| are at length under way, the Senate having OBJ
| tanned quorum through the arrival of MIR. Berrien,
| Of Ga, who came to town last evening The Mes
| sage of the President was received about an hour
since. II is dull prosy mixed up affair, contains
great deal of good sense bat which is unfortunately
blended with such vast deal of humbug and specu-
lation that its effect is destroyed. II s in effect
| singular affair, and wants that strength which
State paper OF so much Importance should always
possess. The differences in the Cabinet are yisi-
bic on its surface and shows to what shifts the Pre-
sident must be put in carrying on the Government
II makes hit at the tariff and protection per sc to
| please Mr. Tyler and the south, but with saving
clause in favor of incidentals to suit Messrs Web
ser and Forward, that it is on this point any
thing that you please.
The Exchequer is still adhered to, the President
going the whole figure for it, the Exchange feature
| and all, but IN such :" lame and questionable"
manner that one would suppose the parent be-
ginning to grow distrusttul of his offspring;
commended IN cold and formal a way The
| fault Is rather in the style than the matter how
ever; The benefits be derived from an issue Of
biteen millions OF paper money by the Government
are pointed out with much apparent earnestness in
| the Message as mode OF supplying, not only the
people with an abundance of paper blessings but of
| recruiting the Government also.
AT the close OF 1t there Is a recommendation in
favor OF remltting to General Jackson the fine i'm
| posed by Judge Hale at New Orleans, which gave
| rise to general laugh in the House, as the mo-
tives OF the President IN making such recon-
mendaon at this iuncture appeared suspicious, but
rtve Ia humbug. Mr. Adams had his resolution for
resembling the 2lst rule up again this morning. the
House having refused yesterday to entertain the
| previous question. Under the rules when ques-
ton is disposed of in this way it is laid over to the
next day, and IS then again taken up to be further
postponed, should the House still refuse to entertain
the question. This was the Speakers decision this
| morning, and 1t was sustained by the House on a
| point OF order raised by Mr. Wise. To dispose of
the matter, therefore, the farce of yesterday was
eracted over again. An Intellectual attempt was
made to lay the matter on the table, and when this
had failed, the, previous question was moved
which also failed, so hat the resolution WILL as a
matter OF course, lie until Tomorrow when it
Will be again brought up
The object of this movement is TO stave of as long
as possible the final vote the resolution, as to
allow those members that are still absent TO arrive
when there will be " lots of fun" on this question
to vote for res,indng the 2lst rule on account of
some little JealousIes existing between them and the
southern delegations, that should not be surprised
to md the abolluonsts succeeding at length in their
efforts.
The message gave rise to considerable amusemen,
in the House. The Calhoun men looked blue, the
wings green, and the Van Buren, men as merry as
ouplease. They consider this message, in fact as
settling the Captains claims and opening a clear
path for " Matte" to the Presidency.
LATEST FROM TExAs.-Advices from Galveston

| About three weeks ago, N. b. Garner was shot

about ten days previous, and who reported news of
rather dscouraging character. lie said the draft
ed troops are quite wearied out with the long delay,
and are anxious to return home. Gen Somervell
had taken command, and the army had been or
ganlzed INTO two regiments; but no order had been

and Il was the general impression among the troops
that Gen. Somervell was waiting for further orders

across the bleak praires between Bexar and the Rio
Grande. Ii they had marched one or two weeks
earlier, they could have been crossed with ease
and when oace the troops had reached the towns
on the Rio Grande, they would have found com

have concluded to relinquish the expedition and re-

We understand that little parties of five or six are

these may be followed by parties of twenty or

There is however. some hope. There is plent-
ful supply OF beef and corn in camp, and none are
suffering for food Many of the volunteers declare
that they will go on, even if all the drafted men
turn. The brave Cameron and his gallant company
we understand are willing to march to the Rio
