The officers commanding these ves sels had been particularly instructed by me to allow no strangers, or other than Americans, to remain on board—no one but their crews, engineers, and fire men. As these were all strangers, the officer in com mand could not distinguish between them and other strange persons on board, and did not know that he was on board until he saw him wounded. Imme diately on my arrival here I sent him in a cot to the castle, where he now is. This officer, Lieut. Bryson, is not to blame.

After several hours, and after communicating with the Spanish vessels of war at Sacrificios, which sent out a boat to them, they stood down the coast in the direction of Anton Lizardo. You directed me immediately to place my ship in tow of the small American steamers here, the Wave and Indianola, which were placed at your disposal, to follow them and to ascertain their character, where they were from, of what nation, where they fitted out, and what was their object upon this coast, and to report to you the result of these inquiries with all practicable despatch. In obedience to these orders, I left here about sunset in tow of those ves sels, on board of each of which I placed a detach ment of about 35 men and marines, in case they might go into shoal water, where my ship, with her large draught, could not follow and communicate with them. • The detachment on board the Wave was commanded by Lieut. Joel R. S. Kennard, of the Savannah, accompanied by Midshipman Wm. Whittle, jun., of the Preble. That of the Indianola was commanded by Lieut. Andrew Bryson, of the corvette Preble, accompanied by Master J. N. Miller, of the same vessel, Lieut. Andrew I. Hays, of the Marine Guard of the Savannah, and Lieut. Julius E. Moire, of the Marine Guard of the ship. I proceeded down the coast, making direct for Anton Lizardo, 15 miles distant, where I expected to find them. About midnight two large vessels were reported at anchor at Anton Lizardo. I stood directly for them, and had directed my pilot to anchor me immediately between the two ves sels. At the moment when I had nearly reached this point and the tow was cast off, both the _ _ little steamers being ahead of me, they hailed, and reported that the larger steamer of the two was under way and endeavouring to escape through the southern passage. I hailed and ordered them to pur sue her and to get on board, if possible, as I was ordered to communicate with the senior o fficer, who I supposed was on board this vessel. At the same moment I fired a shot ahead of her to bring her to. As soon as they got close to her, which took but a few moments, to my extreme astonishment, she opened a heavy fire of great guns and musketry upon them, and it was reported to me at the same time that the other steamer was slipping her cable. I immediately gave her a broadside, as I had not the remotest doubt of her being in complicity with and under the orders of the officer of the other steamer; and I was afraid she would go to his assistance, in which case I should have been obliged to recall my vessels, or to witness their capture or destruction ; • and as she had the audacity to fire into me without any provocation whatever I was determined to seize her if I could. They ran up the Spanish flog its soon as I tired. In the meantime the larger steamer was hotly engaged with the forces on board my two little steamers in a running fight. Finding she could not get out of the southern pass age, she immediately changed her course, put her head to the northward, and passed inside of me to gain the northern passage, and to keep out of the way of my guns, followed by my vessels, warmly engaged with her all the time. She was evidently too fast for and was gaining upon them. As she shot ahead of them, I got a gun to bear upon her, and shot away her smoke stack. I found now that it was impossible to fire without danger to my ves sels, as they were all together. The chase was con tinued in the midst of a hot fire on either side. I could not but admire, atithis moment, the daring gallantry of these fine fellows contending with so superior a force. They closed in upon and grap pled with her in spite of her efforts to shake them off. Finding it impossible •to escape, I suppose they ran the vessel on shore ; at all events, pressed closely by them, she grounded, which I was not aware of at the time. They were then dis tant about a mile from my ship, and my anxiety was intense for their safety. I could afford them no possible aid. My three largest cutters were inboard, and before I could have manned my boats and got to them the affair would have been ended. I was not, however, kept long in suspense, for almost im mediately I heard three cheers, and was informed that they were boarding her over the bows, which could be distinctly seen by our glasses. " I now return to the steamer anchored close to me. While the engagement continued between the other vessels, and at the moment that they were passing this ship, the first lieutenant, who was on the poop, called to me to say that this steamer was firing musketry. I directed again a division of guns to be given her, which was done, I then hailed and ordered the commander on board, saying if he did not instantly come on board I would send a guard to bring him. He came on board, and informed me, in answer to my inquiries, that his ship was the Marquis of Havana; that he had been employed by Captain Marin, who commanded the other ship, to transport stores and munitions Of war, and that he was Spanish. _ _ _ " In. the meantime I had sent an officer to bring Captain Marin on board. As soon as he had reached my cabin I asked him how he had dared to fire upon my vessels. He replied unhesitatingly, and in presence of a witness, that when he observed my vessels steaming into the harbour he had informed his crew that ho was sure they were American ves sels of war, and positively forbade them to fire, but that it was it mixed crew of various Limit..., ha,;og been but recently taken on board, and not being yet properly disciplined he found it impossible to con trol them. I observed to him that it was a great outrage for which he would have to answer, and which he pretended most deeply to regret. All of which I knew to be untrue, because during the ac tion he was distinctly heard calling on his men to board with him. You will perceive how all,this con flicts with the accompanying depositions of four of his crew. It only remains for me to speak of the force and armament of these vessels, as far as I have been able to ascertain. The larger steamer, called the General Miramon, carried two broad sides, one pivot, and several howitzers, with a crew of 100 men. I am not positive as to the calibre of her guns. Supposing that she would follow me yesterday, I expected to have been able to give a more minute account of her, but still she is aground. The Marquis of Havana carries also one pivot and two broadside guns, with about 70 persons on board. Her pivot gun is a heavy 24-pounder. The captain of this last vessel threw overboard large quantities of ammunition, much of which was picked up float ing in the harbour by my boats, in chests and kegs. When she was taken possession of her guns were all dismantled, and were lying upon the deck by the side of the carriages, wh:ch I have no doubt was done after the captain found she was captured, and before I could get a boat on board of her. He assumes her to be an unarmed vessel; and her papers of clearance, which I herewith enclose, made out at Havannah, do not speak of her having any guns on board. Yet her armament is such as I have reported it, and there is not a doubt that the vessel was equipped at Havannah as a part of the force with which Capt. Marin was to act on this coast. " It now becomes my painful duty to speak of a circumstance which has occasioned me the deepest concern and regret. About two hours after the engagement a boat came alongside from the In dianoa with a person very badly wounded, dressed in citizen's dress. Upon inquiry I was informed it was General Lave, of the Mexican army. Imme diately I had him taken to my cabin. It seems by his own account, as he related it to me, that as I I was about leaving Vera Cruz he was sent off to the " On our part, I am glad to be able to report to you the small loss our vessel sustained in this en gagement. I have but one man mortally wounded, who is still alive; one seriously, and several slightly. This is the more remarkable, as the engagement lasted from a half to three-quarters of an hour, and the firing was incessant during that time. But it must be remembered that it was at night. On the part of these people the loss was much more severe. Twelve were brought on board my ship severely wounded, three of whom have died. I have sent all the others to the hospital on shore. The wounds in almost every case being by Minie rifle bullets are very severe. I should have remained at Anton Lizardo until the General Miramon was got afloat, but the doctor requested me to come up at once with the wounded, whom he said it was impossible to move in any other vessel. " I cannot close this despatch, sir, without ex pressing my extreme satisfaction with the conduct of all the officers and men of the expedition. My own officers and men, who unfortunately had but a small share in the engagement, by their alacrity, activity, and promptitude to obey and execute or ders, taught me to feel with what confidence I could depend upon them if my ship should at any time be called on to defend the honour of our flag. I have already spoken of the conduct of our officers and men on board the Indianola and the Wave. On their part it was a brilliant affair. I have omitted to state that the vessel of Captain Marin, called the General Miramon, did not hoist her co lours at any time before, during, or after the en gagement, and that it was a brilliant moonlight night, when he could have most easily satisfied himself that the Saratoga could not possibly have been a vessel belonging to any Mexican power or party. I have also omitted to state that the clearance papers of the Marquis of Havana certify to only 33 persons on board ; whereas I am informed by the officer now in charge of her, that after 30 of them had been removed to our ship there remained at least 40 on board of her. As this ship was sent immediately back to assist in floating the General Miramon I have been unable to make an accurate report of the number of persons on board. About the time the General Miramon was taken a boat escaped from her to the shore, said to contain officers of Gen. Miramon's army. ....__ .... _ . _ " The statement which I have herein submitted to you of all the important details of this affair will be testified to by every officer of the expedition.-- I have the honour to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, T. TURNER. ___ " P.S.—As every effort will be made by the parties who have been suffered to misrepresent the facts of this affair, I have desired to be as accurate in my statement as possible. I have said that the General Miramonhadloo men on board. I removed from her 50 men before leaving Anton Lizardo, who are now on board my ship. But it is possible that I shall never know what number of men she had on board, as some escaped in a boat to the shore just before she was boarded. There may have been more there may have been less, than 100 on board. I have said that the pivot gun of the Marquis of Havana was a 24-pounder; it may have been a 32. I do not wish to overrate or underrate the armament of these vessels. On my arrival here from Anton Lizardo my ship unfortunately grounded in the bay, and I was all day endeavouring to get her off. I had no time to give my attention to anything else. That vessel left the next morninr , at daylight, since which by a gale of wind from the north, I have been cut off from both vessels. J herewith inclose depositions of the first-lieutenant, of the purser, of the orderly sergeant, and of the marine guard of the ship, who were all in the poop during the action,asto the fact that the Marquis of Havana fired musketry during the engagement; and also the certificate of Reuben Applegate to a conversation with the engineer of the Marquis of Havana, whom died of his wounds. I find, in the haste with which I have written this communication that I have committed the mi s t a k e of saying that I had placed 35 men on board the Wave; that vessel had on board only 19 men." "FROM CAPT. JARVIS TO COMMODORE TURNER. " United States' ship Savannah, off Vera Cruz, Mexico, March 11. " Sir,—l had the honour of forwarding a com munication to you on the 3d inst., by the English mail steamer, in which I stated that the English Government was trying to effect an armistice be tween the contending parties in Mexico. Since then I have been informed that Miramon has made proposals which have been rejected as inadmissable by this Government. I have not been able to as certain if they have made any counter-proposition. On the 3d inst. General Miramon having arrived at Madeline, I sent Commander Turner, with the permission of this Government, to communicate with him, and I herewith enclose Commander Turner's report to me. O n th e 4th inst. this Government withdrew the exequatur from Mr. B. B. I. Twyman, American Consul, for good and substantial reasons, they say. The whole of the facts, I presume, will be reported to the State Department by the Legation here. At the request of th e S ecre t ar y o f Legation, I have given Lieut. Moire, of the Marine Corps, permission to accept, for th e ti me b e i ng , o f an ap pointment from him of Vice-Consul, which, I trust, will meet your approbation. " On the 6th inst. two vessels, apparently of war, appeared at anchor off Antigua —a small place about 14 miles to the northward of this, without any colours flying. After lying there some time they got under way, and proceeded to the southward and eastward. They paid no attention to the flags on board of the men-of-war, nor to the castle, from which a gun was fired, to call their attention to the fact. They treated all with contempt, and proceeded to Anton Lizardo, where they came to anchor. Under these circumstances I felt it my duty to as certain who I‘ S ' t h a n te t s i ' le s y hi w p e S og re a ' ra a t nd a Commandertl ilr sent the r, upon that duty. As the wind w a s directly ahead, I ere e Tun r e availed myself of the offer of two small steamers to take her in tow. For further particulars of the un fortunate occurrence that took place afterwards I must refer you to Comma n d er T urne r's repo r t. I do not see how it was possible for Commander Tur ner to do otherwise than he did; and I think that he and the other officers deserve great credit for their promptness in defending their flag. " I shall send the two steamers to New Orleans as soon as possible, and I have ordered Commander Jenkins, or th. Prehle, Vzhnwill accompany them with the prisoners, after delivering the Amu.... 4.. the United States' Marshal, to take the prize crews on board his vessels, and proceed to Pensacola for provisions. I have been under the necessity of employing a part of the engineers, firemen, &c., belonging to the two steamers, to carry them to New Orleans, and I have directed Commander Jen kins to pay them for the time they may be employed at the same rate as is paid for their grade in the navy of the United States. " This place is at the present time closely be sieged. On the night of the 6th inst. they attempted to carry it by storm, but were beaten off, and from present appearances I think the same result will occur should they again attempt it. From all I can learn they have as many troops in the city as the besieging party.—l am, sir, very respectfully, your obeaient servant, " JOSEPH R. JARVIS, Captain. " To Hon. Isaac Toucey, Secretary of the Navy.' " Saratogo, off Vera Cruz, Sunday, March 4. " Captain Joseph R. Jarvis, Commanding United States' Ship Savannah, " Sir,—l have the honour to inform yon that, in obedience to your instructions, I proceeded yester day to the head-quarters of General Miramon, at the town of Medeline, about four leagues distant. Immediately on my arrival I despatched a messen ger to him to announce my presence in the town, and to say, That having in charge a communica tion from yourself, I should be glad to know at what hour he would be pleased to receive me.' I was informed in reply that he would see me at once. Without loss of time I repaired to his lodgings, where I was received by him, accom panied by General Robles and Mr. Dias, his Minister of Justice. I informed him that I had been instructed to say to him that having been sent to this coast for the exclusive purpose of af fording protection to the persons and property of American citizens, as the senior officer present, you had felt yourself bound at the earliest moment of his appearance before Vera Crux to ascertain from him distinctly what were his intentions in re spect to the persons and property of American citi zens in that city, in the event of his taking it. "He replied without hesitation that, as in the case of all foreigners, he should respect them and it, and should afford to both American citizens and their property all the protection which it was in his power to give. " I then said, Having received this assurance, sir, I am further instructed by Capt. Jarvis to say, that in your at tack upon the city, in the event of your gaining possession of it, he will cause to be hoisted at the flag-staff of each house covering Ameri can citizens and property the flag of the United States, in order that, as far as it is possible, they and it may be preserved from danger and da mage by bombardment, and to insure to the occu pants of those residences that respect on the part your troops, with which you haveyourself expressed your determination to regard them.' " He replied that he concurred in the wisdom and necessity of such an arrangement, should bear it in mind, and hoped that it would be effectual in preserving them from harm and injury. " I remarked, in conclusion, that I was happy to take back such a reply, which could not fail to be satisfactory to my commanding officer, and thus ended the official part of my intercourse, In his deportment towards me General Miramon was grave and reserved, but respectful and courteous. On the other hand, General Robles received and treated me with the greatest cordiality and kindness during my entire interview. On leaving, I said to him that I desired to remain in the town until the cool of the evening for my re turn, and that I had several communications from persons in Vera Cruz to members of their families, who had taken refuge in Medeline, which I should like to deliver. He replied, Go where you please, stay as long as you like, and deliver what you have to whomsoever you like,' with which I took leave of him. " I have the honour to be, sir, " Very respectfully, your obedient servant, " T. TURNER, Commander. "To Hon. Isaac Toucey, Secretary of the Navy." But little business of interest was done in the Senate on the 26th. A joint resolution, offered by Mr. Green, that Congress adjourn from the 20th of April to May 21, was taken up, and after a short debate was rejected by a vote of 12 to 19. The Bill, supplementary to the Act to protect citizens who may discover deposits of guano, was amended, and passed. So was the bill to prevent desertions and facilitate enlistments in the United States' army. Mr. Grow, having lost all hope of the house taking any action on the Pacific Railroad Bill, gave notice that he should call up that measure on the following Thursday. In the house a message was received from the President, protesting against the proposed investigation of his official acts. After an exciting debate it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, with power to report at any time. Subjoined is a copy of the President's message : "To the House of Representatives,— "After a delay which has afforded me ample time for reflection, and after much and careful deliberation, I find myself constrained by an im perious sense of duty, es a co ordinate branch of the Federal Government, to protest against the first two clauses of the first resolution adopted by the House of Representatives on the sth inst., and pub lished in the Congressional Globe on the succeed ing day. These clauses are in the following words : " Resolved,—That a committee of five members be appointed by the Speaker for the purpose, first, of investigating whether the President of the United States or any officer of the Government has, by money, patronage, or other improper means, sought to influence the passage of any law apper taining to the rights of any State or territory ; and second, also to inquire into and investigate whether any officer or officers of the Government have, by combination or otherwise, prevented or defeated, or attempted to prevent or defeat, the execution of any law or laws now upon the statute-book, and whether the President has failed or refused to com pel the execution of any law thereof.' "I confine myself exclusively to these two branches of the resolution, because the portions of it which follow relate to alleged abuses in the Post office, Navy-yards, public buildings, and other public works of the United States. In such cases inquiries are highly proper in themselves, and belong equally to the Senate and House, as incident to their legislative duties, and being necessary to enable them to discover and provide appropriate legislative remedies-. for any abuse which may be ascertained. Although the terms of the latter portion of the resolution are extremely vague and general, yet my sole purpose in adverting to them at present is to make the broad line of distinction between the accusatory and the remedial clauses of this resolution. The House of Representatives possesses no power under the Constitution over the first or acquisatory portion of the resolution, ex cept as an impeaching body, while over the last, in common with the Senate, their authority as a le gislative body is fully and cheerfully admitted. " It is solely in reference to the first or impeach ing power that I presume to make a few observa tions. Except in this single case, the Constitution has invested the House of Representatives with no power, no jurisdiction, no supremacy whatever over the President. In all other respects he is quite as independent of them as they are of him. As a co ordinate branch of the Government he is their equal. Indeed, he is the only direct representative on earth of the people of all and each of the sove reign States. To them, and them alone, is he re sponsible, while acting within the sphere of his constitutional duty, and not in any manner to the House of Representatives. " The people have thought proper to invest him with the most honourable, responsible, and digni fied office in the world, and the individual, however unworthy, now holding this exalted position will take care, so far as in him lies, that their rights and prerogatives shall never be violated in his person, but shall pass to his successors unimpaired by the adoption of a dangerous precedent. He will defend them to the last extremity against any unconstitu tional attempt, come from what quarter it may, to abridge the constitutional rights of the Executive, and render him subservient to any human power except themselves, " The people have not confined the President to exercise the Executive duties. They have also con ferred upon him a large measure of legislative dis cretion. No bill can become a law without his ap proval, as representing the people of the United. States, unless it shall pass after his veto by a ma jority of two-thirds of both houses. In his legisla tive capacity he might, in common with the Senate and the house, institute inquiry to ascertain any facts which ought to influence his judgment in ay. proving or vetoing any bill. This participating in the performance of legislative duties between co ordinate branches of the Government ought to in spire the conduct of all of them in their relation toward each other with mutual forbearance and re spect ; at least, each has a right to demand justice ur iL. o+h.r. The cause of complaint is that the constitutional rights ana imineeia.,. of +Lo Execu tive have been violated in:the person of the Presi dent. The trial of an impeachment of the Presi dent before the Senate, on charges preferred and prosecuted against him by the House of Represen tatives, would be an imposing spectacle for the world. In the result, not only tale removal from the Presidential office would be involvwl, but, what is of infinitely greater importance to himself, his character both in the eyes of the present and tut ere generations might possibly be tarnished. The disgrace cast upon him would in some degree be reflected upon the character of the American people who elected him. Hence the precau tions adopted by the Constitution to secure a fair trial. On such a trial it declares that the Chief Justice shall preside. This was doubtless be cause the framers of the Constitution believed it to be possible that the Vice-President might be biassed by the fact that, in case of the removal of the President from office, the same shall devolve on the Vice-President. The preliminary proceedings in the house in case of charges which may involve impeachment have been well and wisely settled by long practice up)n principles of equal justice both to the accused and to the people. " The precedent established in the case of Judge Peck, of Missouri, in 1831, after a careful review of all the former precedents, will, I venture to predict, stand the test of time. In that case Luke Edward Lawless, the accuser, presented a petition to the house in which he set forth minutely and specifically his causes of complaint. He prayed that the con duct and proceedings in this behalf of the said Judge Peck may . be inquired into by your hon. body, and such decision made thereon as to your wisdom and justice shall seem proper. • " This petition was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Such has ever been deemed the ap propriate committee to make a similar investiga tion. It is a standing committee, supposed to be appointed without reference to any special case, and at all times is presumed to be composed of the most eminent lawyers in the house from different portico; of the country, whose acquaintance with judicial proceedings and whose habits of investigation qua lify them peculiarly for the task. No tribunal, from their position and character, could in the nature of things be more impartial. In the case of Judge Peck the witnesses were selected by the committee itself, with a view to ascertain the truth of the charge. They. were cross examined by him, and everything was conducted in such a manner as to afford him no reasonable cause of complaint. " In view of this precedent, and, what is of far greater importance, in view of the constitution and principles of eternal justice, in what manner has the President of the United States been treated by the House of Representatives? Mr. John Covode, a representative from Pennsylvania, is the accuser of the President. Instead of following the wise pre cedent of former times, and especially that in the case of Judge Peck, and referring the accusation to the Committee on Judiciary, the House have made my accuser one ofmy judges. " To make the accuser the judge is a violation of the principles of universal justice, and is condemned by the practiceof all civilised nations. Every free man must revolt at such a spectacle. I am to appear before Mr. Cosode, either personally or by a substi tute, to cross-examine the witnesses which he may produce before himself to sustain his own accusa tions against me, and perhaps even this poor boon may be denied to the President. And what is the nature of the investigation which his resolution proposes to institute ? It is as vague and general as the English language affords words in which to make it. The committee is to inquire, not into any specific charge or charges, but whether the Presi dent has, by money, patronage, or other improper means, sought to influence,' not the action of any in dividual member or members of Congress,,but the action of the entire body of, Onugress it any committee thereof. The President Might Aveluid some glimmering of the nature of the offences to be investigated had .his accuser pointed to the act or acts of Congress which he sought to pass or to de feat by . the employment of money, patronage, or other improper means.' But the accusation is bounded by no such limits ; it extends to the whole circle of legislation, to interference ' for or against the passage of any law appertaining to the rights of any State or territory.' And what law does not appertain to the rights of some State or territory ? And what law or laws has the President failed to execute ? These might easily have been pointed out had any such existed. " Had Mr. Lawless asked an inquiry to be made by the House whether Judge Peck, in general terms, had not violated his judicial duties, without specifi cation of any particular act, I do not believe there would have been a single vote in that body in favour of the inquiry. Since the.time of the Star Chamber and of general warrants there has been no such pro ceeding in England. The House of Representatives, the high impeaching power of the country, without consenting to hear a word of explanation, have endorsed this accusation against the President, and made it their own act. They even refuse to permit a member to inquire of the President's accuser what were the special charges against him. Thus, in this preliminary accusation of ' high crimes and mis demeanours' against a co-ordinate branch of the Government under the impeaching power, the house refused to hear a single suggestion even in regard to the correct mode of proceeding ; but, without a moment's delay, passed accusatory resolutions under the pressure of the previous question. In the in stitution of a prosecution for any offence' against the most humble citizen—and I claim for myself no greater rights than he enjoys—the Constitution of the United States and of the several States require that he shall be informed, in the very beginning, of the nature and cause of the accusation against him, in order to enable him to prepare for his defence. There are other principles which I might enumerate, not less sacred, presenting an impenetrable shield to protect every citizen falsely charged with a criminal offence. These have been violated in tke Representa tives the prosecution t i n t s h t e i t E u t x e e d e u b t y i v t e h e b r H a n o c u h s e o f f Govern ment. Shall the President alone be deprived of the protection of these great principles which prevail in every land where a ray of liberty penetrates the gloom of despotism ? Shall the Executive alone be deprived of the rights which all his fellow-citizens njoy ? The whole proceeding against him justifies the fears of those wise and great men who, before the Constitution was adopted by the States, appre hended that the tendency of the Government was to the aggrandisement of the legislative at the expense of the Executive and Judicial Depart ments. " I again declare emphatically that I make this protcatfor no reason personal to myself, and I do it with perfect respect for the House of Representa tives, in which I had the honour of serving for lye successive terms. I have lived long in this goodly land, and have enjoyed all the offices and honours which my country could bestow. Amid all thepoli tical storms through Which I have passed, the pre sent is the first attempt which has ever been made, to my knowledge, to assail my personal or political integrity; and this has been done as the time is approaching when I shall voluntarily retire from the service of my country. I feel proudly conscious that there is no public act of my life which will not bear the strictest scrutiny. I defy all investigation. Nothing but the basest perjury can sully my good name. Ido not fear even this, because I cherish an humble confidence that the gracious Being who has hitherto defended and protected me against the shafts of falsehood and malice will not desert me now when I have become ' old and gray-headed.' I can declare before God and my country that no human being, with an exception scarcely worthy of notice, has at any period of my life dared to ap proach me with a corrupt or dishonourable proposi tion ; and, until recent developments, it had never entered into my imagination that any person, even is the storm of exasperated political excitement, would charge me, in the most remote degree, with having made such a proposition to any human being. I may now, however, exclaim, in the language of complaint employed by my first and greatest predecessor, that I have been abused in such exaggerated and indecent terms as could scarcely be applied to a Nero, to a notorious de faulter, or even to a common pickpocket.' " I do, therefore, for the reasons stated, and in the name of the people of the several States, solemnly protest against these proceedings of the House of Representatives; because they are in violation of the rights of a co-ordinate Executive branch of the Go vernment, and subversive of its constitutional inde pendence; becausethey are calculated to foster a band of interested parasites and informers, ever ready for their own advantage to swear before ex pante com mittees to pretended private conversations between the President and themselves, incapable, from their nature, of being disproved, thus furnishing ma terial for harassing him, degrading him in the eyes of the country, and eventually, should be be a weak or timid man, rendering him subservient to improper influences in orde e r ea t u o se aN t - h oi e d y s t u en eh d. persecutions and annoyances ; b to destroy that harmonious action for the com mon good which ought to be mai n t a i ne d , and whi c h I sincerely desire to cherish between the co-ordi nate branches of the Government ; and finally, be cause, if aifnugnerroeusisstaendd, theyembarwrasousing ldes t t o ab a l l i l sh my a precesucces sors, to whatever political party they might be att , i , tc l h v e a d s . hington, March 28‘ JAMES BUC .‘"H ANAN.

Hostility to it is daily growing more bitter, so ruinous is it to the interests of Western New York, Mr. Hatch's report will not only be strongly condemnatory of the troaty, but will urge that it be abrogated at the earliest possible day.

"' Sir,—With a view to afford the protection due to our citizens at Vera Cruz, the President has directed the Hon. R. M'Lane, should a hostile force approach that place, and he should consider the American citizens there in danger from its opera tions, to request the commanding •flicer of the United States vessels of war on that coast to land such forces as may be needed and can be spared from indispensable duties, and to employ them for the protection of our citizens whose persons or pro perty he may believe to be in danger. Should Mr. M'Lane therefore make of you, as senior command ing officer, the request which his instructions au thorises him to do, you will promptly comply with it. Statements having been made which lead to the belief that arrangements are making by what is known as the Miramon Government of Mexico to establish a blockade at Vera Cruz •and other ports on the Gulf of Mexico, the President has decided that no such blockade will be recognised by the United States. You are therefore directed to em ploy the naval force under your command to afford American vessels free ingress and egress at all Mexican ports, and fully to protect them.' " The same orders were sent to Capt. Farra gut, commanding the Brooklyn, and Commanders Tur ner, Jenkins, and Hazard, respectively commanding the Saratoga, Preble, and Pocahontas. " In communicating the documents relative to the course of Captains Jarvis and Turner, in the seizure of .the Miramon steamers, the Secretary adds : " Upon the facts stated in these official reports the Department approves the conduct of both those gallant officers and the officers and men under their command."

His body was conveyed to the Penrith Union Workhous e 'lt appears il at the murdered ma n h a d b een i n Pe ' Penrith for a day or two previous to his death, and that he had lodged at a common lodging-house, kept by a person named. Swales, above th e Old B rewery. O n t h e n i g ht pre vious to his death he left Swales's house, and took lodgings at another lodging-house at the Townhead, kept by a person named Horsley. About six o'clock he went into the Grey Bull Inn, kept by Mr. Thomas Hyslop, where he had some ale. After staying some time there, he went out. He told Mr. Hyslop he was a gardener.
