Adjourned
Fripay, Jan. 22.—1 n the Senate, the ten regi
ment bill came up. Gen, louston offered his a
mendment for volunteers instead of regulars. He
said he had never entertained but one opinion in
regard to the war, and it was this, that Mexico
would never accept terms of peace, until she felt
the calamities of -war. IHer inclination for peace
must be the result of her necessities. Tt was left
for us to carry on the war in such a manner as to
compel her to make peace.
Mr Allen offered a substitute for Mr IHouston’s
project ; providing for raising ten thousand volun
teers in addition to the ten regiments.
Mr Allen said it was high time that Congress
had begun to act, in relation to the extraordinary
circumstances in which the country was placed.
He would predict, from his knowledge of the Amer
ican heart that the procrastination of Congress
would create a general sympathy for the President.
The people were for prosecuting the war and they
would condemn Congress for not infusing vigor in
to the war, and sustaining the President. The non
‘action of Congress would create the impression up
‘on the enemy that the waris to limp and linger
‘along; that we would be at peace with Mexico,
~while Mexico is at war with us. Nothing would
‘enable us to make a peace but to stack our arms in
i the capital of Mexico and then treat.
l Mr Crittenden thought a regular force was ne
cessary to carry on a foreign war, as formidable as
the Mexican war had proved to be. He was wil
’ ling to give the President all the supplies he want
“ed for the prosecution of the war.
i The bill was further debated by Messrs. Cass,
Crittenden, luntington, R. Johnson and others;
‘and many amendments were suggested.
~_ Mr Houston’s amendment was rejected, 14 to 28.
The Senate adjourned at 1-4 to 7 until Monday,
without further action on the bill.
i In the House, Mr Boyd, from the select commit
tee to whom was referred the Bill to inerease the
i pay of regulars and volunteers reported an-amend
‘atory Bill which was read twice and referred to the
Committee of the Whole, and made the special or
“der for Monday.
~ Mr Stephens, of Geo., asked leave to introduce a
) Joint resolution declaring that war against Mexico
is not waged with a view to the conquest or dis
'memberment of any portion of her territory ; that
it is the desire of the United States to terminate
hostilities on terms honerable to both parties; em
‘bracing liberal sentiments on our part on questions
growing out of the proper and rigHtt'ul boundary of
Texas, and the full recognition thereof on her part,
~and proper provision for the payment of the just
‘claims of our citizens,"~the whole to be adjusted
by negotiation, instituted according to the estab
lished forms of each Government respectively. Ob--
jection being made to receive the resolution, Mr
Stephens moved a suspension of the rules, and de
‘manded the yeas and nays—yeas 76, nays 88. The
House refused 72 to 108 to go into the Committec
of the Whole on the State of the Union.
After some action on private bills, the House ad-
Journed.
SATURDAY, Jan. 23.—The Scnate was not in
session, v
In the House, the Fexan post road bill was de
bated, and the subject of Texan Boundaries was
incidentally discussed.
“An amendment declaring that the Act did not
express the opinion of Congress as to boundary,
was rejected ;63 to 97. The Bill passed by a
vote of 115 to 50. . 5
FROM THE ARMY.
T}le only news of interest from our army receiv
ed since our last, consists of despatches from Gen
eral 'l‘;!{‘o!‘ at Monterey, Dec. 22, representing that
he had left that place on the 15th for Victoria, and
was joined at Montemorelos on the 17th, by the 8d
infantry and 2d regiment of Tennessee, foot from
Camargo, and it .was intended to march with the
whole force (3500 men) on the 19th for Vietoria;
but receiving a despatch from General Worth that
Santa Anna was approaching to attack Saltillo, the
General returned to Monterey with the regular
force, in order to be in a position to reinforee Sal.
tillo if necessary. The volunteers under General
Quitman, reinforced by a field battery, were order
ed to continue their march and effect a junction
with Gen. Pattérson at Victoria.
- In the meantime Gen. Butler and Gen. Wool, be
ing advised by Gen. Worthof a probable attack up
on his ‘Kgsition moved rapidly to }(:m him with all the
available force at Parras and. Monterey, while or
ders were despatched by Gen. Butler to hasten up
troops from the rear, * The latter General proceed
ed in person to Saltillo, and assumed command,
agreeably to instructions which had been given by
Gen. Taylor before his departure, to meet a case
like this.
Gen. Taylor had proceeded beyond Montemg
on his way to Saltillo, when he was met on the 20t
by a despatch from the post, announcin{; the early
arrival of Gen. Wool's column, and also that the
expected concentration and movement of the Mex
ican troops upon that position had not taken place
—indeed, that their advanced posts had been rath
er withdrawn. Deeming the force there and soon
to be at Saltillo quite sufficient to repel any dem
onstration at. this season from San Luis Potosi, Gen.
Taylor did not think it worth while to throw for
ward Gen. Twiggs’ division to that place, and after
resting it a day, designed putting it again in march ;
for Victoria, to which point he was to proceed
himself. l
Gen. Patterson was supposed to be then well on
his march from Matamoros to Victoria, when his
division, except the Alabama rangers (in garrison
at Tampico) will be bronght together. ~With a
force holding in observation the passes from Tula, ‘
the garrison at Tampico may be reduced with ad
vantage to the service. '
- FROM MEXICO.
News has been received from Vera Cruz to the 2d
inst., and from the city of Mexico to the 31st ult. San
ta Anna had been clected President by two majority.
We glean the following facts from a letter dated “ Ha
vana,Jan. 7,” and published in the Washington Union .
Santa Anna was at San Luis on the 25th ultimo,
with, report said, twenty thousand troops, but in
fact, only about fifteen thousand, and that he talk
ed of marching on“to Saltillo; that the Congress
was made up of anything but the better part of the
community, and, in fact, were composed of what is
called in Mexico, sans culottes, who had nothing to
lose, and of course they were for war ; that Congress
had agreed to a loan of one million dollars. The
clergy were opposed to it, and it was thought even
that amount could not be obtained. If they suc
ceeded in obtaining this lean, it was to last the war
for six months.
“ Almonte had retired from the war chair, and
Canalizo had taken his seat. who was thought to be
pacifie. The wealthy citizens of Mexico, and those
who have the means of living, are for peace, but for
the moment are compelled to close their lips. Nev
ertheless they, by voting for Herrera, showed their
i feclings on the subject. The stepping aside of Al
'monte-at this moment means something that we
have yet to learn.
- “The troops in Vera Cruz are badly paid and
worse fed, numbering three thousand five hundred,
and the castle about eleven hundred, with provis
“ions only for a month at a time.
l “The information from Tumpico, received at
Vera Cruz by the last packet, m relation to the
conduct of our troops, had calmed the feelings be
fore felt towards the volunteers by the Vera Cru
zanos, 2nd they speak in the highest terms of the
American General for the measuves he took to se
cure private property and persons, and that the
excitement against the Americans at Vera Cruz
was daily subsiding. Vera Cruz was indignant
against Santa Anna and his government, which
was manifested by the r late unanimous vote for
Herrera.
Capeachy had again declared her nentrality, and
was marching on to the eapital (Meridi) with six
thousand troops, in order to bring her into the
measure ; and that Guatamala had claimed the state
of Tabasco, and in fact, up to the Isthmus of Dari
en, and was supporting her claim with four thou
‘sand troops, under Gen. Herrera.
LATte AND IMporTANT.—By an exclusive ex
press via Havana the New York Sun learns that
Santa Anna’s demand for eight millions of dollars
was refused by the Mexican Congress. - That body,
however, was left in secret session. It was gener
ally supposed to have under discussion the confisca
tion of the church property. The clergy, in a body,
violently opposed the measure, and threatened in
turn the excommunication of the congress, the gov
ernment and the army. :
VirciNta U. S. Sexator.—James M. Mason
was on Thursday last elected Senator from Virginia
in plaee of Mr Pennybacker, deceased, by the fol
lowing vote :—Mason 97, McDowell 19, Samuels 19,
Summers 11, and Jones 11.
Mr Mason is a democrat in politics, but voted a
gainst the Sub-Treasury at its first introduction.
Tor the cffice to which e is now called, he received
the votes of 55 Whigs and 42 Democrats, and a ma
jority of thirty votes over all others—perhaps the
largest majority given for any individual as U. S.
Senator frem Virginia.
Mr. James Brewster, aged 32 years, a worthy citizen
of York, Me., was killed on the 19th, in the ship-yard
of Capt. George Mou!ton, by the falling of a section of
a vessel's frame, called a rib, upon him, whilst moving
it on the ice.

ago, at the cost of $360, which he is permitted to offer
now at the low price of slso—the owner desiring to
purchase a new and higher priced instrument.
T. P. M. fecling ever a strong attachment to the
home of his nativity,
With not a wish his feet again shall stray
To other clime, in search of sunnier day,
would improve this moment to say, that he is never un
mindful of the many favors bestowed on him, and the
very liberal patronage he has received in Portsmouth,
his native place.
His terms of instruction in Musie are, for Organ or
Piano, $8 per quarter of 24 lessons—for private lessons
on the Flute, $8 per quarter—for single admission
