The National Tntelligencer Of Friday con-
tains a list of ex-memhers Of Congress-
There are II Senators, and 65 members of
the House Of Representatives. In eleven of
the States the election of Representatives has
not vet taken place: the above number will,
consequently, he much increased. 1t also
contains an article upon the subject ofthe un-
finished business of the last Congress, which
furnishes some facts With which we were be.
fore unacqlainted. 1t is stated that the num-
Der of bills which has passed the House Of
Representatives, and were twice read in the
Senate, hut finally left upon the table Of that
body, was Just one hundred. The number of
Senate bills thus lost 10 the House Of Repre-.
spntatives was about thirty. Among the bills
lost were the following, viz :-appr"priating
100000 for building a custom house in New
York regulating the allowance Of mileage to
members of Congress, &C.; providing for the
support Of persons engaged in the revolution
AIRY war, including the militia, which the Sen.
ate, on the Cd inst. refused to- take up, by
vote Of 90 to 60; and the bill making an APP
preparation for the improvement OF certain
harbours and providing for surveys. The lat
ter was passed in the House Of Representa-
tives by a vote Of lO7 to 81, and was expect
I'd TO pass the Senate by maturity of Is
votes. But. had it passed both houses, it is
supposed by many that the President would
have put his veto upon it. The lntelligencer
| attributes the loss Of so many bills 10 the Sen.
ate, partly To the time occupied in the trial of
Judge Peck, and partly to the introduction,
! late in the session, Of Improbable debates.
--latest from Merico-C0piure Of Guerrero
The New Orleans Bee Of Feb. 90. which we
received yesterday, says the Journal of Com
nerce. meDti"ns the arrival at that port from
TampicO. on the eth February Of the sch0on-
FRS Emperor and PretO. Papers Ut late
date were received by them from MexicO.-
The most important news which they furnish
is the announcement by despatch from the
Alcade OF Huatuco, to the cOnmandant of
the department Of Ejuta, Of the almost total
defeat Of Guerrero's party. and capture OF that
chieftain. 1t seems he was taken at Acapul-
CO, ON the South Sea, and conveyed thence
to HuatulcO in the Sandman brig Colombo.
The despatch is dated ON the Gath January,
and states that the b. is arrived on the goth.
1t was transmitted by the cOnmandant of
Ejulia to the Governor of Ojaca, and by him
forwarded to the Minister. Guerrero left HUI
atulco ON the 26th for Ojaca, guarded by n
strong escort. From thence he will doubtless
be- conducted to Mexico, where the judgment
of a Council Of War will speedily decide his
fate.
Later accounts state that Guerrero was tr- !
ed by II Council Of War at Ojaca On the 10th
of February. found guilty and sentenced to be
shot which sentences was carried into exeCu- |
ton on the 14th.-N Y. Dos.
