VANpALIA, April 9.

1he hndians.-Wc have been able 10 obtain very little information relative to the invasion Of the Sac and Fox in- dians at the North, on which we can rely. The only authentic document We have seen, is the letter of Gen. At klnson to Gov. Reynolds, published in to-day's paper. Gen. A makes no esti, mate of the numbers and strength ofthe Indians; yet says the force under his command, (slx companies of regulars } lis not sufficient to justify an attack. and calls on the Governor to adopt his own measures in defence of the State.
 Rumors of an aggravated character. as to the force and carriage of the In, dians, are circulating very freely, well calculated to agitate the community. yet at the same time very imperfect guides to correct notion of the real state ofthings at the scene of action.- ihe red men arc said to be numerous. well armed and accoutered for war. and to manifest a greater determination than evert maintain their ground, and de- lend their ancient homes. and the graves of their fathers from the white mans rude tonch.' Black Hawk is magni- he'd into second Tecumseh--made to say he has built his sscouncii fires, among countless tribes far on towards the setting sun, and reused the native indian of "Lion heart and eagle eye.'' to keep up his march on the sswar path.'' and meet the "pale faces" at their doors: all which we hope will turn out to mean nothing more than that he wants more corn; though we have some appreher,- sion that our expectation is not well grounded.
 Some of our citizens who know more ofindian artifices, and Indian wars than we do, confidently assert their belief that the time for Black Hawk and his band to make desperate struggle has come-that it is perfectly consonantl

 .Menmo.-From the kindness of a highly respectable commercial house of this city, we are enabled to present some furtherinformation from Tampico. It appears that the revolution of Santa Anna was no idle matter. A letter received in town bearing date l2th April, states that about the moment it was written, the mail arrived from Mexico with information that the min isters of Bustamante had been dismiss ed-but tue names of the new appoint ment had not yet transpired. We have reason 10 give credit to the truth of this statement and look forward with confidence tothe return of peace and tranquility 10 this distracted country.
 From he Tampico Gazefte ef .4prii l2.
 We have no news -oi definite char acter from the interior since our last. It is rumored, however, that some dis turbanec hadlatelv taken place in Mex ico, and despite Of the tyrannieal mea- sufes adopted by the ministers and their satellites to prevent il, the cause of Gen. Santa Anna is fast gaining ground, and is now beginning to be feaflessly advocated in the very face of their oppressors. Our next intelligence from that quarter will be highly inter- esting.
 We have nothing new from Sant Lu- is. Commandant Zenon appears to have exhausted all his powers, mental and physical, in his famous proclama- ton of the 26th ut. as he has not been heard of since.
 S1H tater from .yNe1ico.-The brig Heroine, Captain Kelden, just arrived, sailed on the 18th inst. from Vera Cruz. The brig Spark, Captain Young, has arrived in town and we are politely furnished with the following informa- tion:-Ihe government troops were within half a mile ofthe city, maintain ing a close seige. They had, never theless, sent off for achievements On the 18th, bombardment was con- menced and kept up 10 the 18th. All the horned cattle had been consumed at Vera Cruz, and but few sheep still remained. Flour was in great plenty, and had fallen as low as S8. II may now be question, whether the report of d change of ministry, prevail ing at the departure of the Peleano from Tampico, was well founded.-B.

The following remarks or the IIous- ton case, from the New York Courier and Enquirer, we conceive contain a just view of the question, provided it were true that "Gen. Houston made no attack upon Mir. Stanberry for words spoken in debate"-iet 1t be recollect- ed, however, that Mir. Stanberry stated Oh oath that the assault 7uaS 'edDozcedly for zrords spoken in ndebate." We very much di shke an effort by individuals, under any circumstances, to redress their own grievanccs,i a country where no ono ought 10 be ashamed 10 be gui- ded and protected by the laws; and certainly think that violence towards Representative of the people is more taggravated offence than towards a pri- vate individual; inasmuch as 1t tends to restrain them in the discharge of their duty, and opens the door for those justly accused on the floor of Congress to revenge themselves upon their accu- sers. We mean these remarks as gen. erai, and do not apply them to the case which called them forth.--National Banner.
 0E-7-"The Houston Case" as it is call ed, has deservedly excited much atten- tion; and now that the affair has lost some ofits novelty and much of the par ty character which Stanberry and
 few opposition prints, attempted to give if, 1t may be well to look dispassionately into its merits.
 There is no privilege which the press should be more jealous in preserving,
 than the freedom of debate secured to
 every member of Congress by the Con- stitution of the United States. On the preservation of this privilege, depends
 the pcrmanency of our institutions, and
 we feel proud at all times in lending our feeble aid in it's support. But we
 have another and an equally important
 duty to perform, in the protection which our Constitution secures 10 the PEOPLE.
 The Constitution, as we'll as the Repre- sentatives, has rights, and the 9sghfs of the former should at all times be strict Y guarded by the press for the good cause that they have delegated their posrer to the latter. In the case in question, NIT. Stanberry charged in his place in the House of Representatives. that Gen. Houston had contemplated a fraud upon the Government. If he deemed it hisduty to make such charge. there can be no doubt he had a right te do SO; and had Gen. Houston immadi- ateiy thereafter, inflicted personal chas- ltlsement, it is equally certain that it would have been the duty, as it vas the right of the House of Representa- tiyes, to have punished him for breach Iof It's privileges. But this is not the state of the case. Gen. Houston made no attack upon Mir. Stanberry afor words spoken in debate,n-but when Mir. Stanberry prepared his speech,for publication, and sent it forth to the world, he punished him for 90 doing and in this he was perfectly justi6abie.l and subject only to an action for dana. ges sin Court of Law, or to indictment

7Ae War Begun.-We learn, withre. gret, that the acrimonious language which has of late characterized the struggle between the Union and Nulli- hcatlon parties ofSumpter, has at length terminated in blows and violence. Eff teen or twenty individuals are saidtO have been arrayed on each side, armed with dirks, clubs and missiles, seyeraloi whom experienced slight, and one or two, serious injuries. We are in pos. session of sosne of the names and par. ticulars, but forbear making them pub lie, until the statement undergoes moro general confirmation.

From the St. Louis Beacon.

.Nihfmy.-Our last information fron the Upper Mississippi, does not yaryhe relation of the parties very matefially from that last published. It will.bere re. collected that the Indians took position in the first. place on Rock river, at tbe Prophets village. They have since re. moved thirty or forty miles higher up. and we understand that the militia from Illinois, one thousand strong, instead of meeting the regular troops, under Gen. Atkinson at Rock Island, have orders to change their route, so as to effecta junction with the General, on the Rock river, near the camp of the Indians
 The United States troops were to be transported from Rock Island to Gale. na, and to march from thence aeloa the country 10 the point on Rock river designated. They average about three hundred and fifty. The force of the h. dians, according to the most authentic information, varies from five 10 seven hundred. The Indians stand upon the defensive, but threaten resistance in case of d foreible attempt to remove them, or to seize the Prairie dn Ghlen murderers. It will be perceived that they have an extensive back ground on which 10 retreat, and may, therefore, if assailed by superior numbers, put their assailants to great deal of expense and trouble.
 The exact time at which junction of the United States troops with the Illinois militia will take place, of coarse, is not known, but probably, about the 9th of this month; after which time We may expect to hear of something decisive. The great danger to be ap prehended is, not that the Indians will defeat their enemies, but that, in case they arc attacked, after slight ski. miah, they will retreat along the settle. ments, committing the most terrible out rages in their course. We are stlId the opinion, that the course dictated by humanity, and regard to public econ omy, is to give them sound drubbiDg. We are more impressed with the pro priety of such course, when we re- fleet that their principal force is made up of the disaffected and profigate of various tribes inthat section ofcountry.
