ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA

The mail ship Acadia arrived in the river at about 12
o'clock this morning. She brings New York papers to
the 28th ultimo, and Boston to the 29th ; the news in the
latter is unimportant.
The session of the Thirtieth Congress will begin on
Monday. the 4th December.
The most important of the measures for the considera-
tion of Congress, is the establishment of territorial juris-
diction over the newly acquired territory of New Mexico
and California. And another important subject is await-
ing legislative action—the foreign and domestic postage
system. According to present appearances (says the
New York Herald), the obstacles placed in the way of a
free postal intercommunication with England by the pas-
sage of the retaliatory postage law, are in a fair way of
being adjusted by negociation between the English minis-
try and the American minister.
Doubts are entertained as to whether General Taylor
has yet made up his mind on the particular measures and
policy of his administration. One thing, however, is
highly probable—that both moderate men and moderate
measures will be in the ascendant, and that the mere par-
tisans of any faction will have little influence in that

quarter.
An effort is about to be made to grow tea in the States
of Georgia and Alabama.
It is said that Forrest has lowered himself much in the
public estimation by the course which he has pursued in
his quarrel with Macready.
A gold mine is said to have been discovered close to the
sea coast at Salt Key, or Creag, belonging to Capt. Shep-
pard, Governor of San Juan.
The previous reports of the gold mines of California
are confirmed.
HAYTI AGAIN IN TROUBLE.—The President of this
unsettled country has issued a proclamation informing the
people of Hayti that it is his intention to send an army
against the Spanish part of the island, for the purpose of
subjecting it to his rule, and on the 13th ult. an expedi-
tion was fitting out to proceed at once to the southward.
