AFPAIRS IN GENERAL TAYLOR’S CAMP. (From the New Orleans Del Lege The U. 8. steamer Fashion, Captain Ivy, Brazos St. Jago, the 2nd instant, arrived at this port yesterday. She had on board A a discharged volunteers, and Quar- termaster’s men. We received by her the American Flag of the 30th ult..and the letter of our Monterey correspondent, which we give below ‘The principal items of news which we find in the Flag, are the oe Gard Gen. Hopping. now in this city, proceeds immediately to Mier to superintend the formation of a Camp of In- struction at that place for the troops now here and to ar- rive out for Gen. Taylor's column. The 16th it entire, is now at Camargo and will be the first at the camp. Two scraseulen of the 13th Regiment passed up the river on Monday ; one company isin Fort Parades, where it will remain for the present, and two more are at the Brazos, expected up, The other five companies of this Regiment are yet to arrive. The 10th Regiment complete, is in camp at this place, and will remove to the Camp of Lostruction when relieved by the Illinois troops, understood to be on the way out. The Battalion of 3rd Dragoons, now here, are under orders to remove to the camp, but their march is delayed, in consequence of the non-arrival of horses. In addition to the troops above mentioned, the follow- ing forces, raised and to be raised under the recent call for voluutegrs and assigned to Gen. Taylor, will enter Gen. Hopping’s school at Mier as fast as they arrive. One Regiment of Infantry from Indiana and one from Ohio ; one Battalion (five companies) from New Jersey ; one Battalion (five aie) aye from Delaware and Mary- land; one Battalion (five companies) from Alabama; one company of foot from Florida; four companies of horse from lMlinois, Arkansas, Ohio, and Alabama ; two companies of foot from Virginia, and one company from North Carolina. » ‘The troops will be exercised in their duties at this school under Col. Belknap,and when they shall have pass- ed through a course of instruction under him, they will be fully prepared to fight under General ‘Taylor's invin- cible banner. Mr. Craft, who was imprisoned on a charge of shoot- ing a Mexican, has been acquitted, and is now at liberty. Major Ben. McCulloch and his company of spirited boys have been quartered in town for several days. The Major, who is in bad health, left for Camargo yesterday. They enlisted for six months, and if not received, will return home and disband. Mowreney, Mexico, June 22, 1847. Notwithstanding that « long’ time has elapsed since I last wrote to you, yet since that period the movements of this division of our army have been very limited; in- deed, the small force now here would, in my opinion, pre- clude any active operations. There are now at’ this place, in garrison, six companies of the Massachu- Setia regiment ; in camp, Bragg’s battery, a squadron of Dragoons, and a company of Texan Rangers ; the remaining battalion of Virginians leaves for Saltillo to-day, At Saltillo there are the 2d Mississippi, North Carolina, and also a part of the Virginia regi- ment; also Chevallio’s battalion of Texans, three batte- ries of artillery, and a squadron of dragoons, The total of this force can scarcely amount to 4000 men. ‘The Governor of the city, Major Early, leaves with his regi- ment for Saltillo, and Col. Wright, of Massachusetts, will take his place. While in power, N’ajor Early stopped the publication of the Pioneer, by compelling the pro- prietorg to surrender the press to the city government. It seems that the printing press was the property of the Stute of Now Leon, and was obtained by the publishers of the paper, by an order from Col. Ormaby. Every thing went on smoothly until the Pioneer commenced to expose some of the rascally proceedings of the Alcalde and Ayuntamiento, who immediately took the alarm, and demanded of the Governor that he should cause the press to be again delivered into their hands; with which request he, in his zeal to gain the good will of the Mexi- caus, immediately complied. Ihave perceived it intimated in your paper, that’one reugon for Gen. La Vega’s being 0. willing to return to the United States was, on account of a previous flirtation with s beautiful Creole. If this be true, the General must be asad rake, I will make you acquainted with an ineident in his history, which niay serve to prove the point :— Thero was, and still ix, in this city, an old Spaniard, very rich, who rejoices In the occupation of vendin, drugs and medicines. being the proprietor of wel known shop in the Plaza, called “ Botica Mexicana ” Our old Spaniard haying, as he thought, laid alone for too great a length of timo, some few years since took to himself a young and beautiful wife; but that young lady in the course of events, came to think that the inequali- ty of age of herself and husband was rather gruat : she therefore, paid a visit to Matamoras, and did not return, inasmuch as she became desperately smitten with La Vega, and chose rather to remain with him than to go back to her husband. 0 you perceive that besides be- ing Valiant in arms, the illustrious general knows how to conquer the ledies? hearts, ‘The city is rapidly filling up; the Mexican families are returning in large numbers; and to tell you the truth, there are now great many very pretty girls in town; some of thom #0 fair as to resemble Americans Gen. Cushing arrived hero yesterday ; he has, I be- lieve, almort entirely recovered from the accident which befell him in Matamoras. Gray’s and McCulloch’s companies of Rangers have been disbanded, their term of service having, | believe, expired. 1 had'the pleasure of socing, a few days since, our old friend Capt. Tobin, of MeCulloch’s company. He left here for Parcas,o few days since—a beautiful and rich widow being, as he intimated, the principal at- traction, Capt. T, says he is ‘‘in for the war.” We are now three weeks without any roliable intelli- gence from Gen. Scott—there are plenty of rumors, of eourse, but mething authentic. [From the N. O. Picayune, July 6. We have our correspondence from Monterey to the 20th ult., and the Matamoras Flag of the 30th. ‘The troops quartered at Matamoras, about 1,400 in number, were to have been received on the Ist inst., by Col, Davenport, the commandant. ‘The Flag has a report communicated by letter—in which, by the way, it puta no faith—that scouting party of Gen. Wool had been out off near Encarnacion, and all but one man killed or made prisoners, ‘The let: ter further said, that Gen. Wool was expecting an at- tack. The letter is dated July 10, Had there been any truth in its reports, they would have been noticed by our correspondent, writing ten days later from Monte- my. Monteney, Mexico, June 20, 1847. I understand that Gen. YTaylor has beon apprised from headquarters that threo of the ten regiments and one battalion of the 3d regiment of dragoons are assign- ed to his column, and that three of the volunteer regi- ments recently called for aro also to be assigned him, ‘They will probably be in the field by the latter part of August, and ready to march by September. Accounts of the ‘crops in the interior are very flattering ; the wheat crop is said to be unusually fine, and corn also gives tokens of an abundant harvest.’ This is very cheering, as by the time a movement is made the corn harvest will be at its very height, ang there will be no difficulty in foraging the animals. ‘The army will pro- batly bo subsistod upon fresh beef on the route, to afold the necessity of transporting salt provisions, and levies will be made upon the surrounding country. I imagine that Gen. Taylor will visit the States late In tho fall, after penetrating into the interior, and uniting with Gon, Scott. ‘A Mexican of considerable intelligence arrived direct from San Luis a few days since, and reports that Gen, Taylor has been expected thero for some time. He states, that there sre some regular troops t iere, but no very large force, and that but little had been done to- wards fortifying the place Mexicans here state that Urres has levied a tax upon all the inhabitants of this region for the support o° his forces,and that he has agents attending to its execution, All those who have arms aro directed to keep them in good order and bo ready at a moment's warning to stand in to protect their soil. It is thought by the Mexicans here, and they could not be made to think otherwise, that Gen. Taylor contemplates a very spocdy movement upon San Luis, in consequence of ail the troops being sent en to Saltillo immediately after their arrival here, and Urren is said to have expressed his intention of retaking Monterey as soon as Geu. Tay- lor departs. Tam afraid that he will be disappointed fa his expectations. That Urrea has issued orders and pro- mulgated an address {cannot and do not doubt, Why should he not, as well as Canales? . Eight companies of the North Carolina Regiment, Col. Payne, part of whom arrived with the last train from below, inarched up to Saltillo on Thursday, and ap- parently with pretty full ranks, A partof the Massn- chusetta Regiment are at Cerralvo and the reast at Ca. inargo, and are soon expected up. ‘There have been a great many discharges in tho Virginia Regiment of sick. Incompetent to perform duty, and the greater portion of them wore never fit to perform duty when they were mustered into the service in Virginia. Government has been put to the expense of bringing them out here to be kept on the sick list the greater part of the time and Snally discharged. Tho mustering offleor, of course, is the person to blame for not having the men properly In- spected, Capt. Carrington and Lieuts, Kinney and Ash- by are under orders to proceed to Virginia to raise re- cruits to fill up the companies to their proper standard. NEWS FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. ‘The Mobile Herald and Tribune has complete files of papers from the city of Mexico, down to the 16th of June, several days later. ‘The Diavie del Gobierno, of the 13th June, contains the decree of Santa Avna prohibiting the publications of notices as to the state of defence of the city of Mexico, cutting off all communication “ with the point of the Republic occupied by onr common enemies, the North Americans. All persons infringing this decree to be roceet ainst tinny ed Lhe laws against spies of he enemy. All persons, therefore, requiring to pass into or to write to such parts must obtain a safe con- duct from the Supreme Government, or from properly constituted military authorities «In the Diario for the 15th Juno, D. Jose Maria Cobos in regard to Molntosh’s convoy, “ that the heights of the Bridge (Puente Nacional) were oceapled by more ‘han three hundred infantry and over a hundred caval- ry in the road at the base of the heights; that the bridge was completely obstructed by a thick barricade of brambles and trees; “ that the Americans had suf- fered a loss of one hundred and fifty killed, as hoe had ob served that they had buried a hundred and odd corpses, and had beheld dozen shot whom the enemy could not carry off!’ that our guerrillas are full of enthusi- asm; and that D. Juan Climaco Rebolledo was pre- paring to attack the convoy in Paso de Ovejas, as be could be spared without prejudice to the defence of the bridge,” “that an hu and odd American cavalry and infantry had descended from Jalapa to assist the convoy, and that four of this reinforcement had been killed and others wounded.’? The following paragraph is from the Diario of the 12th June :— ‘Trustworthy letters and tho vvidence of peréons of veracity confirm the report, that the Yankees in Puebla do not number 6000; the- artillery does net amount to twenty-five pieces, most of which are eight, six, and four = ers. at garrison will they think of leaving in ‘webla. in case they move forward? Certainly not less than 2000, And, with hardly $000 will they aétempt to come exico? In such cases it is w said the meat is too little for so much broth. tai Inthe Diario of the 10th, there is an article headed “ Guerra a los Yankis,” from one of its exchange pa- pers, from which the Herald translates the following :— The Americans in Puebla, with false appearances of virtue and devotion, have entered the churches, have visited the prelates, have shown respect to the priests, and some have had even the hardihood ot approaching the white and most pure table of the sacrament. Im- postors ! chi ! hypocrites! sacrilegious wretches ! he- retios! heretics! heretics! although with « Pharasaical mask they attempt to deceive the Mexicans, shamming to be religious men and Christians! How many of this perverse peeple, while prostrating themselves beiore our altars, are Internally scoffing the saints and turning them into ridicule! How many of them, while they raise their hats to our padres, heap upon them in their black hearts, maledictions and opprobrious terms ! How many of them will even go to the communion tuble, after hay- ing, pera , atisfled the devouring thirst of their horri- ble drunkenness’ Pertidious! fe full of lies! Do they believe the exercise of the Christian religion in Mexico is like a carnival ball, in which any wretch, any misareant, may make his appearance and play his part?

ARMY NEWS. A letter recelved in this city from Captain Felt, dated at Ceralvo, 12th ult., announces that four companies of the Massachusetts regiment were in garrison at that place, under the command of Lieut. Col. Abbott; and that Colonel Wright, with the remaining six, had marched forward to Monterey. Tho rumor, therefore, that the regiment was ordered to Vera Cruz must be false. Company K has not been disbanded as heretofore Feported, but the men have been transferred to the other companies temporarily. Capt.

The Bulletin says, we are not in possession of any further particulars attending this sad and unexpected event. The news of Captain Naylor's death will, indeed, be a sudden blow to his numerous friends and relatives in this cily.

A letter ‘rom Fort Leavenworth, of late date, informs us that there was considerable trouble in the camp of the volunteers, occasioned by the refusal of the company commanded by Captain Korponay to receive muskets. ‘They demanded sabres and rifles.

The Convention was opened by prayer, and after some preliminary arrangements relative to the printing and clreulating of the proceedings and statistics prepared by the Executive Committee, the following letter from Daniel Webster was submitted to the assemblag “Mansuriecp, June 26, 1847 “Gxxtiemex—I am quite obliged to you for your very kind and respectful letter, addressed to me at Nashville, inviting me to attend the Chicago Convention. If my health bad allowed me to continue the journey which was then prosouting, it would have brought me into the North West, in time to have been with you the first of July; but being compelled by illuess to abandon the purpose of getting over the 1: ountains. it was, of course, not in my power to attend the Convention “You speak, gentlemen, in terms of too much commen- dation, I fear, of my efforts in the cause of internal and Western improvement. I can only say that those efforts have been earnest, long continued. and made from the single desire of promoting the great interests of the country. Of the power of the government to make ap- propristions for erecting harbors and olearing rivers, | never entertained u particle of doubt. ‘This power, inmy judgment, is not partial, limited, obscure, applicable to some uses, and not applicable to others; to some States, and not others; to some rivers, and not others, aa seems to have been the opinion of gentlemen connected with the Memphis Convention. For one, I reject all such far- fetched and unnatural distinetions. In my opinion, the authority of the government, in this respect, rests di- rectly on the grant of thecommercial power to Congress; and this has been so understood from the beginning, hy the wisest aud best men who have been concerned in the administration of the government, and is, conse- quently, general, and limited only by the importance of each particular subject, and the discretion of Congress. “I hope the convention may do much good, by enfore- ing the necessity of exercising these just powers of the government. Thero are no new inventions nor new constructions or qualifications of the constitutional pomer to bo resorted to; there is no new political path to struck out. It is simply for the people to say, whether prejudice, party prepossessions, and party opposition, aball at length give way to fair reasoning, to precedent and experience, to the judgment of the great men who have gone before us, and to those momentous considera- tions of public interest, which now so imperatively call on Congress to do ita duty. “1 am, gentlemen, with much regard, “Your obliged friend and fellow. citizen, “DAN.

Joun C, Srexcen, of New York, offered a rosolution to defray expenses of printing,by contributions from the Yarlous places that have sent delegates to the conven tion, which was adopted. ‘The President here announced the reception of some pamphlets containing the report of the National Con- vention of the Home League, met in New York city on Oct. 13, 1842, by Joseph Blunt. An amendment was here offered by a delegate, to add to the contemplated report of the executive committee of this convention, the various reports submitted to its consideration. A delegate from Ilinois objected, on the ground that the pamphlet just circulated among tho delegates con- tained opinions that wore not in accordance with the ob- Jects of this convention, and from a perusal of the hecond sentence, evidenced not only a blunted knowledge of the principles of government, but the emanations of a blunted mind. ‘The resolution wns finally defeated.

Suw Fever iv Canapa.—The petty yh Me f made a report onthe 5th inst. relative | Fee sloon of the sick immigrants at the sheds in the vicinity of tho city, from which we copy the follow- {ng paragraphs:— McCulloch reported that he had this day visited, the immigrant sheds and hospitale, and found the sick too much crowded, 'n a manner calculated to pre- vont their recovery and endanger the lives ofall neces- tary attendants, Ho found, in ono apartment, of little more than twenty feet equare, thirty-three women dan- gerously ill of fever. In the extremity of another building, about twenty feot by fifty feet, he found three hundred and fifty chii- dren, ineluding many infants of but afew montlis old, suffering and dying, Ba segretted to sayfor want of food and clothing. He also reported that mortality is increasing in the immigrant hospital, no less than fifty-four having died there inthe twenty-four hours ending Sunday after- noon; and that more accommodation in hospital room was linperatively req sired for the safvty of the unfortu- jad there. The mortality in the present hospitals is now frightful, owing,in a great measure, to the close crowding of in- mates, which creatos a pestilential atmosphere,that sick- ens and drives awey physicians and nurees; and conse- quently leaves the weary and Relplens sick to die in all Nc the horrors of torment and neglect.
