Iteporc oftlie Secretary or llic Xavj. Thia document seta out witli stating the number of men in service at any one time during the past year, which is 8,000. The difficulty of enlisting men has delayed the arrangements for employing cruisers on several ations. The force and operations in the Mediterranean are then spoken of, including the affair of the Carmelila. In this connection the Secretary speaks of privateering on the part of Mexico as inconsistent with the spirit of the age, resorted to as a means of revenue with a certain result of untold atroccities, if fuvored, and deserving as it has received, llie reprobation of the civilized world. The force on the coast of South America, the squad

ron on the c.ast of (Jluna, that on t,e Pacific, the operations in California, the operations of the Gulf squadron, and the loss of the brig Sjmers near Vera Cruz, are next severally dwelt upon with special praisa of Cum. Terry. In connection with the lost, the assistance rendered by the British, French and Spanish ships of war anchored near, is spoken of in the highest term. The medal, which by act of Congress are to be presented to the officers and men who risked their lives on tiiat occasion, will be transmitted as soon as Com. Terry shall have procured and com municated their names. The Secretary urges - an increase in the number of Assistant burgeons. He also recommeuds an allow ance to rxaval officers collecting duties in Mexican ports of one per cent, on the sum collected. In the Gulf of Mexico between thirty and forty tnousand dollars have been collected: the amount collected in the Facitic is not known. Of the vessels captured in the Gulf a good many have been valued, taken into ser vice, and their value is to be paid over as prize-mcney to the captors, as soon as they shall nave been legally condemned by the District Court of Louisiana. Those taken in the Pacific have been condemned by a Prizecourt there originated, but no prize-money is to be distributed till the proceedings of the Court have been revised by the Department. The extension of our laws over Oregon territory. and the establishment of Courts with Admiralty jurisdiction, is recommended. The voyages of the Jamestown and Macedonian are next spoken of. Mr. Uriah Brown's liquid tire has been tried with the 10,000 appropriated, but his shot-proof steamship hss not. The liquid fire is not approved of. The estimates of the next year are spoken of in the next paragraphs, 'which we quote: I have the honor to present, herewith, the Reports from the several Tureaux of Construction, Equipment and Repair, of Ordnance and Hydrography, of Yards und Docks, of Provisions and Clothing, and of Medicine and Surgery, with estimates in detail for the several branches of the Naval service for the next fiscal year. They are based on the employment, pending the war, of ten thousand men, as allowed by law, and a number of vessels in commission requiring their services. These reports present a gratifying exhibit of the condition of the public works, and of the public property subject to the control and direction of the Navy Department and the estimates have been prepared and revised with a careful desire to ask for nothing which is not neceaeary to the public interest. 1 respectfully ask the favorable consideration of the suggestions made by the experienced, able and faithful officers at the head of the Bureaux. The gross amount estimated for is ten millions three hundred and sixty-five thousand eight hundred and twenty-two dollars. The amount appropriated for the current fiscal year is 10,652,030 10. The estimates now presented include an item of 1,200,000. to complete the four war steamers authorized by the act of the 3d of March last, an increase of the appropriation under the head of contingent enumerated, and three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the prosecution of the work on the dry dock at New York. The reasons for these appropriations are given in the reports, and. I presume, will be satisfactory. There rre other objects estimated for, requiring a i inconsiderable expenditure, which seem to me to be necessary for the efficient discharge of the public duties devolved on the Department. Of the appropriations made for the current year, the unexpended balances will, without doubt, prove adequate to all the wants of the service. I deem it not inappropriate to the occasion, as illustrating the expenditure of the Navy Department since the commencement of the Mexican war, to present a comparative statement of appropriations and expenditures for the three years, under the heads of the appropriation of" pay, contingent, " increase and repair," 44 provisions and clothing," and "surgeons, necessaries and appliances." These may be denominated the variable appropriations, and will show the increase of expenditure, during the war, over that of corresponding periods in time of peace. This comparison exhibits the following result: jjpprtpria- Available ErpendiForvear ending lians assrerat lures.

The four war steamers authorized by the Act of March 3d. 1347, are rapidly building. The models. tonnage and machinery were adopted on the report of a mixed board of naval officers, constructors and engineers. The contracts for the transportation of the mail in steamer- between New York and Liverpool, between New York and New Orleans, from Havana to Chagres, have been made with Messrs. Collins and Sloo in compliance with the act of Congress. The carriage of the mail monthly from Panama to Oregon has been assigned to the lowest bidder. The Secretary says: Astoria, in the Oregon territory, was determined on as the northern terminus of the route, witli a right of changing it reserved to the Department, and the law was construed to require a mail to be transported from one point to the other within thirty days. The distance is more than three thousand miles, and the currents known to be such as to render it impracticable to perform the required service in sail vessels. It was, therefore, determined to employ steumers. The great distance at which the service is to be performed, the heavy expenses which must be incurred by the contractors in providing, on the Pacific coast, the necessary ships and materials for repair, the indispensable fuel and depots for coal, induced meto adopt the term of ten years as the duration of thia contract, 'which has been adopted by the Tost Office Department, for its foreign mail contracts. But to guard myself against the reproach of exceeding the authority which it was the intention of Congress to confer, a clause is inserted in the contract, reserving to Con--gress the right to annul the contracts at its approaching session, if it shall be deemed proper or expedient to d.i so. The contracts require the vessels to be ready for use in October and November of the year 1348, and the rijjht of pay will commence with the commencement of the performance of the mail services stipulated. The annual compensation under the contract will be: To K. Collins $385,00:00 To A G. Sit 200,000:00 To Arnold Harris 190,000.00 1 regard them as favorable contracts, and the establishment of a regular and speedy intercourse bv mail between the A tlantic cities and Oregon, as of t'.e highest national importance.. I have cordially o -operated in the establishment of the several lines of steamers stipulated by these contracts. Thirteen new vessels will be constructed in the most skillful manner, which may be used as war steamer, and will be available for national purposes in any emergency. The contracts stipulate that a mail agent, to be appointed by the Postmaster General, shall be placed and maintained on board. But as the contract is made with this department, and the payments will be made from the Treasury, on bills approved here, unless otherwise directed, it may be a question whether the law sufficiently provides for the regulation and collection of postages by the Post Office Department, and how far such receipts would be applicable to the payment of these contractors. I respectfully submit that the necessary legal enactments on the subject may be maJe by Congress. The Secretary asks Congress to make an appropriation for these contracts and to approve or annal the term for which they have been made. The Observatory is in successful operation. The refunding of 2.291 J0 duties on instruments imported for its use is asked for. The Superintendent was to have a salary of 3,000, but owing to a clerical error in the act prescribing the salary, he has as yet only received his pay as a Navy Lieutenant. The r.or enactment is asked for.

At the Naval School 9 Midshipmen are in attendance; t!;e school is d.iirig well and an excellent thing. An increase of the iiiiiii'.ier of Midshipmen in the Navy to 400 is recommended, making two tor each representative in the House. The full number of Marines authorized by the act of last March, have not been appointed. As tiie additional corps is serving on land and for the war only, they ought to have bounty land given t soldier?. The corps has served with distinction in Mexico, and is entitled to the favorable consideration of Congress. The system of disbursing money and supplies in the Navy is a good one, and works well. The measures taken for t lie construction of floating docks at Tlnladelphia, Kitterey nnd Pensacola will be made the subject of a special Report. From the New Orleans Picayune, Indeoendent Whig. The Heal Cause of the IV a r. It seems lo us that Mr. Clay has not made out his case in denouncing the war as unjust, by proving that the primary cause of it was the annexation of Texas. He must further prove that annexation was a wanton wrong done to Mexico. This, we think, is difficult to show. Texas was a free, independent State acknowledged as such by the civilized world, and Mexico was notoriously incapable of reducing her to lier former allegiance. Mexico had not for years before annexation, attempted such reduction; and the question of independence was merely kept open by her politicians as a topic of party contention and a pretext for levying military contributions upon her own people. In "this view of the case, the pcople of the United States and Texas had a right to dispose of their national domains as they thought fit, and if they chose to join their destinies, they cannot be said to have begun a war unjustly because another nation took umbrage at what it could not help, and at what they had a right to do. Mr. Clay mny be right in saying that "the immediate occasion of hostilities arose out of the order of the President of the United States for the removal of the army of Gen. Taylor from its position at Corpus Christi to a point opposite Matarnoras on the east bank of the Ilm Grande ;" yet, granting this much, it does not make out the charge of injustice. The question is, had the government a right to move the army across the Nueces 1 And this must be tested by concurrent facts. Mr. Clay, in his speech, asserts that in the purchase of Florida, the United States paid five millions of dollars and the right to insist upon the Rio Grande as the western boundary of Louisiana which was, as Mr. Clay thinks, the true boundary of the French purchase. Now, this same question of boundary arose in the formation of the Republic of Texas, and Mr. Clay justly remarks that when Mr. Slidell was despatched to Mexico to treat of boundaries, the territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande was disputed territory. Taking this to be the true state of the case, the United States had as much right to have an armed force on this neutral ground as Mexico had. Now, it is a notorious fact that Mexican armed bodies had crossed the Rio Grande before Gen. Taylor was ordered to cross the Nueces. It is also a notorious fact that Gen. Taylor was met at the Arroyo Colorado by an organized body of Mexicans, and that he was threatened with battle in case he crossed that stream. These facts are a part of the history of those times, and if entering the neutral territory with armed troops was an unjust commencement of the war, Mexico first committed the wrong. Moreover, not only had Carvajal, Canales and Romano Falcon crossed the Rio Grande before Gen. Taylor left Corpus Christi, but American citizens, traveling on lawful business through the disputed territory men, women, nnd children had been murdered by the followers oi' these Mexican officers in such a brutal manner, that what was right in respect to the previous acts of the enemy became a duty on the part of the government as a protection to our own people. Whatever motive may be ascribed to the Executive, the act of crossing the Nueces, at the most, not merely retaliatory, and at best needful to the safety of our citizens, and proper lest the exclusive military possession of the country be construed to weaken our title in the negotiations tor a boundary. It was our duty, as public journalists, to keep ourselves advised of what was passing in the neutral ground at the time, and we speak with knowledge on this subject. This view of the causes or' the war leaves out of question the insults and injuries which the government and people of this country had borne with patience from Mexico. The national mngnanimity passed over slights and wrongs which might justly have provoked war; but to abandon the disputed territory to the exclusively military occupation of the enemy, and our citizens to the murderous practices of Mexican armed bodies, would have carried that virtue to the point of sacrificing the lives of our people and the property of our claims of the nation to a fantasy which the enemy even to this day cannot comprehend. In respect to the terms upon which a peace is to be bought, we do not hold that the United States are bound down to the object involved in the commencement of hostilities. The fixation of the boundary of Texas may hate been the only object of the war at first or the conquest of a peace if you will but in the prosecution of the uar, the United States have acquired certain billigerenl rights rights of conquest and military occupation, which, under the laws of nations, we may hold or abandon as we see fit. Questions of this nature are the exclusive concern of our own people, and if, as we think, the war was just in its incipiency, all the rights grow ing out of its prosecution are legitimate property of the Union. Mr. Clay is for giving up the whole of it ; but this, and other modes of bringing a peace, are questions too large to be discussed in llie conclusion of nn nrticle. Whilst we agree with Mr. Clay that it would not be dishonorable to treat a beaten enemy with liberality nay it would not be dishonorable to give them more than they had before, because we may do it of our own free motive; yet we think it would be foolish to take anything into consideration, in making a peace, except what may be deemed needful, prolific or convenient to this Republic. The olive branch has been thrust into the faces of the Mexicans till all the leaves are shaken off. Nothing n.:re can be asked of us in this behalf, and now we think the conquered territory should be disposed of to suit ourselves and of this hereafter.

Annexation in the North. We do not advocate at present any agitation of this question, but as furnishing data for future historical events, many of the recent changes in Canada are worthy of notice. It is 6aid that Tecl lately affirmed in one of his speeches, that they were of no use to England. Lord Sydenham, then Poulet Thompson, said the same thing. We now give their geographical extent : Canada contains ... 22-2,730,000 acres. Nova Scotia .... Ü,yj3,880 do. New Brunswick, - - 174260,000 do. Newfoundland, - - - 23,000,000 do. Cape Breton, ... 5,000,000 do. Prince Edward Island, 1,360,000 do. Total, 270,355,800 England, Ireland, and Wales, together contain 73,-399,0-10. The area of Conadi alone is About six times as large as that of England and Wales. Newfoundland is larger than Ireland, and Cape Breton and Prince Eduard Island are fully the size of Wales. So vast a country stretching along our frontier, and partially peopled by an enterprising race in a great measure by Americans and their children must be in its future destiny important to us and to the world. It cannot long continue to be ruled by a distant nation indeed alre uly it is more so in name than in reality, and as tho part of its population born in Europe mush diminish with each succeeding generation, its predilections will naturally incline to this country, with which its commercial and geographical relations compel it to cultivate the closest connection. The regulation of their custom house duties has already been cedd to the colonists. The postoffice seemed the chief object of which it was desirable that they should obtain the control. It is said in Canada papers, received yesterday, that the British government had consented that the Provinces of North America should arrange the postage as they might sgree among themselves. For this purpose, delegates to Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have recently assembled at Montreal, and have agreed that a rate of three pence, Halifax currency, (3 cents) per half ounce, be the charge of a letter sent a distance of no more than three hundred miles, and beyond that distance sixpence (ten cents.) A man named Lee exchanged 'G00 of counterfeit paper at Petersburg!!, Va., on the 0th instant, and immediately left in the Northern cars. The fraud was won discovered, and a telegraphic despatch sent lo Washington, where the guilty party was arrested the next day, and all but AlO of the money recovered.

Important from 31extco. Citt or Mexico, Dec. 13, 147. ! Eds. Delta We have ,-id vices from Clueretaro lo the üth inst. Tim Mexican government is in a most deplorable condition Although (hern mm igt til a pionuncia-1 niento, with the object of . eitlirnwiiij; the Governnieut ' now in existence, it i douttilul whether there is any chieftain, in the present distraited Mat of the country and the prestation of nil business, able to command the elements tiecessurv to succeed in such a mot ement, the principle requisite being money. Any nun who heads a levolution, must gatisfn iorily show the persons he enlist in his cnuse, that lie will be utile tu y them better than they were paid previously , and that he has means sufficient to curry out nil Inn projects. If, thereafter, he fails to comply with his pledge, his downfall will be more speedy than his rise to power and nulhority. Therefore 1 conclude that it is extremely doubtful whether any party will be able to succeed in o rrllirowing the present government, hs it is with great difficulty that the party now in power can furnish the amcunt daily required lr the ordinary routine of the n flair of Government, both their intei nal and coastwise revenues being almost etitiiely cut otf, and every new party coming into power would have to depend upon their individual resources for the money necessary to support the Government proper, the army and "haiijers-on," without which they could not exist a day. Fioin such a stale of nfTairs, the "private stealings" would be simill, and therefore idler but little inducement to speculators. The only advanliige a new party could gain by coming into power, would be lo make a peace witli themselves in power, but in rase they would succeed in negotiating, the Congress to meet in January of the coming year would not confirm it, as a large majority have been elected from the present party in power, and are pledged to support the present government. With such a state of a flairs existing, what can the revolutionary spirits n&ompIUh. I informed you, in my letter of th 4th inst., that the Government at Quere taro were anxious nnd willing to make a peace; that if the despatches of Mr. Trist had been three days longer reaching him,n treaty would have been concluded: of this there is no doubt, hly informant is a gegtleman at at Queretaro, who is well conversant with the movements and measures ol the Mexican Government, lie also informed me, as I then wrote you, that the convention of Governors, which adjourned about the 1st inst., were unanimous in their views, that the only way for (he Mexicans to preserve their nationality nnd retain any portion of their territory, was immediately to conclude a peace "an honorable peace" and that it was "not dishonorable in them lo sell their territory :" and fin thennore, that the Governors there assembled, and the National Government had mutually pledged themselves to the support of each other, if they succeeded in concluding with Mr. Trist a treaty of peace. The commissioners on the part of Mexico have been in this city, and, 1 am informed, have been endeavoring to arrang j with Mr. Trist. Whether they have succeeded, no peison as yet is apprised; but I hope, for the interests of ovr country, that he will, if he is so enabled, go home with the treaty in his pocket. Not only the interests of the country, but the interests of the world, and the preservation of the honor of our gallant little army, who labored so hard, and accomplished so much, requires it at his hands. One thing is certain : Mr. Trist did not go home with the last train, which left here on the 9th inst. From this we might conclude that he intends having some understanding with the Mexicans beloie lie leaves. I think it altogether probable lie will either make a treaty or take home with him the propositions of the Mexicans. If he makes a tieaty, there is but little doubt of its being confirmed immediately after the organization of the Mexican Congress in January. If he does o, it will prevent she necessity of our extending our military line of operations, at a great trouble aed eipense, some five hundred miles further. In the course of the next ten days I will be fully informed what is the correct stute of affairs nt Queretaro, and if there is any amicable arrangement entered into, you may depend upon being correctly informed thereof at an early date. The army is now about being thoroughly organized the new and the old regiments so disposed of as to give the whole a better tone, arid I have no doubt add to its general efficiency and if the present peace movement does not result in something definite, in the course of the next two weeks, a division of 4,000 effective men will be dispatched to the mining districts situated in Zacatecas, and the States thereto adjoining. The object of this detachment will be to enable us to avail ourselves of the national resources of the mines. On the 7th inst., Gen. Patterson, with his command, arrived at this point, 12,035 men. i Generally speaking, they are a good body of troops, and after they have be.an laughtthe necessary duties, drill and i discipline, will be good soldiers. However, there came I along with them the greatest American curiosities that as yet have entered the city of the Aztecs they were the observed ol all observers, and excited as much lively interest as if President Polk and 1 It 3 American Congress had suddenly set themselves down in front of the Palace to organize and regulate a government and laws for the people of this benighted land crowds of men flocked to see them, (however always keeping a respectful distance,) and women, affrighted, rushed from the balconies into the houses. Perhaps you would like to know who these terrific beings are. Well, they nre nothing more nor less than Jack Hays and his Texan Hangers, with their old fashioned maple-stocked rifles lying across their snddles, the buts of two large pistols sticking out of the holsters and a pair of Coil's six-shooters belted around their waist, making only fifteen shots lo the-num. Do you think this was anything to be scared at? There nVe only 500 men in the regiment, and summing them all up, they have only got 7,500 shots, which it will take them at least from eight to ten minutes to fire into the ranks of an enemy, when they are at a charge. Dot then they have got a name, and I am beginning to believe there is something in a name. The Mexicans believe them to be a sort of semi-civilized, half-man, half-devil, with a mixture of the lion nnd snapping-turtle, and have a more holy horror of them than they have of the evil saint himself. And do not be suiprised when I tell you that I have several times been asked by some of the inhabitants if the Teians will be allowed to ge out into the streets without a guard over them. It is really surprising that men with euch a reputation should be among the very best disciplined troops in our army, and not disposed to commit outrages, or create disturbance in any way. But the greasers must not interfere with them, as was illustrated this evening. About cn hour ago some of them were quietly passing through one of the stieets, when a crowd of leperos gathered around them and commenced throwing stones the result of which was, that in a very few minutes there were ten dead Mexicans lying in the sireet, and two men, badly wounded, taken to the guanl-housc. A train left here for Vera Cruz on the 9th, accompanied by many officers going Imme, a greater portion of whom hive been wounded in the battles before this. Gens. ' Twiggs and Pierce also went down, the f rmcr to take j command of the post at Vera Cruz, and the letter to re- ; port nt Washington. Gen. Uutler, with his command, is expected to arrive i to-morrow or the next day. The old general will be' heartily welcomed back to the army. !

On the 1st of December, gentlemau atrtved herefrom Jala pa, reported all tranquil in that city. Gen. Patterson and staff, accompanied by a company of dragoons, left on the 25 I', while the la ige train under his command was in advance. He left 600 infantry to gariison that point, so that at piesent the road from there to this place is entirely open to tiavelleis. The sehr.

Mai-hall, who had been ill for some time, having recoveied, left with a tiaiu. His command amounted to 17S0 men, rank and file. On the 4th, a detachment of Louisiana mounted men and U. S. infantiy left this place for a small town named Made- I lin, where it had beeu reported that a body of gueriileiot I weie quartered. Our troops arrived at that place at 12 o'clock at night. On reaching a bouse whete there was a fandango, or ball, they weie hied upon and two of their hoises disabled. Our Hoops immediately te turned the compliment, and no less than six Mexicans were killed, and about fifteen wounded. Lieut. Col. lii-coc, who was in command, then oideied his ttoops to withdraw. The conduct of the Ameiican is gen -eially appioved, even by the Mexican. Capt. Wheat, who ariived to-day (9th) from Jalapa, reports that Gen. Butler and rtuQ left Jalapa fur Puela 011 the 6th.

Headquarters of the AkmtJ Mexico, Nov. 12, 1S47. , The attention of certain officers of this army is recalled to the foregoing regulation, which the general-in-chief is resolved to enforce so far as it may be in his power. As yet but two echoes from home of the brilliant operation of our arms in this basin have reached us ; the first in a New Orleans, and thev second through Tampico papers. It requires not a little charity to believe that the principal heroes of the scandalous letters alluded to did not write them, or especially procure them to be written, and the intelligent can be at no loss in conjecturing the authors, chiefs, partizans, and pet familiars. To the honor of the service, the disease pruriency of fame, not earned cannot have seized upon half a dozen officers (present,) all of whom, it is believed, belong to the same two coteries. False credit may, no doubt, be obtained at home, by such despicable self-puflings and malignant exclusion of others ; but at the expense of the just esteem nnd consideration of all honorable officers who love their country, their profession and the truth of history. The indignation of the great number of the latter class cannot fail, in the end, to bring down the concealed and the envious to their proper level. - By command of JMaj. Gen. Scott: 11. L. SCOTT; A. A. A. G. The letters alluded lo by Gen. Scott as "the echoes from home," are evidently the "Leonidas" letter, aud the other a Utter which appeared first in the Pittsburgh Tost, was thence transferred to 'the Union, whence we copied it ou the 8;h October, with some introductory remarks, and the whole then appeared in a Tampico paper, in which Gen. Scott saw first the letter. Upon the publication of Gen. Scott's orders, given above, Lieut. Col. Duncan, came out promptly in the North American, with the following frank avowal of his connection with the "Tampico letter," so called. According to the North American, the "Tampico letter" was "compiled from two letters written by officers of the army in Mexico to a brother officer in Pittsburgh, for his eye alone." But read what Col. Duncan has to say of it : Mexico, Nov. 13, 1847. To Ihe Editor 0 the North American Sir: I herewith present a copy of the "Tampico letter," characterized as "scandalous," "despicable," "malignant," &c, in general orders Ne. 349, published in the American Star this morning. To the end that the true character of this letter may be known, I desire that you republish it in your poper; and that none of my brother oßcers may innocently 6ufifer for a republication so obnoxious, I hereby publicly acknowledge myself to be its author. The substance of it I communicated from Tacubaya soon after the battles, in a private letter to a friend in Pittsburgh. The statements in the letter are known by many officers of the army to be true; nnd I can but think that thea publication of truth is less likely to do violence to individuals or the service than the suppression or perversion of it. Justice to Gen. Worth (who is evidently one of j the "heroes" pointed at in order No. 349,) requires) tue to state that he knew nothing whatever of my purpise tn write the letter in question, nor that it had been written till well on its way to its destination ; he never saw, or did he know directly or indirectly, even the purport of one line, word or syllable of it till he saw it in print, and he is equally ignorant of my design to make this declaration, which I do, as I wrote the letter, unprompted and on my own responsibility. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, - JAMES DUNCAN, Brevet Lieut. Col. U. S. A. After the publication of this letter, Col. Duncan was placed under arrest, and subsequently Gen. Pillow was arrested, and next Gen. Worth. The North American is of opinion that Gen. Pillow was not arrested on account of the "Leonidas" letter, but on the following grounds : There has been another arrest, that of Gen. Tillow, one of the chiefs aforenamed, but not, as appears, on account of the letters of which he is the hero. We hear, general!, that the caue was this: Gen. Pillow, having taken "exceptions to the finding of a court fif inquiry, which finding has been approved by Gen. Scott, addressed a paper relating 'to tho matter to the Secretary of War, through the commander-in-chief, prs8erving a copy, which he avowed, in a letter accompanying', lie had sent, (or would send) directly to the Secretary at Waehington. This traiuaction is

judged to be contempt, and for the so judged con-u-u.pt, Grti. Pillow is iirn stcd. v Gen. Worth's arn-st is thus noticed in the North Attu-ricnu of the 20th nit : The lat arret occurred yesterday that of Brevet Major Gen. Worth, and the charge is, we believe,

contempt towards the commander-in-chief. Without, n full knowledge of all the facts, we, do not purpose ' to lengthen tins article by any-remarks upon this proceed in jr. , We shall have more to say on this gray subject ! onothet day. J.
