Mr Sevier'was to leave for Vera Cruz in company with Gen, Bu'ler, on Weduesday, tho 7th inst.; but we hay not reen their departure announced in the papers wi have yet read. “After twice tendering his resignation “of the Presi- dency, Gen Herrera consented to accept it. Befors he did this there were already nine candidates for the Provisional Presidency. He Took the oath of office on the 8d inst.

Our forces are 10 be at once withdrawn, and the ports surrender- ed to the Mexican authorities, The Siglo XLX. ennounces that on the Sth inst., the 2d, 9th, and 10th Regiments of Infantry, of the army of Mexico. three companies of cavalry, a company, of artillery. and the legion of St. Patrick, were to leave Queretaro, and march to attack Paredes. The same troops would also be employed in putting gown some Indisn insurrections. Father Jarauta, and a man named Martines Negrete. at the head of « small foree, surprised on the 1-t inst, the garrisou at Lagos. They made the Prefect priso- ner, and proclaimed a “plau’? disavowing the prevent Mexican Congress, and declaring that the States would resvme their sovireignty for the voutiuuation of the war From Lagos the pronunciados proceeded to Ciene- ga de Matain search «fans. it is supposed that the government is inclined to chastise these disturbers of the peace with severity, as it hus already taken the necessary measures for so doing. A letter from Queretaro, dated 4th instant, says that this movement ofJarauta is directed and controlled Ddy Paredes, whois determined to effect a revolution in saver of his monarchical schemes. He is accused of fomenting the Indian insurrections. The cries or rites with which Jarauta entered Lagos, were “ Hurra for the movarchy,”’ “ Death to the liberals,’ and “War upon the Yankees.” His numbers, however, are con- temptibly insignificant. Jarauta ‘threatens to hang gui ge vernors and Prefects who do not aid him in waging war against the ‘kees. Later letters from Quere- taro say that Jarau tiv ‘8 plans had proved totally abor- frem the wholesale desertion of his few followers. he Siglo cays that more than thirty [300 ?] Ame- jcan soldiers have determined to remain in Mexico, and with them many officers, who have offered their services to the Mexican government. The sessions of Congress were to be suspended at Queretaro on the 13th, to be resumed in the city of Mexico on the 15th. In this connection we give the following letter from Mexico : — Mexico, June 13.—Gen. Worth and his division left the city yesterday, after exchanging salutes, which were fired, by both parties, before the American flag wastaken down, and atter the Mexican flag was hoist- ed. Allis tranquil, and the Mexicans appear to be perfectly satisfied and happy, though I fear they will not long remain so. The Mexican government arrived at Tacubaya on the §thinst., but finding the Americans had not left, repaired to Mixconc, where they staid until to-day, Ba or they made their grand entry into the city. ‘The Mexican papers confess that various outrages have been perpetrated upon their country women, sus- ected of tco intimate intercourse with the American roOpR Gen. Rangel, of refolationtey, note, has beon arrest- ed by the Mexicun government as a seditious person. On the night of the 7th inst.an American sergeant ‘was murdered in a tavern in Mexico. His sesassination is yariourly attributed to Mexicans, and to members of his own ecmpany. Gen. Kearny’s division marched from the city of Mexico the morning of the 6th inst. Letters frem Zacatecas make mention of a threat- ened incursion of 2,000 Camanches into the State of San Luis. This news of course excited general terror. ‘We give here a letter from one of our correspon- dents, who was at Jalapa on the 11th inst., on his way down to Vera Cruz:— Javava, June 11,—1 errived at this place yesterday evening, in cight days from the city of Mexico, and found that General Patterson's brigate bad left the city the day before for El Encero, where thoy were to encamp uviil transportation could be furnished, The Kentucky brigade, under command of Col.

Major Polk parred uathe day before yesterday, bear- ing the ratified treaty of peace, He reports all quiet in the eity. with the exception of somo slight manifesta- tions of feeling against those Mexicans who are sup- pored to have particularly favored the Americans. By- ‘the-bye, a report has been received here that many of the common women of the city who showed themselves at all partial to los Vanquies, have been brand -d on the cheek with the letters“ U. $27 This i+ not improba- ble, as such things were done at Cuornavaca and San Angel very foon after our troops left those places, and before I left the city. An order bas been issued by General Marshall, since his arrival here, that all persons who have been in any way connected with gambling establishmonts in Mexico, should leave the Department of Jalapa within twelve hours after their arrival. As the town was com- pietely filled with these gentry, the commotion and exeitement caused by the receipt of this order was intense, and denunciations both loud and deop might Te heard on all sides. About two hundred of them left to day, while a few have determined rather to brave the wrath of * fat Tom" than the vomito. The health of the volunteer troops here and at En- ecro is very good, Inthe Kentucky brigade, but few Dave died since they started from Mexico, and those only who were sick When they left.

Very Interesting Intelligence from Vencezuctia =—The Progress of the Civil War in that Republic, We have received, by the arrival of the brig Al- matia, Captain Smith, at Boston, the following highly interesting intelligence from Venezuela, despatched to us by our energetic correspondent at Curacoa, It contains intelligence from that coun- try to the latest moment :— Curacoa, June 15, 1848, Intelligence from Maracaibo—Affairs in Venezuela—The Ruin of a Fine Country, §e. I regret the departure of the Almatia, for your port, does not enable me to give you all the particulars from | Maricaibo of the evacution thereof by tho Paczistes, ahd its occupation by the government troops under Marina; but from what I can learn from reliable sources, it appears that Serrano, the Governor of Ma- racaibo, who sent @ flag of trace to Goneral Monagas, at Altagracia, (immediately opposite Maracaibo, in the lagoon.) and who demanded in terms of capitulation an “induito” for all concerned against tue governme a respect fox all persons and property. and the rete tion of grades for those who had seceded froin the #6 vice, failed, and received an answer U such would be the case as far as concerned all but twenty persons, to whom he reserved the right of inflicting the punish- ment of death, exile for life, or any other ti hem! deem proper. General Monsgas had, in the pe Alexander Boyer, French consul, and also in the per- fon of the Spanich consul at Maracaibo, the meus of tampering with many in the town, which, however, was discovered, and Boyer, fearing the cousequences, left with his family and came to Curacoa.

Quite a feat to walk up into the capitol on such a duy, the ascent being over an exposed flagging, which burns like a reflector, and the level of the two houses being some two hundred feet above the level of the Ti- ber. The monotony of the morning hour was broken in upon this morning, by a passage ut arms be- tween two or three of the military chieftains of the Senate. Sometime ago, General Davis, of Mis- siseippi, presented a flag from General Twiggs, to the Senate, to be by them placed on file, as among the national relics in the possession of the govern- ment. The flag was the “ star spangled banner,” smoked and dus'y, and pierced with balls from the battle fields of Mexico, having been borne in triumph from Vera Cruz to the capital, and being the first flag of this republic eve, raised upon the summit of £ Palacto Nucionale of the imperial city of the Aztecs, The soldiers, who so bravely bore it onward from victory to victory, return it to the government, under whose orders they fought, covered with evidences of the glory tiey have won. Gen. Jeflerson Davis to-day (himself a relic from the northern column of the army—a cripple from Buena Vista’s bleody field), presented a pa- per from an officer of the southern column, setting forth his evidence in the matter relating to the elevating of the flag of our country on the Na- tional Palace of the enemy’s capital, which paper Mr, Davis moved be printed. * [The paper, we under: of the division of Gen. question.] Gen, Foote (a general of the galli tia of Mississippi, on the home ser that his coll maintains the title s to the honor in ant State mili- ice) regretted ague had not first consulted with him before presenting this paper, as it was calculated to do injustice to a noble Mississippian, who had eminently distinguished himself in this war, and particularly in the erpture and occupation of the city of Mexico (Gen, Quitman). Ir. Butler, of S. C. (brother of Col. Butler, commanding the South Carolinians at Churubusco, where he was slain), submitted his understanding of the history of the fight at the Garita de Belen, the entrance to the city, by the army. Gen. Quitman, at that point, under a severe fire of the retiring enemy, had first raised a handkerchief on the top of a musket, as a signal of victory, which wes elevated on the evemy’s works. Calling for a fiag, that of the South Carolina regiment was produced, and the Palmetto flag, the flag of South Carolina, was the first raised on the walls of the city. n. Davis was aware of the facts alluded to by Senator from South Carolina, and in his course upon thisquestion, had not attempted to invalidate them, or do any thing which :might detract from the merits of the distinguished citizen of his own State, alluded to by his colleague. He had not imegined that this was a strife between Generals, but fetween subalterna, between one or two lieu- tenants, and a sergeant of Marines. He himself, neither in the Senate, nor elsewhere, had entered into this scramble for small honors. He left that to the subordinates. “4 _ Gen. Foote stated that he had not imputed any intention on the part of his colleague to detract rom the well earned honors of Gen. Quitman. He did not think that the State of Mississippi con- ained a wretch who was base enough to be guilt of euch conduct. Nor had he imputed to his col- league any desire to scramble for the smalier honors, either here or elsewhere, of which he thought his vehement disclaimer was altogether unnecessary and gratuitous. 2 Mr. Davis said he was aware that his colleague had made no personal imputations upon him, an his colleague must have known 90. Personal im- uutations would not be replied to by him in, that bod: . There was another manner of notict such things, and another place. (A murmur ol inquiry was here audible among Senators—“* What is all this ?”) : Gen. Foote again rose, and referred to his former remarks as an evidence of the desire on his part to avoid giving offence to his cclleee ‘ edged A and said that his colleague had acknowl there was no personal impvtations made. therefore, thought that his colleague, in ge to the course he weuld have pursued, had suc been the case, and in alluding so significantly to the arbitrament he would have appealed to, manifested a spirit and temper which was not called for by anything said or done by him. And he would now only say—[Here Mr. Butler and other Senators, attempted to interpose, but General Foote insisted on his right to the floor, and they took their seats] He would only say that had an invitation to such an arbitra~ ment been presented to him, there was no man on earth he would more willingly accommodate than his colleague. Major Borland, one of the American detachment captured at Encarnacion, by General Minon, then went into a detailed statement of the operations of General Worth’s division, in the capture of Mexi- co, which had passed under his own observation, (he having been marched with his fellow prisoners some (00 miles to the city of' Mexico for safe keep- ing, by order of Samta Anna.) The, keys of the city were surrendered by the authorities toGeneral Worth, who forwarded them promptly to General Sco‘t. The latter then ordered Worth to remain in his potition, at the entrance of the city, until General Quitman had entered and taken posses- sion of the palace. _ Mr. Dayton here interposed, and on his motion whole subject was laid on the table. ‘hese army disputes do seem to be the most diffi- cult, things to settle in the world. We hope that the {two Senators from Mississippi will not mag- nify this thing into a casus belle Let the army officers settle their disputes among themsélves. The wax being over, they will have plenty of time for the settlement of their accounts, ‘The House bill, reducing the Maj. Generals of the army to three, &c., was so modified ag to retain all six till the 4th March next; and further, to allow to all the officers and men, honorably discharged, &c., three months’ extra pay. The bill was then sent back to the House for their concurrence.
