districts at the consummation of a ee. The American papers contain a long communication between the President and the Secretary ofthe Trea- sury, dated the 23d of last month, from which it clearly appears that the scheme broached some time ago of oc- cupying all the Mexican sea-board, and blockading an entire empire into a capitulation, is to be seriously pros- ecuted, and that the investment of Vera Cruz is one step in the plan, The ports bothin the Atlantic and the Pacific are to be seized, and the communication across the isthmus is to be secured. Mexican duties and prohibitions are to be everywhere abolished, and sucha tarifl devised ns will best answer the ends of raising re- venue and increasing commerce. By these means it is conceived that the United States treasury will be eased of some of the burden of the war; that the new duties collected by American officers will go far to support the troops engaged in the contest; that the goodwill of neu- tral nations will be secured by an arrangement so much more favorable to all their interests than the absurd re- strictions of the old Mexican tariff; and that the Me: cans themselves will be at length circumvented into an honorable peace. We will not, at present, remark upon the long vista of blockades and sieges which this pros- pect discloses, or on the probable duration of a war which is to witness the capture of all the ports of an ex- tensive country, and which, at the commencement of its second year, has only yet seen the occupation of one and the investment of another of them. Neither will we attempt to calculate how far the opinions of neutral nations upon the whole casus belli may be qualified by the bonus held out to them in the proposed arrange- ments for the campaign. We will only say that even if all the three first expectations should be verified, but litue advance will be made towards securing tho fulfilment of the last. It is perfectly notorious to the Americans themselves that the Mexican nation can subsist in abundant comfort upon its own plateaus and leave the invaders to enjoy the sea coasts as long as they please. If they choose to indulge their obstinacy, there is nothing in this blockade to prevent them. ‘They know perfectly well that the Americans can never find men, money, or patience for the permanent occupation ofany points they may seize, otherwise they would never display somuch auxicty about the peaceable con- veyance of the property. ‘The appropriation of the Mex- ican customs may assist, but it can never reimburse, the American exchequer. ‘There will still be a growing balance against the Treasury and w growing feeling against the war. ‘Its novelty has already worn off; its injustice is daily more notorious; its expenses are hour- ly more serious, and its termination more invisible than ever. The States want part of California and the line of the Grande, They have already taken them; and if they knew the way to keep them, the business would be done. But their tenure is not worth a dollar without such consent of the Mexicans as will preclude the ne- cessity and the cost of armed occupation. is consent they are now laboring to extort; but as they, even by their most promising scheme, have to conquer and occu- py every port on either coast, while the Mexicans have nothing to do but to sit still and be sulky, it is not diff- cult to discover which party has the harder game. Emigration from Great Britain to America. (From the Liverpool Mail, April 24.) The Government of the United Stetes seeu to have adopted a most effectual method of restricting, if not wholly putting a stop to, the shoals of emigrants from this country—which have been for years, and are still weekly landed on their shores—the greater portion of them in a state of abject destitution, and considerable numbers of them laboring under pestilential diseases, Whether the plan resorted to be, or be not, in contra- vention of international treaties, we are not prepared at present to determine. One thing, however, is obvious enough, ‘The shippers of these emigrants have had no reasonable notice of the intentions of Congress in this respect. Many of them are under contract to carry a certain number of passengers, in a limited period’ of time; and as that limitation appears to be the 3ist of May next, itis impossible for them to fulfil their en- gagements. ‘rhe new American law enacts, that from and after the period above mentioned, no ships shall be allowed to enter the ports of the United States, carrying steerage passengers, which shall not have provided w space of fourteen superficial feet for each passenger, This, we are told, cannot be supplied by any British ship at pre- sent in the trade. ‘The low rate of fare which these steerage passengers are charged between Liverpool and New York, renders it necessury that a very limited space, the smallest they can possibly be stowed in, should be allowed, Hence the crowded state of our emigrant ships, the frightful confusion that prevails, and frequency of shidwreeks which we have to deplore, and the infectious fevers that too often break out during the voyage, some- times indeed before the vessel has cleared the land The American government have long had cause to lament this flood-tide of Irish emigrants, who carry with them their idle and filthy habits into every part of the world where shipping agents will convey them. It is true that the territory of the United States is sufficient- ly ample to absorb the whole, provided the emigrants themselves would resort, or had the means of resorting to the back settlements and the waste lands. But this they do not do—not one in fifty; and the great towns, on the seaboard of America, swarm with Irish beggars, in as the towns in England Ifthe people of England have just grounds for com- plaint of these Irish invasions, ‘surely the citizens of ‘America have still nger reasons for murmuring. Hence, we take it, the originof the restrictive law now promulgated. But might not we take an excellent lesson from their statute book’? Why should not the number of steerage passengers on board the steamers, trading be ween Eng- land and Ireland, be limited to a number more consonant with the usuages of humanity’ ‘These peasants are brought to these shores packed together more like pigs than human beings. No regulation is made as to water or provisions. The poor wretches come without a crust or a potatoe, and they are landed in a state of starvation. Who are benefited by these horrid cargoes and overioad- ed vessels’ ‘Che owners of the vessels alone. Who suffer?

They say in London that « dangerous building is never taken down until it falls and kills @n alderman, a common councilman, or a couple of citizens. Then a cure is applied, at that critical moment when it is too late. ‘The same may be said of Liverpool. Tho number of Irish poor who have arrived at this port from the 16th January to the 17th April instant, was, of men, women, snd children, about 128,000. About 40,000 of these are supposed to have emigrated to America, leaving about 80,000 to beg. This numier isincreasing daily, and the the number will more rapidly swell as the warm weather approaches hen we consider for a moment the wretched and filthy state in which these immigrants are,and the abominable lodging to which they must resort, the hot weather, the crammed cellars, the st the want of food, or the unwhole food, how is it possible to prevent a terrible plag hear that a public meeting is to be called on the subject -it cannot be called too soon. The Rasso-American Company. ‘The Russian colonies in the north-west of America, according to advices from St. Petersburg in the German papers; having acquired « high degree of prosperity in consequence of their excellent administration ; they have become principally important for Russia with re- ference to furs and tea, because for several years it has become evident that the fur animals have begun to diminish in the north-east of Siberia, through the inces- sant persecutions of which they are the object, or that they have retreated into the region of the north, almost innccessiblo to man, and that on the other side Russia ia no longer in a condition to pay for the tea which she annually receives from China, with the furs of Siberia which are becoming more rare, a deficit which can only be made good by the colonies before mentioned, The commercial movement of the Russo- American company amounted in 1845 to rather more than three millions of tilver rubles, The commercial operation bore principally upon furs and tea, The company imported into Kiachta 30.000 furs, which, with some other articles in request there, were exchanged against 6,100 chests of Chinese tea, the greater part of which was afterwards sold at Nishal-Novgorod, the ebief market of Russi. ‘The eom- modities necessary to the inhabitants of the colony were partly brought ‘by land frow Siberia, partly frora Cronstadt, and from England, in the vessels of the Hudson's Bay Company. Down to 184 the colonial company possessed a factory at Ochotek, which was transferred in that year to AJan, «more southerly point, and more favourably situated than Ochotsk for com- mereial operations. | From ienco It ix proporad to intro. duce agriculture arm the nomadic tribes of t vicinity, and to establ commercial relations with tht Tunguses, a race still entirely savage, spread over the rags, in misery, in filth, and in disease, nearly as much | frontiers of Chima, not far from Ajan. of this nomadic race have been Fon goer gn the bay of Ajan and the shores of the river May; the essays which they have made in the culture of wheat have succeeded at Ochotsk, which is situated more to the north, and in ® more rigorous climate, If the com- pany ehould come to establish commercial relations with the Tangueses in the new factory of Ajan, it mi have important results for its commerce, for this would open a fruitful source for the furs which al in that part of Siberia, little visited still by the hunters. ‘At the commencement of the last year, all the popula- tion of the Russo-American colonies amounted to 7.788 souls, of which 560 only were of Russian origin. The company displayed a laudable zeal in the moral develop- ment of the colony, and in extending instruction. At New Archangel, capital of the colonies. there were two popular schools for the education of children of one and the other sex; there was also a seminary for the training Cf priests; the last year it counted 60° pupils, of whom 35 creoles, the remainder native. These colonies have the most amicable relations with all their neighbours, even with the Koloches, the most powerful and savage tribe in these regions of North America The fair held at New Archangel in April, 1846, was visited by mi oloches, who supplied the market with freak jons, which was so much the more seasonable, as &t the time the town was in want of edibles. With the view of extending its operations in those parts of Ameri- ca, the directors of the company had dispatched in February, 1846, a first expedition to the Sandwich Islands, which ‘was attended with complete success.— Returned to New Archangel on the 30th of April, it had yielded a profit to the company of moré than 4,000 silver rubles, with the agreeable perspective creating durable commercial relations with those islands. American and Canadian Customs, [From the Kingston (Can.) Whig, May 14, The people of the United States area very sensible people. They show their good sense in a hundred differ- ent ways. Let us look at it in one particular point of view. Whenever or wherever one travels in the United States, whether by steamboat, coach, or railroad, mat- tera are 40 arranzed that the interests of the travelling vehicles and those of the Hotel keepers never clash or come in contact. Consequently the various proprietors live together in harmony, and work into ench other's hands. A Hudson River steamboat leaves New York in the evening, just after the passengers have dined, or taken their evening meal at their hotels. ‘The vessel ar- rives at Albany or Troy inthe morning, sufficiently early to allow the passengers plenty of time to attend with their baggage at the railroad cars, and take their breakfast at their hotels. At the places along the line of the railroad, it ix so arranged. at Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Lockport, Buffalo &c., that a suffclent stop- page is made to allow passengers to take their m comfortably, nay, even to allow of their laying out a lit- tle money in the towns they pass through. it disposed. And when the passengers arrive at a shipping port, such as Oswego or Rochester, there again the steamboats and hotels are in harmony, for the passengers never embark until they have taken one meal at least inthe town. How different is the state of things in Canada, in Wes- tern Canada at least. Here, apparently, the proprie- tors of steamboats consider it more their duty toguard the passengers they curry against the possible contin- gency of laying out » sixpence in any town they may touch at, than their safe and speedy conveyance. And why? Nct outof self-interest or ill-nature,but out of sheer indifference. ‘The steamers leave Toronto for Kingston, in the middle of the day, but at such an early hour, that, except in very few instances, the passengers eannot have dined. When the steamer arrives at King- ston, it is so contrived, that the passengers have barely time toshift into the river boat, where they breakfast. ‘Thus the hotel keepers of both Toronto and Kingston are defrauded of the exercise of their legitimate calling. When the Montreal boat arrives at Kingston, it in at such an hour, there is barely time to shift into the Toron- to steamer, thus pasting through Kingston without spending a farthing for dinner, And without entering into particulars, nearly the same complaint may be made with the arrangement of the Bay of Quinte steamera at least with those of the day boats. It is very true, that the interests of hotel-keepers are vastly inferior to those of the publie at large; and conse- quently, if it can be shown that the public are better nerved by the present mode of conducting the travelling business, than by adopting that of the United States, of course ail complaints fall to the ground. But this we deny. | No travelling on this continent is so expeditious as that in the State of New York. And yet we have shown how amicably the steamboats and hotels act in harmony. No one in that State complains of detention on the road, or vexatious taxation at their hotel. | travellers have some little matter, either of pleasure or business to attend to, in nearly every lurge town they touch at; and in addition to the excitement of stretching their legs for a few minutes, and taking their meals in @ comfortable and clean hotel, instead of a heated and crowded cabin, they would consider it a real privilege, could a stay be made sufficiently long to enable them to accomplish it, Another important consideration is the following—the public are great gainers by the keeping of clean and handsome hotels, which can only be done by the patronage ofthe public, Now, if the hotel business be ruined, a4 is that business in’ Kingston, the public will be the losers in the end, In the above, we have raid nothing of the people generally of Kingston, who are al- most equal losers by the present arrangement of things Instead of all gaining, more or less, by the influx of tra- vellers, it is of no more consequence to them if asteamer brings up or down @ hundred passengers, than if she Drought so many barrels of flour. Brooxiyn, L. I., May 90, 1847 Affairs in Brooklyn—Common Ceuncil—Brooklyn Fe- male Academy—New City Hall—Church of the Holy Trinity—Navy Burial Ground. A field for improvement exists throughout the older as well as the other sections of our interesting city. In matters of public enterprise it is painful to confess, that our metropolis is proverbially slow. Our Common Coun- eils drag their slow length along; and now and then by a stroke of eccentric diplomacy hit upon some advance- ment, and then relax into the “ old beaten path” again. ‘The Council meets in the principal room of the old Ap- prentice Library Building, on the corner of Henry and Orange streets, This room is decorated with portraits of ox-Mayors George Hall, Jeremiah Johnson, Jonathan Trotter, Cyrus P. Smith, Henry C. Murphy, Joseph Sprague, and Thomas G, Talmage. These individuals, together with the present Mayor, F. B. Stryker, form our mayoralty chain; they having respectively occupied the chief seat since we arrived at cityhood. During all of these administrations the city has been destitute of both a City Hall and a Park. It is, therefore, as you observe “ high time to be up and doing,” as a matter of public expediency. Though the city has been thus remiss in its corporate capacity, the same cannot be said of indi- vidual enterprise. Many evidences are seattered amidst us of extraordinary private munificence and spirit, ‘The Brooklyn Female Academy isin the full tide of successful experiment. This Academy and the Prinei- pal's residence are both eapacious edifiees, built of briek; and situated on Joralemon, between Court and Clinton streets, At the junctien of Court and Fulton streets stands the temporary wooden belfry containing the city fire bell; and near by, on the site of the edifice, projected an commenced several years since, the marble form of our new City Hall is gradually rising. But a short distance from this, to the westward, looms up the brown-stone chureh of the Holy Trinity, situated on the corner of Clinton street and Montagu Place. This ix an edifice of great taste, erected at the expense of » single individual, and isan ornament to the city, Ite architectural beauties are many; and every part of it, when fully completed, will afford evidence of superlative taste and splendor.
