The Morning Herald says that the Prince es-
capped att o'clock, on the morning Of the 25th-
and as the event was not discovered for ten

Several messages were received from the
President, and among them ono to cover the
treaty with Great Britain, which was signed
last night.
On motion Of Mr.. Speight, the Senate went
into Executive session on the Oregon treaty.
In the House, Mr., Medieval moVeda suspen-
sion Of the rules, in order to introduce a reso-
luton embodying a protest against the treaty
supposed to be in progress in regard to Oregon.
The resolution and preamble assume that the
treaty is a proper subject for the consideration
of the whole Legislative power, and for the
President and Senate to undertake in secret to
settleit, while the people are kept in ignorance
Of the terms, lisa violation ofthe peoples rights,
&c.
Therefore resolved, that in the opiRion Of
this House, it is the duty Of the President and
Senate to postpone further consideration and
action upon the same, and submitto ~thcpeople
for their instructions, &c.

IMPORTANT FROM WGsHEeToN,--The Tint
Blu takeagp in the Hoase.-The proceedings i
the Senate on the 18th were not Of materia
moment. Mr.. Allen desired to be excused
from serving any longer on the Committee 3
Foreign Relations, as recent circumstance bat
convinced him that his views of certain IN
portant matters were not in accordance will
those ola majority ofthe Senate.
In the Senate after action was had on ii,
Navy Appropriation bill, MI. Mckay moved (,
: 60 into Committee Of the Whole, for he 81,
pose Of taking up the Tariff Bill. The motto,
$ was agreed to--yeas 100 nays 81. So the
House went into Committee, Mr.. Cobb n ii
. Chair, and BY a vote Of lis to IL took up II
3 above Bill.
The House adjourned after various inefeci
tual attempts to- proceed to other business.
Mr.. Hnngerford offered q substitute FOR n
whole bill.
~ M. Wentworth gave notice Of an amend
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1846-07-04
The Tariff Bill.

The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more American, writes under date Of the 10th.
The tariff bill Of Mr.. Mckay covers eleven
sections, independently Of the schedules, and
of those there are seven giving the dutiable ar
ticles which are from seventy-fve per cent on
distilled spirits and cordials to five per cent.
upon articles Of immaterIal importance. The
bill Of Mr. Hungeford, to which / alluded yes
terday, and which at this momant has more
chances Of success than the bill of MI. Nc
Kay, has an enhancement of duties, and is more
protective thnn the bill Of Mr.. Mckay. The
duties are generally FIVE per cent. higher upon
manufactured articles, while all agricultural
products pay duty Of 80 per cent.
Mr.. Hungerford is a member Of the Commit
tee Of Ways al d Means, and four or five of the
members of this Committee would certainly
prefer the bill Of .Mr. FL, to that Of the Chair
man Of the Committee of Ways and Means.
The speaker Of the House, you will observe, in
calling Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, to preside in the
Committee Of the Whole upon this bill, has
called a decided anti-tarif member, and this
will throw an important advantage in favor Of
the free trade arm.
The vote upon the bill when taken, from
present indications, will be an exceedingly
close one, and opinion is much divided as to the
result.

Ts morn-thes6 sea breeze seemsto bring,
Joy, health, and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, 10 me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew
And perfumes rise from every grove
AS incense- to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But / am sad-thou art not here.
Tis noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves Of the deep
A soft haze like a fairy dream
Is floating over wood and stream
And many, broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is cleaning like a lovely star
But / am sad-thou art sfar.
'Tis eve-on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down and trembling glow.
Like blossoms in the wave below
And, like some unseen sprite, the breeze
Seems lingering, and these orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot
But | am sad-I see thee not.
IT'S mldnight-with d soothing spell
The fair tones of the ocean swell
Soft as q mothers cadence mild.
Low bending DER her sleeping child
And OF each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes Of the mocking bird
n many q wild and wondrOus lay
But | am sad-thOu art away.
Isink in dreams-low, sweet and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear
Around my cheek thy tresses twine-
Thy ownIoved hand is clasped in mine
Thy own soft'lip to mine is pressed
Thy head is pillow on my breast
Oh! | have all my heart holds dear
And am happy then artheTe.

We almost daily meet, in our exchanges,
with evidences Of the error into which the wri-
tiers Of books on Mexico, and particularly our
c%ountrymen, have fallen, in speaking Of
the discipline, 5ravery,and physical capabilities
Of the Mexican s%cldiery. These evidences, too
were others than those we already have Of
the manner in which the Mexicans disputed the
fields Of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma re-
quired--come from persons whose letters bear
the impress Of high intelligence, The BnIti-
more American publishes extracts from a letter
dated at Matamoras on the Goth ult in which
the writer says;
~ am struck with admiration when / view
our a little army and contemplate what they
have done in the last thirty days. They have
fought two pitched battles, against o~verwhelm-
ing odds, and in the last annihilated the Mexi-
can Army. ] examined both fields yesterday.
| saw where their best troops, the Garda Costa,
were drawn up, and l shall never forget the
scene, These brave men were literally slain
in their tracks by the awful fire Of our artillery
and the charge Of the infantry regiments. The
Fifth Infantry actually run them down three
times backwards and forwards, till but rs were
left out Of 400 men. Numbers of wounded
horses arc yet crawling on the ground, and
huge mounds of earth show where the dead are
buried.-NO Bulletin.
