FROM TER.4 CRUZ.

BY the arrival of the schie George
Washington, from Vera Cruz, we have
Mexican advices to the 28th ult. (Which
are translating.) Emperour Iturbide,
having determined on capturing the cas-
tie of ST. John, had marched his army as
far towards Vera Cruz as Xalapas, about
GO miles distant, when his advance was
arrested by republican army under
Generals Topaz and Guadalupe Victo-
ria. Some small affairs had taken place
between them, but no considerable bat
tie; and several hundred OF The imperial
troops had passed over and joined the
counter-reyelutionists. The republican
chiefs addressed letter to Iturbide, as
surfing him they had no hostile views a.
gainst his person, but against his meas
ures-they tell him he has mistaken The
will of the Mexican nation, who will not
be ruled by despot, but are determined
to be governed by fixed laws. Ii be will
throw off his crown, and become again a
private citizen, they will not only respect
him, but pledge themselves to protect
him in life and liberty Bnt there must
be no throne in Mexico, and they have

ton into effect, sc.

Vermont Journal furnishes well-told
tale OF the ylilanies Of a fellow calling

replenish them. Lore was the most

marriage were made to more than one
respectable young lady in the place,
without having any previous acquaint-

CONGRESS-.

We find no difficulty in again dsposing Of
the Congressional news in single paragraph.
The Senate has been engaged in Executive
business, and in the discussion of various bills
involving no question of general interest
In the House, nothing has been done with the
Bill for increasing The duties on certain i'm
ports, since the vote by which the House re-
fused to strike out its enacting clause. It
seems to be understood that no attempt win
be made to settle the details of the bill during
the short period that remains of the present
session. A motion was, indeed, made by some
oil It's most Jealous advocates, to discharge the
committee of the whole from the further con-
slaeratlon of the Bill, with view to get II
directly before the House, and thus to accel-
crate its passage. This motion was opposed
both by the opposers of the bill and by MANY
OF its supporters, and lost. The House has
since been engaged in settling the items Of
appropriation bills.
