CoNGREss.-As no decisive action
has been taken upon any question of
national importance by Congress, other
than the resembling Of the rule prohibit
ting abolition petition, but little space
is allotted to its proceedings to-day
The rule referred to was rescinded by
vote of 107 ayes to so noes-sirty-
foe democrats and fifteen wings vot-
ing against, and .,fy3ysir democats and
.Yfy-one wings voting for resembling.
Had seven more of the southern wings
voted as they ought have done, the
business of Congress would not have
been interrupted, as it no doubt will
be, by the presentation Of hundreds and
thousands of abolition petitions, which
must all, in the present state Of things,
be received and formally disposed Of
A friend writing from Washington,
upon this subject, says: Abo-
lition petitions are beginning to food
in upon the House, and unless the good
sense of that body shall reinstate the
old rule, or adopt that of the Senate,
which is to receive and lay on the ia
bic without debate, the business of the
country will not only be greatly delay
ed, but much angry feeling will be en-
gendered. Ofall questions which have
agitated the country, this is by far the
most dangerous and alarming"
In the Senate, Mr.. BENTON has in
troduced a bill for The annexation of
Texas. The subject has been referred
to the committee on foreign relations,
from whom we may shortly expect a
report.

have in Mexico, we are unable to say.
From the officers of the Spartan we
learn that Gen. Duff Green had arrived
at Vera Cruz, from the city of Mexico,
with dispatches for our government,
and embarked Immediately on board
the cutter Woodbury.. The Woodbu-
ny sailed for Pensacola on the 18th
the day Of sailing OF the Spartan. The
dispatches of Gen. Green are of the
greatest importance.
So far as we can learn from a most
hasty perusal of our files, disturbances
have broken out in Jalisco, the capital
of which is Guadalajara. Gen. Paroles
appears to be at the head of the move
ment, and the affair is evidently regar-
ded by the press and by the officers of
the government as extremely serious.
A singular circumstance in the business
is, that Gen. Canalizo, the "provision-
alp president, is now giving orders to
the CONSTITUTIONAL president, Santa
Ana. The latter having received no.
tee to place himself at the head of the
troops concentrated at Jalappa, at once
( ioyfully complies. His orders were to
march at once to Queretaro, city
three or four days march from Mexi-
CO, and on the road to Gaudalajara,
there to operate as the exigencies OF
the case might demand. Santa Ana
put his troops at once in motion, and
announces to headquarters that he has
under his command 1000 infantry,
800 cavalry, and twenty field pieces,
all in the best state of equipment.
From Encero-one of Santa Ana's
haciendas, near Jalappa, where he met
his new bride-he issued, on the 9th
ult brief and spirited address to the
army. He denounces the conduct Of
Paroles, in stirring up revolution in
Gaudalajara, declares him a traitor and
the instrument of a faction, and appeals
to the troops by their former exploits
to stand by him, and chastise the infa-
nous crime. He calls himself the
humble instrument of the government,
ready to do all in his power to preserve
the integrity of the territory and sustain
the constitutional government.
Gen. Canalizo, too, issues his adj
dresses from the capital to the nation
and to the army, appealing to them
to stand by their country and by Santa
Ana in this moment when the nation,
already involved in war with Texas,
is now threatened with new internal
dissensions. He appears to regret that
the march of the army upon Texas
should have been interrupted by this
last outbreak, bat promises to mete out
Ito the guilty all the punishment the
laws will authorize.

The Nashvill Union, replying to the
Banner on the subject of the vote for
Mr.. Polk in his own town, Columbia,
says
cit is true that a majority of votes
were given for Henry Clay IN Colum-
bia, but it is not true that they were
given By the citizens Of that town; for
the defeat of Col Polk in his own pre-
cinct beng one of the highest points of
whig ambition, hundreds oftheir party
were induced to go in from adjacent
precincts for this inglorious purpose
1t is, therefore, no evidence of lack of
neighborhood popularity. On the con-
trary, it is the best possible evidence
that, but for this incoming of whig
voters from precincts, Col. Polk would
have had decided majority atthe coun-
ty seat where he resides.
SO with the Hermitage precinct. 1t
has been the practice of the personal
and political friends of Messrs. Bell,
Foster & Co., for years to go from
Nashville and other precincts of this
county to the Hermitage poll on the
morning of the election, and there cast
their votes. The object is self-evident.
1t is to give forth to our country and
the world, a falls inapression-an i'm
preston that a majority of Gen. Jack
sons own neighbors are not friendly to
him. Contemplate as it is, those who
are in the habit Of it, openly boast of
their conduct at the corners of the
streets; and their presses, as in this case,
controlled by intellect inebriated with
the distilment of malice and revenge,
give voice to the false impressions and
exult over it.
To the qualification which this labor
and pains to wrong and misrepresent the
great and good old man of the Hermit
tage affords these disappointed, re
vengeful and malicious partizanleaders,
they are more than welcome. In the
language of other days: ''it is wasting
ammunition against a bomb-proof bat
terry.
But the SANDER of Gov. Polk home
reputation becomes still grosser in view
of the fact that Maury county, where
he has resided from boyhood, and
where he still resides, gave him ma
jority of nearly seuen hundred uotes:
and the Congressional District which
he so long represented, composed of
Lincoln, Giles, Maury, Bedford, and
the new counties of Marshall and COT
fee, gaze him a majority ofnearly thir-
ty eight hundred.

LATER FROM MEXICO.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.

By the arrival at the Southwest Pass
of the English frigate Spartan, Hon.
Capt. Elliot, commander, whic h vessel
sailed from Vera Cruz on the 18th ult.
we have intelligence fifteen days later
from Mexico.
The city was rife with rumors yester-
day morning, to the effect that our mi
mister at Mexico, the Hon. Wilson
Shannon, had demanded his passports,
and was on his way home and also
that revolution had broken out in
Mexico, which had resulted in the O.
verthrow of Santa Ana. There certain
ly was some foundation for this start
ling intelligence; but the news does
not turn out to be as important as was
at first reported, although still of a mo-
mentous nature.
To commercial house of this city
we were last evening indebted for full
files of the Diario del Gobieymo and
Ell Siglo Diez q Nueve up to the 18th
Nov. We give as much of the news
as we can find room for.
It would appear, from such Of the
published correspondence as we have
seen in the Didrio, that on the 31st Oct.
GOV. Shannon addressed letter to the
Mexican Government, protesting ag-
ainst the proposed invasion of Texas by
Mexico, and especially against the
manner in which the invasion was to
be made To this the minister of for
eign affairs replied, denying the right
Of the United States or any foreign 60
vernment to interfere in the internal af-
fairs of the republic. Gov. Shannon,
in answer, characteristics the Secretary's
letter as beng grossly offensive, mas
much as it charges the United States,
its government and the people, with
falsehood, trickery, intrigue, and de-
signs of the most dishonorable charac-
ter. Gov. Shannon alleges that the
note of the Secretary is SO gross in its
character, so offensive, that he can on
ly demand that it be at once Withdrawn.
The Mexican minister replies with the
utmost warmth. He treats the earlier
part Of Mr.. Shannon's correspondence
as being supercilious and offensive; jus
titles all that he has himself written
protests that the Mexican government
has done, and is doing, all that it can
to prevent rupture with the U. States,
but that affairs have reached such a
crisis that it is necessary for his gov
eminent to speak out plainly before the
world. He therefore declines to with
draw the note.
From the tone of this note, 1t is evil
dent enough that the Mexican minister
is of the opinion that Mr.. Shannon
does not speak the sentiments OF ma
iority Of the people Of the U. States, in
relation to the Texas question. He
considered, too, that our recent presi
Dental contest must have resulted IN
the election Of Mr.. Clay; and he speaks
Of that gentleman, MIR. Adams, and the
United States Senate, in terms the
most dainty, while he holds Mr.. Tyler's
administration alone responsible for
the present complication of affairs be-
tween the two countries. What effect
the result of Mr.. Folks election may

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We conclude to-day the very inter,
esting message of President TYLER,
and recommend for it careful perusal
by the reader. 1t is his last annual
communication; and the subjects Of
which it treats, and to which the seri-
Gus elaboration of Congress is solicit
ted, are of vast magnitude, and cannot
fail to inspire corresponding degree
of interest in the public mind.
With the exception ola few unadjus-
ted claims, our relations with the pow
ers of Europe generally are represented
as being perfectly amlcable.
But we conceive that the most inter
esting and absorbing question to which
the President invites the attention of
Congress, and in which the nation has
a most vital and abiding interest, is the
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS. The argu-
ments of the President, in answer to
the objections urged against the treaty
presented to the Senate last winter
the principal one among which was,
that the question of annexation had not
been referred directly to the people for
their decision-are lucid and complete.
And especially clear and satisfactory
is his answer to the objection, that the
consent of the Mexican government
should have been obtained before the
subject was presented to the Senate
The answer to this objection is, that as
this government had acknowledged,
by a declaration formally and solemnly
made, the full and entire independence
of Texas from Mexico, and had treated
with her on the aame footing that she
would have done with any other free
and independent nation, it would not
only have been insulting and wounding
to the pride of Texas, but this govern
ment would have been placed in the RI
diculous position before the world, of
thus violating its former declarations
upon the subject and it is as con-
clusiyely shown that no arrangements
the questions of boundaries
and indemnities could have been enter.
ed into between this government and
that of Mexico, prior to the ratification
of the treaty of annexation on the part
former. The President does not be-
ieve that war would be the result of
but that, ultimately, it
will be the means Of settling existing
upon just and honorable
grounds that would meet the
APPRECIATION of the civilised world
md prevent other questions of more Sc
'ious import, and consequently more
difficult of amicable adjustment, from
arising for it is scarcely to be pre-
sumed that this country could or would
silently permit Mexico to carry out her
nhumane and unjust, not TO say saw
age designs upon Texas, without in
in its behalf. Indeed, to per-
nit it, would be stigma upon the
Christian world.
