The BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN PoRTs.-
Com, Conner, ofthe Home Squadron, has issued
the following instructions to be observed in en-.
forcing the blockade of the ports of the east
coast of Mexico:
l. No neutral vessel, proceeding towards the
entrance of the bIockaded port, shall be cap.
tured or detained, if she shall not previously
have received, from one of the blockading
squadron, a special notification of the existence
of the blockade. This notification shall be,
moreover, inserted in writing on the muster roll
of the neutral vessel by the cruiser which meets
her, and it shall contain the announcement, to-
gether with statements of the day, and the lat
itude in which it was made.
;. Neutral vessels which may be already in
the port before the blockade Of it, shall have
full liberty to depart, with or without cargo,
during fifteen days after that upon which the
blockade is established.
3. The ports of Vera Cruz and Tampco will
remain entirely free for the entrance and de-
parture of neutral non-commercial mail pack
cts.
Mexican boats engaged exclusively in fish
ing on any part of the coast, will be allowed TO
pursue their labors unmolested.
In its present political condition, the flag Of
Yucatan is TO be respected.

We learn from the Montreal CORES.

there is a great excitement there or the
subject of oar war with Mexico. Moth
ing has leaked out relative 10 the intention
of Great Britain in this matter, but all is
activity among the military folk, parad-
ing, reviewing, marching and counter
marching.
No troops have vet arrived at Quebec
from Britain, and as 27O vessels have ar
rived they cannot have been despatched
in such a tremendous hurry as was
reported.
The'new militia bill las amended,) has
been printed. The militia is to consist of
all the male inhabitants between eighteen
and sixty. la time Of peace, no one will
be called upon TO serve as a private over
the age OF forty !; but the provisions of the
bill in time of war are very Stringent
Lawyers and doctors are exempted.
Sir Allan McNab, the Speaker of the
Legislative Assembly, has had 4 severe
attack of illness, but is recovering. Ii is
said that Parliament will be prorogued
about the lsl proximo, but nothing is
known positively it is rumored that the
session is protracted with a view to the
possibility of any contingency consequent
on the present disturbed state Of affairs.
A good number of emigrants have ar
lived, principally of a superior class; all
with a few exceptions have gone west.
The weather has been very cold !; ice
was formed every morning last week, and
vegetation has suffered in consequence.
The markets are suffering from the
unsettled aspect Of things, and the next
news from England is anxiously waited
for. Flour has averaged during the week
28s. Cd. a 20 !; and sales to nearly 1000
barrels have been effected at home>rates
for shipment.
The grocery trade has suffered a heavy
blow here from the drawback bill, a very
large proportion of the Upper Canada
buyers having laid in their stocks from
New York.
The survey of the line for the projected
| great railroad bet ween Halifax and Que.
bee has commenced, and it seems pretty
certain that The British government will
assist this undertaking with the sum pre-
%viously Intended for making q military
road.
A great improvement has taken place
on the route between Montreal and Kings
ton. Steamers now ply the whole distance
between Kingston and Lachine, nine
miles from Montreal. The hitherto dis.
agreeable portages are abolished by the
completion of the canals, as the steamers
can now descend the rapids, being enabled
to return by the canal route.-Budget.

From Washington.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Express says;
The NATIONAL FAIR was so crowded
that persons endeavoring 10 pass in and
out were nearly sufocaled.
The Investigating Committee were
moving slowly. Mr.. Tyler was expect
ed in Washington on the night of Goth
inst. 10 answer some interrogatories.
Mr.. F. y. J. Smith has been examined,
and his testimony acquits Mr.. Webster of
several Of the foul charges preferred
against him. One Of these charges was
the corruption of the public press; but
the only press corrupted was by the en-
ployment of The owners to print forms Of
blank petitions.
Mr.. J, @. Adams, Mr.. Gushing, (who
has been some weeks in the city, and Mr..

their posts were strengthened, and every
individual who entered the city was de-
tanned and pressed into The service.
During the action ofthe 9Th, the houses
tops in Matamoros were covered with the
people, and the bank of the river was
lined with spectators; but, writes a brave
though tacelious correspondent. "a huzza
from the Fort, brought forth by a des>
patch messenger who rode in to announce
our victory, made them all SLOPE"
From an officer who was not in The fort
from The lsl till the 10Th inst, we learn
tina. while i! was invested during General
Taylor's absence with "a greater part Of
the army, Gen. Arista sent into it a sum-
mons to surrender upon the scare Of hu-
manity! This was after the action Of the
9th, and before the issue Of it was known
by those in the fort. The greatest ankle
ty was OF course felt by them as to the re.
sui 1t, because their fate was to depend
mainly upon the success of the army.
Ignorant Of what had happened, and as
sured that a large army awaited General
Taylor, and that it would be impossible
for him to reach The fort-thus swayed by
| anxiety, hope, confidence and fear-no
not fear-lhat brave band refused 10 sur
render.
What their fate would have been had
Gen. Taylor been defeated, and the whole
Mexican horde beleagured the fort, the
history of all Mexican warfare too fear
fully presages. While on this theme, we
feel constrained 10 say that the Mexicans
dealt berbarously upon those Americans
who fell in action. No officers were TAX.

ously muliIa:ed. All the letters that we
have read state the fact that the persons Of

The official intelligence from the army
is TO the 18th inst. The 1900 Mexlcans
reported killed are not more Than 1--WE
hundred in number. Our own killed was
fortv-three in the Two battles, and 100
wounded, some Of them the flower OF the
army. The battles were most severe,
and they will probably lead rather TO a
curtailment of the war, than 10 the resist
ance before anticipated.
One more battle is probable upon the
banks of the Rio Grande, and it will be a
fierce one. If Paroles is on his way 10
Malamoros with large reinforcemen's it
will be a severe battle.

The New Orleans papers of the 22d ult,
contain further intelligence from the Seat
Of War, received by the steamship Ala>
bamu, from Brazos, on the 18th inst.
Official news had arrived at Isabel that
Col. Wilson. with four companies of re.
gulars and three companies of Alabama
volunteers had TAKEN BARITA with
out opposition.
The capture of this town is important,
as it contains large quantities OF provis>
ions and ammunition of the Mexican army.
Gen. Taylor was to cross the Rio
Grande for the purpose OF taking Matamo-
ros on the 18th. Having heard no cam
nonading at Point Isabel, it was the uni.
versal opinion that the Mexicans have
evacuated the town.
Gen Smiths command were on their
way, and had commenced their march on
the Island of Boca Chica, to cross the Rio
Grande at the mouth, and advance up the
river on the Mexican side.
CApt. WinddIe reports that 1900 Mex
leans were seen 10 march out of Ma:amo-
