Foco up to the hub-speaking of the Jsnicy of

IL am at loss to know what course they
will take as to the Mexican War-whether
they will vote the additional supplies or not.
They are DESTROYS of creating national debt
of two or three hundred millions. and this NAV
reconcile them 10 the war. On the whole think
their policy ought to be to aid the admnisra-

rect taxation. Such course will very proba-
bly, bring back the wings to power in l848

GENERAL BUTLER We regret to see that
some OF the nothern papers are publishing let
tiers from the army, rejecting on Gen. BurLER's
conduct in the recent affair at Monterey, the
tenor of them being that contrary to Gen. TAY-
LoR's orders or intentions, he had converted
what was intended to be feint into real
attack, by which his command was unneces-
sarily exposed in street fighting with the
Mcxicans in the houses or protected by parnpet
walls, aud that greatly increased loss of life
on our part was the consequence. We do not
so much blame the writers of these letters
as we do the recipients Of them, as they were
probably only meant for private information,
and not intended for publication. The Amer
lean people however will not be particularly
disposed to find fault with any one for little
extra display Of gallantry in action, though
we think it rather hard for Gen, Butler, that
he should in any way be censured on the
present occasion, when we recollect that no
fault or intimation of the kind has been fur
nshed by the commander-n-chief, hut who,
on the contrary, speaks in high terms Of him in
his official dispatches.-N. o. Bulletin.

New orleans Cotton Ma,ket::m NOV. Z,

The past week has been marked by general
activity in almost every branch of business
The sales of Cation, Sugar, Molasses and Yves
tern produce have been heavy, and there has
been a constant demand for shipment and ex-
port, which to considerable extent have been
freely met.
CorToN.-In our review Of last Wednesday
we noticed sales during the three days previous
of 10, $50 bales, without any material change-in
prices from our previous quotations On We'd
nesday the market continued animated, and
the transactions embraced $500 bales. On
Thursday there was less inquiry, and the ope-
rations were confined to 1900, and yesterday
there was perfect pause, the bales not onceed-
ing 200 bales. The cause of this falling of is
principally in the depressed rates OF Exchange,
Sterling having declined to 5Aa6'pr. cent prcm-
UNI, and Francs to 40, and the light demand
even at these reduced figures. Business has
also been to some extent suspended IN
co sequence of the ships at present loading hav-
ing received their complement, and buyers pre-
ferring to wait for favorable change before
making new engagements. mates W LiFeIpool
which had declined to I'd have been steady du-
ring the latter part of the week at Tiled. With
regard to prices, holders have latterly evin ced
a rather less confidence, and disposition to
meet the market more freely. The general inn
preston appears to be that unless the next
steamer bring decidedly favorable accounts,
prices must be easier, but at the same time,
the opinion is equally general that her advices
will fully sustain quotations. The business of
the three days amount in the aggregate to 1900
bales and of the week to l4,450. We repeat
our remarks on Wednesday, that prices have,
perhaps, generally Appropriated nearer 10 our
inside than our outside figure.
