REVENUE BILL IN THS HOUSE—THE LAND DISTRIBUTION ADHfiRED TO. The House adjourned at seven o'clock last evening, after a session of nine hours. The Revenue bill was reported before the adjourn* ment, with the proviso of the Land bill repealed—thus securing to the States the distribution of the proceeds of the lands.

The further details of the bill I must defer until mv next, in order to send them to you revised by the printer.

TUB LAND CLAUSE.—The 25th section of the Revenue bill is the section which repeals tho proviso to the Land bill of the extra session. When the Committee of the Whole had gone thus far, an effort was made to put aq end to the day's work by the Loco foco members. A motion was submitted that the Committee rise, and it was voted down by acclamation—the majority being resolved to see a safe deliverance to the bill, at least through the Committee of tho Whole on the state of the Union. This motion defeated. Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, submitted, in lieu of the 25th section of the bill, his pmjet for the assumption of State debts. It was read through, a whole bill and very long, and then rejected with a "HO!" as loud as the chorus of thunder.

Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, followed with I his plan for the assumption of State Debts.— It was read at the Clerk's table, and being read, there was a demand for tellers. Tellers were formally appointed and took their positions in the centre of the Hall. "Those who are in favor of the amendment will pass ^between the tellers," said the Chairman.— 'All were now eyes instead of ears. The cen*tre of the Hall was the centre of attraction, -and in a moment the stillness was changed to 'a roar of laughter. But two men rose to vote ,,in the affirmative, Mr. Johnson, of Md. the •Jnutlior of the amendment, and Mr. Gentry whohad submitted the previous proposition! i'l'he two gentlemen passed through the ring /with nil the stateliness of grenadiers, and the sChair, amidst shouts of laughter, announced »that "the amendment was evidently not car fiedr

It was a long time before order was restored, and Mr. Cushing now moved to strike out the 25th section to the bill. Tellers were de manded and ordered. Tho result was that Mr. Cushing's motion was voted down by a vote of 105 to 70. But 70 were against Distribution, and 105 for it—so ended this question. There were bqt four more sections to the bill, and the^fotrty-one, which made the disposed of. had been gone through with le chairman of the committee, con-

To the rule in the British Parliament, alamendments to be offered to the por ions of the bill which had been gone through with. This plav, for none of it was any thing more, was soon over, and, on motion of Mr. Botts, of Va. the bill was then reported from the committee, to the House.

Mr. Underwood moved the printing of the bill and amendments, which was ordered.—' Mr. Bronson moved the Previous Question, which is pending, and upon which tho House adjourned. To day will see a quietus of the whole bill, so far as it depends upon the present action of the House.

^ASSUMPTION OF STATE DEBTS. Among the proceedings of the House on the 7th, the Correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot gives the following:

Mr. Win. Cost Johnson continued the discussion, and made an able speech on his own hook. It was in defence of the assumption of State debts by the General government. It was a bold, fearless, strong argument, which embraced a plan which, though it will be repudiated by both parties, will find advocates with both. It is presented not as a party measure, and by the mover not as a party man, for Mr. J. takes the sole merit and the personal odium of the system. You will be surprised to learn, as you will when Mr. Johnson presents a written speech to the public, as he says he will in the course of a short time from this.

Mr. Johnson has precedent for his project and that, too, in many opinions of the most distinguished men of the country from the time of Jefferson to the present day. Mr. J. refers to the treaty of 1803, whereby the Government assumed the debts of the States when the National debt was $6,000,000, tho State debt $24,000,000, and the revenue but one million upon an importation of $20,000, 000. The payment of one million for the District was upon the same principle and in 1S26 the principle was successfully defended.

The effects of the system, if it should be a* dopted by Congress, Mr. J. showed would bo most fortunate. The non-indebted States would have a good currency and the moans of making themselves rich. The indebted States would be relieved from their burdens and the plan Mr. Johnson argued was not attended with as many difficulties as had beon imagined. The lands would yield a revenue sufficient to pay their interest upon the public debt. For the last ten years the average per annum receipts were $8,000,000, leaving out the two years whon fifteen and twenty-five millions were received, the average receipts for the past ten years would be four ana a half millions. The interest upon two hundred millions could be easily paid and a sinking fund of $1,000,000 raised by taxing foreign luxuries.

The Globe tuts attempted an analysis of the vote in the House of Representatives upon the Revenue Bill, which is so unfounded in point of fact as to merit expnsure.%8 state* that had the House been full it would a 120 to 120, not including the Speaker, and making ailowance for the va*

From such a record, it would be hard to draw a conclusion as to the intentions of the President, though some here have attempted to do so.

I had intended to have given you the names of the Whigs who voted against the bill and with the Loco Focos, but believing that they find themselves in a sufficiently bad fix without holding the mirror up to nature, I leave them with the remark that such Whigs would very soon destroy, not only their party, but every principle which they, in common with their party, believed to be necessary to save the Government from the hands of the spoilers

JJpon the final vote the Hous# was an usual If foil-— All the absentees (except perhaps Mr Wise) are believed to have been absent from necessity. If all had been present, and tho Speaker had also voted, the majority would have been about tho same. But, to save the bill and to ensure its passage,* there is no doubt that had it been even rejected on its first trial, that vote would have been reconsidered, and the bill passed by a sufficient majority of votes.

Of the character of the.bill the reader will be able to obtain a pretty good idea by a close observation of the fate of the amendments proposed to it. Some important amendments, it will be seisn, though agreed to in committee of the whole was rejected by the House among them that embracing the warehousing system, and that which exempted the articles of tea and coffee from duty, which articles, among the enumerated articles in the bill as it passed, are subject to an ad valor' em duly of twenty per cent. Without the duty on these articles we would have considered the bill an essential failure as a measure lor revenue.

There is one section introduced into the bill by way of amendment, on the motion of Mr- W.C. Johnson of Maryland, and unanimously concurred in by the House, which we look upon as the most importantstep, we were going to say, but the word stride would better express our idea—stride, let us say, towards the reform of abuse and the economizntion of expenditure in the collection of revenue, that has been thus far effected during the whole course of our experience of public affairs. It is one that we have ourselves more than once heretofore suggested as necessary to bring under some control by Congress, and, we may add, by public opinion, the potential but irresponsible_and almost invisible patronage springing from the Customhouse establishment, or clinging to it with parasite tenacity nnd appetite. We refer, of course to the provision that, henceforth, the Secretary of the Treasury shall, in his annual report to Congress state the number and names, &c of all persons employed in the collection and protection of the revenue, and the amount paid to each, by salary or otherwise, and that ihe compensation of ail such officers, in whatever form, shall be drawn from the Treasury upon regularly audited ac~ counts, instead of being drawn from the revenue by ore it reaches the Treasury, fc.

This we take to be one of the fruits of the late Cus-tom-house investigation, the valuable information furnished by which has thus not been entirely smothered by objections to ihe constitutionality of the Commission, or by exoepthns to the constructions put by the Commissioners upon some portions of the testimony taken be'ore them. Notwithstanding these imputed misapprehensions of the Commissioners, and the want of a good understanding between themselves, this investigation has supplied a vast amount of information of great value, verv necessary and proper to be placed in the possession of Congress and of the People.

The National Intelligencer has the following remarks on the subject of this important Bill: THE GREAT TARIFF BILL,

After having undergone a pretty thorough discussion and a fair trial of ail amendments proposed or suggested to it, finally passed the House of Representatives on Saturday evening by a majority of four voles. A tight fit, truly! But, then it must be remembered, that no tariff of duties can ever pass the-House of Representatives except by a close vote. There are so many and such different reasons which influence men to vote against it, in many cases not so much with the intention of defeating the bill, as for the purposes of marking their individual discontent at particular provisipns of it that the majoity in its favor will always be diminutive in its proportion. Instead of-four, however, the majority would we believe, have bqen ten or even twenty times as many, if all who believed that the bill ought to pass had voted in favor of it.

I concluded to prefer those charges when »sucl,

ieir duties according to their sense of pro-'

As to the sufficiency of cause for impeach-

ment, as far as I know, there is little differ* ence of opinion as to the mere question of expediency. There may be some honest but timid men, who fear a sympathy may be created in behalf of Mr. Tyler by the cry of persecution but to my mind it would bequiteas reasonable and sensible to suffer a mad dog to escape that had run through the publki streets biting every living thing he mei.WfA', from an apprehension that it might exfeite a sympathy for him by the cry of kill .him.— Mr. Tyler has persecuted too many, and has been the cause of too much suffering tn the country, to talk about persecuting him.

REPEAL OF THE LAND BILL.

A repeal of the Land Bill is urged as thfe only means by which we can obtain a good tariff.

Whether the question ought to be so limits ed we will not now consider but this wesayt that the position here assumed is wholly wrong. We admit the tariff" to be vital to the country it is the great, and only hope we now have and we would do much, and sacrifice much, to secure its establishment but, in our view, the repeal of the Land Bill would destroy this hope, and lead inevitably to the destruction of American manufactures, and a deeper prostration of American industry.»

For what, let us ask, is wanted so far as regards the tariff policy Stability. No man will invest his capital in„ manufactures, when our legislation is fluctuating in this matter, while those tyhoare so engaged will withdraw all interest they may have in them, if this be so, the moment they can. Now tee say there can be no stability in our tariff law if the Land Bill be repealed. For what, then{ would be our situation ?. Simply this, that it! consequence of receiving this year one sum, and the .next another sum, from the land fund, the rate of the duties could, never be settled. Legislators could not determine at one session of Congress what would b® required at the next, and the tariff* policy of the country would thus bo kept forever unsettled, open to the attacks of the "hitfr splitters"of 1 he South, and always the subject of political catenation and agitation.VWho wants this 'Who is willing to see the great interests of the country thus put at hazardt It would be as Mr. Granger says, death to these interests} and did no other objection exist* this would strong epough in itself to satisfy us that the Land Bill ought not to be repealed

But there is another and a stronger objection still to this step. It would end »n the ex* tablishment, tn our country, of a full free trade policy The availiability of the land fund it is somewhat difficult©estimate. But from causes well understood by all, from emigration, the gradual growth of our country, the rapid increase everywhere of the Wert, it is very certain, on a return of our wonted prosperity, that this fund would go far towards meeting all the expenses of government.— For the last eight years, government has de* rived from this source the following proceeds' 1833, #4,972,000' 1834, 1835, 1836,

From tie New York Tribune. E N E E S I E N

Henry Clay has now been formally nominated for next President by the Whig State conventions of Maine, Delaware, North Carolina, and Georgia, and by large meetings of the people in New York, Ohio, Louisiana, £c. l^ieee nominations, it will be observed, have been spontaneous, and entirely unsnimous. No other candidate was even named in any instance—no other thought of. No other has been proposed in any State and there is not now a single Whig Dana- in sny State but Pennsylvania, and possibly one in Ohio, that speaks of any man bn Henry Clay as its first, second, or third choice. In Pennsylvshia, a few journals hold up the name of Gen. Scott but it is most evident that Mr. Clay is the first choice of a majority. The jsreat majority of those who prefer another to Mr. Clay de so only from an apprehension that Mr. Clay cannot lake the vote of the State—an apprehension that the events of every psssing hour are dispelling. AH the indications of pilblic sentiment jusufy the assuranco that Mr. Clay is already substantially nominated as their candidate for President by ninety-nine of every hundred Whigs throughout the Union. •'Such being the notorious fact, it seems to us that the idea of holding a national convention to nominate is mistaken and preposterous. Such a convention, as things are, could do nothing but declare what every one already knows. "And we are sure that nothing exclusive nothing dictatorial, will be done or suffered by Mr. Clay's friends. If a fairly called convention of the Whigs, in any Whig State of the Union, shall declare a preference for any other candidate, then we shall hold it the policv and duty of the vast majority to unite in a national convention. Until that time, however, which we are confident will not come, we shall consider the matter substantially settled by the spontaneous snd almost unanimous voice of the Whig party from Mars hill to the Sabine, and shall act upon that conviction.

Harrison and Mr. Tyler.—P/iilad. Gazelle. "I propose that the surviving members of that Convention should re-assemble, in the same place, at as early a day as practicable, and by a solemn protest against the base treachery of the man who has been placed at ihe head of the nation, endeavor to prevail upon him to vacate the office which he is now exercising with such deleterious influences upon all the best interests of the country. I sincerely believe that this is a duty which the delegates owe to the great cause of republican liberty and although, for one, I should find the performance of it attended with some personal inconvenienee-—as well as unspeakable mortification at the unhappy necessity thus imposed upon us—yet as it is the only .redress we can now make to our unfortunate constituents, for the lamentable mistake which we then unwittingly committed, 1 am prepared most heartily to join my colleagues in the effort to atone, as far as possible, for the injuries thus inflicted upon our beloved country.

I should suppose that when the acting President finds the large and respectable body of men, who were instrumental in placing him where he now is, solemnly and indignantly calling ou him to surrender the trust which he has so grievously betrayed, he will for very shame comply with the request.

In case a general meeting of the delegates should prove impracticable, it is suggested fliat all the delegates to that Convention speak their sentiments of John Tyler, through the press."

O^rJohn Tyler has severed himself entirely aod forever from the whitt party—he is no more a whig than is Thos.ll. Benton or John C. Calhoun—be has no claims upon the whig party, and no true whig can longer support him or his administration.

A CALL UPON MR. TYLER TO RESIGN. It seems now impossible to doubt that John Tyler's imbecility and abuse of power have strongly excited the disnpproval of a large majority of the people of this Country. The expression of opinion against the President has been almost unanimous. Many of Mr. Tyler's strongest friends have condemned in no measured terms his last act of folly, in vetoing 'the little tariffbill. Curses, not loud but deep, are vented upon the rash hand that so suddenly arrested the progress of a return to more Stable and prosperous times. The following Expression of strong feeling on this subject, and a recommendation of a still further condemnation of the President, in a way that would touch him to the quick, is made through the columns of the Lancaster Examiner and mhr

Tippecanoe (Laf.) Journal.

Why Major that's what we've insisted upon these ten months. If the whig press uni versaily, after bis second veto, had placed the Executive (that is to say *his accdidencyl in his right position, it would have been far better for the country, and for those who are devoted to the principles of the illustrious HASEIsox. Weak, corrupt, treacherous and servile indeed, is be who now pollutes atid dishonors that high dignified seat, which was designed alone for such patriots as Washington, Harrison, aod Clay.—Carroll Express.

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

J. MARIA BE BOCANEGR* TO Ms. WEBSTER. V-S,.::,[TRANSLATION.] NATIONAL PALACE, MEXICO, MAT 31, 1843.

The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Relations and Government of the Mexican Republic, had the honor a few days since to address the honorable Secretary of State of the United States, in order to protest formally against the Government of that Republic, in the name of his Excellency the Provisional President, on account of the continual hostilities and aggressions of citizens of the United States against the Mexican territory. And although he might hope for a flattering result in the change of proceedings, he finds himself, in consequence of a continuation of those pro ceedings, under the necessity of again calling the attention of the Secretary of State to the undeniable toleration which has been and is still afforded to the enemies of a nation sin cerely friendly, and bound by the solemn com pacts of a treaty which unites the two Republics.

In~that note, the undersigned, after setting before the Secretary the prudence with which the Government of Mexico has sought, ever since the commencemect of the revolution of Texas, to conduct all its relations with the United States so as to avoid a rupture between two nations, which, from their importance, and other serious consideration, seemed destined to fix the policy ani the lot of the vast and rich continent of America, he flattered himself with the idea that the Cabinet of Washington would not protect, either openly or secretly, or in any way, the scandalous usurpations of an acknowledged portion of the national territory. He, however, regrets that he must judge from facts, open to nil the world, that very Cabinet of the United States, and the subaltern and local authorities, do observe a conduct openly at variance with the most sacrod principles of the law of nations, and the solemn compacts of amity existing between the two nntions sufficient proof being afforded by the consent given to the formation of the most tumultuous public assemblies in various parts of the United States themselves, to the equipment of armaments, and the embarkation of volunteers in large bodies, and to the preparation and disposal of every thing calculated to contribute to aid the Texians, and to the invasion of a neighboring and friendly Republic.

The Mexican Government cannot understand such conduct and being itself frank in its proceeding, and animated at the same time by a sincere desire that the relations now existing between this Republic and the United States should not suffer the slightest alteration, it considers itself bound in duty to repeat with every formality its former protest against such toleration the continuance of which will regulate the conduct to be observed by it agreeably to the dictatesof justice and to tho interests and dignity of the nation

^*he undersigned hopes that tho Secretary pleasedTl which the importance of the subject requires,

will be pleasedTto reply with that promptness

and he avails himself with pleasure of this opportunity to repeat to that gentleman the assurance of his most distinguished consideration, with which he remains, &c.

J. MARIA DE BOCANEGRA.

To the Hon. DANIRL W EBSTER, Secretary of State qf the United States of America

MR. WEBSTER TO MR. THOMPSON. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, July 13,1842

SIB: After writing to yon on the 8th instant, I received, through the same channel as the former, Mr. de Bocanegra's second letter, and at the same time your despatch of the 6th of June, and your private letter of the 21st. This last letter of Mr. de Bocanegra was written, as you witl see, before it was possible for him to expect an answer to his first, which answer is now forwarded, and shows the groundless nature of the complaints of Mexico. The letter itself is highly exceptionable and offensive.

It imputes violations of honor and good faith to the Government of the United States not only in the most unjust, but in the most indecorous manner. You have not spoken of it in terms too strong in your circular to ihe members of the diplomatic corps.

On the receipt of this, you will write a note to Mr. de Bocanegra, in which you will say That the Secretary of State of the United States, on the 9th of July, received his letter of the 31st of May that the President of the United States considers the language and tone of that letter derogatory to the character of th6 United States, and highly offensive, as it imputes to their Government a direct breach of faith and that he directs that no other answer be given to it than the declaration that the conduct of the Government of the United States, in regard to the war betweeu Mexico and Texas, having been always hitherto governed by a strict and impartial regard to its neutral obligations, will not be changed or altered in any respect or in any degree. If for this the Government of Mexico shall see fit to change the relations at present existing between the two countries, the responsibility remains with herself.

I am, sir, your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. To WADDY THOMPSON, Esq. fitwy Extraordinary and Minuter Plenipotentiary of the Uniiid States, Mexico.

The Madisonian affects to believe a majority of the people are with Mr. Tvler: and talks of "a peal boomiag from the West." In Tennessee, such an animal as a Tyler whig, is scarcely to be found, and in the ranks of the locofocos tbey aro almost as scarce«~iV.

We have no genuine specimen of the article in Mississippi. At least, we have never seen or heard of ooe. A few locos did pretend some months ago to love Mr. Tyler mightily but as for real Tyler

nooe of tbcro.—Soadrp*.

By the prospectus it wilt be seen Major Noah intends to s&rt a Tyler paper in New York, *as soon as necessary arrangements can be completed.' Of course the hint will beunderstood. Office-holders who hav'nt paid their passage, will please walk to the Major's office and settle! 'Berths must be secured before the boat starts.' She is up for the bead of Loco-Focoisro, aod there will be no stopping at irUrmediate pHx&s.—if. Y. Tribune.
