The Tariff Bill was taken up by the majority of
ten in vote of 104 to o. Of the fullest votes Of
the session, and the largest since the choice of off.
GERS, since the meeting Of congress. King Caucns
triumphed at last, and over all appeals to justice,
patriotism, good sense, country, and every princ-
pie worth appealing to- The Connecticut delega-
ton gave way at FIRST, and voted against the present
Tariff by voting in favor Of the Bill to destroy it
Connecticut, which was for the Tariff before the
State election, is against it now, that the election il
over; and thus whole State, or its principles.
which are the same. is sacrificed to party. Beau

equally in favor Of the present Tariff until not one

cient vote to go into Committee of the Whole, and

vote has rarely been given by any party within

Mr.. Pollock of Pennsylvania, just elected, and who

which brought upon us some national reproach in
the eyes Of an impartial world. And in my opinion
they impose on US the obligation of scrupulously
avoiding the imputaton Of having instigated and
aided the revolution with the ultimate view of ter
ritoral aggrandiZement After the battle Of San
Jacinto, the United States recognized the indepen-
dence of Texas, in conformity with the principle
and practice which had always prevailed in their
councils ofrecognizing the government de fGetO,"
without regarding the question de jsye. That re-
cogntion did not affect or impair the rights of Mex
leo, or change the relations which existed between
her and Texas. She, on the contrary. has preser-
we'd all her rights, and has continued to assert, and
so far as know, yet asserts. her right to reduce
Texas to obedience, a. part OF the Republic of
Mexico According to late Intelligence, it is pro-
bable that abe has agreed upon atemporary suspen-
sion Of hostlities but il that has been done, pre-
sumo it is with the purpose, upon the termination
Of the armistice, OF renewing The war and enforcing
her rights. as she considers them. s,as.. .yrt
This narrativeshows the present actual condition
OF Texas, SO far as have information about it. II
IT be correct, Mexico has not ABANDONED but perse-
veres in the assertion Of her nights by actual force
OF arms, which if suspended, are intended to be re-
newed. Under these circumstances, If the govern

1t would acquire along with Il all the ineumbran-

ORE HAND MARRIAGE.

An English merchant, resident at 81. Peters
burgh, desired to marry a Russian lady, which
cannot be done without 4 special ediCt from
the Emperor. He had given up all hopes,
when one evening, a friend happening TO find
the Emperor IN good humor, represented the
matter to INN, and desired his permission.
"Let Miss A. and Mr.. B. be married immedi
ateiy," was the order given by Nicholas. This
Ukase was signed at 0 p. NJ, by ten it had
passed through the Offices ofregistry, whence,
by eleven o'clock it was in the hands Of the
synod, and by midnight the police were lrot-
ting the streets to put 1t in execution without
delay. Mr---was fast asleep, when a thun-
dering rap at the door frightened him awake.
Visions Of the knout and the like, foated be.
fore his half awakened brain, when the bear
faced soldiers, burst into his chamber and or
dered him to dress and follow. "In Gods
name what have Idonc!"h he exclaimed, where
AN to go? Must | be dragged off at this time
Of night" 1--WE have a warrant for you,
which must be executed Immediately" said
one of them and he proceeded to read. by
the grace Of God, the Aulocrat Of all the Rus.
slams, &c, orders the marriage Of DR.. A.. to
Miss B.. to be soIemnized Immediately, &c"
you see the admits ofno delay" observed
The officer ~gravely. The aStonished merchant
was then hurried off to a priest, and thence in
company with this funetionary 10 the house of
the lady, who was Numbered up in the same
way and ere her eyes were fairly opened, or
her dishabille half arranged, the twain were
one flesh. The clergyman attested the execu-
ton Of the sentence, and abruptly departed
with the ~of1cers, leaving the astonished cou.
pie to get over their confusion, consider what
ought to be done next, and finish their broken
slumber at their leisure.
