Arrival of New York Companies at California, ARFAIRS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO. &e., &e., &e. THE NEWS FROM GEN. SCOTT, (From the N. O. Picayune, June 22°] The James L. Day, Capt. Wood, arrived at this port aie from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 1éth inst, We have the American Eagle of the 16th inst. The Eugle makes no mention of any later arrival from the army above ; but Capt. Wood that it was under. stood at Vera Cruz, before he left, that information had been received from Gen. Scott at Rio Frio, that there was @ prospect of making peace with the new govern- ment as soon as it Setiled; and that Gen. Soott confidently expected te send in less than two weeks the cheering news of peace to Vera Cruz. It was supposed that Gen. Herrera was lected Presi- dent beyond a doubt, So far Capt. Wood reports; but our letters from Vera Cruz do pot confirm this news, and they represent, on the contrary, as mentioned bove, that-nothing had boon received from Gen. Scott subsequent to the departure of the Galveston. And furthermore, we have letters from Puebla to the 3d inst., when Gen. Scott was there, and scarcely time had elapsed for him to march to Rio Frio and enter into negotiations, and for the news tocome back to Vera Crus. Weare, therefore, at present, incredulous about this intelligence. A large sum of money has been found in some se- cluded vault in the castle of San Juan de Ulua. It is uncertain whether it belonged to the Mexican govern- ment or to some private individual. The Eugle publishes a letter giving an account of a fire which ocourredat Laguna on the 26th of May. Half dozen houses were destroyed. ‘The officers and men of the U.S. brig Vesuvius, with Lieut. Magruder at their head, rendered effloient service in extinguishing the fire. AFFAIRS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO, In a package of papers, &o., sent to us by Mr. Kendall trom Puebla, we find fuller details of affairs going on in the city of Mexico, though still nothing later than the 29th of May. Le Courrier Francais translateg a powerful article from the Razonador. ‘The greater part of it is written to show that the guerilla system will be a thousand times more disastrous to good Mexican citizons than to the armies of the United States; that the inevitable tendency of the system will be to leave the honest, well- disposed and thriving inhabitants at the meroy of law- less, needy desperadoes ; and that such worthy inhabi- tants will inevitably apply to the Americans for proteo- tion, who are too sagacious not to grant it in full. ‘To prolong the war by a guerilia system, the writer deems, therefore, suicidal for Mexico. The only other practicable mode, he says, is the levee en masse on the inhabitants, attacking the Yankees in front, in rear, and upon thelr flanks, Such # rising, if excouted with spirit, vigor, and courage, he thinks would be successful, although the Americans might gein advantages in the outset. Such a rising the editor fully approves of, and still ad- vooates, but it will never take place, he says; not be- cause ft is impossible in itself, but because the Mexicans do not heartily desire it, and have ne intention of making it. Such being the case, he calls upon his countrymen not to solicit a peace, but to listen to the overtures which may be made to them. He writes with great clearness and force, and had we room wo would repro- duce the article. Such appeals must tell powertully in Mexico for peace. The people are unused to them. The resignation which General Rincon tendered of Nis office, as second in command to General Bravo, had sot been accepted by the government on the 29th ult. In the Courrier Francais we find an extract from the Boletin de la Vemocracia, the organ of Farias. It is a witty, caustic review of the defence of Senta Anna at Cerro Gordo, made by Senor Jimenez, We can understand that Santa Anna finds bis position uncomfortable with a fow papers of this kind, as witty as Temorseless. pouring hot «bot into him all the while, and he unable to defend himself by pointing to a single not of successful gallantry in this war, by which to de- precate the contempt excited against bin, AFFAIRS IN TAMPICO. The Mobile Register und Journal hae a letter from Tampico, datid the 12th inst. [t says that the leading article in our friend Gibson's first paper, gave umbrage to Col. Gates; accordingly he hus established @ censor- ahip, consisting of Col. De Russy, Major sorris and L. G. Capers, to have to sanction all matter that may henceforth appear in that paper. The same letter says, that under the new tariff the re- Yenue collected ut that port exceeds $48,000, but thw eity is 80 cut off from intercourse with the interior that g.ods can now be bought lower there than before the tariff went into operation. NEWS FROM MATAMORAS. {From the New Orieans Dvits, June 22] . By the James L. Day yesterday we received the Matas moras Fag of the 1éth inst, ‘Coe Flag says that a party of geutlemen, whilst on @ bunting excursion on Monday, found » Dragvon’s uniform &bout two miles South of thecity. The owner had evidently been mur- dered; & charge (apparencly buck snot) bad entered just uuder the shoulder biade, immediately below which was a triangular perforation, evidentiy frum a bayonet. The uame had been carefully cut off of both the inside of the collar and lining of the sleeve. ~In another paragraph the editor says:—“A gentleman, recently frou Camargo, informs us th at on the passage down.,he couuted no legs than six dead bodies floating in the river—three Mexicans and three Americans — Several pilots of our acquaintance inform us that dead vodies are seen on every trip. generally stripped of their clothing, leaviug no doubt that they have met with their death wt the hands of assassins ‘The Indiany ate charged with the commission of many of these murders, and as they are frequently seen on the banks of the river, there can be no doubt but they have a handin them. Fears are expressed by the captains of steamboats that they will not be able to obtain woud above Reynosa as the Mexicans have deserted nearly all the wood-yards, and retired from the river, to eseape the Indians.”” ‘The balance of the 10th Regiment reached Matamoras on the 14th ins Our New Orleans brethren, says the Flag, have been betrayed intoan error in regard to Hays's regiment.

The Flag g' 8 # the following, likely to be true, but jeud’ — tween Arista and his generals actually took place; the description was derived from a gentleman high in’ the confidence and esteem of the chief actor, but whose name we are not permitted to mention. After the batt'es of the 8th and 9th of May, when the Mexican army in their retreat had reached Linares, Gen. Arista summoned Generals Ampudia, Torrejon, Riquena, and Canaies to his quarters, and thus address- ed them:— “ Gentlemen—I am about to resign the command of the Army of the North. and | have sent for you that you may know the ressons which influenced me. They ure simply these: ! caunot command the army with honor to myself or country, as long as it numbers s0 many cowards, with high commands, in its ranks. You, Ampudi base coward; I trusted you with 3,000 of my best ti you betrayed your trust, proved 're- creant to the iover:ste of bp country, and, terror- stricken, fled trembling and dismayed, without being within half a league of hostile gun. “You, Torrejon, have some reputation as a cavalry officer; God knows how or where you obtained it; | am only astonished that you should have the effrontery to pretend to command. “You, Riquena, call yourself an artillery ofloer; you have been consistent through life, only in one thing, mT » like all maders, but when the hour of battle arrives, you are either not te be found, or your terror reuders your presence not only useless but inju- jous. “And you, Canales, to be called General! what a satire! what bitter irony!

He¢ says that the traders, on hearing of the determination of Col. Doniphan to bandon Chihuahue, Temonstrated ayes it, and that were d int ed in not receiving orders from Gen.

The representative of Queen Victoria said nothing though he evidently thought there was something in the emblematic eloquence of the Missourian. Our informant states to us that the British Consul at Chihuahua, made himself offensively officious, if he did not culpably compromit himself. It was knowm that he wave aid aod comfort to the Mexicaus, them, to some extent, with the aii war. The Consul thought to keep the American troops out of @ public building in Chihuahua, which a party had been ordered to enter and examine. The officer in com- mand told him that his orders were to enter it. and enter it he would. The Consul replied that if he did.it would be at the risk of incurring the hostility of his, the British, government, and he officially warned him of the fact The Missourian said that at the risk of incurring the hostility of the British Government or that ofhell itself, the nouse should be opened. He ordered up a 24-pound- er to blow it open; but before it arrived, some of the men had climbed up to the top of the bailding, down inside, and threw the doors open. The Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment is Mr. Jack- son, as brave a man as breatnes, but one who makes no pretensions to a knowledge of the science of war. In going into the battle of Sacramento Lieut. Col. Mitchell, who had been detachedtrom Price’s command on special duty, was present. “Look here, Mitchell.”’ said the gallant Jackson, “you hold the same rank that Ido. 1 know you can fight a wellas I can, and { know you can order better. {resign you my command during battle, for I prefer going into the raaks. and having a few cracks out of Nancy (his favorite double-barreled gun) at those yellow boys on horseback yonder,” Lieut.

My informant is ® gentleman from Westport, Missouri, and for my own part I do not entertain a doubt of tite correctness of the statement. He derives his information thus:— There was a Delaware Indian by the name of Nahco- ma, (a son of the celebrated chief of that name) who was found by Col. Price, & prisoner at Taos, when that place was taken last winter, This Indian was liberated, and some six weeks ago started to return to bis people who live on our western border. A few days since, he reached home, and reports that when near the great orossing of the pa prrin he fell in with a large band of Indians, com principally of Camanches, Arapaboes, Pawnies and Osages, numbering over two hundred “fires,” (messes) which, osloulating five to a ‘ would make about one thousand warriors. ‘Th him prisoner, and spared bis life on condition was extended to him at Chihuahua.

Old Rough Ready and the Presidency. From the Cincinnati Signal, June 26. The circumstances under which the following letter was received by the editor, are regarded as a warrant for to claim » triumph, end neither suf- ignominy of defeat. A long intimacy be- lay and General Taylor, reconclies the Political orthodoxy of the iatter, although General Taylor is said not to have voted for many years; . Polk, who is. and has been, as we are authori- tatively informed. entirely free trom any intention or wish for a second term of service inay still be gratified to yield his seat to the successful General ot the slexiean wur—closely id-nUited as that war is with the muccess of his admint-tpation. 3. Lhe anove considorations are «ubordinate, however. to the principles which are involved in every Prosiden- tial canvass. The country bas been divided for fifteen years upon most exciting topios, and if Gen. Taylor, im mediately upon his fpauguration a3 President. was con- strained to adopt either extreme, the consequences might be ratal to the success of his administration. It so hap- pens, however, that the results of the Mexican hostilitie ‘will remove many of those points of collision—at least for a few years, A debt of one hundred millions induces the necessity ofa tariff sufficiently advanced in its rates, to satiafy Now England and Pennsylvania, and at the samo the of th tive jee would thus be saved— seers tween Mr. time, will prevent any distribution of proceeds of the public lands. We cannot suppose that the Whigs will sopis urge a Bank of the United States, and Congress \ insist upon a fair trial of the Independent Treasury, removing some of those impracticable restrictions which have embarrassed the fiscal action of the government, and are an annoyance to individuals. So far, therefore, as the past contests of the respective parties are concern- ed, an administration composed of the leading minds of all parties. and supported by the whole pee le. is not only practicable, but may redound to the igbest inter- esta of the whole country. Only on one condition, however. eoutive must no longer insist upon Legislati ce. 1 are questions approaching, which the people must be allow- ed tosettle in their own way, without the interference of executive patronage or prerogative. The old political issues may be postponed, under the. pressure of oircum- stances, and as for the new—those coming events which cast their shadows before—let it be understood phat tho only path of safety for those who may hereafter fill the Presidential office, is to rest in the discharge of exe- cutive functions, and let the legislative will of the people find utterance and enactment. The Ameri- can people are about to assume the responsibility of framing the institutions of the Pacilic States. We have no fears for the issne, if the arena of the high debate is the assemblies of the people and their Representativ alls. The extension over the conti- nent beyond the Rio Grande of the Ordinance of 1787, is an object too high and permanent to be baffled by Presidential vetoes. All that we ask of the incumbent of the highest office under the constitution is to hold his hand, to bow to the will of the people us promulgated in legislative forms, and restrain the executive action in its appropriate channels. Give us an honest admi- nistration of the government, and an end to all cabals of # cabinet—all interference from the White House-- designed to sway or thwart the action of the American its publication, We felt it our duty, when the first do- monstrations were made in favor of General Taylor for the Presidency, to dwell upon the subject at considerable length, We were desirous that some of the suggestions contained in our article should meet the eye of General Taylor, aud therefore enclosed it to his address, with » few words of reference to our position asa journall In reply to that communication, we have received the admirable and significant letter, which wo take pleasure in laying before our readers.

TAYLOR, Major General U, 3. Army. James W. Tavton, Eaq , Cincinnatl, Ohio. The article, to which reference has beeu made, was published in the Signal of April 13th, and is as follows We percrive, in various quarters, the nomination of Gen. Zachary ‘Taylor for the Presidency. So far as such a demonstration {s the mere transport of military enthusiasm, or tho trick of political fuction, it would te unworthy of notice, but ww think it evideut that this inovemwnt of the public mind has a much higher eharac- ter—and grows out of a convietion that Gen. Taylor bas displayed an energy and wisdom of conduct, and «mod ty of demeauor which at. as requixite to the deliberations of a cabinet as the plan ofa campaign. [tina great mistake to suppose that thy people are blinded in their political preferences by the bare fact of military achievement — It was the popular impulses, and the stern honesty of Andrew Jackson, which aroused the sympathy and trust of the uation, and we predict that, whateser skill oF success may attend the march of Gen. Scott to Mexico, he will never excite the attachment or confidence which follows the hero of Buena Vista, Weare not surprised, therefore, that ardent spirits are calling for the sword of Gen. Taylor to out the Gordian knot of political in- trigues. But icis a far different question, whether his name and fame shall be made an instrument of mere partisan warfare. In this respect there is a distinction, which we are confident Gen. Taylor will be among the first to perceive and act upon, and which we hope to illustrate in the few remarks that we feel constrained to make in reference to existing and future agitation of this subject What an enviable rank in the eyes of the world, and the hearts of his countrymen, Gen. Taylor now holds!— Should he return from the fields of the Rio Gran the heights of the Sierra Madre, with what and respect would he be greeted by men of all parti Himself nover a politician—content in the quiet dis- charge of duty, and the enjoyments of domestic life— and while prompt to meet the Indian foe, in prairie or everglade, and to stand by the flag of the country, when advanced te a foreign frontier, yet devoted, as all ac- counts represent him, tothat home and family, in the bosom of which the intervals of his life, thus far, have passed peacefully and happily—we confess that our im- ressions of Gen. Taylor are such, that we should not be surprised, if he firmly disregarded every acclamation which connected his name with the Presidency. Should he do #0, he jeopards nothing of the present spring-tide of popular favor—nay, more, he takes instant rank with ‘aahington, as an unconscious but eloquent preacher of the highest political morals. How much more envia- ble such # destiny for the evening of his days, than to cast the mantle of his military fame and private virtues, over the excesses and corruptions which disfigare the party Poltttos of the day! He is no friend to the reputa- tion of Gen, Taylor. who would thus seek to reatrict the applause «f the whole country to the interested clamor oP a party. Still, as a citizen of # free republic, General Taylor is in the hands of the American people, and we can readil; imagine a contingency in which it would become his duty to assent to the demand of the country, and assume the responsibilities of political life. But it must be the requisition of the country, not of this or that set of office seekers, which will call him, either from his rank or his fireside. It must be such a call, as sompelled Washing- ton to forego the retirement of Mount Vernon—unani- mous, disinterested, the voice of the, people, not the flat- tor.es of politicians. We believe it is in General Taylor's ower, at thin juncture of the national politics, to take dependent ground, and become the President of the people! Our support of him, or of ai y other man, shall r be pledged in advance of a full knowledge of the principles and views, with which he would assume that responsible station, but we may be allowed, as an inde- pendent journalist, to indicate some of the ‘signs of the times which point to the result just mentioned. 1. The Presidential canvass of 1948 is in utter confu- sion. Among the whigs, a Pittsburgh moeting nominates Judge McLean, who is also understood to be a general favorite of his party inthe North western States—the anti-war spirit of New England and the Western re- serves, indicates its preference for Senator Corwin—the Southern and Middle Statewcherish a fancy for Scott. whioh only requires yutory Perote to manifest itself; while, us an undercurrent, deeper and perhaps stronger than all, is the chivalric feeling in behalf of Henry Clay, now intensified by the death ot his gallant son, and which may yet determine the shape of the conflicting elements. The democrats are in a condition equaliy chaotic, In the West, Gen. Cass has many and warm friends—Mr. Caihoun, with his compact and disciplined body guard, stands ready to make his Presidential for- tune, or mar that of other \ramta in the democratio ranks—bilas Wright, if theNow York roverss had not oocurred, would have been prominent in the field, and i+ still the favorite of many; while quietly at Lindenwald sits the statesman of the party, who will bably never again join the politics! mé/ée, but might prove more available in a strict party trial, than many mon whore names are frequently heard in’ the present con- nection, In the general confusion, an apprehension p vails, that the eleotion will revert to the House of Rep- Tesentatives—a result greatly to be deplored —and hence the popular im; whieh chooses toadjourn the atrifes of parties and the straggies of their leaders. while the country takes. breath uuder the administration of an independent President. 2.

Affairs In Canada. (From the Montreal Herald, Juno 28.} We have little to record in the political world, beyond hat willbe found in our report of the, proceedings in Parliament. Attempts have been made in both Houses, by her majesty’s opposition, to throw her majesty’s Ca- nadian cabinet into a minority, but with equal want of success. In connection with this subject, we may mention that the ministry have laid on the table of the House a trans- lation of certain correspondence which passed between them and Mr. Caron, the late Speaker of the Legislative counell, relative to the reconstruction of the miniatry, 40 as to admit some gentlemen enjoying the confidence of the French Canadian population to the Executive council, The course of the negotiations, judging from this correspondence, seems to have been this: Lord gin first addressed & memorandum to Mr. Caron, r questing his advice ax to the best means of forming a coalition ministry, containing gentlemen who have the confidence of the French Canadians; saying that he de- sired no sucrifice of principle; but expressing his hope that personal and party differences would, if any such existed, give way to patriotism and the public good.— Upon this basis Mr. Caron entered upon the negotiation and in order to be quite sure of his ground, he proposed several questions to the ministry, among which was this: use to propose on his side’? He was answered that there was no objection to any person. It wus then arranged that, as the eabinet is composed of seven members, three gentlemen from Upper Canada should be named, and three from Lower Canada; the seventh pl being the Provincial Secretaryship, occupied by Mr. Daly, to be filled up afterwards by the Governor General, with the ad- vice of the six. ‘This seems to have been understood 2s a bargain on both sides; but, suddenly, Mr. Caron sig- nifled to the ministry that they must exclude Mr. Duly from any participation in the governmont.and that he Jad four persons who would then join the Government.— As the whole affair was based upon the rejection of per- sonal or party dislikes, and still farther. as the seventh | member of the cabinet was to be the choice of the two parties, this, of course, ended the business. § commencement of the session, however, Mr. C stated that, in consenting to take office with the conser: vatives of Upper Canada, he fully expected to pave the way for the return to power of their opponents, the Up- per Canadian liverala, with whom the Freoch had all along acted. So that, when he had got his majority of four in the council of seven, the first thiog would have been to oust the colleagues with whom he professed to co-operate Yet, though the declaration was made in the faoe of both Houscs of Parliament, for the Assembly had adjourned, aud mort of its members were below the bar of the Upper House—Mr Caron’s fri about what they call the fusincerity of Beyond these occurrences, litcle bas been douse of pub- lic interest in either braach of the Legislature; but a great number of private bills have been introduced, and advanced one or ntore stages. Among these are several acts, for allowing banks to increase their capital, The lospector- General bas given @ brief outline of his financial scheme, He proposes to take advantage of the Sritish Possessions Act, to discard ail differential duties ; to reduce several tonnage and other daties now levied upon vessels coming from sea to Montreal and Quebec, laying the charges which the produce is applicable to, upon the consolidated fand; to extend tne facilities now granted to importers of all kinds of goods to pase them through our waters for re-shipment ; and toreduce the tolls on the canals to the lowest point to which they can be brought, consistently with « proper regard to the revenues of the Province, In another column will be found the particulars of the revenue and expenditure of the year 1848, compared with the year 1845.
