BWPBy the arrival of the steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle, arrivedat this port yesterday, in 36 hours from Galveston, we are in receipt oflate papers.We have no further election news, (says the Civilian of the 18 th, )except from passing reports from Jackson, Victoria and Robertson counties. These leave scarcely a doubt of Col. Williams’ election.The Galveston News publishes a letter from General Hamilton inrelation to his connection with the Texan Government, diplomatic and financial. It appears a Joint Committee of both Houses was raised, to whom was referredthe memorial and claim of General James Hamilton, against the Republic ofTexas; they refused to act upon the claim, (says the Austin Democrat, ) referringthe claimant to the Auditorial Court, which the Legislature contemplatesestablishing; but reported to their respective Houses a resolution of thanksto General Hamilton. The resolution passed the Senate, but was rejectedby the House, upon the grounds, as urged by gentlemen who spoke on the occasion, that it is connected with the General’s claim—was an expression of opinionfavorable hereto, or at least recommendatory, and might be construed intoa partial approbation of the claim, which the House felt unwilling to give.The News says that they have good authority for stating thatthe 90 emigranis, wrecked on the Pauline, (near St.

Joseph Island) were actuallyrobbed of a large part of the property saved from the wreck.The Legislature has passed a law for the establishment of free schoolsin the city of Galveston. It authorizes the corporation of that city to levyand collect a tax on real estate for their support.A “Bachelors’ Ball” is announced to come off at Galveston this evening, (the 21 st) in commemoration of the battle of San Jacinto.BWPPetitions were presented by Messrs.

Archer, Ashley, Breese, Speight andothers.Mr. Miller presented the resolutions of the Legislature of New Jersey, against a repeal of the Tariff of 1842; also, in favor of the erection ofa light-house at Turker’s Beach, or Absecom, New Jersey.A number of private bills were reported.Mr. Jarnagin gave notice, that on to-morrow, or on some convenient day, he would introduce a joint resolution to authorize a home board for the purposeof adjudicating the claims of our citizens against the Government of Mexico.The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Sevier, requesting the Secretaryof the Treasury to transmit to the Senate a supplement to the synopsis ofinstructions from the Treasury with regard to the revenue laws from 1789 tothe present, coming up in order, gave rise to a slight debate, in whichMessr.

Archer, Benton, Sevier, Allen, Davis and others took part; after whichthe further consideration of the resolution was postponed until Thursday.The bill for the relief of Nathaniel Goddard and others coming up onits third reading, Mr. Turney addressed the Senate at length in oppositionto the bill.BWPThe journal was read, from which it appears that the Speaker had appointedthe following committees:On Mr. Schenck’s resolution—Messrs. Schenck of Ohio, Dobbinof N.

C., McIlvane of Pa., Thurman of Ohio, and John A. Rockwell of Conn.On Mr.

Pettit’s amendment—Messrs. Pettit of Ia., Vinton of Ohio, Jefferson Davis of Miss., D.

King of Mass., and Wilmot of Pa.Mr. Thurman said he should be under the necessity of leavng the cityto-morrow or next day, at farthest, and he therefore asked to be excused fromserving upon the committee on which he had been appointed. The requestwas granted.Mr. Giles offered a resolution, which was adopted, granting the use ofthe Hall, after the adjournment to-day, for an exhibition of the pupils fromthe Institutions for the Blind, of Boston, Philadelphia and Virginia.The Speaker announced the Smithsonian Bill to be the first subject inorder.Mr. Ingersoll hoped the House would first take up and act upona very important bill, in relation to certain Treasury notes which were purloinedfrom the Custom House at New Orleans, and had fallen into the hands of innocentholders, who were suffering from the neglect of Congress to provide for theirrelief.The Speaker said the Smithsonian bill being the special order, it wouldrequire the unanimous consent of the House to take up any other.Mr.

Dj Muggs Soul Assassins Intermission

Owen moved to go into Committee of the Whole, which motion prevailed, and (Mr. In the Chair, ) the consideration of the Smithsonianbill was resumed.Mr. C., spoke briefly against the constitutionality of acceptingthe trust devised by Mr. Smithson, and hoped that the fund would be returnedunimpaired, and in the meantime be considered as in the Treasury of the UnitedStates—and the States of Arkansas, Illinois and Michigan deemed indebted tothe Treasury to the amount of their bonds in which this fund was invested.Mr.

Adams advocated the substitute which he had offered for thebill. He wished to catch the bear before we sold the skin. He deniedthat the fund was in the Treasury, and it would be necessary to collect thebonds before we could establish this institution.Mr. Sims said, that in a report made by the honorable member from Massachusettsa few years since, he had taken the ground that the bequest should be deemedto be in the Treasury, and that the States whose bonds were held, were tobe taken as debtors to the Treasury, and not to the fund.Mr. Adams said, that since that report was made, he had had some experiencewhich had taught him that the money was not in the Treasury.Mr. Adams was here interrupted by a message from the President of theUnited States, stating that he had yesterday approved and signed “a jointresolution concerning the Oregon Territory.”.Mr.

A very auspicious interruption, Mr. Chairman—a veryauspicious interruption.Mr. Then went on to argue, that the money was not in the Treasury, and that it must first be got there before it could be expended.Mr. Thurman said he had heard it stated that this fund had been investedin the bonds of Arkansas, &c., without any authority in law, and he respectfullyrequested the gentleman from Mass to enlighten him on the point.Mr. Adams replied that the fund was not invested without authority, and that before its arrival in this country proposals were invited from capitalistsand others by public advertisement to take the money upon interest.

The offerof the Arkansas bonds was accepted for the greater portion of the amount, but as to the particular reason which led to the selection, he must referthe gentleman to a certain Senator from Arkansas, who knew more about it thanany one else.Mr. Adams was opposed to most of the provisions of the present bill, and particularly to the Normal School. He was in favor of collecting an extensivelibrary.Mr. Rathbun thought the delay that had taken place in executing the trustwas a disgrace to the country, and he maintained that we were under the obligation, both in law and morality, to make good the fund if we had either wasted itor misappropriated it.The debate was continue by Messr.

Jones of Tenn., Ficklin of Ill., andothers.The debate was continue until half past three o’clock, when the Committeerose, and the House, after adopting Mr. Hopkins’s resolution, to terminatethe debate in one hour after going into Committee, adjourned.BWPAs we expected, the emphatic and confident announcement by the Journalof Commerce, of the “Settlement of the Oregon Question, ” wants confirmation. However flattering the prospect of a pacific adjustment, no definite stepshave yet been taken to close the question. It is not likely that anyproposition will be made, until; Great Britain hears of the final action ofCongress on the Oregon Question. The notice has probably gone out by thesteamer of Friday, and it may be a month and a half, or two months, beforewe receive a response from Great Britain.

The Union says:“The New York editor may spare his rebukes upon “our government journals, ”for we can hear nothing of this settlement in England, or of these despatchesby the Caledonia. In fact, we have no reason to believe either of them. them. It is further our impression, that Great Britain will make no offer untilshe hears of the disposition of the question of notice by Congress. The procrastination which has marked our counsels has probably had its effectupon the British policy.—If Congress had passed the naked notice in Decemberlast, we might by this time have witnessed a much more decided and cheeringstate of our relations with England. There is no knowing how far sheexpected the resolution of notice to be defeated, or how much she calculatedon our divisions. As at present advised, we hear of nothing to justifythe statements in the ‘Liverpool Mercury, ’ or in the ‘New York Journal ofCommerce.’”BWPThe Whigs boast of their triumph over the Administration on the OregonNotice. They confidently assert, that but for their amendment of the form of the notice, the country would have been plunged into war.

But which is the greater triumph? The form or the substance? TheWhigs originally denounced the notice as the cause of ruin and war. Have they not retreated from that position, by unanimously endorsing andrecommending the notice as the most efficient means of peace?

They mayhave the form. We never attached very great consequence to that, as we feltsatisfied that Mr. Polk was, as he avowed himself to be, in favor of an honorablepeace.

And even now the Whigs admit that the President holds in hishands the issue of peace or war, and they have given him full “discretion”in the matter. We believe that we shall have a pacific adjustment, but the same result would have occurred had the notice been given in theform as it came from the House of Representatives. The President isnow, as he has ever been, for an honorable peace. He can now, as wellas if the naked notice had been authorized, break up the pacific relationswith Great Britain. Where, then, is the great triumph of the Whigs?The Baltimore American, Whig, says.“In any form in which the ‘notice’ could be passed, unless it were accompaniedby a definite naming of the boundary in Oregon, the President would retainin his hands the power of defeating any compromise arrangement, if he shouldbe so determined.

The preliminaries of negotiation are under his control;he could reject every proposition offered by England; he could withhold allproffers, on his own part, except such as she would reject. True, the sentimentof both Houses, expressed in the language of the resolution of notice, mayimpose, and doubtless will impose upon him, a strong obligation to seek anamicable adjustment of the grave question in dispute.

Still he has, in point of fact, a great, and, we may say, a decisive power of control overthe issue.”BWPThere was an arrival at New Orleans on the 24 th ult. FromVera Cruz, bringing a few days later accounts than were before received. Nothing had occurred to change the aspect of affairs in the country.

We copyfrom the Picayune the following items:“We perceive that the Government is determined to be ready to meet SantaAnna, should the ex-President determine to return, as we have no doubt hewill do. It may be known that criminal proceedings were instituted againstSanta Anna for his transactions just prior to the revolution which hurledhim from power. The proceedings in the case have been published byorder of the Supreme Court, and they make a pamphlet of 130 pages. Ageneral circulation of these may, it is thought, have some influence on theminds of people, and prepare them for any measure of severity which the Governmentmay take against Santa Anna.“The Puritano of the 2d April publishes two letters from SantaAnna to Senor Tornel, the first written in May last, when Santa Anna wasabout to retire from the country. The other is dated in Havana, onthe 9 th March, congratulating Tornel on his appointment as Secretaryof War, and exhibiting much satisfaction with Paredes administration for itsliberality in appointing many of his (Santa Anna’s) friends to office.La Reforma of the 28 th March says that orders havebeen given to the administrator of the mails from Jalapa and Vera Cruz, thatany extraordinary courier from the latter port to the capital should be strictlydetained at Puebla; and the drivers even are enjoined to preserve silenceas to what may transpire at Vera Cruz.

Long live the Mexican Republic! Long live the Departmentsof the East and its intrepid defenders!!!!(signed, ) PEDRO DE AMPUDIA.Saltillo, March 27 th, 1846.BWPBy the politeness of a commercial house of this city, we have been furnishedwith the following extract from a letter received by the Brig Orleans, Capt.Pattherson, which sailed on the 23d inst., datedVERA CRUZ, April 22, 1846. The news here is nothing. Weare anxiously waiting for intelligence from Matamoras. The last we receivedwas, that Gen.

Taylor had been fired on by the Mexicans, but had not returnedthe fire. This pretended pacific movement of our Government—this eternal dilly-dallyingbetween peace and war, will deprive us of all the advantages which we mightobtain by the adoption of an efficient course. Test assured that Englandis the prime mover in Mexico, and that tot settle the Oregon question favorableshe will keep this hornet’s nest hovering over our heads.Commodore Conner, with the United States squadron, except the JohnAdams, left this place on Sunday last, for what point unknown, but heis expected soon to return. Yours, &c.BWPLate and Important from Texas—The War Began—Bloodshedon the Frontier, &c.By the arrival this morning of the steamship New York, Capt.Phillips, from Galveston, we are in receipt of late and important news fromthe Army of Occupation.BWPThe schr. Hitchcock arrived from the Brassos Santiago onWednesday night, bringing later intelligence from the army and Mexican frontier. Various reports, more or less exaggerated, or altogether fabulous, have grownout of this arrival, but from cautious inquiry we find the following to bethe substance of all the information received:Our army is still encamped on the Rio Grande, some three miles belowMatamoras.

Arista sent a message to Gen. Taylor eight days since, that unless the American army retired immediately to the East bank of theNueces, it would be attacked by that of Mexico without delay or further notice.Gen.

Taylor returned for reply, that his present position had been taken underorders from his Government, and that he was prepared to maintain it againstall comers. Also, immediately despatched orders to our navalvessels on the coast to open a strict blockade, and 0prevent any communicationfrom the Gulf with the Mexicans on shore, which was accordingly done andhas since been in full force, the brig Lawrence and schr.

Flirt cruisingcontinually off the mouth of the Rio Grande and Brassos Santiago.We regret to learn that Col. Paymaster General, some tendays since, took his usual ride into the country, and has not since returnedor been heard of. The general belief is that he has been murdered, butwhether by Mexicans, Indians or renegade white men, is a matter of doubt.A lieutenant from our army a short time since, crossed the river, fromwhat motive seems to be uncertain, and was taken by the Mexican forces, wherehe remained at the last accounts.

It is reported, but we can find no directauthority for the statement, that his liberation has been demanded by Gen.Taylor, and refused.We understand that Gen. (Signed, ) PEDRO DE AMPUDIA.BWPWe have seen with the greatest satisfaction the manifesto given to thenation by His Excellency the President ad interim, in regard to thecorrespondence relative to the subject of Texas, held between the SupremeGovernment and the Envoy Extraordinary of the United States. (Signed, )ABERDEEN.BWPThe Oregon question continues to be a fruitful source of discussion withthe British journals.—The speech of Mr. Webster, and the propriety of settlingthe dispute upon the basis of 49 degs., were much commented on. TheLondon Times, by some called the organ of Lord Aberdeen, tho’ it is more probablythe mouth-piece of the Hudson’s Bay Company, is as bitter as ever in deridingand opposing the American title North of Columbia river, and states thatlatitude 49 was as far as the original claim of the U.

States extended, andthat line had never been conceded by the British statesmen. If concedednow, the Times claims the freedom of the Columbia, the whole of Vancouver’sIsland, and the Straits of Fuca, with full indemnity to the Hudson’s BayCompany for resigning their posts.The London Examiner say England loves peace, but is ready for war.BWPThe Times says the accounts from the United States by the Hibernia, to the beginning of April, have excited a good deal of attention. Themessage of Mr. Polk to Congress is not considered warlike. ORDERSHead Quarters,Galveston Volunteer Batallion,30 th April, 1846.The commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the companies composingthe Galveston Volunteer Battallion are requested to meet for consultationat 10 o’clock this morning, at the Galveston Artillery Armory, at Mr. The country needs our services!

No time should be lostin immediately organizing the several corps of this battalion. The commandantof the battalion has the fullest confidence in the patriotism and zeal ofthe citizen soldiers of Galveston! He is sure they will not hesitatein this emergency! They have always desired an opportunity of showingtheir prowess to their Mexican enemies!That opportunity has now arrived!

It is expected the young men of Galvestonwill immediately rally as volunteers, nor wait for their services to berequired by draft.A rendezvous will be immediately opened for volunteers, to increase theranks of each of the volunteer corps of the city, and also to organise andadditional company of Infantry or Riflemen. A prompt attendance of the officersis expected at the time and place appointed. By order of C. BRYANT, Major Commanding Galveston Volunteer Battalion.If 150 or 200 men, with the proper officers, can be raised by to-morrowmorning, at 8 o’clock, they will be supplied with arms and accoutrements, and will take passage on board the steamer Monmouth, now bound for Point Isabel. KINGSBURY, Lieut. Army.BWPThe news in our second edition this morning, is regarded as of much importance.Letters from authentic American sources in Matamoras state that the Mexicanforces are at least 8,000 men, well equipped, with an excellent part ofartillery.The Governor of this State has issued his requisition for twenty-fivehundred volunteers, and the soldiers are already in the Street, and makingthe most active preparations for departure.

They will leave in the courseof twenty-four hours.The Legislature of this State with a patriotic promptitude, worthy ofall praise, have already passed a bill appropriating 100,000 dollars for theservice. The measure passed by acclamation.BWPThe Legislature has just passed, by acclamamation, a bill appropriatingONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to equip and forward Volunteers from this placeto Point Isabel, or at whatever point they may be required.The city is in great excitement. Guns are being fired from the PublicSquare, and drums and flags are paraded through the street.

Louisianawill do her duty in this crisis!BWPIn addition to the foregoing, which was published on Saturday last ina second edition of the Enquirer, the New Orleans Picayunehas received an extra from the office of the “News, ” at Galveston, wherethe intelligence was received by the steamboat Monmouth, with Capt. Catletton board, a bearer of despatches from Gen.Taylor to Gov. Henderson, of Texas, calling upon him for aid.

We give the letter to the Galveston Committeein full, as it best shows the urgency of the call for reinforcements:LETTER OF CAPT. CATLETT TO THE PEOPLE OF GALVESTON.ON BOARD STEAMER MONMOUTH,Off St. Joseph’s, April 28 th, 1846.Gentlemen: I am the bearer of a communication from Gen.

Taylorto Gov. Henderson, requesting to be immediately reinforced by twentycompanies of foot Riflemen. My destination is Victoria, and thenceto Austin. I was instructed by the General to send an express from the formerplace by land to your city, with communications to Lieut.

Kingsbury, and atthe same time to spread the information through the country.—But it havingbeen left discretionary with me, and the Monmouth being available, I havedetermined to s end the communications by her, and also to write to you, inorder to facilitate as much as possible the sending on of troops. Gen.Taylor is in a very precarious situation at his camp near Matamoras, andan attack is feared on the post at Point Isabel. I believe that a reinforcementof two hundred men would save that place. This is vastly important, as a large amount of commissariat and ordnance stores are deposited there, and, if that place should fall, Gen. Taylor will be left without resourcesof any kind.I was instructed by Gen. Taylor to send out from Victoria expresses insuch directions as I might deem most advisable, so as to have all the menpossible on their march to his relief without awaiting the orders of theGovernor. You will have it in your power to send to the Lower Brazos, Houston and Montgomery, sooner than an express can go from Victoria.

I thereforeleave that to you, knowing that it will be promptly attended to. Ishall send to Matagorda, Texana, Richmond and San Felipe. If you have anopportunity, please send to Washington. Washington. I shall sendthere from La Grange.The place of rendezvous for the foot companies is suggested by the Generalat Galveston; that of the mounted men at Corpus Christi; at which place therewill be provisions and forage. No party less than 400 should think of goingthrough on the direct road to Matamoras, as there is a large force of Mexicanson the Aroyo Colorado, for the purpose of cutting off reinforcements inthat direction. Small parties can cross from Corpus Christi on toPadre’s Island. Arrangements are made for crossing from the lower pointof the Island to Point Isabel.If two hundred men could be raised even temporarily at Galveston, I amdecidedly of opinion that it would be better to send them forth with by theMonmouth; the security of Point Isabel is of the last importance.From the best information we could obtain, the force of the Mexicansis set down at seven thousand certain, and reports go as high as twelve thousand.All communication is now cut off between the camp and Point Isabel, exceptby running the gauntlet.

I came out in the night of the 27 th witha guide, and was prowling all night through chaparral, swamps and lakes.Capt. Baker will be able to give you all the particulars of what hashappened, the situation of Point Isabel, &c., &c.The old General is as cool as a cucumber, and has so strengthened hisposition, that I am of opinion nothing can move him but starvation. In haste, your obedient servant, W. Williams and others.BWPMessr. Editors: By the arrival of the steamer Monmouth, this day, intelligence has been received at this place of the army of occupationbeing surrounded by 10,000 Mexican troops.

The Mexican army passed theRio Grande in the night. Thornton, 2d Dragoons, in attemptingto cut his way out with his company, was killed. Also, two subalternsand 13 privates—the remainder taken prisoners.

Taylor on this day, 28 th, engages with the enemy. His whole force of fighting men will notnumber 3,000—his motto is, “conquer or die!” The U.
