with Mexico; at the close of which they are discharged,

California, on which they are bound to settle. This
movement of the administration is said to meet the ap-
probation of all interests ; and its popularity among the

class of men required, is evident from the fact that a
large number, even betore the preliminary arrangements
ate made, have signified their desire to join this political

It is stated that the U. S. ship of the line of Pennsyl-
vania, 120 guns, and the North Carolina and Ohio, rated
as 74's, but each carrying 100 guns, are ordered to be
fitted immediately for sea; but what is to be their desti-

President's intentions towards Europe, of course, we do
not listen to.

Gen. Taylor is expected to be-on his march to Mon-
terey, at the bead of an army of 12,000 men, and is said
will meet with no resiatance until he arrives at the gates
of Mexico.

Col. Kearney is pushing for Santa Fe, which is being
strongly fortified by the Mexicans. The force concen-
trated there will number 8,000 to 10,000 men, under the
command of Gen. Wood, who, after overrunning New
Mexico, will join his forces with those under Gen. Taylor,
and march for the capital. Nothing, the Americans
think, can save Mexico.
The Ratification, by America, of the Oregon treaty ap-
pears to have given great satisfaction. The new tariff is
in a very doubtful position. It is said, however. that no
material alteration will take place in the present year,

rica. _

The Mormons, preparing to depart from Nauvoo for
more western settlements, are threatened with attack, for
which it is said they have prepared themselves, rather

A new bill was presented to the House of Representa-
tives by Mr. Campbell on the 17th ultimo, for the revi-
sion of the consular system of the United States. The
system of compensation by fees is discouraged, though
not absolutely ab lished by this bill, being henceforth to
be levied on vessels, according to their size, instead of
upon each invoice.
A fixed tariff of fees is to be fixed for vessels ' • and the
bill provides fixed salaries, in accordance with the duties
of each consul. The consuls atiLiverpool and London
are to receive four thousand dollars; at Halite, three
thousand ; and so on, down to fifteen hundred dollars,
which is the lowest salary paid in any instance. The
same section which provides for the salaries of consuls,

also requires that no consul shall engage, directly or indi-
rectly, in commercial or mercantile pursuits, under a
penalty of two thousand dollars.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth sections of the bill require
that a consul shall not be permitted to absent himself
frnm his consulate Inner than thirty elnue

months, without having obtained permiss'on fiona the
government FO to do, and that even then his leave of ab-
sence is not to extend beyond ninety days, and that dur-
ing that time his salary shill be discontinued. The con-
sul is required to execute a bond for the faithful perform-
ance of nts duties, and is required to correspond regularly
with the department of State once in
.thiee months, and
more frequently if occasion requi, es.
