In addition TO the Tariff Compromise which sent
you night before last hear that there another
der consideration. believe Mr. SIMMONS Intends
10 offer new proposition which is raise. in place
of reducing the Tariff Iu other words he is going
10 offer War Tariff Bill.
| sliIl have hopes, somehow, that this new WAL.
KER bill will not pass Though the party have de-
termined to pass it with shut eyes and ears; yet
hope they will be induced 10 pause. II would be

while there better one 10 be had. Mr.. Nc
LANE distinctly states that England did not make 1t
as an uliima,um and that she did not even pecI
that we would lake it. Nor does II appear that Mr..
Polk made any protes, against the Treaty.
In connection with this understand That q letter
has been received from Mr Nc ane. either by the
Cambria or the Great Britain. in which he yegrets
