i$ot Casar's weal bat that of Rome." THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1846r ft-W ANTED Two steady boys as apprentices to learn a good trade. Inquire at this Office. SCHOOLS . The Public School of the first District, will commence November 23d in the basement ol the M. E. Cbruch. MEXICO. There seems to be very li i tie prospect of a speedy termination of the war with Mexico, if we may judge from the numerous proclamations put forth by the various functionaries of that distracted country. In a manifesto of Gen, Almonte, dated at the city of Mexico on the the 3Qth of September after notifying the public that Monterey had succumbed, be proceeds to encourage the people, and advises them to follow the example given by their forefathers, the Spaniards, during their war with N.apojeon." The entire style of the President, and interim, is quite far from giving any hopes of entering into amicable negotiations with the United States. Orf the contrary, be says that should it be the design of the enemy to overrun the whole Republic, Mexicans, before ceasing to oppose their progress, would prefer to be demolished in the ruins of their country not one stone of which they would suffer to remain on another, to give shelter to the ene my; and he goes on to state, that "the invin cible General who has been called to place himself at the head. of the army is decided not to outlive the dishonor of the nation.''1 Gen. Ampudia, in his official ' account of the battles of Monterey, says that he was compelled to capitulate on accouDt of being too short of provisions and amunition. An officer, writing to El Indicador, says that the amunition and provisions they had on the 23d, would have scarcely lasted twenty-four hours longer. That they were 4000 in num ber on leaving Monterey, and only left in it and delivered over to the enemy 200 rounds of catridges and six useless pieces of artil lery. This writer says that the Americans acknowledged a loss of 1500 men, but they considered it to be very near 2500 men. Midshipman Barret has arrived at New' Orleans from the fleet in the Gulf, and reports the capture, by the Steamship Missiscippi, Commodore Perry f the Mexican schooner Telegraph off Tabasco. He says when that squadron of the fleet under Com. Perry had been last heard from they were immediately off Tabasco, and were but waiting for a violent swell to subside before passing over the ' bar to attack the place every man being eager for the aifray. The squadroa consisted of tbe Mississippi, (flag-ship) Com. Perry; the Vixen, Com. Sands; Rev. cutter McLean, Capt. Howard; Rev. cutter Forward, Capt. Nones; prize scoooer Nooceta, Lieut. Hazard; schooner Reefer, Lieut. Sterrett; and Bchooner Bonita. Besides these there were twelve cutters, designed for taking tbe forces ashore, which, besides the crews of the respective vessels, number two hundred men, principally - marines from the Raritan and Cumberland. The fleet had not heard a word about tlie reported ami Santa Anna Revolution in Campeachy. It was, no doubt as we.pronounccd it, a hoax got -up lor interested purposes, BAILUOAD TO OREGOX. Mr. Whitney, the projector of this gigantic scheme, is now travelling through the wes tern cities, getting an expression of public opinion in ;be matter, which 'will be laid be fore Congress at its next session, by means ol petitions. The board of Trade in Pittsburg have passed resolutions in favor of the .passage ot the bill by Congress. Ale. WJiitney has also visited Cincinnati and Louisville on the same business, in both ol which places large meetings were held Jo heat .his plans for the accomplishment of this great iproject. Old Rovgh and Beady, The following paragraph is from the Monterey correspondence of the Kew York Commercial Advertiser: : Gen. Taylor, in conversation with me, said he had no hesitation in pronouncing it the strongest position on the continent except Quebec. By the bye. a word about the ca.uiivtlaliou. The bearer of the flag of truce pjrqposed a surrender of the town, allowing them to remove all the public property: uen Taylor asked an Kocenditiocal surrender of everything; quite a difference,. 'They had from eight to twelve o'clock to answer. Ai twelve they sent for Gen. Taylor. After exhausting his patience with diplomacy, -anil Ampudia bad declared he was no way sirait ened to submission. Gen. Taylor said: ' Sir I hold your town, yourself and your army in the hollow of my hand and you know u the conference is closed. Jn thirty minutes you shall hear Jrom my oaaerics." lie took his hat to -leave the room; Ampudia rrA him hark and SUUITlllted. 1 hlS WBS told me in person by Gen. Taylor and is strict ly true, of xourse. ttr Letters from Washington state that Mr. Buchanan will proDaoiy retire irom wie cabinet in t lie hope to escape being involv .! in the general wreck of the Administra-

0ir"We learn from the New York Journal

of Commerce that "the subscriptions of the bondholders to the new contract with the Slate of Indiana, are going forward with a degree of spirit which gives promise that the arrangement so desirable for all parties will be completed," - This is welcome intelligence. We hope now there will be no obstacle in way of the speedy completion of this great work. It will be necessary, perhaps, to make some trifling alterations of the law of last winter, but we anticipate no difficulty on that score. The Legislature must see and know the ad vantages the State will derive from the work when finished, and the liberality and prompt ness of the bondholders in accepting the con tract, will without doubt induce the Legisature to meet our creditors in a spirit of fairness, and make such amondments as will secure the end aimed at. Early legislation upon this subject and its final arrangement will greatly relieve the public mind. We are glad to hear of the increas. ing popularity of our townsman, VVillard Car penter, Esqr.,for the officeof State Trustee for our Canal. We learn from a reliable source, and in several instances from mem bers themselves, that every member from this congressional district of both parlies, will give him their support for that office, believ ing him every way capable, and anxious that that officer should be taken from this end of the State. . In the counties along the line of the Canal we know he has many friends, and in other parts of the State also; whether they will be found sufficiently numerous to elect him we cannot say, yet we sincerely hope so he has deserved it and the State will be all the gainer by electing him. OJames Fields, who was arrested and confined in the Crawford County jail in this State for the murder of his mother in June last, was tried last week at the Crawford Circuit Court, and was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung on the 18th ol December next. We learn that it was a most fiendish and unnatural murde Fields had repeatedly declared, previous to committing the act, that he would no longer support his mother, and that he knew no otherway to rid himself of the burthen but to kill her. On the day he committed the act he went into tbe house and ordered his moth er to prepare his dinner, telling her at the same time that after she had done so he in tended to murder her. While she was in the act of stooping down to light the fire, he pulled out a pistol and shot her, the ball hit ting her hip bone and ranging downwards. shattering the bones of leg most awfully. He fled to a neighbor's house and procured some whiskey and after getting beastly drunk eturned home and went to sleep in an adjoin ing room to the one i n which his mother was, The old woman was found by some of the neighbors twenty-lour hours afierwards, bloo dy and nearly speechless. She died shortly afierwards. This is probably the first trial for murde in the State since the passage of the law lea ving it discretionary with the jury to say whether the prisoner (if found guilty) should be hung or confined in the Slate prison at hard labor for life. Tea Partv. The Ladies of Mr. Dodge's Church propose giving a Tea Party at the Exchange Hotel on Wednesday evening next, for the benefit of the Church. It wiil be found a pleasant way of spending an evening and we hope will be well attended. - fc-Commodore Connor made a second attack on Alvarado on .the 13th uh., which ike the first attempt ta take the place proved a failure. We .fear our N ivy is not likely to reap much fame from the operations in the Gulf. Cheap Postage. The cheap 1 postage system will certainly succeed. It is said now that the amount of deficiency which the Post-master General will require from tbe Treasury will be but $500,000. Next year the departmpnt will pay its own expenses, and in two years will yield a revenue of three millions annuaily. ; 07- The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says, that, during the whole day after the arrival ot the news from New York, the doors of the White House were kept closed. No person v whatever could get access to Mr. Polk's presence. Like David of old, he mourned in the solitude of his chamber. fjjr Commodore John Nicholson, of the navy, died at Washington on Sunday night last under an attack of apoplexy. Com N distincuised himself in several actions - - - t for his extraordinary coolness and bravery. ; Something to Eat. We find the folio w ing paragraph in the New Orleans Bulle tin: "It is estimated that the crop of Indian corn in the West, for 184G, will be more than 500.000.000 of bushels, and that of the wheat will exceed 140,000,000 bushels, which would produce equal to 28,000,000 barrels of .flour.

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTIONS.

The Whigs have hardly left a grease spot of heir opponents in the old Bay State. They lave elected the entire delegation to Conress. Gov. Briggs' majority will be from 0,000 to 12,000. The entire Senate, forty members, will be whig. As far as heard from, 93 whigs, 11 locos, and 3 abolition representatives have been chosen. The Boston Post, loco, "acknowledges the corn1'- in advance of returns from ihe whole State: - He bears ihe reverses of his party like a man. Hear him: The democrats cannot have strong hopes of electing a single Senator.. On the vote for Governor we have , returns from se veral counties, all in favor of the whigs. The whigs have elected their Governor, Lieut. Governor, a majority in the legislaurc, and succeeded in all the Congressional districts. The Democratic vole is unusually small, and we shall go To bed and sleep as we can. DELAWARE. An election took place in Delaware last week, for Governor, a mem ber of Congress and members of the Legisature. Houston, the whig candidate for Congress is elected, the legislature is whig, and Tharp, the locofoco candidate for Gov ernor, it is believed is elected. VERMONT. The Vermont Legislature adjourned sine die on the 3id inst. Before their adjournment, says the Louisville Journal, the House ol Repiescniatives passed resolutions declaring that Vermont will not give her assent to the admission of any new State into the Union whoso constitution tol erates slavery; and, declaring the opinion of the House, that the war with Mexico "was not founded in any imperative necessity such as may justify or excuse a Christian na tion for resorting to arms," and that "it has now manifestly become an offensive war against a neighboring Republic." They declare further that "the honor and best interests of the nation will be subserved by speedy end of the war with Mexico, and the settlement of all matters in dispute by arbitration or negotiation." The . next House of Represen tatives. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot has no doubt of a decided Whig majority in the next house of Repre sentatives. J he following is an extract of his letter of the 6th inst: All who had doubts about the success of the Whigs in electing a majority of the members to the next popular branch ol Congress, may now givQ those doubts to the winds. Thus stands the account at present : Next Congress. Present Congress. V L F N Vac't W L FN Vac't

: There will be thirty States represented in the next Congress, and the number ot Representatives they will be entitled to is 230. Of this number, 1 1G cons;itutes a majority. Giving to the Locofocos of the States yet t a elect., the same uumUerof Representatives they have in the present Congress, that is, giving them 14 of the 15 for Virginia, 6 ol me v tor ionn Carolina, & 01 tne 1 lor Louisiana, 8 of the 10 for Indiana, G of the 7 for Alabama all in Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas and Mississippi all in New Hampshire,, which they cannot get and al lowing them to fill the 4 vacancies in Maine which they cannot do and then they will have, all told, 115 oiembeis, just one half! But they will lose in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Indiana, Tennes see, New Hampshire, and Maine, at least 14 members, which will bring their entire force in the House of Representatives down as low as 100 members. This will give the Whigs 30 msjority enough for all useful purposes. Perhaps there never was a set of men more chqp fallen than the horde of Locofoco office-holders in this city at the present time. 1 lie avalanche 01 the people 3 disapprobation has come down upon them and their maslers with a power and force they little dreamed ol ! They are amazed and stand aghast, in many instances exclaiming, "how iu the world are we to account for all tliis!11 The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce; "We lean that the President is about to call out a large additional volunteer force. He will take them chiefly irom the South, as the .Southern troops will be best adapted to the-climate. This accords with the statement made some time ago by General Pierce M. Buttler, of South Carolina, viz: that if the war continued a large force would be drawn from the South. A letierof the 7th October, the latest date from Monterey, mentions a rumor, which is doubtless well-founded, thai Major Geneial Wm. O. Butler will sue ceed Major Gen. Patterson in the command of the Rio Grande jwsts, and that the latter is 10 have the command of som new ex pedition. "Congress must do two things at the coming session the first is to provide more amply for the widows and orphans of the officers and men killed or disabled in the serviceand provide, by law for the promotion of non- ! commissioned officers and privates who have distinguished themselves. '

LATER FBQy EUROPE. Highly Important Commercial Intelligence Steamship Great Britain still Ashore Advance in the Grain and Flour MarketsAdvance in the Cotton Market The Depression in the Money Market.

The Steamer Britannia, from Liverpool,, whence she sailed on the 20ih ult., arrived at Boston on the 7th, making the passage in seventeen days and a half - - -' ' The intelligence is highly important in a political as well as a commercial point of view. Grain has gone up all over tbe country, and speculation is the order of the day. The following are the most interesting items: -The deplorable condition of Ireland en grosses public attention in the British Islands. The famine continues to spread over that un fortunate country. Diseases of a malignant type are .also adding 'to the horrors of the scene. Indian corn has advanced considerably , and selling (best quality) at 48s. per quarter, be ing an advance of 2s. since 4th Oct. , Flour has advanced, bonded flour being at thirty three shillings per barrel, a "rise of one shilling on the highest quotation per last steamer. " - j Cotton has advanced full three-eights of a penny per pound, on an average. The Liverpool market closed with an upward tendency. Orleans, 4f to 6d, and Mobile 4i toGiJ, are the extreme quotations tor ordinary and fair qualities. A rumor has been prevalent during the week, and seems rather to gain ground than otherwise, that the English government has in contemplation to open the ports for the admission ol all kinds grain, duty free.The price of grain U ipidly rising in all the European ports, tiie best proof of scarcity; and supples for Gteat Britain as well as the Continent must come principally from the United Stales and Canada where the harvest has been happily abundant. - The money market is depressed, partly in consequence of the prospective withdrawal of bullion to America. England is getting corn from Van Dieman's Land. A vessel arrived in the St. Katherine's Docks "from Van Dieman's Land, brought, consigned to different hands, the large quantity of 5,d4'J packages ol wheat. The steamer' Great Britain lies in twelve feet water, between two rocks. There is some anxiety yet iu the minds of the owners of this steamer. Tbe noble vessel is still ashore, although every effort has been made use of. to remove her. It is thought the vessel will not sustain much more damage than she already has. British enterprise and ingenuity are at work to devis6plaii3 of releiving her The ship is very badly fixed, going ashore at high tide and continually working herself on. However, hopes are entertained of yet getting her off; for this purpose great preparations are being made, the intention being 10. get her off by machinery. It is thought this will be accomplished in six weeks. But it is rather a sanguine expectation. Mr. Brancrofi, the newly appointed Minis ter from the United States in room of Mr. McLane, accompanied by his lady, has arrived in London from New York. The Journal de Havre says, that the French frigaie d'Andromede, and sloops of war Blonda, Plyade, Mercer, and. steamer Tonnere, under the command of Admiral Laplace, are bound, and will soon sail for the Gulf of Mexico. France. Our advices from Paris, accor ding to Wilmer's ' Times, are of the 14th ult. The marriage of die Due de Montpensier with the Pincess Louisa of Spain has occu-. pied the greater part ol the public attention since my last letter. Louis Phillippe, by an ordinance of the G1I1 inst., has pardoned upwards of one hundred prisoners on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier. A telegraphic despatch announces that the weddiag was duly accomplished on the 10:h inst. It is now, therefore, what, iu diplomatic jargon, is called un fait accompli. This is a grave fact, considering that the British Government has not only remonstrated,' but protested against it. The remonstrances were addressed both to the French and Spanish Governments; the protest to the latter exclusively.- A copy of the protest was, however, left with M. Guizot. The Journal des Debats, speaking, uo doubt, in the name of the Government, expresses a confident belief that "the communications of Great Britain are not of a nature to alter permanently the relations between the two countries, to the maintenance of which the French Government attaches the highest price." People, however, are not quite so sanguine a. the Debats, and on the Bourse, a veritable panic prevails, every day bringing lower the funds and railway shares. That England is injured by the marriage is probable; that she is offended is certain. Now in this part of the world, England has the reputation of not allowing herself to b injured with impunity, and even for a simple otfence it is believed that she generally finds means to take ample vengeance. The newspapers, therefore, say that France will be obliged to make great sacrifices to appease England, for she cannot do without the English alliance that alliance being the base of the policy of her Government the anchor which has enabled her vessel to ride the storms and brave the tempests of sixteen long years. Events will prove whether this prediction will, or will not be realised. Realised or not, it is certain that for some time to come the entente cordiale must be considered as existing no more and until it be re-established the relations of the two Governments will be of such a very delicate nature, that circumstances of no intrinsic importance may be able to light up war. . , ' - The effect of the Seizure of California in France. Notwithstanding the interesi felt in the Montpensier marriage question, the journals have found time to say a good deal about the seizure or annexation, or whatever it may be., called, of California. The great Government organ, the Debats, makes this brief, but expressive observation 011 the matter: "By the acqusition of California the Uuited States gain a territory which de-

scehds fronTthe 42d to 23d - degree, and which in a straight line is 2,500 kilometres in length. 1 1 is simply' a complete revolution effected in the balance of power on the Pacific ocean. For France it is a question of no interesi; for Great Bri'.aiu it is an affair ol the first importance. And yet the statesmen and the newspapers of England neglect this great matter to devot6 their thoughts and efforts to discover iu Spain if there is not some chance to renew the disorders which have so long desolated this friendly country 1" The Washington Cabinet will 110 doubt be enchanted to learn that the annexation of California "is of no interest to France," for in that case it will not have France to struggle against; but then what becomes of Mr. Guizoi's famous balance ol power on the Ameri

can continent, and how can he contrive to exercise his interference in the Texan business? - The Epoque, which speaks the sentiments of M. Guizot, takes a view directly contrary to that of the Debats. It commences by saying that, notwithstanding the difference of opinion between . England and France oa the marriage question, there are others on which. they are in complete agreement. It then says that if the United States be allowed to take California, they will be able to dispute with the Europeans the possession of the islands which command the junction of the gulf with the ocean, and will be masters of the commerce of India, China, and the islands of Oceanie. "This," it proceeds "must excite the solicitude of the maritime nations of Europe. To pretend that England alone is interested in a question whit h menaces wiih a general overthrow the maiitime and commercial relations of the two worlds, would i;e to deny to France the right and necessily to maintain a place on the seas." In the affair ut Cali fornia too, the Epoque, expects to see the opposition acting as in the case of Texas. It adds: "In the affair of California,' as in the affair ol Texas the iuterests of France and England are identical, and the two Governments, we are convinced, will act therein with the same understanding as has for six years presided over their relations." This language is explict enough in all conscience and if it be put forth with the sanction, or even the knowledge of M. Guizot, is of great importance. That the French Government is at heart most seiiously displeased at the annex ing disposition of die Washington Cabinet. 1 entertain no doubt whatever; but notwithstanding what is said by the Epoque, it would perhaps be prudent not to count too confidently on its fling in the face of the United Slates at a moment when its relations with England are in so ticklish a position. - If. however, its hostility to the annexation of California can repurchase the entente cordiale sacrificed for the Montpensier marriage I have no doubt whatever (hit it will show that hostility by all means in its power, for the alliance with England is so necessary to it, isolated as it is in Europe, that it would not hestate one moment 1o oblige England at the expense of the United Stales. The Presse thinks that in struggling against the Amen cans, Mexico "struggles against its destiny, and augments and prolongs the tortue of its agony." It thinks, loo, that Ihe English cabinet will reconcile itself to the taking 01 California, since Lord Palmerston has not menaced war. "Perhaps," adds the Presse. "his lordship will protest; but now a-days British protestations need not be regarded seriously, and they will no more prevent the annexation of California than the marriage ol the Due de Montpensier. 1 he Constitu lionnel, the organ of M. Thiers, says nothing remaikable on the suhject. What it does say however, is tinged with a friendly spirit towards 1 lie United Stales; and it expresses a hope ihat the'trench Government will not imitate in California its conduct in Texas. The Quotidienne says that "the Washington Cabinet goe3 quickly to work and shoes little respect for the rights of propeity." The Courier Francais thinks that England will not dispute the taking of Calfornia, but will keep alive ihe Mexican war, so that the new territory will cost dear to the United Slates. The National says thai England will give in to the desire of ihe Americans. In a second article the Epoque takes up very warmly ihe same ground as in the first, insisting that it is the undoubted interest of Erance to prevent the annexation. Your contemporary! adds, moreover, that from the ill success of their arms, the - Americans are not, in its opinion able to enfoice in Mexico ihe cession of California. In giving the recent news from America, all the journals have taken care to state, with a certain emphasis, the " slow rate of Gen. Taylors advance, and the indiscipline of his troops. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Washington, in which it says that the most friendly leelnigcoutinues to be manifested throughout the United Slates towards Great Britain. The writer thinks that the cordial alliance now existing between the two countries is likely to be of long duration. Belgium. There is great, one may say dreadful misery in Flanders, occasioned principally by the scarcity of food, and by the throwing out of work between 100,000 and 200,000 persons, in consequence of the adoption of machinery in spinning cotton. The price of corn is higher in Belgium than in either France or JEngland. DEMOCRATIC "PROGRESS." : .The New York Globe of Saturday last says: "The great ratification meeting at Tammany Hall adopted a resolution in favor ol giving to every landless man having no means of paying for land, sufficient land to make a good sized farm," and of course, as a very fair corollary to so liberal a proposition that, on squandering his farm thus acquired and becoming again "landless," he shall have another. The Globe goes on to felici late all the "landless" of its party in this wise: "The 'National Reformers,' as they are styled, have succeeded, as we expected they would, to engrafl one of their principles, and an important one, upon the Tammany Democracy. It will now succeed. Many years will not elape before every man who wants land to till tor the support of himself and family can go and take possession of as much as he can till, free of price.'1'' This would all be very well jf all those who are not "landless" would consent; but

whenever the "landless" portion bl society

become the strongest, the other must succumb and let all who are "out at elbows with fortune" help themselves. J3ucb are wild but we fear "progressive," notions of Tammany Democracy. " " ' C7"Our River which has been in fine boating order for some time is again rising, and judging from the signs above" Us,' there will be some pretty high water. The Mississippi is rising also. Pakis C. Dcnnixo. The locofoco paper published at Logansport, is particularly severe upon our Lieut. Governor, although we must say deservedly so. Hear him: Our Lieut, Governor. Circumstances in relation to the course of Mr. Paris C. Dunning at the Rio Grande, which have been made public through a letter from a strong j Democrat who is among the volunteers, cause us to regret that Mr. Dunning was ever nom-,! iuated and supported by tbe Democratic par-. ty. His occupation among the volunteers has been a despicable one one that should cause every man in State to blush. He has been a retailer of whisky to the soldiers ' and this, saying nothing of the swindling rates, is enough to disgrace him in the eyes ' of most men. A man, who will "horn" out liquor from a "doggery" at home is bad enough; but that man "who will go thousands of miles from home for the purpose of robbing the soldiers, must be particularly mean. We think, supposing the accounts to be true and we see uo reason to doubt them, that , Mr. D. is not fit to preside over the Senate i ol Indiana. He has betrayed a mind too willing 10 grovel in the mire of meanness for fps, and deserves the contempt of every mail in the state aye, in the Union. We regret that we ever voted for the man and we have but the consoling reflection in - the premises, that it was for our party the vote was given. We know not the man personally, : But we know him, now, as well as we could wish. He return to preside in rite Senate this winter! Bah! he is a stench in the nostrils of the party! A man who will thvs act is i unworthy the affection or support of any parwhere he is he has found his proper level let him keep it. Dunning has arrived at home, and will, we presume, lake his seat as President of Senate. A Great Fact. Tlie voice of New York on the tariff question. Mr. Maclay is the only member of Congress from this State that voted for Polk and Walker's tariff, who has been re-elected, and the majority against him in his disirct is G65. Not more than seven or eight of the members elect are freetrade men, while twenty-six or twenty seven wiil vote for the restoration of the Whig tariff of 1842. N. Y. Express.
