I promiced to give you anaccount of the state of thing here in Mexico, and now, after seoing everything, ma- king irquiviee in all quarters, and obtaining information from the most reliable sources, in reference to what the ‘gO- Vernment, and parties, and the people are doing, I hasten to communicate to you the result, I shall begin with the governmentand the political parties which are struggling for the mastery, ‘hare are feur parties hores—Viret, the ecnacrvative Or monerchical party; second, the moderate party, which is the party now in power, if it can be called power to ‘have the shadow without the substance, the name with- Out the reality; third, the p::ros, who also call themsclres the exaliados, and these aro radicals and extreme repub- licans; and lastly, the Santa Anna party, who have no ‘particular principles, except attachment to the person of the General, avd because they think he is capable of forming a strong government and consclidating the na- tion. The mowarchical perty are disposed to coalesce and fraternize with the Santa Anna party for this very Feason, They are disgusted with the government, though they belong to their party, because it is utterly weak and without energy; and they ca’culate that Banta Auna | would be just the men to take the place of Ari who has no energy whatever, und no governmental capacity, He has asked for two millions and a half of dollars, to eartyon the government, eud to meet various exi- gencies that are very pressing; but tho Con- gress have refused to give him o dollar. Tais proves his weakness, and the monarchical or ocon- | servative party, think that Santa Anna would contrive to raise finunees without xpy reference to Congress, and be strong enough to conduct the grvernment with- out consulting the represe:.atives of ube people. ‘Tae puros, too, want @ man Of energy, but a man after their own heart, if they could tind him. They want a porfeot vepublic, like the United States. This is the mot ener- etic party. Aristu’s party is the most numerous, but ey are disgusted with him. The government is para- lyzed, for wavt of energy and for want of means, and another revolation in Mezicocannot be far distant.

On motion of Mr. Bancer, the Senate took up the bill to enforce digcipline, and promote good eonduct in the Faval service of the United States. Mr. Badger then offered @ substitute for the greater part of the bill, which was adcpted. The bill provides in substance as follows :—That the commander of any vessel afloat in the navy, ¢r of any shore station, shuli have authority to punirh offences committed by petty officers, and per- sous of inferior ratings, by any one or more of the follow: ing punishiients ;—~By diminishing their rationa, by re- stricting their dict to bread and water, by imposiag extra police and other dutics; and, in cases of theft,in addi- tlon to any of the foregoing, by making good, trom the | wegen of the cilender, the value of the article stolen, and obliging the offender to wear for ten day, a badge with the word ‘thief thereon; by dicchuage from service, with bad conduct marked on their discharge; by soli tary confinement in frons, single or double,’ on bread ond Water; by solitary confinement in irons, not over thirty days; by solitary confinement; py confinement | not exceeding two mouths; reduction to inferior eating; by bell and chain, but not to be worn at sea; by de- privation of liberty on shore, and by loss of pay not ex- ceeding three months. Bection two provides that no sentence for solitary | confinement shall be put in execution until the surgeon shall certify that it can be doue without inyury to his health, In case the medical cfficer decides it would be injurious, the commander can substicute otber punish- ment. Section three provides that on every vessel a record shell be kept. in which the good and bad conduct of the | men shell be noted, and on their discharges shall be marked “good” or “bad conduct,” as the case may be, Section four provides that any one discharged with & good conduct discharge, after @ service of two years, | thal! bave the preferenes on re-entering the serviez. H Section five provides that any one having good con- duct discharges, who shail re-enter the service within three mouths, shall be entitled toa credit of three months’ | Wages, and acter twenty years’ service, with good con: | duct discharges, shell be ‘entitled to adiaission to u pro- | vision in the Naval Asylum, for life, with huif pay. Section six gives to courte martial the power to impose any of the punishments mentioned in the bill, Mr. Hair moved to add to the bill, that all commils- sions in the navy, hereafter granted, shall be for the term of ten years only—the same to be expressed in tha com bpimpess It was rejected, by yeas 7, mays 30, as fol- owe : Yras—Messre.

Mr. Arenisox chjected to the punirhment of putting men on bread and water. It was not infamous, bat it was more revere than flogging. As the sailor's back had been spared, he hoped he would not be panished in the stcmech. Le thought the stomach should be protected as well asthe back. Me moved to strike out that punish- ment. Lort, Mr Cute, (free soil) of Ohio, was opposed to putting cnapy American sailor the badge of “ thief’? He was opposed, also, to putting on hima ball and chain. He would not vote for the bail, and asked forthe yeas and nays on its engrossment. Rix Fcnators only rece to second the call for the yeas and neys Mr Case demarded a count of the negatives, and twenty-eight stood up Crain —The yeas and paye are ordered. Mr. Hary.—They are not ordered. Bix and twenty- eight make tuirly four, and five times six are thirty. (Laughter ) The Cyarm said they were not ordered. Mr. Hate derired to know if this bil was all the com- mittee intended to propose at this session? Mr. Banoer said it was not. Other measures would be reported. This was one necessary to be adopted now, in order that vessels about to go to #ea should have some discipline Me Hane desired to eee the navy put on the same foot- ing as the merchant service. Pailors in the merchant rervice received wages twenty five per cont higher than sailorsin the navy. While this lasted, the merchant tervice would bave the best eailcrs, and the nary only the dregs. The spirit ration ought to be abolished.

Now, if this paper speaks the sentiments of the consti- tutional Union party of Georgia, he (Mr Cabell) wirhed to understand whether that party was organized fcr the sake of the democratic porty? He was dispored to favor the Union Association; but would tell his friend it Was no purpore of bis to be converted into a demo- erat. He felt proud of the position which bis party ec- cupied before the country. He was a “member of the Sonthern whijg party—a con-ervative party—opposed to oll radical azrarieniem, and Sewardiem, as well as all the new fangled isms.’ He believed that the whigs mean, without the aid of the Union party. to put them- selves On constitutional ground, and on the recommen- dation of the President. that the slavery agitation shall cease, ard the compromise measures ke considered as binding and e definitive settlement. He repeated that, until reeently, there were more sound men among the demoorats than among the whiga; but he did not believe that such metate of things now exists. He referred to the remarks delivered on former occasions by Mr. Ran- toul, end said that the democrats of Massachusetts had (being unwilling that the whigs should contiaue to pos- fers the power of that State) bought up the free soiler Mr. Rawroun (free soil). cf Mass , here asked, and* permitted to explain ; and denied that he had said tha democrats had bargained with any pody to attain their present poritio hae Carters, asked —Do you consider yourself a demo- crat? Mr, Ranvor: replied, saying (hat he had beon nomi- Rated by the democrats of Marsachunetts over and over again, and when he waselected he received the largest demooratie vote ever giveu—throwing out the free soil votes. If he was not a democrat after this, and in full communion with the party, then there was none in Mas- sachusetts, Mr. Caneut resumed, and said he could not desire bet. ter proof of the fact that the gentleman was nominated and elected by the joint vote of the free soilers and de- moerats, Mr. Diswey (dem ), of Ohio, here interrupted the gen- tlemen by reyiog, I bave heard my name mentioned. Mr. Oawwii—TI read it in the paper, Mr. Disney—L avail myself of this occasion to say thot I never did in my life, at home or «broad, sympa thize with the abolicionists; on the contrary, I hays de- nounced thém. Mr, Canvit=J suppore the connection of the gentlo- man with the sbolitioniste arose from the fact that he yoted for the Wilmot proviso aad ugeinst the Fugitive Blave law. Mr, Disssy—Why ? Mr. Gaurtr—I don’t know why. Mr, Disyei—I will explain— because it was not strin- gent encng (Laughter) Mr. Canvit--In this particular the gentleman is more southern than the South iiself; (iaughter;) and it fe very singulpr that be should have voted for the Wilmot proviso. Mr.C. then branched off to spank of domo- cratic and free soil alliances, to show that the Uaion perty eould do as well by acting with the whig party as with the democratic porty, and that the delegates to the former mighy accomplisa as much good for the South, ‘The whigs of the North have heretotore had the advan. tage of the free soil votes, but now the Gemocrats have bought them up. Thank God, we have got rid of them, soa hope the democratle party may make a betier use of them. Mr, Ginises (freo soil), of Ohio—I merely wish to correct the gentioman. In the District of Ohio to which he hes aliuded, formerly represented by Mr. Root, we found the whigs voting directly for a demoorat—that wes termerly the strongest whe district in the State, but it mow sends a democrat—we whigs, if any, have been bought up Mn, Canvri—I have already said the people North ere very buynbie. Iie then referred to the declaration to abide by the compromise signed by all the Southern whige except two, and not signed by any Southern du- mocrat except Mr, Cobb, and said that the President was resolved to abide by the compromise measures, and so was Mr. We’ r—speaking for the eabinet. Besid returning to the point from which he set out, he auid, the paper frem which he read contained sufficient raa- rons why the Union party shoula not act with the de- amocratic party ; for the editor tells usthat a coalition bas been formed between the abolitionists and dis- unionists, ovd that, unless the Urion party sends dels. gates, such is the course of this combination that it will control the choice of the Baltimore Convention. ile alluded to the constitution of the committee oal Demecratio Convention.

Tho only thing ap- proaching to a tendency to excitement was some gontlee man calling for three cheers for Mrs. Sinclair, which was responded to, but had no other injurious effect. “The boys,’ who eccupied am large portion of the gallery cn Monday night, were absent. aud their places were filled by another class, In fact, the whole house appeared to bea quieter and more orderly astemblage-one that came to see the play—or rather to see Mrs. Forrest perform in it—and not to take any part in a row, or evem to witness one.
