occupied chiefly with the discussion of the President's
message with regard to the Mexican war. The debates
were extremely sharp. The duty recommended upon tea
and coffee would not be imposed it was believed. It is
satisfactory to announce that the shipments of corn and
sour to England are in no way slackening. A large num-
ber of vessels were still loading at New York, for Liver-
pool and London ; at New Orleans, too, there was great
activity, and freights rule enormously high, so much so as
to make shipowning "fortune making," as the Yankees
say. ,

Late accounts received from the armies of the left and
centre had been received. We take from the papers the
following :—Gen eral Taylor has returned from Saltillo,
which was all in the quiet possession of the troops under
General Worth. No demonstration had been made against
him, though at a distance of only thirty miles the scouts

of General Worth had discovered' about."3,ooo(
to have been sent from Potosi

General Wool ha; been

ordered by General Taylor to occupy the town of Parras.
The inhabitants made no opposition to General Wool, but
were prepared to receive him peaceably. His troops are
enjoying excellent health, and are in the highest state of
discipline. It was understood that General Taylor would
occupy all the ports and towns upon the line of operations
to Tampico. He would himself shortly take up the line
of march upon Victoria, where rumour says Santa Anna
has 10,000 choice troops.
General Taylor was to move, in columns, on the Bth,
9th, and 10th instant, for Victoria, with about 1,500 men.
Victoria is equi-distant from Monterey and Tampico, and
it was supposed that General Taylor would make that
place his head quarters.
No further demonstration would be made towards San
Luis Potosi until further orders from our Government.
General Taylor had imprisoned the Alcalde of Monterey
and his son, and served rallente hombres for furnishing
money and horses to deserters from the American army.
General Wool was at Barras, 100 miles north of Chi-
huahua, with 1000 men. General Worth was at Saltillo,
and will shortly have under his command 2000 men. Co-
lonel Riley was at Monte Moreles with about 1000 men.
-General Pillow was to move to Victoria on the 13th.
Santa Anna has sent out a detachment of 2000 men to
destroy the wa
