MIR. WEBSTER AND THE RIGHT OF
SEARCH.

The article in the 'Inelligencer' Of Tuesday last,
ON the Ashburton treaty, it is properly desig-
mated by the "London Times" labors to prove that
England has abandoned all pretension to the fright
of search' and that to Mr. Webster belongs the
credit of having induced her to do so.
II quotes from the "London Tines" as follows;
"with the United States the case is wholly different
They refused accept the mutual right oil search put thef
government has co-operated win smceIyi t III i ~

The lntellgencer, speaking of this treaty, says;

treaty make ''new concession to Englandf" Inc

''this provision being substitute for, was, IN fact,
the exclusion Of the claim Of search previously as

1t is here admitted that the African squadron was
given by the treaty Of Washington, as substitute
for the right Of search" and at the same time, 1t u

his believed that the Mexicans were occupying
two positions--in what force, does not appear We
find the following article upon the subject IN the
"National Register" of the 18th;
CoRpus CHRsTI-The trade of Corpus Christi
hos been remarkably brisk within the last four or
sSs weeks; and the town is now rapidly improving.
Several large parties of traders from the Rio Grande
have visited the place; and they expressed great
,,;ss would soon be adjusted. They report that
large r bodies of Mexican troops have recently ar
lived in the provinces east Of the mountains from
the INTERIOR but they did not state that any large
hndv of these forces had crossed the Rio Grande.
We are inclined to believe that the forces east OF the
ooun,ains have been overated by the spies of Cap
,an Hays. We do not believe that the whole num-
her Of troops at all the positions east of the Sierra
Madre exceeds three thousand. The whole number
Of troops in Matamoras is estimated at only three or
four hundred - Telegraph.
