GENERAL BurLER.-The Louisville Journal, in
referring to the ISLANDERS uttered against this officer
says: ia
"Gen. Butler had express orders to make the charge
which he did make, and he performed the hazardous
duty with his characteristic chivalry.
Unqueslionaby Gen Butler is somewhat reckless
where only his own personal safety is concerned but
no officer if we rightly informed, is regard
full of the lives Of the men entrusted to his charge
He leads his followers unfinchingly into all neces-

Mobile register and journal., 1846-12-08

The New York Tribune is defending the anti renters, by whose aid the whigs carried the late C. lection. One or two whig papers in the State still revolt at the unnatural coalition which they never theless helped into power for the sake of the party The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, which IS des- crbed in the New York Express as the leading whig paper in western New York, boldly denounces the objects of the clique who have become predominant in New York politics by the anti-rent swlndle. He says:
 "Ths anti-rent excitement has been seZed upon and favored and cherished by Set of political huck sters of whom the editor of the Tribune IS chei, as so m uch capital with which in the close division of parties 10 control this State and dictate who shall and who shall not be set up for either State or na- Ional offices. :"
 This is the complaint of an "old whig" who is erumbng at the utter overthrow of MT. Clay's par ticular friends in he late medley election; laments of the conservatives for those "true and gallant whigs" whom il is now attempted ito whistle down the wind"
 The New York Courier combats these notions of the Tribune, and tho kindred doctrines which that print is engraflng upon the whig party as radical and destructiye'-of the same character as those which Fanny Wrght' taught number of years ago, and which every whg then held in the utmost abhorrence. Now, says the Courier, her doctrines "are daily proclaimed and urged upon the public ear by one of the abest, most adroit, and most influential leaders of the whg party;" and what surpr ses the Courier most many whigs who dsapprove of the disorganizng course are, for the sake of the whig party, very much annoyed that any whig should publicly express his dissent!

The Washington Union confirms the statement which we gave yesterday from the New York Even ing Post, that our government has had correspon- dence with the Spanish government on the subject of the use of Spanish ports for Mexican priyaeers, and have exchanged the most satisfactory assurances ofamcabc feelings,a and renewed expressly the spu- latons offormer treaties. We says the Union. on our part have instructed squadron to respect the rights of Spanish vessels, who are destined to any Mexican port which may not happen to be blocka- ded, and without any contraband of war on board. Spain, on her part, pledges herself 10 observe the obligations of her treaty, and to prohibit Mexican privaeersmen from using the privileges of the Span ish ports.
 As to tho naturalization of foreigners, we will take effective means to prevent and punish the fraud.
