INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. ASHINGTON, Jan, 27, 1848. More Rumors—The Breaking of the Day. We were startled with a rumor this morning that the Mexicans were concentrating at Quere- taro in hostile array, and had already collected a force of 13,000 men—that Scott, apprised of it, had detailed General Butler with 7,000, to go and disperse the enemy to the four winds of heaven, and take the Mexicaa Congress under his pro- tection. * This evening the telegraph brings us the reverse of the picture, to wit: that?Gen. Scott has con- cluded a tregty of peace—that the Rio Grande, New Mexico, and Upper California, have been ceded to us; which cannot fail to be satisfactory, if these good tidings be true. We hope they are true. There is a general in- clination to believe that they are, and that they afe attributable to the formidable proclamations ot Gen. Scott, for the prompt occupation and taxation of the Mexican republic, State by State, which its supposed so alarmed the Mexicans, that they gave in to the necessity of the case. If this peace news be true, the arrangements on behalf of Gen. Cass for the Presidency, are dismantled, and he willbe compelled to build upen another platform than the annexation of all Mexico. It will change the whole face of af- fairs, and all for the better. It will relieve the administration, it will relieve the Treasury, it will relieve commerce, it will relieve currency, it will relieve the people from the impending hazards ot direct taxation; it will bea superb thing. We hope for the sake of all these high considerations, and for the sake of peace, that peace is at hand—that the war is over—that the solemn services over the dead, slain under the national flag, from the deadly coast at Vera Cruz, to the Hil of Montezuma, will give way to illuminations all over the land and #il over sea, in honor of the conquest of a peace. G rious has been the war—thrilling has been its achievements, but more glorious, and more thrilling, will be the crowning glory of an honorable peace, dictated with a spirit of mag- nanimity and forbearance, and accepted in a spirit of humility and gratitude. Tne Docror. Wasuincron, Jan. 27, 1848 Whig Caucus—A National Convention decided upon. The whigs of Congress had a caucus to-night, at their club-room, opposite the United States Hotel. There were about one hundred whigs present, of the House and Senate. Mr. Mangum presided atthe meeting. The question to be con- sidered was, ‘‘shall the whig party go into a na- tional convention?” The Taylor men urged a postponement of the question; and Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, spoke for an hour and a halt against any decision now, in favor of a conven- He urged, it is said, the claims of Gen. ylor, with great force upon the meeting, and the advantages of running him independent of a convention, and by the simple primary organi- zations of the people. The Clay men were tora convention, and nothing short of a convention, and would, in no event, unite upon Gen. Taylor until after he shall have given in an unqualified commitment to the doctrines of the whig party. The result of the caucus was a vote of ten to one in favor of a cenvention—and to this extent, in favor of Henry Clay. There was no vote upon a day for the convention, buta convention was resolved upon. Now, sir, as the chances are clearly, that Mr. Clayis to be the whig no- minee, it behooves the friends of Gen. Taylor to look about them, and determine what they intend to do; because we asked a whig, this eve- ning, what his party were going to do, and his only reply was, “The whige will run old Hal, once more, Hurrah for Henry Clay ” Mr. Ulay continues at the United States Hotel, in the best condition.

RENTS ADMINISTERED FOR ACCOUNT OF GOVERNMENT. ‘fhe principal of thess rents is the monopoly of the tobacco, aud we by ail moans would advise to have the monopoly continued. The gross proceeds of that rent were in 1844, the sum of $4,966651 2 5; the expenses, including collecting and administration charger, amounted to $3,222,678 3 2, and the net proceeds were 3.

Mr. Commissioner Trist has been turned out of first clerk in the State Department. What can have induced this astounding refusal of $2000 a year, and very slight duties to perform, passeth com- prehension ; unless, iudeed, it is the fear of Gen Duff Green, who has published a paper with the express object of showing up the great incomes derived by the officials here. Dr. Young, of Vir- ginia, has since been offered the vacant office, but with what success has not transpired. Believe it not after this that Washington is crowded with office-seekers, for here 18 an office going begging, and no one can be induced to fill it.

The court martial met to-day for the purpose of hearing some explanation of the Judge Advo- cate. We understood that he stated in effect that Gen. Kearny had given information gene- rally about the charges against Fremont, and the seventh one in particular, with reference to the cagnon. After this the court went into closed session, and we are to hear no more till the sea- tence, whatever it may be, will be promulgated by the President of the United States. Public opinion here is hardly divided as to what verdict should be rendered. It is difficult to see how the last objection made by the defence (throwing all others aside) can be got over. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Benton introduced a bill which, if carried, will have the effect of approximating the proceedings of courts martial to other courts. The defence is to be allowed to plead by counsel --evidence objected to is to be entered on the minutes, if the defendant requests it, as objected matter, of course; the proceedings and delibe- rations are all to be in open court, &c. It is not altogether improbable this bill is introduced as a groundwork to an appeal aguinst the decision of the Fremont court martial, in case it should be adverse to his son-in-law. If the bill is passed, it will, of course, be admitting that the present law is detective and unjust,and as a consequence, any decision made under it cannot be detended. in the Supreme Court, Mr. Webster addressed the court on the * Dorr case The subject was uninteresting only in so far as Mr. Webster’s speaking went, and that attracted a crowd ot ladies and gentlemen.

Most important Document, communicated by Gen, Scott, and laid before the Readers of the Herald in advance of all other publications. We are enabled to forward you to-day a highly important “memoir,” transmitted by Major- General Scott to our government, regarding the revenues of Mexico.

Yet the evil seems to have grown irom year to year, gaining fresh vigor from the measures taken by the government for ite annihilation. roofs of what we state are to be found in every report, ond in the admissions of all the ministers who have successively administered the finan- sirs of thecountry. The same depredatory aye- tem can be traced in all the branches of public revenue, leaving the conclusion that the revenues are by no insane a8 large as they ought to be. The foregoing information having proved that the revenues of Mexico cannot be estimated ut less than $16,000,000 to $17,000,600 per annum, we shall examine Bow what they might amount to in case a better admin- istration and collection of them should be organized, on account of the eccupation of the couatry by the armies of the United States, The report then goos on to state that it would be bet- ter to endeavor to raise the revenue by the least offen- sive mode to the Inhabitants, but #t the same time as- eeruing that a great many impostes, which in the United States would be considered vexatious, could be raised in Mexico without any trouble Under @ good and folthful administration, affording protection to all, the following deductions are drawn, as to the probable revenue. —~ IMPORT The last Legislature of Maryland reduced the salary of the Governor of Maryland trom $4200 to $2000—the House yesterday voted down an attempt to increase it to $3500.

The steamboat Yallabi , from Red River for this port, with a full cargo of cotton, was entirely destroved by fire on the night of ‘Tuesday last, the 18th inst. “The catastrophe ocourred at abou! nine o’clock, when opposite the Cg below Donaldson: vil ‘The following is as full a list of the passengers lost as we have been ableto obtain: Mrs. Jane Cham- berlin and obil¢, Mr. Nichols and child, Miss Frances Joheson, Mrs, Bernard snd children, Rev. Mr. Page of Shreveport, and his two children, and ason of Judge Wels. Among those who were saved, were Mra. Page, (wife of the Rev. Mr. Page,) Mr. and Mrs. Piles, of Texas, Miss Godwin, of Illinois, Mc P FE obnson, wife and daughter, Mr. Benj. G. Ware, Mr. N. E. Batesman, W. Culvert,of Kentucky; J M. Yancey and W. Osborne, of New Orleans; A. Boggs, of Illinois, . Buck, of Ohio; W. Pelson, A. W. Owings, Gen. L. A.D. Givens, of Mis: sisippi; Dr. Wall and lady, of Texas; and several others whose names we have not learned. Most of the passen- gers who were saved came down to the city on the Childe Harold, A gentleman who wasa passenger and escaped injury, iniorms us that there were over one hundred souls on board, and that in his opinion fully forty were lost. {From the New Orleans Delta, Jan. 20.] =The steamboat Yallabusha, Capt. Scott, loaded with Sotton, on her trip from Red River to this city, on Tues- day night last, was burned to the water’s edge, by which terrible disaster, at least thirty-five lives w oat. ‘T'o @ gentleman, one of the surviving passengers, we are mainly indebted for the following particulars of the heart-ending seene:— About @ quarter past 9 o'clock, on ‘Tuesday night, when the majority of the passengers, uuimbering about one hundred in ail, including the deck passengers, had retired, the alarm of fire was given—the boat was then in the middte of the stream, and opposite the planta- tion of Mr. V. Shopbiss about 15 mileasbelow Donald- sonville. All were instantly aroused, and as the doors of the ladies’ cabin were thrown open, the dense volume of smoke rt aft from the clerk’s office, near where the fire originated, almost produced suffocation. ‘The scene of terror and wild alarm among the passengers at this moment, beggars description. The boat was immediately rounded to and headed to theshore, and asshe struck the bank a geveralrush was made for the landing, many per- sons.being drowned in their attempts toget on shore. As she reached the shore, Mr. E Knowlton, of Donald- sonville, and two other passergers, whose names we have not heard, with great presence of mind, seized the end of the cable, and leaping on shore made it fast to a tree on the bank, in order to hold the boat in her position— but, through the culpable negligence of those on board, whose duty it was to attend tosuch matters, the cable was not made fast on board, and the boat consequently swung out into the stream again, t! gines still going, and in a few seconds was beyond the reach of those on shore The boat afterwards drifted down stream about here, striking the shore, she was made fast. ls, of ‘Texas, lost a child, about four years of ge, and one servant. The Judge having his wife and two children on board, he took # child in each hand, and in leaping overboard received a blow on oue arm from fall- ing timber, causing him to relax his hold on one of the children, which was lost. Mrs. Mills leaped overboard with her husband, and was saved by the efforts of Major Yancy, of Natcbitochee. Mr. Johnsen, one of the pas- sengers, lost three children aud one grandchild—all sup- posed to be burnt. Mr. A. M. Alexander, formerly of Kentucky, lost two children—both girls; himself and were saved by swimming ashere. A brother of Mr. Alexander and his wife, and Dr. John D. Wall, ot Harrison county, Texas,and his wife, were saved by swimoii The Rev. Mr. Pags, Episcopal min- children, were lost. He was lostin attempting to save his family, Mrs. Page was saved.— The steamer Monterey, going up streain, succeeded in rescuing two persons, who were ig to the rudder of the Yallabusha,ss she drifted down stream. The kindness and humanity of Mr. Choppin, opposite whose plantation the disaster , 18 spoken of in the highest terms by the surviving . His house was thrown open , and clothing furnished to those who had escaped the conflagration with only night- clothes, Among the many acts of noble generosity, performed by the surviving oabin passengers who had means on their persons, tow. the unfortunate deck passengers, who had lost their all,we would mention that of Maj. Ware. He had lost $3000 on board. and having $170 remaining on his perso it among the deck passengers. Among the officers of the Yallabusha, who have been represented to us as having formed their duty nobly in the hour of pe eard the pilot who was at the wheel at ‘he tim we fegret we were unable to learn his name, spoken of in the highest terms. He is represented by the passen- gers asthe last officer who abandoned the boat. He stood at the wheel. cool and collected, actually encir- cled by flames. while all around was indecision and dis- may, and only abandoned his post when the tiller-ropes were burned, and votion could be of ne further service. The surviving passengers were brought to this city in the steamers F. M. Streck and Childe Harold, the officers of which deserve great credit for the kind- ness shown to the sufferers. On the Childe Harold, « subscription of $157 was raised among the passengers, in aid of those who had lost their all. Interesting from the War Quarter. FROM TAMPICO.

Woe find in the American papers of the city of Mexico, of the latest dates, the address of General Paredes to his countrymen, dated in September lat. We trans- lated it for our readers when first received. Our atten- tion has again been called to it by some one who has now seen it for the first time. A correspondent writes us. from Mexico, that Paredes appears to have very little etrength with his countrymen. Those men who agree wtth him in sentiment take pains to conceal their opinions, while a vast mujority of the people of the country are utterly opposed to his monarchical de- signs —N. O. Picayune. A FIGUTING AMBASSADOR. LFrom the N. 0. Delta, Jan. 16] lers are already aware that Mr. Doyle, who is n of the “ Emerald Inle,” is now the British Minister at the City of Mexico, Queretaro, or wherever the locomotive government of the Mexican Republic is at present exercising its funetions—he having been ap- pointed to that high trust in place of Mr. Bankhead, who some time ago resigned on account of ill health. Mr. Doyle was ercorted from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico by ® detachment of the Louisiana Battalion of Mounted Men, numbering only 40 men. under the com- mand of Capt. Fairchild; and at a time, too, when it was considered very dangerous to attempt to pasa over the route with such a mall force, infeated anit waa by hands of guerillas. A friend. who was party in the expedition, has communicated to us many emusing anecdotes, par- tioularly of her British Majesty's representative, who feom his profusion of true Milesian “ pluck.” was dubbed by the men of the ercort, “ Queen Vio 'afighting Ambar- sador”’—a cognomen evidentiy well merited. On the arrival of the command at Perote, the Go- vermor of the Castle strenuously urged on Mr. Doyle, and the commander of the escort, the propriety of their remaining there until a stronger forca should come up. as the route ahead wan infested by guerillas ; but Mr. Doyle being anzioun to reach the aceneof his diplomatic Inbors, could not brook delay. “ Go ahead, Captain,” anid he, ‘and be J—s, if there's any fighting going on, I'll take bit of a hand in it myself? The march was accordingly resumed, and the command halted the next night within a lengue and a half of where Gen. Rea was posted with » force of 500 Lancers During the esrly part of next day’s march, the escort was startled by the reports of what appeared to be the discharges of light ordnance in the chaps tral, on theleft of and close to the road. The command was instantly halted, faced to tho left, and ordera given to prepare for action ; while the captain rode forward a short distance to select @ favorable position for defensive operations, on which to fall back in the event of their being attacked by an overwhelming force, At thisatage of the camo, the Ambassador was reen emerging from a window of the diligence, with a double-barrelled shot-gun in one hand, and a kind of jnvenile “Unole Alexander” in the other. Instantly leaping on his horse, he deshed to the side of the commander of the escort, exclaiming, “ Cap- tain! where are the biackguards?—show them to me, and I'll crack their d—d heads for them ;”” at the same time fruitiersly trying, with all his might, to d formidable weapon from thi ith in which it entangled ; but, failing in dressed the commander, with, “ throst guerillas, and I can’t draw this infern: mine!’ After somelittle diMeulty. the “ infern: was, however, drawn from ita shea play ite part'in the bloody drama comm: After remaining for rot action, and no enemy appearing, the command ren its march, and resched Nopalucan without further mo- lestation It may not be amiss to inform our readers, that Mr. Doyle ia the son of the celebrated Gen. Doyle,who fought under Wellington in the wars insula, and of whom the following charecteristic a1 uthention. : On anight after a hard-fought flel and while the Duke was poring over some maps plavs of future operations, he was aroused by the pre- cipitate entrance into his tent of one of the commis rien, his countenance pale and wo.begone, like he who “drew Priam’s curtain at the dead of night.” exclaim- ing, with half a breath,“ Your Grace! Gen. Doyle and his infernal Irishmen have been fighting all day, sir. He says they’re as hungry an hounds, your Grace ; and as they've been fighting all day, they must have something to ent. They look horrible, your Grace; they're all covered with blood; and Gen, Doyle anys, if! don’t get them romething to eat. he'll be d—d if he don’t hang me on the highest tree he can find !"? The Duke looked up at the frightened commitnary, whose trepidation had not yet subsided, coolly saying, “Oh! Doyle anid so, did he? Then, my ‘good fellow, I'd advise you to look out for yourtelf, for If Doyle enld so, 1'll be d—d if he don't do it.” [tin neediess to add that Gen, Doyle's" infer- | nal Irishmen” were well fed that night.
