luylOt'5 Ietf6ut IL uOt true, ana feIerA 10 the
following correspondence, which is Of the same
date of the news we published f,om the Bulle-
tin on Saturday. Tieksburg Iatelkgencer.
From the army Of Occupation.
My dear Frends.-Y esterday at abovt half
past IL, the "Star SpangIed Bannsr'' unfurled to
the breeze, was firmly planted on this bank of
the Rio Grande, opposite TO Matamoras, by the
army of occupation of Texas" and around
il were gathered hearts as true as ever beat in
the breasts Of any men. As il gave its beauti-
full folds TO the winds, no bTavado shouts, or
acclemations rent the air; but silently, as firm
iy, it took its place, while our Gand struck up
the sS.ar Spangled Bannerss and "Yankee Doc
die.
When we arrived, we found the Mexican
troops had retired, III was said that some few
days since some 1000 were on this side) to the
city of Matamoras, previously collecting up the
people living on this side, and directing them
to burn their houses. But two or three fami-
lies remain. Their boats wereall on the other
side, while crowds of people lined the opposite
bank, and companies of mounted men and foot
were seen marching in different directions
through the city and its skirfs. Behind their
fences, nearest the bank, we discover pieces
ofartillery. The Mexican flag was flying from
three points. Gen. Mejias quarters, the bar
racks of sappers of Miners, and the Artillery
barracks When our flag went up il was i'm
mediately followed by British and French flags.
But we looked in vain for The flag of our Con-
sul---he, no doubt, had some good rea son for its
absence.
Gen. Worth was ordered by Gen, Taylor to
cross the river with dispatches, for Gen. Mejia
and our Consul. He went with his staff to the
ferry. Some little.deisy occurred before any
response was made; finally boat came over,
and the general crossed, but Mejis cent Gen.
de la yegat to receive him, saying thsthe (Gen.
NJ being the chief in command, could receive
none but the chief in command. Gen.sw.
having been ordered to deliver his Dispatches
in person, returned with them, and there, I be-
lieve, all communication as yer has ceased
While there, Gen. de Ia Vega remarked to
Gen Worth that swhils the Americans held
their present position with respects Msiamo-
ras, the General could not think Of treating
or Communicating or words to that effect; that
this army could retire before they o5sid think
Of entertaining any ProPOs ton from uss Gen.
Worth replied to de Ia Vega, and requested shs
to be particular in explaining his

O'coN ELL The Liverpool Times speaking
ofthe declining health Of Daniel o'Connell
says; g
Gle has attained the allotted duration of hue
man life; but if oil the accounts appear to be
true, is not destined long to exceed it, Those
who see him nightly in the house Of Commons,
declare that be is sinking fast, and the lest
twelve months have added thirty years load to
his existence. He enters and leaves the house
leaning on the arm Of his son John, and, once
or twice, when he tried ospeak, his voice was
SO feeble as to be scarcely heard in the report
ers' gallery.-Ths appears to be the winding
up of career which will always stand out, 4s-
spite of its inperfections, as one of the most
remarkable in the history of the British nation.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier writes
Dispatches were received at the State De.
pnrtment per the Hibernia from Mr.. McLane,
our Minister Iat London, the exact purport Of
which am not informed, but anquestionably Of
an unfavorable character as is relates to the ex-
listing attitude of the Oregon question. Those
who from their position AMI political relations
are accurately advised Of the nature Of those
dispatches, and who are also the advocates of
a peaceful and equitable adjustment Of the diff
Guilty, are evidently alarmed at the posture of
affairs, and are full of apprehension that the
course Of our Government has been such as 10
make it extremely improbable that the matter
will be settled by negotiation.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the United States Senate on the Sd ult.,
Mr.. Rusk presented the credentials of General
Houston, the other Senator from Texas, who
was qualified and took his seat. Gen. Hous-
ton drew the shortest term, and goes out of
office 4th March, l847, and Gen. Rusk drew the
longest term, and is Senator till 4th March,
1851.
On the LIST inst, Mr. Benton replied to the
speech of Gen. Cass. In the language Of the
National Intelligencer, it was ga very thrilling
scene--a scene not more thrilling than it was
important in its bearing on the question Of
peace or war" The Baltimore American's
correspondent speaks Of it thus:
The speech of Mr.. Benton, in reply to Gen.
Cass, and against the ultra members Of the
Senate, has created more marked sensation
than any speech in { ongress during the session.
In his own words,u borowe ed from The poet, the
6fty-four men are becoming
HSmall by degrees and beautifully less.n
He adds the names Of jefferson and Madison
and Monroe, to those who have committed
themselves in favor Of settling the boundary
upon the line Of 400. The great question Of
title and territory, for HIMSELF he says, he will
not now argue, because while negotiations are
pending it is improper to do so. He declares
that he has confidence in the Exet utive and
will stand BY his settlement Of the question,
though clearly holding the President response
BILE for any failure to accomplish an amicable
settlement, if he can do 50 upon the line Of 400.
Mr., Hannegan's remarks, designating Mr..
Cass as the Achilles of his party, is regarded
as nomination Of the Senator from Michigan
for the Presidency. The few who appauded
in the galleries appeared to SO regard it, and
Al becsuse Mr. C.is for extreme 4neasures.--
There is but one opinion in regard to Mr.. Ben
toms speech, and that is, that it must prove
completely overwhelming to Mr.. Cass, who
promised more than he will make good.
