man and mankind was worthy Of their attention and the
Divine injunction laid down certain principles which
the gifts Of the Creator Man may pursue wealth. and
there was nothing to preventt provided he did
it. The love Of wealth could not be compared friend

CABINET CHANGEs.-There are any quantity of
reports in circulation in this city and Washington
in relation to contemplated changes in the Cabi-
net. There is very good authority for, or very
little truth in any of these rumors. 1t is our inn
preston that the President will not at present
make any removals. We do not therefore, give
any credit to the various reports which from time
to time reach MS. Every one pretends to have
the best authority for saying that a complete re-
organization is at hand and that some Of the lead
ing democratic Senators are to fill vacancies
among the Secretaries, by foreign appointments.
The present administration has been in power
sixteen months, and the Cabinet remains as it was
originally formed. There appears to be perfect
unanimity OF feeling between the heads of tho
different departments, and whatever changes
may be made after the adjournment Of Congress,
will, we have no doubt, be made to tho mutual
satisfaction Of the parties particularly interested.
Among the reports we have received, are those
that Mr.. Bancroft will receive the appointment of
minister to Vienna-that General Scmple, of Il
linois, has been offered seat in the Cabinet
and that Mr.. Buchanan, ne longer bound by the
Oregon question, will receive whatever ofice out
of the Cabinet he may demand, should he con-
cude to resign his present position; but we are
impressed with the bellefthat whatever changes
are really in contemplation, they are as yet only
known to the executive, and those Immediately
concerned in the movement.

The Last News from Mex,co.

The news from Mexico which we published in
yesterdays paper, and which we give more in de-
tail to day, is deserving Of more than passing
notice. IL appears that Arista had been removed
from the command Of the army, and Gen. Mejia
placed VI his stead.
The most important item, however, is the
declaration of independence of Yucatan, and
its disseverance from the Mexican republics
step fraught with momentous consequences
The State of Tamaulipas has been in state
OIL nsurrecnon for some time past. Yucatan
has declared her independence, and we are in
formed from a source entitled to credit that
number OF the most influential citizens of
Iamauhpas, Chihuahua, and one or two other
provinces, have submitted proposals to the Ame-
ncan government, entreating a cessation of the
war, as far as those States are concerned and inn
porng our protection while they form these States
into republic, with the view of eventually incpr-
porating their destiny with that of the United
States
This deserves TO be looked upon the most inn
portant piece Of intelligence that we have received
from Mexico in a long time. 1t shows clearly that
the long series of misrule the part of the mill
tay dictators is at last about produce its results
II is probable the movement will not stop until
Mexico has los, the principal part of her territory
or until that country blotted out from the faraily
of nations.
Doings In Washington-Congrcssi Move
ments.
The Senate acted upon q variety Of bills,
but made no progress of consequence in dsposing
OF them One very important thing was accom-
plished, in relation to the meeting of that body,
which We think is Indicative of a determination
10 push business more rapidly, and, if possible,
get through some time before the first Monday in
December next
The Secretary of the Treasury has been called
npon for estimates of revenue to be derived from
the measures proposed in his report
The bill in relation to a tariff Of prices for pub
lc lands, to be regulated by the length of time
fhcy have been in the market, will, without doubt,
pass. twill add very much to the revenue from
this source, and give great impetus to emigra-
ton. During the debate upon this bill, message
was received from the President, and the Senate
went into Executive session.
The tariff is dragging lis slow length along in
the House, and the members appear determined
10 make much Of the time allotted for the discus
sion of that measure. As yet, no new light has
been thrown upon the subject, and the same old
worn-out arguments have been offered in favor
OF, and against any reduction upon the present
average The fate ofthe tariff act of 1912, is very
doubtful, 80 much so, that it is difficult to form
any correct opinion in relation to the matters but
our impression is, that material alteration will
be imade-at all events, no reduction of conse-
quence in the protective features OF the present
act.

Organization OF an Expedition TO Califor-
nia-The Progress or the War with Mexi.
cO-Mllltary and Naval Enthusiasm.


One of the most important movements of the
day is the contemplated expedition to California
This expedition will consist of force of two thou
sand young men, selected from the best class of
mechanics and laborers of the middle and eastern
States, and will 60 in the capacity of soldier and
emgrant.
They are to be fully officered and equipped, and
receive the full pay Of U. s. volunteers, so long as
their services may be required by the general
government in their war with Mexico; at the close
which they are discharged, each receiving three
hundred and twenty acres of land in California,
on which they bound to settle. This is GER
tainly wise and judicous movement of the ad-
ministration, and appears to meet the appreciation
OF all interests; and its popularity among the class
of men required, is evident from the fact that
large number, even before the preliminary ar
rangements are made, have signifed their desire
to join this political crusade.
One or two vessels, we learn, are about being
sent to the destination, freighted with stores,
small arms, and ammunition, together with very
large number of heavy pieces of ordnance, more
than half Of which are 60 and 40 pound Paixhan
guns.
It's stated that the U. s. ship of the line Penn
sylvana, 10 guns, and the North Carolina and
Ohio, rated as 7fs, but each carrying 100 guns,
are ordered to be fitted Immediately for sea: but
what is to be their destination is as as yet secret
Of the administration.
True it is, there never has been 50 much activi-
ty in our several navy yards at this moment,
where there are between three and four thousand
mechanics and laborers most actively engaged in
putting things to rights. These movements, we
had supposed, woulo cease after the settlement
OF the Oregon question; but the same secret
energy and activity continue now that existed for
some tune previous to the profitable arrangement
70 US OF that question. Mr. Benton asserted that
the 9th parallel was the fighting line for us, and
on that line the government evidently intended to
drive stakes !" but what the move now is. i,
more than has been allowed 10 see the light
Something is evidently in the wind The proba
bllty is, if we mistake not, that the President
will make good his assertion in his annual mes
cage, that 9 no European power would be per.
rtted TO interfere with the political affairs Of this
continent
Cen. Taylor IS probably at this moment at the
The New York herald., 1846-06-30

head of an army of 1900 men, ON his way to
Monterey Instead Of opposition, the gates of
Mexican towns are flung open for the reception
OF his forces. The enemy may concentrate and
give him battle at Monterey, though the General
himself thinks there will be no decided engage
ment until he reaches the city of Mexico.
Col. Kearney is pushing on his Western
forces for Santa Fe, which is being strongly
fortified by the Mexicans. The force concentra-
ling there will number probably 5000 or 10000,
under the command of Gen. Wool, who, after
overrunning New Mexico, will JOIN his forces
with those under Gen. Taylor, and march for the
capital. Nothing can save the existence Of the
republic of Mexico but early proffers of peace,
made in good faith.
Yucatan, one ofihe best States Of the Republic,
has declared herself independent, and is anxious
TO blend her stars with those Of the Republic of
the North" The voice of her people must de-
eide. From all appearances this war cannot long
continue. The enemy already appears to be
scattered and broken. The well-tmed and ener-
getic action OF the administration, and the saga
city and bravery of General Taylor andhis brave
little army, has evidently carried dismay into
the enemy's country, and we may say that Mexi-
co is, in fact, at this moment in possession OF the
United States
Where, we would ask, is M. Guizot's balance
ofpower!
