The barque Texidore, Capt. Major.

sailed on the 2sth ult. There was a
great excitement prevailing there a.
mong the resident Americans in con-
sequence of the reception Of an order
for an EMB ARGO ON ALL A

The order came by express from
Mexico, and was Immediately followed
BY an order for the capture Of Captain
MAJORS vessel, and at the same time
h'ty Mexican soldiers were placed in
charge of New Orleans schooner
There were 400 Mexican soldiers in
Tohasco.

Santa Fe Expedition LIN a cam.
paign against New Mexico the princi-
pal difficulty will be to procure adc-
qua.e subsistence for the army. Some
thing may be done by killing game,
buffalo, deer and antelopes, and in
some places the herds Of wild mus
tangs will afford The means Of subsist-
ence. But this is very precarious
means keep large force in the field.
The cattle and sheep in New Mexico
would afford some supplies. but they
are not sufficiently numerous to main
tain large armies. To keep full sup
plies food would require much active
exertion and good management, and
large defachments Of hunters and fora
gers would have to be constantly kept
in the field. This would require more
skill and generalshIp than any part Of
the duties Of the campaingn. Supplies
Of provisions would haze to be hauled
in wagons across the plains, and herds
might be driven in the same direction.
The subsistence department OF such an
expedition would be peculiarly impor-
fant, and would call for the constant at
tention Of those in command. Suita-
bic preparations for supplies should be
made before the expedition starts, in
order that they may know on what to
depend.-[St. Louis New Era.

Friday, June l2.

Ibid not write last night, because
nv own judgment was in doubt as to
important matters connected with the
great question which is now pending.
Since then, have conferred personal
" with more than twenty Senators,and
can now speak with more confidence.
The terms before the Senate, though
not in form, are substantially the ulti-
matum of the present ministry. They
were not put in that shape. because
Sir Robert Peel did not desire to en-
b,rrass his successors with any com
initial to his policy, or to leave the re-
sponslbility Of war upon the should
ers of his friends, If one should grow
out Of it. This may be news to the
country, bat information is in the pos
session Of the Senate showing that Sir
Robert Peel will probably resign with
in thirty days. A portion Of the To-
ries have signifed to Lord John Rus
sell and his friends that they will form
coalition to expel the ministry when
ever they are ready. Sir Robert Is
appraised of this condition of things,
and will be apt TO take the Hour La
Dor Bill! as the chance to declare him
self fully, and to relinquish the Pre-
miership.
Last night good feeling prevailed
as to the result. Had vote been ia
ken yesterday, two-thirds could not
have been obtained. But one difficult
ty now is to be apprehended, and that
is as to amendments which may be Of
lered. For example: Great Britain
asks for the navigation of the Colum-
bia during the charter of the Hudson
Bay Company which expires in 1868
and not 1858 as you printed me; some
Senators fsar this stipulation would
cover renewal Of that charter. The
legal opinion is that it would not. Those
VINO raise the objection desire to insert
acausc to that effect. This would in
volve the necessity of returning the
proposition to England, for Mr.. Pa
kenham's hands are tied. The propo-
sal of Eogland submits that her pfivi-
lege of navigating the Columbia.
should he subject to the United States
laws of navigation and revenue, now
in existence. and that no further re-
strictions should be imposed without
reference to this right. The article
stipulating for remuneration for British
statements below the line Of 40 pro.
vides for compensation for any Amer
can possessions north of it.

which have already been published
Like all the other churches in Mexico,
il is built in the Catholic style. The
walls, Of several feet thickness, are
made of unhewn stone and lime. Up
on entering it, one is apt to recall the
wild lotions of the Arabian Nights;
It seems as il the wealth Of empires
was collected there. The clergy in
Mexico do not, for obvious reasons,
desire that their wealth shuld be made
known to its full extent; they are,
therefore, not disposed to give very
full inf rmation upon the subject, or
to exhibit the gold and silver vessels,
vases, precious stones, and other forms
OF wealth; quite enough is exhibited to
strike the heholder with wonder The
first object that presents itself OF enter
ing the cathedral is the altar, near the
centre of the building; it is made of
Ihighly-wrought and highly-polised sill
yer, and covered with a profusion Of
ornaments Of pure gold. On each side
OF this altar runs a balustrade, enclos-
ing space about eight feet wide and
eighty or a hundred feet long. The
balasters are about four feet high, and
four inches thick in The largest part; the
bandrail from six to eight inches wide.
Upon the top of this handrail, at the
distance Of six or eight feet apart, are
human images, beautifully wrought,
and about two feet high. All Of thee,
the balustrade, handrail, and images,
are made OF a compound OF gold, silver,
and copper-more valuable than silver.
| was told that an offer had been made
to take this balustrade, and replace il
with another Of exactly the same size
and workmanship Of pure silver, and
to give halfa million Of dollars besides.
There is much more Of the same bal
ustra3c in Other parts Of the church; I
should think, in all of it, not less than
three hundred feet.
As you walk through the building,
on either side there are different apart
ments. all filed. from the floor to the
with ceiling. paintings. statues. vases,
huge candlestlcks, waters, & thousand
other ar lcles, made OF gold or silver.
This. too, is only the every day dis
play Of articles Of least value; the more
costly are stored away in chests and
closets. What must it be when all
these are brought out, with the i'm
mense quantities of precious stones
which The church is known to possess?
And this is only one Of the churches Of
the city Of Mexico, where there are
between sixty and eighty others. and
some Of them possessing little less
wealth than the cathedral; and 1t must
also be remembered. that all the other
large cities. such as PuebIa, Guadalaja-
ra, Gnansjuato, Zacatecas, Durango,
San Louis Potosi, have each proper
tionate number Of equally gorgeous cs-
tablishments.--[Gen. Thompsons. Rec

Colonel was IN the habit OF visiting
