The Twenty-fourth Session of Congress has commenced. We received the Presi- dents Message on Wednesday evening, last week and published !. ;v,ssii
 Tn an extra, which We forwarded to all our subscribers in this Territory. We repnblisl It In our paper this weel.. ia order tAat these who please may file t for reference.
 in the main we like the Message. Its tone as to our relations with France is mild, dig nified and proper. There are two things in the Message which are rather musing. One E the Idea that the effcuiafiRg medium is now III better condition tEan when tine Bank of the United States was in full operation. To us Tn Arkansas, where the money of distant De- posite Banks is utterly useless--and where United States Bank notes are seized upon. wherever found, with greedy ayidity, the idea IS preposterous. Why, three dollar note of the State Bank of New Jersey was sent to us to pay a subscription some time since, and we could hardly ,gire 1t away. Another Is the declaration of the President, that he wishes the Constitution so amended as that the performance of the high duty of clectng the President may be secured to the people aeithout aay Intermediate agency. We heard it shrewdly remarked day or two since, that this advice, after the Baltimore Conven- ton, was like that of man who finds door unlocked, goes in and steals every thing he can find, and when going out with his plum der, meets the owner of the house. 'sLook here, " says he, Eff you do not keep your door locked, I'll he hanged if somebody does not slip In, one of these nights, and steal every thing you possess ln the world.o

 been surrounded with ditehes five feet in depth and near twelve broad, and the earth l from them has been thrown up inside-.s so as to form an efficient defence. The ditches have been filled with water from the sluicas which were employed to irrigate the fields. Artillery are mounted upon the top of the great church and other advantageous posi- tions. The garrison has twenty eight pec- es of cannon.
 The main army of the colonists, under the command of Gen. Stephen F. Austin, and numbering near one thousand men, are l now besieging the place l; but they have but l five pieces of cannon, and none of them exceeding six pounds calihre. The whole army are now waiting the arrival of twelve l pound gun-ade, which it is hoped will be sufficient 10 knock down the enemy's de- l fences, se - The long eighteen pounder which came l from New Orleans, unfortunately, was not accompanied by any shot fitting it's calibre, and this little oversight will cost the country a delay and expense greater than the cost of fifty guns. And this IS not all--for if the twelve pounder should not prove suf- ficient to demolish the enemy's works the place must be taken by assault, at the ex- pense ofthe lives of many brave men, whom both humanity and policy call upon us 10 l save from the sacrifice.
 Four hundred men from the garrison of Bexar made sortie upon party of colon ists-not one fourth of their numbers--but were defeated with loss. Major Fannin, who commanded company of the party assailed, took from the enemy a brass six pounder after desperate struggle---the l Major having killed soldier of the famous Morelos battalion, while in the very act of spiking the gum ; 1 MT.
