PARTYCONVENTIONS.

—The Washington Union publishes the following letter from Gen. Taylor to a member of the late Democratic Convention in Kentucky, by which it appears the old hero will accept a nomination from a Convention of either party, though not to be considered as pledged to the views of either

BATON Rorat, LA., Feb. 6, 1848.

Dear Sir: Your letter of the 12th nit., in relation to the next hief Magistrate of the country, has just reached mo. In reply to which I have to state, so far as I am concerned, I have not changed the position I first occupied, as regards my being a candidate for that high office. A the same time, such has been the indications of the people, irrespective of party, as evinced by large meetings in many of the States in favor of my being a candidate tor the office in auestion, as to justify me, without departing from tne course 1 have marked out to pursue, to accept nomination from a National Convention, should such be held, for the Presidency, from the whigs or democrats, or from both, should they think proper to tender it, without being pledged, or even considering myself so, to advocate the views or opinions of either. And 1 again repeat, I have no aspirations for civil office, and am only a candidate so far as the good people of the country have made me so and those who: 000 rations were caused to be deposited are not willing to vote for ate without pledges for

The latest news from.Mexiao i%to the 9Q& Match. A mail from the city of Mexice reached Vera Crux on the morning of the 89th, bringing dates to the 25th from that city, and to the 26 th from Puebla.

The Monitor Republlcano of the 25th announces the death of Gen. Valencia, lie died the morning of that day from an attack of apoplexy. This is the officer, our readers will recollect, who was In command of the Mexican troops at Contrer&s, an& upon whom Santa Anna throws the responsibility of all his reverses in defaftoe of the city of Mexico.

Major Burns, who claims the authorship of the "Leonidas" letter, was under examination. The papers of the interior are full of accounts of the assassinations and robberies committed.

It is intimated that the design of sending Colonel Hays' command towards the coast is to clear the line from Mexico to Vera Cruz of the robbers which infest it. The valley of Mexico has been completely purified of armed guerillas by Hays' Texans.

It is reported that Col. Hays and his regiment are on their way to Vera Cruz. La Reforma, a paper published inPucMa says:

The bill relating to the California claims was then taken up. Mr. Badger offered an amendment to the bill, appointing Fremont and two officers, selected by the President as commissioners which was agreed to.

Mr. Mason renewed his motion to re* commit the bill with instructions. A debate on its constitutionality ensued, in whioh Messrs. Badger, Rush, Butler, Benton end Phelps, participated. Before action was had on the motion the Senate adjourned.

Agreeably to notice, Mr. Davis asked and obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the acts for the promotion of useful Arts, which was read twice and referred to the committee on Patents.

The bill conferring Judicial power upon the Consuls at China and Turkey was taken up and made the special order of the day for Wednesday next.

Mr. Niles moved, to take up the bill to repair the Cumberland Dam in the Ohio river, which was agreed to.

Mr. Bagby spoke in opposition to the bill, on what he onsidered constitution al grounds.

Mr. Crittende followed, and spoke briefly in support of the bill. The bill wa-s then read a third time and passed—Yeas 31, Nays 0.

Sundry p?ivate bills were then re ported, in the consideration of which the Senate was engaged until the hour of adjournment.

HOUSE.

The private calender was taken up and consequently the contested election case. Mr. Van Dyke being entitled to the floor advocated numerous claims.

The subject was then informally passed over, and the House resolved itself into a committee of the Whole on private bills.

Several private bills from the Senate were passed, and the House then adjourned.

SENATE. WASHINGTON, April 16th.

Senate was not in session to-

The

day. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Personal explanations were made this morning' by Mr. Palfrey, relative to some remarks made by Mr. Johnson.— He wished to know if the questions asked were intended as an insult to his family.

Mr. Johnson replied in the negative. The bill granting compensation lo Lieut. Gilliswas taken up and passed.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on private bills and after some time time spent therein the Committee rose and reported sundry bills of an unimportant character, which were read the third time and passed.

After the transaction of some further unimportant business, the House adjourned until Monday.

The Lexington Atlas of Tuesday says:

"Col. Richard M. Johnson yesterday declared himself a candidate for Gover nor of Kentucky. He addressed the people at great length, and justifies his treason to the committee ot Louisville on the ground that he was the choice of the Democracy. His feelings seemed to be deeply hurt with tho commiittee, and wo think very iustly, that they should have passed overdone who has grown grey in the service of his country, and nomina ted an unknown stripling. "Mr. Cunningham, of the Gazette, ad dressed the people, seconding the Colo' nel's self-nomination. He became excited, pulled off his eoat, rolled np his sleeves, and declared .in voice of thunder, that the Colonel did kill Tecumseh."

Powell and his makers are utterly repudiated by the Democracy of Northern Kentucky. The Louisville committee must feel exceedingly small—treated with the most sovereign contempt here.

The editor of the Gazette denounced Powell as a descendant of the Powell family of North Carolina, the most infamous tot'jes of the Revolution. Isn't that rich? in his Friday's paner he said he knewhim wall, and seemed delighted with his nomination yesterday he denounced him as an unknown booby, through whose veins flows the foul blood of a traitor sire.

IRELAND,

Meetings without number have been held in mo metropolis and throughout Ireland, to uytnpatnize with the Uftion between Great Britain and Ireland. Ar* raugementa had been made on a grand scale for a monster meeting in Dublin, on the I7ih of March, (St, Patrick's day) but from the immense military preparations made by the Lord Lieutenant, and at the advice of Mr. John O'Connell and the suggestion of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, parochial meetings were substituted in the different waras on that day, at which Repeal petitions were adopted. On the 20th instant, however, a meeting was held bv the Young Ireland party, at the North Wall, Dublin. Strong expros sions of feeling, alike against the Gov ernment of England and in favor of French Republicanism, were expressed thereat. These have met a hearty re sponse throughout the provinces,— Whether, however, from the active and vigorous measures put in requisition by the Lord Lieutenant, or front the indifference of the people to the advice ot the more violent of the Repeal leaders, all the demonstrations passed off quietlv save one or two in the north of Ireland, at which fatal results took place-—one individual being shot at Downpatrick, and another at Ballanahinch.

DUBLIN, March 22.—To-day the city has been in a state of great excitement. At 12 o'clock, Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher and Mitchell, accompanied by a large circle of friends, both of the Young and Old Ireland sections, mov(»i from the Confederation rooms in D'Olier street, to the head office at the Royal Exchange, to give bail for their appearance in compliance with Mr. Porter's notifications. The shouting all along the route was tremendous, and more especially, in front of the old parliament house. By accident a troop of artillery was passing at the same moment with their guns, which appeared to quicken the enthusiasm of the procession. I send you a report of the proceedings at the police office, and the subsequent proceedings in the rooms of the Confederation, where the language used was remarkably violent, far exceeding in violence any previously spoken or written. The course pursued, according to the Mail, which speaks on authority, is attributable to the cabinet, and pot to the Earl of Clarendon, who would suffer much more rather than commit himself to such a struggle.

After the proceedings at the head-office had terminated, the accused returned, and were welcomed in D'Olier street, by an additional crowd, amounting altogether to not less than 10,000 persons, who, undeterred by the heavy rain, cheered and shouted most vehemently. The conduct of the O'Connells, in offering themselves as bail for their adversaries, has covered themselves with popularity.

You must not suppose the Young Ireland party cast down by the calamity which has befallen their leaders. The declaration of one of these orators at the late Manchester meeting, is to be the fu-

ture policy of the remaining chieftains. Should Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell, undergo the full penalty for sedition, three others are resolved to take their places, and utter precisely similar sentiments. Should they too, be cut off, three others of" the fedavee, or Devoted, are ready for the fate of their brethren. And thus it will go on until the whole party is imprisoned or exiled. Then cui bono prosecutions and proscriptions? Such is the prospect held out to the government. I have heard this programme declared by one of themselves. At a meeting of the trades lost night, a "defence fund" was established, and fifty pounds subscribed in a few minutes.

The informations have been forwarded to the Crown office by the magistrates the traversers have applied for copies of those- voluminous documents, which the clerks are now engaged in making out

The crown solicitor has sent retainers on the part of the prosecution, to Mr Jonathan Henn, Q. C., Mr. Whiteside Q. C., and Sir Colman O'Coghlen These gontlemen, with the attorney ant solicitor-general, and probably Mr. Ser geant Wa.rren, and one or two others will be the counsel for the crown.

Yesterdav, all the troops stationed at the custom-ftouse, bank, college, rotun da, four courts, &c., were removed to their respective barracks. The rein forcement of cavalry brought to Dublin last week, retu.ms to quarters this day It is considered that the recent display of military force ht's produced the aesirec effect, and need not be continued.

The 43d Life Infantry, one of the fi nest corps in the se rvice, is to arrive here to-morrow. The*y will be passe( in divisions by special trains to Temple ton.

Diecounts for about a million francs vere made on Monday, and on Tuesdnj* about 1,200, 000. This establishment will render great service to commerce, and has al ready exercised some influence on the restoration of oonfidence. The Bourse yesterday was steady and the prices of the preceding day were tolerably sustained. The preceding metals have arrived in considerable quantities,and gold has fallen from 10 to 5 cent premium. The price of bread has been reduced in Paris,

The Provisional Government was going forward, still sustained by the people. Gen. Cavaignae has leen appointed Minister of War. Causaoiere has

been named Minister of Police, and has issued a decree stating that the steps to be taken for employing workmen in the public workshops, will t# confined to native weitmea* Twenty-five of the principal bankers waited upon the Finance Minister and requested him to postpone the payment of commercial bills for 15 days, but he 'refused. M. Lafitte has made the Treasury^* present of 26,000 francs. The Union states that ML Rothschild called upon the Prefect of Police, to contradict a rumor that he desired to leave Paris and to suspend his

Eeep

aymonts. He meant to remain, and to alt his arrangements with regard to the loan, and to take the largest mea» sure8 for strengthening credit.

He added, that his brothers of Londoa and Frankfort, who accompanied him* had come to Paris with the same Intentions, and to concert with him that no mistake ought to exist with reepact to the disasters which had befallen the money market of Paris and that it wets not the events of February which caused the embarrassments of certain firms, for these embarrassment", had existed for some time.

The minister of Public Works has issued an address to the workingmen, exhorting them to return to their labor.

On Monday about 8,000 or 10,000 "compagnons," as they are called, of all the different trades, went in procession, and wearing their insignia, to the Hotel de Ville, to declare their support of the Government, and their determination to renounce the revolts and quarrels which have for ages existed between the different bodies in every part of France.

lanted in Champs de Mars. M. Ledru spoke the speech, which amounted to this, France repaid Waterloo with freedom to her invaders-—Austria and Prussia, by their struggles for liberty, gave sufficient atonement for Wa^rloo. His speech was in favor of peace with foreign countries.

A project of law, it is said, is in hand to allow the State to buy up all the rail ways from the companies in whose hands they are, giving to shareholders in lieu 5 per cent stock at a given price.

On the 22d ult., bills having been posted by the Belgians and Germans, call ing upon the French to give them arms, and march with them to Belgium and Germany, to establish republics, about 6,000 people assembled at noon, who, however, contented themselves with burning their national flags.

All idea of war with the continental powers is at an end, except as regards Russia. If the Poles rise it will be exceedingly difficult to keep the French people from rushing to their aid. The government will, in all probability, be compelled by the pressure of the multitude to interfere. It will not do so if it can be avoided, but it will not, and cannot resist any general display of sympathy for the Poles. A party of twenty-five Polish emigrants left Paris a few days ago, with the intention of penetrating into Poland, and raising the standard of revolt. Their countrymen in Paris are looking with great anxiety to the result of their exenions.

All the Russians residing in or visiting Paris have received an order to leave the city immediately

A growing jealousy was beginning to be manifested by the departments at the absolute domination over them bv Parisians and it was apprehended that the returns for the elections from the Provinces would tell against the Provisional Government.

About 2,000 of the natives of Savoy, resident,in Paris, went to the Hotel de Ville, and applied to the Provisional Government to be considered as French citizens. M. Lamartine replied to them that after having made that demand collectively, they must make it individually, when the government would hasten to satisfy their laudable desires.

On Saturday afternoon, a body of 1,500 Germans assembled on the Place de la Madeline, from which they went in procession to the Champs Elysses, singing patriotic German songs.

Disturbances of rather a grave character have taken place at Lille, in consequence of a manifestation on the part of the workmen employed in the spinning factories to obtain higher wages, and a reduction in the hours of labor. The next day every thing was perfectly quiet, and nothing seemed to intimate that any further disturbance was likely to take place.

The Provisional Government has published a proclamation, concluding as follows

The Provisional Government has fulfilled its duty. Citizens it is for you to do yours. Organize your candidates without loss oi time. From this day think upon your choice of the National Assembly. Prepare yourselves by the strictest attention for the proper discharge of your rights. Understand how necessary it is that the power of the Provisional Government should be returned to the representatives freely chosen by the people. Prove by your activity that you not only feel your sovereign power, out that you possess intelligence. Manifest that calmness and that union which have given to all your movements so noble a character. Carry, indettd, into your electoral services that concord, of which your manifestations of yesterday has been so striking a symbol.

EXCITING SCENE IN THE SENATE. An exciting, but harmless, incident occurred in the Senate to-day. During the debate tendering congratulations to the French people, and while Mr. Allen was speaking, a person in the gallery, from the rear of the reporter's seats, leaped out upon the platform over the Vice President's chair—some twenty feet above the heads of Senators—and exclaimed: "I object to that man's daring to force his opinions upon us."

The voice of several Senators was heard calling for the Sergeant-at-Arms great sensation was produced in the galleries and those on the floor of the the Senate, apprehensive of personal ihjury to themselves, if the platform upon which the intruder stood, should give way, of which there was imminent danger, were speedy in changingtheh: positions.

The efficient door-keeper of the Reporter's gllefy, (Mr. Hedrick) promptly but cautiously, approached the intruder, ...Vit, Via j»nfif(rniislv exclaimed "I

At this critical juncture, Mr. H., having procured a secure hold of the man, by extraordinary muscular power raised him on high, and threw him back into the gallery. learn that the author of this unexpected excitement, is Gen. Price, a wealthy citizen of Ohio, residing near Cincinnati, and afflicted with occasional hallncination of intellect. His esfrom serious consequences, was^ miraculous. In the hands oi Mr. Hedrick, he was quite docile and, being conducted from the chamber, was ultimately released.—Bait. Clipper.

MAN SHOT BY A WOMAN.—We understand that a man was shot dead on Sunday night last, about a mile from Albany, Ia., by Mrs. Roberts, the wife of Dr. Roberts, a Printer of this city. It appears that Dr. R. was in this city at the time, engaged at his usual business, and that his wife and children only were at his house, situated near New Albany. About 12 o'clock on Sunday night, Mrs. R., was awakened by some person attempting to get into the house. She arose and looked through the window, saw a man at the door. She warned him to leave, hut he went to the side of the house, got on the porch, and attempted to get into the window. Mrs.

R. had in the mean time loaded a gun which was in the room, and laying it on a table, pointed it towards the man, who was standing on the porch, and pulling the trigger, discharged several buck-shot in his breast, killing him instantly. Mrs. R. in the greatest alarm, fled in her night-clothes to a neighbor's house, at some distance, and from thence went to New Albany. A Coroner's inquest was held over the body yesterday, and the above facts elicted. The man had on no coat, hat, vest or shoes, and no person who saw his body yesterday recollected ever to have seen him before. He appeared to be a foreigner—a German we believe. The circumstance is certainly mysterious one.—<Lou. Cour. 11th>. ———————
