government to give it a further consideration.
After a few words from Mr. Buten O'Batits, which

' Mr. HUME said he could not understand the grounds
loon which the government objected to the introduction of '
the clause, because be was convinced its adoption would
leave the application of much of the public money to the
gice of improvement of property in Ireland.
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated
hi former statement that the government thought it desir-
able to confine the present bill to the object with which it
prised to deal. He was not disposed to go so far in the
presewt bill as was proposed by the clause of the noble lord,

The kind feeling towards Ireland, and the disposition to
contribute liberally to the relief of her fsm;shion population,
I rejoice to say, is s;ireading rapidly, both here and generally
throughout the union. Money and provisions have already
been forwarded, and more will shortly follow.

To.day the news arrived by extraordinary messenger (int.
prem)—by the bye, there extraordinaries have cost the sum
of 92,000 dollars during the last six months—that General
Scott had reached Tampico with 5,000 men, end that General
Taylor wan also daily expected there at the head of 7,000

concert with Santa Anna, who will in due time conclude •
peace with them on their own terms. He is quite capable
of such an act, and the Mexicans deserve no better, since
they were fools enough to recal such • man. If the Ameri-
eons should keep possession of Tampion, Matamoru, and
other seaports at present in their hands, commerce in Mexico
will assume a very different aspect from what it has hitherto
done; for there can be no doubt theta very extensive system
of smuggling will be carried on from the coast into the in-
terior, and honest fair-dealing merchants will have to with-
draw their capital from its present channel, of course to the
peat detriment of the eosustry, or the heavy duties at prevent
imposed must be abolished. Already goods have appeared
here, in this very city of Mexico, carried by land all the way
from the states, which are sold cheaper than we can
sell similar goods on which we have paid the duty. If this
is the rase now, when the goods have to be carried through
disturbed districts, and two contending armies, what will it
be when all these obeselye shall be removed? I believe
that a number of mercantile bounce here, connected with
English, German, or French houses, will soon wind up their
affaus and shut up their houses.
