AWVAMMtlA: TIIUKSDAV MOIIMXG. JULY JO. 18<f.. TfJK MEXICAN WAR. Wc -poke yesterday of the enormous expen ditures w hich hare already taken place in the . prosecution of the war against Mexico—and, ,veare now-sorry to add, that contrary to our impressions, the war, at present, looks as if !, ,va< to continue for some time— involving, of course, iu futuro, an amount of outlay on the „.,rt of our government which wc do not at tempt to calculate. We had hoped, that our acknowledged superiority in every respect, would have induced the existing Mexican gov ernment, of itself, to have ottered terms; and htiinf in this, that the dissensions of the people would have ended in bringing into power some oilier faction, disposed to a speedy settlement ot the dispute. But, it would appear from the la-t accounts wc have received, that neither the de feats on the Rio Grande, tho gathering hosts on their borders, the determination expressed by this country to “conquer a peace,” nor the tt volt in their own provinces, have turned < ie minds of the Mexicans H> even an ofTer of com promise. much less submission. Their voice is slid for War. Right, or wrong, then, war they must have, and one troops will go on to invade, audio po-se.s, and, as we believe, to hutmpU! Admitting however, that all our plans are sue <u.>li.il. il Hie Mexicans hold out with their ptc i:t determination, and will contc-t the point, 1,eaten though they may be, we repeat, that the i.tobable cost of the war will be immense, and |ir beyond what was ever supposed it would _.;i t„, when it was determined to commence r*s iirosccution. p|IK NEW BRITISH MINISTRY \>\t totlio politics of our own country those of <,,r .t Britain attiact our attention anil enlist mr feelings. The Ministry of Lord John Rus ted come* into power, with tr>e pro tossed »}rorrt of being thought and held to be Libeml, nud a* pledged to the cause of social retonn. conic** our distrust, as to the is*ue, but shl! we hope, that where there is so much to be improved and amended, as there confessedly i*, among the poorer classes in Great Britain, some good may grow .out ot the efforts now .jUout to lie made to advance their condition. There is always danger in an old country like that of Great Britain, lest the knife in the |,;,u,|s of the n former*, may vitally wound the tree, instead of pruning its useless branches, but this »<ed not necessarily ensue, lhe states man of that country have the experience ot een t,iries to guide them, and to them may he left the honorable fame, utM by wise and prudent measure*, showing that the acquisition of power m:i> he sueccslully directed to the solid and last ii g iiu pi ovement ol'the mass ol their country men, without deliiment to the pei manent prosperity and solid glory of their country. All the na tmns of the world arc interested in the happi ness, and freedom of Great Britain. MR HAYWOOD-—THK ORGAN. It now appears — notwithstanding the denuticia ti >ns of the Government Organ—that the new land hill, has not been defeated at all by the lesignation of Mr. Haywood! Had he remained in the Senate, and voted according to hi* judgment, the bill might have been de feated ! He chose not to sacrifice his reason, and by leaving his seat, actually secured for his party, the measure which they profess to have so much at heatt ! The testimony of Mr. Benton, and other members of the Senate, of both polit ical parties, proves conclusively, the honor ond integrity of the late Senator from North Caroli na, and gives him a higher standing than he ever bebuc assumed before the people of this country. The movements ol the government organ in thisca^e of Mr. Haywood, and in several other in stances which wo might specity, hut which will prohablv recur at once t»> our leaders, appeal to he singularly unfortunate. What effect they have hid, and will have, remains to be -een. It is certain! v moM unusual to see the organ of the Administration one day denouncing and excom municating a leading member ot the party, and the next day to find the prominent men of the partv, in the Senate of the 1 nited State*, icbuk ing the organ, and deteeding and sustaining the public course and conduct ot the anathematized Individual! Such a state of thing* cannot long e\i*t, with any safety or credit to the party. MK iSI'.N v I'Oll lil'M'ON. It anv unprejudiced man will p<'int out the consistent:) or wisdom of Mr. Senator Benton’s course with regard to the l and, we would take it as a lavor. He avows himself to he utterly opposed to the yrindpie ot the new bill, and ad mits that it is eminently defective, and yet he votes t\»r it, in order to overthrow another bill, not otherwise, according to his own showing, anv more objectionable! '1 he tmth is, Mr. Kenton, appears to he in reality, entirely opposed to Mr. Polk and his Administration, and,yet, for some purpos s of his own, does not yet break w tilt tk' party, hut holds on, with one hand, whilst hr bullets the leaders with the other. His posi tion is not such an one, which ran long continue to add any thing to his political influence, or to his character as a statesman. Trie Court of Enquiry in the case of Gen’I. % <; iinrs, has not been fuilv organized, owing to t;<r detention ol Gen. Brooke by sickness at St. Louis, Missouri. This fact has been reported to the Adjutant Genual at Washington, and the Court meets daily and adjourns. If Gem Brooke should be unable to attend, there must be a new precept. The art of Congress providing tor the lietro cession of Alexandria to Virginia, approved by tn.> President, ha* been officially published. We h^p* in a short tune to have the pleasure ot an nouncing that the art has been officially accep ted by the people for whose benefit it was passed. Hie “Franco-Amerieam” is commenting upon t’ e Truongs denial that England has submitted an offer of mediation loour government at Wash ington, and expresses its belie! that the effer has been made to Mexico. * This version—it adds— would reconcile all accounts, and explain the future of the Murphy ru*ssion, which ha» elicit fd so many comments. The Lewisburg Observer of the 23d instant, states that there were then about 140 visitors at the White Sulphur Springs. It is now understood that the Council of Tost Captains assembled at Washington, is to consult c*i a re-oiganuation of the Aav v. STICKING TO THE QUESTION. During the debate in the Hou9e of Representa tives, on Tuesday, whilst the House was in T°m niittee of the Whole, on the Post Office Hill, sev eral speeehes were delivered expressly on the case of Senator Haywood ofN. C., and one on wool and the duty on that article The North Carolina members, four or five of them, at leaM, discussed Mr. Haywood, to their heuil s cont< nt, and to the edification of the House. Mr. Bi.,gs was especially condemnatory in his criticisms on the late Senator’s course. _ Intelligence from Halifax states that the steam er Britannia, on her outw ard passage from that place, ran on the Jeddore Head on the 18th mst., hut w as got off with slight damage, and returned to Halifax on the 19th, where she underwent repairs, and left again on the <0th. Killeen of the passengers left the steamer and remained at Halifax. The New Tariff Bill passed the Senate, wiih one amendment. This will send the bill back to the House, where we presume, the amendment will be immediately concurred in, and the mea sure become a law forthwith. Edward Story, late master of the brig Gan ges, from New Orleans, suspected of poisoning his crew, has been arrested. The Williaaispoit, Md. Times states that the water has been let into the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal between Pams No. 1 and fi. An arrival at Baltimore from Jamaica brings dates to the Kith.

Mr. Di\ presented a petition, numerously signed, tor the repeal of the Pilot laws of 1837. Mr. Mangi.m called up the joint resolution authorizing the ereetion upon the public grounds in this citv of a monument to M ashington. Mr. Benton objected to the resolution and moved to lay it upon the tabic, which was agretd to. After the reception of reports from the Stand ing Committees, On motion of Mr. Nii.fs the joint resolution from the Mouse regulating the mode in which the public printing Mial! be contracted lor, was made the special order for to*morrow at 1*J o'clock. Mr. Lewis, from the committee on Finance’ reported the Naval Appropriation bill with sun dry amendment*. Mr. Husk was appointed to fill the vacancy in the Committee on the District of Columbia occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Haywood* On motion of Mr. Rusk, the bill to incorpor ate the Navy of Texas with that of the United States, was tak^n up and after a long discu^ion was postponed until to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Lewis, the Sub-Treasury bill was taken up, and a large number of amend ments made thereto by the Committee on Fin ance were agreed to. An amendment offered bv the Committee to p* rmit Treasury drafts to be issued in such sums and in sueh form that they can be used for circu lation, was stronglv condemned and opposed by Mr. Benton, who said it was a departure from the hard money system proposed, and that if a dopted he could not vote for the bill Mr. Ali.en aNo opposed the amendment as a kind of connection between the government ami banking—and the worst kind of banking—a pa ; per circulation without a specie basis. j HOUSH OF RKFRKSKNTATIVKS. j The Speaker announced the Warehousing bill j as the special order of the day. A message was received from the Senate rc 1 turning the bill to reduce the Tariff, with an amendment, in which the concurrence of the House was asked. i Mr. Boyd moved to proceed lo the cousi 1 ora tion of the hill and amendment. Mr. Broiuieap demanded the yeas and nov*. Mr. McKay moved a call of the House which was agreed to. I’be roll having boon called, 199 members ans wered to their names. The absentees were then called and it appeal ed that 211 were present. All further proceedings in the call were then dispensed with. The question then recurred upon the motion of Mr. Boyd and it was agreed to. Yeas 108, Nays 100. The Speaker then announced the message from the Senate. Mr. YVixTHRor inqu ired whether it did not re quite a vote of the llouse to take up the message. The Speaker replied that it did not, as he had distinctly put the question on the motion “to postpone the special order and take up the. mes sage of the Senate.“ Mr. WiNTiiRor did not hear the question so put, but he contended that by the rules it requir ed a vote of two-thirds to take up a message fiom the Senate until the morning hour had ex pired, and two-thirds had not voted for it. ! The Speaker said that if a division of the mo tion had been demanded before the question was taken, then it would have required a vote of two thirds to carry the second branch of it— but as no division bad been called the majority vote was sufficient. Mr. Winthrop appealed from ibe decision of the Chair. The appeal was laid upon the table. Yeas 102, nays 98. Mr. Rathben then moved to postpone the fur ther consideration of trie bill until Monday next. The Speaker said the motion would not be in order until the message should have been read. The message was then read. Mr. McKay obtained the floor and moved that the House concur in the amendment of the j Senate, on which motion the previous question i wa* demanded. j Mr. Stewart moved to lay the whole subject | on the table. Lost. Yeas 96 Nays 113 Tne previous question was then seconded.— Yeas 102, Nays 10 L 7’he next question was “shall the main ques tion be now put?v and it was decided in the af firmative.

Yreas 99, Nays 111 7'he mam question was then put and the amendment of the Senate was concur! ed in.— l IV Vavs 93. I The House refused to reconsider the vote. So the bill has passed both Mouses and only wants the signature of the President to become a law. The Mouse tfieri went into Committee of the Whole on the new Postage bill, and altera short time spent in voting upon sundry amend ments the Committee rose and The House adjurned. LATER FROM VEKA CRUZ. ; Ry the steamer Princeton, at Pensacola, let ters from Commodore Conner, and other reliable sources, have been received at ttie Navy Depart ment, of ns late a date as July II.

The sloop John Adams left here three or lour days since, for 'Tampico, to relieve the St. Mary’s, which latter vessel it is presum ed will return to Pensacola for supplies. It seems they have had a slight sprinkling of war down heie, as well ns at I ampico and on the Rio Grande.
