Houston, having been elected first Pres dent under the constitution, assumed the dis- charge of his. official functions immediately after the expiration of the services of the govern- ment, ad interim, which had been established by the convention of March, 1836, to adminis- ter the affairs of the country unul the consti- tutional government was to go into operation. At this ume there was no treasury, nor any re- venue in Texas; a small and dispersed popula- non, and some portion of it, as is always the case in frontier States, of highly disorderly character, the whole not exceeding 20,000 souls, and dis- persed over an area of country exceeding in size the States of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania conjoined. To bring this chaos into form, and establish a government upon such solid fi as to command its respect and that of lions, was an enterprize no less noble init ter, than difficult in its execution. But under the wise and firm rule of Houston, order soon began to reign in every department of the new republic. The first token of confidence from abroad was the recognition of its indepen- dence by the United States, under the administra- tion of Pre: ckson. France and England sent comm: to examine the condition of the new country, which steps ultimately resulted in the recognition by those powers of the indepen- dence of Te: rate ‘Bur ta gous a na- charao- 8. The most humane and energetic measures were adopted for the protection of the frontiers, and the to savage tribes of bordering Indians ited friendly relations, and in almost every instan with the most complete success. It may be well to remark here, that it was always the policy of Ilouston to tender the hand of friendship anid protection to the benighted sons of the forest, and that this policy was found most eminently success- ful,,as was more fully exemplified in the complete pacification of all the various tribes within the borders of Texas during the period of his second Presidential term, He caused the republic to undergo a more com- plete and convenient territorial organization into districts and counties. Emigration was invited and flowed in abundantly, not only from the L , but from various portions of German . Every deseription of prope! appree: in value; abundan dl marked the home of the settler—the country in the meantime enjoyinga complete freedom fro Mexican intrusion, The public debt at the close of his first term of service, including the expen- ses of the revolution, did not ed $2,000,000,and the country possessed a circulating medium of about $600,000. These are brieily the principal incidents marking the first presidential term of General Houston in Texas; and although the frabrie had not yet ac- quired that consistency which might give the philanthropist irrefragable proof of the undoubted ultimate ability of the country to maintain itself as a separate government, yet no enquiri H un deny that its foundations were laid most judiciou: ly; laid by the three great handmaids of politica wisdom—prudence, moderation and sagacity. Houston, by the constitution, not being eligible twice consecutively, retired at the end of his presi- dential term (period of three years) leaving th republic immensely increased” in respectabil and all the attributes of prosperity; virtually at peace with Mexico, and enjoying the confidence and friendship of the neighboring Indian tribes. The republic then fell under the constitutional ad- ministration of General Lamar. he accession to office of this gentleman was marked by a total and apparen: died change in the policy which had prevailed in the adminis- tration of his predecessor. Instead of a pacific and conciliatory course towards the Indians, w: and extermination were resolved upon. This, as might have been foreseen, put the whole frontier in a blaze, jeopardizing the repose and securit the settler. The ill-fated Santa Fe expedition, though repudiated by the Congress, was, during a recess, organized and undertaken. ‘This expe- dition had the effect to break the virtual peace that previously so happily subsisted between Texas and Mexico, and essentially checked the developement of its resources. The finances of the country be- came deranged. One million and a halt of tr sury notes were srpropeated for the defence of the ist, frontier, and a halt million more for the civ at the first session of the Congress after Lam: inauguration. These issues were based upon ne adequate resources or revenues whate' nd were followed by others, so that, at the close of thisadmi- nistration, the public debt had been quadrupled the Indians on the frontier had been enra; an almost implacable degree ; Mexican was threatened, and a general want of confidence pervaded all ranks) Emigration from the United States had nearly ceased, and, on the contrary respectable people were returning from Texas ba to the States. At the termination of this disastrous administration, Gen. Houston, who had been re- cently re-elected, resumed the reins of government under these most infelicitous and appalling circum- stances. Men had lost all confidence in the capa- city of the State for self-government. The first measure of Houston’s administration was a successful effort to improve the financial con- dition of the country. He caused the further issue of ‘Treasury notes to cease y: he obtai authority from congress to issue $200,000 in chequer bills, and had the receipts at the customs redid for their redeiption ; he never issued the whole amount, but only such portion as was abso- lutely necessary to move the machine of govern- ment, and in such judicious proportions that the always answered the design contemplated in their issue, nor were ever beyond the capacities of the revenue for convenient redemption.

Anniversary Parade of Frremen—-Indignaticn Manifestations—Cincinnati Firemen—Destruc- tive Fire—Loss of Four Steamers, §c., &c. Yesterday the annual parade of. the differen, companies composing the fire department of this city, took place, and a really grand affair it was. We have some eleven or twelve companies, and on this occasion they appeared in full force, cle gantly uniformed, and b ng banners emblematic of their self-sacrificing avocation. An agreeable feature in the festivities of the day, was the pre- sence of a company of Cincinnatians—the “Ke- lief, No.2.” ‘This 18a most gallant and efficient corps, as their conduct in the sequel proved. The weather was exceedingly fine—the more so, especially at this season, from the visitation of a heavy thunder shower early in the morning. On the route of the procession, at numerous points triumphal arches spanned the way, and wreaths and flowers were thrown at intervals among the ranks of the fire warriors. A collation, at 4 o’clock, was spread at “The Park,” and it was hoped that this would have been worthy of the occasion, but it was not, owing to the cupidity of the person se- lected by the committee to prepare it. Some of the “boys, ignant at the parsimony which stamped the proc ig, seemed rather disposed to get up “‘shindy” on the occasion, but better counsel pre- uiling, there was no positive outbreak, Shortly after, the procession was dismissed, and each one retired to ‘‘rest a spell,” before the opening of the numerous balls and tea parties that were to wind up the day’s festivities, While most of the firemen and guests were yet engaged in the dance, an alarm of fire was sound- ed, and instantly the streets were thronged with the late revellers. The alarm proved to have been caused by the breaking out of fire on board the fine packet steamer Mail, Capt. Broomfield. ‘This el lay empacted between the Kate Kearney the Lightfoot, and destruction seemed to threaten all three, as well as a line of boats closely wedged together for more than a mile. Fortunate- ly, however, the Kate Kearney, by almost super- human exertions, was warped out, and this break- ing the pressure, permitted others to escape. ‘The vessel immediately below the Kate, however, was lost, together with the two just above the Mail The lost boats are the Mail, Missouri Mail, 1 foot and Mary. ‘They were all empty, so that the loss is comparatively light—say $30,000, All were insured pt the Mail. No one appears to kno how the fire originated. When I first saw it—: few minutes after the al: en—a dense mass of smoke was bursting from every part of the cabin, In another moment a flash like that of r was seen, and the dark column was trans- d into livid, leaping fla t hastening, p erew fh ou n d barely time to escape the raging element, some of them without their clothes, nong the first at the rescue were the Cinein- ir guests, They did effic d themselves inost able firemen, aad worthy the name they bear—the Rel ‘Trade is very dull here, and we have had a few failures.

A Butt toenable the President of the United States to take temporary military occupation of Yucatan. Whereas, an exterminating war is now being waged by the Indian upon the white population of Yucatan, which, if not arrested, threatens the extinction of the white race : and whereas, Yucatan, as one of the States of Mexico, is entitled to the protection of the Mexican government ; and, whereas, by reason of the existing war, the authority of the Mexican government has been, to a great extont, supprossed within the limits of Mexico, and the military authority of the United States substituted in its stead ; and whereas, to such substitution is to be mainly attributed the impanity which is now given to cruejty and outrage On tho part ofthe insurgents, justice and good faith to Yucatan, as well as the existing armistice with Mexico, require, as inthe case of other Indian invasions of Mexican territory during the war, that the United States, ha- ving superseded the power of Mexico. should assume the protection of Yucatan, until Mexicg shall be in a condition to re-assume the samo.

[The amendment was rejected yesterday, 5 to 26.) And on May 16, the following amendment was pro- posed by Mr. Dix :— Strike out the first section after the enacting clause, and insert the following That the President of the United States be autho- rized to employ the army and navy of the United States to aid in putting an end to the war of devastation in Yucatan: Provided, the aid hereby athorized be ren- din concurrence with the government of that The residue of the bill being retaincd as reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations. THE VIEWS OF MR. DIX, Mr. Drx, after a preliminary statement of the caso. commended the President for the act of referring t subject to Congress. His course would have been in fensible had he done otherwise. ‘The question was gi- ven to Congress for its deliberation—the President ha- ving gone no further than to lay the subject before the two houses, The proposed interposition depended mainly upon the public policy of the measure as affect- ing the general doctrine of non-intervention. Mr. Dix thought that we could and should interfere in this case. To ascertain the grounds of justification, it would be necessary to look at the past and present relations of Yucatan with Mexico, and the existing relations of Mexico with the United States. Yucatan was never ander the Mexican Viceroyalty of Old Spain. She was govern- ed by a Captain General who reported, immediately to Madrid, In 1821, Yucatan achieved her independence without the uid of Mexico; and in 1824, she became one of the Mexican States under the express condition that her obligations as such were only to last with the constitution, In 1534, the constitution of 1824 was overthrown by Santa Anna, and an army sent to Yucatan, which overrun the country, occu- cupied Merida, the capital, and reduced the peninsula to the despotism of the central governm This lasted till 1849, when Yucatan declared hi lepen- dence, but by treaty, in 1341, she again became a part of Mexico, with certain reservations of her revenue, Xe. ‘This treaty, ratified by Yucatan, was never rati- fied by Mexico; so far from it. in 1842 she sent another army of invasion, which, after occupying Me- rida, and investing Campeachy, was successful in re- storing Yucatan again to Mexico, in 1843, Complain- ing of the bad faith of Mexico. in 1846, the peninsula again dissolved her allegiance, in March of that year, when the existing war with the United States’ was anticipated in all parts of Mexico. Yucatan, on the war breaking out, refused to furnish her quota of men and munitions of war; and though shy at one time leaned to the government of Santa Anna, from tho beginning of the war she has main- tained a neutrality. NotwithStanding these changes there have been good grounds for declining an an acknowtedgment of her independence. We have therefore. considered her part of the Mexican republ though shew as deemed to be independent. and has be partially recognized asa neutral in this war. On broad basis of our international policy we have still re garded her as attached to Mexico, though we have treated her as riot associated with the common enemy. Such. then, are our relations towards Yucatan. With Mexico there is a treaty pending, and an armistice ix now in force, A strictly military occupation of Yu- catan would be incompatible with these existing re- lations with Mexico. Wecanonly act with refer to Yucatan as we would with Jaliseo, Tabasco. Sinaloa. or any other of the States of Mexico ; which we cannot now occupy by 2 military force without the assent of of the central government. But it is only to the form of the proposed intervention I olject. As a military incident I am of opinion that every real or legal objec- tion ean be obviated ; may be accorded, I and third sections of the bill, relating to the art munitions and xupplies. I know nothing more revolt- ing in the history of modern times than this war of devastation in Yucatan—this war of the extermination by the aborigines of the European race, where neither age, nor sex, nor condition, nor re- ligion is respected; where the infant ix slain at its mother's breast, and the priest is imm altar, No man can read of these atr desire to see them ended. (Mr. Dix here read the ori ginal first section of the bill.) The difficulty was this, that by the interposition thus proposed. the President authorized to take military occupation of Yucatan, as without the assent of the government. I propose to substitute a section which provides that our action shall be in. concurrence with the supreme government of Yucatan, In the first section we shall act so as to supersede it; by the substitute we interpose our mili- tary occupation in subordination to the government of the country. Under the armistice, we may, and we have seit detachments to the succor of the white in- itants in Chuhuila and Chihuahua against the In- ‘A moasure like this, then, cannot be regarded as an act of war, but as an act of mercy ~The armistice expressly requires it. Jy friend say# such interposition is re- quired by the armistice. The objection, then, would be in failing to provide the President with means.rather thanin authorizing him to actas proposed, In placing the army and navy underhis control it is desirable that he shall know the peeifie terms and limitations under which he is to employ them. This is not only a ques- tion of relief but of redress. If we were at peace with Mexieo, it would be an embarrassing question. 1 doubt whether in that case we could ibterfere, But there are cases that may arise, which, lifting them- selves above all defined laws of human action, would call for an interposition. But they are extreme casos which transcend the limits of constitutional or inter- national laws, In regard to the second and third sections of the bill, he was ready to vote for them, with the first rection amended as he a, #0 that we should act in con- currence with the government—so that while we should give relief to Yucatan. we give no cause of b to Mexico, Mr. Dix here took occasion to refer to the ure of English arms by the Yucatan Indians. He read from a Kingston, Jamaica, paper, showing that British traders had been farnishing # to the said Indinus—that the government of Yucat hed appeal. ed to the English aythorities to suspend this ry approve it ties y a 0M the part of the British authori. a Cat, teasteeny of Yucatan, without the strongest cireumstantial proof, ought to be made. Yet we could not shut eur cyes to us, | Reverting then to the Spain, particularly that of 1783, a priviloges to Great Britain to cut log- sny. Sc, and certain fishing privileges to British mmbyects enyzaged in this lumber business, Mr. Dix showed that Great Britain had transcended the of that treaty, both as regards the privileges conceded, and the extent of territory over which they were to apply. ‘The territory well defined in the trea- ty, and limited tojfive orsix thousand squate miles. had been enlarged by actual occupation to 14.000 or 15.000 square miles, aud was claimed by tho Encyclopedia Britannica, and other high English authorities, to em- brace 62,000 or 63.000 square miles, which would not only embrace the wholo territory of the Belize. but the entire peninsula of Yucatan, with room for expansion to the Southward, Mr. Dix eularged upon the encroachments of Great Britain. from the Belize, all along shore, down to the river San Juan de Nicauraga, He showed that the King of the Mosquitoes, and his sovercignty over the Mosquito coast, was all'a farce, intended but to cover the actual sovereignty of Great Britain, The King of the Mosquitoes was a woolly headed savage, but little above the lowest of his subjects. His throne is a sand hill, his sceptre a reed, and his robe of state a common blanket. Yet it would appear that he treats with na- tions; that, under the guidance of British diploma- tists, he may put armies and fleets inaction, and move forward “With royal banners And all the pomp and circumstance of glorious war.”? It was alla farce. Great Britain, in fact, had seized upon the country, and, under the pret nee of protecting the Mosquito king in his dominions, was extending his boundaries, inaki ng surveys, ‘maps, charts. &e., indi- cative of her actual occupation, and intention to ap- propriate the territory in all that region to her own purposes, After producing authentic proofs of these charges from British documents and papers, Mr. Dix proceeded to an exposition of the powers of goyern- ment under international, as contradistinguished from constitutional law, showing the mutual obligations of nations to each other under the international code ; and that many of theso duties are not even alluded to in the domestic constitutions of mations, but that it is binding upon the whole family of ‘nations to preserve intact the well understood Iqws toward the preseryation of the geneyal harmony. But to prevent a breach of these laws he would not inter- fere inn case between European nations, nor in any case in which, by oxpress or implied obligations, it was not our duly to interposo. But this was a dif forent oase, He then went on to exhibit the prostration of commerce, and the loss of revenues in Yucatan, $50 or $60,000 having beon collected at Laguna alone by our officers, for a portion of the last year, as having consequence of the war with Mexico, to which we are a party; and that the results of this war, aud the contributions of our armies in Yucatan, as well as Mexico, have disabled the government from meeting tho exigencies under which the country is now so vorely suffering, If Yucatan had no other claim, t of itself would be sufficient to require our aid. | Mir Dix then approved of the bill, under the terms he h: indicated, as a measure of policy and of justice. and it would be a grateful reflection that in an act of justice like this, we shall also have contributed in so great a degree, as we shall contribute in the suppression of this war in Yucatan, in behalf of the great cause of humanity. In conclusion, he drew a striking picture of the contrast between the present happi- ness and prosperity of the United States, and the dark and bloody scenes of gloom and desolation that mark tho existing reign of terror and devastation in Yuca- tan; where men, women and children, gre flying from their homes for their lives, 3nd naked gnd famishel, are gathered along the sea shore, looking out for some ing vessel to take them from the black and deso- ttea land they have left behing Mr. GiavroN.—is the Senator perfectly sitisfied in his own mind, that there is a war of races now existing in Yucatan? Mr. Dix.—What doos the Senator say? Mr. CLavros repeated his intorrogatory. Mr. Dix.—I am perfectly satisfied, from all the ovi- dence before me. Tho Indinys gre destroying every thing before them—the whites are doing nothing of the kind—thelr groat object is to escape with their lives. Finally, Mr. Dix urged that the restoration of peace to Yucatan, through the interposition of our army and navy as proposed, would confer upen us more enduring glory than an hundred victories gained at the point of the bayonet, and the cannon’s mouth, NEWS—THE BILL rostpoxED Mr Hanyrcan rose and observed that it was due to the Senator from New York to state, that since ho had risen to address tho Senate, information had been re. ceived, through the Baltimore line, of a treaty having been ‘entered into butwoen the whites and Indiqns uf Yucatan, of the most likeral terms an bath sides. Frou rivate information received, there war every reason to lieve this news was true. With this intelligence. and with the view of waiting official information froin Yucatan, he would move that the hill be passed infor- mally by. Mr. Dix—TI regret that I had not heard ef this infor- mation. I should not then have troubled the Senate with 1m; Mr. Haxxxcax—I do not regret it. It has afforded the Senator from New York an opportunity of ma a fine speech, as he always does, to hear him, ng nd we are always glad SOMEWHAT CURIOUS. Mr. Unprnwooo—I rogret it, because it cuts off my speech, 1 wish the Senator had waited with his iu- formation a little longer, though I am glad to hear it Mr. U. then took occasion to remark, that it was some: what curious that the President, though informed by Mr. Siorra two months ago of the devastating war in Yucatan, bad not acted on this information nutil Governor Mendez had offered up the sovereignty of the country as n reward for our assistance. But n there having been a treaty between Mr. Pat, on th side of the Iudians, and Gov. Barbecheno on the side of the whites, he hoped we should pass over the bill. THE REASON WHY. Mr. Haxxecan said, the reason why the President had not acted earlier on this information of Mr. era, was, that he was waiting for its official confirma- tion by our own officers. Mr. Sierra not being here in any recognized diplomatic capacity, his information could only be regarded as that of a private individual Mr. H. suid he also had desired to speak upon the bill in closing the debate, but a sense of duty. under th: news received, had induced him to move, at once. to lay the bill aside, and wait for further advices. AN APPARITION, Mr. Nits willingly acquiescod in the postponement till further information from Yucatan. But he thought that also the news received. had changed in a degree the question of humanity ; it did not alter the policy of this measure, which was the great argument for passage, The nows docs not bring us auy evidence of any change in the alleged designs of Great Britain, s0 pi A urged upon us by the chairman on Foreign Relations. But, at last, sir, he appears to have been actuated by a livelier view ‘of humanity than of his apprehensions of the grasping power of England,which, like an apparition, so constantly haunts iis, imagina tion! (Laughter.) MM. HANNEGAN WAKES UP, Mr. Hanxecan was roused. He had never been alle to understand, from the Senator's speeches, what he intended to do. I will tell the Senator, that, in refer- ence to the dangers from Great Britain, we have a squadron there. Ido not abate a jot of what [hay said. Ishould be a demagogue and an imposter, if, with the information received, I had taken any other course than the motion I have made, Mr. H. then said that 400 marines had been ordered from Aivarad Yucatan, and that, if they should come {nto eollisi with a British foree there, war would be inevitable Before arraigning him in his course with regard to thia bill, Mr. Hannegan thought the Senator from Conneeticut had better look to his own acts, not only against his constituents, but against the professions of his whole political life. MR, NILES PUTS IN A REJOINDE Mr. Nixs—The Senator from India} to urraign me for my course here, nor any other man, My course has been dictated by my con- science and by @ sense of duty to my constituents, and I will compare votes and speeches upon every qi tion with that Senator or any other as a proof of fide has no right ty to prinefple. That is the true test upon which to be tried, and upon which Lam ready to stand or fall T have always stood by my principles, It ix not for ne to say whether others have failed or not. But the o'd school in which I was educated taught me that peac: was the policy of our external relations, Iregret the di - rtures which I have witnessed from that policy. Mr. Niles charged upon Mr. Hannegan, that in his demancs for 54 40, in his opposition to the late treaty with Mex'- co, and in his introduetion of this rash and uni for measure, which might involve us in. difficulti which uo human ingenuity can foresee, and in dixas- trous entanglements with the Spanish powers on. this continent—in all these instances. looking only to war, Mr. Hannegan had shown himself a rash lead- er in his, Mepartures, from the old democracy Mr, Niles stood by his old principles. I will stand fast by them, and if they are to go down. they shall not go down by any treachory of mine, nor to Ang tracklling of mine to any power that may direct the affairs of this government for the timo, Recurring to the course of Mr. Hannegan upon this bill, Mr. Niles handled him with severity on deserting his und of policy. but dis avowed any intention of offending tho Senator in what he had sai ALL mont Mr. Hawneaan defended his course on the several war measures alluded to, on the appeal that he looked to the preservation of the honor of the country, with- out which peace was injurious, though we owe to peace all the blessings which we enjoy. After what the Se- nator from Connecticut had said, Mr. H, deemed it just to himself to say to the Seuctor that he was ac- ‘tuated towards him by none but the kindest feelings. Mr. Unperwooo and Mr. Haxwxoay had some conver- sntion in respect to the credence given to the informa- tion of Mr. Sierra, by the executive; the former con- tending that Mr. Sierra. from certain acts of the admi- nistration, in November last, was regarded in a diplo- matic eapacity—and the latter contending that he was not; and that consequently his information could not be acted upon as sufficient for an official act of the President A SEVERE LReTURR. Mr. Foote next took the floor, and for an hour or more devoted all his energies to a rebuke of Mr. Cal- houn and Mr. Niles, for their recent course in the Se- nate, upon sundry measures appertaining to our exte- rior relations. le was particularly severe with Mr. Calhoun, and denounced his course upon the Freneh resolutions, the mission to Rome, the Mexican war, and this bill for the relief of Yucatan. — Upon all thgse measures, the caution of the senator from South Caro- lina had carried him over to the side of the opposition; and he who, in his day, had beon the proud and idol- ized champion of the democracy, was no longer worthy of their countenance. THR CONCLUAION Gon. Hovstow arose, and squared himself, as if he were about to dpen with a long speech upon the Senate, and the countenances of those around him looked gloomy from the preseptiment of cold dinner, for i eas yma h e Aone htin oo i PRE NIRE e cean was tho Senate adjourned, Appointments by the President.

Kilburn, 3d artillery, to From Trxas.—The steamship Galveston, Capt Crand, arrived yesterday from Galveston, having sailed thence on the 7th inst. The news is not of im- portance. Th ian of the Sth inst. says that they have tho mort favorable accounts of the crops from%very section of the State. ‘The rains have been general. The Civilian has accounts from the Rio Grande, and furnishes the following item of information : “ A party of some ten or twelve Americans and Mexicans united was recontly formed in Matamoras, to go out upon the road, and rob # private train of wagons belonging to American traders and bound for Camargo. Their plans were discovered, and some four or five of the robbers arrested and thrown into prison, where they now re- main.” ‘The Austin Democrat, of the 22d ult., says a report reached Austin of the murder, by the Indians, of three men attached to a party of surveyors ongaged in lo- cating lands on the waters of the Brazos, near John- ‘trading house. The Democrat says : The party ‘ec about moving their camp, and had left the three to guard « portion of their baggage, while the ba- lance of the company would procure ® more conve- nient situation, On their return. after an absence of a day, they found the dead bodies of their three com- rades, with their hearts cut out and suspended to their necks. The nextday, while a party of Capt. Johnson's men were out on a scout, they came across an Indian, who endcayored to escape, and being closely pursued, he turned and fired on the whites. Hs was Notnediate: ly brought to the ground by a shot from one of the company. The Indians were thought to be Wichitas and Wacoes, We learn from the Victoria Advocate, that a most brutal murder was committed at Refugio about the middle oftast month, by a man named Daniel Doty, on x citizen named Simpon. The latter passed ome joke on Doty Iu s public honse, who, drawing a knife, stabbed the other six different times. Doty was a re- fagee from Alabaina, where, xome years ago, he had Killeda man, The Houston Star learns that a party of Indians, amongst whom there were several Wacoes, recently visited Torrey’s trading house, They stated that the Indians killed some weeks since on the Llano by Capt, Highsmith’s company, were not Wacoes, but renegades of the ‘Towiash village. ‘This statement w: not fully credited. They further stated that those In- dians were invited by the Lipans to goon a horse- stealing expedition. and when the Rangers came upon them, the Lipans abandoned them to their fate. Al- though the various tribes who have since visited the trading house manifested po hostility on account of the Indians who were killed, it is thought their rela- tives will be diepe to seek revenge; and the mur- der of the three surveyors of Capt Johnson’s party was most probably an act of retaliation.—New Orleans May 10. oF TH PIONAT, WASHINGTON Moxement.—The building committee of the National Washington Monument, are happy to announce that the excavation for the foundation of the monument has been completed, anu the masonry will be very soon commenced. ‘The corner stone—a white marble block of six or cight tons—will be at the railroad depot in a fow days, when it is intended to place it upon a large stone wagon, and it is oxpeoted to be conveyed to the site of the montnent by our fellow-citizens, under the direction and management of Mr. Philip Ennis, and of which due notice will be given to the public.
